1
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: What is going on? Everybody? It is about ten forty

2
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: at night. I just got back from Levi's Stadium and

3
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: attended the Monday night football game. Uh you know, I

4
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,319
Speaker 1: live about forty five miles away and it took me

5
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: about two hours. Now, I may or may not have

6
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: swung by Wendy's and slammed a spicy chicken sandwich. But god,

7
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: what a game? What a what a game? Uh wow

8
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 1: that was. I'm still still pretty blown away by why

9
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: what I just witnessed. We're obviously going to dive into that. Uh,

10
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: thank god, it's so late. And luckily, you know, I'm

11
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: a forward thinker, A may or may not have recorded

12
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: all of the podcasts before this, so I I talked

13
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: about Jason Garrett, the Packers, some of the officials, and

14
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: some of the shoes that are going on in the NFL.

15
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: You know, the most you could argue the most shocking

16
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: games so far of the season was the Raiders kicking

17
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: the crap and they kicked the crap out of the Bears.

18
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: The score was much closer than the actual game. And

19
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: then dan Quinn, I mean, what's going on with Atlanta?

20
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: And then, like always, the middlecoff mail back at John

Speaker 1: Easiest way to get a hold of me. Slide up

26
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: in those d m s. Let's start with tonight, and uh,

27
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: since since I know Colin will surely if you're listening

28
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: to this, hell, I mean, we get a lot of

29
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: listens before Colin even goes on air, but I would

30
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: imagine you're gonna open a show up with Baker Mayfield. Altho,

31
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: I've been a Baker here in a second, But I'm

32
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: gonna start with forty Niners. I I think they earned

33
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: this tonight. And uh, I said before the season, I

34
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: was someone that talked about Kyle like one of the

35
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: best coaches in the NFL, and through two years he

36
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: didn't have you know, tangible results because he lost a lot.

37
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: And I say it over and over, the great part

38
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: about the NFL is it's pretty black and white when

39
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: I talked about coaches or players. It's production, big bass business.

40
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: You either win or you lose, and for two years

41
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: Kyle lost. Now you could siphon out. He had five

42
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: games with Jimmy his first you know, those two years,

43
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: and I guess it would have been he got him

44
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: his first year and then the second year Jimmy got

45
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: hurt three games in and in those eight starts through

46
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 1: the first two years when he had, you know, the

47
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: the ninth overall pick, and then he had the second

48
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: overall pick. In those eight games, he was six and two.

49
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: And then you give Jimmy to Kyle this year and

50
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: he is four and too. You know, he's ten and two.

51
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: So in twelve games, he's one ten of them. So

52
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 1: that's pretty damn good. When Jimmy Garoppolo's his quarterback, Kyle

53
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: is pretty good. And the one thing I felt confident

54
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: about watching Kyle's teams, Obviously, you need to acquire talent,

55
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: you know, whenever you take over a team like Kyle

56
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: took over with the mess that he inherited with Trent

57
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: Balking and Chip Kelly was a joke, It really was,

58
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: and they did a good job through two years. But

59
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: this offseason they took it to another level. But the

60
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: one thing you noticed, and I'm I watched every minute

61
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: of every Niner game, probably the team that I keep

62
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: the closest eye on them and the Raiders, but specifically

63
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: the Niners. Know a lot of people in the organization.

64
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: I've followed them my entire life, but I've really watched

65
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: this Kyle team very very closely, and they always played

66
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: so hard, you know, And I'm sure we got Atlanta

67
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: Falcons fans and Redskins fans you have, you know, the

68
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: Houston Texans fans. You followed Kyle Shanahan's career. His ship works,

69
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: he has a dynamic offensive play caller. But I always

70
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: when when you would talk to Joe Staley or George

71
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: Kittle or the defensive guys, they really liked them. And

72
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: I I say it all the time, and I live

73
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: by this. I don't ever judge guys off what they say.

74
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: I judged by them off their actions and whenever, even

75
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: when the team was really terrible, they played their ass off.

76
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: They played really, really hard. So you went got if

77
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: they could ever get some more talent, this thing is

78
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: gonna work. Well. They had a pretty unreal off season

79
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: because if you've listened to me, you know, I wasn't

80
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: that big of a Nick Bosa guy. Not because I

81
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: didn't I knew he was a top five player. I

82
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: just thought Quinn and Williams had much more upside well

83
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: leaving the game tonight and really his first three games,

84
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: he's been awesome. Tonight he was a one man wrecking crew.

85
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: He was the baddest m Efer on the field tonight.

86
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: And that's a field with Odell Beckham, That's the field

87
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: with the Ford, with the Forrest Buckner, with Richard Sherman,

88
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: with Jimmy Garoppolo Baker Mayfield. And it wasn't Miles Garrett

89
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: and it wasn't even close. He was an unstoppable force

90
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: tonight and one guy. And I don't meant Naggie always

91
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: says this about Khalil Mack. It's a little different with Khalil,

92
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: who actually didn't have a very good game against the Raiders,

93
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: is that he calls Khalil a multiplier, and just watching

94
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: this Niner team with Bosa, I do think there's some

95
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: of that with him a multiplier. When I say multiplier,

96
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: I just mean he elevates everyone around him. He has

97
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: brought because he's so damn good, a swag kind of

98
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: all the other players. The Niners defense is just really good.

99
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: It is really really talented, and if you give Kyle

100
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: Shannah had a good defense. Hell, he could win games

101
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:24,239
Speaker 1: with Brian Hoyer, let alone, Jimmy Garoppolo, George Kittle, Kyle Uschek,

102
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: who hopefully is okay. I know he's a listener of

103
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: this show. He's an absolute hammer. Kyle and the Shanahan

104
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: family have making running had, you know, generating and creating

105
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: explosive plays from the run game with guys you've never

106
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: heard of for twenty plush years. I know if you

107
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: don't watch the Niners that closely now, I would imagine

108
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: some of you guys play fantasy football. From Breda to

109
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: Mozart to obviously Telvin Coleman we've known about, but he's

110
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: been injured. This was the first game back since Week

111
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: one and he turned his ankle. They got dudes, and

112
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: their receiving corps not great, but that's just a well

113
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: coached team and and I feel confident now and kind

114
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: of validated that. I knew Kyle was a good coach.

115
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: But eventually you gotta win. And now he's got talent

116
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: and now he's winning. Now are they a super Bowl team?

117
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: Are they even a twelve win team? I'm not gonna

118
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: go that far, but it's pretty clear they're a playoff team.

119
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: They're a high level team in terms of they have

120
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: talented players, they have a really really good coach, and

121
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: they have a high end like tonight, Now they were

122
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: coming off of bye. But when you come off of

123
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: bye and you have talent and you have a good coach,

124
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: you should beat the ship out of someone. And that's

125
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: what they did, and they beat a team. At least

126
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: sitting from the stands, I gotta rewatch the game on

127
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: my iPad. Might actually do this after I hit save

128
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: and before I go to bed is let's transition to

129
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: the other team. And I'm taking nothing away from the

130
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: Niners because they came out like Mike Tyson, they hit

131
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: him square in the jaw and the team fell. And

132
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: like Mike Tyson says, everyone has a game plan until

133
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: you get hit in the mouth. Well, Cleveland, I don't know.

134
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: Freddy Kitchen has a game plan or not. And whatever

135
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: game plan they had, they actually ran a couple of

136
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: cool players early on in the game. They just didn't work.

137
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: But sometimes the game plan doesn't work, like can you change,

138
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: can you adapt? Can you throw another pitch? Can you

139
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: coach through it? Can your players play through it and

140
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: from the stands now, you know, just blue Collar wasn't

141
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: that close and three hundred, so I was, you know,

142
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: relatively far away, but I had a good bird's eye view.

143
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: It looked like they almost quit early on. It almost

144
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: looked like the Cleveland Browns did not want to be there,

145
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: like we don't want to play in this game, especially once.

146
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: I mean it was like ten nothing, like ah, we're

147
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: over it. Maybe it was fourteen nothing. They just looked

148
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: over it, like is this is this really going on

149
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: right now? Because I would imagine that Colin and all

150
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: the people talking today Baker Mayfield's numbers I I just

151
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: saw it on my phone was like eight of two

152
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: through hundred. It was was terrible from my vantage point.

