Speaker 2: so long to get me my coach? There is a

15
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 2: process here that people frankly don't know about because they

16
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: don't publish it a lot, well to publicize it a lot.

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: But I'm going to break it down for you, So

18
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: just have a little bit of pay here. I know

19
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: Raider fans are itchy what's going on. They're going to

Speaker 2: hire a GM first, and then they're going to get

21
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: to their head coach and We'll get to all this

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 2: later in the show. I will not let you down.

23
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: But first, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I give

24
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: you CJ. Stroud sixteen to twenty one, two hundred and

25
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: seventy four yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions, one hundred and

26
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: fifty eight passer rating. That's all. Became the youngest player

27
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 2: quarterback in NFL history to win a playoff game, passing

28
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 2: the likes of Michael Vick and Ben Roethlisberger. You are

29
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: witnessing firsthand. This is not hyperbole. You are witnessing firsthand

30
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: the making of a legitimate superstar, the next major superstar

31
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: in the National Football League. When's his first playoff game

32
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: in his rookie season for a team that had gone

33
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: eleven and thirty eight the last three years. Do you

34
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: want to hear anything about bad offensive lines, screwed up organized,

35
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: all the excuses you give the Bears. This kid stepped

36
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 2: in and did it. And as I watched Saturday's game

37
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: in the blink of an eye to kick off this

38
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 2: super wild card weekend showdown between the Texans and Cleveland,

39
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: it changed on a dime. The game changed on a diamond.

40
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: It looked like it was gonna be an old fashioned shootout,

41
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 2: heavyweight fight like they used to play back in the

42
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: sixties in the AFL. And just seconds after falling behind

43
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: in the second quarter, the Texans jumped got the lead

44
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 2: right back, and then they proceeded to score thirty five

45
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: unanswered points. And yes, they closed out a very good

46
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: Cleveland Brown team forty five to four team, a very

47
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 2: good defense. Fittingly, the goal ahead touchdown was thrown by

48
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: the aforementioned CJ. Stroud. All he did was throw for

49
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 2: two hundred and thirty six yards in the first half,

50
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 2: a new rookie playoff record. Oh yeah, he also threw

51
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 2: for three first half touchdown passes that tied a single

52
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: rookie a rookie single game record. That gave Houston the

53
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: lead for good when he rolled right, kept a play

54
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: alive with his feet, sucked in a linebacker, and dropped

55
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 2: a perfect little dime, just a nice little bunny to

56
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 2: Brevin Jordan, who did the rest. Took it to the

57
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 2: house seventy six yards. There's twelve minutes left until halftime,

58
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 2: and then he throws a thirty seven yard pass to

59
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: Dalton Schultz. Houston goes into the intermission leading twenty four

60
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: to fourteen, and then the game really got away from

61
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: the Browns midway through the third quarter, when, of course

62
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco, who's been a good story this year, but

63
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: he's no CJ. Stroud apparently through the first of two

64
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: pick six is in a two minute span. Yep, it happened.

65
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: So why did Houston win? They made it a track meet.

66
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: They forced Cleveland to try to keep pace, and they

67
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: did so. They got CJ. Stroud in rhythm. He got

68
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: in rhythm. And by doing so, what did they do?

69
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: What the Detexans do? They took away the Browns running game,

70
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: which would have been pivotal. Brown's only had fifty six

71
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: yards on the ground in twenty carries. Now, again, you

72
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 2: give some credit to Houston's offensive line didn't allow a

73
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: single sack, But I give credit to CJ. Stroud too.

74
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: He gets the ball out of his hands incredible. He's

75
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 2: a masterclass in operating from the pocket. How he keeps

76
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: his eyes downfield, his footwork is superb. He guides the

77
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 2: maneuvers within the pocket, gets the ball right out of

78
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: his hand. He'll wait till that last second and take

79
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: the hit, get the ball out of his hand, make

80
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: the right decision put it on the money over and over.

81
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: His deep pinpoint passing accuracy is a thing to behold.

82
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 2: If you missed Bradshaw in the seventies or Lway in

83
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: the eighties, or to Joe Montana in the nineties or

84
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 2: Tom Brady, well here's your chance. I cannot say enough

85
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 2: good things about this kid. And why did the Browns lose?

86
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: Because I got to tell you, I said last night,

87
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 2: I got a feeling the Texans go back and listen

88
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: to the podcasts, a feeling Texans are going to get

89
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: it done. But I can't say that I predicted it

90
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: out right. I just kind of had a feeling the

91
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: Browns were going to be a tough out and they

92
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 2: showed early on that they showed up to play. They

93
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 2: got a good defense, and they had some good comebacks

94
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 2: this season, including Week fourteen when they beat jackson Ville.

95
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: That was Joe Flack Flack I was coming out party.

96
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: But the truth of the matter is for the Browns

97
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: to win, they had to be a front running team.

98
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: They had to get you down and step on your neck,

99
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 2: and frankly, that wasn't what Cleveland was able to do.

100
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: And give Houston's defense credit, the Texans really played great,

101
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: complimentary football. The offense has struggled in Cleveland, but the defense,

102
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 2: it played a huge role in the loss. They really

103
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 2: got no pressure on Stroud and I give again CJ.

104
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: Strodd a lot of credit. Kastrab put on a clinic

105
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 2: on how to operate in the pocket and he humbled

106
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 2: that Cleveland defense in Jim Schwartz. And if you wonder

107
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: why the Browns won eleven games this year despite starting

108
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,679
Speaker 2: five different quarterbacks and Kevin Stefanski did an outstanding job

109
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: because they had a very good defense. And if your

110
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 2: defense can make the other team punt and play a

111
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 2: ball control field position, and you give an offense a

112
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 2: chance to do its job. Houston never let Cleveland do

113
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: that today at all. Anybody who watched this game knows

114
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 2: the major turning point. The final turning point is when

115
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 2: the guy's name was Nelson, he picked sixth Joe Flacco

116
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: that put the game up thirty one to fourteen. It

117
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: was about six minutes in the third quarter and that

118
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: was game set match. I think that was the play

119
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 2: of the game. And then there was another pick six moment.

120
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 2: But basically Houston was playing with so much confidence they

121
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 2: got to the point where they were just reading Flacco's

122
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 2: eyes and jumping the routes. And you know, when you

123
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: have a quarterback that can you know, score points like

124
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 2: that like CJ. Stroud, Can they move the ball down

125
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 2: the field and score from anywhere on the field and

126
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 2: make every throw on the field and have all three

127
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 2: levels in the huddle, presence and the incredible charisma this

128
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 2: kid has. Well, it gives the rest of the team

129
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 2: a hell of a lot of confidence. Right, So what's next, Well,

130
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: the Texans are gonna wait their opponent in the AFC

131
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 2: Divisional Round. Believe it or not, Houston actually could have

132
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: hosted another playoff game if the Chiefs would have lost

133
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: Saturday night, And we're gonna get to that game coming up.

134
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 2: But if Buffalo loses, then I believe you will see

135
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 2: Kansas City hosts another playoff game and the Texans. Let's

136
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: put it this way, I don't think Buffalo is going

137
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: to lose, So I think you're going to see the

138
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,679
Speaker 2: Texans go to Baltimore and you'll see Kansas City actually

139
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: go to Buffalo. We'll tighten that up a little bit

140
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: later in the show. But I did not want to

141
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: start the show any other way and without giving c. J.

142
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: Stroud his flowers, which are not only well deserved. This

143
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 2: is what you hope to see, you know. At the

144
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 2: bottom of the hour, I want to talk about this

145
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 2: other matchup that's going to be played in ford Field

146
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: Sunday night. The whole world to be watching, and it's

147
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:28,119
Speaker 2: managed to morph itself into Matt Stafford versus Jared Goff

148
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: instead of the Lions versus the Rams. So I'll play along.

149
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: I'll give you my thoughts at the bottom of the hour.

150
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: But I was there, okay when Matt Stafford was drafted

151
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 2: number one overall, and I will never doubt that Matt

152
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 2: Stafford played hard and Matt Stafford's tough. Matt Stafford played injured.

153
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 2: Matt Stafford had the respect of the locker room. But

154
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: he was owing three in the playoffs, and there were

155
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 2: seven games in which there was an opportunity that had

156
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 2: playoff implications when and you're in over his twelve years

157
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: and he lost him all. He was only seven. So

158
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 2: that's what the record books show. That Stafford could not

159
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 2: do what c. J. Stroud did, and he was supposed to,

160
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 2: he was the number one pick overall. Could not do

161
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 2: what Josh Allen has done, could not do what Patrick

162
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: Mahomes has done. Not even Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield took

163
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 2: over a team one in thirty one in Cleveland and

164
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 2: got him to the playoffs within a couple of years

165
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: and even won a game at Pittsburgh. Had Kansas City

166
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: down in the fourth quarter in the playoffs and his

167
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 2: defense couldn't hold it. So I get the excuses. You know,

168
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: he didn't have any help, which is not true. Eight

169
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 2: of the twelve years he probably didn't, but he couldn't

170
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: elevate the team either. But the years he didn't didn't

171
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 2: take advantage. So you're seeing a game now where the

172
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 2: LA fans had Jared Goff fatigue, which I get, but

173
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 2: the Lions fans had Matt Stafford fatigue. And why do

174
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 2: I say that, Well, look, Matt did things that were good.

175
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: He competed his butt off, but he would do things

176
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 2: that were absolutely maddening. Leeds to. You know, he's throwing

177
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: more pick sixes, and either quarterback in history and since

178
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 2: the trade, who's throwing more touchdown passes Jared Goff, who's

179
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 2: throwing fewer interceptions? Jared Goff, who's got a higher quarterback

180
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 2: rating Jared Goff, who's throwing for almost two thousand more yards.

181
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 2: Jared Goff will be the best man win Sunday. Only

182
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 2: it's not Jared Goff versus Matt Stafford. It's the Rams

183
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 2: versus the Lions. And I'll have a full handicap on

184
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 2: that game, including the Steelers game, including the Eagles game,

185
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: and of course Dallas Greenbait. We're gonna do that a

186
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 2: little bit later in the show. But coming up, I

187
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: want to talk about the Chiefs Dolphins and how coincidentally

188
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: or maybe they do it up this way the year

189
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 2: that Andy Reid has an offense that is his least productive,

190
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 2: he is a defense that's most productive. I'm Bernie Fradlewier

200
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 5: five to seven pm Eastern. But here's the thing we

201
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 5: never have enough time to get to everything we want

202
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 5: to get to.

203
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 6: And that's why we have a brand new podcast called

204
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 6: over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in

205
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 6: our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,

206
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 6: because this guy is over promising things we never have

207
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 6: time for.

208
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you blober list jam in me.

209
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 5: Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should

210
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 5: be good at it because you've been over promising women

211
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 5: for years.

212
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 6: Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show and we

213
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 6: want you to be a part of it. We're gonna

214
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 6: be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk

215
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 6: life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing

216
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 6: about something or we didn't have enough time, it will

217
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 6: continue on our after show called over Promised.

218
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 5: Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make

219
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 5: sure you check out over Promised and also Uncensored by

220
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 5: the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a

221
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 5: little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast

222
00:11:58,800 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 5: of all time.

223
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,360

Speaker 6: or wherever you get your podcasts.

227
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 2: All right back on the Bernie Fratter Show, Fox Sports Radio,

228
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 2: coming to you live from a tirack dot Com studios

229
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas. Will take you up to three

230
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 2: am Pacific, six am Eastern. A lot of stuff to

231
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: get to and allow me to clean this up if

232
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 2: you will. Barring an upset in Buffalo Monday, the game's

233
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 2: been moved to Monday now four thirty Eastern. Should Buffalo prevail,

234
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 2: Kansas City would visit the Bills and the Texans would

235
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 2: head down to play Baltimore next weekend. But should Pittsburgh

236
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: pull the upset, then Kansasity would host a second playoff game.

237
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: They would get the Texans and Pittsburgh would visit Baltimore.

238
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 2: Any Way, as slice, it should be a whole lot

239
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 2: of fun. What did we learn again in now from

240
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: the second game Saturday night, as we witnessed Kansas City

241
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 2: shutting down Miami's offense to advance the divisional round. I

242
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: don't want to want to say it was cold. I mean, boyd,

243
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: she was cold watching it, and then someone who lived

244
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 2: through seventeen Detroit winners, I know what that kind of cold? Honestly,

245
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 2: feels like I don't want to say it was cold.

246
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: I think I saw a dog chasing a cat in

247
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 2: the parking lot. They were both walking. That's how cold

248
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: it was, all right. The Chiefs, well, they keep their

249
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: dreams of repeating as Super Bowl champs. At least they're alive.

250
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 2: They took advantage of the weather. It was frigid, Narrowhead

251
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 2: and basically Mahomes and the Chiefs and Andy Reid, they

252
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 2: just sort of outlasted the Dolphins, and so they're onto

253
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 2: the survived advance. They're on to the next round. And they,

254
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: by the way, give the Chiefs credit. They asserted themselves early.

255
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 2: They drove the ball right down the field sixty nine yards,

256
00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: nine plays and look at Rareshi Rice having a nice

257
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 2: coming out party. Opening drive touchdown caught the ball from Homes.

258
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: After that, both sides slowed to a crawl. They traded

259
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: three and ounce to a toss to pick. Kansas City

260
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 2: finally started to add to its lead a couple of

261
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 2: chip shot field goals. Harrison butkerk He's always reliable. Finally,

262
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 2: the Dolphins, they were down by ten and their only

263
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: real what I would consider to be flash of offense

264
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 2: came courtesy of Tyreek Hill, who was making his return

265
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 2: to Kansas City for the first time since the trade

266
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 2: two years ago that landed him in Miami. His first target

267
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 2: of the game, just barely into the second quarter, was

268
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 2: a good one fifty three yard touchdown, passed ten to seven.

269
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 2: You thought to yourself for just a second and New

270
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 2: York second again, like we thought maybe in the Cleveland

271
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 2: Texans game, maybe we've got a little heavyweight about here. No,

272
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 2: not so much. That was the only threat to Dolphins

273
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 2: were able to make. It was the only damage they

274
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 2: were able to inflict on the Chiefs. And the Chiefs

275
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: you know what. For their next five drives, they took

276
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 2: the field goals analytics be damned, Hey take the damn points.

277
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 2: Resulted in twelve more points the Chiefs win twenty sixty seven.

278
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 2: The line was four and a half. And I heard

279
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: some knuckleheads on the radio center all the Dolphins aren't

280
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 2: going to be affected by the cold, didn't Tyreek Hill

281
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 2: used to play there. Oh, by the way, Caadarius Tony,

282
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: he went to Florida. He'll be cold too. You're stupid.

283
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 2: You're stupid, Okay, when you don't live in that weather,

284
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 2: you don't just PLoP into town. Miami doesn't win games

285
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: under forty degrees. Tampa Bay had that malady for years.

286
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 2: I think the last game that Miami won under forty

287
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: degrees was years ago. It doesn't matter, it's a different

288
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 2: ball game. They were neutralized. That offense was neutralized. And

289
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 2: by the way, a tip of the cap. The Dolphins

290
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 2: had a good year. They had a bunch of injuries,

291
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 2: and I really liked I like to I'm just not sure.

292
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 2: I think Jason Martin and him and Aaron do a

293
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 2: great job. On Saturday Very a Thinking Man's Show, Jason

294
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 2: Martin said something earlier in the night. I caught part

295
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 2: of it, to the effect of two. His ceiling just

296
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 2: isn't quite as high as it needs to be to

297
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 2: make that next leave. And I like to him, and

298
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 2: I'm telling you earlier in his career, man, the poor

299
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 2: guy got hit more than Rocky A. Balbo and he's

300
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 2: had more surgeries than Joan Rivers. But he's turned out

301
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 2: to be a serviceable guy. But that game needs to

302
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 2: be played in Miami. And you know what, buff it's

303
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 2: their own fault. Miami couldn't close it out against Buffalo

304
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: last week, but One of the big stories following the

305
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 2: Chiefs this season was the fact that you've observed they've

306
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 2: had major struggles from their wide receiver group. They led

307
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 2: the league and drop passes. This is the Chiefs Andy Reid.

308
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes led the league in drop passes. He saw

309
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: it week one against Detroit on Thursday night, Kadarius Tony

310
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: catches that ball, it's likely Harrison Butker makes a field goal.

311
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 2: And even though the Chiefs were without Travis Kelcey that night,

312
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 2: they might have beaten the Allions. Taking nothing away from

313
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 2: the Lions they went in. They beat the Super Bowl

314
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 2: champs on their own field. But there were a lot

315
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 2: of drop passes that night, and that seemed to be

316
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 2: a foreshadowing a movie preview for the rest of the season.

317
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 2: And maybe rookie Rashi Rice is someone to watch. He also,

318
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 2: like CJ. Stroud, had his playoff debut Saturday night. And

319
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 2: there's a word that quarterbacks have for receivers that Brady

320
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 2: used to use, trust. It looked like as the game

321
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 2: went on, Rashi Rice could really be trusted by Patrick Mahomes.

322
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: He targeted him twelve times, turned into one hundred and

323
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 2: thirty yards in a touchdown. He also would have had

324
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 2: another score had a penalty not called it back. So

325
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 2: Travis Kelcey, who by the way, had a nice night himself,

326
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 2: seven balls, seventy one yards. It was a nice foil.

327
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 2: Rashi Rice proved to be a guy that Mahomes could

328
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 2: lean on. He proved to be invaluable. Hold that thought.

329
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 2: Hold that thought, because until you knock out the champ

330
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 2: and by the way, in case you're wondering, in the

331
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 2: last ten years, there have been twenty number one seeds,

332
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 2: ten have gone to the Super Bowl and ten haven't.

333
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 2: So if that holds, either Baltimore is getting knocked out

334
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 2: or the Niners are getting knocked out. And I found

335
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 2: voting it's Baltimore. But we'll see. Let's not jump too

336
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 2: far ahead. The takeaway for Saturday night and certainly throughout

337
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 2: most of the season, if you've watched the Chiefs games,

338
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 2: he's at Defensively, they continue to play the level you

339
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 2: have not seen in Kansas City in prior seasons, certainly

340
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 2: under the Reied Mahomes era. They again just the same

341
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 2: way the Texans did to the Browns. The Chiefs completely

342
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 2: stifled Miami's running game, and they kept the passing game.

343
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 2: And check again. Tyreek Hill did have that one fifty

344
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 2: three yard touchdown catch in the first half, but beyond that,

345
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 2: he was only targeted six other times caught three balls

346
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: for a total of nine yards. That's why the Chiefs won.

347
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 2: Why did the Dolphins lose in key situations? They couldn't

348
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 2: move the ball, especially when they needed to. You've heard

349
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 2: me say it before your third downs, your money down.

350
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 2: They don't pay your quarterback to punt the red zones,

351
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: the money zone, the fourth quarter, you get it. The

352
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 2: Dolphins were brutal on third down and fourth down for

353
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 2: most of the night, and they didn't convert either critical

354
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 2: down until you got well into the third quarter. That's

355
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 2: not a recipe to win. By the way, I mentioned

356
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 2: the red zone facetiously, the Dolphins never even visited the

357
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 2: red zone once their backfield. They're two headed monster Raheem

358
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 2: Moster and Devona Shane. They combined for a total forty

359
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 2: two yards on fourteen rushing attempts, and in doing so,

360
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 2: that got the passing game out of rhythm for most

361
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 2: of the night. Jalen Waddle only caught two balls, and again,

362
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 2: as I said, tyreek Hill pretty silent outside of that

363
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 2: quick perst in the second quarter. But let's be fair,

364
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 2: but these things matter. You can't make excuses. The only

365
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 2: Super Bowl that Aaron Rodgers ever won in Green Bay.

366
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 2: They had fourteen men on i ARE that year. But

367
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 2: let's be honest, Miami's injuries on defense finally caught up

368
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 2: to them, specifically off the edge after they lost Jalen Phillips.

369
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 2: He tore his achille month and a half ago, Bradley

370
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 2: Chubb tours ACL two weeks ago. You sidelined both of

371
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 2: those guys. Mahomes had all day to throw the ball.

372
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 2: That's a death sentence against any opponent in the National

373
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 2: Football League. Now, Vic Fangio, who's an offensive defense? Check

374
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 2: that defensive coordinator? Genius? Obviously, he came to fame under

375
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh's defense in San Francisco with that great forty

376
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 2: nine Ers team in twenty twelve. He did his best

377
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 2: scheme in personnel group to disrupt Mahomes. He had tons

378
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 2: of blitzes, but they couldn't get home. They couldn't get home.

379
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 2: They were missing their studs. And when you started the

380
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 2: second half, that's when any hope of Miami really pulling

381
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 2: some sort of comeback or getting back into the game.

382
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 2: It just completely disappeared. The Dolphins got the ball to

383
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 2: start the third quarter, they go three and out on

384
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 2: a drive that lasted a whole ninety two seconds. But

385
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 2: then the defense they were able to hold the Chiefs

386
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 2: to a field goal. On the ensuing drive. You had

387
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 2: a manageable twelve point deficit, score a touchdown and your

388
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 2: right back in it. But they could not manage to

389
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 2: manufacture any kind of scoring drive. Mike McDaniel, again, who's

390
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 2: done an outstanding job two years, two playoff runs, just

391
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 2: can't quite get over the hump. They lose in Buffalo

392
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 2: last year, cold weather, they lose in Kansas City this year,

393
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 2: cold weather. And I think it got to a point

394
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 2: where you saw the futility that Mike McDaniel recognized that he's,

395
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 2: you know, desperate people have to do deaf are things.

396
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 2: He kept his offense on the field for a fourth

397
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 2: and one attempt from Miami's own thirty four yard line

398
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 2: on the very next drive, and I said, you know what,

399
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 2: I don't blame him. He's got to do it. They're

400
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 2: down two scores and right now this offense couldn't score.

401
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 2: The Women's prison with a fist full of fifties. But

402
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 2: they continue to sputter, and you know, they even converted

403
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 2: that fourth down, but it was a false sense of security.

404
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 2: And Chris Jones and George Carl Loftis they started to

405
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 2: do their magic and the rest obviously is history. So

406
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 2: what's next? And by the way, I want to give

407
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes a lot of credit to these things don't

408
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 2: necessarily show up in the boxer because they don't draw pictures.

409
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 2: He made a couple of stellar plays with his legs

410
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 2: and including the one where he broke his helmet, and

411
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 2: I said, like now, the Chiefs will wait for the

412
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 2: results of the Steelers and Bills. If Buffalo comes out

413
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 2: of the game with the win, Kansas cityo head to

414
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 2: Orchard Park. But if Pittsburgh pulls off the set upset,

415
00:22:55,480 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 2: well guess who the Chiefs. So welcome the aforementioned C. J. Stroup.

416
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 2: As Bart Scott once said, can't wait coming up the

417
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 2: one matchup that has just taken out a life of

418
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 2: its own for people who've never even been to Detroit.

419
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 2: It's the group they get go chamber, let me repeat,

420
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 2: but first let's go to our guy, Kevin Figures with

421
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 2: a Saturday night appearance.

422
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: How you doing, Kevin doing well, Bernie doing well?

423
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 7: A couple of games in the NFL on Saturday night,

424
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 7: actually three straight days of the NFL doubleheaders. Now that

425
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 7: Pittsburgh Buffalo game got moved, originally scheduled for Sunday now

426
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 7: will be played on Monday afternoon due to that snowstorm

427
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 7: in Buffalo. But going back to Saturday night, the lay

428
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 7: game saw the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs dominate the Dolphins,

429
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 7: as you mentioned, twenty six to seven. Patrick Mahomes two

430
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 7: hundred and sixty two yards passing along with a scoring

431
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 7: strike to Rashi Rice had one hundred and thirty yards

432
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 7: receiving and that score. Earlier in the day, that Texans

433
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 7: dominating Cleveland forty five to fourteen, CJ Stroud three touchdown passes,

434
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 7: while that Houston defense sacked Joe Flacco four times and

435
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 7: returned two interceptions for touchdowns. On Monday night, the Eagles

436
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 7: will be in Tampa Bay, and they will be without

437
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 7: their all pro receiver AJ Brown, who suffered a knee

438
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 7: injury last week. And college hoops top ring Perdue got

439
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 7: thirty points and twenty rebounds from Zach Edy in a

440
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 7: ninety five to seventy eight went over Penn States twenty

441
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 7: four points and fourteen boards for Hunter Dickinson as Kansas

442
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 7: defeated ninth ranked Oklahoma seventy eight to sixty six.

443
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: You had wins in the NBA for New Orleans.

444
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 7: Boston, Milwaukee, and the Utah Jazz who defeated the Lakers

445
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 7: who were without Lebron James.

446
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: Back to Bernie Freedom.

447
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: All right, thanks so much, Kevin. So before you Stafford wonks,

448
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 2: lose your mind and listen selectively and think I'm bashing them,

449
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 2: I speak objectively. There are personal feelings and objective truth.

450
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 2: And I speak objectively because Matt Stafford did try, and

451
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 2: he played hurt and he had the respect to the

452
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 2: locker room, but he was his own worst enemy. And

453
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 2: when you compare Stafford and Golf, and I'm going to

454
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 2: digress and go back into the trade that place on

455
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 2: March eighteenth, twenty twenty one, and sort of reshare what

456
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 2: the impressions were. And I think the script has been flipped,

457
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 2: if you want my honest opinion. But it reminds me.

458
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 2: You know, you got Stafford who's coming over from Detroit

459
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 2: to la as a savior and you got Golf, who's

460
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 2: been treated like a bastard child, and everybody said it

461
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 2: was a bridge quarterback. They'll get rid of him, they'll

462
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 2: draft somebody. And Golf is actually the one who'd been

463
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 2: to a Super Bowl. Yeah, he lost to a Belichick defense.

464
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 2: But it reminds me of a story. I think this

465
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 2: is analogous. There's a husband and wife team in Las

466
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 2: Vegas and the wife is, you know, playing slots, and

467
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 2: the husband's playing blackjack. And the wife goes up and

468
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 2: taps him on the shoulder and says, hey, can I

469
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 2: have another one hundred dollars to play slots? He says, what,

470
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 2: You've already lost five hundred dollars playing slots. You want more.

471
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 2: She looks at him and says, well, look at you.

472
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: You've lost five thousand dollars playing blackjack. He goes, yeah,

473
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 2: but I know what I'm doing. That reminds me of

474
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 2: Golf and Stafford. It's like Stafford knew what he was doing,

475
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 2: but he just got stuck on bad teams in Detroit. Well,

476
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 2: even the twelve years he might have. But I'm telling

477
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 2: you that twenty fourteen team that lost in Dallas when

478
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 2: Stafford turned it over twice in the fourth quarter. They

479
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 2: had seven Pro Bowlers and Dominican zu Calvin Johnson, the

480
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 2: number two ranked defense and the lead in the fourth quarter.

481
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 2: He also lost the Seattle lost to New Orles. They're

482
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 2: also four other playoff games, playoff playoff implication games that

483
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 2: he lost. Okay, those are just that's just his record,

484
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 2: not passing the guy. That's his record. That's objectively what

485
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 2: his record is was zero to seven in playoff implication

486
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 2: and playoff games in Detroit. And believe me, there were

487
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 2: years he had dead some pretty good teams. Most of

488
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 2: the time they didn't. But just Keith Peter King once

489
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 2: told me many years ago, you know, it'd be nice

490
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 2: if one year Matt could elevate the team. But he tried,

491
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 2: He played hurt, he was dedicated, but he did maddening things.

492
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 2: They're throwing lots of pick sixers, are rolling the right

493
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 2: and throwing the ball into a sea of hands. One

494
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 2: of the things about this game is that I keep

495
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 2: hearing all week, well the Lions and all they haven't

496
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,479
Speaker 2: They got so much pressure on them. They haven't won

497
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 2: a playoff game since nineteen ninety one. The game was

498
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 2: actually played January fifth, nineteen ninety two might split in here. Yeah, sure,

499
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 2: I guess nineteen ninety one season. But the game has

500
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 2: played on January fifth, nineteen ninety two, and I guarantee

501
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 2: everybody talking about that game, and you didn't see, you

502
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 2: know anything about it. The Lions had won the division

503
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 2: that year. They were twelve and four, and they proceeded

504
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 2: to be Jimmy Johnson's Dallas Cowboys thirty eight to six.

