00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 1: like the stephen A and him talking with Cam like,

101
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: that's been a pretty interesting deal. We've been like we

Speaker 1: we talk on the phone while we play, and so

103

107
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: get him. I can't close him out, and I make

108
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: a dumb mistake at the end. It's not good. So whatever,

109
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: where did you talk about it?

110
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,279

Speaker 3: The way he goes after steven A.

116
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: It's so good. It's so funny, man, it's funny. I mean.

117
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 3: Too, what do you call him a roach?

118
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,039

119
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: they got it in. Shouts out for Cam though. I mean,

120
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: I feel like when you do beefs, like like, man

121
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: up right, if you're going to if you're going to

122
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: beef with somebody, then get on air with him like

123
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: Cam Cam had beef with him. He got it. They

124
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: brought him on his show. I would love to see

125
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: steven A call Whitlock to task and pull him on

126
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: the show. It would never happen ever, that yeah, because

127
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: we all know why it would never happen.

128
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: That's that's not ever gonna happen.

129
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: That's not. Whitlock is a lot of things, but what

130
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: he's not is that he's not He's a super super

131
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: intelligent dude, bro, super intelligent. Like I know steven A.

132
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: I don't know steven A real well, but I you know,

133
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: I look at his work. I don't have nothing bad

134
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: to say. About him. But I don't think that would

135
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: go well. I just think that's why he does. He doesn't,

136
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: he won't face him.

137
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 3: There's I think there's a lot of quote unquote media

138
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 3: beefs that are just all garbage. They're manufact acture, they're

139
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: people trying to get you know, everybody fired up. Like

140
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 3: I don't you know the Pat McAfee dan Orlovsky stuff

141
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 3: that's going on, Like who the hell knows?

142
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: Like I loved it, Pat, but Pat just shoots from

143
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,679
Speaker 1: the hip. Yeah, he's just authentic. Like what he said

144
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: in that exchange, he meant it like dan Orlowsky, like

145
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: he's allowed to have his opinion and he's right.

146
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: But man, can I cut in here for a second

147
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 2: because I want to be very clear when I say this,

148
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 2: I do not care. I will gladly take a ten

149
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: dollars Fine, this is terrible to me, but I will

150
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 2: ask this is that Orlovsky McAfee thing just about the

151
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: ty Simpson comments? Is that what this is about? Yeah?

152
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 2: I don't. Here's the thing is, I don't pay attention

153
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 2: to beefs. I got way too many other things going

154
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 2: on my life to like pay attention to media beefs.

155
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: But I'll say this in defense of Dan Orlovsky. I'm

156
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 2: not saying that I think ty Simpson has proven to

157
00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 2: be a better quarterback than Fernanda Mendoza. I do think

158
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: it's closer than people think. I think Mendoz is the

159
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 2: top quarterback in this draft class and ty Simpson's probably

160
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 2: not as far off. Now, there's there's some issues there.

161
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 2: He's only played one year. In some of those big games,

162
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 2: you know, he didn't deliver quite as much. But also

163
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,479
Speaker 2: you know, if you look at the two teams, Alabama

164
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 2: didn't run the football half as well as Indiana did,

165
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: and so you know, ty Simson was put in a

166
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 2: position we had to carry that team. It's you know,

167
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: at moments. And also defensively, Bama wasn't the same defense

168
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: as that They weren't Nick Saban. So it's only one

169
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 2: year of starts and and you but you see some

170
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 2: big boy throws. You see some throws that ty Simpson

171
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: makes that you go, yeah, man, like I can see

172
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: how people would love his the tape that that, you know,

173
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 2: and what he put out there. So again, I still

174
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 2: think Fernanda Mendoz is the top quarterback in this draft class.

175
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: I just don't think it's as they're as far as

176
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 2: part and I could see if someone has watched Ty

177
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 2: Simpson's tape and like kind of becomes a little bit

178
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 2: of enamored with some of it because you just see

179
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 2: more NFL style throws with what they do. But again,

180
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: I don't. I mean it was the approach.

181
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: It was the seriously has to make who cares? I

182
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,599
Speaker 1: mean a lot of people care. Actually, I mean the

183
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: attention to a lot of you pay attention to a

184
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: lot of different things that a lot of people would

185
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: probably say the same thing.

186
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's probably true.

