Speaker 1: straight fire fan Happy New Year? It's me Jason McIntyre,

Speaker 1: straight Fire for Monday, January three, two thousand and twenty two.

4
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: I hope everybody had a safe, wonderful New Year. You

5
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: guys are refreshed from the Christmas break. I assume many

6
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: of you have your kids going back to school today. UM.

7
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: I had a pretty darn good break. It kind of

8
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: ended on a sour note yesterday, and not just because

9
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: I lost in the Fantasy Football Championship. But we'll get

10
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: to that in a minute. I do want to say

11
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: I know some of you are excited about college football.

12
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: I had an amazing, perfect college football playoff. I mean,

13
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: the betting was incredible. Other than Cincinnati money line, which

14
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: was pizza money shot in the dark long shot, it

15
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: was an absolutely, absolutely cleaned up. But this is an

16
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: NFL Monday, so we gotta save the college football for

17
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: the end, assuming we don't go way long, because there's

18
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: a lot to chew on in the NFL. I do

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: want to start. I'm not totally a New Year's resolution guy.

20
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: I used to be where I would write the stuff

21
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: down and I would try to addhere to it. But

22
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: then I was just like, what do I writing. I

23
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: just put a note on my phone about this, and

24
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: you know, um, and then you know, you get married,

25
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: you have kids, and you just kind of moved past

26
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: that and you just every day you just try to

27
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,559
Speaker 1: be better. You forget about the year. You just gotta

28
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: get through every day. Um. But I I'll say this, Usually,

29
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: you know, the wife takes the kids east to see

30
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: her family. I always play the you know, I gotta work,

31
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: I gotta fill in on Undisputed Dual and the radio show.

32
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: And well I dumped the radio show, as you guys know,

33
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: and I'm just took no days off. Uh you know

34
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: it went and did the herd, so I had to

35
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: come back early. But basically like yeah, I flew east

36
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: for about seventy two hours. I saw a bunch of

37
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: family members that I haven't seen in pretty much six years,

38
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: and then I flew back quickly. A couple saw a

39
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: couple of bad movies on the airplane. I won't bore

40
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: you with those tails. But as before I get to

41
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: the NFL, as you guys know, I think I've mentioned

42
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: this multiple times, but Rob G doesn't know what I'm

43
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: about to say, but Rob, I think I've brought up

44
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: a couple of times that we're interested in getting a dog. Okay,

45
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: that's definitely a top priority for the McEntire family. So

46
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: you know, my wife's been all over this, and um,

47
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: we've started the process of adopting a dog. We want

48
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: a Golden Retriever. Um, and my wife has been like

49
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: relentlessly checking the website and multiple websites for when dogs

50
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: pop up. So she finds while she's in Jersey a

Speaker 1: picked up and goes to the pound on Christmas Day.

00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: So we get the interview and we're like not that

56
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,399

Speaker 1: I can handle this bomb myself. I need to know

69
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: about the dog. And they're like, oh, yeah, the dog's fine,

70
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: Like we don't have that too much information. I drive

71
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: all the way to the Pound. I rolled up, I

72
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,080

73
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,400

00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: and I'm like, hey, I'm here to meet the Golden Retriever.

00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: And the lady comes out and she goes, oh, the

76
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: last appointment got the Golden Retriever. I was like, nah,

00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: She's like no, like straight face no. And at this point,

80
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: my face just like oh my god, you gotta be

81
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: kidding me. My phone's pinging the whole damn time. Because

82
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: of the Fantasy football, the NFL, Antonio Brown, all this

83
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: crazy stuff is happening, and I'm like full on dog

84
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: mode and I'm like, no, no, col how could they

85
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: took the dog after meeting it? And she's like, yeah,

86
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: they were really into it, um. And I was like, well,

87
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: what are the chances they're gonna come back and like

88
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: not gonna like the dog? And again I laugh all

89
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: you want. I've never been to a dog pound in

90
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: my life, um. And she's like, they were here three

91
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: hours before the interview. You know, they really seemed I

92
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: don't think the dog's coming back. And at this point

93
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: I kind of put my hands up, like this is

94
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: really happening. I spent all this time, am I even

95
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: getting the dog? I'm not even meeting the dog. So

96
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: I called my wife while I'm in front of the

97
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: lady and I'm like, the last deploytment got the dog

98
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: and she's like, oh my gosh, Like I didn't even

99
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: know how that works. Now, Luckily my wife did not

100
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: tell the kids, and you know, they don't know, but

101
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna see when they come home and we've got

102
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: all this dog stuff. At any rate, it really put

103
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: a sour note on my NFL Sunday. I came home,

104
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: I was like drained. I had like a throbbing headache. Um.

105
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: I had a drink at like three thirty in the afternoon.

106
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: It was like a stiff drink, like straight liquor, because

107
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: I was just like devastated and shook, and my fantasy

108
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: football team was crumbling and the bets were not going good.

109
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the NFL Week seventeen, and

110
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: it wasn't a great weekend in football. Um, it's funny.

111
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: I thought, like, Okay, Chiefs losing, Cowboys losing. These are big. Um,

112
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: I think we have to open with Antonio Brown, and

113
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: don't we not like it was such a big deal.

114
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: I did an entire post on Antonio Brown on Instagram.

115
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like that, never in my life.

116
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy quit in the middle of the game. Now,

117
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: I know, like Rob G and some others, you guys

118
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: have a lot of stuff going on in your life.

119
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: It's a holiday break. It's the last day you want

120
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: to do stuff. So I do know a bunch of

121
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: people who were not in front of television's Sundays. This

122
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: ship was unfolding. And oh, by the way, the New

123
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: Year's resolution is safe. You er bad words. I talked

124
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: to so many dads of of the break who texted

125
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: me about the podcast, so I gotta dial back the

126
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: F bombs and all that stuff. So you know, I

127
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: of course somebody in my league dropped Antonio Brown, so

128
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: I was able to pick him up. I started him

129
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: in the fantasy league. I'm all geeked, like Antonio Brown

130
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: versus my jets. Come on, this is automat and I

131
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: guess Antonio Brown wasn't getting enough plays. He was unhappy.

132
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,119
Speaker 1: And there's a video from the fan who was behind

133
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: the Bucks bench. You can see Mike Evans pleading with him, like, bro,

134
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: calm down, chill out. Antonio browns like stopping his foot

135
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: like a like a third grader. Mike Evans like, bro,

136
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: come on, and Antonio Brown like backs away and just

137
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: starts to unbuckle everything and basically stripped down, take off

138
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 1: his pads. And then the cool part was when he

139
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: just rips off the shirt and he's just shredded, just

140
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: rocked up. I mean all you see is apps, like,

141
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: look that that guy's not at a cookie in his

142
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: entire life. I mean he has a personal chef who's

143
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: helping him with a vaccine card and all that stuff.

144
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: But um, the fake vaccine card I should note. But

145
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: my favorite part, so he gets it, tosses into the crowd.

146
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: You can see some of the coaches on the Bucks

147
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: sidelines just looking at the dumbfounded, just like Mounts frozen,

148
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: like what's happening. They're not even like motioning until we're

149
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: pointing or anything. They're just staring like is this real life?

150
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: And then Antonio Brown middle of the game, like I

151
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: think a punit just happened, and you know, the transition

152
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: was happening between the special teams and the defense or whatever,

153
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: and Antonio Brown is skipping through the end zone shirtless.