505
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 2: They really looked good that day. The Lions did the

506
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 2: first playoff wins since nineteen fifty seven. John Madden was

507
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 2: on the call and he said, you're looking at the

508
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 2: two playoff teams of the nineties or the two teams

509
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 2: of the nineties. Well he was half right. The Cowboys

510
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 2: went on to win three Super Bowls and the Lions

511
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 2: never won another playoff game, although they did go to

512
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 2: the playoffs in the nineties five times. So all of

513
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 2: a sudden, you reset the clock. Do you remember where

514
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 2: you were on March eighteenth, twenty twenty one. I guarantee

515
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 2: you that both Jared Goff and Matt Stafford do. That's

516
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 2: the day the trade heard around the world was consummated.

517
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 2: And if you go back, if you could turn back

518
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 2: the clock and interview people getting the hot tub time machine.

519
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 2: You would be very hard pressed to find any NFL

520
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 2: expert pundit who didn't believe that the Rams were the

521
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 2: clear winner of that trade, even though Goff got to

522
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 2: Detroit with twice as many playoffs starts at Stanford and

523
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 2: the numbers were very similar, and Goff actually had playoff wins.

524
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 2: Everybody likes Stafford more fair. You have a right to

525
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 2: have your opinion. So now what has happened is this

526
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 2: game Sunday night has become a referendum, and I'm gonna

527
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 2: bring in the crew after Mark Mandina said, when I

528
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 2: want to get their thoughts, because Saturday was kind of

529
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 2: a teaser, a primer. The doubleheader Sunday and the doubleheader

530
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 2: Monday is where you're gonna have the real games, and

531
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 2: three of the four games are gonna be most I

532
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 2: think intriguing. If you don't think there's all kinds of

533
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 2: pressure on Dallas at home to beat Green Bay. There's

534
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 2: even talk of Mike McCarthy getting fired. I don't know

535
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 2: if that would happen, but that's a conversation. Philadelphia was

536
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 2: ten and one. At one point they visited Tampa Bay.

537
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 2: There's talk of maybe Nick cyri Anning being shown the

538
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 2: door if they don't beat Tampa Bay. Would that happen?

539
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'll tell you this, Dan campbellin getting

540
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 2: fired if the Lions lose that game. So I don't

541
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 2: see that kind of pressure. But this was an all

542
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 2: in move by the Rams, and for the Lions, it

543
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 2: was we're gonna wave goodbye to Stafford. We're gonna get

544
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 2: a little bit of a haul back because the Rams

545
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 2: got Stafford, but the Lions got twenty twenty two first

546
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 2: round pick, a twenty twenty three first round pick, and

547
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 2: a twenty twenty one third round pick, which they've done

548
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 2: very well with, and they got Jared Goff. Since the trade,

549
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 2: Golf's throwing for seventy eight touchdowns Stafford seventy five. Stafford's

550
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 2: throwing for thirty six interceptions GoF only twenty seven. Stafford's

551
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 2: got a tidy ninety five point eight quarterback rating, Goff

552
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 2: a ninety six point five. I'm not denigrating Stafford. I'm saying,

553
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 2: look at this objectively, give Golf his flowers a little bit, okay,

554
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 2: because although Mini ponded said, well, he's a bridge quarterback

555
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 2: you'll get rid of him. You know, you'll draft somebody

556
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 2: you'll draft like a Trey Lance or Justin Field. No, no, no,

557
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 2: they kept Goff. They built around him. And since you've

558
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 2: brought in guys like Jamiir Gibbs and Sam Laporta. And

559
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 2: by the way, those were drafted with picks stemming from

560
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 2: the Stafford deal. Yeah, now, Golf still looking for his

561
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 2: first ever Lombardi Trophy, but if you're if I'm being honest,

562
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 2: he's been a lot steadier than Stafford since the trade,

563
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 2: and Goff played a major hand in Ernie Detroit their

564
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 2: first home playoff game in thirty years. So look, we're

565
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 2: gonna get into the handicap for this specific game, of

566
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 2: course later, as well as all the games. But the

567
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 2: truth of the matter is people talk about the Lions

568
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 2: defense it's being stinky, and probably it's not been great.

569
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 2: But both the Lions and the Rams ranking the bottom

570
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 2: half of the NFL and defense Detroit's nineteenth, the Rams

571
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 2: are actually twentieth. Even in sacks and pressure, Detroit ranks

572
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 2: twenty second, the Rams twenty third. Now, both teams do

573
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 2: have elite weapons, so it seems to me neither Golf

574
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 2: nor Stafford should I have a hell of a lot

575
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 2: of trouble moving the chains and getting into the end zone.

576
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 2: And both teams I think are well coached and well

577
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 2: equipped to support their quarterbacks. Give it up to Kiren Williams.

578
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 2: He's emerged as a tremendous workhorse on the ground for

579
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 2: the Rams. I have immens respect for Sean McVay, but

580
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 2: Jamier Games and David Montgomery, they're quite the duo of

581
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 2: their own for Detroit, all right. I know Stafford's a

582
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 2: risk taker. We'll see if that bites him. And I'm

583
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 2: not mixed up. Goff's had turnovers this year that have

584
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 2: come in waves. But they are where they are. They

585
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 2: are where they are, and we'll see what kind of

586
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 2: game Aaron Donald has. Maybe the Lions established the run early,

587
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 2: and we'll see if Dan Campbell the Gambler does his magic.

588
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 2: I have no problem with what he does because the

589
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 2: Lions wouldn't be where they were without him changing that

590
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 2: culture a thousand times from Tuesday. They're just simply not

591
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 2: the same. So it's going to be a lot of

592
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 2: fun coming up. After Mark Madina's segment, we are going

593
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 2: to I really want to hear Kevin and Shay and

594
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 2: mark their thoughts about who really has the most pressure.

595
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 2: Just don't even just leave out the Buffalo game. Okay,

596
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 2: I'm not worried about I think Buffalo is gonna beat Pittsburgh.

597
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh is gonna miss TJ. Watt. You're gonna have swirling wins.

598
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh's running for four or in seventy rods last three games.

599
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 2: I like their culture. I think they hang around. But

600
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 2: it feels like a seven to ten point win for

601
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 2: the Bills right around the number or maybe you know.

602
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 2: I don't know. So let's but we're gonna talk about

603
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 2: the other three games Philly, Tampa Bay, Dallas, Green Bay,

604
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 2: and Detroit Rams. Who's really got the most pressure? Want

605
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 2: to get their thoughts and I'll give my thoughts as well.

606
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 2: Coming up, one last thought about the college football playoff,

607
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 2: as we wave goodbye until twenty twenty four. Love it

608
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 2: or hated, there's no debating even under this stinkyel format,

609
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 2: it was huge. It's only going to be getting bigger.

610
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 2: The numbers that they're boasting astronomical, and it's only going

611
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 2: to be getting bigger. And that's all to the good

612
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,800

626
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 2: me about eight o'clock. The poor guy's sick. I would

627
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 2: have welcomed him on. He wasn't comfortable with how he felt,

628
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 2: and I respect that. And so if you're wondering why

629
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 2: we don't have the Phasig five on tonight, I gotta

630
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,200

634
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 2: US props festle bet like sixty seventy props and he

635
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 2: does the smart ones. He doesn't do the needle in

636
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 2: the haystack ones where you're shooting babies at the moon

637

652
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 2: A great guy. We are on total disagreement about Jim Harbaugh.

653
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 2: I'll give him his props. He did pick Michigan and

654
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 2: I want him to get his I want to get

655
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,479
Speaker 2: his thoughts on the Lions Rams Sunday night. He'll be there.

656
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 2: Dan's a good guy. I would just say this, if

657
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 2: Hoba ain't going anywhere, then he should have signed his

658
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty five million dollar contract extension that

659
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 2: only carries the new NFL claus for one year. He's

660
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 2: going anywhere. Well, he is hired Don Yee, a power

661
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 2: NFL agent who represented Sean Payton last year, got his

662
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 2: deal with the Broncos, and he also represented Tom Brady.

663
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 2: DONI far Ball isn't going anywhere. Why is he talking

664
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 2: to the Chargers this week? He has a man crush

665
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:10,240
Speaker 2: on on on Justin Herbert, and I know Mark Davis

666
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 2: is going to make a play the Carolina Panthers that

667
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 2: are interested in either of the Bears and the Washington Commanders.

668
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 2: So there's not a lot of options. But I have

669
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 2: too many good moles that know he wants to win

670
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl more than anything, all right, and he

671
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 2: could have made measures and made his proclamation or already

672
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 2: stated he could already be behind this, but no, just

673
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 2: like he did in twenty twenty two, flew to Minnesota

674
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 2: to talk about a job he had no chance of getting.

675
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 2: Last year, he did a three hour zoom call with

676
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 2: the Broncos. But you know what stars were aligned. He

677
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 2: knew he had forty four seniors coming back, including Blake

678
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 2: Coorum and JJ McCarthy. So listen. The reason I say

679
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 2: seventy percent is because Harley Ball is gonna want a

680
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 2: lot of Money's gonna want control, and I don't know

681
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 2: if the Spanish family will give it, and I think

682
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 2: Mark Davis might, but there's already rumblings here, and they

683
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 2: got to hire their general manager first. Then we'll see

684
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 2: this heat up. But I'll give it seventy percent he stays,

685
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 2: and thirty percent or check that, just confuse myself. Seventy

686
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 2: percent he goes because he wants to make no mistake,

687
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 2: This isn't fantasy land. I don't deal in personal feelings.

688
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 2: These are objective truths he wants to Now that doesn't

689
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 2: mean he'll get the deal he wants, but I don't

690
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,399
Speaker 2: want to have an argument like two guys at the bar.

691
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 2: All Right. The long and the short of it is

692
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 2: we'll know soon enough. And yeah, I think it's a

693
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,720
Speaker 2: great story either way, because Michigan's got that tough schedule.

694
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 2: Next year hegains Texas and Washington and the new Big Ten.

695
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 2: I think it'd be awesome either way.

696
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 8: All Right.

697
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 2: The College Football Playoff, even though we didn't love the

698
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 2: prior format, it's still one of the most talked about

699
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 2: events in all sports because it not only creates all

700
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 2: kinds of debate and all kinds of arguments about which

701
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,399
Speaker 2: of the four teams should get in when you've got

702
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 2: five power conferences, but the beautiful beauty is the twelve

703
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,760
Speaker 2: team structure is going to be here next year. And

704
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 2: the truth of the matter is, even this past couple

705
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 2: of years, in the past nine years, when you look

706
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 2: at the monster ratings that the college football playings of

707
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:18,720
Speaker 2: college football, you know matchups have had. I mean, look,

708
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 2: you had twenty million people watch Michigan in Washington and

709
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,760
Speaker 2: nineteen million people for Ohio State Michigan. You had eighteen

710
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 2: million for the SEC title game on December second beat

711
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 2: in Alabama and Georgia. You had actually twenty eight million

712
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 2: in the college football Playoffs semi final between Michigan and Alabama,

713
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 2: and you had like nineteen million between the game and

714
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 2: the game between Texas and Washington. These audiences, this is

715
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 2: nothing to sneeze at. That's a draw that's bigger than

716
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 2: many major or professional college sports events, including the NBA Finals,

717
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,919
Speaker 2: the World Series, the Final Four, the Kentucky Derby, even

718
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 2: the Masters. There's also a wide range of TV networks

719
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 2: and streamers that have paid massive amounts of money that

720
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 2: caught with the rights to cover this expanded college football playoff.

721
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 9: Now.

722
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 2: ESPN currently holds the rights to the quarterfinals, semi finals,

723
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 2: and title game. That's through twenty twenty six. And of course,

724
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 2: as I mentioned last night on The Bernie Fradle Show,

725
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 2: it all starts December twentieth on college campuses and the

Speaker 2: actual final in twenty twenty five be played January twentieth,

727

Speaker 2: twenty twenty five will be on Martin Luther King Day

Speaker 2: on Monday Night. A full month of college playoffs with

729
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:43,000

00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 2: this fine Sunday morning now in this cerulean blue sky

745
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 2: Los Angeles.

746
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 8: Uh? You know the answer to that, Bernie. I've always

747
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 8: find it this time of the week because I'm talking

748
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 8: MBA with you.

749
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 2: That's what I want to hear. My man, it went

750
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 2: even better than it didn't rehearsal. Nicely done, my friend. Hey,

751
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 2: I want to start with a couple stories that probably

752
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 2: aren't on the main radar, but I would like to

753
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 2: get your thoughts. I thought it was very shrewd the

754
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,439
Speaker 2: way that the Clippers locked up Kawhi Leonard. If he's

755
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:07,240
Speaker 2: playing well, the team's playing well. But share with the folks.

756
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 2: I believe the Clippers move into their new and two

757
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 2: arena here in a few months, and it makes for

758
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 2: a nice commitment to the fans that they're looks like

759
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 2: they're hell bent on building a winner.

760
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, they're going to open the end to it

761
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 8: domin Englewood next season, and so by securing Kawhi Leonard

762
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 8: to an extension, that ensures that they have a star

763
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 8: player in the ability. But I think the bigger thing

764
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 8: with this is that there is certainly comfort level that

765
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 8: Kawhi has been mostly injury free this season. He's playing

766
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 8: a high level. And while there certainly is risk for

767
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 8: the Clippers to commit another extension to a player that's

768
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 8: missed you know, a good chunk of his games, both

769
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 8: in the regular season and the playoffs, he is further

770
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:56,800
Speaker 8: and further removed from recovering from that ACL injury in

771
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 8: the twenty twenty one playoffs are required, and even with

772
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 8: the meniscus tear and his right knee you know, during

773
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 8: the playoffs last season, he was able to get a

774
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 8: procedure this offseason, and so with securing Kawhi to vote

775
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 8: confidence with his play and health. And also I think

776
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 8: it's a voted confidence that this can create a momentum

777
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 8: effect for Paul George to your career, to extension, maybe

778
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 8: James Harden And you know, I know that we're talking

779
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 8: a few months ago just how this chemistry wasn't going

780
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 8: well and it wasn't a fit. And two months later

781
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 8: they're one of the best teams in the NBA. So

782
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 8: it's very interesting to see how things quickly turned her.

783
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 2: One hundred percent agree, And I'm always rooting for my

784
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 2: buddy Ben Maller. Just once I like to see the

785
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 2: Clippers get over the hump. All right. Other news this

786
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 2: past week that I think was much more headline worthy. Durraw,

787
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,760
Speaker 2: try that again in English. John Mornt out for the season.

788
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 2: Tell us about his injury and what the narrative has

789
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 2: been surrounding that. It seems really sort of cryptic in

790
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 2: a sense.

791
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 8: Well, it's kind of self explanatory that he's going to

792
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 8: be out for the season. I mean he had a

793
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 8: shoulder injury at the beginning when he suffered that they

794
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,760
Speaker 8: listened him as his day to day and he missed

795
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 8: a game and then all of a sudden they said, yeah,

796
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 8: it's skin to require surgery. And it's really crazy because

797
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 8: he already obviously missed the first twenty five games because

798
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 8: of the suspension with the Instagram live fiasco incidents with

799
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,800
Speaker 8: him flashing firearms. But there was very much a feeling

800
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 8: talking to people in the Kersies organization that won he

801
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 8: was on his best behavior too, that there was optimism

802
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 8: that this team could make a late season pushed to

803
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 8: climb out of the Western Conference base and become a

804
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 8: dangerous playoff team. And the fact that they were six

805
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 8: and three without John Morant, the fact that he was

806
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,320
Speaker 8: playing such a high level, the fact that Desmond Bane

807
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 8: and Jared Jackson junior Marcus Smart playing at a high level.

808
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 8: I tend to believe. But now it's just fallen like

809
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 8: a house of cards. John Morant's hurt, Desmond Bane has

810
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 8: had some injuries, Marcus Smart has had some injuries, and

811
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 8: while those players are expected to be back, John Morant's

812
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 8: out for the season, Brandon Clark was already nursing a

813
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 8: long storm injury with his achilles. Steven Adams is already

814
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 8: out for the season, so this is really just a

815
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 8: mulligan year now for them to develop young guys and

816
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 8: you know, obviously hope that they get some lottery ping

817
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:30,320
Speaker 8: pong balls that bounce their away.

818
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 2: I agree that the team was playing well. They were

819
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 2: clearly sparked by Moran's return, and John Rant was playing well.

820
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:43,280
Speaker 2: So it's really kind of a bummer to see that. Well,

821
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 2: it looks like he's back. It's just a matter of time.

822
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 2: When we signed off last Saturday night, Mark, it was

823
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 2: within hours it was announced that the indefinite suspension of

824
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 2: Draymond Green would come to an end. Your thoughts on

825
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 2: that in the narrative surrounding it.

826
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I think that the twelve game suspension it

827
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 8: was appropriate. It was more than the five game suspension

828
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 8: that he had after putting Rudy Gilbert in a choke hold.

829
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 8: When you looked at NBA precedent, you know, Metaworld Peace

830
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 8: back in the twenty eleven twelve season served ten games

831
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 8: for giving James Harden a concussion after elbowing him in

832
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 8: the face. So the length is fine. It was also

833
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 8: in light of the fact that the NBA wanted to

834
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 8: make sure that you know, he was being accountable for

835
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 8: his actions seeking treatment in terms of counseling therapy. But

836
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 8: the thing that is funneling to me is hearing Draymond's

837
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 8: explanation during his thirty six minute press conference. It was

838
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 8: a lot of word salad, where you know, he's kind

839
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:59,359
Speaker 8: of complicating the simplicity of it in the sense that

840
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 8: all he needs to do moving forward is not punch

841
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 8: a dude in the face and not put a guy

842
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 8: in a choke hold, and that's all he need to

843
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 8: do is avoid suspensions, ejections, etc. But when he's talking

844
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 8: about all this stuff about his emotions and how he's

845
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 8: seeking help, like, I'm sensitive and empathetic to it, but

846
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:23,280
Speaker 8: I feel like that they've just really convoluted the message

847
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 8: that at the end of the day, Draymond's had a

848
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 8: track record for better and for worse, that he's this

849
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 8: intensely competitive player, great defender, but he often argues with

850
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,280
Speaker 8: the refs and all that, and he'll be the first

851
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 8: to admit, as he did in this press conference, that

852
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 8: a leopard doesn't change its spots. But I don't think

853
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 8: it should be asking much for him moving forward. Don't

854
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 8: punch a guy in the face, don't put him in

855
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 8: a choke hold. He said that he will not do

856
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 8: these sort of annexs, So I guess it's wait and see.

857
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 8: But it was a little disappointing to hear that. Well,

858
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 8: I do understand he means a lots of the Warriors

859
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 8: organization they want to kind of show, you know, a

860
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 8: compassionate message to him. It just feels like it convolutes

861
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 8: everything and then almost there is a danger of that

862
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 8: allowing him to escape accountability here. So now at this

863
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 8: point it's put up or shut up, and we'll see

864
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 8: what happens once he gets on the court where.

865
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 2: I threw a flag? Is that was you know, that

866
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 2: was the largest word salad in history, bigger than the

867
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:32,359
Speaker 2: Big Salad on the Seinfeld Show because he contributed himself. Mark,

868
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 2: You're right about the leopard doesn't change his spots, but

869
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 2: he can learn from his antics. And then talking about

870
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 2: maybe retiring with Adam Silver because it was too much.

871
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 2: What's too much? He had seven incidents, they weren't antics,

872
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 2: two or three of them were borderline criminal. And yes,

873
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 2: twelve games maybe not be enough. I do not think

874
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,760
Speaker 2: he will straighten up and fly right for the remainder

875
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 2: of his career. There's going to be another incident, just

876
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 2: my opinion. If he doesn't, I'll I'll retract it or

877
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 2: I'll apologize, whatever the case may be. But he was

878
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 2: so all over the map. I just don't believe he

879
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 2: really has changed. And I think deep down in his

880
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 2: heart he believes he's justified for everything he's done. So look,

881
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 2: do you think there's any nexus between the fact that

882
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 2: Chris Paul goes down and the commissioner said, Okay, that's

883
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 2: not enough. That's enough, we need more stars back in

884
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 2: the game.

885
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 8: I don't tend to believe those kind of conspiracy theories.

886
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 9: I do think.

887
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 8: I do think though, that Adam Silver, he's someone that

888
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 8: has personal relationships with guys. I think that his there's

889
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 8: surely motivation. The NBA benefits when they had their star players.

890
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 8: But I think that he was someone that was, you know,

891
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 8: making sure that Draymond's not speaking out of turn and

892
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 8: realizing what the ramifications are and in fairness, I mean,

893
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 8: only only Draymond and Adam truly know. But I'll be

894
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 8: really surprised if it ever got to the road down

895
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 8: the point that Draymond actually did retire. I mean, you're

896
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 8: leaving so much money on the table. And I think

897
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 8: the bigger thing is, as he said his press conference,

898
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 8: like for him to flee that that denies him a

899
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 8: chance to try to rectify. So I will answer what

900
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 8: you're saying, and three quick thoughts here. I share your skepticism.

901
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 8: I don't think that he's going to fundamentally change. He's

902
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 8: going to get texts, he's going to get injections, maybe suspensions,

903
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 8: But I do have optimism that he's going to avoid

904
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 8: the kind of drastic suspensions where you know, he's not

905
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 8: punching guys, putting guys in choke holds, doing anything like that.

906
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:42,320
Speaker 8: I think from the availability standpoint, he's going to improve

907
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:45,760
Speaker 8: on that. But here is a challenging part. The Warriors

908
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 8: are below five hundred. They're not the same kind of

909
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:52,439
Speaker 8: team that they were during the championship seasons, and it's

910
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 8: been tough slooting. Outside of Steph Curry, everyone on the

911
00:50:55,960 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 8: team has been wildly inconsistent. There's a reason why you

912
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 8: know that the Warriors are expected to be looking at

913
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 8: trades lead out of the February eighth trade deadline. So

914
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 8: as much as the Warriors need Rahim On for his

915
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 8: defense intense et cetera, like, I don't know if that's

916
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 8: enough alone to solve the Warriors issues, because they have

917
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 8: a lot Mark.

918
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,240
Speaker 2: Great Stuff as always, and one of my favorite times

919
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 2: of the year is when we head toward the trade deadline,

920
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 2: which is it February seventh this.

921
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 8: Year, February eighth.

922
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:31,879
Speaker 2: February eighth. Okay, sounds good, buddy, and coming up next week,

923
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 2: hopefully maybe you'll have some previews as some things coming

924
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 2: down the pike, because sometimes it looks like it's the

925
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 2: quiet before the storm and then there's a major blockbuster.

926
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:41,879
Speaker 2: So I'm particularly watching the Warriors, who say they're open

927
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,400
Speaker 2: for business, and the Lakers, who, in spite of their

928
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,879
Speaker 2: two big stars being healthy, their offense is more fun.

929
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 2: Mark great Stuff as always, Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

930
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 8: I appreciate you, my man.

931
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:56,360
Speaker 2: That is Mark Medina, Medina Magic, our Fox Sports Radio

932
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 2: NBA guru. Clearly you can see he very much had

933
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 2: as his finger on the pulse and we really appreciate

934
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 2: his efforts and his reportage. We have him on every week,

935
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 2: even during the summer, because there's always stuff happening in

936
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 2: the NBA. Coming up, I want to bring in the crew.

937
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 2: There are four games left in Super Wildcard week and

938
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 2: a doubleheader Sunday and now a doubleheader Monday. But three

939
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:23,240
Speaker 2: of the four I think have really started to formulate

940
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 2: their own storylines which can add pressure. Which of these

941
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:33,399
Speaker 2: teams has the most pressure on them? I'm an only

942
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 2: list three, The Eagles, the Cowboys, are the Lions, and

943
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 2: we'll get the crew and get their thoughts as to

944
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 2: who they believe has the most pressure coming out of

945
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 2: the Wildcard Super wild Card weekend. I'm Bernie frattlew're comedy

Speaker 2: posted right after we get off the air. All right,

963
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 2: some interesting games coming up. The group think Echo Chamber

964
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 2: is working overtime. If the Cowboys losing home with the Packers,

965
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,839
Speaker 2: could Mike McCarthy be fired. If Nick Sirianni loses at

966
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay, could he be fired? Or because the poor

967
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 2: Lions fans have been suffering since Clinton was president, do

968
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 2: they have the most pressure? Kevin figures, Let's start with you.

969
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 2: Do you have thoughts on this? Of those three organizations,

970
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 2: which do you think genuinely has the most pressure in

971
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 2: their wild card game?

972
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:11,840
Speaker 7: Probably Dallas, just because there's always pressure on the Cowboy

973
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 7: head coach and they fall in short so often and

974
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 7: have been so talented over the last few years. I

975
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 7: think Detroit to a certain degree. I know you're at

976
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 7: home and the team is jazzed up in the franchise

977
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,360
Speaker 7: and all that, but I believe that Dan Campbell's playing

978
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 7: with a little bit of house money. To a certain degree,

979
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 7: you know, considering how bad the organization was when he

980
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,799
Speaker 7: took over to where they are now, they've made huge strides. Well,

981
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,280
Speaker 7: even if they lose to the Rams, I don't think.

982
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:34,880
Speaker 1: It's as dire.

983
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 7: And I still think that in a certain sense that

984
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 7: Mike McCarthy will be safe in Dallas. But if you're asking,

985
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 7: of those three situations, who has the most pressure, I

986
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:45,320
Speaker 7: would say it will be Mark Mike McCarthy.

987
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 2: I completely agree, because Jerry Jones is eighty one years old.

988
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 2: And do I really think you would fire McCarthy if

989
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 2: they lost it home to Green Bay? I don't know.

990
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 2: I don't think so, but it's being talked about and

991
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 2: all of a sudden Bill Bell available. However, if you

992
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:05,319
Speaker 2: know Belichick, I don't think he would work under that

993
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 2: environment in Dallas. I know Bill. Bill Parcells is about

994
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 2: seventy five percent of Bill Belichick when it comes to

995
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 2: being a control freak, and I don't think he liked

996
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 2: it down there. That's a very measured response. Dan Campbell's

997
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 2: not getting fired, no so. And sure the Lions won

998
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 2: the division this year, but I can tell you there

999
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 2: were tons of dollars last August. I don't know we'll

1000
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,399
Speaker 2: see Samuel Lions No no, no, wrong, and you're still

1001
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 2: people are still saying it. I agree with your response.

1002
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 7: I thought you were a curveball Bernie on this one.

1003
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 7: As far as pressure this weekend, what about Sean McDermott

1004
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 7: and Buffalo.

1005
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 2: Not I thought of that. I thought of that.

1006
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,280
Speaker 7: I don't think it's likely that they lose to Pittsburgh,

1007
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 7: but just consider if they do. This is two straight

1008
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:47,319
Speaker 7: years when you have a home playoff game where you

1009
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 7: lose to a team that you were favored against. You're

1010
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:52,399
Speaker 7: coming off of that final twelve seconds against Kansas City

1011
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:54,720
Speaker 7: a couple of years ago in the postseason where you lost.

1012
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:57,359
Speaker 7: You had to fire your offensive coordinator earlier this year,

1013
00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 7: and I can mentioned a second ago. You have the

1014
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 7: likes of peak Kem, Bill Belichick, posentially Jim Harball all available,

1015
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 7: and if that job were to open up, it's probably

1016
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,279
Speaker 7: the second best job because you have a quarterback, just

1017
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:10,840
Speaker 7: like the Chargers have a franchise quarterback already in hand.

1018
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 1: That will be one to keep an eye on.

1019
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 7: I don't think Pittsburgh would beat Buffalo, but if that

1020
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 7: were to happen, it wouldn't surprise me at all.

1021
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 1: If Sean McDermott got.

1022
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 2: It, okay, duly noted because the playoffs are a fickle beast,

1023
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 2: and I would just say this about that. I don't

1024
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:30,240
Speaker 2: want to disavow the fact that Sean McDermott is feeling pressure,

1025
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 2: but does he feel more than Jerry, Mike McCarthy or

1026
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:37,839
Speaker 2: even Nick Serriyani. Those are two being openly talked about, right,

1027
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 2: And so we'll see why this weekend is going to

1028
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 2: be so fun to watch. Share your thoughts on this.

1029
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'd have to agree with Kfig on this. I

1030
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:52,720
Speaker 10: don't really see the Lions coach getting fired. I mean,

1031
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 10: he's a great coach. He almost won Coach of the

1032
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 10: Year last year. I mean obviously this year the Lions

1033
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 10: didn't amount to what they were supposed to be. But again,

1034
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:01,880
Speaker 10: thought they were being over hyped in the preseason.

