1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What's up, party people, 2 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 1: It's me Jason McIntyre Straight Fire for Tuesday, September twenty one. 3 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,080 Speaker 1: I'm kind of excited to start the pod today with 4 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: a Detroit Lions victory over the Packers. But alas Jared 5 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: Goff turned into Jared Goff in the second half and 6 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: the Packers turned it on and the route was on 7 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: Packers role. Not a huge surprise, I gotta be honest, 8 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: I was not overly impressed with Green Bay. Yeah, they 9 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: turned it on in the second half, but what you 10 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 1: saw in the first half was just like a team 11 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: going through the motions the second straight game, folks. Packers 12 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: are not a thirteen and three team like last year. Uh, 13 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: they're the class of that awful division that they're in 14 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: the North. Um, but overall, I'm not super impressed with 15 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. I want to thank Robert Tonyan, 16 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: the lumbering tight end who won me a fantasy matchup. 17 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: I'm now two and oh in my Big Money league 18 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: thanks to Robert Tonyan. Uh catching a big pass that 19 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: was fun and um, if you follow me on the Graham, 20 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: I put up some props just from Monday night football 21 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: just for fun or as the kids like to shay 22 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: ships and giggles. And I bet on DeAndre Swift over 23 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,279 Speaker 1: receiving yards. You know, he used a ton against San Franz. 24 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: Green Bay likes to pressure the linebackers are on great. 25 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 1: Swift through fifty five minutes had one catch for eleven yards, 26 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,279 Speaker 1: So I'm like, what a waste? Didn't hit the catches, 27 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: didn't hit the yards. And on the final drive, all 28 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: Jared Goff does his look at Swift and he went 29 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,839 Speaker 1: over on yards and missed it by half for receiving 30 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 1: for receptions, so a little fun drama at the end, 31 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: packers covered, and I think that does it for Week 32 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 1: two in the NFL. A couple of interesting topics bubble 33 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: up here on Tuesday. UM. I want to start, Obviously, 34 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: quarterbacks matter the most. Sorry, we can't start with Richard 35 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: Sherman rumors. I know people are way into Richard Sherman 36 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: returning after Um, does anybody remember what happened to Richard 37 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: Sherman this summer? I think he showed up at his 38 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: uh baby mama's house, heavily inebriated, banged down a door. 39 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: Police recalled that got ugly. Um. There was reports that 40 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: Sherman was not in a good place mentally and unstable 41 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: to say the least. And now he's gonna get back 42 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: in the league because everybody needs quarterback help, especially the Niners. Um, 43 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: but we're not starting there. I thought. I think the 44 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz injury looms large. Sprained both ankles on that 45 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: Aaron donald sack. Very uncharacteristic to sprain both ankles. But 46 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: when when the trade went down, it was quite obvious, 47 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: like this guy's injury history is rich, dating back to college, 48 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: and there are some numbers baked into the deal. If 49 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: he plays a certain amount of UH, if he starts 50 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: a certain amount of games, or there's a certain amount 51 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: of passes, that draft pick goes up and it becomes better. Well, 52 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: if he's got to sit out some time here, that's 53 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: just the first injury. And that all defensive line is awful. 54 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: I saw said that he had been hit twenty one 55 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 1: times and sacked seven among the league leaders in both UH. 56 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 1: It's it's ugly and they're not getting help anytime soon. Folks. Um, 57 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: that offensive line is bad. Carson Wentz and the Colts 58 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 1: look awful. They are owing to traveling to nash Vegas 59 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: for a date with the Tennessee Titans. I don't want 60 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: to say that I would be betting on the Titans 61 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: again this week after they covered for me, but against 62 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: Jacob Eason, even this awful Tennessee defense can make a 63 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: play or two. Um, it's not a great game this weekend. 64 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: A lot of backup quarterbacks too. It doesn't look like 65 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: two was gonna go. So Jacoby bris said will be 66 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: the guy unless something happens with Cam Newton here and 67 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: Shorter or I. I don't know. I still think Deshaun 68 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: Watson's a move, but um, legal implications. By the way, 69 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: A lot of you did not like that take that 70 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: I would call Deshaun Watson first. Uh yeah, I heard 71 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: about it. Yeah shocking. You guys reached out to me 72 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: over social media and let me know that that was 73 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: a bad take. Thank you. I always appreciate the feedback. 