153
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: And this is back to Bosa and de Ford and

154
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: all those guys. It didn't look like Baker even had

155
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: a chance, Like if Tom Brady would have been playing,

156
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: if Rogers has been playing, he would have got his

157
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: ass kicked because they couldn't block for him. The thing

158
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: that I noticed again, like maybe it looked a little

159
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: bit different on television, but from my vantage point, I

160
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: can't put that much on Baker. Now does he hold

161
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: the ball a little too long for sure. But the

162
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: play that he hits Calaway a little behind him, he

163
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: hits the guy in the hands. Now he had to

164
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: adjust the ball, hits off his foot and the Niners

165
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: guy picks it off and takes it Kwan Alexander, who

166
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: has not been playing very good this season, and takes

167
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: it back fifty yards like, am I gonna crush Baker

168
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: for that? Now? Here's where I will, you know, put

169
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: something on Baker. Nick Bosa after the game was saying

170
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: basically he was talking ship to Baker all game long

171
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: because Nick Bosa came from Ohio State where he planned

172
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: the flag, which and I had no problem with Baker

173
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: planting the flag back in the day. But when you

174
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: when you are planting the flag guy and then are

175
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: always talk guy when you do eventually face a Nick Bosa,

176
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: a Khalil Mack, a J. J. Watt, and for whatever reason,

177
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: you've pissed them off. That's what's weird about the Browns

178
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: is it felt like the Niners were hunting the Browns

179
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: like the Niners were the undefeated team. This team was

180
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: two and two, and it felt like the Niners were

181
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: they guy, the team taking the swing at the Browns,

182
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 1: the Browns who have never done anything I want. With

183
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: my buddy Brian today and we're sitting there watching the game,

184
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: having a couple of beers, and I was like, you know,

185
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: what's crazy? In our thirty five years of life, I

186
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: don't how many times with the brown has been good,

187
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: especially in our adult life. They've had what one winning

188
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: season the last twenty plus years, yet somehow because of

189
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: how much their quarterback talked and how much hype, and

190
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: rightfully so, because their team is really talented, Like the

191
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: Niners would take Landry, they take Biles Garrett, they take

192
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. They would take a bunch of those

193
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: dudes on defense, like they got some players, but they

194
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: were just anointed at you know, it's like the Patriots,

195
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and the Browns. What huh? And that's where

196
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: I and I've told Colin this. I disagree with Colin

197
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: about the talent I think in Baker Mayfield, but I

198
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: never disagreed with this take of you know, acting like

199
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: that and carrying yourself like that when you really dove

200
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: into the season last year of who did he beat?

201
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: And he didn't play well against good teams, And I

202
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: think the most overstated thing right now in NFL. In

203
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 1: the NFL with young quarterbacks is like what a young

204
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: quarterback breaks a rookie record where breaks his team, Like

205
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: Derek Carr just became the all time pastor for the

206
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders. You do understand that the inflated numbers in

207
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: these last four or five years in the NFL are

208
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: unlike anything we've ever seen. It would be like if

209
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: a guy came up to the majors right now and

210
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: hit seventy home runs, like what I think I was

211
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 1: a rookie hent he did that, it would just stand out.

212
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: That's what the equivalent of what guys are doing right

213
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: now in football relative two dudes in the seventies and

214
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: the eighties, Like it just wasn't normal to do that.

215
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: And I know trow Haikman got mad about my homes,

216
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: but if you look at Troy Aikman's numbers, who had

217
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: a great career, like a good season for him was

218
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: like twenty five touchdowns, So it's impossible to parallel, Like, oh,

219
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: Baker threw more touchdowns than any rookie quarterback ever relative

220
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: to who like who was really thrown or whatever his

221
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: stats that he broke, I don't care. But back to Baker,

222
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: I'm not putting a night on him because every time

223
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: it felt like he was running for his life. Legitimately

224
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: split seconds those guys were in the backfield. I put

225
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: it more Freddy Kitchen as his team look lifeless. Uh

226
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: they look like a bunch of mercenaries, just kind of

227
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: hobbled together. Uh. Looking from the again my view vantage point,

228
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: does Odell Beckham really want to be there? And this

229
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: is something Collins talked about before, like, don't get it,

230
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to be in Cleveland, and I get

231
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: his Monday night football, but they just like, like, what

232
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: are we doing here? Is Freddie Kitchens like a lot

233
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: to be a one and done coach? Here's a novel concept.

234
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: Don't just hire a coach because your rookie quarterback is

235
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: friends with him. He's clearly over his head. I mean,

236
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: I back to Kyle. I think Kyle is a good coach,

237
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: but he's not Belichick. I mean, he shouldn't just make

238
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: you look like a pee wee coach. He embarrassed him

239
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: the night people were talking about in my section, does

240
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: Freddie Kitchens make it on the team chart or home?

241
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: Do you invite him back? To the facility. How do

242
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: you shake this night? That was one of the biggest

243
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: The score doesn't even do with the game that I

244
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: witnessed Justice. If you have to say the game that

245
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: you just witnessed, what would the score be, I'd be like, uh,

246
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: fifty eight zero, That's what it felt like, where every

247
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 1: quarter they score eighteen points or seventeen points. That was

248
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: That was his gutless of a performance. Like I feel,

249
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: I think the Niners are good, and I think they're

250
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: a playoff team, but I thought tonight was as much

251
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: about as gutless of of a performance you'll see from

252
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns that that was an embarrassment. Niners play hard.

253
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: They've been playing hard for the last three years. They

254
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: just have more talent now. They play hardever, game, most

255
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: most decent NFL teams play hard. Like if your team

256
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: doesn't play hard, you just have a clown operation going.

257
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: Even you look at crappy teams. For the most part,

258
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: teams are gonna play pretty hard on a on a

259
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: weekend week out basis, especially on Monday Night football. It's

260
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: one thing if like the Miami Dolphins are on Monday

261
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: Night Football and I think actually they might be coming

262
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: up later this season, like they're they're just so bad

263
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: you can't even expect them and to do anything. But

264
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: if you have Odell Beckham, Jervis Landry, Myles Garrett, some

265
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: other dudes on defense, like, you shouldn't just you should

266
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: not look gutless, you should not look like you're quitting.

267
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: And that in the NFL, in the business that is

268
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: the sport of football, that usually gets put on the

269
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: head coach because they're in charge of game planning, they're

270
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: in charge of motivating, they're in charge of kind of

271
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: rallying the troops. And you saw one guy that clearly

272
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: people play for him. You saw another guy where do

273
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 1: they even believe in what's going on? Do they even

274
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: want to be there? The Cleveland Browns are an absolute disaster.

275
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: If you would have told me that when I got

276
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: back here tonight, I don't think I could have even

277
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: believed what I just witnessed if you would have tried

278
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: to explain it to me. As I was driving down

279
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: to lee By Stadium today in the middle of the day,

280
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: I kept telling everyone I get. I kept getting text

281
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: like do you like the Browns? Uh? You know? To

282
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: cover the five points? I'm like I think five points

283
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: a lot, then that line should be closer to three. Hell,

284
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: thirty points wouldn't have been enough. What what? What a joke?

285
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: I I feel for Cleveland Browns fans, and there were

286
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: a lot of them there at tonight at Levi's because

287
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: that was as big of an ass swoop and as

288
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: you'll see it on a Monday night football game. Okay,

289
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: let's dive into, you know, the Marquee game of Sunday.

290
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: It didn't quite turn out that way, and I'll start

291
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys and then we'll dive into the Packers.

292
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: And it hit me yesterday and listen, maybe I've been

293
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: on the Jason Garrett island longer than others. I always

294
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: thought he got somewhat of a raw deal. His team,

295
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: especially the last four or five years, have been really competitive.

296
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: He's made the playoffs multiple times, even won a playoff

297
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: game last year. Everyone talks about him like the village idiot,

298
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, no, he's not the village idiot.

299
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: Guy's an ivy leaguer. He's actually an intellectual elite. But

300
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: it hit me yesterday. I'm around living in northern California.

