1 00:00:07,266 --> 00:00:09,706 Speaker 1: The Season with Peter Schreeger is a production of the 2 00:00:09,826 --> 00:00:23,946 Speaker 1: NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. What's Up, Everybody, Welcome to 3 00:00:23,986 --> 00:00:27,226 Speaker 1: the Season with Peter Schreger. I am Peter Schreeger. I 4 00:00:27,226 --> 00:00:29,746 Speaker 1: am the hosts of Good Morning Football on the NFL Network. 5 00:00:29,826 --> 00:00:32,466 Speaker 1: You can also read my stuff over at Fox sports 6 00:00:32,546 --> 00:00:34,906 Speaker 1: dot com and you can see me on Sundays on 7 00:00:35,026 --> 00:00:38,026 Speaker 1: Fox NFL Kickoff. But today, as I record this on 8 00:00:38,066 --> 00:00:42,106 Speaker 1: a Thursday morning in glorious New York City, I identify 9 00:00:42,146 --> 00:00:45,026 Speaker 1: as a New York sports fan. I am telling you 10 00:00:45,226 --> 00:00:48,626 Speaker 1: I am walking through the streets this morning, just mere 11 00:00:48,826 --> 00:00:52,706 Speaker 1: hours after the Yankees beat the Royals in a Big 12 00:00:52,746 --> 00:00:56,946 Speaker 1: Game three in Kansas City, the Mets eliminated the Phillies 13 00:00:57,066 --> 00:01:01,146 Speaker 1: in a Big Game four in City Field, and whereas 14 00:01:01,226 --> 00:01:04,186 Speaker 1: the New York Liberty are suiting up tonight to take 15 00:01:04,226 --> 00:01:07,186 Speaker 1: on the Minnesota Links in a WNBA five Finals match. Oh, 16 00:01:07,226 --> 00:01:10,066 Speaker 1: by the way, the Knicks won a preseason game. The 17 00:01:10,186 --> 00:01:13,386 Speaker 1: Rangers are hot in the preseason, and everything is coming 18 00:01:13,506 --> 00:01:17,706 Speaker 1: up New York. Except there's one team that is still 19 00:01:17,706 --> 00:01:21,026 Speaker 1: dominating the back pages, and that's the New York Jets. 20 00:01:21,746 --> 00:01:23,746 Speaker 1: And I'm going to talk a little bit about the 21 00:01:23,826 --> 00:01:26,666 Speaker 1: last seventy two hours in New York. I did an 22 00:01:26,666 --> 00:01:29,786 Speaker 1: emergency podcast in your feed day it happened, but Robert 23 00:01:29,866 --> 00:01:33,706 Speaker 1: Sala was fired rather abruptly Tuesday morning, and with forty 24 00:01:33,746 --> 00:01:36,786 Speaker 1: eight hours more for me to do my work as 25 00:01:36,826 --> 00:01:39,226 Speaker 1: a reporter and digest and put on that hat, I 26 00:01:39,266 --> 00:01:42,506 Speaker 1: can share with you some interesting details. Woody Johnson, the 27 00:01:42,546 --> 00:01:46,706 Speaker 1: ambassador was not happy after the game in London, and 28 00:01:47,066 --> 00:01:49,826 Speaker 1: yes there were talks on the flight back as to 29 00:01:49,866 --> 00:01:52,146 Speaker 1: whether it was time to rip off the band aid 30 00:01:52,706 --> 00:01:56,986 Speaker 1: and dispose of Robert Sala and maybe make some different 31 00:01:57,066 --> 00:02:01,346 Speaker 1: wholesale changes. What those are I don't know. As Monday began, 32 00:02:01,706 --> 00:02:05,706 Speaker 1: everybody got into the building and looking over their shoulders, 33 00:02:05,746 --> 00:02:08,546 Speaker 1: are we good? Are fine? Started working on a game plan. 34 00:02:08,906 --> 00:02:11,986 Speaker 1: But the big change was Robert Sala was going to 35 00:02:12,466 --> 00:02:16,066 Speaker 1: remove play calling duties from Nathaniel Hackett to Todd Downing 36 00:02:17,026 --> 00:02:20,186 Speaker 1: that was shared with Hackett. Hackett was understanding. He said, 37 00:02:20,186 --> 00:02:22,546 Speaker 1: I will do whatever is necessary for this team. I 38 00:02:22,546 --> 00:02:24,666 Speaker 1: have no ego. I will take a back seat. Am 39 00:02:24,666 --> 00:02:27,386 Speaker 1: I still employed? Yes, you're still employed. We're good. Hackett 40 00:02:27,426 --> 00:02:29,906 Speaker 1: not getting fired. The big change this week was going 41 00:02:29,986 --> 00:02:34,546 Speaker 1: to be play calling duties. Aaron Rodgers went on Pat 42 00:02:34,626 --> 00:02:39,146 Speaker 1: McAfee and revealed he did speak with the owner, Woody Johnson, 43 00:02:39,186 --> 00:02:40,866 Speaker 1: on a phone Monday night, but it was more about 44 00:02:40,866 --> 00:02:43,866 Speaker 1: how you're doing, how's your ankle? It wasn't so much 45 00:02:43,986 --> 00:02:47,186 Speaker 1: about should we fire Robert Sala. In fact, I take 46 00:02:47,266 --> 00:02:49,226 Speaker 1: Rogers on his word on this, and it's everything that 47 00:02:49,266 --> 00:02:52,866 Speaker 1: I heard. That idea was not suggested to Rodgers, and 48 00:02:52,906 --> 00:02:55,586 Speaker 1: from what I gather, whether or not it was done 49 00:02:55,666 --> 00:02:58,586 Speaker 1: so with the read between the lines or body language 50 00:02:58,666 --> 00:03:01,346 Speaker 1: or whatever. Rogers was not the judge, the jury and 51 00:03:01,386 --> 00:03:04,506 Speaker 1: the executioner on this one Tuesday morning. Everyone got to 52 00:03:04,546 --> 00:03:07,306 Speaker 1: the building, this is going to be rolled to the team, 53 00:03:07,346 --> 00:03:09,226 Speaker 1: and in a grander fashion that this was going to 54 00:03:09,266 --> 00:03:11,426 Speaker 1: be Todd Downing now calling the place for the New 55 00:03:11,506 --> 00:03:13,466 Speaker 1: York Jets. And instead of them just turning the page 56 00:03:13,466 --> 00:03:16,026 Speaker 1: and looking towards the Buffalo Bills, the bomb was dropped. 57 00:03:16,106 --> 00:03:18,986 Speaker 1: Robert Sala, after four years as head coach of the 58 00:03:18,986 --> 00:03:22,706 Speaker 1: New York Jets, was fired, and he takes his twenty 59 00:03:22,706 --> 00:03:26,466 Speaker 1: and thirty six regular Susan record with him and he 60 00:03:26,506 --> 00:03:31,146 Speaker 1: goes with some great shock within the building. Hackett was shocked. 61 00:03:31,586 --> 00:03:34,866 Speaker 1: I could tell you that multiple coaches were shocked, and 62 00:03:35,066 --> 00:03:38,266 Speaker 1: I again will tell you that this reverberated throughout the 63 00:03:38,506 --> 00:03:41,266 Speaker 1: team as well. You heard Tyler Conklin say that he 64 00:03:41,386 --> 00:03:43,666 Speaker 1: was shocked, and the tight end said that Aaron Rodgers 65 00:03:43,666 --> 00:03:45,426 Speaker 1: was as torn up by anybody. They love Robert sala 66 00:03:45,906 --> 00:03:48,346 Speaker 1: that's kind of the aside. Here. Sala, as you may 67 00:03:48,426 --> 00:03:50,826 Speaker 1: or may not know, has nine children living in the 68 00:03:50,866 --> 00:03:54,706 Speaker 1: New Jersey area. He is a good man, and people 69 00:03:54,786 --> 00:03:56,466 Speaker 1: roll their eyes say, I don't want to hear about 70 00:03:56,466 --> 00:03:58,226 Speaker 1: what a good guy is. Can he coach football or not? 71 00:03:58,306 --> 00:04:00,986 Speaker 1: You're making millions of dollars. I get it. He can 72 00:04:01,066 --> 00:04:03,546 Speaker 1: coach football. He's a really good coach, and I think 73 00:04:03,706 --> 00:04:05,266 Speaker 1: he might have another shot of being a head coach 74 00:04:05,266 --> 00:04:06,906 Speaker 1: where he can redeem himself. But at the end of 75 00:04:06,946 --> 00:04:10,186 Speaker 1: the day, the scoreboard wasn't what it was in the 76 00:04:10,186 --> 00:04:13,266 Speaker 1: eyes of what the Jets ownership thought it should be. 77 00:04:13,346 --> 00:04:15,826 Speaker 1: Two and three after two bad losses, one of them 78 00:04:15,866 --> 00:04:18,066 Speaker 1: in the rain against the Broncos and one of them 79 00:04:18,066 --> 00:04:21,546 Speaker 1: overseas was just a road that the Jets ownership felt 80 00:04:21,746 --> 00:04:24,066 Speaker 1: like had gone the distance and they weren't going to 81 00:04:24,106 --> 00:04:28,106 Speaker 1: be able to turn it around as they saw fit. 82 00:04:28,306 --> 00:04:32,186 Speaker 1: Now They did this move with the desire to kick 83 00:04:32,226 --> 00:04:37,226 Speaker 1: start this franchise, to light a fire under everybody's you 84 00:04:37,266 --> 00:04:40,226 Speaker 1: know what, and to see if Jeff Olbrick known as 85 00:04:40,306 --> 00:04:42,666 Speaker 1: Breck in the building, a former player and a very 86 00:04:42,666 --> 00:04:46,466 Speaker 1: good defensive coach, can get this team back on track 87 00:04:46,626 --> 00:04:49,026 Speaker 1: and save the season, and it might not take much. 88 00:04:49,546 --> 00:04:51,746 Speaker 1: The Jets play the Bills on Monday night. If they 89 00:04:51,786 --> 00:04:53,786 Speaker 1: win that game against the Bills, they will be three 90 00:04:53,786 --> 00:04:55,946 Speaker 1: and three and they will be at the very least 91 00:04:55,986 --> 00:05:00,066 Speaker 1: tied for first place in the division. Move on beyond that, 92 00:05:00,346 --> 00:05:02,746 Speaker 1: they have ten games on the East Coast coming up, 93 00:05:02,786 --> 00:05:04,186 Speaker 1: meaning they're not going to be flying all over to 94 00:05:04,226 --> 00:05:07,386 Speaker 1: London to San Francisco, to Nashville and everywhere in between, 95 00:05:07,426 --> 00:05:10,186 Speaker 1: with short weeks, long weeks, pretty much standard games and 96 00:05:10,226 --> 00:05:12,666 Speaker 1: that one o'clock window, all of them up and down 97 00:05:12,706 --> 00:05:15,226 Speaker 1: the Eastern Seaboard. They also have the fifth easiest schedule 98 00:05:15,306 --> 00:05:19,386 Speaker 1: left per sports Radar and all the different Elias Sports 99 00:05:19,426 --> 00:05:22,186 Speaker 1: Bureau numbers that have been crunched. I don't want to 100 00:05:22,226 --> 00:05:25,866 Speaker 1: say that this is a winnable game, but if you 101 00:05:25,906 --> 00:05:29,746 Speaker 1: look at Buffalo, this is one that I think Jets fans, 102 00:05:29,746 --> 00:05:32,466 Speaker 1: despite being seven point underdogs and everything know that they 103 00:05:32,506 --> 00:05:34,666 Speaker 1: can take. They've beaten the Bills in this building before. 104 00:05:34,746 --> 00:05:36,506 Speaker 1: They did it last year when Rogers went down in 105 00:05:36,506 --> 00:05:38,906 Speaker 1: Week one, and they have beaten them in years prior 106 00:05:38,946 --> 00:05:42,266 Speaker 1: as well. With Josh Allen having had scratching games, the 107 00:05:42,346 --> 00:05:44,106 Speaker 1: Jets defense is still one of the best in football. 108 00:05:44,106 --> 00:05:47,186 Speaker 1: And Olbrich now takes over as the head coach, and 109 00:05:47,826 --> 00:05:51,186 Speaker 1: on Thursday, two days removed from the news of the firing, 110 00:05:51,226 --> 00:05:54,186 Speaker 1: he came out and publicly announced that Todd Downing will 111 00:05:54,226 --> 00:05:58,706 Speaker 1: be calling the offense. Counting we'll see. He took over 112 00:05:58,946 --> 00:06:03,706 Speaker 1: in Tennessee and was a fine offensive coordinator there when 113 00:06:03,786 --> 00:06:06,826 Speaker 1: Arthur Smith was the head coach for a few years 114 00:06:06,906 --> 00:06:12,066 Speaker 1: there in Nashville, his tenure ended unceremoniously with an incident 115 00:06:12,106 --> 00:06:14,226 Speaker 1: that he regrets and has been paying for ever since. 116 00:06:14,546 --> 00:06:19,346 Speaker 1: Now he gets another opportunity for redemption himself. Jets are 117 00:06:19,666 --> 00:06:22,826 Speaker 1: such an interesting story. I had them as the number 118 00:06:22,826 --> 00:06:25,066 Speaker 1: one team in the AFC before the season started. I 119 00:06:25,106 --> 00:06:27,746 Speaker 1: have Rogers as my MVP. None of that is true 120 00:06:27,826 --> 00:06:31,186 Speaker 1: right now. And yet as we turn the page and 121 00:06:31,226 --> 00:06:34,546 Speaker 1: we head towards the weekend, it seems like there's still 122 00:06:34,586 --> 00:06:37,106 Speaker 1: a chance, and there's still is a glimmer of hope, 123 00:06:37,106 --> 00:06:39,146 Speaker 1: and there's still is a path Morgan Moses is going 124 00:06:39,226 --> 00:06:42,146 Speaker 1: to return, and you run Brice Hall and Brayln Allen 125 00:06:42,226 --> 00:06:45,586 Speaker 1: behind that offensive line with Elijah Vera Tucker and now 126 00:06:45,586 --> 00:06:50,346 Speaker 1: Morgan Moses right there upright, there's a chance. Monday Night's 127 00:06:50,346 --> 00:06:53,506 Speaker 1: going to be fascinating. And I think that Aaron Rodgers 128 00:06:53,626 --> 00:06:56,906 Speaker 1: is going to come out hair on fire and hopefully 129 00:06:56,906 --> 00:06:59,546 Speaker 1: looking to salvage this season for the New York Jets. 130 00:07:00,506 --> 00:07:04,026 Speaker 1: Robert Salad is gone. This was a shocker within the building, 131 00:07:04,946 --> 00:07:07,306 Speaker 1: and yet as we fast forward forty hours, we learn 132 00:07:07,866 --> 00:07:11,426 Speaker 1: not only does the world continue to spin, and not 133 00:07:11,466 --> 00:07:13,426 Speaker 1: only the Jets fans turn the page and say, okay, 134 00:07:13,466 --> 00:07:17,026 Speaker 1: what's next? New York sports fans have a lot going 135 00:07:17,066 --> 00:07:19,386 Speaker 1: on and if they don't win, and if they fade 136 00:07:19,386 --> 00:07:22,706 Speaker 1: away Jets fans, well, they've got these other squads that 137 00:07:22,706 --> 00:07:25,786 Speaker 1: they're leaning on. The Mets, the Yankees were a couple 138 00:07:25,826 --> 00:07:28,346 Speaker 1: games away, a couple wins away from a Subway series, 139 00:07:29,026 --> 00:07:32,146 Speaker 1: and the Jets, though they've dominated the headlines, they might 140 00:07:32,186 --> 00:07:34,146 Speaker 1: take a back seat if they don't figure this thing 141 00:07:34,146 --> 00:07:37,106 Speaker 1: out pretty soon. With no further ado, I want to 142 00:07:37,106 --> 00:07:40,346 Speaker 1: bring on our guest, because whereas Bill's Jets is a 143 00:07:40,346 --> 00:07:43,746 Speaker 1: fascinating game, I think the game of the week is 144 00:07:43,746 --> 00:07:47,946 Speaker 1: being played in Baltimore. It's Sunday, it's Commanders versus Ravens. 145 00:07:48,026 --> 00:07:50,586 Speaker 1: It has been hyped as the Battle of the Beltway. 146 00:07:50,666 --> 00:07:52,906 Speaker 1: CBS is sending their number one crew there in Jim 147 00:07:52,986 --> 00:07:57,186 Speaker 1: Nantz and Tony Romo. And yet despite all this talk 148 00:07:57,266 --> 00:07:59,586 Speaker 1: all this week about it being this great rivalry and 149 00:07:59,626 --> 00:08:02,906 Speaker 1: this being, you know, a geographic war and a battle 150 00:08:02,906 --> 00:08:05,386 Speaker 1: for land and fans, I don't know if I can 151 00:08:05,426 --> 00:08:07,946 Speaker 1: get there on that. So I'm bringing in Scott Van 152 00:08:07,986 --> 00:08:12,426 Speaker 1: Pelt as our guest to talk about the Ravens Commander's 153 00:08:12,466 --> 00:08:16,346 Speaker 1: game and more specifically, is this a rivalry or not. 154 00:08:17,306 --> 00:08:30,066 Speaker 1: We'll get to Scott into this. One of my favorite 155 00:08:30,106 --> 00:08:33,186 Speaker 1: people in sports media, also one of the best at 156 00:08:33,226 --> 00:08:35,746 Speaker 1: what he does both on Sports Center and now is 157 00:08:35,786 --> 00:08:38,426 Speaker 1: the Monday night football studio show host, which I think 158 00:08:38,506 --> 00:08:41,226 Speaker 1: is as good as anybody manning that desk, and he's 159 00:08:41,266 --> 00:08:43,386 Speaker 1: doing such a wonderful job in the glow up of 160 00:08:43,426 --> 00:08:46,026 Speaker 1: Monday night football in the last few years. But more 161 00:08:46,066 --> 00:08:50,746 Speaker 1: than anything, this guy represents a geographical area in this 162 00:08:50,786 --> 00:08:53,906 Speaker 1: country that I had to hit on with this Commander's 163 00:08:54,066 --> 00:08:57,946 Speaker 1: Ravens battle with no further ado. Svp mi'ster Scott Van Pelt. 164 00:08:57,986 --> 00:08:59,466 Speaker 1: Welcome to the season with Peter Shaker. 