74 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: Love it, um, And I don't know if I should 75 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: mention the Thursday night game. Can I just um, it's 76 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: gonna be Carolina undefeated and the Houston Texans with Davis 77 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: Mills the rookie under center. Rob g excitement level on 78 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 1: a zero to ten Thursday night, Davis Mills against Sam Donald. 79 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: I'm actually very excited for that game because you know, 80 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: they just give me an opportunity to pile on your jets. 81 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 1: You know, Sam Donald was left for dead out in 82 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: the gutter in the streets of New York. People were, 83 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 1: you know, throwing things at him, leaving dollar bills in 84 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,119 Speaker 1: the in the plastic cup that he had next to him. 85 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: And then lo and behold. Had nothing to do with 86 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: Sam Donald, had nothing to do with the former USC 87 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: Heisman candidate quarterback, had everything to do with that dumpster 88 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: fire that is the New York Gets franchise. As soon 89 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: as Sam Donald leaves gang, he looks pretty good again. 90 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: I mean, we had Young Green clears up. We had 91 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: Djushman Zada on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio 92 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: on Monday night, Shameless Plug, and he said, you know, a 93 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: a friend of the show with this of the show 94 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: as well, he's expecting him to become a Pro Bowl quarterback. 95 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: Maybe not this year, maybe not next year, but the 96 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 1: next couple of years. Sam Donald, where were you what 97 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: I made that take? In August? You look, you could 98 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 1: look at the schedule whus and see that Donald and 99 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: Carolina was coming the schedule. Zz. They opened, by the way, 100 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: the Carolina defense, Rob, which we talked about, opened with 101 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: probably two of the easiest layups you could Zack Wilson 102 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 1: in his first ever game and Jamis Winston, who we 103 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 1: know is a total mirage and the five td s 104 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: in a D forty eight yards passing was a mirage. Okay, 105 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: and now they faced Davis Mills. So two rookies in 106 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: three games for Sam Donald and the Carolina defense. I'm 107 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: happy for Sam. We knew this was gonna happen. He's 108 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: got a better roast seed than the Jets in Joe Brady. 109 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 1: He's got better weapons than the Jets, and he's got 110 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: a better head coach based on what we know since 111 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 1: uh Matt Rules done more than Robert Sala, who's never 112 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: been a head coach. So I don't want to hear 113 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: this Jets slander. Do I need to remind you Rob 114 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: that the Las Vegas Raiders started two and all last year? 115 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: How did that work out for you? Guys? Why are 116 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: you bringing up old stuff? Why are you bringing up 117 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: old stuff? We're trying to congratulate and shower Sam Donald 118 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,679 Speaker 1: with praise because he's got nothing but negativity and mono 119 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: the last two years, and so now I want to 120 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: let people know, Hey, Sam Donald, little legit, he can 121 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: play a little bit. And all he needed was a 122 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: change of scenery and that change of scenery was literally 123 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: anywhere other than the New York Jets. Yeah, who who? 124 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: Who do? Who would you bet on? Right now? The 125 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: Jets played the Giants um both teams O and two. 126 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: Vanilla Vick A k a uh Danny Dimes looks very bad. 127 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: Although I have a great stat for you. I'm gonna 128 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: have this on Fox Sports. Vanilla Vick has more rushing 129 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: yards this season than Austin Ekeler, Ezekiel Elliott, Sae Kwon 130 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: Barkley and Jonathan Taylor. I believe those four guys are 131 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: all first round picks in Fantasy Vanilla Vick, which I 132 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: can't get enough of that Nick. If you couldn't tell, 133 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: I said three times in about a minute, I mean 134 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: he can run the football. Kenny Pass probably not um 135 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: Falcons Giants this week, but I honestly think you probably 136 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: have to favor the Jets and a Neutrals like what 137 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: I'm kidding, No, you can't. That's aren't good enough to 138 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: be favorite over anybody.

Two quick stories I 143 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: want to bring up okay and I don't want to 144 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: pat myself on the back and injure my shoulder. But 145 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: I told you in the off season Josh Allen was 146 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: last year the real Josh Allen or was it an 147 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: outlier because the first two years was like completions blah 148 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: blah blah. Well, two games in Josh Allen fifty completions. 149 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: This is what's scary. Five point three yards per attempt. 150 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: That's disgusting. He's taken four sacks and thrown three touchdowns. 