301
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: A lot of these intellectual elites. I'm just a state

302
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: school guy, got a couple of state school degrees up

303
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: on my wall, but I'm around a lot of cow Stanford,

304
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: U c l A. These super, super, really bright guys.

305
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: My dad went to Davis, but you see Davis, All

306
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: these guys are really smart. And to me, there are

307
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: a lot of smart guys just in society that underachieve,

308
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: and people like me benefit because if all the smart

309
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: guys maximize their abilities, they would run the world. I

310
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: watched this documentary. I don't even know if it was documentary.

311
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: It was just I watched a couple of episodes about

312
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: Bill Gates on Netflix, and you just realize the guy's

313
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: intellectual capacity is incredible. The dude is brilliant. He can

314
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: read at rapid speeds and comprehend information like I always

315
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: did poorly in reading comprehension. I gotta reread stuff like

316
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: ten times. The guy just flies through things, retains it all,

317
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: and then use it to dominate business. And he's been

318
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: dominating business now for like thirty years now. Perfect timing.

319
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: He was in software stuff the time the Internet was

320
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: blowing up. But you can't dispute if you watch this documentary.

321
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: I think on Netflix, maybe HBO or Amazon Prime, just

322
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: google it. It's it's just really powerful. The guy is

323
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: the highest level business nerd and probably in the history

324
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: of the world genius. Now, Jason Garrett, if you just

325
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: had him take a standardized test, he do really well.

326
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: The way these IVY leagues work, they don't just let

327
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 1: anyone into school. It's like Stanford. If you get into

328
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 1: Stanford to play football, like Richard Sherman, like Andrew Lock,

329
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: like all these guys balled win over there. They're really smart.

330
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: They're the high end of intellectual intelligence. When it comes

331
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: to NFL players, not just because you're smart doesn't make

332
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: you a good player. I e. Jason Garrett, who's a

333
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: lifetime backup. But I always thought, you know what, this

334
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: guy is gonna eventually figure it out. And I'm watching

335
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: him against the Packers, just look absolutely lifeless on the sideline.

336
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: And he doesn't call offense, he doesn't call defense. He

337
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: really doesn't do anything except kind of be the CEO.

338
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: But to me, he's the worst kind of CEO because

339
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 1: he's this intellectual, super bright guy and he's got no balls.

340
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: And I'm a big believer just in life, what separates people,

341
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,959
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily your intelligence, because we've seen a lot

342
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: of intelligent people fail time and time again or not

343
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: reach their capacity. But some of of people in my

344
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: life that I've been around that are that runs successful businesses.

345
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 1: They are not the highest educated people. I'd argue they

346
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: just have the biggest balls. They consistently are not afraid.

347
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: And I watched Jason Garrett who was just ever just

348
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: he always looks terrified to take chances, like, Jason, do

349
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: you ever just run trick plays? Do you ever go

350
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: for it? When people are like, you know, this is

351
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: a ballsy call. We've never once and again I I'm

352
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: dying on the hill and I'm finally jumping off. I

353
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: still believe in Kellen Moore. I'm not necessarily changing my

354
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: tune there. I think he's run into two really good

355
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators back to back weeks. I think he's smart

356
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: enough sometimes. You know, I've talked a lot about it

357
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: on this show. Experience does matter. You know, there's a

358
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: thing that Andy Reid, Sean Payton, Pete Carroll, Bill Belichick,

359
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: they can always go back to the well help Mike Petton.

360
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: He's been in this league for what fifteen plus years?

361
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore can't really go back to the well that

362
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: often in the NFL, he needs to rely on Jason

363
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: you know, his head coach, who's an offensive guy, and

364
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: what what's he bringing to the table, Like, where can

365
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett bring in a curve ball? Because the number

366
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: one thing that I see he lacks, which is gonna,

367
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: you know, inhibit his ability to ever become a top

368
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: notch coach, is he kind of coaches scared. He's kind

369
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: of a woos and he never does anything where you go,

370
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: WHOA didn't expect to see that an onside kick up.

371
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: It's just something crazy, any sort of curve ball, because

372
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: you know what, at the end of the day, he

373
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: doesn't have it in him. He's just a super smart,

374
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: vanilla guy. I bet he's the same breakfast, same lunch,

375
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: just kind of like a military And I'm not saying

376
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: there's anything wrong with that, but sometimes in the NFL

377
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: as a head coach, you have to color outside the

378
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: lines a little bit. I'm pro structure. I'm pro you know,

379
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 1: trying to eat healthier or whatever. I'm pro like every

380
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: week we do the same things. Belichick, his weeks don't

381
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,959
Speaker 1: change now, his game plans do and I don't think

382
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett is either capable of changing game plans or

383
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: two he's terrified too, Like, I don't know how this

384
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 1: will work. Who gives a ship if we gotta fail.

385
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: Let's failed, But you guys consistently failed with the Cowboys

386
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: doing the same thing over and over, hammering hammer and

387
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: Z Cameron Z cameras well. It's not working, Jason, it's

388
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: not working. Can you get can you get dak some

389
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: just lay up passes now. Early in the game, it

390
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: was somewhat of a you know, of a big moment

391
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: of Maori dropped to pass and then and then it

392
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: kind of the snowball effect there right the the floodgates

393
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: opened up and the Packers never looked back. But I

394
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: I do see the Packers. They're willing to take some chances.

395
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: You look at all the best teams around the league

396
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: right now, the Colts, they're always taking chances. We we

397
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: crushed Pete Carroll the other night for not going on

398
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: fourth and down or fourth down. We crushed uh. You know,

399
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: over the years, Belichick, he's always willing to take chances.

400
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: It doesn't always have to work. Like we're not about

401
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: Like I had no problem. Everyone's like, I can't believe

402
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 1: coach read ran that play, you know on fourth down,

403
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: Well one he went for on fourth down to his

404
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: quarterback was hobbled. There's somewhat limited. Your fourth down plays

405
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: aren't always gonna work. I give you credit for just

406
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 1: going for it. Jason Garrett feels like the guy that

407
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: would never go for it. It feels like the guy

408
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: that's terrified to going for it. He's just so vanilla.

409
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: And I saw the what everyone's been saying. It's not

410
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: like I'm probably preaching to the choir here. You guys

411
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: have been saying this and seeing this forever. But man,

412
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 1: it's like, Jason, get out of your comfort zone. Take

413
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: some chances. You have too talented of a team to

414
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: just stay in the slow lane. Sometimes you gotta get

415
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: in the fast lane to get where you're going. And

416
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: right now he just refuses to get out of that thing.

417
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,199
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm not gonna turn on my blinker, I'm

418
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: not gonna go over you know, two lanes, Like Jason, Well,

419
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: then you're just not gonna make it to your destination

420
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: because you're in the last year of your contract. I

421
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: don't think it's Super Bowl or bust, but you better

422
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 1: get to the NFC Championship game. You have the talent.

423
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: You got players in every position. Your defense is absolutely loaded. No,

424
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: you don't have anything to do with it. And I

425
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: know they didn't play well terday, but they are really good.

426
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: You need to mix it up, my man. If you

427
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: want to color inside the lines, you will be relieved

428
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: of your duty after the of your duties. After this season.

429
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: You're the head coach of the Cowboys. You got a

430
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: pretty good thing going. Jerry and Stephen clearly love you,

431
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: but you're just refusal to do anything outside of the lines.

432
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: It is gonna be your undoing. Okay, let's dive into

433
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: the Packers, and they remind me of an experience I

434
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: had in college when I went to cal Poly in

435
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: like oh three, oh four, oh five, the M M

436
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: A was taking off, and it just so happened in

437
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: the town that cal Poly's in San Luis Obispo. They

438
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: had a guy that was born and raised there and

439
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: then went to the school and he was a wrestler.

440
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: His name was Chuck Lydell. He became the star of

441
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 1: M M A. I'm not the biggest M m A guy,

442
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 1: but I got into it. With him, you meet him

443
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: around town. He was always around. He was like a superstar.

444
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: He's like the rock star of the town. And what

445
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: Chuck Ladell did better than every other fighter is he

446
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: hits you like my tyson. He had a right that

447
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: if he connected to your jaw, you would go night night.

