1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. Monday morning, everybody,

2
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: how are you. I hope you had a great weekend.

3
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: It's me Jason McIntyre on Straight Fire, September, our first

4
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: NFL Sunday of the season in the books. It was glorious.

5
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: I mean, so many places to start. I was thinking,

6
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: do we do the Cowboys rams? A lot of Cowboys

7
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: fans are ticked off about the late pass interference? Do

8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: we start with the Patriots? You know, Patriots? Hey, listen,

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: Cam Newton gotta win. Everybody's all excited and geeked. I

10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: have a really interesting Patriots take. I had some write

11
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: in votes for the l A Clippers choke job. But no,

12
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: I'm not starting with the NBA on an NFL Sunday.

13
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: We'll get to NBA much later. I've got to start

14
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: with what I thought was the biggest story, the biggest

15
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: game of the weekend, Saints Bucks. And you know, I

16
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,319
Speaker 1: thought this game would play out pretty much the way

17
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: it did. The Saints came out on top, and everybody

18
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: wants to killed Tom Brady. Oh he was terribly at

19
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: two interceptions. Tom Brady stock is so overvalued we should

20
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: start calling him Tesla Tom Brady so bad. Oh, he

21
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: was awful to pick six. Just take a deep breath, folks. Okay,

22
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: we're talking about a forty three year old quarterback with

23
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: no preseason, new team, new city, new receivers, new playbook,

24
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: new head coach. I gotta confess I didn't think Brady

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: was awful. Now was he great? No? Was he close

26
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: to very good? No? He looked better than Peyton Manning

27
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: when Peyton was terrible for the Broncos and was able

28
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: to do just enough and game manage them to a

29
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and the defense took it from there and

30
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,559
Speaker 1: shut down Cam and won a Super Bowl. I actually

31
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: think about I'm a Bucks fan. I've got three pretty

32
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: positive takeaways. Okay, we had Mike Evans, one of the

33
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: top seven receivers in the league, who was at maybe

34
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: he had one catch for two yards. And we're gonna

35
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: have Mike Evins healthy too. Okay, so let's let's relax

36
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: on the Mike Evans. We missed him badly. Okay, Godwin

37
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: had a good game, but we missed Mike Evans. Number two,

38
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: Brady actually was kind of good. At four point eight

39
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: yards per play is not excellent for for Brady in

40
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: the Bucks, but they had more first downs in the Saints,

41
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: higher yards per play, more total yards. Listen, tom Brady

42
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: actually outplayed Drew Brees. People are gonna want to hear that.

43
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: But Drew Brees was very bad. I mean, Drew Brees

44
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: looked shot. I know he's had problems late in the season,

45
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: but Drew Brees just started the last few seasons very good.

46
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: And many kind of peters out because all guys get tired,

47
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: and I thought Drew Brees looked quite bad. Uh. The

48
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: Saints really struggled to move the football. But the biggest takeaway,

49
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: the biggest plus for Tom Brady in the Bucks, is

50
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: how good that defense was. Are you kidding me? The

51
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: Saints couldn't move the football. They totally shut down Drew Brees.

52
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: Come Aura, Michael Thomas. I mean Michael Thomas, who led

53
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: the league in like every receiving category, was on a

54
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: milk carton Sunday. He couldn't get open. He could do nothing.

55
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: Mike Thomas, nothing, non factor because of the Tampa Bay

56
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: Buccaneers defense. Here's the real good news. If you're looking

57
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: big picture for us through the trees, you don't want

58
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: to get caught in the weeds. It's one week. A

59
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: lot of people are gonna overreact. The reality is when

60
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: you can hold Michael Thomas to three catches for seventeen yards.

61
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: Tom Brady had one bad interception to pick six was terrible. Okay.

62
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: The other interception, if you look at the replay on YouTube,

63
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: it looked like a miscommunication with Evans who kind of

64
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: turned and the past was either the wrong place or

65
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: Evans made the wrong move and you know, hey, listen,

66
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: it was an overthrow. It wasn't good. I'm not saying

67
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: Brady was great, but if you remove those two plays,

68
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: he was not terrible. I think there's a lot to build.

69
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: And remember this is Week one. Bucks defense excellent. You're playing,

70
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: you know, a top a top ten defense in New Orleans,

71
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: and you know you you really sputtered there in the

72
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: second half and lost. So I know everybody's gonna be

73
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: crushing Tom Brady today. Honestly, my takeaway wasn't that bad.