187
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: The first segment, that first segment. If I were like

188
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: you and I had to that first segment, I would have.

189
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 6: Did you see they were shocked or surprise to talk

190
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 6: about Tiger? Go ahead, I know, but hey, you know

191
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 6: it's radio.

192
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: No, Like.

193
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: You know, I already give myself a fine. I'm up

194
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 2: there for thirty.

195
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 3: That's but that's kind of what I was getting. That is,

196
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 3: I think a lot of the media beefs are manufactured

197
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 3: to generate conversations outside of it. I think the steven A.

198
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 3: Whitlock one is one authentic, authentic the Alasky uh pat

199
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 3: Man could be I think that's a product of there

200
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 3: aren't enough quarterbacks in the mix for first rounders. So

201
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: this is where this this You've got to start to

202
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 3: stir up the pod a little bit because there's been

203
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 3: all sorts of stuff about Tyson.

204
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: If you don't think that was authentic, Like the dude said,

205
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: I name a big game that Mendoza played in, Like,

206
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's like to me, like, come on, I

207
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 1: think it's good. You can have your opinion. I think

208
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: it's good for you.

209
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 3: I think it's good for me.

210
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 2: I thought he I thought he was saying, name a

211
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: big game that he played, big game that he played

212
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: well in. I thought that's what he said, not that

213
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: he played in.

214
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess however we interpret it. But still, I mean.

215
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 2: Well, there are two different things. I mean there's a

216
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: number of games where I feel like he played in

217
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 2: obviously big games, like that's not disputable. I think what

218
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 2: he's challenging is in some of the toughest teams they played,

219
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 2: he didn't play his best football. Like one of the

220
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: stats that argument, Yeah, one of the stats that was

221
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 2: going around that was kind of interesting is you know

222
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: how many times that Fernando Mendoza, for example, threw for

223
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 2: over three hundred yards in this final year, Like that's

224
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 2: become a point of people being like, oh, like do

225
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 2: you even know what that number is?

226
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: What I know is is that Fernando Mandoza has come

227
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 1: up big. He came up big for them in every

228
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: big moment that they needed him to come up big.

229
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: I just don't get lost in stats, Like if people

230
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: want to use stats as a way to judge a player,

231
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 1: I don't get lot like it's his impact. Fernando Mendoza

232
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: had the biggest impact on college football of any And

233
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: that's all I'm saying, Like we get know one's just

234
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: now big? Did he he came up big in games

235
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: that he didn't have large stat lines in.

236
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 2: That was to me, okay, but but you're kind of

237
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 2: you're kind of getting away from it because we're trying

238
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 2: to make this more about Like I'm just saying, like

239
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 2: this is this is one of the knocks that people

240
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: have been saying, like he threw for over three hundred

241
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 2: yards I think this past season once and so people

242
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 2: are trying to make a big deal about that, but

243
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 2: also they tend to forget, well, is he gonna throw

244
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 2: for over three hundred yards? Against Illinois when they beat

245
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 2: the absolute life out of them. I mean, first off,

246
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 2: like that's one of those that that was a big game,

247
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: Like Illinois was a top twenty five ranked team at

248
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 2: the time. There's still a good football team at the

249
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 2: end of the year when you look back at it,

250
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: and it was in a big moment in primetime everyone's watching,

251
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 2: and they beat the absolute life out of them. He

252
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 2: was twenty one for twenty three with five touchdowns and

253
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: perfect and so obviously he wasn't gonna play much or

254
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 2: throw much in the second half anyway. You know, go

255
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: to the Organ game. I mean, they beat the life

256
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 2: out of Organ, and he played phenomenal in that game.

257
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 2: Like I think he had three incompletions in that game.

258
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 2: He had more touchdown passes than in completions, and so

259
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 2: did he go for over three hundred yards? No, But

260
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 2: like did you watch the game, Like he didn't need to,

261
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 2: Like they beat the crap out of him. So I

262
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 2: just I think there's narratives that get thrown out there

263
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 2: and stats that get thrown out there. And we talked

264
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 2: about this earlier this week. Some of us the agents

265
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 2: just trying to take you know, a knock at them,

266
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 2: And I think that's what there's a concern of here

267
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 2: because of who Daniel Lovski is represented by and who

268
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: ty Simpson is represented by. And that is, to be

269
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 2: quite frank, like, it's always gonna be a conflict of

270
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 2: interest when you have an agency that's so big they

271
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 2: represent multiple people, even though they might have different agents,

272
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 2: they're all under the same umbrella, and they might bump

273
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 2: shoulders from time to time, and so you worry about

274
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: the legitimacy of all that and if it's truly objective

275
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: or if he's persuaded by stuff. So I understand what

276
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 2: you're saying, and I'm right there with you, Like I

277
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 2: feel like Fernanda Mendoza stepped up and some of the

278
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: biggest moments, like Pat mcaveee talked about kind of that

279
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 2: fourth quarter and some of the throws he made and

280
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 2: just how tough he played first one of the best defenses.

