This is utter aggravation. I am dealing 12 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: with this small amount of space, so there isn't a 13 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: lot of um room for the cat to room. Well, 14 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 1: those are the consequences for your actions and on the outside, 15 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: like that's straight in space. I'm willing to I'm willing 16 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: to accept, you know, and the right to vote. I 17 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: will say you, guys, since I've been coming on this 18 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: pod and talking about people reaching out via jail Messenger, 19 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: the message requests have skyrocketed. I messaged you guys a 20 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. Actually with screen grabs, more kept 21 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: flowing in. So I need you guys to know there 22 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: are people in jail that listen to this podcast that's 23 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: highest rated jail podcast. I don't know where they're getting it. 24 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're listening through the toilet, but 25 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: it's out there and that just takes me with like 26 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: so much pride. I mean that, for the first time 27 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: in my life, I feel like I have some edge 28 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: because I'm the host of a show that's listened to 29 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: in prison. Absolutely, you do. Where else would these requests 30 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: come in from. You know, they like trickle in once 31 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: every few months, but then since I've started talking about it, 32 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: since Mark has gone to said jail, um, just the 33 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: requests have just been flying off the shelves. Have you? 34 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: Have you corresponded with any of these um now mostly 35 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: males in jail. No, but I do google their names, 36 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: and it is frightening to read any like sneaky backdoor hotties. UM. Sure, 37 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: all of them. I'm gonna say nice things about all 38 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: of them because I'm not sure how long they're gonna 39 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: be in jail four. But some of them are scary 40 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: and I've done things.

Uh. 62 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: But before that, let's open the book, Like through the 63 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: book at Cessler and said, we're going to fix you. 64 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: That cold Play song when you went into the can. Mark, 65 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: I just played that on loop, but I was I 66 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: was thinking about the federal like penitentiary system fixing you. 67 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: When you come out, you'll be whole again. When with Paltrow, 68 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: not the dad with Paltrow stuff Mark in the can 69 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: scare me straight. Let's do a tnfree cap, a really 70 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: funky interesting tnf Rams have to go nine eight yards 71 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: without a time out, twenty three remaining fifteen seconds. Mayfield 72 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: flings it left side end zone. God binde, Jefferson, good 73 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: night seconds remaining touch out Hella Mayfield comment maker, the 74 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: touchdown maker. I don't know if any of us will 75 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: cut feeling dangerous, but we're all going to sleep feeling dangerous. 76 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: J B. Long love you a dab baker mug, the 77 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: former Browns fan, And what a ride it's been. That 78 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: is the voice of the Rams. J B. Long, who 79 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: nailed that call. Jab sometimes hard on himself because he 80 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: holds himself to a high standard, but I'm sure he 81 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: went to sleep not just feeling dangerous. But feeling really 82 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: good that he is very qualified and excellent at that job. 83 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: Great call, Baker, What a bizarre career trajectory for Mayfield, 84 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: the one time savior of the Browns and the final 85 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: finally a solution to their quarterback room things fell apart 86 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: in Cleveland. He goes to Carolina, washes out there, claimed 87 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: on waivers earlier this week, and then basically plays the 88 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: full game on Thursday night, two days later after John 89 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: Woolford strangely played one series that was weird too uh, 90 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: and the game was going as everyone expected it to 91 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: go rams and Uh, the Raiders in total control sixteen 92 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: three late in the game, but too late touchdowns including yes, 93 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: an absolutely memorable, forever memorable uh yard drive cap cap 94 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: by that Van Jefferson touchdown. Um Mark, I'll start with you. 95 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: The the baker nous of it all made it even 96 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: more exciting. And just I'll throw it to you because 97 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: I know no one was more invested in Baker as 98 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,119 Speaker 1: an NFL player than you. How did it feel watching 99 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 1: him here? Uh? Incredible? I mean I think it's it 100 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: goes beyond Baker, where like suddenly you remember why football 101 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: is so um unpredictable and bizarre in a wonderful way. 102 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: I mean, ninety yards is the same length of drive 103 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: that John Elway used to execute the Browns back in 104 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: January of nine seven in the drive, And you know 105 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: this was obviously of a different magnecute. You did. You 106 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: essentially removed the Raiders from the a f C that matters. 107 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: But did watch Baker Mayfield do that? After he went 108 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: through you know, he flew to town on Tuesday, They 109 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: said that he ran through a ten play pass practice, 110 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: in a ten run play practice with players he's never 111 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: worked with, with an offensive line that's had twelve different 112 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: combinations in thirteen games wide receivers, he's never thrown to 113 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: um that final draw five, I mean there was initially 114 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: he throws the interception, it's removed by a past interference. 115 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: Max Crosby could have ended the game with that sack. 116 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: You get a penalty on the Raiders on that, and 117 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: then the big plays happen, and it's just like I'm 118 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: just watching it unfold and for Baker, except for him 119 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: the person. I mean, people have their strong feelings about 120 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, but to me, it was the example of 121 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: a football player that's been doubted entirely and we see 122 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: we see this all the time with quarterbacks. His career 123 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: essentially was written off. I mean, I think even on 124 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: our Tuesday show we talk about the fact he'll never 125 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: be a starter again and he'll never be anyone's back 126 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: up potentially because of the personality side of it. And 127 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: then two days later he's executing the Raiders on national television. 