154
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: He looked like a kid who just got out of

155
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: school the final day of school. You know the buzzer

156
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: sounds final day of school. You're skipping around. Oh there's summer,

157
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: no teachers, no homework. Oh I can't wait. I'm just

158
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: gonna go to the pool and goof off. And then

159
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, no joke, went and got an uber. It's

160
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: not even a joke. You know, when the uber driver

161
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: picks you up from MetLife, he's gonna recognize, Oh this

162
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: guy NFL player, I mean he's got all the chains on.

163
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: And Antonio Brown is like slous from the vac sat

164
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: clearly reading social media and Bruce arians after the game,

165
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: Yeah he's done. And I think if I ask you

166
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: guys to go to look for anything, it is Tom

167
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: Brady's words of wisdom on Antonio Brown, like he had

168
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: a chance to rip him and say how disappointed he

169
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: was in Antonio Brown for not showing up and acting

170
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: like a petulant little b I and Tom Brady is like,

171
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: the guy needs help and I feel bad for him,

172
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: and that's like the real way to look at you know, Listen,

173
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: this is a new year, right, we gotta be positive.

174
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: We gotta try to lift one another up. We're not

175
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: gonna tear each other down. And then you go read

176
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: the tweets that I fired off about this clown Antonio Brown,

177
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: like Jason, come on, talking out of both sides of

178
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: your mouth. In the moment, it was like, what is

179
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: d doing? And now that you've had a chance to

180
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: step back, you're like, man, this dude needs more than help.

181
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: And um back when I went when I went to Jersey,

182
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: my mother in law got me a ride from the air,

183
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: you know, a guy to pick me up so I

184
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 1: don't have to do the whole uber thing, and um,

185
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: it was pretty cool. So it just turns out he's

186
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: a former cop, super nice guy, driven around Joe Tory

187
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: a bunch of dudes. And he texted me after the

188
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown thing, and and I regret asking in this,

189
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: but I'm like, you know, honestly seeing this behavior, knowing

190
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: his history, like over under, like Antonio Brown's in jail

191
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: in five years. I mean, I know that's a bad

192
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: thing to say, and it sounds rotten, but I'm being honest.

193
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: Like the behavior he was given multiple second chances that

194
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: we forget. The Steelers were like, bro, we put up

195
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 1: with you for a decade, it's over. He goes to

196
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: the Raiders for like four minutes and then he it's like,

197
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: how hell this screw it, I'm out. And then he

198
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: gets in like seventeen different fights with people for lawsuits,

199
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady's like, bro, I'll take you in. I

200
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: like to give people second and third and fifty chances.

201
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: He's on the straight narrow and they win the Super Bowl.

202
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: Things don't go as well this year. Think facts and

203
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: a in card, and now Antonio Brown is done in

204
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: the NFL and he cost himself a lot of money there.

205
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: This is staggering. Antonio Brown was eight catch three bonuses

206
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,599
Speaker 1: that he missed out on because he quit. That's what

207
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: he did. Quit. He walked away on his team, the Buccaneers,

208
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 1: eight catches away from three hundred and thirty three thousand dollars.

209
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: It's a bonus in his contract. All he needed was

210
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 1: eight catches. That is, the second half, maybe the second

211
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: half against the Jets are certainly weak. Eight team fifty

212
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: five yards away from a three hundred and thirty three

213
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: thousand dollar bonus. He was one receiving touchdown away from, yes,

214
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: a three hundred and thirty three thousand dollar bonus. So essentially,

215
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: he was eight catches, fifty five yards and a touchdown

216
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: away from a million dollars. Now, I know you could say,

217
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: all these rich athletes that's pocket change. Tell me Antonio

218
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: Brown is not gonna use a million dollars in a

219
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: year or two or three. I mean that, I've never

220
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 1: seen anything like that. Now, Rob, I want to avoid

221
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 1: us crushing Antonio Brown our first podcast of I want

222
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,479

223
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: positive sunshine. Let's be positive. I mean, can you say

224
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: anything nice about Antonio Brown no. Fox Sports Radio has

Speaker 1: lead a miraculous comeback against your New York Jets there

231
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 1: in the second half. I wasn't even gonna talk about what,

232
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: you know, but he made his comments about Tom Brady

233
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: and everyone's giving him credit about the humanity and the

234
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: perspective that he had. You know, we have guys like Cuffs,

00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: we need to show some sympathy Antonio Brown. He's obviously

237
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: going through a lot. We got guys like you know,

238
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,640

Speaker 1: You know, I was like, get deeper into NBA season.

240
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: You got, yeah, it's kind of same thing. You know,

241
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: this is who's gonna, you know, look out for Antonio

242
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: Brown and then this is deeper than than sports and

243
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: things like that. You know that that was a talking

244
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: point on social media. You know, the trolls got their

245
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: their tweets off a lot of the quote unquote respected

246
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: voices were saying, hey, this, you know, he obviously is

247
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: going through some issues and I didn't have a resolution.

248
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: To me, that's bullshit, Okay. Disregard everything that happened on

249
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: the field and in the locker room, whether it's the

250
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: frozen feet and the helmet with the Raiders, you know

251
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: this one, leaving mid game again with Tampa um the

252
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: Instagram live, the kicking footballs, and and in Pittsburgh, and

253
00:12:54,760 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: all these different things alleged sexual assault, sexual misconduct, reckless endangerment, falony,

254
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: burglary with battery, falony, possession of a forged document. None

255
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: of these things have absolutely anything to do with football.

256
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown is not, you know, looking for some cry

257
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: for help by leaving in the middle of a game

258
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: against the Jets. He is a scumbag. He is a

259
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: bad dude. He he is not a good human being.

260
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: And if you don't believe me, just do a quick

261
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: Google search on all the controversy has been on and

262
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 1: he and and and and even if you don't want

263
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: to read the whole laundry list of things, just look

264
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: at what he did to that artist that he had

265
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: a sexual you know, just look at that. Just read

266
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: that story and tell me, yeah, you know what, Antonio

267
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: Brown deserved a second chance. No he didn't. He got

268
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: one because Tom Brady was so desperate to win another

269
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and to one up Bill Belichick that he

270
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: decided I'm gonna look out for this guy because I

271
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: know he can play football, because he's a damn good receiver.

272
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: I think he's their best receiver in Tampa when even

273
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: when they're all healthy. But he is not a good person. Okay,

274
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: so I'm not gonna give him sympathy. I'm not gonna say, oh, well,

275
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 1: he's obviously going through a lot, and this is a

276
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: cry for help. Like with Tom Brady suggesting, I'm sure

277
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: he's going through a lot. I'm sure you don't. Just

278
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: a right minded person doesn't leave in the middle football game,

279
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: especially when they're that close to a million dollars in bonuses.

280
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna just One of the big speculation

281
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: is that the reason he had this outburst was because

282
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: he wasn't getting the touches, he wasn't getting the place,

283
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: and he wasn't gonna get that million. Now that's speculation.

284
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: I don't know that nobody has any inside of Bruce

285
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: Arians told Jay Glazer after the game that he told

286
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown to go back in the game, and an

287
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: Aby said no, And that's what led to the whole

288
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: issue that he told him multiple times to go back

289
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: in a b had already had enough and he said no.

290
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: He said fine, then then don't be out here. And

291
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: that's all right. I'm gone and left. But my my

292
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: overall point, and because I know you want to be positive,

293
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: because this is a good year for you and a

294
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: good year for the podcast. But I'm not gonna I

295
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: feel sorry or or say, hey, what can we do

296
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: to make things right with Antonio Brown because he's obviously

297
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: dealing with some mental issues when he doesn't deserve the

298
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt anymore. He's done enough things. I've

299
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: got enough chances where I'm just like, all right, fine,

300
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: you're gone, screw you go. I don't care like you're

301
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: You're good for my profession because it's something to talk about.