281
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 2: And I don't sit there and be the first to

282
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 2: tell you, like like, if you guys, for example, var

283
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 2: are playing you know the sailist rams back during the

284
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 2: Greatest Show on Turf, Like do you care that much

285
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 2: about stats in that game or just getting a win?

286
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 2: Because you know, they're going to score, right, like you

287
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 2: play Like when we played against USC back with Reggie

288
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 2: and Matt all that, Like we went into that game saying,

289
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 2: we just want to have the ball last because we

290
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 2: know if they have the ball ask, they're probably gonna

291
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 2: score because they're that damn good. Like that's that's how

292
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: you know games are. So it's like to your point,

293
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: like stats can get a little bit manipulated or you

294
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 2: need to be throw out the window sometimes. In this case, though,

295
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 2: I would just say this, like, yes, Mendoz is the

296
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 2: best in this class. I just I don't think the

297
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 2: margin between him and ty Simson. If you went out

298
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 2: and watched them both throw the football in a workout,

299
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 2: you'd be like, oh, he's that much better, right, Like

300
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 2: there's other years where you watch kids come in and

301
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: throw and you go, wow, like that guy's incredible.

302
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: You know.

303
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 2: It's just it's so again, people are gonna have different

304
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 2: opinions than all this. Obviously with Lofski has his opinion

305
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 2: on it, you know whether or not it's manipulated by CIA.

306
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 2: I mean only he really knows. But like at the

307
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: end of the day, like I could still see with

308
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: some of the film you'd say, like, all right, I

309
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 2: could see people having a favorable opinion. I don't know

310
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 2: how he sees them better than Fernando, but again that's

311
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: his take.

312
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: I don't even have a problem. But I don't even

313
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: have a problem with Orlovsky's idea and opinion of thinking

314
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: that Tie is better than than Fernando. I don't have

315
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: a problem with it. I just what I had, What

316
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: what I took a little bit of issue with is

317
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: you don't have to put him down. You don't have

318
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: to put Mendoza down to to build task Simpson up.

319
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: And I think that that's what Dan Orlovsky was was

320
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: guilty of. And it's in this scenario he did not

321
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: have to make it that way. That's all I'm saying,

322
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: Like to me that that's why I felt like you're asking,

323
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: all right, if if the beef was real between him,

324
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: like I could understand where where Pat McAfee was coming from.

325
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: That's that's a Mendoza stats whatever. We can look at

326
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: everything that that culminates what Mendoza was this year. I

327
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: think we would all agree that he exuded a level

328
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: of leadership, a level of humility, a level of greatness

329
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: that was the catalyst for what that team would would become,

330
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: which is national national chances. That's a I don't again,

331
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: I don't think he needed to do anything to take

332
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: anything away from from that is what that That was

333
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: my point and that's why I thought it was. It

334
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: was legit. The exchange between them was legit because it

335
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,239
Speaker 1: was like he was downplaying. He was downplaying it in

336
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: that sense, what for Fernando Mendoza's impact on these games were.

337
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: That's that and that's my take on it. And I

338
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: think that's why I thought it was interesting.

339
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: Okay, when when you have like teams that are great,

340
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 2: right like they were undefeated rand the table, I mean,

341
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 2: beat the crap out of some really good teams. You know,

342
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 2: a lot of NFL evaluators find it hard because they're like, oh,

343
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 2: I want to see what he did when they're trailing.

344
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 2: I want to see what he did, you know, when

345
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 2: they're coming back, because the truth is he's gonna get

346
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 2: drafted with the Raiders, and in the Raiders obviously have

347
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 2: not been a good football team, and he's going to

348
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 2: be expected to, you know, bring them to the level

349
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 2: of what he was doing in Indiana and helped and

350
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 2: around the Raiders, much like he turned around Indiana, or

351
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 2: I should say at least was part of you know,

352
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 2: them winning a national championship, turning a round. Obviously they

353
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: were the year before they were you know, they were days.