1035
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 2: What were they? What were they supposed to be?

1036
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 10: Well, everyone was saying, everyone was saying that they were

1037
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,799
Speaker 10: going to lead lead the division. It was their year,

1038
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 10: they were finally coming in. I mean I heard it,

1039
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 10: everyone was saying it. I mean, but I thought you

1040
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 10: said they weren't what they were supposed to be. What

1041
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 10: were they they?

1042
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 2: I thought they exceeded expectations. Seriously, I thought that, well,

1043
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 2: I said they'd be ten and seven minimum and win

1044
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, art win the Division and and you know,

1045
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 2: I'm the one that said Dan Campbell getting fired, And

1046
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 2: I would just say this, and I want you to

1047
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 2: let you finish it, give you plenty of very time.

1048
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 2: But the point is, the point is no one's talking

1049
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 2: about what happens if the Lions lose. Everybody's talking about

1050
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 2: what happens if Dallas and Philadelphia lose. And I don't

1051
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 2: want to put words in them out. I'm on record

1052
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 2: as I think Dallas has the most pressure by far

1053
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:53,439
Speaker 2: because Jerry's eighty one and the rest is history. Yeah,

1054
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:55,439
Speaker 2: you could continue on with your thoughts. I just wanted

1055
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 2: to make sure you understood my position.

1056
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 10: Go ahead, No, I agree with I can agree with

1057
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 10: you there. I agree that that Dallas is probably in

1058
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 10: the most dire situation. In this situation, the one that

1059
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 10: a close second would probably be Nick Sirianni and the

1060
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 10: third would be the Lions. I was just saying the

1061
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 10: Lions compared to what people were saying in the beginning

1062
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 10: of the season, in my opinion, didn't amount to what

1063
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 10: they were saying, but no, I have to agree with you, guys.

1064
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 10: It's it's it's Michae McCarthy one hundred percent. I mean, yeah,

1065
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 10: you could say Nick Sirianni just because of the fall

1066
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 10: off that they had, and you could say, again, they've

1067
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 10: just fallen to nothing and in the postseason, which is

1068
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 10: completely annoying to see as a fan. I completely agree,

1069
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 10: But I mean, are you I'm not a Philly fan,

1070
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 10: but I'm just around it a lot, just being around

1071
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 10: Anthony Gargano and working with him a lot.

1072
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

1073
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 10: So so I see it a lot. I went to

1074
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 10: the game out here, and so if I've been around it.

1075
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 10: A lot of my friends are Philly fans. It's just

1076
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 10: seeing it. It's just it seems like everyone's ready to

1077
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 10: move on, but they don't know what they want to

1078
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 10: move on from. It's I don't know if it's Nick Sirianni,

1079
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 10: like they don't know if it's Shaling Hurts, but they

1080
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 10: needs to be a change in Philly, and no one

1081
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 10: knows what it needs to be.

1082
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and man, they've been tinkering a lot. I mean

1083
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 2: they were ten and one and they fire their offensive

1084
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 2: coordinator and and for the record, I believe Philly's gonna

1085
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 2: be Tampa Bay. I do. I think I think they'll

1086
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 2: They have enough junk in the trunk. They are the

1087
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 2: super Bowl. They were in the Super Bowl last year.

1088
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 2: I just feel they are. I might not a phrase

1089
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 2: the question properly, and why I'm saying that is I

1090
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 2: am couching this from the standpoint of this is what's

1091
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 2: being talked about. So in a sense, I'm reacting to

1092
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:39,920
Speaker 2: what you always hear me say as a group think

1093
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 2: echo chamber. There are actually people saying that Nick Siriana

1094
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 2: could be fired if Philly loses. There are actually people

1095
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 2: saying Jerry could fire Mike McCarthy if he loses. The

1096
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 2: only reason they're saying that the Lions have pressures because

1097
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 2: they haven't won a playoff game in thirty years. But

1098
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 2: having worked in that market, the fans are so excited.

1099
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 2: They'll swallow hard if the Rams lose, but they'll say, hey,

1100
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 2: look what we did. We want division first time in

1101
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 2: thirty years, first home playoff game for Field was even

1102
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 2: a hole in the ground the last time the Lions

1103
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 2: had a home playoff game. Let's just take it and

1104
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 2: build from there. That's they'll cry in their beer for

1105
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 2: a few days. But as far as pressure, like Mike

1106
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 2: McCarthy's gotta be feeling, especially with his last two playoff appearances.

1107
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna tell you shit, I think Philly's gonna win.

1108
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 2: I think Philly's gonna win. So that'll be off the table.

1109
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:26,440
Speaker 2: Is Ian with us?

1110
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:28,440
Speaker 11: Tomatie Ian is not with us.

1111
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 10: He'll be with us next week though, Okay, yeah he'll

1112
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 10: be He'll be with us next week.

1113
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 2: Okay, Mark Ramsey, did you want to weigh in on.

1114
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 12: This, yes, Commissioner Frado, So, out of my choices, I

1115
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 12: think Dallas has the most pressure because the Detroit Lions,

1116
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:48,040
Speaker 12: from my understanding, they're on a magic carpet ride. They're

1117
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 12: just loving what they've been doing, and their Detroit is

1118
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 12: so happy that they've gotten this far. It's been great

1119
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 12: for them. But Dallas, I think has the biggest pressure

1120
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 12: because year after year with Dak so far, they've got

1121
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:06,960
Speaker 12: to a certain point and they drop off the table

1122
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 12: like a really bad curveball, and all the pressure is

1123
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 12: on them to finally finally get over the hump and

1124
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 12: become credible and become the Dallas Cowboys again.

1125
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 1: The pressure is on the Cowboys.

1126
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 2: Take that response right there, frame it. Put it in

1127
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 2: the louver next to the Mona Lisa, because you just

1128
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 2: characterize exactly how the city Detroit is feeling. They're on

1129
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 2: a magic carpet ride. Do they want to win? Yes,

1130
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 2: but it's not like this situation in Dallas. For you

1131
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 2: got an eighty one year old owner that's getting each

1132
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:44,000
Speaker 2: year by the day, and Dallas has had two very

1133
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 2: unceremonious playoff exits in the last couple of years and

1134
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 2: looked bad doing it. Let's go back around the room

1135
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:58,840
Speaker 2: one more time. All of the three Cowboys, Lions, Eagles, Shay,

1136
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 2: which one do you feel the most confident that will

1137
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 2: win and the most confident might lose?

1138
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 10: The most confident that they win. I think it's the

1139
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:13,720
Speaker 10: Oh my god, that's such a good question, Bernie, because it's.

1140
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 2: It's I can come back to you if you want,

1141
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 2: big fella.

1142
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 10: No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm I just wanted

1143
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 10: to discuss it like it was I I kind of

1144
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 10: I almost said the Eagles just straight away, but it's

1145
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 10: it's almost like I feel like the Rams and and

1146
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:32,920
Speaker 10: Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay.

1147
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:35,080
Speaker 11: I mean, I don't know.

1148
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:39,800
Speaker 10: There's something about Matthew Stafford, the storyline, something about that,

1149
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 10: the confidence that comes with it. It's it's like you're playing

1150
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 10: your old team. It's just a fire that's not there.

1151
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:47,400
Speaker 10: But again, if I was just looking at it from

1152
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 10: a team point of view, I would just I would

1153
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:50,560
Speaker 10: have to say the Eagles.

1154
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 2: Most confident they will win? Yeah, fair enough, Uh, Kevin

1155
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 2: figures your thoughts. Most confident that of those three will win.

1156
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 7: My most confident that they'll win is Dallas because they've

1157
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 7: been so dominant at home, even though they've had a

1158
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 7: lot of close calls lately, and their offense is humming,

1159
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 7: and I trust their defense more than I trust Green Bays,

1160
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:13,080
Speaker 7: even though I know green Bays offense has been better.

1161
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,720
Speaker 7: So I trust Dallas to be able to win at

1162
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 7: home and the one I trust the least to be

1163
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,760
Speaker 7: able to win. I'll be honest with you, the way

1164
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 7: things are looking at this moment in time, I'd say Philadelphia, yeah,

1165
01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 7: because they've been so shaky lately. And look, Tampa Bay

1166
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 7: is inconsistent. But if you know, if you separate the

1167
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 7: records and look at these two teams, they've been just

1168
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 7: as inconsistent. I'd say the last two months of the season,

1169
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 7: so that game could literally go either way. So I'd

1170
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 7: say Philadelphia is the one who's least likely to win.

1171
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 2: Mark Ramsey, you got the last word.

1172
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 12: I think Philly is the team that is most confident

1173
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 12: to win because they've been sliding the past couple of weeks.

1174
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:56,959
Speaker 12: And I think they've been a better team, but they've

1175
01:03:56,960 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 12: been a little shaky for whatever reason. But here's that

1176
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:05,920
Speaker 12: magic statement. It's a must win game, one of those statements.

1177
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:09,480
Speaker 12: And I think the Phillies will, the Eagles will get

1178
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:13,680
Speaker 12: themselves together and confidently win this game.

1179
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:18,000
Speaker 2: And of the three, which do you think is the

1180
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 2: most danger that you if you had to confidently predict

1181
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 2: one of the three is gonna lose, just without even

1182
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 2: overthinking it, which one would it be?

1183
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,280
Speaker 1: And to lose? What are the three again?

1184
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 2: Did you talk about Philly, Dallas and Detroit?

1185
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 12: Phillis Dallion, don't.

1186
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:41,520
Speaker 1: We'll lose, We'll lose, We'll lose Phyllis, Detroit.

1187
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:45,080
Speaker 2: Okay, So for what it's worth, guys, I think all

1188
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:47,440
Speaker 2: three are gonna win. And I'll get into my handicap

1189
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 2: later about an hour from an hour or so, I'll

1190
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 2: get into a deep dive handicap with analysis and thoughts

1191
01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:57,920
Speaker 2: and storylines. I think Philly's gonna win, I think Detroit's

1192
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 2: gonna win, and I think I think Dallas is gonna win.

1193
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 2: The think about Dallas. I'll leave you with this thought, good,

1194
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:08,640
Speaker 2: good discussion. These are the games Dallas does win. I

1195
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:11,919
Speaker 2: don't think they'll biff this one. I don't. It's the

1196
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 2: next game they're gonna biff, and we'll talk about it

1197
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 2: and next week coming up as promised. If you're wondering

1198
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 2: why it's taking so long for your favorite NFL team

1199
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 2: to have hired their head coach already, well I'm gonna

1200
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 2: share with you the reality of NFL head coach interviews

1201
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:35,919
Speaker 2: and processes and rules so you can be well armed

1202
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 2: with this information when you argue with your friends at

1203
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:40,000
Speaker 2: the bar or your favorite beverage. But first to go

1204
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 2: back to our guy, Kevin Figers with the latest, Hi Bernie.

1205
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 1: With two of those three teams who were just discussing.

1206
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 7: Dallas and Detroit will be hosting home playoff games coming

1207
01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:50,560
Speaker 7: up on Sunday. The two home playoff games on Saturday

1208
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 7: went to the home teams, the Chiefs dominating Miami twenty

1209
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 7: six to seven. The Dolphins came in rings seventh in

1210
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 7: the NFL and stopping the run, but they allowed one

1211
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 7: hundred and forty six yards on the ground to Kansas City. Meanwhile,

1212
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 7: the Dolphins top ranked rushing attack was held to just

1213
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 7: seventy six yards rushing.

1214
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 1: Earlier Houston beating the Browns top ring defense.

1215
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 7: They allowed eight yards per play in three touchdown passes

1216
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:13,520
Speaker 7: to CJ. Stroud in the first half alone, as that

1217
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:15,800
Speaker 7: Texans offense lit them up in a forty five to

1218
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:18,479
Speaker 7: fourteen victory. By the way, Joe Flacco sacked four times

1219
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:21,480
Speaker 7: and through two interceptions that were returned for touchdowns in

1220
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 7: the third quarter. In the NBA, Utah defeated the Lakers,

1221
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:26,959
Speaker 7: who were without Lebron James. Final score there one thirty

1222
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:29,760
Speaker 7: two to one. Twenty five Oklahoma City with a victory

1223
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 7: over Orlando won twelve to one ten. That's four straight

1224
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:35,400
Speaker 7: wins there for the Thunder Boston, Milwaukee and the Knicks

1225
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:38,400
Speaker 7: with victories. In college basketball, third rank Kansas beat number

1226
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:41,880
Speaker 7: nine Oklahoma, while Washington State upset eighth ranked Arizona. It's

1227
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:45,280
Speaker 7: hecu a one point upset victory over second ranked Houston,

1228
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 7: who's lost two games in a row. All right, back

1229
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 7: to Bernie Freddo.

1230
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:52,240
Speaker 2: All right, thanks, good, good discussion, guys, good thought put

1231
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:56,840
Speaker 2: into that, because what are they saying any given Sunday

1232
01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 2: in the National Football League. Well, that's even more prevalent.

1233
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 2: And the players trust me, I promise you have seen

1234
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 2: it all. All right, So here's the situation regarding this

1235
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:11,040
Speaker 2: NFL head coach interview process. And the rules are eight

1236
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 2: openings will once been filled, Jared Mayo will succeed Bill Belichick.

1237
01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 2: So they're at least seven. And if you believe Mike

1238
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:24,439
Speaker 2: Florio of Pro Football Networks, he reported today that after

1239
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh has played their final game, whatever that is, Mike

1240
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:31,440
Speaker 2: Tomlin will take a minute to look in word and

1241
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:34,200
Speaker 2: have a caucus with his family, and there he'll decide

1242
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 2: what he wants to do. Kind of cryptic. Do I

1243
01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 2: think you'd be back with Pittsburgh? I hope. So he's

1244
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 2: done a phenomenal job, but he's human. Maybe he's had enough.

1245
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 2: You just never know, all right, But there's going to

1246
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:47,400
Speaker 2: be at least seven openings. So here are the series

1247
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:50,280
Speaker 2: of rules that the NFL has to do. NFL teams

1248
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 2: have to abide by pertaining to their head coach interview.

1249
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:55,120
Speaker 2: So if you are a team with a head with

1250
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 2: an open head coaching position, well, you were able to

1251
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:04,600
Speaker 2: begin resting interviews with candidates from other teams April or

1252
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:11,440
Speaker 2: January eighth. Now those interviews actually happened to happen virtually

1253
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 2: before the end of the divisional round games, and that's

1254
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:18,240
Speaker 2: still a week from Sunday. Now, the NFL has a

1255
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:21,719
Speaker 2: recommendation for these teams too, that these teams with open

1256
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:26,479
Speaker 2: head coaching positions use this virtual interview window. That way

1257
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:30,479
Speaker 2: you can start to evaluate candidates and set up the

1258
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:34,000
Speaker 2: initial interviews, so those teams are eligibly request a second

1259
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 2: interview with a candidate from a super Bowl team. You know,

1260
01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:39,080
Speaker 2: if your team has made the Super Bowl during the

1261
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:41,800
Speaker 2: bye week, it's you try to get the best of

1262
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 2: a world because you know you're damna if you don't.

1263
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 2: What if you're a high falutant offensive coordinator candidate or

1264
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:48,640
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator but your team is in the playoffs, you

1265
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:51,719
Speaker 2: don't want that to negate your opportunity to be hired

1266
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:54,040
Speaker 2: by our team. Because the NFL teams want to get

1267
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:58,200
Speaker 2: these decisions made as humanly possible as fast as humanly possible.

1268
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,240
Speaker 2: Within reason, you got the draft coming up, you get

1269
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 2: all kinds of things. By the way, one thing to note, though,

1270
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 2: teams may not interview employees of other teams that didn't

1271
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 2: make the postseason until the third day after the Week

1272
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 2: eighteen game. I know that sounds a little confusing, but

1273
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:20,639
Speaker 2: again it tries to create a level playing field. Now

1274
01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:24,360
Speaker 2: Here are the interview requirements for the coaches of teams

1275
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 2: in the postseason. If an employer team has a buye

1276
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:32,919
Speaker 2: in the wildcard round, that would be of course Baltimore

1277
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 2: and San Francisco. Virtual interviews. Well, they could begin three

1278
01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:42,559
Speaker 2: days after the Week eighteen games, which would have been

1279
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:47,599
Speaker 2: January ninth or tenth, whichever was applicable because some team's

1280
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 2: played different times, but it must happen before the end

1281
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:55,720
Speaker 2: of this weekend in the wildcard games. So if an

1282
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:59,679
Speaker 2: employer team is participating in the wildcard round, again, virtual

1283
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 2: interview they can also begin three days after the team's

1284
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:07,000
Speaker 2: wildcard game, but they must happen before the end of

1285
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 2: next Sunday in the divisional games. So, if you are

1286
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:14,000
Speaker 2: a wildcard team and you played either Saturday or Sunday,

1287
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:18,120
Speaker 2: you're and you have designs on interviewing with another team

1288
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 2: and you're a coach. Those virtual interviews they can't start

1289
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 2: till January sixteenth, which I believe is Tuesday. If you

1290
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 2: played a Monday game, they can't start till January seventeenth,

1291
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:33,040
Speaker 2: which I believe is Wednesday. Now, starting on January twenty second,

1292
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:37,320
Speaker 2: this is the day after the divisional round ends, teams

1293
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:40,920
Speaker 2: where they can conduct in person or virtual interviews with

1294
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 2: candidates that are employed by other NFL teams as long

1295
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:48,959
Speaker 2: as their season has ended. Now, teams cannot hold initial

1296
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:52,479
Speaker 2: interviews with candidates that are employed by teams that are

1297
01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:57,200
Speaker 2: either in the AFC or NFC Championship game until the

1298
01:10:57,280 --> 01:11:01,439
Speaker 2: end of the season. Now, seconds are not allowed till

1299
01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:05,040
Speaker 2: January twenty ninth, So if a candidate has an employer team,

1300
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:08,840
Speaker 2: they cannot voluntarily even grant permission for those interviews. So

1301
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:11,439
Speaker 2: these are hard and fast rules that everybody has to

1302
01:11:11,479 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 2: play by now. Starting January twenty ninth through February fourth,

1303
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:20,400
Speaker 2: this is the bye week between the conference championships and

1304
01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. The second interviews, whether it can be

1305
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:26,280
Speaker 2: either in person or virtual, they're allowed with head coach

1306
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:30,080
Speaker 2: candidates employed by teams that are in the Super Bowl,

1307
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:36,160
Speaker 2: So let's say, for giggles, the Lions and the Buffalo

1308
01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:39,320
Speaker 2: Bills make the Super Bowl. Just for purposes of this conversation,

1309
01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:43,080
Speaker 2: a guy like Ben Johnson, he would be allowed to

1310
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:46,920
Speaker 2: interview either in person or virtual during the bye week.

1311
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:49,000
Speaker 2: If the team makes the Super Bowl and the team

1312
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:52,400
Speaker 2: conducting those interviews, then of course they have to notify

1313
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:55,639
Speaker 2: the employer team and the team would have to grant permission.

1314
01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 2: But the NFL does a pretty good job of working

1315
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:03,320
Speaker 2: through these things. Not a lot of conflict. Conflict. Now,

1316
01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:05,800
Speaker 2: if you have contact with head coach candidates in the

1317
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:10,719
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, that's not allowed between February fourth and February twelfth.

1318
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 2: That's the week heading into the Super Bowl, all right,

1319
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:16,760
Speaker 2: and that, by the way, the day after the Super Bowl.

1320
01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:22,400
Speaker 2: So no contracts, no contract announcements, no contract agreements. That

1321
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:25,600
Speaker 2: is never permitted until after the team that has the

1322
01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:28,360
Speaker 2: employee that is a Super Bowl or that is a

1323
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:32,479
Speaker 2: head coach candidate is hired. How about college coaches, We

1324
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 2: haven't talked about that because the NFL really doesn't address

1325
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 2: college coaches. Teams can interview those coaches like a Jim

1326
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:44,519
Speaker 2: Harbaugh now anytime they want, and as you heard reported,

1327
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 2: no secret Hardball will be meeting with the Chargers this week. Now,

1328
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:52,640
Speaker 2: teams often hear about the Rooney Rule. You give it

1329
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 2: up to Matt Millen, the only owner or the only

1330
01:12:55,080 --> 01:13:00,599
Speaker 2: executive in history to violate the Rooney Rule twice. Well,

1331
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:03,479
Speaker 2: teams must abide by this role. It's a policy that

1332
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:08,439
Speaker 2: requires organizations to interview candidates from minority groups for head coach,

1333
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:12,760
Speaker 2: general manager, and executive positions. THRILL was adopted twenty years ago,

1334
01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 2: named after Dan Rooney. He's the former owner of the

1335
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:20,040
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers and he's actually chairman of the NFL's Workplace

1336
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:23,640
Speaker 2: Diversity Committee. So DRILL was established to increase diversity in

1337
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:26,840
Speaker 2: team leadership and they haven't manuted it a few times

1338
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:30,160
Speaker 2: since it was introduced. It now it includes women, etc.

1339
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:34,520
Speaker 2: And not just head coaches, but various roles within the organization.

1340
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:38,799
Speaker 2: So regarding head coaching jobs teams, well, you must conduct

1341
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:42,560
Speaker 2: an in person interview with at least two external candidates

1342
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 2: who are people of color and or women. Virtual interviews

1343
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:51,960
Speaker 2: don't satisfy the Rooney rule requirements for the NFL. So

1344
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:57,800
Speaker 2: if you're a Raiders fan and you dearly want Antonio Peers, well,

1345
01:13:57,840 --> 01:13:59,439
Speaker 2: I think should get the job. I don't think Mark

1346
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:04,880
Speaker 2: Davis should mess around, and I've already explained why many times. Uh,

1347
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:08,080
Speaker 2: the Raiders can't do that until they've satisfied the Rooney

1348
01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:11,800
Speaker 2: rule and I and there's still gonna be a bit

1349
01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:13,479
Speaker 2: of a delay there because the Raiders haven't named the

1350
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:15,439
Speaker 2: new GM yet, and they're talking about doing that this week.

1351
01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:17,880
Speaker 2: So they've said they're gonna they are going to name

1352
01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:21,439
Speaker 2: their new GM first and then they are going to,

1353
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:27,000
Speaker 2: of course, you know, get their head coach. And I'm

1354
01:14:27,040 --> 01:14:29,240
Speaker 2: told that Mark Davis really wants to go big name

1355
01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:32,519
Speaker 2: hunting one more time. He went big hunting name hunting

1356
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:36,120
Speaker 2: with Gruden. How that work? He should have kept Rich Pasacia,

1357
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:40,400
Speaker 2: who led the team through the dregs. That was a

1358
01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:41,080
Speaker 2: terrible year.

1359
01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:41,519
Speaker 9: That year.

1360
01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 2: You had the John Gruden fiasco, you had the Henry

1361
01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:49,360
Speaker 2: Ruggs fiasco, terrible tragedy, and somehow he Rich Pasaca, who

1362
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:51,679
Speaker 2: was the special teams coach. They won the final four games.

1363
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 2: They win into Cincinnati, could have easily won that game

1364
01:14:54,800 --> 01:14:57,320
Speaker 2: if Derek Carr hadn't gone Derek Carring like spiking the

1365
01:14:57,360 --> 01:14:59,120
Speaker 2: ball on fourth down and throwing picks and all that

1366
01:14:59,200 --> 01:14:59,719
Speaker 2: kind of stuff.

1367
01:14:59,760 --> 01:14:59,960
Speaker 9: Right.

1368
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:06,280
Speaker 2: So there you have it. This is an interesting time

1369
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:09,360
Speaker 2: because of the openings and so many qualified candidates, and

1370
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:11,879
Speaker 2: we may get into some some of the best qualified

1371
01:15:11,920 --> 01:15:13,840
Speaker 2: candidates later in the show if we have time. If not,

1372
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:16,320
Speaker 2: we'll do that next week. But still a lot of

1373
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:18,640
Speaker 2: stuff to get to. And by the way, if you

1374
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 2: are curious about just how king of the king the

1375
01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:27,960
Speaker 2: NFL is, once again the NFL dominates regular season ratings.

1376
01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:30,880
Speaker 2: How much were they up this year after already having

1377
01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:33,960
Speaker 2: astronomical ratings last year. Look, I'll just leave you with

1378
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:36,080
Speaker 2: this thought because I'm gonna get to it a minute.

1379
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 2: It appears to me that the NFL has built a

1380
01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:42,840
Speaker 2: machine that can only go forward. I will give you

1381
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:45,600

01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:23,880
Speaker 2: tyrack dot Com studios here in Las Vegas. Coming up

01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:26,840
Speaker 2: top of the hour. Dan Leech Junges from Detroit will

Speaker 2: be on site, Lions Rams, the whole world will be watching,

1396
01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:34,680
Speaker 2: just because we watch everything NFL. If you don't believe me,

1397
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:38,679
Speaker 2: the NFL just concluded the twenty twenty three regular season.

1398
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:43,120
Speaker 2: Sam fashion. Is it finished last year? Sam fashion as

1399
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:47,040
Speaker 2: it began. The NFL is in dominant position. It's only

1400
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:49,920
Speaker 2: getting stronger. As I said a minute ago, they've built

1401
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:52,280
Speaker 2: a machine. The NFL's built a machine that can only

1402
01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:56,000
Speaker 2: go forward. This is a league that averages eighteen million

1403
01:16:56,120 --> 01:16:59,679
Speaker 2: viewers per game across all networks for the regular season.

1404
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:03,160
Speaker 2: It's up seven percent from a year ago. In addition,

1405
01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:08,719
Speaker 2: you have multiple stakeholders, Amazon, CBS, ESP and Fox NBC.

1406
01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:11,160
Speaker 2: By the way, the NFL had the audacity to show

1407
01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:16,519
Speaker 2: a game on Peacock tonight, a playoff game. I don't

1408
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 2: know what the numbers are, but I'm guessing they were

1409
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:20,960
Speaker 2: probably pretty good. People might have complained, but they kept

1410
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:24,519
Speaker 2: coming back. Amazon, who wented the fray a couple of

1411
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:28,519
Speaker 2: years ago, their viewership was up twenty four percent this

1412
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:32,920
Speaker 2: year for Thursday night football. That's an average of twelve

1413
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:38,400
Speaker 2: million per game, twenty four percent increase over last year. CBS,

1414
01:17:38,439 --> 01:17:41,000
Speaker 2: of course, they were up five percent. They have an

1415
01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:44,760
Speaker 2: average of just under twenty million for overall coverage and

1416
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:47,559
Speaker 2: an average of twenty four point six million for those

1417
01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:52,120
Speaker 2: late Sunday afternoon games. CBS also had the season's most

1418
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:55,439
Speaker 2: watched game of the year. Believe it or not, it

1419
01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:59,160
Speaker 2: was between the Washington Commanders and the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving.

1420
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:04,000
Speaker 2: One point seven six million people watch that game. Incredible.

1421
01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:08,360
Speaker 2: ESPN their viewership, well, they're up twenty nine percent to

1422
01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:11,479
Speaker 2: an average of about seventeen and a half million for

1423
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:15,080
Speaker 2: every Monday night football game. Fox up two percent, an

1424
01:18:15,080 --> 01:18:17,920
Speaker 2: average of twenty four point six million for America's Game

1425
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:21,000
Speaker 2: of the Week and their national broadcasts. And finally, NBC

1426
01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:25,000
Speaker 2: up eight percent on average an average of twenty one

1427
01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:27,960
Speaker 2: point four million on Sunday Night football. I cannot tell

1428
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:32,479
Speaker 2: you how astronomical these numbers are the viewership improvement. I

1429
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:36,280
Speaker 2: know some people are going to say, well, the writers

1430
01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:39,439
Speaker 2: strike and the actors strikes, and maybe better scheduling and

1431
01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:45,599
Speaker 2: better matchups in national windows and emphasis on Christmas Day, YadA, YadA, Yah.

1432
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:49,599
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. They're here, they're coming back, they're staying

1433
01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:53,400
Speaker 2: in droves. And I would say, uh, you know the

1434
01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:58,760
Speaker 2: NFL's ratings growth, if you compare it with the broadcast

1435
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:02,799
Speaker 2: primetime viewership of other programs, which was down sixteen percent,

1436
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:06,800
Speaker 2: I would say that when you compare the NFL, which

1437
01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:10,160
Speaker 2: I believe is original entertainment, to other original entertainment programming,

1438
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:14,120
Speaker 2: it's still is king no matter what. And so there

1439
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:17,240
Speaker 2: are those that argue the rest of the broadcast landscape

1440
01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:20,360
Speaker 2: is shrinking, where the NFL just simply continues to build

1441
01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:23,519
Speaker 2: its audience. It's a machine that can only go forward.