165 00:09:00,386 --> 00:09:03,986 Speaker 2: Peter, thank you. I appreciate this question by a text 166 00:09:04,186 --> 00:09:07,826 Speaker 2: was it's really really interesting thing. I'll let you explain 167 00:09:07,946 --> 00:09:10,706 Speaker 2: that sort of what it is you're trying to get to, 168 00:09:10,746 --> 00:09:12,946 Speaker 2: and then I'll try not to be long winded. But 169 00:09:12,946 --> 00:09:14,146 Speaker 2: there's a lot of layers to this. 170 00:09:15,066 --> 00:09:19,026 Speaker 1: Yeah. So I think for the listeners and viewers of 171 00:09:19,066 --> 00:09:23,266 Speaker 1: football who don't live in that market, they see Commanders 172 00:09:23,426 --> 00:09:26,786 Speaker 1: versus Ravens and they say, oh, backyard brawl, and there's 173 00:09:26,906 --> 00:09:29,306 Speaker 1: years and years of history to that, and those two 174 00:09:29,346 --> 00:09:32,626 Speaker 1: franchises and their fans hate each other. But I've been 175 00:09:32,666 --> 00:09:35,586 Speaker 1: watching football since the eighties. I also am married to 176 00:09:35,626 --> 00:09:39,946 Speaker 1: a girl from Pikesville, Maryland whose family is Baltimore's sports 177 00:09:39,986 --> 00:09:42,946 Speaker 1: through and through, and my father in law was a 178 00:09:42,986 --> 00:09:46,266 Speaker 1: Colts fan forever. They moved the team and then adopted 179 00:09:46,266 --> 00:09:49,026 Speaker 1: the Ravens. And I brought up, what do you make 180 00:09:49,066 --> 00:09:52,586 Speaker 1: of like redskinstin Commanders and he's like, well, they're there, 181 00:09:52,626 --> 00:09:55,346 Speaker 1: but it's not like this hated robbery like the Steelers 182 00:09:55,346 --> 00:09:58,466 Speaker 1: and the Colts, And yet I talked to other fans 183 00:09:58,506 --> 00:10:01,186 Speaker 1: of the Ravens and like, oh, we absolutely freaking hate 184 00:10:01,226 --> 00:10:03,426 Speaker 1: the Commanders and we hate the fact that they think 185 00:10:03,426 --> 00:10:05,506 Speaker 1: that there are something in our market. And there's all 186 00:10:05,506 --> 00:10:08,586 Speaker 1: these geographical jerry mandering lines to it, and I'm like, 187 00:10:08,946 --> 00:10:10,346 Speaker 1: I texted you last night, I'm like, can we just 188 00:10:10,346 --> 00:10:13,066 Speaker 1: get to the bottom of this, Like, is this a rivalry? 189 00:10:13,186 --> 00:10:15,666 Speaker 1: Is it not a rivalry? Is it a budding rivalry? 190 00:10:16,186 --> 00:10:19,226 Speaker 1: Tell us where you grew up, where your fan allegiances were, 191 00:10:19,306 --> 00:10:21,626 Speaker 1: and then like what to make of this being described 192 00:10:21,626 --> 00:10:23,426 Speaker 1: by the Battle of the Built Way, But like they've 193 00:10:23,426 --> 00:10:25,826 Speaker 1: only played seven times in franchise history. 194 00:10:26,386 --> 00:10:30,026 Speaker 2: It's not a thing. It's not even a little bit 195 00:10:30,386 --> 00:10:32,666 Speaker 2: of a thing. And I think there are a lot 196 00:10:32,706 --> 00:10:34,746 Speaker 2: of reasons why, and for the people that are listening 197 00:10:34,746 --> 00:10:38,546 Speaker 2: to this, if they're in Los Angeles or Chicago or 198 00:10:38,626 --> 00:10:40,746 Speaker 2: Dallas or whatever, Like if you just look at the map. 199 00:10:41,266 --> 00:10:43,706 Speaker 2: I always wondered, I don't have any insecurity about this, 200 00:10:43,706 --> 00:10:45,106 Speaker 2: because I don't care if you do or you don't. 201 00:10:45,106 --> 00:10:47,386 Speaker 2: But if you ask somebody out in Portland, Organ, he 202 00:10:47,426 --> 00:10:48,946 Speaker 2: can you know where Maryland is on the map? Like 203 00:10:48,946 --> 00:10:50,466 Speaker 2: I don't know. It's over there somewhere, like you know 204 00:10:50,506 --> 00:10:52,186 Speaker 2: what I mean, Like I don't even know if we're 205 00:10:52,266 --> 00:10:54,986 Speaker 2: kind of a weird shape. And there's anyway if you 206 00:10:55,026 --> 00:10:57,586 Speaker 2: put pins on a map and you put Baltimore and Washington, 207 00:10:58,106 --> 00:11:01,106 Speaker 2: they're real close. And so to your point, you're like, man, 208 00:11:02,106 --> 00:11:06,306 Speaker 2: they got some history there. Not really, not really. And 209 00:11:06,546 --> 00:11:09,546 Speaker 2: from a geographic standpoint, this area where I live, Okay, 210 00:11:09,586 --> 00:11:13,026 Speaker 2: I live very close to Washington, d C. Just in 211 00:11:13,026 --> 00:11:15,226 Speaker 2: the suburb outside of it. The area they call the 212 00:11:15,306 --> 00:11:20,146 Speaker 2: DMV meaning District Maryland and Virginia, and it does not 213 00:11:20,506 --> 00:11:23,306 Speaker 2: include Baltimore, and Baltimore is just fine with that. They're like, 214 00:11:23,346 --> 00:11:25,466 Speaker 2: we don't need We're not part of that, we don't 215 00:11:25,506 --> 00:11:29,986 Speaker 2: wish to be. They're their own thing. And when I 216 00:11:30,146 --> 00:11:32,866 Speaker 2: was young, all right, I'm an Orioles fan. But that's 217 00:11:32,906 --> 00:11:35,386 Speaker 2: because I was too young for the Senators but too 218 00:11:35,426 --> 00:11:39,146 Speaker 2: old for the Nationals, and so there was no baseball here. Well, 219 00:11:39,186 --> 00:11:41,426 Speaker 2: sure there was. It was in Baltimore. That was a drive. 220 00:11:41,946 --> 00:11:43,386 Speaker 2: But what do I care. I'm a little kid. We 221 00:11:43,426 --> 00:11:46,146 Speaker 2: go to Memorial Stadium. I was an oriol fan, still 222 00:11:46,226 --> 00:11:48,906 Speaker 2: am an Oriole fan. Right, I reached a point where 223 00:11:49,266 --> 00:11:52,146 Speaker 2: they were really bad, and then that's were really good. 224 00:11:52,346 --> 00:11:54,426 Speaker 2: And if I wanted to, I suppose I could have 225 00:11:54,506 --> 00:11:56,106 Speaker 2: just put on a new hat. But I don't know 226 00:11:56,146 --> 00:11:58,626 Speaker 2: how you land with this, Peter. I'm an adult. It 227 00:11:58,706 --> 00:12:00,626 Speaker 2: can't wait up one day and just put on a 228 00:12:00,666 --> 00:12:03,266 Speaker 2: new hat. That's not how well this stuff works. Man. 229 00:12:03,906 --> 00:12:06,666 Speaker 2: That's who you root for. I know Steve Busha, and 230 00:12:06,746 --> 00:12:08,266 Speaker 2: he's joked with me. I think he might be a 231 00:12:08,306 --> 00:12:10,746 Speaker 2: little bit serious. He's like, look, we got enough room 232 00:12:10,786 --> 00:12:11,946 Speaker 2: for you up here if you want to, you know, 233 00:12:11,986 --> 00:12:14,466 Speaker 2: switch allegiances and be a raven fan like Steeve. I 234 00:12:14,506 --> 00:12:17,506 Speaker 2: admire your organization and you and how you guys do stuff. 