354
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 2: But well, look he could be he could be a

355
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,719
Speaker 2: part of it. You know, they need more pieces. But

356
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 2: what's interesting is, you know he only threw about forty

357
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 2: nine fifty attempts I think with trailing this year losing.

358
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 2: But if you if you go break down, because I

359
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 2: obviously do, I mean, I geek out, I do like

360
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 2: different cutups, different things, and because everyone I knew people

361
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 2: were going to bring this up and try to knock it.

362
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 2: And if you go watch that tape, just every attempt

363
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 2: that he made while they were trailing this past year,

364
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 2: you'll sit there and say, like, yeah, that's the first

365
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 2: overall pick like he like he was. He was lights

366
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 2: out in the moments when they needed him to be

367
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 2: the most and it wasn't very often, but he was.

368
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 2: He was phenomenal this year during that time.

369
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I also think that you had him did we

370
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 3: had them?

371
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: Did the rights in state coup Ky's man beat.

372
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 3: Us Orlowski's probably sensitive because he knows that there is

373
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 3: that narrative around, you know, if he's influenced by his

374
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 3: take on it, and so anytime, you know, if somebody

375
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 3: goes there with him, he probably feels really defensive about it.

376
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 3: And it sounded like he got defensive. I also think this,

377
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 3: all of this is a is a decent conversation for

378
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 3: the draft coming up. If one guy gets drafted to

379
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 3: a bucket of vomit and the other guy doesn't, who's

380
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 3: going to be the better quarterback and have the better

381
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 3: career Probably the guy who's in a better situation. And

382
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 3: so like all of this is kind of a movie.

383
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: Chances are it's it's I guess, listen, I don't see

384
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: any quarterback, not even I don't see any quarterback changing

385
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: what what the Raiders have going on?

386
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 3: Right, And that that's why if you look at it,

387
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 3: if that's set, I want to say, if Mendoza goes

388
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 3: to the Raiders, which everybody agrees he's going to go

389
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 3: to the Raiders, and then all of a sudden, Ty

390
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 3: Simpson is drafted at what twenty one two to this

391
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 3: Steelers is the air apparent to Aaron Rodgers, I'd way

392
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 3: mad rather have that situation than the one that than

393
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 3: that Fernando Mendez is going into so at the end

394
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 3: of it.

395
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: No, that one's a little foggy too.

396
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 3: I mean, I'll take my chances in Pittsburgh over over

397
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 3: Las Vegas.

398
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 2: Sorry, but hey.

399
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: He may Orlovsky may get the last laugh in the conversation.

400
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 1: But is it because Ty Simpson is going to be

401
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: this amazing quarterback at the next level in Fernando Mandoza,

402
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: isn't I don't know. I just don't. I don't know.

403
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: There's plenty more former players sitting on the couch that

404
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 1: I sit on than on the couch that Tom Brady

405
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: sits on. Like, it's just it's just not you know,

406
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: by the stats of players who have success that that

407
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: go into certain situations, it's just it's a high it's

408
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: a high number of guys that don't prove out. And

409
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: also just it's a higher number. It's just you're in more.

410
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,959
Speaker 1: That's just that's the situation you're in.

411
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 3: And also if you go back to look, whatever happens initially,

412
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 3: that's cool, what about the long term, Because there was

413
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 3: a long time where people thought, man, boy, did the

414
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 3: Rams really screw up that Jared GoF pick with Carson

415
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 3: Wentz sitting there at number two, and upon further review,

416
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 3: who's had the better career by a mile, not even close.

417
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 3: So just because initially maybe it doesn't look good doesn't

418
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 3: mean long term one guy is not going to be

419
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 3: better than the other. Just I think a lot of

420
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 3: this stuff is, you know, they've got to stir it up.

421
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 3: There's two quarterbacks at the top, and everybody else is

422
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 3: left behind, and you know those guys got a little

423
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 3: little in their feelings.

424
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 2: But Lavarre's point to me is the biggest. It's like,

425
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 2: it is weird that this time of year we have

426
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 2: to have guys who are broken down or talked about negatively.