448
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 1: It was a rap. Despite being a college wrestler, which

449
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: probably has a good wrestling program, he was not a

450
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,959
Speaker 1: very good wrestler at that level. So if you got

451
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: him to the ground, if he couldn't connect, he was

452
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: going to lose. But if he hits you with the

453
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: right either an uppercut or hook, it was game, set match.

454
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: And for the last several years the Packers have had one,

455
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: you know, one thing to knock you out. It was

456
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: Rogers throwing touchdowns. That's all they could do. They couldn't

457
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: play any defense, they couldn't run the ball. They just

458
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: had one nasty right hook and it was led by

459
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: Number twelve and it was him just making crazy ass

460
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: plays and throwing TVs. And he's one of the best

461
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: at it we've ever seen. But football is not basketball.

462
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: If he was the equivalent to Lebron James or Steph

463
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: Curry or Kevin Durant. He couldn't carry the team by himself. Though.

464
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: Remember a couple of years ago now I think it

465
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: was the year of the Falcon made the Super Bowl.

466
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: Rogers got him in the playoffs and rattled off some

467
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: playoff victories basically just by himself and throwing touchdowns. But

468
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: for the most part, they have not been a balanced team.

469
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: The one time they had some balance, they won the

470
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl back in two thousand and ten. But I

471
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 1: saw him several years when the defense kind of became

472
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: a show of himself. I went to some of these

473
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: games against the fort and Jim Harbaugh was kicking their

474
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: ass because Hardbo's team was more physical and they could

475
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: run it right down their throat. Well, now, for the

476
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: first time, it feels like it would be the equivalent

477
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: of Chuck Ladell could wrestle and move and knock you out.

478
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: Because I'm watching the Packers going well. Their run games

479
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 1: top notch. They have a running back that had four

480
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: touchdowns yesterday, but he has eight on the season, so

481
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna get when it's all said and done. You know,

482
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: eighteen rushing touchdowns. To me, that's balance. And then you

483
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: watch their defense. They got dbs everywhere, they got multiple

484
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: cover corners. They added those Smith guys that are really good,

485
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: you know. I call him the Smith brothers. Smith Brothers

486
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: two point out like Alden and Justin, they're a little different,

487
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: but their playmakers. All they do is make plays. And

488
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: then with Blake Martinez and Kenny Clark, like, they're just

489
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: a really good tackling team. They're a tough team and

490
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: they have balance. And I'm not a big Matt Lafleur guy,

491
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: and not really much has changed because in the game

492
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: where Aaron Rodgers really broke out a couple of weeks

493
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: ago against the Packer or against the Eagles, I thought

494
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: Rodgers kind of wanted a throwback, Let's go three and

495
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: four wide and I'll carry this bad boy, and it

496
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: ultimately didn't work. But when the la Fleur's, the mcveigh's

497
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: and the Shanahans, what makes the young guys kind of impressive,

498
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:37,719
Speaker 1: which I will give him crudos to this. They they

499
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: come from a philosophy of run the ball first. And

500
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: when you can run the ball first and you have

501
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: a good defense, you're gonna be in all these games.

502
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 1: And then when you just have Aaron Rodgers, because at

503
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: any moment's notice. He can just make an Aaron Rodgers

504
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: type play. You're gonna be good. I thought they were

505
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,959
Speaker 1: not gonna make the playoffs. I don't see anyway at

506
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: four and one, and the balance in which they have,

507
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: even if Matt Lafleur's and some great head coach, how

508
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: they don't make the playoffs. They're just too talented of

509
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: a team, they really are. They're too physical, they're just

510
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: too well balanced. They have players basically at every position.

511
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: I mean, they just won that game, and let's call

512
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: it what it is. They kick the crap out of

513
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. The final score says thirty four. The game

514
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: I witness felt more like forty. It was an ass

515
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: whooping led by Rogers, led by the defense, led by

516
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: the running back, just just a beat down. And for

517
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: for a long long time we said, kid, the Packers

518
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: are soft. The Packers are soft. The Packers are soft.

519
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,479
Speaker 1: I can't say that anymore. Like when I see the Packers,

520
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: I go, that's a physical football team. And when you're

521
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: a physical football team with the Hall of Fame quarterback,

522
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: a running game, and a top notch defense, you're a threat.

523
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,959
Speaker 1: And when you start looking at the NFC Philly's got

524
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: some issues they can't cover. We already saw a Green

525
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: Bay matches up pretty well against them. They just kick

526
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,479
Speaker 1: the crap out of Dallas. You know, the forty Niners,

527
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: we got a long way to go. The Ram Seattle

528
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: the I would say the Packers would match up pretty

529
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: well against Seattle. That I think when it's all said

530
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: and done, now you're gonna see the Packers are point

531
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: up their schedule right now. I know they play the

532
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: forty Niners in a couple of weeks. They basically they're

533
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: scheduled the Lines, the Raiders, the Chiefs, the Niners, the Bears,

534
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: the Vikings. I mean, we're gonna learn a lot about

535
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: this team. But I'm looking at him like a twelve

536
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: or thirteen win squad right now. I I think they

537
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: are really good. I'm changing my tune on them. They're

538
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: just they're too well put together at every position. And

539
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: if Davante is healthy, I would just I'd make sure

540
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: he was healthy because if he's healthy, they're a They're

541
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: a major threat to to be dealt with. Because for

542
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: a long long time, there were a one trick pony

543
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: and now they got about seven tricks and we've seen

544
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: the top team in the league for the last twenty

545
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: years been the Patriots. They could beat to a million

546
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: ways and they're still doing it. When you can beat

547
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: teams more than one way and you don't get dependent

548
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: on just one element that you do really well, even

549
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: if it's a passing game led by Aaron Rodgers, you're

550
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,479
Speaker 1: gonna be a threat to win every game. And clearly

551
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: this team is gonna be heard from come January. Okay,

552
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: let's dive into the officials, and this is you know,

553
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: I don't love talking about the officials, but I do

554
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: think these last several years, they're at an all time low.

555
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 1: It feels like these guys have no clue what they're doing.

556
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: And I've said over and over and I say the

557
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: same thing about baseball, and I say the same thing

558
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 1: about basketball. They have to be better. We've never had

559
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: more money on the line. They have to figure this out.

560
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: And I've really kind of realized that I don't think

561
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: anything's ever gonna change. I I really don't. I saw

562
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: I consider it one of the more embarrassing personal foul

563
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,959
Speaker 1: or you know, unsports night conduct or whatever the proper

564
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: term is for it. Yesterday on Jason Garrett. I didn't

565
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: have money on the Cowboys or anything. I actually I

566
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: was kind of getting joy I'll watch them get their

567
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: butts kicked. But Jason Garrett slammed a red flag yesterday

568
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: in front of official and they threw a flag. And

569
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: I say this all the time about basketball. I talked

570
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: a lot about the Warriors, you know, and Draymond Green

571
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: gets a lot of penalty or a lot of technical fouls.

572
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: If I crossed the line as an athlete or a

573
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: coach and I say something personal to you, if I

574
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: bring up your family, if I make some sort of

575
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: homophobic reference, I got no problem with you teeing me

576
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: up or throwing a personal foul. But if I yell

577
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: the effort at you, this is not little leak. We

578
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: are not teaching life lessons. This is a fifteen billion

579
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: dollar business with a lot on the freaking line. And

580
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett is coaching for his literally for his coaching life,

581
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: and he maybe says f you to you as he

582
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: slams the red flag. I'm sorry, referees, this ain't about you.

583
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: I that that individual referee should be either find or suspended.