1442
01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:27,719
Speaker 2: By the way, not for nothing, the NFL showed improvement

1443
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:32,200
Speaker 2: with other specific measures like female viewership, which rows nine

1444
01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:35,439
Speaker 2: percent to its highest level since they started keeping records

1445
01:19:35,439 --> 01:19:38,920
Speaker 2: of female viewership back in two thousand, as well as

1446
01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:43,479
Speaker 2: the best levels of viewership and the demographic people less

1447
01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:47,280
Speaker 2: in the age of thirty five So the bottom line

1448
01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:49,800
Speaker 2: is that of the Nielsen's top one hundred broadcasts for

1449
01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:52,719
Speaker 2: the entire calendar year in twenty twenty three, the NFL

1450
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 2: had ninety four of them. If that ain't domination, I

1451
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:59,280
Speaker 2: don't know what is. And yep, you and I are

1452
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:01,880
Speaker 2: all went along for the ride. What a ride it's

1453
01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:04,920
Speaker 2: going to be. Sunday night at Ford Field, Rams Lions

1468
01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:52,040
Speaker 2: never wavered that Michigan would beat Washington. You've got the floor.

1469
01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:55,920
Speaker 3: Well, Bernie, always a pleasure and honor, my friend. I

1470
01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:58,800
Speaker 3: mean you know that that's that you were questioning you

1471
01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:01,360
Speaker 3: is a great power. The power that is the day

1472
01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:02,240
Speaker 3: leased to squatch.

1473
01:21:02,320 --> 01:21:03,320
Speaker 9: But he listen.

1474
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:05,960
Speaker 3: I will tell you this, and it's not just because

1475
01:21:05,960 --> 01:21:06,880
Speaker 3: I've been a Michigan fan.

1476
01:21:06,840 --> 01:21:07,280
Speaker 9: My whole life.

1477
01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:10,040
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously I've covered the Wolverines for decades, you know,

1478
01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:12,599
Speaker 3: going back to all my time on Air ninety seven

1479
01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:14,960
Speaker 3: women taking it into various other outlets. This is the

1480
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:18,600
Speaker 3: first year in my entire life and my entire broadcasting

1481
01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:20,519
Speaker 3: career I picked the Wolverines to.

1482
01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:21,160
Speaker 9: Go twelve and zero.

1483
01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:23,519
Speaker 3: And it wasn't because it was a hopeful twelve and zero.

1484
01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:25,840
Speaker 3: It's because I believe that they were good enough to

1485
01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:29,160
Speaker 3: do whatever they did. And obviously the mantra was Michigan

1486
01:21:29,240 --> 01:21:32,000
Speaker 3: versus everybody. Well, Michigan beat everybody. And as my man

1487
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:33,920
Speaker 3: Blake Corup said, I wish I had the rights to

1488
01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:38,040
Speaker 3: this for T shirts and bugs and anything else. Business

1489
01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:40,439
Speaker 3: is finished. And I did take the Wolverines to a

1490
01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:42,280
Speaker 3: thirty four to twenty four. I think I gave washing

1491
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:44,720
Speaker 3: it a little too much credit, but exactly the way

1492
01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:46,680
Speaker 3: I thought that game would go. We talked about it

1493
01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:48,960
Speaker 3: last week when I was live in Houston, Mike Santas,

1494
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:50,720
Speaker 3: tro Will Johnson. I said one of them would have

1495
01:21:50,960 --> 01:21:54,120
Speaker 3: a Charles Woodson type ninety eight, you know, Rose Bowl

1496
01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 3: National Championships type interception. Well they both did, so I

1497
01:21:57,400 --> 01:21:59,400
Speaker 3: was off on that too, but they both had one

1498
01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:02,360
Speaker 3: of those. And to be there in person, after all

1499
01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:05,759
Speaker 3: the long years, all the failings in Bowl games with Poe,

1500
01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:08,360
Speaker 3: all the different issues that Harball had for his first

1501
01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:11,320
Speaker 3: six plus years, to see them get the job done

1502
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:15,240
Speaker 3: with seventy percent out of that crowd Michigan fans.

1503
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:17,320
Speaker 9: Not the Washington fans that show up, but it was.

1504
01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:20,320
Speaker 3: Dominating as far as the a lot of Michigan fans

1505
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:22,200
Speaker 3: that were there. It is one of the moments I

1506
01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:25,760
Speaker 3: will never forget as a sporting fan, as a broadcaster,

1507
01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:28,960
Speaker 3: and just in my entire life. To be there with

1508
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 3: so many of my great Wolverine fans. It was on

1509
01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:33,519
Speaker 3: par with anything and nothing else I could think of.

1510
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:36,000
Speaker 3: Bernie and left the Lions win a Super Bowl.

1511
01:22:37,080 --> 01:22:39,479
Speaker 2: Well it was well earned and you called it, and

1512
01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:43,679
Speaker 2: there you have it. So that's your perfect segue. Because

1513
01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:45,840
Speaker 2: what I really wanted to devote a lot of time

1514
01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:50,360
Speaker 2: to tonight, Dan is the Lions Rams. I will just

1515
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:53,760
Speaker 2: tell folks, I believe the Rams are the Lions will win.

1516
01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:57,200
Speaker 2: I've bet the Lions on the money line. But let's

1517
01:22:57,240 --> 01:23:00,920
Speaker 2: get your thoughts and share with the folks true dynamic

1518
01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:04,800
Speaker 2: and how you know how electric it's going to be

1519
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:06,559
Speaker 2: at at Ford Fields Sunday night.

1520
01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:07,320
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1521
01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:08,760
Speaker 3: By the way, I love that we're not going to

1522
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:10,559
Speaker 3: get each other on this kid, because I know it's

1523
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:13,880
Speaker 3: start getting really worried. But I'll tell you this, you know,

1524
01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:17,880
Speaker 3: being alive, fangling back to my grandpa at a road

1525
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:20,120
Speaker 3: to tickets to Tiger Stadium and in the Silver Room

1526
01:23:20,320 --> 01:23:22,400
Speaker 3: when I was a very young kid, and then being

1527
01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:24,800
Speaker 3: lucky to you know, see Barry Sanders as a young fan,

1528
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:26,600
Speaker 3: and then as a very young journalist when I was

1529
01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:28,640
Speaker 3: still an intern with my man, the Voice of the Lion,

1530
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:31,280
Speaker 3: Dan Miller Fox too, to be able to start covering

1531
01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 3: the line through the Barry Sanders years, to see all

1532
01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:38,960
Speaker 3: the long suffering decades of fandom here, but with both sides,

1533
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:40,519
Speaker 3: Bernie and obviously is a fan and someone that has

1534
01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:43,000
Speaker 3: covered the team. It doesn't the line, postgame show, pregame

1535
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:46,080
Speaker 3: show all that different stuff. To let people know, I

1536
01:23:46,120 --> 01:23:47,599
Speaker 3: think a lot of people around the country know, even

1537
01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:48,960
Speaker 3: just they around Detroit Lions fans.

1538
01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:51,880
Speaker 9: You know. The whole essl al Blainte thing, which I think.

1539
01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:53,880
Speaker 3: Is stupid, is what is the seventy fourteen has to

1540
01:23:53,880 --> 01:23:56,280
Speaker 3: do in the twenty and twenty fourteen all that?

1541
01:23:56,400 --> 01:23:57,439
Speaker 2: Y right? I'm an agreement.

1542
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:00,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's just a cop out and save

1543
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:02,200
Speaker 3: the Fordes didn't want to win. They just wanted as

1544
01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:03,479
Speaker 3: a toy. That's stupid tude.

1545
01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:05,120
Speaker 9: It's for depth odors. They wanted to win it. I

1546
01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:07,160
Speaker 9: didn't know how to win until Sheila ford has took

1547
01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:10,040
Speaker 9: over a few years ago. But to explain to the.

1548
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:12,360
Speaker 3: People that are listening around the nations around the globe

1549
01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 3: right now that don't necessarily understand the plight of live stands,

1550
01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:18,519
Speaker 3: this is a team that has some of the hardiest

1551
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:19,960
Speaker 3: fans in any sport in the country.

1552
01:24:20,080 --> 01:24:22,160
Speaker 9: That's because they're over Detroit. This is the truth.

1553
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:23,720
Speaker 3: Because they have put up with a team that has

1554
01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:26,200
Speaker 3: one playoff win I was there when I was fourteen

1555
01:24:26,439 --> 01:24:30,280
Speaker 3: in January ninety two against the Cowboys see nineteen fifty seven.

1556
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:33,679
Speaker 3: Yet season tickets Serverinly are completely almost sold out.

1557
01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:34,680
Speaker 9: The Silvernome was.

1558
01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:38,200
Speaker 3: The largest arena in the stadium in the country, always

1559
01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:40,599
Speaker 3: sold out for the most part. And you look at

1560
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:43,719
Speaker 3: just what they've been through and to see this team

1561
01:24:44,080 --> 01:24:46,320
Speaker 3: after the Matt Patricia era, people hate what I even

1562
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 3: bring his name up to see where they have come.

1563
01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:52,160
Speaker 3: When Brad Sherlock Holmes and Dan Campbell took over Biiten

1564
01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:54,960
Speaker 3: Decaps and Denny's rat picks and trading Stafford.

1565
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:56,200
Speaker 9: I was on the air that night.

1566
01:24:56,160 --> 01:24:58,559
Speaker 3: And Stafford got trained with a big Stafford supporter, Bernie.

1567
01:24:58,600 --> 01:25:00,320
Speaker 3: But I'll tell you it was time to make move

1568
01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:03,000
Speaker 3: and obviously it's helped both teams as a Super Bowl

1569
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:05,720
Speaker 3: another one will have one in the next few years.

1570
01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:09,200
Speaker 3: To see this season, Bernie in person. At every Lion's game,

1571
01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:12,240
Speaker 3: the crowd at ford Field is always, even as bad years,

1572
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:15,280
Speaker 3: been full throat into it. Even with the Lions of

1573
01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:16,400
Speaker 3: stunk this.

1574
01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:18,680
Speaker 9: Year, whether it was the Seattle game, the Atlanta game,

1575
01:25:18,720 --> 01:25:19,439
Speaker 9: money and against the.

1576
01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:23,360
Speaker 3: Raiders, all these different situations throughout the year, it is

1577
01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:26,000
Speaker 3: been as loud, it's not louder than it's ever been.

1578
01:25:26,320 --> 01:25:29,320
Speaker 3: And it's almost like Lions fans know something is happening.

1579
01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:31,360
Speaker 3: Because the Lions fans, as you know, Bernie, have always

1580
01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:34,080
Speaker 3: traveled very well around the country to different stadiums. But

1581
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:36,600
Speaker 3: this year they're taking over stadiums, whether it was in

1582
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:40,160
Speaker 3: Tampa or New Orleans or Arrowhead or Green Bay for

1583
01:25:40,320 --> 01:25:43,120
Speaker 3: LAMBA on that Thursday night football game. There's just this.

1584
01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:45,960
Speaker 9: Ceiling that, yeah, the rise, that wond thing get they.

1585
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:48,400
Speaker 3: Wanted for a division of thirty years, but they're they're

1586
01:25:48,439 --> 01:25:51,880
Speaker 3: looking like a team that finally could be a long

1587
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:54,120
Speaker 3: term Bible contender. And I will tell you this, and

1588
01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:56,479
Speaker 3: of course I'll be there and what is the fourteen

1589
01:25:56,520 --> 01:25:58,400
Speaker 3: to sixteen hours from now, I'll be down there at

1590
01:25:58,439 --> 01:26:01,760
Speaker 3: you pretty early. It is going to be historic in

1591
01:26:01,840 --> 01:26:03,680
Speaker 3: many ways tonight because there's never been a playoff game

1592
01:26:03,680 --> 01:26:07,480
Speaker 3: in Fortfield. It's been incredible off season long, the electricity

1593
01:26:07,560 --> 01:26:11,280
Speaker 3: with their former franchise quarterback who I supported the whole

1594
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:14,120
Speaker 3: time of his year and would from the top by

1595
01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:16,639
Speaker 3: lunch say listen, it is not this guy's fault.

1596
01:26:16,720 --> 01:26:19,000
Speaker 9: He was safe. Absolutely did he get bench up in.

1597
01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:21,160
Speaker 3: The Arizona game when he was awful. Of course he did.

1598
01:26:21,400 --> 01:26:25,320
Speaker 3: But Matt Stafford did everything he could. Played Hurt would

1599
01:26:25,360 --> 01:26:26,920
Speaker 3: go there in January when it was stowing, when the

1600
01:26:26,960 --> 01:26:29,360
Speaker 3: Lions were eliminated, and you know, throw the balls to

1601
01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:32,439
Speaker 3: his receivers to do whatever he could. He comes back

1602
01:26:32,720 --> 01:26:35,439
Speaker 3: against the guy he was traded for, Jared Goff, who

1603
01:26:35,520 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 3: you know when he was traded and starting a Super Bowl,

1604
01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:39,640
Speaker 3: the youngest NFC quarterback to ever do it. It's like

1605
01:26:39,680 --> 01:26:40,840
Speaker 3: you can't dream up.

1606
01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:42,599
Speaker 9: This stuff if you're a Hollywood writer.

1607
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:45,599
Speaker 3: It is the building before the game starts, the roof

1608
01:26:45,760 --> 01:26:48,439
Speaker 3: will be off, even though it's negative. Ten Winshill here

1609
01:26:48,439 --> 01:26:51,240
Speaker 3: in Detroit, it's going to be something to behold. Bornie

1610
01:26:51,240 --> 01:26:53,559
Speaker 3: and boy, the Lions need to win this game, because

1611
01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:56,040
Speaker 3: they don't. It's just going to go for this incredible

1612
01:26:56,360 --> 01:26:59,160
Speaker 3: cavalcade of emotion to just here we go again.

1613
01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:03,080
Speaker 2: Dan Leach ninety seven one Detroit. We go back a

1614
01:27:03,080 --> 01:27:06,000
Speaker 2: long way, Dan, And of course we both, as Yogi

1615
01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 2: Bert would say, we have different similarities. I suffered through

1616
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:12,240
Speaker 2: ten years of Lions pre and posts. I've always said

1617
01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:14,639
Speaker 2: I saw it all. Barry's last year and Rod Marinell

1618
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:17,599
Speaker 2: he's only sixteen and everything in between. This has become

1619
01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:21,920
Speaker 2: Stafford versus MC versus Goff and I want to get

1620
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 2: away from that because I'd like to get your thoughts

1621
01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:28,599
Speaker 2: on some of the other aspects of this game. Neither

1622
01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:31,439
Speaker 2: team has a highly ranked defense, but as you correctly

1623
01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:33,639
Speaker 2: pointed out, Mike Sanders still would have a big game

1624
01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:39,040
Speaker 2: Monday night. My eye is on Aiden Hutchinson. He finished

1625
01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:43,439
Speaker 2: the season with five sacks forced fumbles. His win rate

1626
01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:47,920
Speaker 2: at the edge in his final two games was humongous.

1627
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:49,920
Speaker 2: And I also believe the Lions are gonna have great

1628
01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:53,080
Speaker 2: success running the ball with David Montgomery and Jamier Gimbs.

1629
01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:56,720
Speaker 2: But those are my thoughts. Break down some of the

1630
01:27:56,720 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 2: other angles of this game, above and beyond just Gola

1631
01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:01,360
Speaker 2: versus Stafford.

1632
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:05,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Ernie, we know that people, whether it's obviously

1633
01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:08,200
Speaker 3: Wise or Rams fans or just football fans in general,

1634
01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:10,679
Speaker 3: we know they're going to gravitate towards the Stafford versus Coffee.

1635
01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:12,639
Speaker 9: You go, I get it. I'm not gaming people.

1636
01:28:12,680 --> 01:28:15,200
Speaker 3: I know that people are the turney in Stafford jerseys

1637
01:28:15,200 --> 01:28:18,240
Speaker 3: for prizes all week here in Detroit. Yeah, I get

1638
01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:20,559
Speaker 3: all that stuff, but that is not just what this

1639
01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:23,400
Speaker 3: game is about is you can completely correctly pointed out.

1640
01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:25,840
Speaker 3: And another name, and I'm with you on Hutchinson because

1641
01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:29,120
Speaker 3: the Lions when they have had a legitimate pass rush,

1642
01:28:29,240 --> 01:28:32,280
Speaker 3: when they have got into opposing quarterbacks, especially at homes,

1643
01:28:32,320 --> 01:28:33,680
Speaker 3: and it was so much better at Ford Field, and

1644
01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:36,160
Speaker 3: they've been on the road except for obviously Kansas City

1645
01:28:36,160 --> 01:28:38,640
Speaker 3: and Green Bay, when they have done that, Bernie, it

1646
01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:41,479
Speaker 3: has been a completely different outcome and completely different feel

1647
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:44,240
Speaker 3: about what the offense is able to do based on

1648
01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:46,320
Speaker 3: what the defense has done to get that in a

1649
01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:49,000
Speaker 3: position to win these games. But another name I'm gonna

1650
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:51,000
Speaker 3: throw out there for you who is just turning back

1651
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:54,799
Speaker 3: and had blue hair several weeks ago, DJ Gardner Johnson.

1652
01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:56,719
Speaker 2: Blue hair is back, right.

1653
01:28:57,520 --> 01:29:00,560
Speaker 3: Yes, he is back, and for him to come back.

1654
01:29:00,439 --> 01:29:02,599
Speaker 9: When you look at Puka Nakula, when you look.

1655
01:29:02,439 --> 01:29:04,680
Speaker 3: At Cooper Cup, obviously the Rams can run the ball

1656
01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:07,439
Speaker 3: to as well at a high level with Kyron Williams.

1657
01:29:07,680 --> 01:29:08,960
Speaker 9: When do look at what c. J.

1658
01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:12,000
Speaker 3: Gardner Johnson could do coming back in that already at

1659
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:14,840
Speaker 3: times you know, definitely they can get fill at the

1660
01:29:14,880 --> 01:29:16,840
Speaker 3: secondary because they give him a lot of points. Lines

1661
01:29:16,880 --> 01:29:19,200
Speaker 3: you mentioned both teams, neither them have a great defense overall,

1662
01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:22,600
Speaker 3: but there are times with the live secondary, especially in

1663
01:29:22,600 --> 01:29:24,519
Speaker 3: that Green Bay game at lambeau Field, and as I

1664
01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:26,600
Speaker 3: mentioned obviously earlier in the year against Kansas City, we

1665
01:29:26,680 --> 01:29:29,120
Speaker 3: know Truvias Kelsey, but they have been able to really

1666
01:29:29,520 --> 01:29:32,240
Speaker 3: make put a hurt on opposing quarterbacks getting to their

1667
01:29:32,280 --> 01:29:34,800
Speaker 3: top targets. Had to bring him back in this game.

1668
01:29:34,880 --> 01:29:36,360
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's gonna be one hundred percent,

1669
01:29:36,560 --> 01:29:38,519
Speaker 3: but if he's close to that, that is going to

1670
01:29:38,600 --> 01:29:42,240
Speaker 3: be a major factor that we've seen earlier in the season,

1671
01:29:42,520 --> 01:29:44,200
Speaker 3: and that's what you're going to have to do. Separate

1672
01:29:44,240 --> 01:29:46,200
Speaker 3: Will get his yards, Burnie, he is going to get

1673
01:29:46,200 --> 01:29:48,120
Speaker 3: his balls to Pooka Nakula, He's going to get his

1674
01:29:48,120 --> 01:29:50,599
Speaker 3: bass to Cooper Cuppings some others. But it's about making

1675
01:29:50,680 --> 01:29:53,280
Speaker 3: the big plays on a third and five, on a

1676
01:29:53,320 --> 01:29:55,640
Speaker 3: third and seven when the Rams are up against it

1677
01:29:55,760 --> 01:29:57,559
Speaker 3: late in the game. That's where I think a guy

1678
01:29:57,600 --> 01:30:00,479
Speaker 3: like CJ. Gard Johnson once like I Sai with Santa

1679
01:30:00,520 --> 01:30:03,240
Speaker 3: s thron Will Johnson last week for Michigan earlier the

1680
01:30:03,240 --> 01:30:06,200
Speaker 3: week gets with Washington with Michigan, could have a massive

1681
01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:09,479
Speaker 3: impact and have a game changing impact defensively and giving

1682
01:30:09,520 --> 01:30:11,400
Speaker 3: the Lions offense, which will get its points as well,

1683
01:30:11,520 --> 01:30:12,439
Speaker 3: a chance to put.

1684
01:30:12,240 --> 01:30:12,760
Speaker 9: A game away.

1685
01:30:13,240 --> 01:30:15,080
Speaker 2: All right, a couple of minutes before we get your

1686
01:30:15,120 --> 01:30:18,360
Speaker 2: score prediction, here two other aspects of this game. I'll

1687
01:30:18,400 --> 01:30:21,200
Speaker 2: be watching the Lions win for it on fourth down

1688
01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:23,519
Speaker 2: thirty four percent of the time this season, the highest

1689
01:30:23,520 --> 01:30:27,479
Speaker 2: of any team this entire century twenty five years. The

1690
01:30:27,560 --> 01:30:31,120
Speaker 2: Rams didn't do it a lot, but their kicking game

1691
01:30:31,200 --> 01:30:34,439
Speaker 2: is terrible. They've missed it combine sixteen field goals and

1692
01:30:34,479 --> 01:30:36,639
Speaker 2: extra points. That's the most by any team in twenty

1693
01:30:36,680 --> 01:30:40,040
Speaker 2: four years. You think either of those factors come into play?

1694
01:30:40,160 --> 01:30:43,960
Speaker 2: And are the Lions fans going to barbecue Dan Campbell

1695
01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:45,400
Speaker 2: if he goes for it on fourth down a couple

1696
01:30:45,479 --> 01:30:46,439
Speaker 2: times and doesn't make it?

1697
01:30:47,040 --> 01:30:48,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, get rid of your kicker.

1698
01:30:48,240 --> 01:30:50,280
Speaker 3: Of this late in the year is definitely a worrisome thing.

1699
01:30:50,320 --> 01:30:51,439
Speaker 3: Off your rant, so Berdie.

1700
01:30:51,439 --> 01:30:52,000
Speaker 8: We talked about this.

1701
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:52,880
Speaker 9: After the Cowboys game.

1702
01:30:53,439 --> 01:30:55,280
Speaker 3: You have to look at what Dan Campbell has done

1703
01:30:55,400 --> 01:30:58,680
Speaker 3: and the aggressiveness and the you know, gambling feeling of

1704
01:30:58,760 --> 01:31:01,640
Speaker 3: Dan Campbell and the fact that listen, you know it

1705
01:31:01,680 --> 01:31:03,559
Speaker 3: did work out in the Cowboys game. We need to

1706
01:31:03,560 --> 01:31:06,000
Speaker 3: debate the second and third going for two till the

1707
01:31:06,040 --> 01:31:06,840
Speaker 3: Cows come home.

1708
01:31:07,080 --> 01:31:09,400
Speaker 9: But Dan Campbell and his team and his team and

1709
01:31:09,439 --> 01:31:12,000
Speaker 9: body is Dan Campbell. As we know, they play to

1710
01:31:12,120 --> 01:31:14,280
Speaker 9: win the game, not to not you know, they don't

1711
01:31:14,280 --> 01:31:16,479
Speaker 9: play to not lose the game. And that will be

1712
01:31:16,520 --> 01:31:17,680
Speaker 9: rewarded if they keep doing that.

1713
01:31:17,720 --> 01:31:19,840
Speaker 3: Now, Lisson, you can't do it every time. You can't

1714
01:31:19,840 --> 01:31:21,639
Speaker 3: go for it on fourth and five in round thirty

1715
01:31:21,760 --> 01:31:25,040
Speaker 3: on the first drive. But Dan Campbell believes that whenever

1716
01:31:25,080 --> 01:31:26,360
Speaker 3: he goes for it, they're going to get it.

1717
01:31:26,479 --> 01:31:27,200
Speaker 9: And he believes that.

1718
01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:28,920
Speaker 3: He analytics and he believes in he's giving his team

1719
01:31:28,920 --> 01:31:31,240
Speaker 3: the best chance to you know, obviously get first downs

1720
01:31:31,280 --> 01:31:33,400
Speaker 3: and get touchdowns and do all that kind of stuff.

1721
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:34,920
Speaker 9: So you got to take both sides with it.

1722
01:31:35,280 --> 01:31:37,880
Speaker 3: And to me, that is the kind of feeling you

1723
01:31:37,920 --> 01:31:39,320
Speaker 3: want to have, and they kind of aggress this you

1724
01:31:39,320 --> 01:31:41,320
Speaker 3: want to have against the former quarterback coming back a

1725
01:31:41,400 --> 01:31:43,439
Speaker 3: Rams team. It's played pretty well, beaten some good teams.

1726
01:31:43,439 --> 01:31:45,200
Speaker 3: Obviously they don't get the Ravens late in the year.

1727
01:31:45,439 --> 01:31:48,640
Speaker 3: To me, I think that gambling ability and how the

1728
01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:52,000
Speaker 3: team obviously embodies at will really help the lines immensely

1729
01:31:52,040 --> 01:31:53,720
Speaker 3: in a game at home, and a playoff game at

1730
01:31:53,720 --> 01:31:55,719
Speaker 3: home against a team like the Rams. And that's why

1731
01:31:55,920 --> 01:31:57,720
Speaker 3: I'm not scared of it. But Dan Campbell has got

1732
01:31:57,760 --> 01:32:00,519
Speaker 3: to be a little more tight as the best they is.

1733
01:32:00,560 --> 01:32:02,599
Speaker 9: Wally did easy then throughout most of the season.

1734
01:32:03,439 --> 01:32:06,240
Speaker 2: Fair enough, I will say this thill you know. They're

1735
01:32:06,320 --> 01:32:09,200
Speaker 2: nineteen and seven in their last twenty six games. He's

1736
01:32:09,280 --> 01:32:11,439
Speaker 2: changed the culture. They're no longer we're gonna play not

1737
01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:13,240
Speaker 2: to lose. And I know sometimes you have to hold

1738
01:32:13,240 --> 01:32:15,600
Speaker 2: your nose, but man, I love what he's done and

1739
01:32:15,640 --> 01:32:17,200
Speaker 2: they believe in him. They run through a wall with

1740
01:32:17,240 --> 01:32:20,439
Speaker 2: this guy. Final question, Dan, give us your score prediction.

1741
01:32:20,479 --> 01:32:20,639
Speaker 9: Now.

1742
01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:22,559
Speaker 2: Last week he had Michigan thirty four to twenty four.

1743
01:32:22,600 --> 01:32:25,320
Speaker 2: They won thirty four to thirteen a couple of drop

1744
01:32:25,360 --> 01:32:28,719
Speaker 2: touchdown passes, or might have been thirty four to twenty four. Uh,

1745
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:32,280
Speaker 2: your score prediction, Dan, Lions ran Sunday night.

1746
01:32:33,200 --> 01:32:33,800
Speaker 9: What are you saying?

1747
01:32:33,840 --> 01:32:37,960
Speaker 3: I'm a prophet, Dimes. I'm telling yeah, profit you, my friend.

1748
01:32:38,320 --> 01:32:39,280
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a hell.

1749
01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:41,120
Speaker 9: Of a game. The roof will blow off a Ford field.

1750
01:32:41,120 --> 01:32:42,960
Speaker 3: But I think it's gonna be too much Jared Goff,

1751
01:32:42,960 --> 01:32:45,240
Speaker 3: too much Gibbs, too much of Mon ros State broad

1752
01:32:45,280 --> 01:32:47,200
Speaker 3: and maybe that big play by a CJ.

1753
01:32:47,360 --> 01:32:49,160
Speaker 9: Garner Johnson's type Player.

1754
01:32:49,240 --> 01:32:52,799
Speaker 3: Thirty one twenty four Lions, and as you mentioned Hutchinson,

1755
01:32:53,040 --> 01:32:54,920
Speaker 3: he's gonna have a sack or two. And I think

1756
01:32:54,920 --> 01:32:57,920
Speaker 3: that the Lions advanced against their former quarterback, and that

1757
01:32:57,920 --> 01:33:01,280
Speaker 3: that stupid turn, which doesn't matter anyway. BERTI asked, well, Dad, forever,

1758
01:33:01,400 --> 01:33:03,800
Speaker 3: long lived binl the brand new Lion.