427
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 2: It's like they both had moments they played really well,

428
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 2: like highlight that how like what they do well. Let

429
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 2: the NFL teams be the ones that take shots of

430
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 2: what they can or cannot do, or what they speculate

431
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 2: that they cannot do, like we haven't seen them there yet.

432
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 2: So that to that point, like, that's what I've never

433
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 2: understood about this process, and it's why that I think

434
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 2: it's always manipulated by the agents, because they're the ones

435
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 2: that do try to lower someone else or put out reports,

436
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 2: whether it's injury related or stuff off the field, or

437
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 2: things they hear from different you know, scouts, whatever else,

438
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 2: and they feed it to people who have to be

439
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,239
Speaker 2: able to gain be a part of this twenty four

440
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 2: to seven news cycle or they're always coming up with

441
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 2: something and that's where this all starts, and it's kind

442
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 2: of manipulated by it. It's always the agents.

443
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,480

481
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco's got a bit of a red ass. He

482
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 3: signed a one year deal to return to the Bengals

483
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 3: six million dollar deal. Reportedly, with incentives, it could get

484
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 3: up to nine million dollars, assuming that would be playing

485
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 3: time included with Joe Burrows the starter. That's always up

486
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 3: in the air, so maybe he gets to that full

487
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 3: nine million. But nonetheless, Joe Flacco is back. He is approaching,

488
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 3: i believe, his nineteenth season in the NFL, and he

489
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 3: had this to say at the press conference yesterday.

490
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 8: I feel like I have unfinished business as part of

491
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 8: why I'm still here and playing and doing all those

492
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 8: things and not being one of those guys to go

493
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 8: sign somewhere. Yeah, it pisses me off a little bit.

494
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 8: I feel like I can help a team win, and yeah,

495
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 8: maybe in a different role here, but I do still

496
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 8: think I can help this team win in that role.

497
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 8: I had a lot of fun with Joe, and Joe's

498
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 8: the guy, and believe me, I wish I was a

499
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 8: guy somewhere, and I think teams are dumb for not

500
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 8: having me be that guy. But it is what it is,

501
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 8: and I'm not gonna let me. I'm not going to

502
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 8: let them or it get me down. I'm going to

503
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 8: be the person I am and just approach football the

504
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 8: way I always have.

505
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 3: So is this agism? Did he just not get an

506
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 3: opportunity because.

507
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 2: He This is what I love is the headline reads

508
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 2: a lot more vicious than the sound bite, and it's

509
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 2: it's why we tend to lose sight of you know,

510
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 2: how much tone reread through text like did that really

511
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: sound like he was as fired up about it or

512
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 2: everything else compared to headlines of what people have written.

513
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 3: No.

514
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 2: No, So it's like, all right, I mean I think

515
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 2: he understands. Why is that where he's at. There's no

516
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 2: doubt it has to do with his age. Some people

517
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 2: might take issue with with how he's played, but he's

518
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 2: also been putting some pretty tough spots, and he's bounced

519
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 2: around from team to team. I mean, hell, he's in,

520
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 2: you know, with Cincinnati and Cleveland last year, so he's

521
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 2: kind of coming in to help out, trying to learn

522
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 2: a new system on a whim, Like that's really really

523
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 2: hard to do. So look, his mindset is exactly what

524
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: it still needs to be is that when he goes

525
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 2: in there, he's going to have a chance for opportune

526
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 2: to win games. And that's the only way he can

527
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 2: think and look, he the only weak can change the

528
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 2: perception about him is winning some football games. But even then,

529
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 2: what is he forty one years old? Now? I mean, yeah,

530
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 2: you know, at this age, it's going to be hard

531
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 2: to convince people to want to make a long term

532
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 2: investment like in you or have you be their guy,

533
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 2: Like even if you were the guy to start the

534
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 2: season somewhere else. So let's say the New York Jets,

535
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 2: for example, if that was the destination, you you realize

536
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 2: they're probably going to draft someone, right, I mean at least,

537
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 2: if not this year, next year. So it's just where

538
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 2: you go at this stage, you're going to be looked

539
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 2: at as a guy who's even just a placeholder, even

540
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 2: if you all the starter for a period of time.

541
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: I think that I tend to agree with that.

542
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 2: Go oh, I was.