151 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: He has cannot sniff the top twenty in qb R 152 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: or QB rating and Pro Football Focus. I don't think 153 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: you're ready for this. Pro Football Focus has currently ranked 154 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: Josh Allen as the twight graded out quarterback in the 155 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: league through two weeks. He is currently behind Mattie Ice, Taylor, 156 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: Heineke a k A, Matt Sarason, Jimmy G, Joe Burrow, 157 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, like that's how bad Josh Allen has been. Guys. 158 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: I'm not making this up. This is Pro Football Focus 159 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 1: saying whether it's a clean pocket, whether it's under pressure. 160 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: Josh Allen is basically vomiting all over himself in the 161 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 1: at this year. And guess who comes into town this weekend. 162 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 1: Washington football team. And I'm telling you right now, Washington 163 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: is a nine and a half point dog. That line 164 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: will move towards Washington. Um. Washington can do what Pittsburgh did, 165 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: rush four, get to the quarterback and sit back in 166 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: the zone. Now, they don't have as good of a 167 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: secondary as Pittsburgh had, but their pass rush is in 168 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: the in the same galaxy as t J. Watt and company. 169 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: And I think Washington can give them fits. Now. I 170 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: don't know if Taylor Heineken can get across the finish line, 171 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: but I really like Washington and keep that close nine 172 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: and a half, Rob g. Both of the head coaches 173 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: in this matchup coach together in Carolina, Okay, they know 174 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 1: each other well. This will be a close game. It 175 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 1: will be a low scoring game. I bet on the total. UM. 176 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: I think Sunday night, early Monday morning, when it came out, 177 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: it was at forty seven. I saw forty six and 178 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: a half. I think it's gonna come down even more. 179 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: The last two times these coaches met, when Varro was 180 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 1: in Carolina and McDermott was in Buffalo final score nine three. Like, 181 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: I'm just telling this will be a low scoring, close game. 182 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: And and I think we're gonna start to have concerns 183 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: about Josh Allen. Remember all these guys who read about 184 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: gambling and odds could not get over Josh Allen's love 185 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: for m v P. This guy was, I don't know, 186 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: I think a top three candidate with like Mahomes and 187 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: who is it, Mahomes Brady Josh Allen. I think he 188 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: was ahead of Lamar Jackson for m v P. And 189 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: he's always done so far as stink up the joint. Now, 190 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: I don't want Bill's mafia coming after me, but let's 191 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: be realistic, folks. So far, through two games, Josh Allen 192 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: looks like the rookie second year Josh Allen, not the 193 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: third year stud who had Stefon Diggs um. But I 194 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: do think the biggest NFL story today are all these 195 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: Tom Brady hot takes. As someone who spent six years 196 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: doing a radio show. You guys know the drill. It's 197 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: called play the hits. Right after a crappy Monday night 198 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: football game. What are people going to talk about? They're 199 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: not talking about Aaron Rodgers. Um, I think I talked 200 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: about the meme on this show. Aaron Rodgers looks like 201 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: he steals catalytic converters. He's got to clean up that 202 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: beard and long hair. It just is not a good 203 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: look for him. And nobody's gonna talk about Jared Goff 204 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,959 Speaker 1: fumbles interception, Uh, Aaron Jones catching some passes like that 205 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: was a boring crap game. They are going to talk 206 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: about Tom Brady and I gotta give it up to 207 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: Dan shaughnessy. Has he come on the spot, by the way, 208 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,719 Speaker 1: is not because he used to come on my radio show. 209 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: Interesting guy. He'll say some outland is really incendiary ship 210 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: and he just doesn't care. He's one of these old 211 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: school guys. His column, Tom Brady is better at forty 212 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: four than he was at twenty four, and it's amazing. 213 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: Now I do want to say when I read is 214 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: better at forty four than twenty four, I thought it 215 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: might have been about me because I will keep it 216 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 1: a percent with you right now. I am better now 217 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: than I was in my twenties at pretty much everything, 218 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,439 Speaker 1: but not probably not video games because I don't play 219 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: as much. But from an athletic perspective, in my early twenties, 220 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: all I did was go out and drink. I was like, 221 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: you know, boozing it up heavily in New York City, 222 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: trying to um, you know, make things happen, chasing the 223 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: skirt around as they say, like I was in No Show. 224 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 1: I wasn't like super healthy, Like honestly, I was going 225 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 1: out Thursday. I was going out Saturday, and then I 226 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: would try to go out Tuesday as well, Like you 227 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: can't be healthy going out three nights a week. I 228 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: eat way healthier now than I did then. And frankly, 229 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm pretty sure I'm a better basketball player 230 