74
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: And guess what, you know, I love to value in

75
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: bargain hunt tomorrow, when Week one is totally done, in

76
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: the Monday night football games are over, you're gonna see

77
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: the gambling markets come out with the new futures and

78
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Bucks Super Bowl odds are gonna go

79
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: down a little bit to me, just like the Tesla

80
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: analogy earlier, this is a bye on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

81
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, when you start out against a very

82
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: tough team, it's only gonna get easier. I didn't think

83
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: Tom Brady Tampa tam I didn't think he was awful. Okay, Next,

84
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: I want to go to the Patriots Dolphins game, which

85
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: I was fascinated by because it was so damn ugly.

86
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: In the past, you know, Brady and Belichick, they would

87
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: get move in tempo, quick throws, a lot of excitement.

88
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: This was three yards in a cloud of dust. And

89
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: my big takeaway from the Patriots is and I've I've

90
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: talked about the theme of reinvention in my little slice

91
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: of the world. I was at a newspaper and then

92
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: I went to a magazine and I could see media

93
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: was changing. And that's when I started a sports blog

94
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: and I kind of reinvented myself as a blogger sold

95
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: the blog. But then you could see about like twenty fifteen,

96
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: social media was taking over and I could see, like, okay,

97
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: social media, it's got a bigger impact in blogs, and

98
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: social media is going nowhere, so maybe I start to diversify.

99
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: And that's when I made a move to radio, and

100
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: I was fortunate enough to get to TV, and now

101
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: you moved to a podcast. You've constantly got to reinvent yourself.

102
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: And the theme I like is the best one ever

103
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: is Madonna. Okay, she was an eighties pop star and

104
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: then she said, you know what, no, no, no no, I'm

105
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try movies. And then she goes and does

106
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: a Vida, which I remember seeing the theater with a

107
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: girlfriend at the time. And then Madonna goes and does

108
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: this Ray of Light album and she totally changes. It's like,

109
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: who is this person? She keeps reinventing herself and that's

110
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: how you have a law career of positive, lucrative, lengthy career.

111
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: Madonna's still relevant now. I Mean. The other one I

112
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: like is Bradley Cooper, who came out in movies and

113
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: he was frat guy. Okay, he was awesome and wedding crashers.

114
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: He's a jerk, He's party guy from the rob G

115
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: what's that one of those Vegas hangover? Okay, Bradley Cooper decides,

116
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm more than frat guy party guy.

117
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,239
Speaker 1: I want to go do you know the military movies?

118
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: And he pivots to that, and then he comes and

119
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: does A Star is born and Bradley Cooper. People are like, oh,

120
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: Bradley Cooper is reinventing himself and he's gonna have an awesome,

121
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: lengthy career. The New England Patriots are doing that. Remember

122
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: this is a franchise that had been Tom Brady and

123
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: they had Randy Moss, and they had the two tight

124
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: ends with Gronk and Aaron Hernandez, and they rode Corey

125
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,679
Speaker 1: Dillon the running back, and they had an awesome defense

126
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: back in the day. And Belichick constantly is reinventing the Patriots.

127
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: You know what I saw a team had two hundred

128
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: and seventeen rushing yards on a day when there wasn't

129
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure, Rob g you can fact check this.

130
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: I don't think there was a one yard rusher Sunday.

131
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray was at a hundred then had to take

132
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: a couple of knees and ended up under. But the

133
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: Patriots had two hundred seventeen rushing yards. Were in a

134
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: passing league, right that's all anybody wants to talk about.

135
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: And what does Cam Newton come out and do? And

136
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: he rushes fifteen times seventy five yards two touchdowns. Now,

137
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: I do want to caution you folks, Cam Newton is

138
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: not gonna hold up if he's carrying fifteen yards again,

139
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: that is unsustainable. It just it will not happen. So

140
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: they had a nice win. They held the balled dolphin

141
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: stink as I predicted. Uh, you know the clock is

142
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: ticking for Towah. But I was really impressed what I

143
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: saw from the Patriots, Belichick reinventing without Tom Brady. Then

144
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: let's get to the big Cowboys Rams Sunday night football game.

145
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: I was financially invested in the Rams. I actually had

146
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: a pretty good weekend with my picks. We'll get to

147
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: that later. Best bet was a flop, but it happens,

148
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: and I was on the Rams, So I'm probably not

149
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: the best guy to ask this. The o p I

150
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: on Michael Gallup. He beats Jalen Ramsey, he had him

151
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: beat and then he pushes off late uh and gets

152
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: the flag. It wiped out A big play would have

153
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: put the Cowboys in field goal range, and obviously Dak

154
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: could not complete the fourth down and the Cowboys lose

155
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: um quickly on that offensive pass interference. I mean, listen,

156
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a judgment called by the refs.