235 00:12:17,826 --> 00:12:20,426 Speaker 2: I think you're one of the model franchises. I can't 236 00:12:20,466 --> 00:12:25,186 Speaker 2: do that. I gotta stay true to my team. And 237 00:12:25,266 --> 00:12:29,226 Speaker 2: I think there is no Washington. I shouldn't say that. 238 00:12:29,866 --> 00:12:33,106 Speaker 2: Maybe there are people, maybe this generation, because Washington people 239 00:12:33,146 --> 00:12:36,186 Speaker 2: has been so bad for so long. You could have 240 00:12:36,306 --> 00:12:38,826 Speaker 2: done the same thing I did with the Orioles, which 241 00:12:38,946 --> 00:12:40,666 Speaker 2: is just sort of adopt that team up there. It 242 00:12:40,706 --> 00:12:42,026 Speaker 2: would have been a hell of a lot easier to 243 00:12:42,106 --> 00:12:44,906 Speaker 2: root for them. Recently, they've been really good and Washington 244 00:12:44,906 --> 00:12:47,826 Speaker 2: has been really bad. But you made the point about 245 00:12:47,826 --> 00:12:51,026 Speaker 2: how how they haven't played very often. I think Washington 246 00:12:51,026 --> 00:12:54,066 Speaker 2: people feel like they don't even acknowledge Baltimore. Baltimore people 247 00:12:54,066 --> 00:12:55,466 Speaker 2: probably have a little bit of like. 248 00:12:58,186 --> 00:13:01,346 Speaker 1: Just one is an inferiority. But there's this like, all right, 249 00:13:01,426 --> 00:13:05,346 Speaker 1: big DC shiny, we're blue collar, you know, Baltimore we 250 00:13:05,386 --> 00:13:06,146 Speaker 1: work on the docks. 251 00:13:06,906 --> 00:13:09,506 Speaker 2: Yes, And if Baltimore people feel like there's an there's 252 00:13:09,506 --> 00:13:12,986 Speaker 2: an inferiority of complex from DC people, that's that's well, 253 00:13:13,146 --> 00:13:16,106 Speaker 2: that's well earned rep. And so if Baltimore people have 254 00:13:16,146 --> 00:13:19,426 Speaker 2: a little bit of rephew, I don't blame them. And 255 00:13:19,506 --> 00:13:21,466 Speaker 2: that's always not kind of how I perceived it. But 256 00:13:21,826 --> 00:13:24,066 Speaker 2: like I remember once as a little kid, It's a 257 00:13:24,066 --> 00:13:27,266 Speaker 2: Monday night football game. It it was Colts Redskins, and there 258 00:13:27,346 --> 00:13:29,186 Speaker 2: was a friend that asked me if I wanted to go, 259 00:13:29,226 --> 00:13:31,506 Speaker 2: but they were Colts fans and they're like, listen, I 260 00:13:31,506 --> 00:13:34,546 Speaker 2: don't wear any Redskins stuff. So I didn't and it 261 00:13:34,786 --> 00:13:37,666 Speaker 2: but it wasn't like I felt some hostility or whatever else. 262 00:13:37,706 --> 00:13:40,106 Speaker 2: It was just like they And that was enduring an 263 00:13:40,106 --> 00:13:42,906 Speaker 2: era one when Baltimore had like Burt Jones and they 264 00:13:42,906 --> 00:13:44,946 Speaker 2: were good and they were they were close, but they 265 00:13:44,946 --> 00:13:47,506 Speaker 2: could never quite get over the hump. They had great 266 00:13:47,586 --> 00:13:50,106 Speaker 2: Raiders teams and great Steelers teams in that era. It 267 00:13:50,146 --> 00:13:54,906 Speaker 2: was hard anyway, There's there's a lot of just we 268 00:13:55,066 --> 00:13:57,986 Speaker 2: keep to ourselves. You keep to yourselves, and we really don't. 269 00:13:58,186 --> 00:14:00,386 Speaker 2: We don't mix much. But I think there's more to it, 270 00:14:00,426 --> 00:14:03,746 Speaker 2: and I think really would have Wills down to is that. 271 00:14:03,906 --> 00:14:06,226 Speaker 2: I believe the NFC East and I don't think there's 272 00:14:06,226 --> 00:14:08,706 Speaker 2: an R even otherwise. It's the best division in the 273 00:14:08,746 --> 00:14:12,266 Speaker 2: history of football. Every single team. Every single team has 274 00:14:12,426 --> 00:14:16,426 Speaker 2: been to multiple Super Bowls. Every team has won multiple 275 00:14:16,466 --> 00:14:19,546 Speaker 2: Super Bowls at least three, except for Philly, who has 276 00:14:19,626 --> 00:14:22,626 Speaker 2: the one. But they've got the one. So there's enough 277 00:14:22,746 --> 00:14:27,506 Speaker 2: hate Washington. People hate Dallas first, Yep, they certainly have 278 00:14:27,546 --> 00:14:31,426 Speaker 2: hate for the Giants, and they the Philly thing. There's 279 00:14:31,626 --> 00:14:34,626 Speaker 2: it's like, yeah, f you too. But that was never 280 00:14:35,026 --> 00:14:37,346 Speaker 2: at least for me when I was little, was always Dallas, 281 00:14:37,386 --> 00:14:39,986 Speaker 2: but then Washington, New York. There's plenty of hate there 282 00:14:40,026 --> 00:14:43,546 Speaker 2: because rivalries, Peter have to be we take something from 283 00:14:43,626 --> 00:14:46,746 Speaker 2: you that matters, and we prevent you from getting to 284 00:14:46,826 --> 00:14:49,386 Speaker 2: something you want to get to. That's the only way 285 00:14:49,506 --> 00:14:51,506 Speaker 2: rivalries are real. It can't just be we hate you, 286 00:14:52,506 --> 00:14:55,346 Speaker 2: and do we have some inferiority complex because we wish 287 00:14:55,466 --> 00:14:57,466 Speaker 2: we were you and we're not. That's not a rivalry. 288 00:14:57,466 --> 00:15:03,426 Speaker 2: That's that's just hate. Rivalries are born out of Pittsburgh Baltimore. 289 00:15:03,866 --> 00:15:06,826 Speaker 2: That's a rivalry and that's who Baltimore has. So I'm 290 00:15:06,906 --> 00:15:08,026 Speaker 2: rambling now, but. 291 00:15:08,026 --> 00:15:11,266 Speaker 1: I'm not nailed it because I'm I'm on the NFL 292 00:15:11,386 --> 00:15:13,346 Speaker 1: network and we're calling it the Battle of the Beltway 293 00:15:13,426 --> 00:15:15,186 Speaker 1: and we're showing these and it's like, oh, you know, 294 00:15:15,226 --> 00:15:18,306 Speaker 1: geographical lines are drawn, take us through the history of it, 295 00:15:18,386 --> 00:15:21,586 Speaker 1: so without dating yourself, the culture of the team. They 296 00:15:21,586 --> 00:15:24,506 Speaker 1: do the Mayfiler, they move out in eighty three, the 297 00:15:24,546 --> 00:15:27,186 Speaker 1: Redskins remain, they win, you know, all those Super Bowls 298 00:15:27,186 --> 00:15:29,586 Speaker 1: in the time, you know, between John Riggins and then 299 00:15:29,626 --> 00:15:32,546 Speaker 1: Mark Rippen and Doug Williams, and then the Ravens pop 300 00:15:32,666 --> 00:15:35,586 Speaker 1: back into the scene in ninety six. So there's this 301 00:15:35,746 --> 00:15:39,186 Speaker 1: like weird gap where there was no Baltimore football team, 302 00:15:39,226 --> 00:15:41,866 Speaker 1: and I think an entire generation of you know, that 303 00:15:42,026 --> 00:15:45,386 Speaker 1: region didn't even have to make a decision, right, No, 304 00:15:45,546 --> 00:15:48,386 Speaker 1: it's true, and and that that would have been a timeframe. 305 00:15:48,066 --> 00:15:52,986 Speaker 2: Where if Baltimore folks were on the mind to say, well, 306 00:15:53,066 --> 00:15:56,546 Speaker 2: let's hop on board with the Redskins now commanders, Well, 307 00:15:56,906 --> 00:16:01,346 Speaker 2: had it been, had that time overlapped with that decade 308 00:16:01,386 --> 00:16:04,066 Speaker 2: where Washington went to four Super Bowls and won three, 309 00:16:04,786 --> 00:16:07,626 Speaker 2: maybe some folks from up there might have been, but 310 00:16:07,706 --> 00:16:09,866 Speaker 2: I don't think so, man. I mean this is they 311 00:16:09,946 --> 00:16:13,466 Speaker 2: still have the Baltimore Colts marching band, Like, no, I didn't. 312 00:16:13,866 --> 00:16:16,866 Speaker 2: They didn't. They never gave that up, And that's such 313 00:16:16,906 --> 00:16:19,546 Speaker 2: am I allowed to cuts, Like, yeah, you beat me, 314 00:16:19,906 --> 00:16:24,106 Speaker 2: that's such a up thing. You then got the Browns 315 00:16:24,266 --> 00:16:27,626 Speaker 2: Like imagine if Washington lost the Redskins and then they 316 00:16:27,706 --> 00:16:30,986 Speaker 2: got the Eagles, Like, I don't think twenty five year 317 00:16:30,986 --> 00:16:34,226 Speaker 2: old people really congrasp just the depth of how messed 318 00:16:34,306 --> 00:16:36,746 Speaker 2: up that is. But that's what happened. And then they 319 00:16:36,826 --> 00:16:41,666 Speaker 2: name them something different. And now obviously the Ravens are again, 320 00:16:41,706 --> 00:16:43,626 Speaker 2: I believe, one of the one of the really excellent 321 00:16:43,666 --> 00:16:46,266 Speaker 2: franchises in the sport. But I don't think there was 322 00:16:46,506 --> 00:16:49,626 Speaker 2: much bleed. I don't think there was much like sort 323 00:16:49,666 --> 00:16:53,186 Speaker 2: of people didn't migrate south to root for Washington because 324 00:16:53,306 --> 00:16:56,786 Speaker 2: Washington reached that point, you know, post Jack can't cook, 325 00:16:56,826 --> 00:16:58,986 Speaker 2: and post all those Super Bowls where they've been kind 326 00:16:59,026 --> 00:17:03,746 Speaker 2: of a drift ever since. So in the way that 327 00:17:03,906 --> 00:17:06,186 Speaker 2: I was an oriole fan, I don't feel like Baltimore 328 00:17:06,186 --> 00:17:09,346 Speaker 2: people ever became Washington football fans. And then they got 329 00:17:09,346 --> 00:17:11,866 Speaker 2: the they got the Ravens back, and then pretty quickly 330 00:17:11,906 --> 00:17:15,546 Speaker 2: they became a really an excellent franchise and they've obviously 331 00:17:15,546 --> 00:17:17,026 Speaker 2: won some Super Bowls and whatever else. 332 00:17:17,066 --> 00:17:21,226 Speaker 3: So having said all that, this week is really well, 333 00:17:21,266 --> 00:17:24,186 Speaker 3: that's what I was gonna say, Like that takes the 334 00:17:24,226 --> 00:17:26,386 Speaker 3: stinger out of like the history, but like do we 335 00:17:26,466 --> 00:17:29,866 Speaker 3: need history, because let's just start now and you've got, yeah, 336 00:17:30,026 --> 00:17:32,346 Speaker 3: two of the best teams in football with probably the 337 00:17:32,346 --> 00:17:32,826 Speaker 3: two most. 338 00:17:32,826 --> 00:17:36,026 Speaker 1: Entertaining quarterbacks in the league. It's like, don't worry about 339 00:17:36,026 --> 00:17:38,106 Speaker 1: it because I've already like seen like pieces being like 340 00:17:38,586 --> 00:17:41,346 Speaker 1: this market and these two teams and they're both are 341 00:17:41,386 --> 00:17:43,626 Speaker 1: living within forty five and I'm like, I don't think 342 00:17:43,626 --> 00:17:45,546 Speaker 1: you do the rich history of this. I think you 343 00:17:45,626 --> 00:17:47,986 Speaker 1: start now and say this could be really cool over 344 00:17:47,986 --> 00:17:49,266 Speaker 1: the next twenty years. 345 00:17:49,666 --> 00:17:54,626 Speaker 2: You could do the rich history that's real. Washington has it. 346 00:17:54,626 --> 00:17:58,826 Speaker 2: It's dusty, but it's there. Baltimore has it. It's more recent. 347 00:17:59,026 --> 00:18:01,546 Speaker 2: So I mean, you could talk about franchises that have 348 00:18:01,906 --> 00:18:04,546 Speaker 2: had moments of high achievement and that Baltimore is living 349 00:18:04,586 --> 00:18:07,186 Speaker 2: in a time where they're feel awful close to adding 350 00:18:07,226 --> 00:18:10,626 Speaker 2: to it. But the idea is that they were ever 351 00:18:10,666 --> 00:18:13,426 Speaker 2: in each other's way, or ever had this game for 352 00:18:13,546 --> 00:18:17,426 Speaker 2: each other, or ever played in games that were particularly meaningful. 353 00:18:17,706 --> 00:18:19,986 Speaker 2: None of that's true. This week is the best game 354 00:18:20,026 --> 00:18:23,906 Speaker 2: on the schedule. And the fact that Jayden, I know 355 00:18:24,026 --> 00:18:26,706 Speaker 2: his favorite player is the quarterback for Baltimore. 356 00:18:26,786 --> 00:18:29,706 Speaker 1: He has he downplayed it this week, but I remember 357 00:18:29,826 --> 00:18:32,026 Speaker 1: all the stuff in the combine, like this guy grew 358 00:18:32,106 --> 00:18:34,066 Speaker 1: up wanting to be Lamar Jack, which is pretty cool. 359 00:18:34,066 --> 00:18:35,026 Speaker 1: I like that he downplayed it. 360 00:18:35,066 --> 00:18:38,026 Speaker 2: Also, now what, I think that's clever. Don't don't don't 361 00:18:38,186 --> 00:18:40,746 Speaker 2: don't let things be bigger than they need to be. 362 00:18:41,226 --> 00:18:44,626 Speaker 2: I believe that that's a guy he has great affinity for. 363 00:18:44,746 --> 00:18:46,786 Speaker 2: And by the way, why wouldn't he. Lamar is an 364 00:18:46,866 --> 00:18:50,266 Speaker 2: incredible player who can He's five through five weeks, he's 365 00:18:50,306 --> 00:18:52,746 Speaker 2: got better numbers than he had last year. But I 366 00:18:52,746 --> 00:18:54,346 Speaker 2: thought about that the other night. I thought, you know, 367 00:18:54,466 --> 00:18:56,946 Speaker 2: last year, halfway through the year, we're like who's the MVP, right, 368 00:18:57,026 --> 00:18:59,226 Speaker 2: There wasn't an obvious guy. So the fact that Lamar's 369 00:18:59,306 --> 00:19:02,306 Speaker 2: numbers are better, I think it's just, look, he's a 370 00:19:02,306 --> 00:19:05,346 Speaker 2: great player. We all understand that. Is Jade Daniels a 371 00:19:05,386 --> 00:19:07,746 Speaker 2: great player. I don't know up. I mean, we don't 372 00:19:07,746 --> 00:19:10,506 Speaker 2: have to know the answer to that. But everything Peter 373 00:19:10,586 --> 00:19:13,106 Speaker 2: that I was told about him in the off season 374 00:19:13,146 --> 00:19:15,666 Speaker 2: by people that I know, they're within the organization, that 375 00:19:15,786 --> 00:19:19,626 Speaker 2: he was a guy that commanded the room, had great confidence, 376 00:19:19,706 --> 00:19:23,706 Speaker 2: but not not a hint of arrogance, just wowed everyone 377 00:19:23,906 --> 00:19:26,826 Speaker 2: with how he carried himself. And that's before he played 378 00:19:26,826 --> 00:19:29,346 Speaker 2: a game. I heard all that. But the easiest thing 379 00:19:29,346 --> 00:19:31,266 Speaker 2: in the world to do is to sell optimism in 380 00:19:31,306 --> 00:19:34,026 Speaker 2: the off season. Everybody does it. So I'm like, all right, 381 00:19:34,106 --> 00:19:36,026 Speaker 2: let's see it. And then they beat the Giants. But 382 00:19:36,506 --> 00:19:38,586 Speaker 2: I gave I gave Clip a bunch of I'm like, hey, 383 00:19:38,586 --> 00:19:40,666 Speaker 2: how about a touchdown? How about that? And he was like, 384 00:19:40,746 --> 00:19:43,906 Speaker 2: can't we got to figure some reto stuff out. Well, 385 00:19:43,906 --> 00:19:46,466 Speaker 2: then they go to Cincinnati and you're like, you're gonna 386 00:19:46,506 --> 00:19:48,306 Speaker 2: You're gonna trust the dude on a fourth and flour 387 00:19:48,386 --> 00:19:52,426 Speaker 2: with a five point lead. Yes, You're gonna end zero 388 00:19:52,546 --> 00:19:54,266 Speaker 2: and like, you dropped that out of the sky. My 389 00:19:54,306 --> 00:19:56,346 Speaker 2: boy stand for Steve asked me on our part, He's like, 390 00:19:56,386 --> 00:19:58,306 Speaker 2: what was more impressive the catcher to throw? I was like, 391 00:19:58,346 --> 00:20:01,626 Speaker 2: the catch was thick, but he's getting blasted and throws 392 00:20:01,666 --> 00:20:04,706 Speaker 2: that ball exactly in the only place that it could be. 393 00:20:05,226 --> 00:20:07,626 Speaker 2: I thought that was incredible. And then he stacks another 394 00:20:07,666 --> 00:20:10,546 Speaker 2: win at Arizona, which at that point I'm like, I don 395 00:20:10,626 --> 00:20:13,186 Speaker 2: know what Arizona is. Well, then they go beat San Francisco, 396 00:20:13,306 --> 00:20:16,986 Speaker 2: so you're like, at some point, I'm going to stop 397 00:20:17,146 --> 00:20:20,226 Speaker 2: trying to diminish it and just say they've won, no doubt. 