1759
01:33:04,160 --> 01:33:07,760
Speaker 2: We're not that far off. I've got Lions twenty seven

1760
01:33:07,760 --> 01:33:10,040
Speaker 2: to twenty four. I think we're I've both.

1761
01:33:09,920 --> 01:33:11,800
Speaker 9: Told you you're a genius, so obviously he can't do

1762
01:33:11,880 --> 01:33:12,479
Speaker 9: that far off.

1763
01:33:12,960 --> 01:33:15,120
Speaker 2: You can be by age of Dan. Hey, Dan, great

1764
01:33:15,120 --> 01:33:18,880
Speaker 2: stuff these last few weeks. You bring it like nobody's business.

1765
01:33:18,920 --> 01:33:20,679
Speaker 2: And of course I knew you would, Dan, So listen,

1766
01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:22,880
Speaker 2: get some rest, my friend. I'll points you out in

1767
01:33:22,920 --> 01:33:24,960
Speaker 2: the crowd Sunday night. I know you'll be there.

1768
01:33:25,520 --> 01:33:27,920
Speaker 9: Yes, the honor of pleasure is always by Bertie. Take

1769
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:28,360
Speaker 9: so much.

1770
01:33:28,560 --> 01:33:30,960
Speaker 2: We'll do this again, Dan, appreciate you, buddy. Take care.

1771
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:34,120
Speaker 2: That is Dan Leach ninety seven one, Detroit. Among his

1772
01:33:34,200 --> 01:33:38,479
Speaker 2: many duties, he correctly had Michigan beaten beaten Georgia, and

1773
01:33:38,520 --> 01:33:40,920
Speaker 2: he had Michigan beat in Alabama and he has the

1774
01:33:40,960 --> 01:33:43,519
Speaker 2: Lions winning, and uh, you know, you could call him

1775
01:33:43,520 --> 01:33:44,680
Speaker 2: a homer. I'm not going to call him that. I

1776
01:33:45,080 --> 01:33:46,680
Speaker 2: really think he means. I really think he means, and

1777
01:33:46,720 --> 01:33:49,920
Speaker 2: I just feel the Lions are They're finally built for

1778
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:52,080
Speaker 2: this moment at the bottom of the hour of finally

1779
01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:55,760
Speaker 2: going to get into the four games remaining and get

1780
01:33:55,800 --> 01:33:58,879
Speaker 2: into what I consider to be the storylines, the matchup,

1781
01:33:59,160 --> 01:34:02,559
Speaker 2: X factors, my predictions, what to watch for, and we'll

1782
01:34:02,560 --> 01:34:05,160
Speaker 2: see how we do. Last night you heard, I mean,

1783
01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:07,599
Speaker 2: there wasn't much mystery. I believe the Chiefs were gonna win,

1784
01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:11,240
Speaker 2: but I really felt the Texans would prevail. I didn't

1785
01:34:11,240 --> 01:34:14,200
Speaker 2: think they would dominate the way they did, but they did.

1786
01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:16,599
Speaker 2: But before we get to the bottom of the hour

1787
01:34:16,640 --> 01:34:19,880
Speaker 2: and I dive into the wild card preview for the

1788
01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:22,880
Speaker 2: doubleheaders Sunday and Monday, I want to have a quick,

1789
01:34:23,040 --> 01:34:26,439
Speaker 2: final last look at some final thoughts now that the

1790
01:34:26,680 --> 01:34:30,479
Speaker 2: regular season is over in the NFL. I have some

1791
01:34:30,600 --> 01:34:33,919
Speaker 2: thoughts on the Packers, I have some thoughts on Demico

1792
01:34:34,040 --> 01:34:36,920
Speaker 2: Ryans and the future of the Houston Texans, and well,

1793
01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:39,960
Speaker 2: I got some thoughts on the Jacksonville Jaguars, it's too

1794
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:43,120
Speaker 2: It's funny what happens when you actually actually have to

1795
01:34:43,160 --> 01:34:47,800
Speaker 2: play the games. They always talk about things on paper. Well,

1796
01:34:47,840 --> 01:34:49,840
Speaker 2: the games are not played on paper. They're played on

1797
01:34:49,840 --> 01:34:53,200
Speaker 2: the field by human beings. So I'll give you what

1798
01:34:53,240 --> 01:34:55,760
Speaker 2: my thoughts are now that we have the retrospective of

1799
01:34:56,160 --> 01:34:58,960
Speaker 2: looking back. I'm Bernie Froddle. We are company line from

1800
01:34:58,960 --> 01:35:01,479
Speaker 2: the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio tirect dot com studios.

1801
01:35:01,520 --> 01:35:03,760
Speaker 2: Give it lock. You're listening to the Bernie Fraddle Show,

1802
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:07,519
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. Now we're back at the Bernie Fraddle Show,

1803
01:35:07,560 --> 01:35:11,320
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. Come to live from the tyrerac dot

1804
01:35:11,320 --> 01:35:14,080
Speaker 2: com studios here in Las Vegas. Top of the hour,

1805
01:35:14,160 --> 01:35:16,840
Speaker 2: the dance Sensation sweep the nation? What kind of brand

1806
01:35:16,880 --> 01:35:19,040
Speaker 2: new fool of you? Followed by what my name? And

1807
01:35:19,080 --> 01:35:22,000
Speaker 2: of course, after Kevin's update, I'm going to dive into

1808
01:35:22,040 --> 01:35:28,400
Speaker 2: the handicap analysis, thoughts, matchups, observations, things to look for

1809
01:35:28,400 --> 01:35:30,400
Speaker 2: for the remaining for wild card games. I'm going to

1810
01:35:30,439 --> 01:35:31,880
Speaker 2: call an audible. Later in the show, I'm going to

1811
01:35:31,920 --> 01:35:34,920
Speaker 2: get to my thoughts on the Packers and the Jaguars

1812
01:35:34,920 --> 01:35:38,080
Speaker 2: and Demico Ryans, and now that the season's over, I

1813
01:35:38,080 --> 01:35:40,759
Speaker 2: want to call an audible because earlier I was talking

1814
01:35:40,840 --> 01:35:44,120
Speaker 2: about the incredibly astronomical ratings that the NFL has on

1815
01:35:44,240 --> 01:35:49,080
Speaker 2: every platform, and of course, you know they've built a

1816
01:35:49,120 --> 01:35:52,000
Speaker 2: machine that can only go forward. But they did something

1817
01:35:52,040 --> 01:35:54,559
Speaker 2: Saturday night that actually has been called into question by

1818
01:35:54,600 --> 01:35:58,799
Speaker 2: some people. Some people threw a flag, some people were upset.

1819
01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:01,200
Speaker 2: Some people said, what the hell, I'll spend the five

1820
01:36:01,320 --> 01:36:03,360
Speaker 2: ninety nine so I can watch the Chiefs. What else

1821
01:36:03,360 --> 01:36:05,639
Speaker 2: am I going to do on Saturday night? And people

1822
01:36:05,640 --> 01:36:07,640
Speaker 2: may or may not know that in other countries, the

1823
01:36:07,680 --> 01:36:11,960
Speaker 2: way that they have distributed and marketed the NFL ticket,

1824
01:36:12,439 --> 01:36:14,880
Speaker 2: you can buy certain games, you can buy individual games,

1825
01:36:14,880 --> 01:36:16,720
Speaker 2: you can buy individual teams. You don't have to buy

1826
01:36:16,760 --> 01:36:20,960
Speaker 2: the whole package. So I want to dive right into

1827
01:36:20,960 --> 01:36:26,320
Speaker 2: this Peacock only game which took place Saturday night between

1828
01:36:26,360 --> 01:36:30,680
Speaker 2: the Chiefs and the and the Dolphins. And if you

1829
01:36:30,800 --> 01:36:32,400
Speaker 2: wanted to watch the game, you either had to be

1830
01:36:32,400 --> 01:36:34,880
Speaker 2: a subscriber for Peacock or you had to pick it

1831
01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:37,960
Speaker 2: up on Saturday. Kevin figures, let's start with you fair

1832
01:36:38,120 --> 01:36:41,680
Speaker 2: or foul? Is the NFL taking it too far? An hour?

1833
01:36:41,800 --> 01:36:43,200
Speaker 2: Is it's just the way the world. We have to

1834
01:36:43,240 --> 01:36:43,760
Speaker 2: suck it up.

1835
01:36:44,160 --> 01:36:45,559
Speaker 1: Well, I think it could be two things.

1836
01:36:45,560 --> 01:36:47,439
Speaker 7: I think it's a little foul that you'd have a

1837
01:36:47,439 --> 01:36:50,519
Speaker 7: playoff game that is only available essentially via a pay

1838
01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:53,600
Speaker 7: per view situation, but it's fair and that this is

1839
01:36:53,680 --> 01:36:54,880
Speaker 7: kind of where the world is going.

1840
01:36:54,920 --> 01:36:57,000
Speaker 1: To your point, everything is moving towards streaming.

1841
01:36:57,000 --> 01:36:58,640
Speaker 7: Everybody's trying to get their piece of the pie in

1842
01:36:58,680 --> 01:37:01,759
Speaker 7: the NFL, like any other business is trying to get pennies.

1843
01:37:01,760 --> 01:37:03,120
Speaker 1: I mean, the Major League Baseball did this.

1844
01:37:03,160 --> 01:37:05,320
Speaker 7: They had a Peacock exclusive game on Sunday mornings the

1845
01:37:05,360 --> 01:37:07,840
Speaker 7: last couple of last couple of seasons. Uh, you know,

1846
01:37:07,880 --> 01:37:10,960
Speaker 7: the NBA is talking about expanding into streaming only options

1847
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:13,880
Speaker 7: in certain situations. This is just you know, the cost

1848
01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:15,559
Speaker 7: of doing business. They know that there's a way for

1849
01:37:15,600 --> 01:37:18,719
Speaker 7: them to get extra revenue streams, and as any business

1850
01:37:18,760 --> 01:37:21,320
Speaker 7: does in a capitalistic sonxciety, that's what they're gonna do.

1851
01:37:21,360 --> 01:37:23,559
Speaker 7: And for as much as we complain about it, Bernie,

1852
01:37:23,800 --> 01:37:25,599
Speaker 7: I know there are a lot of people who you know,

1853
01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:28,479
Speaker 7: grumbled and groaned about it, but they still you know,

1854
01:37:28,560 --> 01:37:30,559
Speaker 7: signed up and put their credit card information in and

1855
01:37:30,600 --> 01:37:32,640
Speaker 7: signed up for Peacock. So I mean, we can go

1856
01:37:32,720 --> 01:37:34,160
Speaker 7: plan all we want, but if we want it bad

1857
01:37:34,280 --> 01:37:36,240
Speaker 7: enough and there's enough of a clamoring forward, which we

1858
01:37:36,280 --> 01:37:38,759
Speaker 7: know there is, people are going to ultimately relent.

1859
01:37:39,479 --> 01:37:42,200
Speaker 2: That's a fair pragmatic response of It's basically a cup

1860
01:37:42,200 --> 01:37:44,880
Speaker 2: of coffee. It's Starbucks. This is where this, this is

1861
01:37:44,880 --> 01:37:47,120
Speaker 2: where we are. I think where people got a little

1862
01:37:48,080 --> 01:37:51,080
Speaker 2: where their nose gout out of joint is. I felt

1863
01:37:51,120 --> 01:37:53,360
Speaker 2: maybe they're being hell hostage because it's a Saturday night

1864
01:37:53,360 --> 01:37:58,519
Speaker 2: primetime game involving a very public team, the Kansas City Chiefs. Shaye,

1865
01:37:58,520 --> 01:37:59,439
Speaker 2: what are your thoughts on this?

1866
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:04,160
Speaker 10: So, yeah, we had this discussion this morning on the

1867
01:38:04,160 --> 01:38:06,800
Speaker 10: Fellas as well, and I was honestly getting roasted for

1868
01:38:06,840 --> 01:38:08,559
Speaker 10: it because I didn't see the big deal with it.

1869
01:38:08,600 --> 01:38:08,920
Speaker 5: I didn't.

1870
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:11,599
Speaker 10: I didn't think it was too big of an issue

1871
01:38:11,840 --> 01:38:15,640
Speaker 10: just because I mean, hey, like this entire season with

1872
01:38:15,720 --> 01:38:19,000
Speaker 10: YouTube TV, with all these new things coming out, it

1873
01:38:19,040 --> 01:38:21,960
Speaker 10: seems like they're just going to keep trying it. And

1874
01:38:22,120 --> 01:38:23,519
Speaker 10: I mean, I don't know, I feel like I've just

1875
01:38:23,640 --> 01:38:25,880
Speaker 10: kind of numbed to the to the fact that they're

1876
01:38:25,920 --> 01:38:29,040
Speaker 10: just going to keep doing new things. And I mean

1877
01:38:29,080 --> 01:38:32,240
Speaker 10: it doesn't really affect me either, because I view it

1878
01:38:32,400 --> 01:38:34,759
Speaker 10: my own ways, like I view football my own ways.

1879
01:38:35,240 --> 01:38:38,680
Speaker 10: So it's like if if like, I don't think it

1880
01:38:38,720 --> 01:38:41,040
Speaker 10: affects my generation, is what I'm trying to say, Like,

1881
01:38:41,080 --> 01:38:44,160
Speaker 10: I think it affects probably your guys' generation a little

1882
01:38:44,200 --> 01:38:47,320
Speaker 10: bit more. But with the way we view like I

1883
01:38:47,360 --> 01:38:49,000
Speaker 10: know a lot of my friends, with the way we

1884
01:38:49,160 --> 01:38:52,200
Speaker 10: view football like, it wasn't an issue at all, and

1885
01:38:52,240 --> 01:38:54,120
Speaker 10: it wasn't a discussion that we had at all.

1886
01:38:55,560 --> 01:38:57,360
Speaker 2: I'm in agreement with you. It doesn't affect me in

1887
01:38:57,400 --> 01:38:59,559
Speaker 2: the least. I just I think it's a no big

1888
01:38:59,600 --> 01:39:00,320
Speaker 2: deal at all.

1889
01:39:00,520 --> 01:39:01,080
Speaker 11: Exactly.

1890
01:39:01,360 --> 01:39:06,760
Speaker 2: This is a product that people clamor for. Listen. I

1891
01:39:06,920 --> 01:39:09,680
Speaker 2: have paid, I've had folks to the house. I'll pay

1892
01:39:09,720 --> 01:39:12,000
Speaker 2: for an eighty nine dollars boxing match. I don't charge

1893
01:39:12,040 --> 01:39:15,000
Speaker 2: people money. Come on, because you know we can. This

1894
01:39:15,040 --> 01:39:18,519
Speaker 2: is America. Find your opportunities. You can make money if

1895
01:39:18,520 --> 01:39:22,640
Speaker 2: you want too bad enough five bucks. I am more responding,

1896
01:39:22,760 --> 01:39:25,400
Speaker 2: or maybe perhaps reacting to once again the group think

1897
01:39:25,479 --> 01:39:30,960
Speaker 2: echo chamber of people who take this as a personal affront. Again,

1898
01:39:31,040 --> 01:39:34,920
Speaker 2: this is a product America has proven it can't live without.

1899
01:39:34,960 --> 01:39:38,080
Speaker 2: So shave mark me. Donald is a guy who thought

1900
01:39:38,080 --> 01:39:40,920
Speaker 2: it was no big deal. To the people who are

1901
01:39:40,920 --> 01:39:42,920
Speaker 2: pushing back. What if I may ask, what was the

1902
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:46,200
Speaker 2: rationale as to why you would be roasted for what

1903
01:39:46,320 --> 01:39:47,960
Speaker 2: I think is the correct opinion.

1904
01:39:49,200 --> 01:39:51,640
Speaker 10: Well, I mean a cafig could come into this. But

1905
01:39:52,080 --> 01:39:54,840
Speaker 10: they were saying it was a violation almost. It was

1906
01:39:54,880 --> 01:39:56,840
Speaker 10: as if it was a well, we have this thing

1907
01:39:56,880 --> 01:39:59,759
Speaker 10: called violations on the fellas and it's it's basically something

1908
01:39:59,800 --> 01:40:03,200
Speaker 10: that is not good, something that is a disagreed like

1909
01:40:03,240 --> 01:40:05,720
Speaker 10: something that we all disagree on kind of is just

1910
01:40:05,720 --> 01:40:07,320
Speaker 10: something that it's it's it's no boying.

1911
01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:07,439
Speaker 2: No.

1912
01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:10,760
Speaker 7: Well, we also weren't arguing against you know, Shae for

1913
01:40:11,320 --> 01:40:13,920
Speaker 7: the peacock and whether or not you're paying for it. It

1914
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:16,800
Speaker 7: was the casualness of which he didn't know where the

1915
01:40:16,840 --> 01:40:19,400
Speaker 7: Cleveland Browns, who was favorite team is, where they were playing,

1916
01:40:19,400 --> 01:40:22,400
Speaker 7: what time they were playing, what channel the team was on.

1917
01:40:22,880 --> 01:40:24,000
Speaker 7: You know, the fact that he had more of a

1918
01:40:24,080 --> 01:40:26,400
Speaker 7: laid back personality for a team that he's supposed to

1919
01:40:26,439 --> 01:40:28,200
Speaker 7: be passionate about. It had less to do with the

1920
01:40:28,240 --> 01:40:29,719
Speaker 7: peacock in any of that shit.

1921
01:40:29,800 --> 01:40:32,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, but Anthony was going in on me for the

1922
01:40:32,400 --> 01:40:35,360
Speaker 10: for the peacock part because he was like he he

1923
01:40:35,560 --> 01:40:37,160
Speaker 10: thought it was it was a violation.

1924
01:40:37,320 --> 01:40:39,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, he kind of thought that they're they're kind of

1925
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:41,880
Speaker 7: taking advantage of the consumer. And to a certain degree, again,

1926
01:40:41,920 --> 01:40:44,880
Speaker 7: I certainly understand that notion, but to your point, it's

1927
01:40:44,880 --> 01:40:47,400
Speaker 7: what four ninety nine, And by the way, you can cancel.

1928
01:40:47,640 --> 01:40:49,680
Speaker 7: I don't know exactly what the situation is because I

1929
01:40:49,720 --> 01:40:51,320
Speaker 7: have personally, I've had Peacock.

1930
01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:51,920
Speaker 1: For the last couple of years.

1931
01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:52,360
Speaker 2: Bernie.

1932
01:40:52,680 --> 01:40:55,280
Speaker 7: Usually they can allow you a seven you know, seven

1933
01:40:55,360 --> 01:40:57,280
Speaker 7: day or two week free trial or something that you

1934
01:40:57,280 --> 01:40:59,519
Speaker 7: can sign up for. What they're banking on is that

1935
01:40:59,520 --> 01:41:02,479
Speaker 7: people say up and simply forget to cancel, and they

1936
01:41:02,560 --> 01:41:04,800
Speaker 7: end up charging people. But if you're savvy enough, you

1937
01:41:04,920 --> 01:41:06,760
Speaker 7: sign up, you get the wild card game, and you

1938
01:41:06,840 --> 01:41:08,920
Speaker 7: cancel it and it doesn't really cost you much. And

1939
01:41:08,960 --> 01:41:11,759
Speaker 7: if it does cost you something, it's six dollars this month.

1940
01:41:12,040 --> 01:41:14,559
Speaker 7: Most of us weigh six dollars on a lot less than,

1941
01:41:14,880 --> 01:41:16,360
Speaker 7: you know, than three hours of entertainment.

1942
01:41:17,600 --> 01:41:17,840
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1943
01:41:17,880 --> 01:41:20,920
Speaker 2: I respect all opinions, and I like Anthony Gargano a lot,

1944
01:41:21,040 --> 01:41:23,600
Speaker 2: and I would say that, you know, we all have.

1945
01:41:24,400 --> 01:41:26,960
Speaker 2: I like when there's a discussion, and as I said

1946
01:41:27,080 --> 01:41:31,720
Speaker 2: last night, when when everybody just agrees and only one

1947
01:41:31,760 --> 01:41:34,840
Speaker 2: head might be doing and thinking. I try to have

1948
01:41:34,880 --> 01:41:39,320
Speaker 2: a pragmatic view on most things. And since we are

1949
01:41:39,360 --> 01:41:43,680
Speaker 2: observing that the NFL is experiencing an incredible heyday and

1950
01:41:43,760 --> 01:41:45,600
Speaker 2: for five bucks you could watch the game, which you

1951
01:41:45,600 --> 01:41:48,040
Speaker 2: didn't have to do that before. But now again, it's

1952
01:41:48,120 --> 01:41:49,960
Speaker 2: kind of the way of the world. It's where we're

1953
01:41:50,040 --> 01:41:55,880
Speaker 2: going in different modalities in how we consume not just sports,

1954
01:41:55,880 --> 01:42:01,080
Speaker 2: but entertainment. And I you know, if if you feel

1955
01:42:01,080 --> 01:42:03,120
Speaker 2: you're getting your return on your investment, you do it,

1956
01:42:03,120 --> 01:42:07,519
Speaker 2: and if you don't, you don't. And sometimes people might

1957
01:42:07,680 --> 01:42:10,360
Speaker 2: feel a little uncomfortable, but every time you turn around,

1958
01:42:10,400 --> 01:42:12,840
Speaker 2: someone's trying to get in my pocket. I can understand that.

1959
01:42:12,960 --> 01:42:16,200
Speaker 2: For me, I've figured out a long time ago in life,

1960
01:42:16,479 --> 01:42:20,479
Speaker 2: I can't die on every hill, and we can. People

1961
01:42:20,479 --> 01:42:23,760
Speaker 2: can perhaps be a little insulted that they would do

1962
01:42:23,800 --> 01:42:25,759
Speaker 2: this in a playoff game on Saturday night, But again

1963
01:42:26,120 --> 01:42:29,799
Speaker 2: I know, I keep repeating myself. We evolve and change

1964
01:42:29,840 --> 01:42:31,680
Speaker 2: in our society. We used to fight wars with a

1965
01:42:31,720 --> 01:42:34,439
Speaker 2: single shot rifle. And the way we consume entertainment, particularly

1966
01:42:34,520 --> 01:42:37,559
Speaker 2: the NFL, which is king well. It surprised me if

1967
01:42:37,600 --> 01:42:40,160
Speaker 2: someday they charge you to watch the Super Bowl if

1968
01:42:40,160 --> 01:42:42,240
Speaker 2: you don't want to watch it, don't watch it. But

1969
01:42:42,400 --> 01:42:45,720
Speaker 2: we're all listen, we're all going along for the ride. Mark,

1970
01:42:45,760 --> 01:42:47,360
Speaker 2: did you have any thoughts on this, Mark Ramsey?

1971
01:42:48,640 --> 01:42:51,720
Speaker 12: I don't know how this works out, but I can

1972
01:42:51,800 --> 01:42:57,440
Speaker 12: recall many moons ago when Sugar Ray Leonard and I forgot.

1973
01:42:57,120 --> 01:42:59,440
Speaker 2: The Marvin Hagler Tommy Hearns.

1974
01:42:59,240 --> 01:43:03,559
Speaker 12: And that was ay perview fight. So everybody who had

1975
01:43:03,600 --> 01:43:06,519
Speaker 12: a house or whatever, a bunch of people, you know,

1976
01:43:06,680 --> 01:43:10,040
Speaker 12: obviously bought that fight because it was an exclusive thing.

1977
01:43:11,200 --> 01:43:16,759
Speaker 12: So nowadays, you know, there's a group who can afford

1978
01:43:16,800 --> 01:43:20,800
Speaker 12: it and they like streaming and they don't mind. There's

1979
01:43:20,840 --> 01:43:24,080
Speaker 12: also a section of people that don't have an extra

1980
01:43:24,160 --> 01:43:29,320
Speaker 12: six bucks currently because they don't have the money. So football,

1981
01:43:29,640 --> 01:43:34,200
Speaker 12: and you know, commerce is you know, doing what commerce does.

1982
01:43:34,479 --> 01:43:37,519
Speaker 12: If you want it, you can buy it, and it's

1983
01:43:37,560 --> 01:43:39,960
Speaker 12: one of those things that either you can or you can't,

1984
01:43:40,360 --> 01:43:42,240
Speaker 12: and they're just going to count on those who can

1985
01:43:42,320 --> 01:43:46,280
Speaker 12: spend the money and get it. Much like another idea

1986
01:43:46,760 --> 01:43:51,639
Speaker 12: that certain football teams, you know, give up a home

1987
01:43:51,720 --> 01:43:55,559
Speaker 12: game and those teams go overseas and the home crowd

1988
01:43:56,120 --> 01:44:01,200
Speaker 12: loses a hometown ticket. So it's it's what it's turning

1989
01:44:01,200 --> 01:44:03,600
Speaker 12: into sections if people are you know, it's going to

1990
01:44:03,640 --> 01:44:05,760
Speaker 12: be sectioned off of who wants to spend money a

1991
01:44:05,760 --> 01:44:07,920
Speaker 12: certain kind of way, and who doesn't want to spend money,

1992
01:44:08,160 --> 01:44:12,040
Speaker 12: and who's upset that they made this game exclusive, Like

1993
01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:14,040
Speaker 12: we could all sit down and watch a game together,

1994
01:44:14,080 --> 01:44:16,439
Speaker 12: but now they made it exclusive. Now you've got to

1995
01:44:16,439 --> 01:44:19,800
Speaker 12: be a part of this club to enjoy what was

1996
01:44:19,880 --> 01:44:21,240
Speaker 12: a free football game.

1997
01:44:21,920 --> 01:44:25,360
Speaker 2: Well said, And I think that started when cable TV

1998
01:44:25,560 --> 01:44:29,439
Speaker 2: was truly born around nineteen eighty one and you had

1999
01:44:29,479 --> 01:44:31,599
Speaker 2: to pay to watch TV, and I remember people losing

2000
01:44:31,600 --> 01:44:34,200
Speaker 2: their minds and it's funny. Just final thoughts before we

2001
01:44:34,200 --> 01:44:36,800
Speaker 2: get to Kevin's update. Driving down the road the other

2002
01:44:36,880 --> 01:44:38,439
Speaker 2: day listening to a radio show, and I heard this

2003
01:44:38,479 --> 01:44:41,519
Speaker 2: guy say, I'm so angry I haven't paid for cable

2004
01:44:41,520 --> 01:44:44,519
Speaker 2: TV and blah blah blah. Years. Okay, buddy, you'll show them,

2005
01:44:44,600 --> 01:44:47,639
Speaker 2: he says. But what's interesting is I'm a huge Chiefs fan,

2006
01:44:48,680 --> 01:44:50,479
Speaker 2: so I ain't pay one hundred and sixty bucks for

2007
01:44:50,560 --> 01:44:53,280
Speaker 2: cable TV, but I'll pay five bucks so I could

2008
01:44:53,320 --> 01:44:56,519
Speaker 2: watch my chief Saturday night. I thought that interesting angle.

2009
01:44:56,600 --> 01:44:59,040
Speaker 2: So what I think the NFL does is they threw

2010
01:44:59,040 --> 01:45:03,560
Speaker 2: out these trial bloons, and so might this be foreshadowing

2011
01:45:03,600 --> 01:45:07,360
Speaker 2: for things in the future or select games for instance,

2012
01:45:07,360 --> 01:45:10,120
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, Guys, you know you could

2013
01:45:10,120 --> 01:45:12,280
Speaker 2: not watch a Thursday night game if you have Amazon.

2014
01:45:13,560 --> 01:45:16,800
Speaker 2: And now Amazon's ratings are up twenty four percent this year.

2015
01:45:16,840 --> 01:45:18,920
Speaker 2: So maybe there were some early adopters, maybe there were

2016
01:45:18,960 --> 01:45:21,639
Speaker 2: some late bloomers, but people are coming on board because

2017
01:45:21,640 --> 01:45:23,840
Speaker 2: they don't want to miss that Thursday game. But it

2018
01:45:23,920 --> 01:45:27,120
Speaker 2: makes for an interesting conversation all the way around, because

2019
01:45:27,120 --> 01:45:30,280
Speaker 2: we have to respect people's individuality. Coming up, where we

2020
01:45:30,400 --> 01:45:34,360
Speaker 2: are going to finally dive in to my analysis of

2021
01:45:34,400 --> 01:45:37,000
Speaker 2: the remaining four Wildcard round games with first, let's go

2022
01:45:37,040 --> 01:45:40,759
Speaker 2: back to our guy who not only mollywops, but curve

2023
01:45:40,800 --> 01:45:43,719
Speaker 2: stumps the competition. Now so hurt the new metaphor tonight,

2024
01:45:43,760 --> 01:45:44,240
Speaker 2: my friend.