157
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: And I got screwed by one earlier with a j

158
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: Green in the end zone against the Chargers, and now

159
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: his I think was more an arm and a half

160
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: push off gallup was just one. But Jalen Ramsey sold

161
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: it the bigger picture with the Cowboys. My big takeaway

162
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: is number one, you lose Layton vander Esh, your great

163
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: linebacker to a broken collar bone. You lose lose your

164
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: tight end Blake Jarwin. Sounds like a serious injury, gonna

165
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: be a long term one. And Dak Prescott six second

166
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: half drives and they totaled three points. They failed in

167
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: the red zone. They could have kicked the field goal

168
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: to tie it. They went for seven failed, and I

169
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: gotta say, like, I know, Mike McCarthy is gonna get

170
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: beat up. This is what you want to watch today

171
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: is do people go after Mike McCarthy or do people

172
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: go after Dak Prescott. And for whatever reason, the media

173
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: has his soft spot for Dak. I didn't think he

174
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: was particularly great against what I thought would be a

175
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: soft Rams d um but you know, his offensive line

176
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: just could not stop Aaron donald Um. Ezekiel Elliott had

177
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: a strong game ninety yards and a touchdown. But I

178
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: still haven't seen it from Dak folks. But I'm not

179
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: selling the Cowboys because the schedule lightens up considerably. Again,

180
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: I don't want to overreact to the Cowboys opening loss.

181
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: The final game I want to touch on it's not

182
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: the Jets, Um. I don't know if I'm allowed to

183
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: talk about the Jets, but it was the quarterback that

184
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,599
Speaker 1: impressed me most, Aaron Rodgers. Holy cow, was he phenomenal?

185
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers not sa I mean the Vikings didn't touch him.

186
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: Dude was wearing a tuxedo in the pocket. Rogers throws

187
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: for three hundred sixty four yards four touchdowns. I mean

188
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers maybe the most impressive performance on Sunday.

189
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: They held the ball for forty one minutes. The Vikings

190
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: defense is so bad, and we told you about this

191
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: in the preview. I tried to tell you, guys, six

192
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: new defensive starters for the Vikings. Okay, no, Stefon Diggs.

193
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: Did you see this? Kirk Cousins had five pass attempts

194
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: in the first half. That's it. Five pass attempts in

195
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: the first half. The game was eight seven late first half,

196
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: and then the Packers get bing bang touchdown, touchdown, and

197
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: then nobody played defense on the fourth quarter. Packers rolled

198
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: um Green Bay Packers five two yards. I'm not saying

199
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: that they're gonna win the Super Bowl and not going overboard.

200
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: For me, the Vikings were of total and complete embarrassment.

201
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: I thought the Vikings were terrible defensively. I think there's

202
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: a lot more to come on that front. Let me quickly.

203
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: I just want to quickly buzz through the other games.

204
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: I do want to talk about the Philadelphia Eagles because

205
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: if you guys follow my picks on fox S boards,

206
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: you know I'm in that circle million dollar contest. I

207
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: really even went on Cowherd Show Friday and I really

208
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 1: hyped up the Washington football teams match up against the Eagles.

209
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: You know they're there. Offensive line is in shambles. Okay,

210
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: they had two starters down and now Lane Johnson was hurt,

211
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: so three starters down, okay, and listen, I I saw

212
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: all the comments about Carson Wednsteed to get rid of

213
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: the football quicker. Listen, the biggest crack in Philly isn't

214
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: the Liberty Bell, Okay, it is the Eagles offensive line.

215
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, this thing is a mash unit. The

216
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: Red Sorry, the Washington football team. Eight sacks they sat

217
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: the eight times. Chase Young, the rookie had one and

218
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: a half. You know, the Eagles actually led this game

219
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: seventeen nothing, and there was some mild panic on my part,

220
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: but it was early, and the Eagles choked that lead

221
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: away so fast I thought I was watching the Clippers. Honestly.

222
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: I mean it was seventeen nothing Eagles. Next thing, you know, boom,

223
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: Redskins seventeen and the Redskins win. I'm sorry, the Washington

224
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: football team wins by ten. Listen, I'm gonna accidentally slip

225
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: in the R word. Washington was by no means great.