398 00:20:20,346 --> 00:20:22,066 Speaker 2: They won four in a row for the first time 399 00:20:22,106 --> 00:20:24,586 Speaker 2: in since two thousand and eight or something like that. 400 00:20:25,306 --> 00:20:28,546 Speaker 2: But this week doesn't have to be a rivalry game. 401 00:20:28,706 --> 00:20:31,466 Speaker 2: It's just this is a test. This is a moment 402 00:20:31,666 --> 00:20:36,826 Speaker 2: for Washington. Jade Daniels. You go up north and share 403 00:20:36,826 --> 00:20:38,866 Speaker 2: the field for sixty minutes with one of the real 404 00:20:38,946 --> 00:20:41,386 Speaker 2: bullies in this league, and see what you got. And 405 00:20:41,626 --> 00:20:43,346 Speaker 2: if they win, it doesn't mean they're going to the 406 00:20:43,346 --> 00:20:45,226 Speaker 2: super Bowl. And if they lose, it doesn't mean they stuck. 407 00:20:45,506 --> 00:20:49,306 Speaker 2: But I do think mid October chance to see what 408 00:20:49,426 --> 00:20:52,266 Speaker 2: you're working with. You couldn't ask for a whole lot 409 00:20:52,386 --> 00:20:56,626 Speaker 2: more if you're Washington and you the bandwagon is already 410 00:20:56,746 --> 00:20:57,946 Speaker 2: reving back up down there. 411 00:20:57,986 --> 00:21:00,986 Speaker 1: Peter, I love it, and it's you know, I obviously 412 00:21:01,026 --> 00:21:03,026 Speaker 1: I speak with Cliff as well, but Adam Peters is 413 00:21:03,026 --> 00:21:04,506 Speaker 1: a pala mine and we spent a lot of time 414 00:21:04,546 --> 00:21:07,066 Speaker 1: together this summer. And when he was talking about building 415 00:21:07,306 --> 00:21:09,906 Speaker 1: the roster, it was they started with all these veterans. 416 00:21:09,906 --> 00:21:11,586 Speaker 1: They knew they were drafting a quarterback. They didn't know 417 00:21:11,586 --> 00:21:13,266 Speaker 1: if it was going to be Mayor Daniels based on 418 00:21:13,306 --> 00:21:15,866 Speaker 1: how it fell. But they went into the whole thing 419 00:21:15,866 --> 00:21:18,306 Speaker 1: and they're like, all right, we're gonna bring in you know, 420 00:21:18,666 --> 00:21:23,546 Speaker 1: Austin Eckler and Zach Ertz and Bobby Wagner and Frankie 421 00:21:23,666 --> 00:21:27,346 Speaker 1: Luvo and then Marcus Mariota. Now, originally I don't know 422 00:21:27,346 --> 00:21:29,986 Speaker 1: if this has been reported, but they were hot on Darnald. 423 00:21:30,586 --> 00:21:33,066 Speaker 1: Darnald signs with the Vikings. They pivoted. They're like, all right, 424 00:21:33,146 --> 00:21:35,826 Speaker 1: Mariota is a nice backup plan for whoever this young 425 00:21:35,906 --> 00:21:38,866 Speaker 1: quarterback is. It's almost like they built this thing to 426 00:21:38,906 --> 00:21:41,506 Speaker 1: make sure there at least were those veteran voices for Jaden, 427 00:21:41,506 --> 00:21:43,666 Speaker 1: and then Jaden got there and you know all the 428 00:21:43,666 --> 00:21:45,386 Speaker 1: stories that I know, like it's there at four am 429 00:21:45,386 --> 00:21:47,906 Speaker 1: and doesn't leave, and it's he's the team leader despite 430 00:21:47,906 --> 00:21:50,826 Speaker 1: all those veterans. 431 00:21:50,106 --> 00:21:54,346 Speaker 2: And it's been from the jump. It's been a consistent, 432 00:21:54,986 --> 00:21:58,506 Speaker 2: mature approach. And you see it on the field. The poise, 433 00:21:58,626 --> 00:22:02,626 Speaker 2: the fact that he's unhurried and unbothered. That's rare, really 434 00:22:02,666 --> 00:22:08,066 Speaker 2: really rare. Jerry McLaurin came in studio with us. I 435 00:22:08,066 --> 00:22:09,906 Speaker 2: think it must have been about May. It was around it. 436 00:22:10,186 --> 00:22:12,826 Speaker 2: It was during the time of camp, and he was 437 00:22:12,906 --> 00:22:14,866 Speaker 2: you know, you get the on air Terry who's awesome, 438 00:22:14,946 --> 00:22:16,866 Speaker 2: and then you get the offerer who's just as awesome. 439 00:22:16,866 --> 00:22:20,266 Speaker 2: But he was not. He wasn't bs and insane. Hey, 440 00:22:20,346 --> 00:22:23,146 Speaker 2: it's really he's like, gave you like that that earnest, 441 00:22:23,266 --> 00:22:27,506 Speaker 2: big eyed like telling you like this, dude's impressive and 442 00:22:28,586 --> 00:22:30,666 Speaker 2: I think the world of Terry. He's going to be 443 00:22:30,706 --> 00:22:32,906 Speaker 2: so good at this whenever he's done. Obviously he's a 444 00:22:32,946 --> 00:22:34,826 Speaker 2: young man, he's got a ton of runway in front 445 00:22:34,866 --> 00:22:38,626 Speaker 2: of him. But he's just the way he spoke. I 446 00:22:38,666 --> 00:22:41,346 Speaker 2: was like, okay, but listen, as a guy that was 447 00:22:41,426 --> 00:22:44,226 Speaker 2: lucky enough to enjoy those years of greatness with Gibbs 448 00:22:44,226 --> 00:22:46,426 Speaker 2: at all. It's going to take more than a guy 449 00:22:47,066 --> 00:22:52,026 Speaker 2: saying something in may to get me even remotely accepted. 450 00:22:52,146 --> 00:22:54,866 Speaker 2: I mean, there's a little scar tissue here, Charlie Brown 451 00:22:54,906 --> 00:22:57,106 Speaker 2: running up to kick the football. I don't think there's 452 00:22:57,106 --> 00:22:59,586 Speaker 2: a ton of that around here. But that Monday, even 453 00:22:59,626 --> 00:23:02,106 Speaker 2: even that giant one, I'm like, all right, okay, But 454 00:23:02,146 --> 00:23:04,466 Speaker 2: then the Monday night, you didn't have to squint hard 455 00:23:04,466 --> 00:23:06,146 Speaker 2: to see it. Man, it was right there in front 456 00:23:06,186 --> 00:23:09,866 Speaker 2: of you. Was really obvious that when when the game 457 00:23:09,946 --> 00:23:12,186 Speaker 2: was there to be one, and our guys on countdown 458 00:23:12,226 --> 00:23:13,906 Speaker 2: make this point all the time. Like the reason these 459 00:23:13,906 --> 00:23:15,826 Speaker 2: guys get paid the money, the reason Mahomes is worth 460 00:23:15,826 --> 00:23:17,666 Speaker 2: every dollar he gets is if there's a chance to 461 00:23:17,706 --> 00:23:20,426 Speaker 2: win the game, he's gonna win the game, period. Like 462 00:23:20,506 --> 00:23:22,346 Speaker 2: so many games are coin flip games. You've got to 463 00:23:22,346 --> 00:23:24,386 Speaker 2: be great in those moments. Kirk Cousins has been great 464 00:23:24,386 --> 00:23:27,386 Speaker 2: in those moments. He's last two for them, Well, in 465 00:23:27,466 --> 00:23:30,426 Speaker 2: that moment the game is there to be one, he 466 00:23:30,586 --> 00:23:33,226 Speaker 2: was great. And against Cleveland, I never got to a 467 00:23:33,266 --> 00:23:37,706 Speaker 2: moment because Cleveland that's a whole other story. It's it's 468 00:23:37,786 --> 00:23:40,826 Speaker 2: there's just a in five games, there's enough layers where 469 00:23:40,826 --> 00:23:42,466 Speaker 2: you're like, I think about I might be laced enough 470 00:23:42,466 --> 00:23:45,146 Speaker 2: to shoes to go kick the football here, Peter, you 471 00:23:45,226 --> 00:23:49,306 Speaker 2: might laugh at me. By by Halloween or Thanksgiving, you 472 00:23:49,386 --> 00:23:51,466 Speaker 2: might be going, hey, remember, how's the football kick going? Man? 473 00:23:51,666 --> 00:23:52,706 Speaker 2: I'll be like what he wants? 474 00:23:52,866 --> 00:23:54,426 Speaker 1: And then you tip your cap. You tip your cap 475 00:23:54,466 --> 00:23:55,546 Speaker 1: to Lucy and you say. 476 00:23:55,346 --> 00:23:58,386 Speaker 2: Hey, I fell for Did you know that, Lucy? And 477 00:23:58,986 --> 00:24:01,826 Speaker 2: I did not know that. Yeah, it was a big deal. 478 00:24:01,866 --> 00:24:03,426 Speaker 2: When I was little, I thought that was really cool. 479 00:24:04,346 --> 00:24:06,866 Speaker 1: Well, signature show's on the bottom. I like that. That's good. 480 00:24:07,786 --> 00:24:09,866 Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna wrap this is so good real quick. 481 00:24:10,666 --> 00:24:12,986 Speaker 1: You're coming to my town on Monday night, or at 482 00:24:13,066 --> 00:24:14,506 Speaker 1: least the game is.