302
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: But as far as a person, I'm going to give

303
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: you any kind of encouragement or hoping that you get

304
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: through this, I don't. I mean that I don't totally disagree.

305
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: I I hope the best firm I hope this guy

306
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: figures it out, you know, But there's no like I

307
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: feel bad for him. I hope that wasn't how it

308
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: came across, Like is there a sympathy that, yeah, this

309
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: guy needs serious help and I hope he gets it.

310
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: I want no part of helping him. Are you kidd

311
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: even give me a break? Wod you buy to sacrifice

312
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: my life to go help that clown? But I do.

313
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I know this sounds bad, but like, yeah,

314
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: I hope he figures it out. Now it is weird.

315
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: There is this whole thing like, oh, he's a black

316
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: guy and everybody's piling on him. Uh and the same

317
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: thing they did to Kyrie Irving. Mental health is real? Sure,

318
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: mental health might be real. Um is Antonio Brown seeking

319
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: any treatment for that? I don't know. I'm kind of

320
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: pissed that he took the shine away. Essentially, he is

321
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: the biggest story in the NFL, and you could argue

322
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: in sports, Uh, this Monday morning when there were some

323
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: incredible games, the Arizona Cardinals saying their season cliff Kings,

324
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: where he flipped a million narratives. Uh, there's a a

325
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: metric ton of questions about the Cowboys suddenly um. And

326
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: then of course Joe Burrow, who was amazing. We got

327
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: you got Joe mar Chase stealing offensive Rookie of the

328
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: Year from Mac Jones. Seriously, come on, it has to

329
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: has to be to Mark Chase. Um. And you know

330
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: you got questions about the Chiefs. I'm kind of and

331
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: then listen, I thought the great win. Of course I

332
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: had a lot of money on them in teasers, which

333
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: kind of ended up getting blown up. They didn't come

334
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: and the spread, but the Rams that comeback went over

335
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: the Ravens was incredible. I was super pumped up, and

336
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: I'm on all these text change for NFL Sundays and

337
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: I got so many Rams fans it's texting me like,

338
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: oh my yeah, yeah, it was amazing. I mean, listen,

339
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: it was awesome. And for von Miller and Odell Beckham

340
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: to come through late didn't feel pretty damn cool. You

341
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: you gotta admit that was awesome for the Rams. And

342
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: it's just early in that game, like I think it

343
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,719
Speaker 1: was like the third playoff. This from scrimmage or something. Defensively,

344
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey ends up punching slash, hitting his teammate in

345
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: the face. Taylor rap in the defensive huddle. I've never

346
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: seen that before. And that's like not even close to

347
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey punching a teammate or hitting with the helmets on.

348
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: Obviously hitting a teammate in the head on the field

349
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: in the huddle and having to be separated. That normally

350
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 1: would be like massive news. That's like the sevent like

351
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: storyline in the NFL from a Crazy Sunday. So I

352
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: don't want to bury Antonio Brown. My guess is that

353
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: he's not going to be back in the NFL ever again.

354
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: I don't see like I get it. Tom Brady threw

355
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: him a lifeline. They gave him a chance. Tom Brady

356
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: over ruled Bruce Arians and I think everybody in the

357
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: NFL is gonna now see this guy is more of

358
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: a problem and a headache than his talent is worth

359
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: a thirty three. So I can't see him playing again.

360
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: A lot of people are like, Oh, he's gonna fight

361
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: Jake Paul next, he's gonna go to CFL. I don't

362
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: really care. You can do whatever you want, um, but

363
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: I do want to get to talk about and this

364
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:22,239
Speaker 1: is kind of an overriding theme for today. But if

365
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: if we would agree. There are six primary Super Bowl

366
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: contenders right now in the NFL, right the Packers, Bucks,

367
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: and Cowboys. I'm gonna personally go ahead and toss in

368
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: the l A Rams. I know some people disagree with that,

369
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: and then in the a f C, it's really Buffalo

370
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs. I don't think anybody seriously thinks the

371
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: Titans are contenders. Um. I think maybe people want to

372
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: add the Bankals. So if you want to find you

373
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: can add the Bengals seven. I would think half of

374
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: those teams had real big problems in week seventeen. Now

375
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 1: maybe it was just a one off or like the

376
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills are coming down off that huge wood. They

377
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: did not look overly impressive. They looked downright sloppy in

378
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: the snow at home where they usually thrive and struggled

379
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: to put away Atlanta. UM, And I do want to

380
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: talk about Matt Ryan. I got some strong Matt Ryan

381
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: takes after watching Rob Have you ever seen a quarterback

382
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: get a taunting penalty for scoring a touchdown that he

383
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: thought was a touchdown but there was actually a flag

384
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: that called it back. And Matt Ryan was so fired

385
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: up he taunted the Bills guy who drilled him. I

386
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: was stunned. Matt Ryan, he's like your accountant and he's

387
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: firing f bombs in the end zone at some Bills

388
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: defensive Backcoop Claubert him on what he thought was a touchdown.

389
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Matt Ryan's fired up. He showed me something.

390
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that guy's gonna be a quarterback on

391
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: a contender next year. There's no way he's going out

392
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,239
Speaker 1: like this. I think he pulls a Matt Stafford and

393
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: I think Matt Ryan goes a Falcons. Guys, I gave it,

394
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: you're all word at the end here. Let me move on, okay,

395
00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 1: And I think they do him that solid. But we'll

396
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,239
Speaker 1: we'll get to the Falcons. Uh, probably in the off

397
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: season or maybe next September. Anyways, if you look at

398
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and I talked about this on the Fox

399
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: bet Live show that I do on Sunday with Sam

400
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: and Jeff Over at Fox. So the Chiefs had been

401
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 1: on an awesome streak, right, six straight wins against the spread.

402
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: They had once I think seven of their last eight games,

403
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: they had held opponents under twenty points. And then you

404
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: drill down a little bit and you're like, oh, um, well,

405
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: who exactly did they face? In all these defensive foods.

406
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to hype the defense, and I did it here,

407
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,479
Speaker 1: I felt victim. Okay, I'm gonna rattle off. During their

408
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: wind streak. The quarterbacks, they faced Mike Lennon, who's the clown.

409
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: He's terrible, He's gonna be out of the league, Jordan's love,

410
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: I don't need to say anything else, Derek Carr, rob

411
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: GI's guy with the Raiders, um who was awesome and

412
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: it's been up and down this year. Okay. Then I

413
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: faced dak who lost Seedee Lamb at halftime and did

414
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: not have hum Is a Gallup or Cooper one of

415
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: those two. But bottom line is the Cowboys offensive weapons

416
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: were severely hindered in that one. Then they beat up

417
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 1: on Teddy bridge Water, Derek Carr again, uh, and Ben Roethlisberger.

418
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: The one quarterback they faced in that stretch was Justin

419
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: Herbert and he lit them up. So you faced one

420
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: good quarterback. I mean, Dad is good, but without the

421
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 1: weapons was he? Is he that good? And Justin Herbert

422
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: shredded them? So I was like, okay, And early in

423
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: the week, remember month, last Monday, I said the first

424
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: bet I made was on the Chiefs. And then as

425
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: you go on throughout the week, you realize every single person,

426
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: every square better that you know he's on the Chiefs,

427
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: all of them, and you're like, oh, jeez, I screwed

428
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: up on the wrong side. And what happens come late

429
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 1: Saturday night when the limits go up and you can

430
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: bet you know two, you get down six figures and

431
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: big money. That money is on the Bengals. And it

432
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: was obvious at that point that the Bengals were gonna

433
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: pull this off and get the wind. Now they were

434
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: trailing team I know, I get it, but Joe Burrow

435
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: absolutely did what Justin Herbert did to the Chiefs and

436
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: lit him up. They couldn't guard Jamar Chase. I mean,

437
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: it's third and twenty seven and you leave Jamaar Chase

438
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: at while one of the sidelines. I mean, I believe

439
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,719
Speaker 1: the let me just double check. I think the Bengals

440
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 1: had four hundred and seventy five yards of offense seven

441
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: point five yards per play. They just decided, you know what,

442
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: we're trailing. Um. This Joe makes It thing is not

443
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: working against his defensive line. We're just gonna chuck and

444
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 1: duck and Joe Burrow lit him up. He was awesome.