226
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: It was more about that defensive front annihilating, just eviscerating

227
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles offensive line. It got destroyed. Now I'll quickly

228
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: talk about my Jets because when I talked to Cowherd

229
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday, we usually talk on Sundays about what we see,

230
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: and he said that the Jets looked like the worst

231
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: team he saw and they were not very good. Okay. Um,

232
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: somebody joked to me that the jets new sponsor should

233
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: be Chick fil A because they're closed on Sundays. They

234
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: do just don't show up. The Jets no show. They

235
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: were down twenty one nothing at the drop of a hat.

236
00:12:55,240 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: It was embarrassing. I was a little upset. Um. Jets

237
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: actually got lucky that Josh Allen fumbled twice. By the way,

238
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: Bill's fans are attacking me on Twitter that I was

239
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: killing Josh Allen. He had his first career three under

240
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: yard passing game. Meanwhile, it was dink and dunk city. Okay,

241
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: six point two yards per attempt. Like, come on, if

242
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: you watch that game, Josh Allen is sharpening his short

243
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: passes because we know he can't throw deep. And then

244
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: he overthrew a guy in the end zone. Listen. They

245
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: should have beat the Jets by thirty. The Bill should

246
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: have opened a can on them. But they were three

247
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 1: for eight in the red zone. Um, but this is

248
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 1: more about the Jets, Like they're gonna get crushed in

249
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: the New York papers today. It's gonna it's gonna be ugly. Um.

250
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: Adam Gazes relationship is so bad with the team. It's

251
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: like Will Smith thinks this marriage is on the rocks.

252
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: Will Smith, obviously you know his story and all the

253
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: memes that have flown around. But Adam gazes in some trouble, folks,

254
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: that's obvious. And the Jets do not look good. I'm

255
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: not going to talk about them having the worst the

256
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: worst record in the league in the first pick, but

257
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: that's kind of my quick buzz through. I do want

258
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: to give props to Kyler Murray. What a performance Gray

259
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: win outright against the Niners who need receivers badly. Um,

260
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: but I could go deep into every game and spend

261
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: an hour breaking it down. Um, rob g. Anything did

262
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: I missed big picture on NFL that you want to

263
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: challenge me on or perhaps you think the listeners would

264
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: be interested in that I might have missed. Well, there's

265
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: two things I think that you missed, one of them

266
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: being the most impressive win of the day was the

267
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders traveling west to east for a ten

268
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: am Pacific start time in a hostile road environment and

269
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: came away with the road wins. So you know, shout

270
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: out to the Raiders on that one. You're right, But

271
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: by the way. That was the game I watched. Least,

272
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: I haven't been able to do a deep dive. I

273
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: know Jacob's had a field day. Um, but yeah, nice

274
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: win for your Raiders, huh is Henry? Oh yeah that

275
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: was good. I mean I'm happy for it. Um No.

276
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: But you know what, in all seriousness, the thing that

277
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: I think that you're being a little too dismissive about

278
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: is in that Saints Bucks game you did about five

279
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: minutes on Tom Brady. Now you're not concerned at all.

280
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: I would be very concerned if I was a Bucks fan,

281
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: But even more importantly, I'd be very concerned if I

282
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: was a Saints fan, because I thought both of those

283
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: quarterbacks looked like two old, washed up guys Drew Brees

284
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: save for like a forty yard path. I believe it

285
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: was the Jared cooked down the left side line because

286
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: it was a busted coverage. Wasn't throwing anything beyond five yards.

287
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: There's a reason Michael Thomas was one of the duds

288
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: of the day and a lot of fantasy football circles

289
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: because he they weren't looking anything beyond six seven yards.

290
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Alvin Kamara said, my fantasy team because you

291
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: had those those two short touchdowns, but it wasn't because

292
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: you know, Drew Brees was threatening the defense in any

293
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: kind of way and Tom Brady, other than him being old,

294
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: which you know, he did look old. And I think

295
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: the biggest thing to me though, and I believe it

296
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: was Ben Volan from the I think he's at the

297
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: Boston Globe right pointed this out on Twitter. Tom Brady's

298
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: biggest problem went back to New England wasn't always the

299
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: talent around him, because we all know it wasn't the best.

300
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: It was that he never did a good job of

301
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: working in new receivers. He had his core group of

302
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: guys that he really liked. You know, it's usually a

303
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: guy who was about five ten five pounds light skinned

304
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: work in the middle of the field, usually what he liked.

305
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: And it's not like they didn't have talent. I mean

306
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: he had Chad Johnson didn't work over there for him.