584
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 1: That that is that should not be tolerated. Again, this

585
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: is not peewee football. This ain't even college football. That

586
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: would piss me off in college, but teaching some life lessons,

587
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: I get it, there are We ain't doing life lessons

588
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: on Sundays. We're doing business. This is it's the only

589
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,239
Speaker 1: thing that matters. And these referees get so caught up

590
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: in their feelings it's a joke. But I've also come

591
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: to grips with this. You know who doesn't necessarily care

592
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: how this plays out, win or lose on a typical

593
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: Sunday are most of the owners in the league office,

594
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, what the NFL

595
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: is is the most powerful thing we have on television

596
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: right now. It consistently draws fifteen million people, sometimes more

597
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: than that with big games to their television sets. And

598
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: the NFL makes so much freaking money on their media

599
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: deal because of that, and they really just want interest

600
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: to be high. And this is this is drama that

601
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: feels like a big deal. I'm talking about it, you're

602
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: talking about it. We're getting sensed about it. When the

603
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: calls go the wrong way. It pisses us off. When

604
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: our team loses, our players get screwed, our coach get screwed,

605
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: vice versa. It's ridiculous because we see every game these calls,

606
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: and I think most people, if they took a deep breath,

607
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: would say that job is pretty hard. I think we

608
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: all can acknowledge that it's hard. These guys are moving

609
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: at warp speed. The plays happened so fast, so it's

610
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: it's difficult. But now with replay, they they're still consistently

611
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: getting them wrong. But the business of the NFL that

612
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: that just adds more intrigued. Think of it like a

613
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: television show. The referees are now a character. The players

614
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: are the main characters. The teams and the players, the

615
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: coaches now are massive, massive characters, and now the referees.

616
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: We start our rivern Forever Hockey League. We we know

617
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: all these guys names. Look look at the jobs that

618
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: are being created by ex officials. Now they're playing a

619
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: part in the television broadcast. They're all a big part

620
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: of the production that this thing that's this this cash

621
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: cow known as the National Football League. So does Drew

622
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: Goodell and some of his minions in the league office

623
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: really care that much if some someone screwed up a

624
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: holding call or a p I call. They cost someone

625
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: a game in mid October. I don't really think they do.

626
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: I think they somewhat cared about the past interference in

627
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: the New Orleans game just because that was the NFC

628
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: championship game. You know, when I say twenty million people

629
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: watch regular season, you get more like for million. My

630
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: numbers could be off a little bit, but you're talking,

631
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: it's the most watch product in America. And really there's

632
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: no close second right now to live events. Now, some

633
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: of these events on Netflix and HBO stream for sure.

634
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: I'm talking live events. The NFL just wants to get

635
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: you to the couch. What happens inside, you know, the

636
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: lines during it. The controversy actually is good for their business.

637
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: Now it sucks for me and you when we're gambling

638
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: on it. That's the human element of this, and I

639
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: I do believe they have to get better at MAB.

640
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: There shouldn't be anything wrong because I love it when

641
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: people say, well, it's just it's sports. There's gotta be

642
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: human element to it. Yeah, that was cool to say.

643
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: In the seventies we got a million cameras, we've got

644
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: slow mo. It's time to get it right. If we're

645
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: gonna allow people betting on it. The the amount of

646
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,959
Speaker 1: money these fans are paying a sit in the stadiums,

647
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: the amount health and I'm paying in you're paying. I

648
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: haven't cord cut yet because I'm so dependent on watching

649
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: these games. I can't afford to have my Internet go

650
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: down and not being able to stream. So yeah, I

651
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: don't love paying Comcast two dollars, you know, a month,

652
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: but it gives me a piece of mind that every

653
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: time I turn on my television, I'm gonna have access

654
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: to whatever I have need access to real time. So

655
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: I pay a little bit more for that, just that guarantee.

656
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: But the league, I've learned this and I've been on

657
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: the other side for years. This is just not okay.

658
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: They have to figure this out. I see it in baseball, like,

659
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: how are we letting humans called balls and strikes? I'm

660
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: watching playoff games where the balls and strikes are not

661
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: even close. It's egregious. And I'm pro humans. I don't.

662
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm not big on like, let the robots take out

663
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: humans jobs, but I'm good on the robo ump because

664
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 1: the human they got no shot. And one time, I'm

665
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: back in high school, I was an umpire in Little

666
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: League and these guys are throwing like fifty miles. Now,

667
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: it's difficult. When they're throwing fifty I can't imagine some

668
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: of these guys throwing a hundred miles an hour. So

669
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 1: this is just this is just something to the league's

670
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: and definitely the NFL kind of likes. It's just chaos.

671
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: It just gets us talking about it. But to think

672
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 1: that they're really have that much incentive to get it fixed,

673
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say that they don't. And

674
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: it's probably just gonna be a lot of what we've

675
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: witnessed the last several years, just consistent, crappy calls, weekend

676
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: week out determining these games. And I feel bad for

677
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: the players, the coaches, the gms that are involved, and

678
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: it sucks when your team's on the wrong end of it.

679
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: But don't don't expect anything to change anytime soon. I

680
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 1: I have probably in the media, definitely locally and maybe nationally,

681
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: been as harsh of a critic on John Gruden as

682
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: you'll find said he's been stealing money. Uh what he

683
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: did these last year and a half has been malpractice.

684
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: It's been pretty sad. But these last two weeks, I

685
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: gotta eat a little Crow, because I would say last weekend,

686
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 1: you or I guess if you're listening to this on Sunday,

687
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,399
Speaker 1: he had to be the most shocking game of the day,

688
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: not just because he won. Uh you know, they had

689
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 1: beat Indianapolis two weeks ago, which was really shocking, and

690
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: then he goes to London for the entire week. The

691
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: Bears roll in. Yeah, they got their backup quarterback, but

692
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 1: it's the way they won. They man handled the Chicago Bears.

693
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: I understand pushing around the Colts a little bit smaller team.

694
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: Uh they're they're They're a little bit of an overachieving bunch.

695
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: Even if you know, you go, well, the Cults are

696
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: better than the Raiders. And I say that they played

697
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: ten times, the Colts will probably win seven. But if

698
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: you told me the Bear and the Raiders played ten

699
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: times before the game, I'd say the Bears were winning nine.

700
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily I might move that number down to

701
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: like six or seven. But I gotta tip my hat

702
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 1: to Drooden in his team because they showed up and

703
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: they man handled the Chicago Bears, who I think have

704
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: the best defensive personnel in the league. Now their defense

705
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: isn't playing the best in the league. That's clearly the Patriots.

706
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: But they got they got shoved around, and Khalil Mack

707
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: was not very good. Roquan Smith was not very good.

708
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: They lost the Cheam Hicks early, but they were just

709
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: shoving those guys around and when they had to hit

710
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: big plays in the passing game, Derek did. Josh Jacobs

711
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,439
Speaker 1: looks like a combination of Chris Carson and Marshawn Lynch,

712
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: making guys miss, running through tackles. His body and balanced

713
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: control on contact is fantastic. He plays so fast, he

714
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: plays so violent. He was the best player on the field.

715
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 1: And for all we had talked about is Khalil Mack

716
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: had been traded and we've rehashed that a million times.

717
00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: I still would never trade Khalil Mack. But first term win,

718
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: that's a short term win because it's like we traded

719
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: Cleil back. We got two first round picks, one of

720
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: them was Josh Jacobs. We just kicked your ass with

721
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 1: this guy, and we'll get your first round pick again

722
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: next year. So that's somewhat I mean that that was

723
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: an eye open experience for the Chicago Bears, who I

724
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 1: think the Bears are good, but Chase Daniels was terrible.

725
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: He threw multiple picks, he got bailed out on one

726
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 1: because of a late hit. His pick to end the

727
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: game was an embarrassment. There down three points there at

728
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: the midfield, there's a minute left. You cannot turn over

729
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 1: the ball because at uh field goal sends you into overtime.

730
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: The one thing you cannot do is throw a pick.

731
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: And he didn't just throw a pick like you know,

732
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: it went through the wide receiver's hands. He wasn't on

733
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: the same page as wide receiver and hit one of

734
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,240
Speaker 1: the Raiders defensive backs in the in the bread basket.

735
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 1: But for the Raiders to just shove around a team

736
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: that I think we'd all call really physical. And I'm

737
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: getting a lot of people asking me are the Raiders good? Well,

738
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: find me a team in the NFL that's had better

739
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: back to back wins. Fin find me that team. Maybe

740
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: it's the Saints who beat Seattle then beat the Cowboys,

741
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: but back to back road wins inde Chicago and I

742
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,760
Speaker 1: get technically as a home game, but as Dick Stockton

743
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: said on the broadcast and Mark Shlaira, you know it's

744
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: supposed to be a Raiders home game, but they are

745
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: way more Bears fans here well, of course, because the Raiders,

746
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: because their own are so broken, has no pull, they

747
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: make them play all these international games. And the Raider

748
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: fans will always tell you we're the biggest brand in

749
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: the league, but it turns out every time they go

750
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: to these international games, the other teams have way more fans.