2025
01:45:44,320 --> 01:45:45,880
Speaker 1: Trying to mix it up a little bit. There. I

2026
01:45:45,880 --> 01:45:47,559
Speaker 1: gotta do man, absolutely absolutely so.

2027
01:45:47,640 --> 01:45:50,320
Speaker 7: Speaking of that game that was exclusively on Peacock on

2028
01:45:50,479 --> 01:45:53,080
Speaker 7: a Saturday night, the Chiefs heild that flying high dolphin

2029
01:45:53,120 --> 01:45:55,479
Speaker 7: offense to just two hundred and sixty four yards. The

2030
01:45:55,479 --> 01:45:57,840
Speaker 7: final score was twenty six to seven in favor of

2031
01:45:57,920 --> 01:46:00,479
Speaker 7: the Super Bowl champs, Meanwhile, by the way that chief offense,

2032
01:46:00,520 --> 01:46:03,160
Speaker 7: which has been struggling at times from the majority of

2033
01:46:03,200 --> 01:46:05,719
Speaker 7: the season, they racked up over four hundred yards of offense,

2034
01:46:05,960 --> 01:46:08,920
Speaker 7: including one hundred and forty seven on the ground, CJ.

2035
01:46:08,960 --> 01:46:11,600
Speaker 7: Stroud tossing three touchdown passes in the first half of

2036
01:46:11,640 --> 01:46:15,639
Speaker 7: the Texans they hammer Cleveland forty five to fourteen. Eagles

2037
01:46:15,640 --> 01:46:18,280
Speaker 7: receiver AJ Brown has been ruled out of Monday night's

2038
01:46:18,360 --> 01:46:21,839
Speaker 7: matchup against the Buccaneers with a knee injury. College basketball

2039
01:46:21,920 --> 01:46:25,080

Speaker 7: Curb stumped there it is Penn State ninety five.

2044
01:46:36,800 --> 01:46:39,559
Speaker 1: To seventy eight. It's going to tennis.

2045
01:46:39,600 --> 01:46:42,759
Speaker 7: In the Austie Open, the recently unretired Carolyn Rose Niyaki

2046
01:46:42,840 --> 01:46:46,160
Speaker 7: winning her first round matchup against twentieth ranked Magda Lenett,

2047
01:46:46,320 --> 01:46:48,960
Speaker 7: who had to retire due to injury in the second set.

2048
01:46:49,120 --> 01:46:51,360
Speaker 7: On the mens side, top rank Novak Djokovic tied at

2049
01:46:51,400 --> 01:46:53,920
Speaker 7: three games apiece in the second set after winning the

01:47:03,479 --> 01:47:04,280
Speaker 7: twenty five.

2054
01:47:04,640 --> 01:47:05,519
Speaker 1: Back to Bernie Frido.

2055
01:47:06,240 --> 01:47:10,000
Speaker 2: If you had one shot, one opportunity, That's why you

2056
01:47:10,040 --> 01:47:13,240
Speaker 2: listened to Kevin Figures coming up later, Mom, spaghetti, All right,

2057
01:47:14,640 --> 01:47:16,840
Speaker 2: Packers Cowboys. You know one of the things we haven't

2058
01:47:16,880 --> 01:47:21,720
Speaker 2: talked about regarding this matchup, that playoff games between the

2059
01:47:21,720 --> 01:47:25,240
Speaker 2: Cowboys and Packers. They've been a historic you know, you

2060
01:47:25,280 --> 01:47:27,599
Speaker 2: talked about that game Kansas City was what the fourth

2061
01:47:27,600 --> 01:47:29,719
Speaker 2: coldest game with the coldest game was the Ice Bowl,

2062
01:47:30,000 --> 01:47:33,840
Speaker 2: the nineteen sixty seven NFL Championship where Dallas went to

2063
01:47:34,280 --> 01:47:37,320
Speaker 2: Green Bay lost in the last second, Jerry Kramer made

2064
01:47:37,320 --> 01:47:39,160
Speaker 2: the famous block which, lect to the book, led to

2065
01:47:39,160 --> 01:47:42,280
Speaker 2: the book instant replay by Dick Schapp. Yeah, I'm gonna

2066
01:47:42,360 --> 01:47:44,439
Speaker 2: name drop on this one. Dick Shapp was my mentor

2067
01:47:44,479 --> 01:47:47,000
Speaker 2: and I'll never forget what we met at the Hotel

2068
01:47:47,040 --> 01:47:51,400
Speaker 2: Baronet in Milville, Michigan before one of the hen Greenberg

2069
01:47:51,800 --> 01:47:58,599
Speaker 2: Memorial Tournament banquets and talked about that and the Packers won.

2070
01:47:59,160 --> 01:48:02,640
Speaker 2: Then remember in twenty fourteen when the game played in Dallas,

2071
01:48:03,080 --> 01:48:05,519
Speaker 2: did Death Bryant catch the ball or not catch the ball.

2072
01:48:05,560 --> 01:48:09,360
Speaker 2: In the twenty sixteen Divisional round, Aaron Rodgers hits a

2073
01:48:09,360 --> 01:48:11,760
Speaker 2: clutch thirty five yard completion to set up the game

2074
01:48:11,760 --> 01:48:15,960
Speaker 2: winning field goal. And in that game, Dak Prescott was

2075
01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:19,160
Speaker 2: making his first playoff start. So Green Bay has been

2076
01:48:19,200 --> 01:48:23,120
Speaker 2: a thorn and Dallas has took us come to town.

2077
01:48:23,920 --> 01:48:28,120
Speaker 2: Jordan Love making his first playoff start, coach Mike McCarthy,

2078
01:48:28,920 --> 01:48:31,640
Speaker 2: and believe it or not, McCarthy was actually on the

2079
01:48:31,680 --> 01:48:35,840
Speaker 2: sideline for the Packers for those last two games that

2080
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:40,599
Speaker 2: the Cowboys and Packers played each other. Now he gets

2081
01:48:40,600 --> 01:48:44,360
Speaker 2: a chance to end his former team and in their season.

2082
01:48:44,400 --> 01:48:47,960
Speaker 2: Do I expect Dallas to win? I do. They are

2083
01:48:48,000 --> 01:48:50,320
Speaker 2: a seven point favorite. I just don't think they screwed

2084
01:48:50,479 --> 01:48:52,840
Speaker 2: this one up. They'll screw the next one up. But

2085
01:48:52,960 --> 01:48:55,639
Speaker 2: you can't listen, you can't rule them out. You've got

2086
01:48:55,640 --> 01:48:59,160
Speaker 2: two quarterbacks that should singing around a lot. Prescott led

2087
01:48:59,160 --> 01:49:02,639
Speaker 2: the Nation Football League with thirty six touchdown passes this year,

2088
01:49:02,920 --> 01:49:05,880
Speaker 2: but Jordan Love had thirty two. And I got to

2089
01:49:05,920 --> 01:49:08,760
Speaker 2: tell you, I expect both Aaron Jones to get his

2090
01:49:08,880 --> 01:49:10,719
Speaker 2: yards and Tony Pollard to get his yards.

2091
01:49:11,680 --> 01:49:11,800
Speaker 9: Uh.

2092
01:49:12,040 --> 01:49:16,040
Speaker 2: And this is a stat and a trend that doesn't

2093
01:49:16,080 --> 01:49:20,080
Speaker 2: really correlate I think for Sunday. But the packer is

2094
01:49:20,080 --> 01:49:22,920
Speaker 2: not for nothing. They're five and zero at eighteen and

2095
01:49:22,920 --> 01:49:28,040
Speaker 2: T Stadium all time. Go figure, go figure, all right,

2096
01:49:29,840 --> 01:49:31,599
Speaker 2: you know, I take that and put it in your

2097
01:49:31,600 --> 01:49:33,080
Speaker 2: pipe and smoke, and I don't know where it leads.

2098
01:49:33,120 --> 01:49:33,200
Speaker 5: You.

2099
01:49:33,800 --> 01:49:38,960
Speaker 2: Look the Cowboys, they're penalty ridden, but they also draw

2100
01:49:39,000 --> 01:49:42,439
Speaker 2: a lot of penalties. This is a game that I

2101
01:49:42,479 --> 01:49:44,680
Speaker 2: think may be interesting for a while, but I just

2102
01:49:44,720 --> 01:49:49,040
Speaker 2: feel Dallas's win. Dallas wins, and it ends up probably

2103
01:49:49,120 --> 01:49:52,360
Speaker 2: right around the number thirty one twenty four. But you

2104
01:49:52,439 --> 01:49:55,320
Speaker 2: never know what McCarthy's going to do. You never know

2105
01:49:55,479 --> 01:49:58,519
Speaker 2: what dak is going to do, so you can't rule

2106
01:49:58,600 --> 01:50:03,360
Speaker 2: anything out. I'm gonna jump past the Lions and Steelers bills,

2107
01:50:03,360 --> 01:50:07,360
Speaker 2: which has been moved to Monday. I think this game

2108
01:50:07,400 --> 01:50:08,800
Speaker 2: is gonna be a little bit more hard fought than

2109
01:50:08,800 --> 01:50:11,799
Speaker 2: people realize. You're gonna have twenty mili an hour wins

2110
01:50:12,360 --> 01:50:14,720
Speaker 2: and up to forty fifty milli an hour gusts and

2111
01:50:14,720 --> 01:50:16,519
Speaker 2: it's gonna be twenty degrees and maybe to get some

2112
01:50:16,520 --> 01:50:18,400
Speaker 2: of the snow out of there, but that sort of

2113
01:50:18,439 --> 01:50:22,840
Speaker 2: neutralizes Buffalo's passing attack. Pittsburgh's rushed for four d and

2114
01:50:22,840 --> 01:50:26,160
Speaker 2: seventy yards in the last three games. I expect Najia Harris,

2115
01:50:26,200 --> 01:50:29,240
Speaker 2: who's been a beast, to have his third consecutive game

2116
01:50:29,600 --> 01:50:31,240
Speaker 2: of at least one hundred yards.

2117
01:50:31,800 --> 01:50:32,080
Speaker 9: Now.

2118
01:50:32,200 --> 01:50:34,280
Speaker 2: I will say this, the Bill's rush defense is the

2119
01:50:34,320 --> 01:50:36,639
Speaker 2: toughest the Steelers will have faced in the last month.

2120
01:50:37,400 --> 01:50:41,320
Speaker 2: They don't allow a lot of run yards, but Najia

2121
01:50:41,320 --> 01:50:43,559
Speaker 2: Harris is on a roll. And I think you're gonna

2122
01:50:43,560 --> 01:50:45,599
Speaker 2: get a physical attitude out of Pittsburgh and you don't

2123
01:50:45,600 --> 01:50:48,759
Speaker 2: have TJ. Watt and that's gonna hurt. But I feel

2124
01:50:49,200 --> 01:50:51,120
Speaker 2: Buffalo wins this game. But I don't think it's gonna

2125
01:50:51,120 --> 01:50:53,479
Speaker 2: be the cakewalk people think it's gonna be. I feel

2126
01:50:53,479 --> 01:50:58,200
Speaker 2: it's gonna be somewhere along the lines of maybe, I

2127
01:50:58,240 --> 01:51:02,040
Speaker 2: don't know, let's call it twenty thirteen something along those lines.

2128
01:51:02,720 --> 01:51:04,720
Speaker 2: The Steelers were ten and seven against the number in

2129
01:51:04,720 --> 01:51:07,880
Speaker 2: the regular season. They went under most of the time

2130
01:51:07,960 --> 01:51:11,080
Speaker 2: seventy percent of the time, and you're paying a Buffalo.

2131
01:51:11,120 --> 01:51:14,400
Speaker 2: Bill's tax here, make no mistake because of their prolific

2132
01:51:14,439 --> 01:51:16,479
Speaker 2: offense and how Buffalo really got it going in the

2133
01:51:16,560 --> 01:51:19,160
Speaker 2: last few weeks. And I gotta tell you Buffalo prevails here,

2134
01:51:19,200 --> 01:51:21,760
Speaker 2: They're gonna be a handful. Kansas City would have to

2135
01:51:21,800 --> 01:51:24,280
Speaker 2: come to town, and I think Kansas City might be

2136
01:51:24,280 --> 01:51:28,280
Speaker 2: in trouble if Buffalo wins Sunday. Monday, check that the

2137
01:51:28,280 --> 01:51:31,320
Speaker 2: game has been moved. I think you might pencil them

2138
01:51:31,360 --> 01:51:33,639
Speaker 2: in for the AFC Championship game, but we shall see.

2139
01:51:33,680 --> 01:51:36,000
Speaker 2: Let's not get too ahead of ourselves. Coming up, we're

2140
01:51:36,000 --> 01:51:38,960
Speaker 2: gonna get together two games highly charged Eagles Buccaneers and

2141
01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:43,280
Speaker 2: of course Lions Rams. I'll give my prediction on both.

2142
01:51:43,320 --> 01:51:45,320
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Fraddle. We're coming to you live from Las Vegas,

2143
01:51:45,320 --> 01:51:47,920
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, Tirack dot Com Studios. Keep it locked.

2144
01:51:48,080 --> 01:51:50,439
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

2145
01:51:51,680 --> 01:51:54,040
Speaker 2: All right back on the Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio,

2146
01:51:54,080 --> 01:51:56,439
Speaker 2: coming to live the Tarrack dot Com studios here in

2147
01:51:56,720 --> 01:51:59,799
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. Top of the hour, the dance sensations sweeping,

2148
01:51:59,800 --> 01:52:02,200
Speaker 2: Then what kind of brand new food you? Followed by

2149
01:52:02,920 --> 01:52:05,400
Speaker 2: what my name? I'm going to jump to Monday night,

2150
01:52:05,479 --> 01:52:11,479
Speaker 2: the final game of the wild Card Super wild Card Weekend.

2151
01:52:11,680 --> 01:52:16,960
Speaker 2: It actually involves a rematch remember Week three the Bucks.

2152
01:52:18,080 --> 01:52:20,160
Speaker 2: I believe the game was at home, you guys can

2153
01:52:20,160 --> 01:52:22,240
Speaker 2: correct me. It was a Monday night football game. I

2154
01:52:22,240 --> 01:52:24,639
Speaker 2: think the Eagles beat the Bucks twenty five to eleven.

2155
01:52:25,360 --> 01:52:27,920
Speaker 2: But obviously these two teams are heading opposite directions. The

2156
01:52:27,920 --> 01:52:30,680
Speaker 2: Bucks have won five of their past six. Eagles have

2157
01:52:30,760 --> 01:52:32,880
Speaker 2: lost five of their past six, have not looked good

2158
01:52:32,960 --> 01:52:36,240
Speaker 2: doing it. I would say the Bucks will see a

2159
01:52:36,280 --> 01:52:40,400
Speaker 2: little different looking defensive scheme since Matt Patricia took over,

2160
01:52:40,880 --> 01:52:43,880
Speaker 2: which is always a very sobering thought. I'm not a

2161
01:52:43,880 --> 01:52:45,559
Speaker 2: Matt Patricia fan. I don't know what the hell he's

2162
01:52:45,560 --> 01:52:48,719
Speaker 2: doing with that pencil in his ear. But look, both

2163
01:52:48,800 --> 01:52:52,160
Speaker 2: quarterbacks did he with injury? Baker Mayfield has a rib injury,

2164
01:52:52,160 --> 01:52:56,200
Speaker 2: He's got an ankle injury. Jalen Hurts he had a

2165
01:52:56,200 --> 01:53:01,000
Speaker 2: finger injury and his throwing hand. I know how difficult

2166
01:53:01,040 --> 01:53:05,719
Speaker 2: it's been for the Eagles in recent weeks. It something

2167
01:53:05,760 --> 01:53:08,280
Speaker 2: has gone wrong. They mailed in the game against the

2168
01:53:08,320 --> 01:53:12,599
Speaker 2: Giants because they know darn well that they were pretty

2169
01:53:12,600 --> 01:53:17,960
Speaker 2: well set in their whatever their You know, they weren't

2170
01:53:17,960 --> 01:53:19,519
Speaker 2: going to get a home game. You get the picture.

2171
01:53:20,479 --> 01:53:24,120
Speaker 2: So where am I going with this? I think their culture,

2172
01:53:24,479 --> 01:53:28,040
Speaker 2: their history, the talent on their side of the ball

2173
01:53:28,479 --> 01:53:32,360
Speaker 2: will find one way, one way to get this thing done.

2174
01:53:32,760 --> 01:53:34,960
Speaker 2: The Eagles held Tampa Bay to forty one rushing yards

2175
01:53:34,960 --> 01:53:37,400
Speaker 2: the last time they played. I get that the defense

2176
01:53:37,479 --> 01:53:41,960
Speaker 2: is falling off a clip, particularly their run defense. And

2177
01:53:42,040 --> 01:53:44,880
Speaker 2: I like Baker Mayfield more than most people, but he's

2178
01:53:44,920 --> 01:53:47,719
Speaker 2: banged up, and I think he's gonna lean on Rashad White.

2179
01:53:47,760 --> 01:53:50,040
Speaker 2: And if you run with a big box, and if

2180
01:53:50,080 --> 01:53:52,680
Speaker 2: the Eagles have to do the brotherly shove or that

2181
01:53:52,800 --> 01:53:54,439
Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it, they're the only ones

2182
01:53:54,479 --> 01:53:55,960
Speaker 2: that know how to do it. And I get that

2183
01:53:56,520 --> 01:54:01,600
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts has struggled with ball security this season, particularly

2184
01:54:01,680 --> 01:54:05,840
Speaker 2: against the Blitz, but I believe in Jalen Hurts. I

2185
01:54:06,040 --> 01:54:08,760
Speaker 2: just had again in much the same way. I know

2186
01:54:08,840 --> 01:54:11,280
Speaker 2: this sounds kind of lame, but in much the same

2187
01:54:11,320 --> 01:54:14,519
Speaker 2: way I had a feeling about the Texans last night

2188
01:54:14,560 --> 01:54:17,320
Speaker 2: show heading into today. Certainly didn't predict that would be

2189
01:54:17,320 --> 01:54:20,400
Speaker 2: the score. But I love CJ. Stratt, I love what

2190
01:54:20,439 --> 01:54:23,639
Speaker 2: Demiko Ryans has done. That is a true football team

2191
01:54:23,680 --> 01:54:25,600
Speaker 2: in all three phases, then they are going to be

2192
01:54:25,640 --> 01:54:29,800
Speaker 2: a problem. I assuming Buffalo wins, which I believe they will,

2193
01:54:30,760 --> 01:54:33,080
Speaker 2: the Texans are going to go to Baltimore. Don't think

2194
01:54:33,120 --> 01:54:35,040
Speaker 2: for a minute they're not going to give Baltimore a

2195
01:54:35,120 --> 01:54:40,800
Speaker 2: handful because Dumiico Ryans, who was a linebacker in University

2196
01:54:40,840 --> 01:54:43,840
Speaker 2: of Alabama and then went on to have a very

2197
01:54:43,880 --> 01:54:48,240
Speaker 2: good NFL career and he was outstanding defensive coordinator. Listen,

2198
01:54:48,240 --> 01:54:50,200
Speaker 2: this is where he lives. Man. You want to drag

2199
01:54:50,240 --> 01:54:52,120
Speaker 2: that guy into a fistfight in a phone booth, you

2200
01:54:52,200 --> 01:54:55,040
Speaker 2: better pack a lunch. Houston will smash you in the mouth.

2201
01:54:55,520 --> 01:54:58,040
Speaker 2: They just happen to have a transcendent quarterback that's bringing

2202
01:54:58,040 --> 01:55:02,320
Speaker 2: it all together. Good receivers, and the vibe of this

2203
01:55:02,360 --> 01:55:05,480
Speaker 2: team is unreal. There. They kind of remind me of

2204
01:55:05,480 --> 01:55:07,840
Speaker 2: like the Oakland Raiders back in nineteen eighty they came

2205
01:55:07,840 --> 01:55:09,440
Speaker 2: out of nowhere and then won the wild Card and

2206
01:55:09,480 --> 01:55:12,520
Speaker 2: then win the Super Bowl and stuffed Philadelphia in Super

2207
01:55:12,520 --> 01:55:17,520
Speaker 2: Bowl fifteen. But I digress. I get that hurts his

2208
01:55:17,600 --> 01:55:21,040
Speaker 2: struggle and he's got a finger issue and he even

2209
01:55:21,120 --> 01:55:23,200
Speaker 2: said the other day he really hasn't thrown the ball

2210
01:55:23,280 --> 01:55:28,840
Speaker 2: since week eighteen, and we'll see how that hampers his

2211
01:55:28,880 --> 01:55:31,840
Speaker 2: ability on Monday Night. But I also think if Philly

2212
01:55:31,880 --> 01:55:34,520
Speaker 2: can get their run game going with DeAndre Swift he

2213
01:55:34,600 --> 01:55:36,680
Speaker 2: ran for like one hundred and forty against Tampa Bay

2214
01:55:36,720 --> 01:55:39,800
Speaker 2: back in Week three, you feed him. I know there's

2215
01:55:40,000 --> 01:55:43,360
Speaker 2: in all kinds of public conversation about the Eagles, but look,

2216
01:55:43,400 --> 01:55:45,120
Speaker 2: this is a one game affair. You throw the rest

2217
01:55:45,160 --> 01:55:48,120
Speaker 2: of it out, and the playoffs are a far different dynamic.

2218
01:55:48,160 --> 01:55:51,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna call it Eagles, and by the way, I

2219
01:55:51,240 --> 01:55:53,200
Speaker 2: do think points are going to be the premium. And

2220
01:55:53,240 --> 01:55:54,760
Speaker 2: one last thing, I should have brought this up at

2221
01:55:54,760 --> 01:55:59,000
Speaker 2: the top. While it's true that Tampa Bay came up

2222
01:55:59,000 --> 01:56:04,480
Speaker 2: big and beating Carolina week eighteen to not only punch

2223
01:56:04,520 --> 01:56:06,760
Speaker 2: their ticket to the playoffs but actually win the division,

2224
01:56:07,760 --> 01:56:12,400
Speaker 2: they scored nine points. They scored nine points against Carolina,

2225
01:56:12,560 --> 01:56:16,520
Speaker 2: a two win team, So I'm not exactly enamored with

2226
01:56:16,560 --> 01:56:19,240
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay's offense, and I think points could be at

2227
01:56:19,240 --> 01:56:23,839
Speaker 2: a premium. This feels to me like Eagles seventeen thirteen

2228
01:56:23,960 --> 01:56:26,120
Speaker 2: something along those lines. But there's no way I could

2229
01:56:26,160 --> 01:56:32,240
Speaker 2: back Tampa Bay here. And I know my opinion on

2230
01:56:32,280 --> 01:56:36,720
Speaker 2: this may not be popular, but I'm going with culture, history,

2231
01:56:37,080 --> 01:56:42,080
Speaker 2: playoff experience, pedigree, and I'm not down on Nick Sirianni.

2232
01:56:42,160 --> 01:56:46,400
Speaker 2: Like everybody else's coaches don't grow on trees. They did

2233
01:56:46,440 --> 01:56:48,200
Speaker 2: go to the Super Bowl last year and they come

2234
01:56:48,240 --> 01:56:50,320
Speaker 2: out of the gate. They're ten and one. This year

2235
01:56:51,040 --> 01:56:53,440
Speaker 2: ten and one. What the hell happened? And I know

2236
01:56:53,480 --> 01:56:55,200
Speaker 2: the numbers are terrible. Last year they had a number

2237
01:56:55,240 --> 01:56:57,760
Speaker 2: two run defense. This year they're number twenty nine. We

2238
01:56:57,800 --> 01:57:01,000
Speaker 2: don't need to go through all the numbers again, but

2239
01:57:01,880 --> 01:57:04,000
Speaker 2: you know, somewhere in the middle lives of truth. The

2240
01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:07,160
Speaker 2: Eagles aren't ten and one anymore, but they're not as

2241
01:57:07,200 --> 01:57:09,520
Speaker 2: bad as they were. And you heard my commentary last

2242
01:57:09,560 --> 01:57:12,440
Speaker 2: week on how Super Bowl losing teams struggle many times

2243
01:57:12,520 --> 01:57:14,040
Speaker 2: the following season. But at least they're back in the

2244
01:57:14,040 --> 01:57:17,839
Speaker 2: playoffs finally, Rams Lions, I get it. Stafford versus Goff.

2245
01:57:18,920 --> 01:57:21,000
Speaker 2: A lot of folks feel it'll be a high scoring game.

2246
01:57:21,160 --> 01:57:24,520
Speaker 2: I'm not sure it might. The total is fifty and

2247
01:57:24,560 --> 01:57:27,640
Speaker 2: a half. I'm not playing the total. I believe that

2248
01:57:27,760 --> 01:57:32,040
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell has instituted a culture here, and it started

2249
01:57:32,040 --> 01:57:34,600
Speaker 2: after they were one and six last season and they

2250
01:57:34,640 --> 01:57:39,000
Speaker 2: fired their defensive backs coach Aubrey Pleasant, they changed their scheme,

2251
01:57:39,120 --> 01:57:42,080
Speaker 2: brought in a couple new guys, CJ. Gardner, Johnson one

2252
01:57:42,080 --> 01:57:44,200
Speaker 2: of them who was back, and the rest is history.

2253
01:57:44,200 --> 01:57:46,720
Speaker 2: They went eight and two down the stretch. The Lions

2254
01:57:46,720 --> 01:57:50,600
Speaker 2: come back. They were eleven and six this year. They

2255
01:57:50,640 --> 01:57:52,400
Speaker 2: certainly could have been twelve and five. Have not that

2256
01:57:52,440 --> 01:57:54,360
Speaker 2: debacle in Dallas. So they're nineteen and eight in their

2257
01:57:54,440 --> 01:57:57,560
Speaker 2: last twenty seven games. That doesn't happen by accident. The

2258
01:57:57,640 --> 01:58:01,440
Speaker 2: Lions are ready. They have the culture, they have, the

2259
01:58:01,520 --> 01:58:03,600
Speaker 2: running game, they have, the passing game. Has their defense

2260
01:58:03,640 --> 01:58:06,720
Speaker 2: been great, No, not recently, but neither has the Rams.

2261
01:58:07,840 --> 01:58:11,400
Speaker 2: And if this game were in La, not sure. But

2262
01:58:11,480 --> 01:58:15,800
Speaker 2: it's in Detroit, and I'm more sure that. As Dan

2263
01:58:16,240 --> 01:58:19,160
Speaker 2: Leach brought up to use the term same alliance, when

2264
01:58:19,200 --> 01:58:21,560
Speaker 2: you have a situation where none of these guys were

2265
01:58:21,560 --> 01:58:24,920
Speaker 2: even born when half the travails were going on. That

2266
01:58:25,040 --> 01:58:28,480
Speaker 2: I've shared my years doing Lions pre and post. Now

2267
01:58:28,560 --> 01:58:30,280
Speaker 2: I know I got to eat crowd next Saturday or

2268
01:58:30,320 --> 01:58:34,080
Speaker 2: next Friday night. If the Lions lose, well, I somebody

2269
01:58:34,120 --> 01:58:36,160
Speaker 2: can call me same alliance, because look, if you get

2270
01:58:36,160 --> 01:58:38,440
Speaker 2: to the playoffs but don't win the recent people call

2271
01:58:38,480 --> 01:58:40,320
Speaker 2: them that is because they've always let people down when

2272
01:58:40,320 --> 01:58:44,280
Speaker 2: the expectations were actually there, and the expectations are actually there,

2273
01:58:44,880 --> 01:58:48,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ahead and call it Lions twenty four twenty.