307
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: He had Nikkill Harry of first round pick didn't work

308
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: out for him, Mohammed Sanu recently didn't work out for him.

309
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: It's because Tom Brady is comfortable with certain guys and

310
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: it takes him a while to trust new weapons and

311
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: new receivers, and you could tell, just like you referenced

312
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: on that interception he through. He did not look comfortable

313
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: with any of those guys. He looked like he was

314
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: in a new system. He had no offseason, he didn't

315
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: really have the uh the arm strength, which he never

316
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: really had a big arm to be in with. But

317
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: he looked old, and he looked uncomfortable. And if I'm

318
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: a Bucks fan and I'm have illusions of a Super Bowl,

319
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: I think you gotta pump the brakes a little bit.

320
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: I think all those people in Vegas are are saying,

321
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: you know, I know, we have a lot of liability

322
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: on this one. Go ahead and put more money on

323
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: the Bucks, because it's not happening for these interesting I

324
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: mean you listen, we have seen over reactions before. I

325
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: mean team, but plenty of teams that started oh on one,

326
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: oh and two and rebounded fine. Next up they host Carolina,

327
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: which just got shredded by your boy Derek carr And

328
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: and Jacobs. Okay, Tom Brady's gonna round into form pretty quickly.

329
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: Then he has to go to Denver. Then they play

330
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: the Chargers. By the way, the Chargers look terrible against

331
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: the Bengals. They got so lucky to win that game. Um,

332
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: this schedule softens up. Man. They then faced Chicago, Like

333
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm telling you they're gonna they might stumble on the

334
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: road in Denver. Let's see how Denver looks tonight. But

335
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: I can see people selling Brady all week and then

336
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: next thing, you know, you look up in the bucks

337
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: are four and one. Brady's completing and Ronald Jones, by

338
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: the way, USC guy looked pretty good running in football. Um,

339
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: Leonard four Nette look terrible. But again it's how do

340
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: you prevent yourself from making overreactions? In week one, Like,

341
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: you know, I entered that the winner of this gambling contest,

342
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 1: there's like three thousand people in it. The winner gets

343
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: like one point four million. And I'm sweating these games.

344
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: Folks like my kids are coming around and they're talking

345
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: and let's just you know, it was like Joe Burrow

346
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: had an unbelievably bad like shovel pass interception that let

347
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: the Chargers back in, and I just lose it, you know,

348
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 1: And I'm I'm sweating these games hardcore, and I try

349
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: to put at the end of the day pull back

350
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: so that I don't overreact, like, oh my gosh, Burrow

351
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: was terrible. Joe Burrow was kind of good. He was

352
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 1: all right. And if you if you have these irrational reactions,

353
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: they carry over to the next week. And I just

354
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: with no preseason, rob g I I don't want to

355
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: crush anybody, um at all. Again, this is the first

356
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: live action these guys have had since Geez for most

357
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 1: teams like December, you know, the playoff teams January, but

358
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: no preseason at all. I thought we saw some sloppy football,

359
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: especially in the fourth quarter. Um yeah, let's not overreact

360
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: to what we saw in Week one, all right, quickly.

361
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: I do want to go into Monday Night Football, and

362
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: just I kind of love the opening Monday Night Football tonight,

363
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: just because there's two games and you know they start early,

364
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: and obviously you know my afternoon is going to be

365
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: consumed out here l A watching both games. I actually,

366
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to talk too much about

367
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: Steelers Giants because hint, hint, we may be talking about

368
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: it in the best bet. But I think Titans Broncos

369
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: is fascinating because you know the Tennessee Titans, like when

370
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: you saw what happened in the Colts as eight point

371
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: favorites lose outright in Jacksonville. I mean, the Colts had

372
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 1: a monster day. If you listen to Friday's podcast, um

373
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: Adam and Off came on and made a case that

374
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: the Colts could destroy Jacksonville, like fifty to nothing, and

375
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: it was compelling, and I put some money on the

376
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: coals and they did not show up. Now, they didn't

377
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: show up with the win or the cover. But if

378
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: you look at the box score, they almost had two

379
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: times the amount of yards that Jacksonville did. They simply

380
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: imploded in the red zone, similar to the rams, Like

381
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: the red zone is massive. And I'll be digging into

382
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: these numbers obviously one week. You don't want to, you know,

383
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: read too much into them. But if Tennessee, which was

384
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 1: number one in the red zone in the second half

385
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: of the season under Tannehill, if they put a herding

386
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: on the Broncos tonight, there's a good chance I miss

387
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: read Tennessee and they're gonna roll in that division. We've

388
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: already seen the Texans soil themselves. We know the Jaguars.