751
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 1: So you had a pretty big disadvantage. So I gotta

752
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: give the Raiders even more credit. They're basically playing home

753
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: game that's not just a road game because there's the

754
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: opposing fans are there, but it's on international waters and

755
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: to kick the crap out of the Bears, I think

756
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: the Raiders now they're on a buy. If they win

757
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:52,280
Speaker 1: one of these next two games at Green Bay at Houston,

758
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: I will say they can make the playoffs because I

759
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,760
Speaker 1: think when you look at the the a f C playoffs,

760
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: you go New England more than likely be the one seed.

761
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that just in concrete yet, that them

762
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: in the Chiefs are gonna battle all season long. You'll

763
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: think New England will drop a game or two eventually,

764
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: so those are one and two seeds in some order.

765
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,280
Speaker 1: Then whoever wins the a f C. South. I'd probably

766
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: lead in the Colts, but you could probably make an

767
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: argument for all four teams. Then the a f C.

768
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: North is gonna be between the Browns and the Ravens.

769
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: Whoever wins that will probably be, you know, the three

770
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: or four seed whatever ordered them. And this is the

771
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: South and the North. And then I think the Bills,

772
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: once all saidden downe are probably gonna win like eleven games.

773
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: Their defenses top nots, they're well coached, they're tough. We'll think,

774
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: who's who's gonna win the the fifth seat or excuse me,

775
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 1: the six wild I guess it's the second wild card,

776
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: but the sixth seat? You got? The charges are terrible? Uh,

777
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: the Jets, Dolphins stink, Steelers got awful. You know, whoever

778
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: kind of falls off, either the Ravens or the Browns

779
00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 1: nine wins might win that division. Why couldn't the Raiders

780
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: get to nine or ten wins and win that six seed?

781
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: I actually think again, I never would have said this

782
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: in a million years three weeks ago, but if they

783
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,800
Speaker 1: win one of these next two games, you'll hear me

784
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: say they can. They can get that spot. Now if

785
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: they if they get beat both these games, then all

786
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're three and four. You know you

787
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: still gotta play the Chiefs again. You gotta play the

788
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,800
Speaker 1: Charger twice. You gotta play Denver in Denver, who's a

789
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 1: good bad team. It could be a little more difficult

790
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: for sure, even like the Lions are pretty solid, like

791
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: their schedules not easy, But these next two games we

792
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: might have to start talking playoffs with Jon Gruden. And

793
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 1: then the it's over game yesterday, like it's just just

794
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: put a put a bow on it. It's done. Send

795
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: them home. I know Jay Gruden got fired, and Jay

796
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: has to feel just so relieved today. He doesn't have

797
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: to listen to Bruce Allen or Dan Snyder ever again.

798
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: They get to pay him for a little bit. It's

799
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: gotta be a good feeling. But Dan quinn, I I

800
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: read the stat over the summer, I think I had

801
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: read in Peter King's MMQB did he was the first

802
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: coach to replace all three coordinators since nineteen eight nine,

803
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: one of the biggest red flags I can remember going

804
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 1: in sports. Replaced all three coordinators for the first time

805
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: in thirty plus years. It's done. It's over. The Houston

806
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: Texans just put up fifty five points Deshaun Watson through

807
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 1: five touchdowns. Kicking myself. I would have loved to play

808
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: him in daily fantasy on my team, not against him,

809
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: which I did and I got beat. But like that

810
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,760
Speaker 1: that that can't happen. That their teams soft. It's terrible.

811
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan has been that they got sweet receivers. Ridley's

812
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: a stud Julios and studs and news of stud They've drafted,

813
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: you know, in theory pretty well over the last couple

814
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 1: of years, and they're just a poorly coached team. He's done.

815
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: He's dead man walking, and we should have known that

816
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 1: when he replaced all three coordinators. The chances of that working,

817
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: like five or six years into your tender to me,

818
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: seems slim. The nun like that's that's not gonna work.

819
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: That's gonna be impossible. It's kind of validated now. And

820
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: maybe I don't know much about him. I mean, I've

821
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: I've met him once really briefly. Seems like a good guy,

822
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think it's quite like a J

823
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 1: Gruden Redskins thing. He did get the team to the

824
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: super Bowl. I think they will treat him with respect.

825
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: But you keep getting blown out Like, at the end

826
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: of the day, you're judged on wins and losses and

827
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: also how your team looks. So if you're just getting

828
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: rolled and you're as kicked every week, I think you

829
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: could justify maybe firing him in December just to kind

830
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,919
Speaker 1: of get ahead start on the coaching search, because it's

831
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: pretty clear the Atlanta Falcons, you know, are about two

832
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: months away from starting their coaching search. Hell, I mean it,

833
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: if it keeps going like this, he might not make

834
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 1: it to like Thanksgiving and I'm not here, you know, campaign,

835
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: and people should lose their job. But I think this

836
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: would be justified if it keeps going like it's going. Okay,

837
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,959
Speaker 1: let's dive into the middle coff mail bag, and before

838
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: we get in, because some of these questions might be

839
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: I want to touch on two things. I'm I watched

840
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: a decent amount of this game. Christian McCaffrey. It's clear

841
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: he's one of the best players in the NFL right now,

842
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: including quarterbacks. I mean, he's literally carrying one of his

843
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: teams or carrying his team who is playing an undrafted

844
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: free agent at quarterback. He's unstoppable. There there's nothing that

845
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 1: he can't do, and there was a picture that Leonard

846
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: Fournette tweeted out yesterday. Like, when Leonard Fournette was drafted,

847
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: what did we all say, Well, he's a really big,

848
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 1: physical running back. When he thought Christian McCaffrey, you just

849
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: thought a smaller guy. Well just google, just go to

850
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 1: Leonard Leonard Fournett's Twitter page. They're like similar size. McCaffrey's

851
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: arms are massive, his ability to break tackles, his play

852
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: speed is incredible, his receiving ability. If you tell me

853
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: that the Carolina Panthers somehow win like eleven games after

854
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:54,479
Speaker 1: starting O and two and Cam's injured, he'd get my vote.

855
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm dead serious. And I thought Mahomes was like a lock,

856
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 1: starting to think maybe he's not a lock anymore. It's

857
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: now a three, you know, three person race, Russell Wilson,

858
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: Mahomes and McCaffrey and and I don't think it can

859
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: be overstated. McCaffrey's a baller, like an unstoppable ass kicker

860
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 1: who you know, he's getting the ball and it doesn't matter.

861
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 1: And then Gardner Minshew on the other side. I if

862
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:21,399
Speaker 1: he keeps playing like this is gonna be the rookie

863
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 1: of the year, you know, I Josh Jacob is gonna

864
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,919
Speaker 1: have an argument if the Raiders keep playing well. He's

865
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: but those two guys like Gardner Minshew is just a

866
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: high level NFL quarterback right now, like makes legitimate NFL throws.

867
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: Is not throwing for hollow yards like it's making big

868
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: time passes and big time spots against good teams. I

869
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:45,399
Speaker 1: I can't be anymore. Just like, Holy Molly, this guy

870
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: is good. I say that every time I watch him,

871
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: and I'm just naturally kind of rooting for him because

872
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: he's a fun story in his name and the mustache,

873
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: but for all the fluff, like you just take a

874
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: step back and just evaluate him in a vacuum as

875
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: a football player. He's good. If I was giving him

876
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: like a grade in the scouting system I was working

877
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: the league, he would get a very very good grade

878
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: from me. His pocket presence, his accuracy is just playmaking ability.

879
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: He's impossible not to like if you just like football.

880
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 1: He's a fun player to watch. Like that game well,

881
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: it was so fun about that game? Is I got

882
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: just two electrifying players. McCaffrey might be the most electrifying

883
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 1: running back him and Alvin Kamara in the league, And

884
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: then Gardner, who just just a playmaker? Man, just a playmaker.