445
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: He got sacked four times. I think at one point

446
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: they ripped the like the name plate off the back

447
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: of his jersey. Rob, I don't know if you saw that,

448
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: Chris Jones. Chris Jones is just killing him and and

449
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: they were annihilating Burrow in the pocket. And yeah, Chris

450
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 1: Jones had two sacks. Three quarterback kids. He was all

451
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: up in his grill and Burrows still delivered. I mean

452
00:22:55,320 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: he was Joe Burrow was pretty awesome. Rob. You don't

453
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: want to go overboard because Burro has been very good

454
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: this year, but my god, if he's not a top

455
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: ten quarterback in the league, I don't know what a

456
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: top ten quarterback looks like this guy and Jamaar Chased,

457
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: by the way, Obviously, Jamar Chase is incredible. Is stat

458
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: line eleven for two sixty six and three touchdowns. I mean,

459
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: just Jamaar Chase was ridiculous and he clearly won Offensive

460
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: Brookie of the Year out right. I mean you'd degree

461
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: over Mac Jones, right, yeah, I mean I think it

462
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: was close heading down the home stretch. But when you

463
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: have a game like he had on Sunday Jamaar Chase.

464
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: By the way, I wish you would have had it

465
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago because maybe would have been

466
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: in the Fantasy Football Championship, but he didn't really show

467
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: up there down the stretch. It's okay, um, I have

468
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: a hot take. I didn't run by you before we

469
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: started recording this morning, but I'm let me get your

470
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: thoughts on it. I don't think that anybody outside of

471
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: the Chargers and the aforementioned Bengals can beat the che

472
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: Eas in the a f C in the playoffs. I

473
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 1: don't think they can. I think that one thing we

474
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you brought up a great quit by the defense.

475
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: You know, their defense has been a little bit uh fraudulent,

476
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: you know, for lack of a better word, with the

477
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: way they kind of beat up on bad quarterbacks. But

478
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: one thing that the Chiefs did do in the last

479
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 1: month or so, as their offense got right, shout out

480
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: to Gus Bradley and the Raiders defense who who helped

481
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: them work out a couple of kinks. And in the

482
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks they've been really lightened the scoreboard.

483
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: So I think that we're going to see in the

484
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: postseason again, which has been the case for the last

485
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: couple of years, is if you're gonna beat the Chiefs,

486
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: more than likely you're gonna just have to outscore them,

487
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: because you're not going to be able to keep them

488
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: down long enough for you to win a game like

489
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: twenty one to seventeen something like that. You're gonna have

490
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: to really put hurt on them. And I think the

491
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 1: only two teams in the a f C that have

492
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and an offensive system that's gonna allow them to

493
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: put up points that quickly that you're gonna need to

494
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 1: are the Chargers and the Bengals. And even I don't

495
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: think either one of those two teams are that great.

496
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,239
Speaker 1: I mean, Charges might even make it in if they

497
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: lose My Raiders, you know this upcoming week. It's a

498
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: playing game. But I don't see the Bills, like you mentioned,

499
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: I don't see the Patriots, you know, with Mac Jones,

500
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: the Titans obviously, I don't think any of those teams

501
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: have enough scoring punch where they could realistically knock the

502
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: Chiefs out of the playoffs. Well, it's funny you say that,

503
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: because the Titans kicked their ass three earlier this year,

504
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: not Derrick Henry did play. But but uh, if the

505
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: Titans get to buy and I think all they have

506
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: to do is beat the Houston Texans to get the

507
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: buy in the number one seed, that's an extra week

508
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: for Derrick Henry to get healthy. I've always been of

509
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: the thought that it's crazy that you Henry forced coming

510
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: back from that. Was that a Jones fracture? I think

511
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: um of his foot and like if you look historically,

512
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 1: people to rush back from that end up getting hurt

513
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: even more. Uh, and it just is not smart. Um.

514
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: But the Chiefs struggled with the Browns although the Rounds

515
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: are not making the playoffs, and um, I feel like

516
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 1: a ask clown for betting on the Browns to not

517
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: only make the playoffs, wi win the super Bowl in

518
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: the preseason. Yeah, that's not a good bet. Um. She's

519
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: did split with the Chargers, but it's pretty clear the

520
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: move Rob is to keep it close, score a lot,

521
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: and then get don't give the ball back. Now, I

522
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: will give Zack Taylor some criticism. Okay, I know he

523
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: got the win, but his game plan sucked at the outset.

524
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: They were getting their butts kicked the entire first half.

525
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: So I've never seen a scenario like what unfolded the end,

526
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: so if you weren't watching, so it's they drive all

527
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: the way down. It's fourth and one from the one

528
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: yard line with like I think it was like fifty

529
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: six seconds fifty one seconds left. Okay, this a touchdown

530
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: and you obviously, um go up a touchdown. It was

531
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: tigging and if you kicked the field goal, you go

532
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 1: up by three. And Patrick Mahomes is on the other side.

533
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 1: But they burned all their timehowns. So Zach Taylor says,

534
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: screw it. They tried to run it in and sneak

535
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: it in. None of it worked. My son's team needing

536
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: Joe mix and did not get what he needed. Um

537
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Zach Taylor' says, we're going for

538
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: it on fourth and one, calls a pass play. It

539
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: got blown up at Burrows scrambles and they they end

540
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: up coming up just short. But there were two flags

541
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: on the playoff setting penalties. Like, oh man, he's getting

542
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: a chance to redo and go for the kick. That's

543
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: that's what you know, That's what the big guy upstairs

544
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: is telling the You know, the Bengals, be careful, don't

545
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: screw this up. Zach Taylor says, we're going We're going

546
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: for again fourth and one for the one yard line,

547
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: and on the next play again Joe Burrow. Like the

548
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: first read was gone, second read gone to Burrows scrambling throws,

549
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: it gets hit and there's a flag and they called

550
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,959
Speaker 1: it on the defense. So it's a new set of downs.

551
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: But Joe Burrow comes up limptic and comes off the field.

552
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow fourth and one, end of the game. Finalmente

553
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: had to come off the field with a knee injury.