389
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: Jaguars are nothing special. And for the Colts to lose,

390
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: if the Titans come out and bury the Broncos. Remember

391
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: no Von Miller. Um, I don't know if we're gonna

392
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: see Bradley Chubb. I don't know if we're gonna see

393
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton. A lot of injuries on Denver. That's a

394
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: big game, Uh for the Titans. They win that one,

395
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: and they could serve noticed that maybe they were a

396
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: team in the a f C that I had considered.

397
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: Oh we forgot about Lamar Jackson's Baltimore Ravens. How about them?

398
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: Pretty impressive destroying the Browns. But I also want to

399
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: save that for best bet, because the Browns or my

400
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: best bet. Just briefly on the Steelers. Um, the New

401
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: York Giants have been like the worst team in New York. Yes,

402
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: worse than the Bills and the Jets. For the last

403
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 1: couple of years. They've been fading fast. They were everybody

404
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: was so excited when they had Odell Beckham. The Giants

405
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: have a chance to get out of the basement if

406
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: they show up at MetLife tonight against the Steelers. Obviously,

407
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 1: these are two of the most storied franchises in league history. Uh,

408
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: no fans at the stadium. Obviously. The guy to watch

409
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: I think is Danny Dimes. We've seen quarterbacks crumble under pressure.

410
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: We know he has the fumble lightis uh, and the

411
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: Steelers have one of the best pass rushes in the league.

412
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: I really like the Steelers tonight. All right, So that

413
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: wraps up Sunday. That briefly takes us through the Monday

414
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: night football games. Now if we could pivot to the NBA.

415
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: The funniest thing about the NBA is nobody even knew

416
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: what time game six Clippers Nuggets was on Sunday. It's funny.

417
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: The NBA kind of wedged it in there, maybe to

418
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: keep it under the radar. I joked on Twitter that

419
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: the NBA wanted to bury the game, so when the

420
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: refs get gave it to the Clippers, uh, nobody would notice. Listen.

421
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: NBA about to try, but the Clippers didn't want it.

422
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, folks. I preface this by saying I

423
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: didn't watch a minute of the game. However, the beauty

424
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: of the Internet is you can go on YouTube within

425
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: like an hour or two hours after the game and

426
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: people have put like every highlight that matters on YouTube.

427
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: So I went after the football games, You're done, and

428
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: I watched the Nuggets go on a thirty to eight

429
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: run in the second half. I don't think you guys

430
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 1: understand just how bad of choke artists the Clippers are.

431
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: They led by nineteen in the third quarter and ended

432
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: up losing by double digits, Like how how does that

433
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 1: happen against the Nuggets? So you guys know, we had

434
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: Preston Johnson on last week, big gambler. He's been telling

435
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 1: me for weeks the Clippers are the team, the Clippers

436
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 1: are gonna win, the Clippers are better, They're deeper, blah

437
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: blah blah. And after Game five, I texted him like,

438
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: hold up, the Clippers now blew a fourth quarter lead

439
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: against the Nuggets, and they lost an entire game beginning

440
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: to end against the Nuggets. And you still think the

441
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: Clippers are the best. And he was starting a waiver

442
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: And now Game six happens. They have now blown two

443
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: big second half leads against the Denver Nuggets. I don't

444
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: understand if you if you guys are comprehending, Like nobody

445
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: thought this series could go seven. No, not even Denver

446
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: Nuggets players. I'm sure, come on, everybody thought the Lakers

447
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: had the toughest road. Oh, they've got to face the Blazers.

448
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: The Blazers are so hot. They just dispatched the Blazers

449
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 1: in five. Lakers have to face the Rockets. Man, the

450
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: Rockets are so dangerous, the three point variants. Lakers dispatched

451
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: the Rockets in five. Meanwhile, Clippers get to play the MAVs.

452
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: Luca had never been in the playoffs before, and they struggle.

453
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 1: They lose two games to the MAVs. And now they're

454
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 1: struggling against the Denver Nuggets that can't contain Yoki. I

455
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: mean this status, I don't even know. I don't know

456
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 1: how this is real. Gary Harris of the Nuggets, good player, right?