543
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 3: Gonna say I think that Flaccos at a point to where,

544
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 3: because I watched him play last year and I'll ask you, guys, this,

545
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 3: does he look that much different from when he first

546
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 3: came into the league. Like it, I don't. He ran.

547
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 5: He ran.

548
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: He ran when he first got in the league, more

549
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 2: than you think, as far as the attempts and stuff

550
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 2: per game. And then they moved him more to throw,

551
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 2: you know, more than he has Like I know, it's

552
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 2: not it doesn't look like a ton, but he did

553
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 2: used to move a little bit better and more so

554
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,239
Speaker 2: than you think. I mean, I understand where you're saying though,

555
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 2: or where you're going.

556
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 3: He can, but he still slings at the same he

557
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 3: steps into as you mentioned, bad situations and plays really

558
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 3: really well. And I look at it and I go,

559
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 3: I can understand why the guy's frustrated because he's looking

560
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 3: at other quarterbacks getting an opportunity, thinking, and wait, what

561
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 3: you made to tell me? I couldn't go in and

562
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 3: beat out Michael Pennix junior or to a tugob I

563
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 3: Loa at this point in their career for a job.

564
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 3: I probably could. Kevin Stevanski knows that. That's why I

565
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 3: looked at Atlanta and said, hey, maybe that's a landing spot.

566
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 3: But I wonder if he finds himself in a situation where, hey, man,

567
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 3: his ceiling is still really high He's through for almost

568
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 3: five hundred yards against the Bears last year. Like his

569
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 3: ceiling's really high. Maybe it's too high that you know,

570
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 3: maybe we'll let him just go back to Cincinnati and

571
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 3: sit on the bench, because if we win too many games,

572
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 3: we're going to be on the outside looking at one

573
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 3: of these top quarterbacks in the draft next year. Oh God,

574
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 3: he's too I think he's too a little too good

575
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 3: still at forty one years old.

576
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: I think Brady has the best point in the situation.

577
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: Is he's just too He's too old to attach your

578
00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: wagons two for an extended amount of time, and that

579
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: is going to outweigh all the pros that are connected

580
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: to having him on your team. Is he a short

581
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: term Can he be a short term solution for success? Absolutely?

582
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: But when you bring in a guy like Joe Flacco,

583
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: I mean you're trying to either win immediately right now

584
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: in the initial and you'll take that opportunity and you'll

585
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: take that chance, just like an example would be Philip

586
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: Rivers being brought in by the Colts, or you have

587
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: him there to be an extra set of eyes, an

588
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: on field coach, a mentor to the other guys that

589
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: are in in the meeting room. And I know we've

590
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: gotten into the conversations of how overstated and how overblown

591
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: that is, but it is valuable even if a guy

592
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: doesn't want to proactively help you develop as a pro

593
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: having a in the locker room, having a pro in

594
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: the meeting rooms, and you getting the opportunity to observe,

595
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: Like if I'm a coach, I'm telling you he may

596
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: not want to work with you to help you be better,

597
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean you can't watch what he does,

598
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: log the questions that he asked. You know, if you

599
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: get an opportunity, ask what he put in his notebook?

600
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: Can I see your notes? Compare what you have going on?

601
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: That's how you improve. And I think that those are

602
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: the value props that come with a guy with the

603
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: type of experience that Joe Flacco has, But they're not

604
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: looking at him to be the guy. Those days are gone.

605
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: I don't I would safely say, I do not think

606
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: that Joe Flacco will ever be brought in and be

607
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: viewed and looked at as you are the guy for

608
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: this job. I think that ship has sailed.

609
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 3: Hell of a career though man not a Hall of fame,

610
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 3: but it's still going. Damn good career, Yeah, still going.

611
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 2: And a great dude, by the way, I mean, anyone

612
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 2: who's been around him, he's he You could see why

613
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 2: the locker room probably you know, accepted him and took

614
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 2: himend the way they did. And then clearly he understands too,

615
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 2: like the culture and the place he wants to be around.

616
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 2: And by the way, if you see him out at

617
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 2: a bar eating a steak, you know, having a nice

618
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 2: meal by himself, don't bother him, all right, just let him,

619
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 2: let him get some peace and quiet and let him

620
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 2: have a nice meal to himself. Okay, that's all the

621
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 2: guy wants.

622
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fair. Yeah, like just trying to get away.