554
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: You're like, oh my gosh, what the hell. Unbelievable. They

555
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: have to put in the backup and you're like, dude,

556
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 1: this is the third chance Zach kicking. So eventually, now

557
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: that he's got the fresh setting downs because of the

558
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: defensive penalty, they kneel it, spike and then kicked the

559
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,719
Speaker 1: game winning field go Mahomes did not get the ball. Okay,

560
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: the final six O one Bengals fifteen place seventy nine

561
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 1: yard drive. These long drives, they I mean, they really

562
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: have killed the Chiefs this year. And if the defense

563
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: can't get off the field, front fours doing his job,

564
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: but clearly the Secondari's got problems and um, I mean

565
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: when you sack Borrow four times and you put the

566
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: pressure on him, I'd love to see the pressure numbers

567
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: when they come out later today from this, uh, this

568
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs front, they were awesome and the back end like

569
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: I mean, look at one of the angles storrens and

570
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: took when he got when jambar Ches caught another bomb,

571
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: like just embarrassing stuff. UM. I don't know, guys, I

572
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: still think the Chiefs are the favorite, but that that

573
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: Laws did not look good him by the way, their

574
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: left tackle was hurt or Lindo Brown did not play,

575
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: the backup was carted off in the first first quarter,

576
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: card off patella injury done. Um, and Mahomes did not

577
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: get sacked. So this Chief's defense, UM not great, But

578
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: the Bengal defense is really really bad. Fox Sports Radio

583
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys real quick and another one. This was

584
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: a killer for me. I had the Cowboys in like

585
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: every teaser. It was not a great Sunday for me,

586
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: not great at all. The Cowboys all they needed to

587
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: do if you had them at six and you tease

588
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: them down to pick them or getting a point, You're like,

589
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: all they have to do is win. Arizona's reeling, Arizona

590
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: is injured, look at the secondary, blah blah blah blah.

591
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: And the Cowboys came out like they thought they were

592
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: going to win the game. And they came out lifeless.

593
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: And the Dak Prescott issues Rob, they seemed to be real,

594
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: like he looked awesome last week. In the first half,

595
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: it gets a dead Washington team and I don't know

596
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: what what was up with Dak, but he had Rob

597
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: one of those games where you're like, oo, is something

598
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: wrong here? And I mean, I'm not saying I'm off

599
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I really think they were Super Bowl contender.

600
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: The loss of Michael Gallup is a big one, and

601
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: I know you'll just look at the numbers and say, oh,

602
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: come on, that's not big. What happens is now Seedee

603
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: Lamb has to go back outside. He operates best in

604
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: the slot when they have a Marii Cooper and Gallop

605
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: on the outside. I guess you could toy with Cedric

606
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: Wilson out there, but for instance, Ceedee Lamb for targets,

607
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: I think they have Buyer Murphy on u uh. That

608
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: Arizona which secondary was so hurt that they tried to

609
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: pick up the kid Brashad Breland, who got kicked out

610
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: of Minnesota a couple of weeks ago for fighting with

611
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: the coaching staff. So they try to pick up Breland

612
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: and he tests positive for COVID. That's how desperate they

613
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: were in the secondary. And then Dad comes out and

614
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: is basically awful, like all his stats were padded in

615
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: the in the fourth quarter when they're playing come from

616
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: behind because they had a one touchdown through three quarters.

617
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: Rob This was one of the most disappointing efforts I've

618
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: seen from the Cowboys um this season, and I don't

619
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: feel as confident as I had earlier about this team

620
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: going in and and maybe get into the Super Bowl final.

621
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: Stat that is kind of press rewind if I haven't

622
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: blown your mind, Trayvon dis has given up over one

623
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: thousand yards in coverage this season, most in the NFL.

624
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: He repeatedly was burnt toast against a j Agree. That

625
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: is a fun fact. I mean, I know I read

626
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: that Stap myself. But it's still jarring to hear, said

627
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: out loud, considering that you've got guys like Dion Sanders

628
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: saying not only should Trayvon digs, but Defensive Player of

629
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: the Year he should get MVP votes. And then I've

630
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: heard that, you know, said out loud. Um, I'm glad

631
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: that you brought up the the impact of the Michael

632
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: Gallup injury because I agree with you. I think that

633
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: was one of the more underdiscussed storylines to come out

634
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: of this game. And it's precisely exactly what you said.

635
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: Seedee Lamb kills people in the slot. I mean, he's

636
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: so such a great route runner. He's electric. He he's

637
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: fast enough to take the top off the defense. And

638
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: it's not to say he can't play outside, because obviously

639
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: he can. But what makes them so dynamic is when

640
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: he is in the slot, because you can't double anyone

641
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: else anymore at that point because he's so good, You're

642
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: you're more likely gonna have to double with him, either

643
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: with the safety over the top or shade him with

644
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: another linebacker on the inside, and that leaves Tony Pollard,

645
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: you know, to run a wheel out or something like

646
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,959
Speaker 1: that on the outside. So I think that that gallop

647
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: injury is much bigger than people are giving it, you know,

648
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: credit for um. I will say, you know, as much

649
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: as you said a few minutes ago about the Chiefs

650
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: and their defense and the quarterbacks that they faced, and

651
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: how it may have been a little bit of food

652
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: gay zy, a little bit the Cowboys, they haven't really

653
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: beaten anybody good in like two and a half months.

654
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: I mean, if you just look back, you know in

655
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: the last two and a half months, you know, they

656
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: lose to Denver, which I didn't understand that. I thought

657
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: they're just needs just the bad loss. Whatever things happened.

658
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: So they come back and they smack Atlanta three, lose

659
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs, lose to the Rage and Thanksgiving, they

660
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: beat Taysom Hill with the broken finger, Washington twice, the Giants.

661
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: Then they go ahead and lose that at home against

662
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: the Cardinal. So I know that on paper, with that

663
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: roster and the talent, and you know, they're gonna win

664
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: the Well. I think they already won the NFC East,

665
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: so you would assume that they should be a Super

666
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: Bowl contender. I just don't know if kind of like

667
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: the Chargers, where the talent doesn't necessarily match what you

668
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: see on the field when they play other good teams.

669
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: That's crazy. You're right, they have eleven wins um teams

670
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: that are going to the playoffs. That the Cowboys have

671
00:33:53,680 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: beaten New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles in Week three, and

672
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: the l A Chargers in Week two. And they beat

673
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots way way way back. So yeah, they haven't

674
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: beaten anybody good. And what's what I didn't like was

675
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: the last two times they've lost, right Arizona and the Raiders.

676
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: They blamed the officials. Obviously the Raiders game, there was

677
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: a million flags, I get it, but there were a

678
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: lot of flags, uh, in that Cardinals lost too, and

679
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 1: they come out blaming them, like, hey, guys, what about

680
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott just sucking like he was not good for

681
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: three quarters? Kyler Bury looked like the better quarterback. I mean,

682
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: if you had come out of a coma, you were

683
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: in a coma for fifteen years, and that was the

684
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 1: first NFL game you watched and you just saw Kyler

685
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: vers dack and be like this guy, Kyla Bari's dropping dimes, yo,

686
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: I mean he's putting in a basket some tight end

687
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: named Wesley I've never heard of looked awesome, look look

688
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: better than Dalton Schultz. Um. I was stunned at the

689
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: UH just Arizona pulling off the win over over Dallas,

690
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: I thought was incredible, And I don't I don't know

691
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: that Arizona is deadly in the playoffs. Still didn't not,

692
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: haven't had connor. I don't think New Copkins is coming back.

693
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go through all the playoffs scenarios,

694
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,399
Speaker 1: but I just feel like the NFC is two muddled. Right.

695
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: We we have next weekend or yeah, week eighteen. It

696
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: is gonna be San fran versus the Rams, and I

697
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: think if the Rams win that they win the West

698
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 1: and host a playoff game. If they lose in Arizona wins,

699
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 1: I think Arizona wins the division and host the playoff game. Um,

700
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: Minnesota's out, Atlanta's out, the Saints have a can the

701
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: Saints get in? No, No, that I think the NFC

702
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: has done. It's just the order. Yeah, Eagles, I think

703
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: locked up the seventh spot forty niner. Now they could

704
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 1: leave for the forty niners if they lose. Actually, I'm

705
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: sorry New Orleans and New Orleans and San Francisco there

706
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: fighting for the last spot right there, fighting for the

707
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: last spot. Um yeah, I don't know. My my rams

708
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: up to number two, so they're gonna be playing. I

709
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: have tickets to um Rams San fran on Sunday. However,

710
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: this is going to sound. It's buried in the pod,

711
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 1: so a lot of people will not listen except for

712
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: the die hards or his Rob likes to call him

713
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 1: t one listeners, p one listeners. I'm sorry, so I

714
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: don't even know if I told you this, Rob. So

715
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: my local basketball league was canceled from my kids again

716
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: last season end this season really pissed. My son's on

717
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: a club team, so he's fine, he's playing. But my

718
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: daughter it's like she didn't play last year. The year

719
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: before we coached her, they were undefeated. It's like, come on,

720
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: we want to do this. So me and another dad

721
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: are starting a league. I know that sounds really in

722
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: depth when it's not. You just have to want to

723
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: do it and have people. So we're gonna do four teams.