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,839 Speaker 1: now than I was then because back then, I wasn't 231 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: like playing basketball daily. I would just play, Oh we're 232 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: gonna play pick up? Sure, yeah, I'll go. You don't 233 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: like warm up, you just go out and play. Now 234 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: I'm like getting shots up daily, you know, dribbling around 235 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: with my kids, re bounding, shoot all that stuff. I am, 236 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: I think a better human than I am now in 237 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: my forties than I was in my twenties. You're smarter, 238 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: you're older, you're wiser. Like, should we really be surprised 239 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,559 Speaker 1: that Tom Brady is better now than he was in 240 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: his twenties? He was, people forget Tom Brady started as 241 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 1: a game manager when he took over for Drew Bledsoe. 242 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: For like two seasons he was a game manager. Tom 243 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: Brady really didn't make the jump, and Rob, I think 244 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 1: you'd agree with me. He did not make the jump 245 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: to superstar quarterback until he got Randy Moss. Right, I'm 246 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: gonna read you tom Brady's touchdown passes fifteen starts, eighteen touchdowns, 247 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: sixteen starts, sixteen starts, twenty three, sixty eight touchdowns, sixteen, sixteen, 248 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: twenty four, and then Randy Moss arrived sixteen starts, fifty touchdowns, 249 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: hundred yards passing, which are just astronomical numbers. Now, that 250 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: did set forth a chain of events where the league 251 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: really went past happy Peyton Manning of course going to 252 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: Denver throwing fifty five touchdowns. Um, but you know Brady 253 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: had a five thousand yards season in thirty nine touchdowns. 254 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: But since that fifty yard touchdown season, he never threw 255 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: for forty again until last year in Tampa, when he 256 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: had loaded absolutely sick receiving cores. Good running back group 257 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: tight ends Brady through two games, nine touchdowns. I'm decent 258 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: at math, so he would be on pace for seventy 259 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: two touchdowns if this continues. Um, probably not gonna happen, 260 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: very unlikely to happen. But I can say without a 261 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: shadow of a doubt that, yeah, Tom Brady is a 262 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: better quarterback now than he was in his twenties. And 263 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess a lot of people could possibly 264 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: go that out. Maybe we'll see more guys better in 265 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: their forties than in their twenties. But you've really got 266 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: to make a concentrated effort to be good. Like Rob, 267 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I mean, I'm assuming 268 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: your wife's cooking a lot like when you were in 269 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: your twenties, single guy, Like you're probably eating like crap. 270 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: You didn't have your wife making dinner for you or 271 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: you cooking for the family, right, I mean, you're just 272 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: shoveling down whatever you can in your throat because you're 273 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: brocass in your twenties. I mean, honestly, guys, I would 274 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: I was working in a newspaper in my twenties, making 275 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: like I don't know, like twenty five dollars a year. 276 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: It's pathetic. I would go home. I'd be like, oh, 277 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: I guess I'll have mac and cheese. And I would have, 278 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: honestly open a box of Kraft mac and cheese, make it, 279 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: eat the box, and that was my dinner. Like that's 280 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: not healthy. And then the next time I go out 281 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: and drink, and then a day I wasn't going out 282 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: to dinner. I wasn't eating healthy. Like Tom Brady's doing 283 00:15:55,240 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: everything right. Everything he looks young of horse. Tom Brady 284 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: is a better quarterback now than he was when he 285 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: was twenty four. I don't know why that's such a 286 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: hot take, but you know what, Rob, it feels like 287 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: a smart take from Dan Shaughnessy. I actually like it. 288 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 289 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox sports 290 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: Radio dot com and within the I Heart Radio app 291 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: search f s R to listen live. You know, it 292 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: sounds kind of hot taking when you hear it on 293 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: its surface, Oh, he's better at forty four, and until 294 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: you remember that twenty four was his first year as 295 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: a start in the NFL. There now, he started fifteen games. 