623
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 2: If you guys remember talking about this, but that guy's

624
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 2: got him made, man. So if you see Joe out

625
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 2: there at the bar there and since nat I don't

626
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 2: probably be a Jeff Rubies or somewhere, but if you

627
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 2: see him down there, just let him enjoy his meal,

628
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 2: all right, piece and quiet.

629
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, nothing better than what Jeff Rubies. Yeah, man, good

630
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 3: Andy Furman always bloviated about Jeff.

631
00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 2: Ruby is incredible. Yeah, incredible. Buddies with Johns, We're gonna.

Speaker 1: Get you out vibe. It's a good vibe at that

633
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: spot too.

634
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 3: Well, let's go to the derby man that all those

635
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:10,239
Speaker 3: horses have Ruby Steakhouse. Yeah, signs on their on their

636
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 3: ass when the runner back.

637
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 2: That's where I did.

638
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 3: It, on their flanks where I did it in Kentucky

639
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 3: flank's ass, same thing. Huh. By the way, Joe Flacco, Yeah,

640
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 3: a little over forty eight thousand career passing yards put

641
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 3: some fourteenth all time, So damn good career, top top twenty.

642
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: He's got a Super Bowl.

643
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, top twenty passing touchdowns and last year was his

644
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 3: first Pro Bowl. If you want to consider that a

645
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 3: Pro Bowl, that's wild, ye. But I mean he played,

646
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 3: you know, in an era with you know, Roethlisberger and

647
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 3: Brady and Peyton Manning, so he was always.

648
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 2: Kind of I still think. I mean, super MVP obviously

649
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 2: is up there. But the five games he started for Cleveland,

650
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 2: taking him in the playoffs back in twenty twenty three,

651
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 2: that was still some of the most fun. It had

652
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 2: to have been part of the highlight when he looks

653
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 2: back in his career just how much fun that was.

654
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 2: I mean, he was absolutely slinging it too. I mean,

655
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 2: I think he averaged over three yards a game. It

656
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 2: was absurd how well he played in that stint and

657
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 2: just like the fact they needed him to and he

658
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 2: stepped up and also just hadn't played for Baltimore for

659
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 2: all those years. It's just that was a cool story.

660
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 2: Like that was one of the more fun years, one

661
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 2: of the more things I'll remember the most about his

662
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 2: career again outside of Super Bowl MVP and obviously him

663
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 2: you know, playing for a long time in Baltimore, But

664
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 2: that was that was that was a cool year.

665
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 3: Also when he was when he won the game in Denver,

666
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 3: the playoff game, great game. That was when the Broncos

667
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 3: were at their heights, when they had Manning and all

668
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 3: those great weapons, and the Ravens went on that run

669
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 3: and Flacco went in and outdueled Peyton Manning in that

670
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 3: game at mile high and he threw who was the

671
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 3: receiver he threw?

672
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:58,719
Speaker 2: Was it Jacoby Jones?

673
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 3: It might have been Jacoby Jacobajo in that game.

674
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 2: Raheem Moore was a safety. Probably misplayed that. Yeah, unbelievable.

675
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 3: So Joe Flacco's back man, and he's back in Cincinnati,

740
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 3: it should be the Express pros Pro the Week and

742
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,959

750
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 3: I mean I I scour to see who's really earned it.

751
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 3: You know, some people want to get caught up in

752
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 3: the stats and Knicks won it. The Knicks won it, Yeah,

753

Speaker 1: or something like that. It's been a little bit. The

756
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: Knicks won it.

757
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 3: Last congratulations of the Knicks. That circus tent could use

758
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 3: a couple of banners has been a while.

759
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: Good for the Knicks.

760
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 3: That's awesome. I would say this, Yeah, you know, I

761
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 3: kind of scowur and look through to see you your thing.

762
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 2: I feel like you're being bashful about it, like this

763
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,399
Speaker 2: is your deal. It's it's a big deal. You You

764
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 2: pick a pro could be in any sport. We've got

765
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 2: competing sports sometimes and you announced them. It's a it's

766
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 2: a cool.

767
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 3: Thing because Jonas Knox is not about me. I'm about

768
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 3: the team. And so I think that that's evident with

769
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 3: the way that the show operates.

770
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: That's ten dollars. If you got away, get Brady, let

771
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: you get away earlier. All I'm gonna say is, if

772
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: that's not ten dollars, I quit your damn the phone.

773
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:40,319