724
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: Um My, the other guy know, got rented the gym,

725
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,959
Speaker 1: we got the time. We'll just divide up the kids

726
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: evenly and do four teams. Uh, UM, I know, it's like,

727
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: oh you really know, Like we're gonna do kids. It's easy.

728
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 1: If you've been in an area for a few years

729
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: in the school system, you could easily get thirty kids.

730
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 1: Plus we were doing like a little girls basketball thing

731
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: um throughout COVID, like once a week where I get

732
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: the kids together just shoot and do scrimmage. So so

733
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: a lot of the kids are already kind of we

734
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: know them. But the first weekend of games next weekend

735
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: and yes, it's during the Rams game. And so I

736
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: was talking to the other dad. I'm like, he he

737
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: had Rams tickets too, and I'm like, it's kind of

738
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: a big game. I want to go. My wife's got

739
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: him for the birthday. Oh my god, can I skip

740
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: the the first game of our little season? Is that

741
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: a bad look? So I'm gonna have to talk to

742
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: the wife. She may be listening to this. Um, I

743
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: don't know, Rob, what's the movie? Rams Niners? Is good?

744
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: So far is great? The tickets are awesome. Yeah, I'm

745
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: going to that game. You know, apologies to the the

746
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: youth Sports of America, but this is a clinch a

747
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 1: division game for the Rams and winning your in game

748
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: for the Niners. So I think I'm gonna probably go

749
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,760
Speaker 1: to that one and say good luck to the squad.

750
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: Hope you guys win will get him next game if

751
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: we don't. So that's all right. I know you're doing

752
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: odd couple later today, But is your boy Rob Parker

753
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: gonna just take a dumb all over Matt Stafford? You

754
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: know what? He was saying a lot of stuff in

755
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: the group chat about Matt Stafford. It was a lot

756
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: of Antonio Brown slander and Matt Stafford I told you

757
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 1: where is your Messiah now? Kind of tweets that I

758
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: keep getting. So yes, hold on, I just because I

759
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: have this favorite it. Okay. I saw it about Derek

760
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: Carr a couple of weeks ago when he had like

761
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: another comeback victory. By the way, he had another one

762
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: gets a cold? Do you want to brag about that

763
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 1: Hunter Renfrol catch and that was a great win for

764
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Man, look, man, I'm gonna also up a

765
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: ship Tony. Yes. Let me just all they need to

766
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: do is win. Let me just say shout out to

767
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: the very first guest of the Straight Fire podcast, Colin Cowher,

768
00:38:58,200 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: who put it out on Twitter or something. I've been

769
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,760
Speaker 1: saying from Puns, I don't know what award that Derek

770
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: car can get, but he deserves an award just for

771
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: having them in this position that they're in heading into

772
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: Week E team where they can actually make the playoffs

773
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 1: after everything that's gone wrong for them this season. Derek

774
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: Carr deserves, you know, a Sportsman of the Year or

775
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: like a federal holiday or something. You know, like he

776
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: deserves it. I didn't watch it close enough, but what

777
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: what has gotten into the defense because Jonathan Taylor was

778
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: bottled up again? I thought last week they bottled up

779
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: the Broncos running game. They had like fourteen yards or

780
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: something because Drew Lock was a quarterback. It's like, oh,

781
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 1: Drew Lock, we don't respect him. But like I guess

782
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: they don't respect Carson Wentz either went started out with

783
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: one of seven um but they the defense was impressive. Man. Yeah,

784
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: you know what what the Raiders have issues with is

785
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: when it's a good passing team. Because even though I

786
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: know they have an improved secondary, you know, they run

787
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: a very simplistic scheme and they just hoped that the

788
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: front courting from four to get to you. Now, the

789
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 1: rush defense isn't that good either, but if they know

790
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: going into a game that the quarterback is not great,

791
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: they can commit extra defenders in the box and just

792
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: say we're gonna dare you to beat us. And thankfully

793
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 1: that's worked out for them, you know, because they did

794
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: that to the Browns. They did that to the Broncos,

795
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: and they did that for about half of the Indianapolis

796
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: Colts game because Carsone's kind of got it going a

797
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 1: little bit the second half, but they shut him down

798
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: a lot early and that's all they needed. Hunter third

799
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 1: in renfroll Man. He is I mean, that guy is good.

800
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: What a great draft pick by h Mayok. Just a

801
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: tremendous find. The kid out of Clemson who was I

802
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: think like a walk on. He's got a great story.

803
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: He's like a tiny white guy, you know, and he

804
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: just unguardable, like he's just shredding people. And that catch

805
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: that he had catch and run and set up the

806
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: game winner, it was awesome. Uh. Here's the stat I

807
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: found it. Most game winning drives since Derek Carr made

808
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: his NFL debut in two thousand fourteen. Derek Car twenty eight,

809
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: Matt Staff twenty eight. Now this is from December. Um

810
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: Car did not have a game winning drive last week. Uh,

811
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: Matt's Stafford did not. But Matt Stafford had won this

812
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 1: week and so did Car. So I guess they're twice

813
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: at twenty nine. By the way, Ben Roethlisberger and Russell

814
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: Wilson are are next at twenty three. Um so yeah,

815
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: Car and Stafford to underappreciated guys, because it says something

816
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: when you lead the league in game winning drives, right

817
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: like you're probably behind or tied. You don't have a

818
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: great team. That's why Aaron Rodgers does the stiffest list.

819
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,359
Speaker 1: He's always winning. He's got a great team. You know.

820
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: It's like Tom Brady, Why does he not have so

821
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: many game winning drives because he's always winning. He's just good.

822
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: He's always on good teams. When you got Bill Belichick,

823
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: you don't need game winning drives. Now I know what

824
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: the counter is, Oh, well they need to come back

825
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: because Stafford stinks and Car stinks and they stink up

826
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: to join. Well, if they were awful, the team to

827
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: could be getting blown out and there would be no

828
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: game winning drives. So it's a combination of well, you know,

829
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: they don't have a great team, but the clutch Derek

830
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: Carr and matt Stafford deliver um. I can't say, I

831
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: can't brag any more about Stafford, but he's got to

832
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: get better. Like Rob, he was not good. I think

833
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,399
Speaker 1: overcome him twice in a row. Now, yeah, I've read

834
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,800
Speaker 1: somewhere this was coming into Sunday's game. I think it

835
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: was Jim Charter, the NFL network. And he's been on

836
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: the pond before that, I guess, including now Sunday. Six

837
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: of Aaron or excuse be, six of Matthew Stafford's interceptions

838
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: have come in his own twenty yard line. Those are

839
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 1: the worst, and I think four of them are A

840
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: pick six is yeah, Like there's just ridiculous. So it's like,

841
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 1: you know, it's one thing to turn the ball over.