457
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: Sixteen points? Yeah, if he scored sixteen, the Clippers are

458
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 1: in trouble. That's more points then Patrick Beverlely, Zoo, Baz, Morris,

459
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: and Harold combined. Gary Harris outscored three Clippers starters and

460
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: the sixth Man of the Year combined, Montres Harrold. He's

461
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: starting to look a little unplayable against Yoka. She has

462
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: no clue how to defend the pick and roll, and

463
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: Yokis just owns them. Patrick Beverley, who who, by the way,

464
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: is his dog, I mean Brussard, My guy has been

465
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 1: telling me Patrick Beverley's a dog. Clippers got these dogs.

466
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: Patrick Beverley found out in eighteen minutes. He I mean ten,

467
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: it's left to the game, but he fouled out. Who

468
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: is this guy? Why are we giving so much credit

469
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: to Patrick Beverley? Okay, Rondo is a bigger dog than

470
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: Patrick Beverley. By the way, the coolest NBA moment of

471
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: the weekend ra Gen Rondo's brother talking trash to Russell

472
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: Westbrook on the foul line and Rondo's brother getting thrown

473
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: out of the stadium where the arena or the gym

474
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: or whatever they kicked him out for talking trash to Westbrook.

475
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: Of course Westbrook started it. But now I've gotten off

476
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: the off the Clippers. I just, I just I don't

477
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: know how we can take the Clippers that serious. This

478
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: isn't like one half or one blown game or even two.

479
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: They've lost three games to the Denver Nuggets, and I'm

480
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: not you know, we're not gonna go in deep yet.

481
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: I think on tomorrow's podcast will probably go a little

482
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: longer about Nuggets Game seven against the Clippers, but it's

483
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: a shock that it's here. The Lakers. By the way,

484
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: we'll get six days rest because I think I read

485
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: Game one will be Friday. Uh, Lakers Clippers or Lakers Nuggets. Um?

486
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: Then are by the way fun fact five and oh

487
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: this year when facing elimination, they were down three one

488
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: to the Jazz, and they were down three one to

489
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: the Clippers. I'm shocked this Clippers team is so if

490
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: they lose this game. By the way, oh boy, Paul,

491
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: I think Paul George is a fall guy. I saw

492
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: a bunch of Clippers fans during an NFL Sunday. I

493
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: saw a bunch of NBA stuff in my timeline, just

494
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: Paul George slander. He went over thirty points and they're like,

495
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: get him out of here. Oh my gosh, can we

496
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: get Jimmy Butler? Um? Speaking of um, Jimmy Butler and

497
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: the Heat play the Celtics in Game one Tuesday. We'll

498
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: preview that tomorrow. I want to like the Celtics here,

499
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: something's keeping me off it. We'll talk about it tomorrow.

500
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: And um, I don't think we're gonna do a post

501
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: mortem on the Rockets. Rob G called this after the

502
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: Lakers one. I think it was Game three. Rob G

503
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: was like Lakers in five and the Lakers I mean,

504
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,719
Speaker 1: Rob d any thoughts on the choking dogs. That are

505
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: the rockets that you want to talk about? Your boy

506
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: Harden Westbrook? What do you got? Poor went out from

507
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: my guy Russell Westbrook, who's only the only one who

508
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: actually had some fight in him in game five, that's

509
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: fine more than what James Harden. And James Harden had

510
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: the most empty thirty point game I've ever seen. He

511
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: looked like he had no interest in being there. He's like,

512
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: Daniel Howe is, where did you get that girl in

513
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: your room? Tell her to meet me afterwards because I'm

514
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: about to be out of here anyways. One of the

515
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: funniest tweets I saw Rob g was, you know, hardened

516
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: blocking lu dort shot in game seven. All that did

517
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: was ruined Daniel houses marriage. The funny. I could not

518
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: stop laughing Saturday. I was like, it was a waste

519
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: we got crushed in the series of Daniel houses marriage

520
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: is ruined. He's gonna be paying Aliboni for twenty years. Oh,

521
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: just devastating. But like Mike D'Antoni, the news Sunday that

522
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: he's not coming back, Like, I don't know where they go.

523
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 1: You know, they can't get out of Russell Westbrook's contract,

524
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: hundred forty two mill left on that bad boy. I

525
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: don't know. They're in a catch twenty two. The issue

526
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: with them is that they are built a certain way

527
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: to play a certain style, and none of the guys

528
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 1: that they have have as much value elsewhere in a

529
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: different system. The only guy and I was kind of

530
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 1: playing with the ESPN trade machine kind of figure out

531
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: where they could send somebody. I mean, unless you think

532
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: that Eric Gordon has some value that I'm not sure about,

533
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: maybe you can get him to Indiana because the rumor

534
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: is that Mike D'Antoni is gonna go to the Pacers

535
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 1: and coach that team. Maybe maybe you can get Miles

536
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 1: Turner for him, and you can have some legitimate big

537
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: man on your roster. But you're not trading Russell Westbrook's contract.