Uh. It was one of those ones 491 00:24:33,386 --> 00:24:35,386 Speaker 2: that when the schedule comes out, you go, that's a 492 00:24:35,426 --> 00:24:38,626 Speaker 2: good one, and now you go, oh, well, what do 493 00:24:38,706 --> 00:24:42,066 Speaker 2: we have here? Man? The fact that the fact that 494 00:24:42,106 --> 00:24:45,626 Speaker 2: there is a change in at the OC, the play 495 00:24:45,666 --> 00:24:48,346 Speaker 2: call is going to be different where Salah was supposedly 496 00:24:48,426 --> 00:24:51,506 Speaker 2: going to go for Hackett, then he gets us, and 497 00:24:51,546 --> 00:24:55,266 Speaker 2: then of course Aaron goes on with Paton like wasn't me, 498 00:24:56,066 --> 00:24:58,466 Speaker 2: And whether he was or he wasn't, like, it's just 499 00:24:58,986 --> 00:25:02,226 Speaker 2: he's been given the autonomy and the buy in where 500 00:25:02,266 --> 00:25:04,146 Speaker 2: it's going to be hard for people to just believe 501 00:25:04,186 --> 00:25:07,026 Speaker 2: that he doesn't have any input that it doesn't matter 502 00:25:07,026 --> 00:25:09,626 Speaker 2: as much as the fact that I'm interested in Jason 503 00:25:09,866 --> 00:25:13,626 Speaker 2: and Ryan and Marcus's perspective as players. When Woody Johnson 504 00:25:13,666 --> 00:25:16,866 Speaker 2: does this, now it's on all the players to make 505 00:25:16,866 --> 00:25:20,546 Speaker 2: it the right decision. It's on you to go make 506 00:25:20,746 --> 00:25:25,066 Speaker 2: this look like it wasn't just a catastrophic knee jerk reaction. 507 00:25:25,666 --> 00:25:30,146 Speaker 2: That's legitimately fascinating because of the city you're in, because 508 00:25:30,186 --> 00:25:33,866 Speaker 2: of the quarterback, and because it's a franchise that's starving 509 00:25:33,946 --> 00:25:37,226 Speaker 2: for a moment. But then sometimes with these Monday night games. 510 00:25:37,266 --> 00:25:39,186 Speaker 2: You know, maybe you have one side that's interesting. In 511 00:25:39,226 --> 00:25:41,906 Speaker 2: the other it's like, well, now you got Buffalo and 512 00:25:42,226 --> 00:25:47,586 Speaker 2: two Mondays two Mondays ago, Josh Allen's got five touchdowns 513 00:25:47,626 --> 00:25:49,706 Speaker 2: and a half four passing touchdowns. They look like a 514 00:25:49,746 --> 00:25:52,946 Speaker 2: video game. Then they places Baltimore and Houston. It's like, yike, 515 00:25:53,506 --> 00:25:55,906 Speaker 2: what are we doing here? If they lose this game? 516 00:25:55,946 --> 00:25:57,386 Speaker 2: They've losted three in a row, and the Jets are 517 00:25:57,386 --> 00:26:00,026 Speaker 2: in first place in the AFC East and we it's on, 518 00:26:00,666 --> 00:26:04,146 Speaker 2: so we don't have any shortage of storylines. And I 519 00:26:04,186 --> 00:26:06,906 Speaker 2: think we're just you know how this gets in and 520 00:26:06,946 --> 00:26:09,826 Speaker 2: you live it. We're gonna have to remind ourselves not 521 00:26:09,906 --> 00:26:12,226 Speaker 2: to go so crazy on the Jets talk that we 522 00:26:12,346 --> 00:26:15,306 Speaker 2: leave ourselves no down to Buffalo, which is equally as interesting, 523 00:26:15,506 --> 00:26:17,746 Speaker 2: and it's hard. You got to police yourself. You got 524 00:26:17,746 --> 00:26:20,386 Speaker 2: to try to make sure that we have a rundown 525 00:26:20,386 --> 00:26:21,706 Speaker 2: and we don't just rip it up and throw it 526 00:26:21,746 --> 00:26:23,386 Speaker 2: out the window. But yeah, man, it's going to be 527 00:26:23,746 --> 00:26:27,826 Speaker 2: a legitimately fascinating sort of next couple of weeks in 528 00:26:28,186 --> 00:26:30,386 Speaker 2: New York City with with Aaron and the Jets and 529 00:26:30,906 --> 00:26:34,026 Speaker 2: equally so with Buffalo. So we'll we'll see you Monday night. 530 00:26:34,266 --> 00:26:37,106 Speaker 1: You were talking about the ethos of the commander's fan 531 00:26:37,186 --> 00:26:39,226 Speaker 1: and you know, putting yourself in those shoes and wanting 532 00:26:39,266 --> 00:26:41,626 Speaker 1: to believe Jets fan. It has been so fun to 533 00:26:41,706 --> 00:26:45,026 Speaker 1: track it. So everyone wanted him fired after the Denver game, 534 00:26:45,146 --> 00:26:48,026 Speaker 1: sala he doesn't get fired. Then everyone him fired after 535 00:26:48,026 --> 00:26:50,706 Speaker 1: the Vikings team and they actually fire him, and the 536 00:26:50,746 --> 00:26:54,106 Speaker 1: fans are upset that they actually fired him, and it's what. 537 00:26:56,986 --> 00:26:58,866 Speaker 2: You gotta whack him? You're gonna whack the guy you 538 00:26:58,946 --> 00:27:01,946 Speaker 2: didn't whack hom tight What are we doing exactly that? 539 00:27:02,746 --> 00:27:05,586 Speaker 1: And then it's why isn't Hackett fire? Well, the hacker 540 00:27:05,786 --> 00:27:08,346 Speaker 1: is the motive. And now you've got You've got you 541 00:27:08,346 --> 00:27:10,626 Speaker 1: know Downing who's gonna be calling plays? And Todd Downing 542 00:27:10,626 --> 00:27:12,546 Speaker 1: I've known him many years. I go back many years 543 00:27:12,546 --> 00:27:15,426 Speaker 1: for Todd. Great dude, and I'm wishing him the best. 544 00:27:15,426 --> 00:27:17,266 Speaker 1: But he's not Bill Walsh either. But all the fans 545 00:27:17,266 --> 00:27:19,066 Speaker 1: are like, all right, that's solved, and now it's we 546 00:27:19,106 --> 00:27:22,386 Speaker 1: heading towards the weekend. Jets fans are like, oh, if 547 00:27:22,386 --> 00:27:24,986 Speaker 1: we win this game, we've got the fifth easiest schedule 548 00:27:24,986 --> 00:27:26,706 Speaker 1: in the league. We've got ten games on the East 549 00:27:26,746 --> 00:27:28,866 Speaker 1: Coast and they're like, we're hosting a playoff game again, 550 00:27:28,906 --> 00:27:30,866 Speaker 1: and it's like so good to just watch it, and 551 00:27:30,906 --> 00:27:32,706 Speaker 1: it's it's the life of being a football fan. It's 552 00:27:32,746 --> 00:27:33,186 Speaker 1: so good. 553 00:27:33,306 --> 00:27:39,066 Speaker 2: Football is uniquely constructed or and I think people can 554 00:27:39,106 --> 00:27:41,986 Speaker 2: live through this from the fantasy lens, right, your team thinks, 555 00:27:42,026 --> 00:27:44,666 Speaker 2: but then it's like waivers. Maybe you get a guy 556 00:27:45,546 --> 00:27:47,186 Speaker 2: and you start looking at your line up being like, 557 00:27:47,426 --> 00:27:50,346 Speaker 2: we win this. We're all right, you got your little 558 00:27:50,386 --> 00:27:52,466 Speaker 2: fantasy lens like that. But then when it comes to 559 00:27:52,506 --> 00:27:55,066 Speaker 2: the far more important, at least to me, actual on 560 00:27:55,186 --> 00:27:58,146 Speaker 2: field thing with your team, you talk yourself out of it, 561 00:27:58,186 --> 00:28:01,626 Speaker 2: you talk yourself into it. But this isn't this isn't 562 00:28:01,626 --> 00:28:04,666 Speaker 2: make the lead, Peter. If they win, then they're three 563 00:28:04,706 --> 00:28:08,186 Speaker 2: and three and Buffalo's suddenly on a backslide, and all 564 00:28:08,186 --> 00:28:10,906 Speaker 2: of a sudden, the world looks different. But it's wild, right, 565 00:28:10,946 --> 00:28:12,946 Speaker 2: get rid of the guy whack the bum than they do, 566 00:28:13,026 --> 00:28:15,346 Speaker 2: and everyone's like, let us not do anything, rash Man. 567 00:28:15,426 --> 00:28:19,306 Speaker 2: It's uh, it's luckily for you and I we're in 568 00:28:19,346 --> 00:28:21,906 Speaker 2: the we're in the content business, and this nobody, never 569 00:28:22,186 --> 00:28:25,666 Speaker 2: ending machine that generates stuff for us to uh to 570 00:28:25,746 --> 00:28:26,066 Speaker 2: chew on. 571 00:28:26,906 --> 00:28:28,946 Speaker 1: Uh, we're gonna wrap here. I'll just say and I 572 00:28:28,946 --> 00:28:30,866 Speaker 1: mean this obviously, I've been such a big fan of 573 00:28:30,866 --> 00:28:33,546 Speaker 1: your work on Sports Center and of course with Risillo 574 00:28:33,626 --> 00:28:36,426 Speaker 1: and then The Masters and now the Late night Sports Center. 575 00:28:36,466 --> 00:28:38,546 Speaker 1: But I meant at what I said in the build up. 576 00:28:38,586 --> 00:28:41,306 Speaker 1: I have the utmost respect for these studio hosts and 577 00:28:41,346 --> 00:28:42,986 Speaker 1: these point guards.