885
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 1: What's your oddest opinion on Daniel Jones Danny Darts So far,

886
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: small sample size two regular season games, well, the actual

887
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: the third game was played. This is a little bit old.

888
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: I didn't watch that much of the Minnesota game. I

889
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: actually played like cousins and feeling and daily fantasy. I

890
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: thought they would kill him. Uh, you know, I think listen,

891
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 1: he was playing with what his fourth string running back.

892
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: They just got golden tape back. They cut a couple

893
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:55,760
Speaker 1: of wide receivers. It's clear his athletic ability. He's accurate,

894
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: but they're gonna be some growing pains and it's really

895
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,439
Speaker 1: impossible to judge him. So lines sucks. Sa Kwan's out

896
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: and their wide receivers aren't any good. I think we've

897
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: already seen enough to be like, there's definitely some stuff

898
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: to work with. He's definitely a high level smart guy.

899
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to do a better job moving forward

900
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 1: of surrounding him with players, you know, wide receivers. They

901
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 1: have a pass catching tight end, but they need a

902
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: couple of legitimate wide receivers. Go along with Sa Kuan

903
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 1: and invest in the offensive line. Yeah, I think that

904
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: is fair to say that you have a you know,

905
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: a potential quarterback of the future, a potential quarterback in

906
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: the future. I I go as far as to say that,

907
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 1: would I buy all the Daniel Jones stock? No, but

908
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: I do like the guy. What do you think is

909
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 1: wrong with the Falcons? They seem poison to make a

910
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: run at the playoffs this year based on talent ps.

911
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: I'm a Saints fan and loving their state of suck. Yeah,

912
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 1: I just like I talked about the coaches. I think

913
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 1: they have a soft culture. I think Matt Ryan's a

914
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 1: limited player if you don't have just an elite play caller.

915
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: I mean the one year that they went fifteen one

916
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: and went at the Super Bowl, Kyle Shannon was a

917
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 1: was a play color and he got to dominate. And

918
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: Julio is in the peak of his powers. Damante Freeman

919
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: was in the peak of his powers. They had a

920
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 1: lot of dudes making plays. The defense was solid, and

921
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 1: now the defense just sucks weekend week out. They gave

922
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 1: up way too many points. And dan Quinn, you just

923
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 1: sometimes coaches their tenure comes like after fifteen years, like

924
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: it happened to Andy Reid. And Philly. I think it's

925
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 1: kind of happening right now to Mike Tomlin, who's been

926
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: there what like twelve years. Sometimes it happens a guys

927
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 1: like six or seven years in and then what was

928
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 1: McCarthy like ten? You know, it happens to coaches at

929
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: different times where it's just like, this is not gonna

930
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 1: happen anymore. And I think we're at that point with

931
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 1: dan Quinn. Is he gonna get a head coaching job

932
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 1: next year? I doubt it. Now are you going to

933
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,320
Speaker 1: hire him to become your defensive coordinator? You go O.

934
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: Other defenses have sucked, so why would I hire him

935
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: to be my defensive coordinator? I think it's gonna be

936
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: a little more difficult for to get a job and

937
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:04,879
Speaker 1: people realize two part question here. Steelers in Florida State fan.

938
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:07,360
Speaker 1: I've been listening since day one and love your material.

939
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 1: I was wondering if you have ever considered spending some

940
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: time during your podcast to talk about fantasy football. Since

941
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 1: the Steeler's season is over, I have focused more on

942
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: fantasy football. I would love to hear your take on

943
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: certain players and team matchups. Yeah. I love playing daily fantasy.

944
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,879
Speaker 1: At one tip I have. Whenever you get a team,

945
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 1: especially a talented team against the New York Giants, play it. Also,

946
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 1: one thing I learned, if you get good wide receivers

947
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 1: against Tampa Bay, play them because they will like Michael Thomas,

948
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: who I stayed away from, and then boom. Also, you're

949
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: gonna take a quarterback play him against the Falcons because

950
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 1: those guys play well. So boom a little fantasy right there. Second,

951
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 1: how much longer do you give Willie Tagger to pass? Yeah?

952
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 1: I don't. I think he's terrible. It's not like he

953
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 1: inherited a bad squad from Jim Bo or bad recruitment classes.

954
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: What do you think of Florida State needs to do

955
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,879
Speaker 1: to write the ship? I just don't think Willie Tiger

956
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,800
Speaker 1: is very good. I think pure good, point blank in

957
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,399
Speaker 1: the story. I don't think he's a good enough coach

958
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 1: to be coaching in Florida State given that they want

959
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: to compete for ACC championships. I think they have no

960
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: chance to compete as long as Willie Taggers there. Guy,

961
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,479
Speaker 1: But I think you know dabbles on a completely different level.

962
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: And then you look at Miami as many das any good.

963
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 1: I don't one thing that dabbyl really benefits from and

964
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,280
Speaker 1: I'm not taking anything away from him. He's been fantastic.

965
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: I'm a dabble Sweeney guy. But look at the conference.

966
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 1: Florida State in Miami are a laughing stock. Virginia Tech

967
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: isn't even that good anymore. But you could argue that

968
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: Mac Brown now at North Carolina is the second best program.

969
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:39,359
Speaker 1: Just big picture program like that. That conference. It's kind

970
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: of a ship show right now. During the preseason, everyone

971
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: was saying that this would be Jamis Winston's last year

972
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 1: in Tampa with their newfound success on offense. Do you

973
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: think the Bucks will sign in this offseason or let

974
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 1: him walk. I think they signed him. Uh. I think

975
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 1: worst case, they franchise him, unless I guess there is

976
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 1: a chance that Bruce Arians does not like him. I

977
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 1: don't know that, and I'm not that that definitely is possible.

978
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: But if Bruce Arians and they go eight and eight,

979
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: nine and seven and Jamis has some of these moments,

980
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: I think Bruce will be like, let's just franchise this guy.

981
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: I'll keep working with him. Will be even better unless

982
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: he has some guy targeted that he wants or he

983
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: knows he can get a trade, I would expect James

984
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: to be their quarterback. If Mahomes wins back to back

985
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 1: m VPS and wins the Super Bowl, where would you

986
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 1: place him on the all time list? Is he top

987
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 1: ten too four after only playing three years? Yeah, it

988
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 1: would be too far. But I think he would immediately

989
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: have a two year run if he won back to

990
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 1: back m VPS and won the Super Bowl this year,

991
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: a little like Kurt Warrener, you know, like if his

992
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: career ended after the season in the Chiefs won the

993
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, it would be one of the great two

994
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 1: year runs we've ever seen him professional football, Like if

995
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: Brett Farve would have retired after nineteen seven when he

996
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 1: won MVP seven anyone, or maybe it was ninety eight, whatever,

997
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: My my dates might be off, but he went to

998
00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: two Super Bowls, won a Super Bowl, and won three

999
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 1: straight m EPs. You could argue he was a Hall

1000
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 1: of Famer at that moment at the end of that

1001
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:08,240
Speaker 1: third MVP season. Hall of famer. Right, So if Mahomes

1002
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: goes to the Super Bowl this year and he won

1003
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 1: an m v P and his first year starting loss

1004
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: of the Patriots was that they're losing. Yeah, they lost

1005
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:17,320
Speaker 1: an overtime. Then he beats the Patriots this year, and

1006
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: then he goes on and let's say beat like the

1007
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: Eagles are the Saints. Yeah, I mean to me, he's

1008
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer, and I you know, I don't

1009
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 1: know exactly where you place him, but I think you

1010
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 1: clearly start going this guy's gonna go down as one

1011
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 1: of the all type grades that that much would be.