2274
01:58:48,640 --> 01:58:51,640
Speaker 2: I feel that the Lions prevail. I feel that the

2275
01:58:51,680 --> 01:58:53,120
Speaker 2: crowd will have a lot to do with it. But

2276
01:58:53,160 --> 01:58:55,720
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, the culture, the coaching,

2277
01:58:56,240 --> 01:58:58,840
Speaker 2: and the team between the Lions is ready for this moment,

2278
01:58:58,920 --> 01:59:00,760

2288
01:59:30,080 --> 01:59:33,360
Speaker 2: you know, around this great land of ours and even

2289
01:59:33,400 --> 01:59:37,840
Speaker 2: around the globe. Every day twenty four to seven, people

2290
01:59:37,920 --> 01:59:40,879
Speaker 2: do things people do things that well, they get attention,

2291
01:59:41,000 --> 01:59:44,800
Speaker 2: and sometimes it's innocuous and silly and harmless. Other times

2292
01:59:44,800 --> 01:59:48,240
Speaker 2: it's a little bit more dangerous, and many times they

2293
01:59:48,280 --> 01:59:51,080
Speaker 2: engage in behaviors that end up breaking the law and

2294
01:59:51,120 --> 01:59:53,160

Speaker 2: slice it, anyway, you characterize it, any way describe it,

2296
01:59:56,760 --> 02:00:00,120
Speaker 2: these are always human events that leave us scratching our

2297
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:02,840
Speaker 2: our heads and asking ourselves, what kind of brand new

2298
02:00:02,840 --> 02:00:09,800
Speaker 2: fool are you? So?

2299
02:00:10,280 --> 02:00:12,240
Speaker 1: What kind of brand new fool are you?

2300
02:00:13,040 --> 02:00:15,760
Speaker 2: Well? Is this often the case? We take you to Florida.

2301
02:00:16,400 --> 02:00:20,200
Speaker 2: O'calla Florida this time, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,

2302
02:00:20,200 --> 02:00:24,880
Speaker 2: grandma and grandpa, meet James Rix Junior, forty one year

2303
02:00:24,920 --> 02:00:30,720
Speaker 2: old James Rix Junior of Ocalla, Florida, now recently a

2304
02:00:30,920 --> 02:00:34,320
Speaker 2: police officer from the Marion County Sheriff's Office. He was

2305
02:00:34,400 --> 02:00:39,760
Speaker 2: just conducting your you know, your routine radar enforcement. Of course,

2306
02:00:39,800 --> 02:00:41,920
Speaker 2: this happened to be in the middle of the night,

2307
02:00:42,400 --> 02:00:44,520
Speaker 2: I believe not sure what time it was, but I

2308
02:00:44,520 --> 02:00:46,360
Speaker 2: think I'm gonna guess it was around one in the morning.

2309
02:00:46,440 --> 02:00:49,240
Speaker 2: Let's just say that's a nice round number. When all

2310
02:00:49,280 --> 02:00:53,960
Speaker 2: of a sudden, while on shift. This orange pickup truck

2311
02:00:54,120 --> 02:00:58,040
Speaker 2: came barreling like a bat out of hell, blew past

2312
02:00:58,080 --> 02:01:01,320
Speaker 2: the patrol car and it was caught on dash cam.

2313
02:01:01,480 --> 02:01:05,320
Speaker 2: Now radar confirmed the vehicle was going eighty nine miles

2314
02:01:05,320 --> 02:01:09,080
Speaker 2: an hour in a forty five mile hour zone. Yep, yep.

2315
02:01:09,160 --> 02:01:14,000
Speaker 2: Yet well, well, the deputy activators emergency lights, turned down

2316
02:01:14,040 --> 02:01:17,440
Speaker 2: a siren and took up chase. But the driver of

2317
02:01:17,440 --> 02:01:20,560
Speaker 2: the truck, again, our friend, mister Rix Junior, forty one

2318
02:01:20,640 --> 02:01:23,480
Speaker 2: years old, Well, he not only fled from the deputy,

2319
02:01:23,520 --> 02:01:25,600
Speaker 2: he turned off his lights and it was so dark

2320
02:01:26,520 --> 02:01:30,080
Speaker 2: he thought he might be able to elude the police officer.

2321
02:01:30,080 --> 02:01:32,080
Speaker 2: But no, no, no, it didn't work. Of course, the

2322
02:01:32,080 --> 02:01:34,400
Speaker 2: deputy caught up with him, and the body cam video

2323
02:01:34,440 --> 02:01:39,640
Speaker 2: shows later that deputees Multiple conducted a traffic stop and

2324
02:01:40,960 --> 02:01:44,160
Speaker 2: administered you know, DUI testing, and the deputy said he

2325
02:01:44,200 --> 02:01:48,760
Speaker 2: could smell alcohol coming from Rick's breath, probably from about

2326
02:01:48,800 --> 02:01:51,160
Speaker 2: sixty feet away. I made up the sixty eight feet part,

2327
02:01:51,200 --> 02:01:54,280
Speaker 2: but long and the short of it is the Sheriff's

2328
02:01:54,320 --> 02:01:56,920
Speaker 2: office told Rix he failed the sobriety test. He failed

2329
02:01:56,920 --> 02:02:03,600
Speaker 2: the sobriety exercises, and he was fairly cooperative actually until

2330
02:02:03,840 --> 02:02:06,400
Speaker 2: they said he was under arrest, and then he became

2331
02:02:06,640 --> 02:02:11,240
Speaker 2: very verbally aggressive. He was in transferred to Marion County Jail,

2332
02:02:11,280 --> 02:02:14,960
Speaker 2: and once mister Rix was in jail, they provided breast

2333
02:02:14,960 --> 02:02:18,320
Speaker 2: samples of point two or four in point two that

2334
02:02:18,560 --> 02:02:21,960
Speaker 2: is almost three times over the legal limits. Of course,

2335
02:02:22,080 --> 02:02:24,440
Speaker 2: mister Ricks charged with DOI and fleeing to a loud

2336
02:02:24,440 --> 02:02:28,720
Speaker 2: a law enforcement officer. He also received traffic fightations for

2337
02:02:28,880 --> 02:02:33,080
Speaker 2: unlawful speed and possession of an open container. But here's

2338
02:02:33,120 --> 02:02:36,840
Speaker 2: the best part. He was wearing a shirt and this

2339
02:02:36,880 --> 02:02:39,360
Speaker 2: is what takes the cake for all the foolish things

2340
02:02:39,360 --> 02:02:41,640
Speaker 2: he did the minute he got out of the car.

2341
02:02:41,720 --> 02:02:44,400
Speaker 2: The shirt was a big blue shirt that said I'm

2342
02:02:44,520 --> 02:02:49,920
Speaker 2: the reason the beer is always gone. Nicely done, mister Rix.

2343
02:02:50,320 --> 02:02:53,200
Speaker 2: All I can say is, what kind of brand new

2344
02:02:53,280 --> 02:02:56,960
Speaker 2: fool are you? Okay, Shay, you're.

2345
02:02:56,920 --> 02:03:01,120
Speaker 10: Up all right, So we're going internet with this one.

2346
02:03:01,720 --> 02:03:05,840
Speaker 10: Wanted man Wayne Parker successfully evaded authorities for nearly a

2347
02:03:05,960 --> 02:03:10,600
Speaker 10: year after committing fraud for nearly almost a million dollars.

2348
02:03:11,080 --> 02:03:14,360
Speaker 10: But then the farmer from Suffolk, England signed up for

2349
02:03:14,400 --> 02:03:21,120
Speaker 10: a dating app cop Shop to see the convicted criminal

2350

2352
02:03:29,640 --> 02:03:32,960
Speaker 10: October of owing a whopping nine hundred and seventy thousand

2353
02:03:32,960 --> 02:03:35,760
Speaker 10: dollars to the suppliers. He had failed to appear in

2354
02:03:35,800 --> 02:03:39,120
Speaker 10: court in February for sentencing, and as it was being

2355
02:03:39,200 --> 02:03:44,120
Speaker 10: hunted by police to no avail until the until Wayne

2356
02:03:44,600 --> 02:03:47,840

02:04:08,040 --> 02:04:08,720
Speaker 10: he was trying to hide.

2367
02:04:08,720 --> 02:04:10,760

Speaker 2: done this before, looking forward to what you've got to say.

2373
02:04:26,400 --> 02:04:28,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, so you know and all of us, you know,

2374
02:04:28,360 --> 02:04:30,320
Speaker 7: times are hard financially for a lot of people.

2375
02:04:30,360 --> 02:04:31,680
Speaker 1: So we're trying to see if we can save a

2376
02:04:31,720 --> 02:04:33,040
Speaker 1: buck or two whenever we can.

2377
02:04:33,760 --> 02:04:36,360
Speaker 7: But rarely do you see it in this particular situation

2378
02:04:36,440 --> 02:04:40,200
Speaker 7: that happened in Indianapolis where a couple and all of

2379
02:04:40,240 --> 02:04:42,680
Speaker 7: their party for their wedding decided to crash and have

2380
02:04:42,800 --> 02:04:44,360
Speaker 7: their ceremony at a coffee shop.

2381
02:04:45,600 --> 02:04:46,440
Speaker 1: I'm dead serious.

2382
02:04:47,040 --> 02:04:49,640
Speaker 7: So I'm not just sitting there just having your coffee

2383
02:04:49,680 --> 02:04:51,400
Speaker 7: one morning and then all of a sudden, twenty to

2384
02:04:51,440 --> 02:04:54,000
Speaker 7: thirty people roll in with a priest and all and

2385
02:04:54,120 --> 02:04:56,720
Speaker 7: just set up and start having a wedding ceremony. They

2386
02:04:56,800 --> 02:05:01,880
Speaker 7: start treating the baristas like they're actually workers at the wedding. Here,

2387
02:05:01,960 --> 02:05:04,600
Speaker 7: hold my coat, grab me some coffee. Stand off in

2388
02:05:04,680 --> 02:05:09,240
Speaker 7: the corner. You're at my video shot. So obviously the

2389
02:05:09,280 --> 02:05:11,560
Speaker 7: owners of the coffee shop are saying, what is wrong

2390
02:05:11,600 --> 02:05:13,600
Speaker 7: with you people, You can't do this. They're by actually

2391
02:05:13,600 --> 02:05:17,080
Speaker 7: blocking the entrance of the of the shop, not allowing

2392
02:05:17,160 --> 02:05:19,960
Speaker 7: other patrons to come in and order their coffee or

2393
02:05:20,000 --> 02:05:22,360
Speaker 7: their bagels whatever they want to get that morning. So

2394
02:05:22,520 --> 02:05:24,440
Speaker 7: after it's all over, the owners of the shop end

2395
02:05:24,520 --> 02:05:27,040
Speaker 7: up charging the wedding that the couple and say, look,

2396
02:05:27,040 --> 02:05:30,280
Speaker 7: you can't guy, you guys are interrupting our business. Apparently

2397
02:05:30,320 --> 02:05:33,400
Speaker 7: the bride said, our apologies, We're off you two hundred dollars.

2398
02:05:33,760 --> 02:05:36,400
Speaker 7: It's at two hundred dollars tall. U's wrong with you

2399
02:05:36,440 --> 02:05:40,600
Speaker 7: people now apparently burning. The story behind this coffee shop

2400
02:05:40,600 --> 02:05:42,960
Speaker 7: there next door to a wedding venue, and oftentimes what

2401
02:05:43,120 --> 02:05:46,280
Speaker 7: ends up happening is they do offer themselves up for

2402
02:05:46,960 --> 02:05:50,720
Speaker 7: wedding parties to have the receptions there or other public

2403
02:05:50,760 --> 02:05:53,520
Speaker 7: events or private events. Excuse me, but you have to

2404
02:05:53,560 --> 02:05:56,160
Speaker 7: actually sign up for it. This was on New Year's Eve.

2405
02:05:56,240 --> 02:05:59,280
Speaker 7: They had no idea anything was happening. The wedding venue

2406
02:05:59,320 --> 02:06:01,480
Speaker 7: next door to them will closed as for all they knew,

2407
02:06:01,960 --> 02:06:04,880
Speaker 7: and this couple decided they just crash in have their

2408
02:06:04,920 --> 02:06:08,160
Speaker 7: own flash mob wedding, hopefully for free on the I

2409
02:06:08,160 --> 02:06:10,640
Speaker 7: guess on the coffee shops tab and thought they'd get

2410
02:06:10,640 --> 02:06:14,320
Speaker 7: off scott free. Unfortunately they were not. The coffee shop

2411
02:06:14,360 --> 02:06:16,480
Speaker 7: did charge them to undisclosed amount of money. Whether or

2412
02:06:16,520 --> 02:06:18,480
Speaker 7: not they've been paid for that, I'm not one hundred

2413
02:06:18,480 --> 02:06:19,080
Speaker 7: percent sure.

2414
02:06:20,080 --> 02:06:23,360
Speaker 2: Wow, Kevin, you said did you give the location? And

2415
02:06:23,440 --> 02:06:24,920
Speaker 2: I wasn't paying attention. I'm just kidding.

2416
02:06:25,000 --> 02:06:28,160
Speaker 7: This is an Indianapolis this happened on Indianapolis on New

2417
02:06:28,200 --> 02:06:33,000
Speaker 7: Year's Eve Day.

2418
02:06:33,480 --> 02:06:34,280
Speaker 2: That's why we do this.

2419
02:06:34,360 --> 02:06:35,680
Speaker 1: Man the nerve of some people.

2420
02:06:35,680 --> 02:06:39,600
Speaker 10: A week's unreal holiday wedding too, I hate them. I

2421
02:06:39,640 --> 02:06:40,640
Speaker 10: hate holiday weddings.

2422
02:06:40,680 --> 02:06:43,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, for a lot of reasons. And missfai

2423

2424
02:06:46,520 --> 02:06:50,480
Speaker 2: good job, guys, really good. So, of course that wraps

2425
02:06:50,560 --> 02:06:52,960
Speaker 2: up another rousing edition of what kind of brand new

2426
02:06:52,960 --> 02:06:55,600
Speaker 2: fool of You? But it allows us to segue and

2427

02:13:50,360 --> 02:13:53,480
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott last week became the second NFL quarterback in

2548

2557

Speaker 2: give you guys a hint all right, this actually happened

2558
02:14:28,480 --> 02:14:31,720
Speaker 2: in nineteen forty five. He's a legendary Rams quarterback. But

2559
02:14:32,200 --> 02:14:36,920

02:14:52,360 --> 02:14:56,240
Speaker 2: another week, but we'll have more rousing editions next Saturday

2565
02:14:56,280 --> 02:14:58,320
Speaker 2: coming up. I want to bring the crew back in

2566
02:14:58,520 --> 02:15:01,520
Speaker 2: because what if you could wave a magic wand with

2567
02:15:01,600 --> 02:15:04,560
Speaker 2: the remaining teams left in the current tournament and say,

2568
02:15:04,960 --> 02:15:07,600

2569
02:15:07,720 --> 02:15:11,160

2572
02:15:17,640 --> 02:15:21,640

2573
02:15:22,080 --> 02:15:24,800
Speaker 2: it's the Texan sneak in there. I wouldn't mind that,

2574
02:15:24,880 --> 02:15:28,280
Speaker 2: But those suffering Bills fans, those suffering Lions fans, the

2575

02:15:59,520 --> 02:16:02,840
Speaker 2: If I could we have a magic wand the Super Bowl.

2584
02:16:02,880 --> 02:16:07,160
Speaker 2: I would like to see Buffalo and Detroit, two great

2585
02:16:07,320 --> 02:16:11,120
Speaker 2: fan bases, two great cities with people who live and

2586
02:16:11,160 --> 02:16:13,880
Speaker 2: die with their sports teams. Buffalo doesn't have a Major

2587
02:16:13,960 --> 02:16:16,680
Speaker 2: League Baseball team. They don't have an NBA team. They

2588
02:16:16,760 --> 02:16:18,840
Speaker 2: used to, they left for San Diego million years ago.

2589
02:16:18,920 --> 02:16:21,000
Speaker 2: They have a hockey team that hasn't won since Moby

2590
02:16:21,000 --> 02:16:23,280
Speaker 2: Dick was a middle Buffalo has been to the Super

2591
02:16:23,320 --> 02:16:25,560
Speaker 2: Bowl four times. He came so close a couple years

2592
02:16:25,560 --> 02:16:30,280
Speaker 2: ago in Kansas City. Getting back sports gods, football gods, Trombona,

2593
02:16:30,320 --> 02:16:33,320
Speaker 2: how about the Lions? Come on, man, that's what I

2594
02:16:33,320 --> 02:16:36,920
Speaker 2: would like to see again. We're playing fanboy here, Shay,

2595
02:16:37,400 --> 02:16:39,640
Speaker 2: you got a magic wand what's the one you'd like

2596
02:16:39,680 --> 02:16:41,440
Speaker 2: to see for your own personal reasons?

2597
02:16:42,120 --> 02:16:46,680
Speaker 10: So the Browns are out. It's a big stain on that.

2598
02:16:46,920 --> 02:16:49,360
Speaker 10: So I don't want to see the Texans one bit.

2599
02:16:50,959 --> 02:16:53,400
Speaker 10: I think I want to see the Packers. I really,

2600
02:16:53,560 --> 02:16:55,879
Speaker 10: I really want to see the Packers, and I really

2601
02:16:55,920 --> 02:16:56,959
Speaker 10: want to see the Ravens.

2602
02:16:57,959 --> 02:16:59,400
Speaker 2: That would actually be a really good super Bowl.

2603
02:16:59,440 --> 02:17:01,000
Speaker 11: I think that would be really fun super Bowl.

2604
02:17:01,320 --> 02:17:04,320
Speaker 2: And can you imagine Jordan Love his first year as

2605
02:17:04,320 --> 02:17:08,280
Speaker 2: a starter. He's already accomplished something both Brett Favre nor

2606
02:17:08,280 --> 02:17:10,360
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers did and that's get the team to the

2607
02:17:10,400 --> 02:17:13,240
Speaker 2: playoffs his very first year. So either he would win

2608
02:17:13,280 --> 02:17:17,360
Speaker 2: it or Lamar Jackson would would win it. I'd sign

2609
02:17:17,440 --> 02:17:19,760
Speaker 2: up for that, I think. All right, Kevin, figures your thoughts.

2610
02:17:21,600 --> 02:17:23,280
Speaker 1: I like to see the heavyweights go at it.

2611
02:17:23,360 --> 02:17:26,600
Speaker 7: So I know it wasn't the most entertaining matchup on Christmas,

2612
02:17:26,600 --> 02:17:28,080
Speaker 7: but I would love to see the two one seeds

2613
02:17:28,120 --> 02:17:29,920
Speaker 7: make it back and have a forty nine or Baltimore.

2614
02:17:29,920 --> 02:17:31,840
Speaker 1: I think that would give us the most compelling matchup.

2615
02:17:32,760 --> 02:17:35,200
Speaker 2: Well, that would Yeah, of course, it'd be a replay

2616
02:17:35,240 --> 02:17:38,560
Speaker 2: with John Harbaugh Jim Harriball eleven years ago. And let's

2617
02:17:38,600 --> 02:17:40,680
Speaker 2: face it there right now, they're the two best teams.

2618
02:17:40,680 --> 02:17:44,240
Speaker 2: And what's interesting is if passed his prologue in the

2619
02:17:44,280 --> 02:17:47,080
Speaker 2: last ten years, one of them is gonna make it.

2620
02:17:47,120 --> 02:17:51,199
Speaker 2: They're both number one seeds. And in the past ten years, okay,

2621
02:17:51,240 --> 02:17:54,280
Speaker 2: there have been twenty number one seeds. Ten have made

2622
02:17:54,280 --> 02:17:58,520
Speaker 2: it to the Super Bowl. Have both made it. Really

2623
02:17:58,560 --> 02:18:02,879
Speaker 2: almost never happened rarely. Yeah, right, but listen, you know,

2624
02:18:02,959 --> 02:18:04,680
Speaker 2: you get to that two week lull, and boy, you

2625
02:18:04,720 --> 02:18:07,920
Speaker 2: got a lot to look forward to, a lot of storylines.

2626
02:18:08,000 --> 02:18:11,160
Speaker 2: Let me count the ways, and that would be that

2627
02:18:11,240 --> 02:18:15,640
Speaker 2: would be Ali Frasier, you know, format, whatever you want

2628
02:18:15,680 --> 02:18:17,760
Speaker 2: to call it. It would be all of it wrapped

2629
02:18:17,760 --> 02:18:20,920
Speaker 2: into one. And I don't think anybody could complain about that,

2630
02:18:21,000 --> 02:18:24,440
Speaker 2: all right, Mark Ramsey, your thoughts.

2631
02:18:25,080 --> 02:18:29,760
Speaker 12: When the Texans became a football team many moons ago,

2632
02:18:29,959 --> 02:18:32,600
Speaker 12: I started pulling for them as my other team other

2633
02:18:32,640 --> 02:18:35,560
Speaker 12: than the Bears, because I just liked the whole thing

2634
02:18:36,040 --> 02:18:39,600
Speaker 12: of Texas having another team, not Dallas, and so I

2635
02:18:39,680 --> 02:18:41,640
Speaker 12: picked them to be my other team.

2636
02:18:41,879 --> 02:18:44,760
Speaker 1: So I went that Texans in.

2637
02:18:45,040 --> 02:18:48,720
Speaker 12: And then because of I have family in Detroit, and

2638
02:18:48,800 --> 02:18:51,119
Speaker 12: because of all that stuff, I direct the CEE Detroit

2639
02:18:51,280 --> 02:18:52,400
Speaker 12: and the Texans in.

2640
02:18:53,879 --> 02:18:55,920
Speaker 2: You know, I'd sign up for that too, man, because

2641
02:18:55,959 --> 02:19:01,720
Speaker 2: I think the world of CJ. Stroud. He's proving what

2642
02:19:01,920 --> 02:19:06,560
Speaker 2: can be done, and Demico Ryans is proving what can

2643
02:19:06,680 --> 02:19:11,040
Speaker 2: be done. They were eleven and thirty eight. Heading into

2644
02:19:11,120 --> 02:19:13,840
Speaker 2: the season, you had people in the media saying, that's

2645
02:19:13,879 --> 02:19:16,640
Speaker 2: a crappy job, it's designed to fail. Look what they

2646
02:19:16,640 --> 02:19:20,760
Speaker 2: have done. They've drafted well, they've coached well, they've performed well,

2647
02:19:21,440 --> 02:19:23,599
Speaker 2: and they've made believers.

2648
02:19:23,840 --> 02:19:26,600
Speaker 12: And maybe Golf get his second you know, shot at

2649
02:19:26,640 --> 02:19:27,480
Speaker 12: being at a Super Bowl.

2650
02:19:27,520 --> 02:19:30,280
Speaker 2: If that happened, well yeah, no, no, not fair enough.

2651
02:19:30,280 --> 02:19:31,720
Speaker 2: And I was going to get to that as well.

2652
02:19:32,200 --> 02:19:34,400
Speaker 2: When I look for storylines. One of the things Dick

2653
02:19:34,440 --> 02:19:36,680
Speaker 2: Shaff taught me, he said, look, my favorite sport is

2654
02:19:36,720 --> 02:19:38,840
Speaker 2: people who do I root for? I always root for

2655
02:19:38,879 --> 02:19:42,840
Speaker 2: the story and what we you know, so in any

2656
02:19:42,879 --> 02:19:46,720
Speaker 2: of these matchups, they would be compelling and they would

2657
02:19:46,720 --> 02:19:49,680
Speaker 2: have their own storyline. You know, take Kevins. You you

2658
02:19:49,760 --> 02:19:53,039
Speaker 2: got Lamar Jackson. Does he win the Super Bowl versus

2659
02:19:53,400 --> 02:19:57,840
Speaker 2: perhaps does Brock Purty win it? Does you know, Kyle

2660
02:19:57,879 --> 02:20:01,520
Speaker 2: Shanahan get to get the monkey off back, he gets closed.

2661
02:20:01,520 --> 02:20:03,600
Speaker 2: But they they never they never seem to do it right.

2662
02:20:03,879 --> 02:20:08,160
Speaker 2: So any of the matchups we've talked about. There's certainly

2663
02:20:08,160 --> 02:20:11,199
Speaker 2: gonna be what I would consider to be a good storyline.

2664
02:20:11,879 --> 02:20:14,519
Speaker 2: Take Shay, you know, Green Bay, that would be amazing.

2665
02:20:15,320 --> 02:20:18,760
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers leaves, he gets hurt. It's almost like Karma's

2666
02:20:18,800 --> 02:20:22,480
Speaker 2: kicked in. And Jordan Love who waited patiently for three years,

2667
02:20:23,320 --> 02:20:28,240
Speaker 2: it was an absolute stellar locker room guy learned worked

2668
02:20:29,160 --> 02:20:33,160
Speaker 2: and that would be amazing. That would be a terrific situation.

2669
02:20:33,640 --> 02:20:35,480
Speaker 2: And then of course you don't. Again, I don't have

2670
02:20:35,520 --> 02:20:38,280
Speaker 2: time to re go through all the matchups, but any

2671
02:20:38,280 --> 02:20:39,959
Speaker 2: of these, any of these would be fine with me.

2672
02:20:40,160 --> 02:20:42,840
Speaker 2: And you know we're all gonna watch anyway, even if

2673
02:20:42,840 --> 02:20:44,640
Speaker 2: they put the damn thing on Peacock. But I don't

2674
02:20:44,640 --> 02:20:46,240
Speaker 2: think they'll put it on Peacock for the Super Bowl,

2675
02:20:46,680 --> 02:20:50,680
Speaker 2: at least not this year. All right, coming up, we

2676
02:20:50,800 --> 02:20:54,280
Speaker 2: do have Chris Perffet's World of Soccer. We do cover

2677
02:20:54,320 --> 02:20:58,680
Speaker 2: it all on The Bernie Frattle Show. But first look,

2678
02:20:58,800 --> 02:21:01,160
Speaker 2: like I said, if you had one shot, one opportunity

2679
02:21:01,200 --> 02:21:03,360
Speaker 2: to seize everything you ever wanted in an update, would

2680
02:21:03,360 --> 02:21:06,120
Speaker 2: you capture it or just let it slip? His palms

2681
02:21:06,120 --> 02:21:07,840
Speaker 2: are not sweaty, his knees are not weak. His arms

2682
02:21:07,840 --> 02:21:10,600
Speaker 2: are not heavy. There's no vomit ont of sweater. Alrighty mom,

2683
02:21:10,680 --> 02:21:12,880
Speaker 2: spaghetti's of course, Kevin figures with the leaps.

2684
02:21:12,920 --> 02:21:14,720
Speaker 7: Now body has a spaghetti for dinner tonight? Though, that's

2685
02:21:14,720 --> 02:21:17,080
Speaker 7: a good idea. Yeah, I'm jealous.

2686
02:21:17,280 --> 02:21:17,840
Speaker 2: I'm Italian.

2687
02:21:17,840 --> 02:21:19,199
Speaker 1: It's so Lord exactly, you got.

2688
02:21:19,120 --> 02:21:21,160

Speaker 7: Kansas City Chiefs enjoying. There's spaghetti with a glass of

2690
02:21:24,840 --> 02:21:25,400
Speaker 7: wine tonight.

2691
02:21:25,440 --> 02:21:25,720
Speaker 1: They are.

2692
02:21:25,959 --> 02:21:30,080
Speaker 7: They won their wildcard playoff matchup at home against Miami

2693
02:21:30,120 --> 02:21:32,560
Speaker 7: twenty six to seven on Saturday, two hundred and sixty

2694
02:21:32,560 --> 02:21:35,120
Speaker 7: two yards passing for Patrick mahomes over one hundred and

02:21:35,200 --> 02:21:37,400
Speaker 7: forty yards on the ground for that Kansas City offense

2696
02:21:37,440 --> 02:21:40,560
Speaker 7: as well. Houston won its first playoff game since twenty nineteen.

2697
02:21:40,600 --> 02:21:43,879
Speaker 7: They dominated the Browns forty five to fourteen, Joe Flacco

Speaker 7: for the Texans.

2702
02:21:52,480 --> 02:21:52,840
Speaker 1: Eagles.

2703
02:21:52,840 --> 02:21:55,120
Speaker 7: Star receiver AJ Brown will miss Monday night's game in

02:22:39,040 --> 02:22:42,040
Speaker 2: every week we covered all and of course, you know

2721
02:22:42,480 --> 02:22:44,520
Speaker 2: they call it football around the world, we call it

2722
02:22:44,560 --> 02:22:46,480
Speaker 2: soccer here in the United States. It's just a few

2723
02:22:46,520 --> 02:22:48,640
Speaker 2: months away. We'll be back in the thick of it

2724
02:22:48,760 --> 02:22:51,520
Speaker 2: during the Paris Olympics. That's why we bring you at

2725
02:22:51,520 --> 02:23:00,000
Speaker 2: this time Chris Purfetts were the soccer the greatest schools.