296 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: That's fourteen games because he came in in the second 297 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: week for an injured Drouplets. So he threw for under 298 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: two yards half of those games. Okay, the first three 299 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: games that he played, no touchdowns. The last five games 300 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: of the regular season two touchdowns, five interceptions. So it's 301 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: not like you're really comparing apples to oranges, because it 302 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: is a really low bar for him to cross age. 303 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: Tom Brady was not good. I don't care that he 304 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 1: wants Super Bowl. He was not a good quarterback. He 305 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 1: was a glorified game manager who got lucky with some 306 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: suspect calls, including the tuck rule, and he benefited from 307 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: having the the Rams defensive play calls. You know, I 308 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: know people don't want to say that out loud, but 309 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,439 Speaker 1: it's true. If you ask anybody on that Rams Greatest 310 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: Show on turf Roster, they'll tell you that the New 311 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: England Patriots cheated their way to the Super Bowl. But 312 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 1: you know, I just gotta keep on keeping to keep 313 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 1: a buck. But um, let me just say this about 314 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,199 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Now, Dan Shaughnessy, you mentioned, had a very 315 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 1: good column about it. Dan's a great guy, and he's 316 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: not the only one who's putting out commentary like this. 317 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: ESPN does a weekly Overreaction column that they put out 318 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: on every Monday following the Sunday games, and they asked 319 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: or they put this bold take out there, and they 320 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,199 Speaker 1: say his overreaction under reaction, So you might say, hey, 321 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: is Derek Carr a m VP candidate? Overreaction? Under reaction 322 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: whatever they put out for the top of a Buccaneers 323 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,959 Speaker 1: Tom Brady is going to have the greatest season of 324 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: his career, not an overreaction, And they're going to explain 325 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: why that He's currently on pace to shatter the touchdown record, 326 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: to throw for over five thousand yards. It's the most 327 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: loaded roster he's ever had. And that's all true, But 328 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: to your point, nowadays, everybody's breaking touch touchdown and passing records. 329 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 1: The numbers are more inflated than they have ever been. 330 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 1: If you want to compare Tom Brady and the number 331 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: he's putting up versus Peyton Manny did when he had 332 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: the fifty five touchdown passes or Dan Marino back in 333 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: the day, it's not even close. The way the game 334 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: is played today, the way it's officiated, the way that 335 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 1: it's coached is completely different. So anytime I hear these, 336 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: you know this is gonna be the greatest offensive season ever. 337 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: You know, look at what this guy is doing. Look 338 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: at what this guy is doing. Well, yeah, you gotta 339 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 1: put some context behind it. That's number one. Number two. 340 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: For all the talk about how great Tom Brady is 341 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: and how fantastic he's been in this stretch, it's not 342 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: to say he's been played bad. He's played fine. But 343 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 1: if you ever wanted, I would say a little better 344 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: than five. Let me, let me I got some numbers 345 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: that will change your perspective. Okay, if you just look 346 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: at who Tom Brady faced to go back to last 347 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: year when he played the good teams, the team's over 348 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: five hundred. You know what his touchdown interception ratio was. 349 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: I do not fourteen touchdowns, nine interceptions. Okay, when Tom 350 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 1: Brady plays the also rants anyone under five hundred, twenty 351 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: six touchdowns, three picks. But it gets worse. Okay, if 352 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 1: you take out the Raiders and the Bears, who both 353 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: finished exactly at eight and eight. Neither one of those 354 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: teams was any good. But if you say, okay, it's 355 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,719 Speaker 1: only got to be teams that were above five hundred. 356 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: What's Tom Brady doing that? Nine touchdowns, nine picks s 357 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: and completion percentage. Tom Brady is fooling y'all. Apologies to 358 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: Dan Shawn to See, apologies to whoever wrote the city 359 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: sp And I'm sure that they're smart fellas, and I'm 360 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,439 Speaker 1: sure that they have good people, and they've got good families, 361 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: everything like that. But if we don't look at things 362 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: with the magnified class, if we don't take things in context, 363 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna be left with these super hot takes that 364 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: as soon as anybody does any kind of digging, as 365 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: soon as anybody questions it even a little bit, you 366 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 1: see that it's a house of cars waiting to fall over. Okay, 367 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: hold on, let me chat. I'll push back. So if 368 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: you look at leaving New England arriving in Tampa, new coach, 369 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: new system, new city, after spending twenty years in New England, 370 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: tossing COVID in no offseason and no preseason, would you 371 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 1: not argue what he's what he did last year was 372 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: borderline incredible at the age of forty three. No, what, Look, 373 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: I know that you don't think that was a challenge. 