842
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: You know, guys do it. It happens, you know, other

843
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: than Aaron Rodgers, everybody those interceptions. But when you're in

844
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: your backed up like that, you have to be extra

845
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: cautious with a football at Matthew Stafford, for whatever reason,

846
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: still has not learned that lesson. Hey, uh, Rob, I

847
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: know sometimes you timestamp stuff and put it in the

848
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 1: iTunes description. I need you to timestamp this. Miami Dolphins, Uh,

849
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: they got eliminated from the playoffs. Had a lot of

850
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins fans thump in their chest. We've won seven

851
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:11,760
Speaker 1: straight to look at his stats. Okay, okay, two years sample,

852
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: but it's really his first sixteen games. Like put him

853
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: up next to anybody. All this to a hype rob

854
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: you watch any of Dolphins Titans? I did because I

855
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:21,399
Speaker 1: had some money on the Titans. One of my few

856
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: wins on Sunday to a was hot garbage. He was

857
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: so bad, zero touchdowns, five point four yards per attempt. Okay,

858
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: when you're playing the Sisters of the Poor, which is

859
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,720
Speaker 1: what they did, get fat in that seven game win stream,

860
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: you could up a lot of bad quarterbacks and a

861
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: lot of bad teams. I'm not saying Ryan Tannehill is great,

862
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:46,720
Speaker 1: but he's efficient. And that Titans offensive line killed murdered

863
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:50,919
Speaker 1: the Dolphins in the trenches formant froman Are you saying

864
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: Dante for him? And who had all my fantasy bench

865
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: like an ass clown hundred thirty two yards? Okay, Duke Johnson,

866
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: you can torch the Jets, buddy boy could do Jack squad. Otherwise,

867
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 1: Oh where Jalen Waddle? Yeah? How did he do? Okay,

868
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: he's going against Jack Rabbit Jenkins, who's an overrated quarterback

869
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,959
Speaker 1: former New York Giants Jalen Waddle. Hey, he's been good,

870
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: no denying it. Three for forty seven yards in basically

871
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 1: a we need to win to get in the playoffs.

872
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 1: So Worlds two are looking DeVante Parker, are you ready?

873
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: DeVante Parker had thirteen targets, four receptions. The accuracy is

874
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: so bad, guys, I don't like enough with this to

875
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 1: a completed eighty percent of his passes against the Jets.

876
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: He completed seventy percent against the Texas. Nobody cares win

877
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: a game that matters. He's not good like I get

878
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,399
Speaker 1: it to him. He's looked decent and flashes against bad

879
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:56,399
Speaker 1: seller dwelling teams. Miami Dolphins fans, folks, if you watch

880
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 1: this game all geeked up or in your Dan Marino jersey,

881
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,840
Speaker 1: you know, and you're all stoked. Going back to the playoffs,

882
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,439
Speaker 1: we haven't been there since Adam Gaze took us there.

883
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: You lost thirty fourth three. You were never in this

884
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: game for a moment, not a second, and now comes

885
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,959
Speaker 1: the off season. Okay two, Oh, by the way, look

886
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: bad early in the season when all the rumors about

887
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: um Deshaun Watson were out there. So what happens trade

888
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:34,399
Speaker 1: deadline passes, Deshaun Watson becomes on the back burner, and

889
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: two was able to thrive against bad teams. It was

890
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: the perfect storm, guys, That's what it was. It was

891
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: the perfect storm for two to thrive. And then you

892
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: know they have to step up in class and they

893
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: got smacked back to the boondocks. That's what happened to

894
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 1: his QBR was eight. I'm not a big guy on QBR,

895
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 1: but I just I just found that funny he had

896
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: his QBR was eight. And I said this on the

897
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show. Hosted it last week with I think

898
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,800
Speaker 1: I hosted it twice, maybe with Gottlie even Jeff Warts.

899
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, guys, in't going into next year. I

900
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 1: would rather have Zach Wilson than TOA. And it's not

901
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 1: even close. And I know Zach Wilson was not great,

902
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you he had way less to work

903
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,720
Speaker 1: with than TOA. His offensive lines worse, to his offensive

904
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: lines terrible. And he's younger and also we so we

905
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: had a larger body of work of TOA. He always

906
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: is hurt. We know that dating back to Alabama, he's

907
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 1: got better weapons than Zack Wilson, and in any game

908
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: that mattered, he looked terrible. Rob Is that one of

909
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: these hot? Is that too hot of a take to start?

910
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's, you know, the hottest, I'll

911
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: take a step further and no line, keep it in

912
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,439
Speaker 1: a hundred. If you said, Jason, do you want Matt

913
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:54,359
Speaker 1: Jones or Zach Wilson, I'll say Zach Wilson. Wow, Matt

914
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: Jones great game manager. He's also got Bill Belichick. I'm

915
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: just curious if you swapped Zach Wilson and at Jones,

916
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: how are the Jets demonstrably better? Are they? I mean?

917
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: Are the Patriots worse? Yes, Zack Wilson does how many

918
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 1: games did Matt Jones straight up win? He doesn't need

919
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 1: to peter, He didn't lose them games. I think Zach

920
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 1: Wilson games Zack Wilson had to wind and get, but

921
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 1: he would also lose them games. I mean, Zach, Zack Wilson,

922
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 1: you know, had what like six good games in college

923
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: and a great Pro day and then all of a

924
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: sudden he's at a top NFL quarterback. Look, man, he's

925
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of raw skills, raw talent. Okay,

926
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: he had a first time offensive court. I will go

927
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 1: to the mattress. He had a first time offensive coordinator.

928
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: Matt Jones had Josh McDaniels and oh, by the way,

929
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: Mac Jones was at Alabama. I think he was like

930
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: twenty two, maybe twenty three. He's no, I'm sorry, he's

931
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,240
Speaker 1: definitely not twenty two. I think he's twenty four. Um,

932
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: but Matt Jones is not like this young kid like

933
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson. He was behind Jalen Hurts and toa who

934
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:02,479
Speaker 1: were NFL picks, Zack Wilson's like fighting for his job

935
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,240
Speaker 1: with you know guys who are uh, you know, working

936
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: on the farm and like Iowa. Now. So this idea

937
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,240
Speaker 1: that like Zack Wilson was going to have any success

938
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 1: was crazy. I'm sorry. Matt Jones is twenty three turned

939
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 1: twenty three opening week, so he's a year older than

940
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson. Um, But this idea that like Matt Jones

941
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: is anything special, Guys, look at who he's with mc

942
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: daniels and Belichick. Are you kidding me? The continuity like

943
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 1: the Jets offensive coordinator and head coach were first time

944
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:39,760
Speaker 1: ever ever in that position. Come on, even Tray Lance,

945
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 1: who we all agree is not very good and should

946
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 1: we talk about trade lanes real quick? I know you

947
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 1: want to do college football, Rob Did you watch any

948
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: of Texans Niners? Absolutely? Okay, I I small wager on

949
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 1: the Niners, um even though you know the Texas were

950
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: covering like n percent of the game. Do you know

951
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: this game was ten two seven with like ten minutes

952
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 1: left in the game, and you know why because all

953
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: Trey Lance did was check everything down, check down Central,

954
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:12,399
Speaker 1: We're not taking any risks, we're gonna and then finally

955
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter they have to open it up

956
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 1: and you can, Debot got loose a little bit. But

957
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: like you know, Trey Lance was on a massive leash

958
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: with George Kittle. I think we would agree best or Psycho,

959
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 1: best Titan in the in the NFL had two targets

960
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 1: the entire game against the Texans, the frigging Texans. They

961
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: did not want to risk anything. Let's hand it off

962
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:37,359
Speaker 1: to Elijah Mitchell, Let's hand it off to Debot. Let's

963
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: play it safe and get out of here with the

964
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: dove because Davis Mills is not coming into our House

965
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:45,319
Speaker 1: and beating us. Rex Burkhead ain't beating us, and the

966
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: Niners defense showed up like this idea that, like Tray Lance,

967
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: is remotely close to ready. Even after the game, Shanahan

968
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, Jimmy G should be back next we

969
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:57,720
Speaker 1: oh vot of confidence. Yeah, tray was great, but Jimmy

970
00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,320
Speaker 1: gis back next week for the for the game. To

971
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: put us on the play I'll say right now, if

972
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:05,760
Speaker 1: train Lance has to start next week, no chance, no chance.