2726
02:23:01,320 --> 02:23:05,720
Speaker 2: The thrilling finishes the international drum.

2727
02:23:11,120 --> 02:23:14,560
Speaker 4: It's all here in this report from the world of soccer.

2728
02:23:14,920 --> 02:23:17,119
Speaker 13: We hope everyone out there is able to stay warm

2729
02:23:17,200 --> 02:23:19,480
Speaker 13: and here in the world of soccer, the cold never

2730
02:23:19,520 --> 02:23:22,720
Speaker 13: really stops much of anything. We are now at the

2731
02:23:22,760 --> 02:23:24,879
Speaker 13: point in the Premier League season where there have been

2732
02:23:25,000 --> 02:23:29,280
Speaker 13: more games played than there are remaining, which means it

2733
02:23:29,360 --> 02:23:31,760
Speaker 13: starts to get really tight as the picture is developed,

2734
02:23:31,760 --> 02:23:35,600
Speaker 13: with Liverpool and aston Villa clawing and scraping and fighting

2735
02:23:35,920 --> 02:23:38,640
Speaker 13: at one and two in the Premier League table, Manchester

2736
02:23:38,680 --> 02:23:42,360
Speaker 13: City and Arsenal not far behind, although Manchester City will

2737
02:23:42,400 --> 02:23:45,680
Speaker 13: have to be without their young phenom Earling Holland for

2738
02:23:45,720 --> 02:23:47,160
Speaker 13: the rest of January.

2739
02:23:47,360 --> 02:23:48,560
Speaker 2: Was confirmed by the team.

2740
02:23:48,400 --> 02:23:50,800
Speaker 13: That he will probably be out after the game at

2741
02:23:50,800 --> 02:23:54,440
Speaker 13: Newcastle where he suffered a foot injury. But for me

2742
02:23:54,520 --> 02:23:57,960
Speaker 13: in January, this is the time of the Klausura, the

2743
02:23:58,040 --> 02:24:03,440
Speaker 13: second half of Liga MS, Mexico's top professional league of

2744
02:24:03,560 --> 02:24:08,359
Speaker 13: clubs soccer, taking on a whole new set of points,

2745
02:24:08,440 --> 02:24:12,080
Speaker 13: a whole new table, and time to try to crown

2746
02:24:12,160 --> 02:24:15,640
Speaker 13: another champion. As the second half of Mexican soccer kicks

2747
02:24:15,640 --> 02:24:19,080
Speaker 13: off and you know the title favorites once again, Club

2748
02:24:19,120 --> 02:24:23,320
Speaker 13: America in action. Hard to bet against them, but you

2749
02:24:23,400 --> 02:24:27,160
Speaker 13: could see Monterey Artigres be the ones to really crash

2750
02:24:27,200 --> 02:24:30,520
Speaker 13: that party, maybe even chievas and funny enough, if you

2751
02:24:30,800 --> 02:24:35,039
Speaker 13: notice the chievas Guadalajara out there in the Klausura here

2752
02:24:35,040 --> 02:24:37,920
Speaker 13: in twenty twenty four, you may notice that a number

2753
02:24:38,080 --> 02:24:39,359
Speaker 13: currently is missing.

2754
02:24:40,040 --> 02:24:40,600
Speaker 1: Fourteen.

2755
02:24:41,200 --> 02:24:43,560
Speaker 13: Now that number might not mean much to you if

2756
02:24:43,600 --> 02:24:47,560
Speaker 13: you're unfamiliar with the importance of that number to Guadalajara,

2757
02:24:47,560 --> 02:24:50,040
Speaker 13: and that's why we will explain, because that is the

2758
02:24:50,120 --> 02:24:55,640
Speaker 13: number worn by Chicaito Javier Hernandez, the phenom, the man

2759
02:24:55,720 --> 02:24:58,879
Speaker 13: who has scored the most goals out of anyone for

2760
02:24:58,959 --> 02:25:03,160
Speaker 13: the Nation of mex A, star across multiple continents, but

2761
02:25:03,240 --> 02:25:06,840
Speaker 13: none more so here in North America, where his adoring

2762
02:25:06,920 --> 02:25:09,760
Speaker 13: fans may lie. And at thirty five years old, an

2763
02:25:09,760 --> 02:25:13,520
Speaker 13: acl injury has led him to leave this club of

2764
02:25:13,680 --> 02:25:17,600
Speaker 13: Los Angeles Galaxy in the MLS, and reports are out

2765
02:25:17,600 --> 02:25:20,560
Speaker 13: there that he has said yes to her reunion to

2766
02:25:20,640 --> 02:25:24,640
Speaker 13: return to Shivas, to the club where it all began

2767
02:25:24,920 --> 02:25:29,840
Speaker 13: before his European departures, where he showed himself to be

2768
02:25:30,320 --> 02:25:33,080
Speaker 13: the phenomenal player, the man who can make all the

2769
02:25:33,120 --> 02:25:36,440
Speaker 13: magic happen. Now, Chievas have been able to get this

2770
02:25:36,560 --> 02:25:39,040
Speaker 13: thing together. Just yet, they have to figure out some

2771
02:25:39,680 --> 02:25:43,240
Speaker 13: stuff with their payroll, their finances. They probably have to

2772
02:25:43,280 --> 02:25:45,520
Speaker 13: make some room on their payroll by getting rid of

2773
02:25:45,560 --> 02:25:48,440
Speaker 13: a few players here. They're trying to figure that out

2774
02:25:48,480 --> 02:25:53,199
Speaker 13: here as the January transfer window is open. But rest assured,

2775
02:25:53,560 --> 02:25:57,320
Speaker 13: chiitar Rito is coming home one last time and his number,

2776
02:25:57,600 --> 02:26:01,080
Speaker 13: the famous number fourteen, is waiting for him when he

2777
02:26:01,120 --> 02:26:05,200
Speaker 13: gets there. And while we still are in North America,

2778
02:26:05,240 --> 02:26:08,959
Speaker 13: here in Major League Soccer the United States, a stumbling

2779
02:26:09,040 --> 02:26:13,320
Speaker 13: block has presented itself as MLS prepares in about a

2780
02:26:13,320 --> 02:26:16,400
Speaker 13: month or two to get back on the pitch, and

2781
02:26:16,440 --> 02:26:21,280
Speaker 13: it comes in the form of labor negotiations, as MLS

2782
02:26:21,400 --> 02:26:25,400
Speaker 13: might be seeing a work stoppage in the future, not

2783
02:26:25,520 --> 02:26:29,360
Speaker 13: with its players, but with its officials. Yes, a season

2784
02:26:29,400 --> 02:26:33,000
Speaker 13: that MLS has banked on to be the full Lionel

2785
02:26:33,080 --> 02:26:36,039
Speaker 13: Messi season, the one where they really push into Miami

2786
02:26:36,080 --> 02:26:40,519
Speaker 13: and hope they can see them win titles and compete

2787
02:26:40,840 --> 02:26:43,160
Speaker 13: and bring more and more stars and more and more

2788
02:26:43,200 --> 02:26:48,039
Speaker 13: eyeballs to MLS could be delayed. Came out this past

2789
02:26:48,080 --> 02:26:51,680
Speaker 13: week that negotiations over a new bargaining agreement here between

2790
02:26:51,720 --> 02:26:56,560
Speaker 13: the Professional Referees Organization and the Professional Soccer's Soccer Referees

2791
02:26:56,600 --> 02:27:00,840
Speaker 13: Association has not resulted in a new deal. Means, if

2792
02:27:01,600 --> 02:27:06,080
Speaker 13: by January fifteenth this isn't resolved, that there will probably

2793
02:27:06,120 --> 02:27:09,640
Speaker 13: be a work stoppage. Now this probably will result in

2794
02:27:09,720 --> 02:27:13,200
Speaker 13: something like MLS having to import referees from across the

2795
02:27:13,240 --> 02:27:18,119
Speaker 13: pond or from other associations, just certainly not here in America.

2796
02:27:18,280 --> 02:27:21,640
Speaker 13: That will have an impact on the level of play

2797
02:27:21,680 --> 02:27:25,000
Speaker 13: out there, and it could push back certain games. With

2798
02:27:25,040 --> 02:27:27,840
Speaker 13: the MLS season set to start here on February twenty first,

2799
02:27:27,840 --> 02:27:30,400
Speaker 13: between Inter Miami and Real Salt Lake.

2800
02:27:30,920 --> 02:27:32,640
Speaker 2: It is a problem and it's.

2801
02:27:32,480 --> 02:27:36,000
Speaker 13: One that is going to tick down very close to

2802
02:27:36,040 --> 02:27:39,720
Speaker 13: the deadline here. It's a thorny issue here as PRSA,

2803
02:27:39,800 --> 02:27:44,480
Speaker 13: which represents the referees for MLS and the other flights

2804
02:27:44,959 --> 02:27:49,440
Speaker 13: of the US Federation's club levels and pro which is

2805
02:27:50,120 --> 02:27:53,760
Speaker 13: liied with Major League Soccer. Should there be a lockout

2806
02:27:53,800 --> 02:27:57,320
Speaker 13: that we anticipate with the officials, well, things have gone

2807
02:27:57,320 --> 02:27:59,560
Speaker 13: sour the last few times these two have come to

2808
02:27:59,600 --> 02:28:04,080
Speaker 13: the table. Twenty fourteen and twenty nineteen, there were plenty

2809
02:28:04,120 --> 02:28:09,279
Speaker 13: of issues. The PSRA authorized and voted for a strike

2810
02:28:09,360 --> 02:28:12,680
Speaker 13: in twenty nineteen and in twenty fourteen they were locked

2811
02:28:12,720 --> 02:28:16,240
Speaker 13: out and negotiations resolved in about two to three weeks.

2812
02:28:16,520 --> 02:28:19,960
Speaker 13: Suffice to say, not looking promising and we could see

2813
02:28:20,160 --> 02:28:23,400
Speaker 13: replacement referees here when MLS tries to kick off at

2814
02:28:23,400 --> 02:28:26,680
Speaker 13: the end of February. But now, Bernie, we turn our

2815
02:28:26,720 --> 02:28:29,520
Speaker 13: attention to the favorite thing of the week. I will

2816
02:28:29,560 --> 02:28:32,400
Speaker 13: be watching and there is plenty of Premier League action,

2817
02:28:32,560 --> 02:28:36,760
Speaker 13: but who can really miss this? Here on Sunday we

2818
02:28:36,879 --> 02:28:44,080
Speaker 13: have at two pm Eastern time eleven am Pacific L Classico.

2819
02:28:44,520 --> 02:28:49,039
Speaker 13: Better yet L Classico with stakes. We are having Real

2820
02:28:49,120 --> 02:28:54,760
Speaker 13: Madrid taking on Barcelona for the Spanish Supercopa. Now it's

2821
02:28:54,800 --> 02:28:56,760
Speaker 13: not the Copa del Rey that's the bigger of the

2822
02:28:57,600 --> 02:29:02,120
Speaker 13: country's trophies, but Supercopa has been in place in a

2823
02:29:02,160 --> 02:29:05,480
Speaker 13: tournament that they've been playing since the start of the season. Barcelona,

2824
02:29:05,560 --> 02:29:08,800
Speaker 13: of course, came into this in a thriller over Osasuna

2825
02:29:08,840 --> 02:29:12,080
Speaker 13: in the semi finals. Here second half goals in there

2826
02:29:12,080 --> 02:29:16,920
Speaker 13: from Robert Lewandowskan Laminia mal and Barcelona's manager Zavi is

2827
02:29:16,959 --> 02:29:21,360
Speaker 13: insisting Barka can quote dominate Real Madrid. This is the

2828
02:29:21,400 --> 02:29:25,199
Speaker 13: first time the two sides have meetn since October twenty

2829
02:29:25,320 --> 02:29:29,320
Speaker 13: twenty three, where Jude Bellingham scored a brace sealing away

2830
02:29:29,360 --> 02:29:33,240
Speaker 13: a two to one win for Madrid, and right now

2831
02:29:33,280 --> 02:29:37,040
Speaker 13: Barcelona does trail Real Madrid in the La Liga table

2832
02:29:37,320 --> 02:29:41,440
Speaker 13: by a few points. This game will be played in Riad,

2833
02:29:41,879 --> 02:29:46,400
Speaker 13: Saudi Arabia at a La Wall Park at King Saud University. Fact,

2834
02:29:46,440 --> 02:29:49,280
Speaker 13: most of the later stages of the Super Copa have

2835
02:29:49,400 --> 02:29:52,680
Speaker 13: been in Saudi Arabia. Once again, the stamp of the

2836
02:29:52,720 --> 02:29:57,039
Speaker 13: saudis upon this sport being seen thorough and thorough.

2837
02:29:57,440 --> 02:29:58,080
Speaker 1: We also have the.

2838
02:29:58,040 --> 02:30:02,440
Speaker 13: Africa Cup of Nations kicking off here on Sunday as well,

2839
02:30:02,760 --> 02:30:05,879
Speaker 13: should be exciting to see. I've always enjoyed some good

2840
02:30:06,240 --> 02:30:11,600
Speaker 13: African soccer, especially from Egypt and the big Man Mohammed

2841
02:30:11,720 --> 02:30:15,160
Speaker 13: Salah just an electric electric player plays for Liverpool on

2842
02:30:15,200 --> 02:30:17,640
Speaker 13: the club side and will be away from his club

2843
02:30:17,680 --> 02:30:22,360
Speaker 13: here to represent his country. It's a fantastic time as always, Bernie,

2844
02:30:22,520 --> 02:30:24,520
Speaker 13: We'll see you next time on the World of Soccer.

2845
02:30:25,840 --> 02:30:29,039
Speaker 2: Not Robert Sala, Mohammed Sala and see you thought El

2846
02:30:29,120 --> 02:30:33,959
Speaker 2: Classico was spaghetti sauce. Nope, that's why we do Chris

2847
02:30:33,959 --> 02:30:38,000
Speaker 2: Purfett's World of Soccer coming up. We wrap up the

2848
02:30:38,000 --> 02:30:41,879
Speaker 2: show here on The Bernie Frattle Show, and as we

2849
02:30:42,000 --> 02:30:46,720
Speaker 2: head into the doubleheader Sunday later today and the doubleheader Monday,

2850
02:30:47,840 --> 02:30:50,880
Speaker 2: you might find it interesting to know how your favorite

2851
02:30:50,920 --> 02:30:57,440
Speaker 2: team did during the regular NFL season against other playoff teams.

2852
02:30:58,120 --> 02:31:02,119
Speaker 2: Not just their regular we're all season record, but how

2853
02:31:02,160 --> 02:31:06,320
Speaker 2: did they do against other playoff teams? And what was

2854
02:31:06,360 --> 02:31:09,920
Speaker 2: their net yardage plus or minus. What's gonna be very revealing,

2855
02:31:10,440 --> 02:31:13,840
Speaker 2: and maybe you'll see why I'm holding my nose and

2856
02:31:13,920 --> 02:31:17,600
Speaker 2: telling you that I believe the Philadelphia Eagles are gonna win,

2857
02:31:17,640 --> 02:31:20,000
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna I'm gonna discuss this with all the teams.

2858
02:31:20,040 --> 02:31:22,520
Speaker 2: And by the way, don't forget, The Bernie Frattle Show

2859
02:31:22,640 --> 02:31:26,000
Speaker 2: is back on these airwaves next Friday night at eleven

2864
02:31:40,440 --> 02:31:45,280
Speaker 2: up on the Bernie Frattle Show comedy Alive from the

2865
02:31:45,400 --> 02:31:50,480
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Foxsports Radio Tyrack dot Com studios here in

2866
02:31:50,720 --> 02:31:54,480
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. But before I go any further tonight, I

2867
02:31:54,520 --> 02:31:58,080
Speaker 2: want to make sure I recognize and thank my broadcast team.

2868
02:31:58,600 --> 02:32:02,720
Speaker 2: They've been with me since eleven Pacific time on Saturday night.

2869
02:32:03,200 --> 02:32:07,560
Speaker 2: Kevin Figures on the updates, Mark Ramsey, our technical producer,

2870
02:32:07,560 --> 02:32:10,720
Speaker 2: turning all the dials, keeping us glued together, and of

2871
02:32:10,720 --> 02:32:15,520
Speaker 2: course Shave Mogannguarde. Great job everybody, all filling our roles,

2872
02:32:15,560 --> 02:32:19,119
Speaker 2: coming together as a team, and an excellent input tonight

2873
02:32:19,160 --> 02:32:21,400
Speaker 2: on Brand New Fool What My Name? Had some interesting

2874
02:32:21,400 --> 02:32:26,400
Speaker 2: discussions on the Super Bowl as well as the Peacock game.

2875
02:32:26,560 --> 02:32:30,360
Speaker 2: So I'll always appreciate the thoughts and you know, some

2876
02:32:30,360 --> 02:32:33,400
Speaker 2: sometimes healthy disagreements, but when you put it all together,

2877
02:32:33,400 --> 02:32:37,560
Speaker 2: it's our team and appreciate everybody's efforts. All right. So

2878
02:32:38,360 --> 02:32:40,560
Speaker 2: you've heard my thoughts about the Sunday games and the

2879
02:32:40,600 --> 02:32:43,120
Speaker 2: Monday games, and I know that I probably raised a

2880
02:32:43,160 --> 02:32:47,520
Speaker 2: lot of eyebrows when I felt actually maybe not confident,

2881
02:32:47,560 --> 02:32:50,520
Speaker 2: but I do believe that the Philadelphia Eagles will beat

2882
02:32:51,200 --> 02:32:54,800
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay on Monday. This is something you might want

2883
02:32:54,840 --> 02:32:58,240
Speaker 2: to know because before you back a team during wild

2884
02:32:58,320 --> 02:33:02,680
Speaker 2: card weekend, it might serve you well to examine each

2885
02:33:02,720 --> 02:33:08,520
Speaker 2: team's performance records during the season against fellow playoff teams.

2886
02:33:09,640 --> 02:33:14,800
Speaker 2: And for instance, it's not close. The Tampa Bay Bucks

2887
02:33:14,840 --> 02:33:18,320
Speaker 2: have the worst record and I'm going to include net

2888
02:33:18,360 --> 02:33:23,840
Speaker 2: yards here against playoff teams. Tampa Bay played six playoff

2889
02:33:23,879 --> 02:33:26,279
Speaker 2: teams during the regular season. They were one to five

2890
02:33:27,160 --> 02:33:32,080
Speaker 2: straight up, and their net yards were negative seven hundred

2891
02:33:32,080 --> 02:33:34,320
Speaker 2: and eighteen, which means they allowed seven hundred and eighteen

2892
02:33:34,320 --> 02:33:39,480
Speaker 2: more yards then they gained versus their opponents. Now they've

2893
02:33:39,520 --> 02:33:42,039
Speaker 2: faced the Philadelphia Eagles, and I'm not mixed up about

2894
02:33:42,040 --> 02:33:45,120
Speaker 2: how the Eagles have looked the last five weeks, but

2895
02:33:45,560 --> 02:33:47,800
Speaker 2: if you look at the body of work for their season,

2896
02:33:48,480 --> 02:33:51,280
Speaker 2: they were still six and two against playoff teams. So

2897
02:33:51,320 --> 02:33:53,840
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay was one to five, the Eagles were six

2898
02:33:53,879 --> 02:33:57,240
Speaker 2: and two. In the Beagles point differentially differential. They're not

2899
02:33:57,320 --> 02:34:02,120
Speaker 2: setting records, but they were plus two. Now, believe me,

2900
02:34:02,200 --> 02:34:04,400
Speaker 2: this means something. The Miami Dolphins were one and five

2901
02:34:04,400 --> 02:34:08,959
Speaker 2: against playoff teams this year. Their negative their their net

2902
02:34:09,040 --> 02:34:11,640
Speaker 2: yards were negative three eighty five. You see where I'm

2903
02:34:11,680 --> 02:34:17,320
Speaker 2: going with this. So you can't be that dismissive of this.

2904
02:34:17,400 --> 02:34:20,400
Speaker 2: And of course Kansas City, believe it or not, they

2905
02:34:20,400 --> 02:34:22,720
Speaker 2: weren't great against playoff teams either this year, but they

2906
02:34:22,720 --> 02:34:27,480
Speaker 2: were better than Tampa Bay and they were home. Okay,

2907
02:34:27,560 --> 02:34:31,280
Speaker 2: So you take a look at these things and you

2908
02:34:31,360 --> 02:34:33,000
Speaker 2: have a little bit more of an objective. You take

2909
02:34:33,040 --> 02:34:36,280
Speaker 2: to Houston, Texans. Would you believe it? They were four

2910
02:34:36,280 --> 02:34:40,800
Speaker 2: and two against playoff teams this year and their yards

2911
02:34:40,840 --> 02:34:44,280
Speaker 2: differential was plus four hundred and eighty six. That's impressive. Now,

2912
02:34:44,280 --> 02:34:46,840
Speaker 2: Cleveland was also four and three against playoff teams, the

2913
02:34:46,959 --> 02:34:50,720
Speaker 2: yard differential was slightly less, something to be said for that.

2914
02:34:51,400 --> 02:34:53,840
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at Green Bay Dallas. Green Bay

2915
02:34:53,920 --> 02:34:57,800
Speaker 2: was three and three straight up against playoffs teams this season.

2916
02:34:58,040 --> 02:35:02,680
Speaker 2: Their yardst yards total was negative eighty, which means they

2917
02:35:02,680 --> 02:35:05,640
Speaker 2: gave up eighty more yards than they got. But the

2918
02:35:05,720 --> 02:35:08,920
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys, now this is bothersome. If you're a Cowboys fan,

2919
02:35:10,000 --> 02:35:12,440
Speaker 2: which leads you to believe that plus seven is in play,

2920
02:35:12,520 --> 02:35:15,080
Speaker 2: I certainly wouldn't lay it. Cowboys were only three and

2921
02:35:15,120 --> 02:35:18,080
Speaker 2: four straight up against playoff teams in twenty twenty three,

2922
02:35:18,200 --> 02:35:22,920
Speaker 2: and their yard differential was negative one sixty one strange

2923
02:35:23,560 --> 02:35:27,560
Speaker 2: but true. Yes it's true. Now, how about the Lions

2924
02:35:27,560 --> 02:35:30,240
Speaker 2: and Rams. You wonder why I'm so confident the Lions

2925
02:35:30,240 --> 02:35:33,360
Speaker 2: are gonna win. Well, they were three and three against

2926
02:35:33,560 --> 02:35:37,039
Speaker 2: playoff teams this year, but that Dallas game was a debacle.

2927
02:35:37,080 --> 02:35:41,240
Speaker 2: They got robbed on that stupid Brad Allen missed procedure.

2928
02:35:41,920 --> 02:35:45,520
Speaker 2: But the Lions managed to gain net plus three hundred

2929
02:35:45,520 --> 02:35:48,200
Speaker 2: and nine yards against the sixty playoff teams they played

2930
02:35:48,200 --> 02:35:51,560
Speaker 2: me while the Rams they had a little tougher schedule.

2931
02:35:51,640 --> 02:35:54,760
Speaker 2: They actually played eight playoff teams in twenty twenty three,

2932
02:35:55,520 --> 02:35:57,640
Speaker 2: but they were only two and six against those playoff

2933
02:35:57,640 --> 02:36:01,920
Speaker 2: teams and their net yard differential was minus four fifty.

2934
02:36:02,520 --> 02:36:08,440
Speaker 2: That's a pretty big delta. Pittsburgh Buffalo, Well, this one

2935
02:36:08,480 --> 02:36:11,119
Speaker 2: does not bode well for the Steelers at all. Although

2936
02:36:11,160 --> 02:36:13,840
Speaker 2: they were five and three straight up against playoff teams,

2937
02:36:14,320 --> 02:36:19,000
Speaker 2: their net yard deferential was net negative six sixty one.

2938
02:36:19,120 --> 02:36:22,360
Speaker 2: And then, of course Buffalo, they were five and one

2939
02:36:22,440 --> 02:36:25,680
Speaker 2: straight up against playoff teams in twenty twenty three. Their

2940
02:36:25,720 --> 02:36:30,800
Speaker 2: net yard differential plus six oh eight, which leads all

2941
02:36:31,000 --> 02:36:34,640
Speaker 2: NFL teams Buffalo, including the Baltimore Ravens, who were actually

2942
02:36:34,680 --> 02:36:37,320
Speaker 2: six and three against playoff teams they're at yards were

2943
02:36:37,320 --> 02:36:40,160
Speaker 2: plus two ninety six. I checked that. I stand corrected.

2944
02:36:40,360 --> 02:36:44,040
Speaker 2: The Niners were five and three. They're plus seven to

2945
02:36:44,120 --> 02:36:48,480
Speaker 2: ten in net yardage differential. Note these things they matter.

2946
02:36:48,760 --> 02:36:51,240
Speaker 2: They have a way of sneaking up on you. These

2947
02:36:51,240 --> 02:36:55,280
Speaker 2: are cumulative stats over four months, and that's typically what

2948
02:36:55,360 --> 02:36:57,200
Speaker 2: your weakness is going to show up in the playoffs,

2949
02:36:57,240 --> 02:36:59,440
Speaker 2: and your strength is going to show up. So I'm

2950
02:36:59,440 --> 02:37:02,680
Speaker 2: sticking to my guns. Yeah, the pressure's on Dallas. This

2951
02:37:02,800 --> 02:37:04,400
Speaker 2: is the type of game they'll win. They'll screw up

2952
02:37:04,440 --> 02:37:07,080
Speaker 2: the next one. The pressures on Detroit not nearly as

2953
02:37:07,160 --> 02:37:09,800
Speaker 2: much as people think Dan Campbelly getting fired. I like

2954
02:37:09,840 --> 02:37:11,640
Speaker 2: the Lions to win. I'm not lay into three, but

2955
02:37:11,680 --> 02:37:14,000
Speaker 2: I will think they'll win. I grab him on the

2956
02:37:14,000 --> 02:37:16,959
Speaker 2: money line, and then, of course I do believe Philadelphia

2957
02:37:16,959 --> 02:37:18,800
Speaker 2: will figure it out. They'll find a way. Monday Night

2958
02:37:18,800 --> 02:37:22,279
Speaker 2: in Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay could only score nine points

2959
02:37:22,360 --> 02:37:26,240
Speaker 2: last week against the Carolina Panthers and Baker mayfields hurt. Finally,

2960
02:37:26,320 --> 02:37:29,520
Speaker 2: speaking of that game, I think the safest bet of

2961
02:37:29,520 --> 02:37:32,600
Speaker 2: the week is the under Monday Night of forty three

2962
02:37:32,640 --> 02:37:36,720
Speaker 2: and a half between the Eagles and Buccaneers. Why Mayfield's

2963
02:37:36,760 --> 02:37:41,520
Speaker 2: not healthy, Baker neither is Jalen Hurts. There are major

2964
02:37:41,560 --> 02:37:47,080
Speaker 2: offensive concerns for the Eagles. AJ Brown's not gonna play,

2965
02:37:47,160 --> 02:37:49,760
Speaker 2: and both teams are gonna lean heavily on the run,

2966
02:37:50,240 --> 02:37:52,680
Speaker 2: and the strength of the Buccaneers defense is upfront against

2967
02:37:52,680 --> 02:37:55,959
Speaker 2: the run. And both teams, I expect, are gonna be methodical.

2968
02:37:56,000 --> 02:37:59,400
Speaker 2: This feels like a seventeen to thirteen type game. I

2969
02:37:59,400 --> 02:38:01,840
Speaker 2: think it's a same I bet that type Monday night

2970
02:38:01,840 --> 02:38:06,920
Speaker 2: game between the Eagles and the Tampa Bay Bucks. Go under.

2971
02:38:07,440 --> 02:38:09,800
Speaker 2: Can't wait for the doubleheader later today and of course

2972
02:38:09,800 --> 02:38:13,640
Speaker 2: the doubleheader Monday. As the NFL Playoff tournament is here,

2973
02:38:13,800 --> 02:38:16,000
Speaker 2: we hope to wrap it up in fine fashion. It's

2974
02:38:16,000 --> 02:38:17,640
Speaker 2: gonna do it for the Bernie Fratterers show see you

2975
02:38:17,640 --> 02:38:19,720
Speaker 2: next Friday night at eleven pm. In the meantime, keep

2976
02:38:19,760 --> 02:38:22,760
Speaker 2: it locked right here. The Great Andy Furman on Fox