I know he gave you 593 00:29:15,346 --> 00:29:17,826 Speaker 1: that one and he shared treasures the fact you do. 594 00:29:17,906 --> 00:29:21,786 Speaker 1: I love that. Yes, that is an angry run scepter. 595 00:29:21,946 --> 00:29:23,866 Speaker 1: It's one of our favorite sets given. 596 00:29:23,626 --> 00:29:26,746 Speaker 2: Out well, and he gave me one at the Pro 597 00:29:26,826 --> 00:29:28,866 Speaker 2: Bowl last year, just as I think as a shout out. 598 00:29:28,906 --> 00:29:33,426 Speaker 2: Because like on Sports Center, I will say, Man, you know, 599 00:29:34,266 --> 00:29:35,866 Speaker 2: it looks like I said, it looks like an anger, 600 00:29:35,906 --> 00:29:37,946 Speaker 2: I said, but I'll leave at the Kyle. That's his segment, 601 00:29:38,026 --> 00:29:40,426 Speaker 2: and of course he puts it in the segment thing, 602 00:29:40,506 --> 00:29:43,746 Speaker 2: it's the mess segment. But but but the point I'm 603 00:29:43,826 --> 00:29:47,426 Speaker 2: trying to get to is here, I think in our business, 604 00:29:47,466 --> 00:29:50,506 Speaker 2: like your your your kindness here is just so appreciated. 605 00:29:51,066 --> 00:29:53,986 Speaker 2: And I think that largely we all kind of like 606 00:29:54,066 --> 00:29:56,546 Speaker 2: each other and support each other. I mean, it's it's 607 00:29:56,666 --> 00:29:59,826 Speaker 2: like school that do we all love everybody? Maybe not, 608 00:30:00,146 --> 00:30:02,586 Speaker 2: But I don't think there's a whole lot of competitive 609 00:30:03,106 --> 00:30:06,866 Speaker 2: like hatred or anything like that. I think mostly I 610 00:30:06,946 --> 00:30:09,466 Speaker 2: consume stuff I like. I try to be a supportive 611 00:30:09,466 --> 00:30:11,546 Speaker 2: publicly about the stuff that I like, and like the 612 00:30:11,586 --> 00:30:13,906 Speaker 2: Good Morning Football.

It's supposed to be fun. Yeah, 617 00:30:23,506 --> 00:30:25,666 Speaker 2: it's kind of the last thing we've got. Man's so 618 00:30:25,826 --> 00:30:27,266 Speaker 2: much bullsh hate and all the. 619 00:30:30,186 --> 00:30:32,706 Speaker 1: Today this morning guys are in Yankees hats, Galzer and 620 00:30:32,746 --> 00:30:36,066 Speaker 1: Mets at the Knicks one the Rangers. One's like it's 621 00:30:36,146 --> 00:30:38,426 Speaker 1: and it's like, Okay, I know the elections coming up 622 00:30:38,426 --> 00:30:40,026 Speaker 1: in this whole world might go up into flames and 623 00:30:40,026 --> 00:30:42,386 Speaker 1: everyone's going to be angry at each other. But for today, 624 00:30:42,386 --> 00:30:44,026 Speaker 1: it's cool here in New York. This looks good. 625 00:30:44,266 --> 00:30:45,866 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm about to add but what about the Mets? 626 00:30:45,906 --> 00:30:48,706 Speaker 2: I mean, are you kidding? Even Lindora, like if it 627 00:30:49,026 --> 00:30:51,146 Speaker 2: could I ever be as cool in my life as 628 00:30:51,226 --> 00:30:53,746 Speaker 2: him rounding first base after he gets that, like not. 629 00:30:53,666 --> 00:30:56,946 Speaker 1: Even smiling, just like I couldn't believe it's that. But 630 00:30:57,066 --> 00:30:59,266 Speaker 1: he's usually a hype guy. He was so chill. 631 00:31:00,306 --> 00:31:02,586 Speaker 2: That's when you're in the matrix, bro, and everything has 632 00:31:02,626 --> 00:31:05,906 Speaker 2: slowed down, and like you you just you're just bending 633 00:31:05,946 --> 00:31:08,106 Speaker 2: your way beyond grabbing them. There is a. 634 00:31:08,026 --> 00:31:10,586 Speaker 1: Parallel here a little bit. We have this rich money 635 00:31:10,626 --> 00:31:13,346 Speaker 1: guy Steve Cohen now owning the Mets, and there's a 636 00:31:13,346 --> 00:31:15,266 Speaker 1: lot of skepticism the first couple of years. But like 637 00:31:16,106 --> 00:31:18,746 Speaker 1: the new ownership, it's a whole new spin on things. 638 00:31:18,746 --> 00:31:20,866 Speaker 1: I feel like the commander is like it's whether or 639 00:31:20,866 --> 00:31:22,226 Speaker 1: not the owner play is a huge role or not. 640 00:31:22,266 --> 00:31:24,306 Speaker 1: Like at least there's just fresh breath and fresh eyes 641 00:31:24,306 --> 00:31:26,386 Speaker 1: and a fresh face to look at in that owners suite. 642 00:31:27,186 --> 00:31:31,626 Speaker 2: No place needed a reset button push like the Washington 643 00:31:31,666 --> 00:31:35,306 Speaker 2: football situation. Nobody needed it worse. I get met fans. 644 00:31:35,666 --> 00:31:38,826 Speaker 2: You can talk yourself into the year situation. Nothing was 645 00:31:38,946 --> 00:31:43,626 Speaker 2: quite as toxic and debilitating as the Snyder ownership was 646 00:31:43,666 --> 00:31:46,226 Speaker 2: here because it came on the heels of real greatness. 647 00:31:46,306 --> 00:31:49,426 Speaker 2: So you know it was. It was. But I get 648 00:31:49,426 --> 00:31:51,186 Speaker 2: what you're saying, and listen. If you're a Mets fan, 649 00:31:51,306 --> 00:31:54,266 Speaker 2: I'm psyched for you. You got to be happy, man, 650 00:31:54,306 --> 00:31:58,106 Speaker 2: and you've been riding this incredible rollercoaster and it's whatever 651 00:31:58,346 --> 00:32:01,506 Speaker 2: I'm getting off the path.

I 723 00:35:17,746 --> 00:35:19,706 Speaker 1: think she's as good as anyone. I love Menafee and 724 00:35:19,746 --> 00:35:23,546 Speaker 1: I love James Brown.

That guy lives 729 00:35:33,306 --> 00:35:35,426 Speaker 1: in Breed Sports and has always been very cool to me. 730 00:35:36,866 --> 00:35:40,266 Speaker 1: The season with Peter Sugger is always delivering, and we 731 00:35:40,426 --> 00:35:43,986 Speaker 1: deliver results, presented by uber eats, and it's time for 732 00:35:44,106 --> 00:35:47,746 Speaker 1: delivering results. The award we give out every single week, 733 00:35:48,106 --> 00:35:52,106 Speaker 1: presented by our friends at uber eats. And the player 734 00:35:52,226 --> 00:35:54,546 Speaker 1: that I want to shut it out this week is 735 00:35:54,586 --> 00:35:58,826 Speaker 1: no other than Lamar Jackson. As everyone's focusing on Jaden Daniels, 736 00:35:58,906 --> 00:36:01,946 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is like, hey, I'm the reigning MVP and 737 00:36:02,026 --> 00:36:04,666 Speaker 1: I'm still as good as ever. Lamar was down ten 738 00:36:04,746 --> 00:36:07,466 Speaker 1: points in the fourth quarter against a team that couldn't 739 00:36:07,506 --> 00:36:10,066 Speaker 1: be stopped, and yet he's still found a way. Stiff 740 00:36:10,106 --> 00:36:12,746 Speaker 1: farming Sam Hubbard, falling off one leg, dropping the ball, 741 00:36:12,786 --> 00:36:15,346 Speaker 1: and still throwing the touchdown pass to Isaiah Likely and 742 00:36:15,386 --> 00:36:18,426 Speaker 1: then did everything he possibly could to make sure that 743 00:36:18,506 --> 00:36:20,146 Speaker 1: his Ravens team found a way to get out of 744 00:36:20,186 --> 00:36:23,386 Speaker 1: Cincinnati with a win. Lamar is the MVP, and yet 745 00:36:23,426 --> 00:36:25,426 Speaker 1: as we head towards this game, I feel like he's 746 00:36:25,426 --> 00:36:28,426 Speaker 1: the second story when it comes to the quarterbacks. Then, 747 00:36:28,506 --> 00:36:31,266 Speaker 1: because everyone's hyping up Jayden Daniels. We'll see how it goes. 748 00:36:31,306 --> 00:36:35,426 Speaker 1: They play one o'clock Eastern on Sunday, and I'll tell 749 00:36:35,466 --> 00:36:38,306 Speaker 1: you Uber Eats. I told a whole long story about 750 00:36:38,346 --> 00:36:40,786 Speaker 1: them last week. I have no such story this week. 751 00:36:40,826 --> 00:36:42,706 Speaker 1: I didn't get any Uber eats this week, but I'm 752 00:36:42,826 --> 00:36:44,546 Speaker 1: excited to do it the next time. I'm out in LA. 753 00:36:44,746 --> 00:36:46,306 Speaker 1: And you know what, as I'm watching the Mets and 754 00:36:46,306 --> 00:36:48,466 Speaker 1: the Yankees and the Liberty and the Knicks and the Rangers, 755 00:36:48,746 --> 00:36:52,346 Speaker 1: I'm like Uber Eats tonight. That was delivering results presented 756 00:36:52,346 --> 00:36:53,866 Speaker 1: by our friends of Uber Eats, where you can get 757 00:36:53,906 --> 00:36:56,186 Speaker 1: the best deals on Game today food all season long. 758 00:36:56,706 --> 00:36:59,106 Speaker 1: They are the official on the men delivery partner of 759 00:36:59,146 --> 00:37:03,666 Speaker 1: the NFL Order.