374 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: Was it a challenge yet? But it wasn't like he, 375 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: you know, rebuilt the Eiffel Tower, you know. I mean, 376 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: wait a minute, he took a team that could not 377 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: sniff the playoffs for a decade. Again, want to context, 378 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: If Jamis Winston isn't the first thirty thirty player in 379 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: NFL history, you don't think Tampa Bay is eleven and five, 380 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 1: ten and six hours. So you're that's quite a leap. 381 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: Where they five when they were the game below five 382 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: d and all of a sudden, Yeah, Jamis Winston doesn't 383 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: throw twenty intercept, they win five more games. He had 384 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: a historical season. Guess what if if Bill Belichick gets 385 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: Tom Brady some weapons and doesn't treat him like dogshit, 386 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 1: then he probably stays in New England and the dynasty 387 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: continues and they figure it out. But no, he goes 388 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: to Tampa and win the Super Bowl. Like, I don't 389 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: think that we're ever gonna see anything like this again, Rob, 390 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: I mean all I've been hearing for the last four 391 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: years out of one of these guys on odd couple 392 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 1: that's not named cris Brush Artist or he's gonna fall 393 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: off a cliff every year, somebody falls off a cliff 394 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: when they hit forty one, then it's forty two, then 395 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: it's forty Like, what are we gonna do? We're just 396 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: gonna do the same thing every year, and Brady doesn't 397 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: fall off a cliff like he is essentially rewriting the 398 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: record books for the position and age of quarterback and 399 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: forty four years old. Nobody's done this, nobody's sniffed this. 400 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: I'm shocked that you're not giving him problems. Tom Brady 401 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: is the greatest quarterback, the most accomplished quarterback in NFL history. 402 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: What he is doing is to be commended. But let's 403 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: not go out of our way to ball wash him. Okay, 404 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 1: Like he's done enough in his career. Well, I don't 405 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: like the ball wash any He's done enough throughout his career. 406 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: He's accomplished enough, or we don't have to shower him 407 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: with all of this praise without taking things into context. 408 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: Like if Aaron Rodgers wants to play until he's forty five, 409 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,239 Speaker 1: what kind of numbers think he's gonna be putting up. 410 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: Oh that's a great question, because I just pulled up 411 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. He's thirty seven. He turns thirty eight in December, 412 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers steps to the podium and you're like, jeez, 413 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: what this guy on like a three day bender? I mean, 414 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: is he taking care of himself? He looks like he's 415 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 1: in chain smoking cigarettes and go into rock concerts. Now, 416 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: he still played football very well on Monday night, yea 417 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: against the dogship Detroit Lyons and you're over here, what 418 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,959 Speaker 1: y to the Falcons? Hold on? What did he do 419 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: against the very average New Orleans Saints? He shipped his pants? 420 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: He did nothing, So I mean, you know we we 421 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: can parse. Oh well, Tom Brady threw two interceptions against 422 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: the Saints in the playoffs. Okay, uh. He also beat 423 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers head to head with a clutch throw at 424 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,239 Speaker 1: the end of the half, whereas Aaron Rodgers was not 425 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: clutch at the end of the game the second half 426 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 1: of that game because Tom was not great second half. 427 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: But he threw three interceptions in the second half and 428 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and his coach could not get any end 429 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 1: zone in the final minute. I mean, I don't know. 430 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 1: Maybe you don't want to blame Rogers for that, that's fine, um, 431 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 1: But Tom Brady in the Super Bowl, I know what 432 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: we we defend Patrick ma Holmes. He had no offensive line. 433 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: It is weird, how and I'm not pinning this on you, Rob, 434 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: but we love to make these elaborate defenses for everybody. 435 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: But all we do is puncture at Brady. And again, 436 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: I'm not even a huge Tom Brady fan. I've told 437 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: the story on this pod many times. I've interviewed him 438 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: twice once in the Victoria's Secret Party. Couldn't have been 439 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: a nicer guy to your favorite minor flex minor flex 440 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: on my part um and Brady listen, he was a 441 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: great guy. But that was just sixteen years ago, baby 442 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 1: out maybe seventeen um and and I look back and 443 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: I'm like, man, we should not be doing any tearing down. 444 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:58,479 Speaker 1: This is what we do in the media. We love 445 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: to build up and tear down. Oh gosh, Justin Herbert's 446 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: so good. Just wait two games, stretch out Justin Herbert's 447 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: garbage to a tank for to h tank for to 448 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: uh shee's to a guys trash garbage.

He's got like a built 457 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 1: in excuse every single time he's forty four. Nobody's ever 458 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 1: been here before forty four. You know, he's got ridiculous weapons. 459 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: I mean, who was it? I think he had two 460 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: touchdowns are grounk early.