1012
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:36,839
Speaker 1: You know, pretty obvious. Do you know something we don't

1013
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 1: about Sam Donald? It seems reckless to assume he was

1014
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: making out with chicks or to imply he could have

1015
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,800
Speaker 1: prevented mono when you can get it from a sneeze

1016
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: or sharing a drink with someone. Yes, it's called kissing

1017
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: disease because it's transferred via saliva, but there are lots

1018
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,399
Speaker 1: of ways that that can happen. Seems like it would

1019
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:53,720
Speaker 1: benefit you to do a little research or quick Google

1020
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 1: search before having hot takes about something you clearly know

1021
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 1: nothing about. Just my two cents, Well, let me hit

1022
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,280
Speaker 1: you up with this. In the history of the NFL,

1023
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: how many NFL quarterbacks have gotten mono? In my thirty

1024
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 1: five years and twenty plus of watching the NFL, I

1025
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: put it at zero. I don't remember the last time

1026
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 1: a quarterback got mono. So I got a single quarterback

1027
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 1: who's in New York. I think it's fair to assume

1028
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 1: he got it from making out? Could he have got

1029
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:22,359
Speaker 1: it from Sharon uh kleenex is with Levian Bell? Sure,

1030
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: but Leviion Bell didn't get it. Could he have got

1031
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 1: it with somehow sharing a drink with Adam Gaze? Sure?

1032
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 1: Adam Gayze doesn't have mono. Seems like he's the only

1033
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 1: guy with mono? So is he just sharing random drinks

1034
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: with dudes? He got mono? I think it's fair to

1035
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 1: assume the way he got mono? Could we Could I

1036
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 1: be wrong? Of course? Could he have prevented it? I'm

1037
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 1: not saying that. I'm not blaming. Of course he would

1038
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: have wanted to avoid it. But think that it's this

1039
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 1: is this is not hot takes. These are just I

1040
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 1: got opinions. So in my opinion, he got it from

1041
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 1: making out of the chick. Do I know that for

1042
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: a fact? Of course not. I wasn't there. Does anyone

1043
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 1: know that but him and the team now? But it's

1044
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: pretty clear that he hasn't come out against it and said, well,

1045
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 1: you know the reason I got This was because my

1046
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 1: my my mom brought my little cousin and I shared

1047
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 1: a Kleenex with her, and that's how I got it,

1048
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: because that would have been pretty easy. Well, they've been

1049
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 1: pretty mum on it. Why because I think it's pretty

1050
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 1: embarrassing the way he got it. I'm pro making out

1051
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 1: with chicks. But it's again back to what I originally said.

1052
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: In the history of following the NFL, I am yet

1053
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: to remember a quarterback, let alone a player getting Mono

1054
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:32,399
Speaker 1: mid season. So to act like, oh, be careful, don't

1055
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 1: cross the line and be too mean to Sam. I'm

1056
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 1: not being mean about Sam, but he got Mono and

1057
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 1: he cost his team big time because they suck and

1058
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 1: they got no chance without Sam Donald. Now, could he

1059
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:46,919
Speaker 1: have prevented it if he would have known he would

1060
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 1: have got mono making out with a chick or like

1061
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 1: you say, Sharon sliving from a drink. Yeah, he would have,

1062
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:55,800
Speaker 1: but he didn't, and he got Mono, and now his

1063
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 1: team is destined for a top five pick. Like that happened,

1064
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: I think much in society wait till we know all

1065
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 1: the facts. Now, I think some of the best in

1066
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: any business can take about fifty to sixty percent of

1067
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 1: the information and kind of come to a conclusion. That

1068
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're always right. I think Colin Powell used

1069
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 1: to say, to make a decision in the military, you

1070
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: need to have like six of the facts because you're

1071
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 1: never gonna have So I think I can I can

1072
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 1: take an educated guess on this one because it's kind

1073
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 1: of clear because he would have come out immediately against it,

1074
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 1: but he hasn't, and they've actually kind of laughed at it.

1075
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:31,320
Speaker 1: I'm laughing at it. I think it's kind of funny.

1076
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,360
Speaker 1: But you're the second person now that's DM me, like

1077
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 1: middle Cloth. I think it's kind of reckless to assume

1078
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:41,280
Speaker 1: he made out with chicks. Is it really? Are you serious?

1079
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 1: Because I don't think it is at all. I I

1080
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 1: think it's funny, but I also think it had major consequences.

1081
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 1: The Jets are in a world of suck right now

1082
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 1: because he hasn't been able to play, and the next

1083
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 1: time Brady gets it or Rogers gets it or something,

1084
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: then maybe we go, you know what quarterbacks get mono.

1085
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: But again, pretty sure he's the first one in my lifetime. Hell,

1086
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 1: i'd argue basketball or baseball. When's the last time a

1087
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 1: major athlete in pro sports, got mono, I'll hang up

1088
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 1: and listen. I just finished and listen to pod. You

1089
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: mentioned the Atlanta coaching staff situation could be shaken up

1090
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 1: if they lose this week. I'm gonna make a bold

1091
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 1: prediction and say Casey's Eric bi Enemy will be a

1092
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 1: strong candidate for the position next year. I like it.

1093
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:26,359
Speaker 1: I've heard from my people in Kansas City good things

1094
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: about Eric Bienemy. As we saw on Sunday Night Football,

1095
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 1: he was getting in Travis Kelsey's ass and then Kelsey

1096
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:35,360
Speaker 1: shoved him, and the enemy didn't back down. He's he

1097
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 1: I like that guy. I I think you can almost

1098
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,840
Speaker 1: put it in stone that Eric b Enemy will be

1099
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:45,720
Speaker 1: a head coach UH for some team in two thousand nineteen.

1100
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 1: Do you think Trabisky will hold the Bears from making

1101
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:50,279
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl run in the next year or two.

1102
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:53,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it's just Rabinsky. I think their quarterback

1103
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 1: situation right now is a debacle. The Bears have no

1104
00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: chance to win a Super Bowl right now with their

1105
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 1: quarter situation. Zilch nun nag, He's my guy. I love

1106
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 1: Khalil Maxim, favorite player in the in the NFL. Love

1107
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:14,240
Speaker 1: their defense. But with Traubinsky combined with with with Chase Danniels,

1108
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 1: that's that adds up to what like Kirk Cousins, it's

1109
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 1: just you got no shot none. The other day you

1110
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:22,800
Speaker 1: talked about how miserable the money and at Football product

1111
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 1: has become. I'm so impressed with how Fox has tried

1112
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 1: to re establish their sports coverage, but specifically with taking

1113
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 1: over the broadcasting Thursday night games. Do you think Fox

1114
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,800
Speaker 1: or maybe even NBC could potentially take money at Football

1115
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,799
Speaker 1: from ESPN? ESPN across the board is bad and now

1116
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:40,840
Speaker 1: is showing on Monday. At Football looks like a dying product.

1117
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 1: To me, I would agree. I think ESPN, like probably

1118
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,399
Speaker 1: anything in life, you know, you get to the top,

1119
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 1: you dominate for a while, it's hard to stay you know.

1120
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 1: It's actually I think most people I've I've never got

1121
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:54,840
Speaker 1: to the quote unquote top of anything. The hardest thing

1122
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 1: is just to get to the top, Like any successful

1123
00:56:57,239 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 1: business or hell, any super Bowl winning athlete, it's hard

1124
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,720
Speaker 1: to then sustain it and stay there because everyone's gunning

1125
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 1: for you, whether it's business, whether it's athletics, whatever it is.

1126
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 1: And I think ESPN had they had a couple of

1127
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:13,279
Speaker 1: things going for him. They were just so ahead of

1128
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:15,840
Speaker 1: their time, and too they didn't have competition for a

1129
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 1: long time. Well now Fox has kind of doubled down

1130
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 1: on it, and I think ESPN became so political and

1131
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 1: that's this is sports, this is in politics. Seeing that

1132
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 1: with the NBA they're kind of in some hot water

1133
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: right now. I don't know if it's necessarily Fox or NBC.

1134
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 1: I could see it like Amazon, like Netflix, like Facebook,

1135
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 1: something like that. Now the NFL is a little old

1136
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 1: school and they're they're very close with their partners, but

1137
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 1: I don't think they like ESPN and it shows with

1138
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 1: the games they give those guys. So the the broadcast

1139
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,960
Speaker 1: crew they're rolling out is a joke. And yeah, I

1140
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 1: would expect Monday Night Football whenever these new round of

1141
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 1: media deals come up to be on a different channel,

1142
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 1: for sure, one thousand percent. Appreciate everyone listening. Uh keep

Speaker 1: firing up in my d M so I'll answer your questions.

00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:08,600