973
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 1: The Niners meet the Rams. None Tray Lance and is

974
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 1: uh what second or third start going against Aaron Donald

975
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 1: von Miller and uh Floyd, no chance none, They'll annihilate

976
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 1: the Niners. And I, like Shannihan, lot Lance ain't ready.

977
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if he will be next year. All right, Um.

978
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: I wanted to end the pod just quickly on the

979
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:30,240
Speaker 1: college football playoffs, mostly because I had such a great

980
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 1: gambling college football playoff, told you guys Georgia would win,

981
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 1: and roles they did. I like the Alabama Cincinnati under

982
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: and I told you never to really bet against Nick

983
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 1: Saban with a month to prepare. So now let's put

984
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 1: those games behind us. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna

985
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 1: rip our ball. I didn't expect him to compete. I

986
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: will question his game plan, Rob, I don't know how

987
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 1: much to the game you watch. I watched every single

988
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 1: play because I'm gonna loser, and I had no New

989
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: Year's Eve plants because a lot of people have COVID

990
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:59,399
Speaker 1: and all his fears of like getting sick, I'm not sick,

991
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 1: to my knowledge. Um to my knowledge. Uh, Jim Horball

992
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 1: is facing the fastest, best defense in the country and

993
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 1: he decides to try some sideline to sideline place like

994
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 1: all these swing passes. I didn't get that at all.

995
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 1: I just didn't like. That's not how you beat a

996
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 1: fast defense. I know he was trying to open up

997
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 1: something deep downfield, and he had a couple of those

998
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 1: opportunities that never really materialized until late when it was

999
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:28,799
Speaker 1: a blowout. I just didn't love Hardball's game plan. Um

1000
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,319
Speaker 1: I I The Georgia Alabama thing is interesting in the

1001
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,399
Speaker 1: final rock, let me collect my thoughts. Who are you

1002
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: leaning toward in the championship which is a week from today?

1003
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 1: Obama easy, I'm not even gonna eas easy easy. Nick

1004
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: Saban owns his former coaches like nobody's ever seen before,

1005
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: like it's it's a I don't know what a fair

1006
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 1: come it's God's like Lebron and Toronto, Like it's one

1007
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 1: of those kind of situations. So do you want to

1008
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: guess the line if you haven't looked? Uhh. I think

1009
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: Alabama is going to be underdogs, But I think everybody

1010
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,319
Speaker 1: loves Georgia and what their defense has done all season.

1011
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,360
Speaker 1: I think they might view that game against Alabama is

1012
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: like the aberration. So I'm assuming it's gonna be Georgia

1013
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 1: two and a half, maybe three. So Georgia was six

1014
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 1: in the first game. I told you, guys, bet the

1015
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:24,720
Speaker 1: house on Bama. They're gonna win. One of my buddies,

1016
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 1: Dan listens all the time. He told me it was

1017
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: his biggest bet, but it was on Alabama. I told her.

1018
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 1: I was like, dude, what are you doing? Come on? Um?

1019
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 1: And he lost and Georgia is now favorite again. It

1020
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: will opened it two and a half. It's up to

1021
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:44,839
Speaker 1: three everywhere. Alabama as an underdog I think saves better

1022
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,319
Speaker 1: on like seven times in these six and one I

1023
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:53,360
Speaker 1: think I think I like Georgia row. Wow. So the

1024
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 1: thought process was, if you go back to the sec championship.

1025
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,080
Speaker 1: Georgia was in the playoff, right, it was just are

1026
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:04,800
Speaker 1: they gonn be the number one seed? Alabama could not lose.

1027
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 1: They had to win to get in, and Alabama smoked him.

1028
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 1: Now they wore down to nothing. But Alabama also lost

1029
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,879
Speaker 1: their number two receiver Mechi to a leg injury. He's

1030
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:19,399
Speaker 1: done for the year. So it's basically Jamison Williams uh

1031
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:22,279
Speaker 1: and then the run game, which is rejuvenated. But I

1032
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: have a feeling, by the way the total has gone

1033
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 1: down from fifty three and a half to fifty two

1034
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 1: and a half, I have a feeling Georgia wins a

1035
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:35,879
Speaker 1: low scoring game. It's not concrete. I've got some time,

1036
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: but um I did bet three Georgia getting a field goal.

1037
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 1: Um I hate going against Saban, but rob I that

1038
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 1: that Georgia team. So think about this. Alabama whooped the

1039
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: Cincinnati team that looked overwhelmed. I don't know that how

1040
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 1: many offensive players from Cincinnati will be in the pros.

1041
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 1: The quarterback and I don't know who else. Michigan has

1042
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 1: a team they got of players that defensive line did nothing.

1043
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,319
Speaker 1: Aidan Hutchinson, who might be the number one pick up

1044
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:12,319
Speaker 1: Pancake twice. I mean Georgia's if I think they could

1045
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: win the trenches here, I I think they might get

1046
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 1: up feels like a seventeen fourteen. I don't think there's

1047
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 1: gonna be as many points as uh as the total shows.

1048
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 1: I don't know why it's so high. If you remember

1049
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 1: last time they played, it was like twenty to nothing

1050
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 1: Georgia at halftime, and then they put in remember too

1051
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: for Jalen Hurts and then they wandered over town. That

1052
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:40,280
Speaker 1: game was incredible, well, the second half was incredible. Um So, anyways,

1053
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 1: we've got a lot of time to talk about college football.

1054
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 1: But this was a long Monday pod. NFL players are

1055
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: coming up, so you know, obviously there's gonna be a

1056
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 1: lot happening. Great time to gamble. NBA is back, Lakers

1057
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 1: gotta win on Sunday night. Does anybody care? All right?

1058
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 1: Monday night football? Rob, I don't even We're not gonna

1059
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 1: take a little of time on this. Steeler is Big

1060
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:04,320
Speaker 1: Ben's final home game at Hinesfield. They play the Browns.

1061
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 1: The Browns were as high as three and a half

1062
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 1: point favorites on Thursday, Ben announces it's just I get

1063
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 1: it into my final home game goes down to three.

1064
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:21,840
Speaker 1: I take the Steelers in the contest. Bengals upset the

1065
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Chargers win, and all of a sudden

1066
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 1: say goodbye to the playoffs Cleveland Browns. The line is

1067
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 1: now Brown's favored. This was pick them on Sunday. It

1068
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 1: is shifted to the I'm sorry the Steelers are favorite.

1069
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 1: The Pittsburgh Steelers down two point favorites. So the line

1070
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 1: has swung five points in about four days. Crazy. I

1071
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: think the Steelers get it done. But final plug for

1072
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 1: my son's fantasy team. He needs eleven points out of

1073
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb to get his name engraved on a trophy. Um,

1074
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 1: he's very fired up. Yah who says he has fifty

1075
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 1: chance to win. Chubb is projected at thirteen. If you'd

1076
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: better get it all right, guys, we'll talk to you

1077
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:07,920