538
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: James Harden. You would look terrible if you traded him,

539
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: even if that is the smarter thing to do. In

540
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: the big picture, they're kind of stuck, and the funny

541
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: thing is the best guy for that team is Mike D'Antoni.

542
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: The problem is we just know how it ends. Interesting.

543
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: So Eric Gordon is an Indiana guy. I think he's

544
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: from Bloomington. He played for the Hoosiers. That's interesting, Gordon,

545
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: I does he fit with Oladipo and brogged in? But

546
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: then there's some chatter that Oladipo maybe looking elsewhere, Um, Miles,

547
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: Turner and Sabonis is kind of duplication for in Indiana.

548
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: That that's that's it. That's not bad, Rob g Uh,

549
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: that isn't terrible. I don't I don't hate that. Um So,

550
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: I guess we'll wrap up with this. We'll do much

551
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: no NBA tonight, first time in weeks there's no NBA games,

552
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: and then tomorrow's podcast will dive a little deeper. And uh,

553
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: quickly reminder, subscribe, rate and review. This is the week

554
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: we will be picking Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, we'll be

555
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: picking three five star reviews on iTunes. And don't you know,

556
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: I know people use their fake names or some funny

557
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: handle or whatever. You know, the best three reviews the

558
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: five stars. Obviously, I will then mow you one. And

559
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: by the way, my mom who texted me Jason, can

560
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: I get a hundred dollars? You're ineligible? Mom? Sorry if

561
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: you're listening, um, but we will will send it Wednesday, Thursday,

562
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: and Friday. Listen, it ain't it's it's a hundred dollars here. Um,

563
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: I think we'll probably do this once a month, though

564
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: once every two months quarterly. I don't know the reason

565
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: is because I'm crushing it on the gambling front. If

566
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,479
Speaker 1: you guys have seen my NBA picks, super hot, NFL

567
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: had a good opening weekend, so five star review, and

568
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: I'll ven mow you a hundred dollars to the best ones,

569
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: be witty, be funny, and Rob g will pick them.

570
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll I'll have a guest picker for one of

571
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: the haven't fully thought that through, but uh so that's

572
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: in play later in the week, and uh I gets

573
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: it's time for the best bet. The only thing better

574
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,959
Speaker 1: than sitting on your couch watching the game. He's making

575
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: money while he's do it. Here's your best bet. So

576
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,479
Speaker 1: the first NFL best bet was a flop. The brown

577
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: nose showed and I and I hate when I get

578
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: so excited about a best bet. And I talked about,

579
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: I talked about, I talk about and then it ops

580
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: because there was other games. I like the Cardinals hit.

581
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: I gave out the Cardinals an outright win on cow

582
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: hurt show and they deliver. I give out the Washington

583
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: Football Club outright winner on cow Hurt show. They hit

584
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,719
Speaker 1: and you know other bets that that hit in and

585
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: I gave out the Browns here and I look like

586
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: an idiot. So best bet now fourteen six and two

587
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: just a bad read by me. Listen, I'm not selling

588
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: the Browns, but they were quite bad. Um inept defensively,

589
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: had some injuries and could not really move the football.

590
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: This was over early in the third quarter. Let's just

591
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: never speak of this game again and move on. The

592
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: best bet for Monday Night, and I'm getting chalky with it.

593
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers favored by five and a half. I have

594
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: tried to ask myself why do I like this game

595
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: so much? And everything keeps coming back to Pittsburgh's better defensively,

596
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's better offensively, Pittsburgh has the better quarterback, They're better

597
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: in the trenches. I trust the Pittsburgh kick her more.

598
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: I can't find an advantage for the Giants. And that's

599
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: I guess the scary part, because there's it's quite possible

600
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: that I just I'm missing something. I don't know what

601
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: it is, but it's entirely possible that I am totally

602
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: missing something on the Steelers, but I feel like they

603
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: totally controlled this game. They should be able to run,

604
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: they should be able to pass unless Big Ben is

605
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: shot coming off the injury UM and Minka Fitzpatrick loses

606
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: his mind and the cornerbacks can't cover. The Giants do

607
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: have some good skill position players, but I've seen nothing

608
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: that I like about the New York Giants, and I

609
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: am going to take the Pittsburgh Steelers. I got five.