128 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: I don't think Sean McVeigh had any idea what was 129 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: going on in terms of the scope of it. He's 130 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: talked about afterwards, like we didn't plan for that. I am. 131 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: I am literally, It's one of the football things where 132 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: I'm at a loss for words because it's one of 133 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: those sports moments where it's like, Okay, that just happened, 134 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: and he threw pinpoint passes after looking like a defunct 135 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: quarterback in Carolina. I have no explanation. It's just one 136 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: of the marvelous aspects to the NFL. I want to 137 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: hear Rachel on this because she was as big a 138 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: Baker fan in Cleveland as I know outside of Mark Sessler, 139 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: and she's listening to Mark just like as if he's 140 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: a tale like around the hearth, like Baker came and 141 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: gave us the Christmas Miracle Rachel was hoping for. I 142 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: feel like you make a lot of good points Bakers like. 143 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: And I know some people are gonna like Sneaker at this, 144 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: but I feel like Baker is the kind friend you 145 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: know when you just like meet somebody and you're like, oh, 146 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: they're just there's something about them. There's like a sparkle 147 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 1: to them. There's just something different and whether you're turned 148 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: off by that sparkle, like the beer chugging, the smash 149 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: in his head against everyone, please sweet Jesus stopped doing that. 150 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: It's very terrifying, but there's just something about him that 151 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: just really if you just let the feelings flow, you 152 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: can really fall in love with the guy. And um Mark, 153 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: you were mentioning that he only went through ten pass 154 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: plays ten run plays. On top of all of that, 155 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: he did that with dudes that probably don't really like him, 156 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: like Bobby Wagner was asked about in this coming week, 157 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 1: and he's like, I don't want to talk about him. Like, 158 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: if he's gonna help our team, he's gonna help our team, 159 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: but otherwise I have nothing to say about him. Like 160 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: that's not really like, you know what, I like Baker 161 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: and I'm happy he's here, and you could kind of see, 162 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: albeit he was headbutting people without a helmet, but you 163 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: could kind of see people being like, like, stay away 164 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: from me, Like there's still probably you know, I think 165 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: it's safe to say, and I don't want to assume 166 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: too much, but I think it's safe to say that 167 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: the majority of players in the NFL probably don't like 168 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. Same with like the majority of people who 169 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: watch NFL probably don't really like Baker Mayfield. Yet he 170 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: comes into this situation, get got there when he was 171 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys watched the post game, 172 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,719 Speaker 1: but he like asked earnestly, like what time is it, 173 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: and someone was just like eight fifteen. He's like, cool, 174 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: I arrived at seven fifteen on Tuesday, Like it is 175 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: actually it's one of the I was watching and I 176 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: was like looking around. I was like, this is why 177 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: I love football. This is why I love football is 178 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: because crazy off like this can happen. The pressure of 179 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: the world is on this guy's shoulders, even the world 180 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: like he came here on Tuesday, He's not gonna do anything. 181 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: And yet Sean McVeigh was happier winning that game than 182 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: he was winning the Super Bowl. You could see it 183 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: in his face. He didn't. He did not celebrate that 184 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: in February a great like that that was like, I 185 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: bet you there was a moment last night that he 186 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: was like, That's why I came back. That's why I 187 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: turned down the bajillion dollars to do television, was to 188 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: win games like this with people like Baker Mayfield. Let 189 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 1: those emotions just wash wash over. You buy in because 190 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: it is so much fun to cheer for this time, 191 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, and that's like enough. I don't know 192 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: what's going to happen moving forward. I think that's an 193 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: interesting part of the story, but I don't need it 194 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: to be interesting, like last night was enough. The difference 195 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: between McVeigh last night and his reaction in February is 196 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: he didn't just have the most miserable two and a 197 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: half months of his life. Coming into February. He had 198 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: been on top up of the world since he entered 199 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: the NFL, the most winning coach in the NFL other 200 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,079 Speaker 1: than Bill Belichick since he entered the league, and he 201 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: was flying high and that was amazing. It was all 202 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,959 Speaker 1: part of the story that Sean McVeigh in his head, 203 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: losing six games seems like the most miserable thing he's 204 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: ever had. And to be down sixteen three with five 205 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: minutes to go, and we can go through all the 206 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: million different things that had to happen for the Raiders 207 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 1: to lose this game. Uh, just the outpouring of emotion 208 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: to go that low to that high that quickly, is right. 209 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: I think you guys hit it well, like why I 210 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: love football, because it wasn't really about the steaks. You 211 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: don't need to have a good game for it to 212 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: be incredibly dramatic, like you're not getting a regular season 213 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: game in other sports three quarters into the season with 214 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: similar steaks that can feel that emotionally exciting. And I'll 215 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: remember it forever because I was out on the town 216 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: um doing some Christmas eve stuff. We got Daddy Christmas 217 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: we call it in the house on Saturday because my 218 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: family's leaving town early. Uh, so we're out doing some 219 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: Christmas stuff. We were at the grove here and there, 220 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: and we were actually listening to that call by J. B. 221 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: Long And you guys know, my daughter Alice is a 222 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: massive fan, and so we were on our way back 223 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: listening to it. In the radio and our car exploded 224 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: with joy when that happened, and we like, we got 225 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: into the car at the exact perfect spot. It was 226 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: still sixteen to three. And to hear that comeback and 227 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: hear the excitement and JB's voice, who were friends with, like, 228 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: I'll never forget that, it really did feel like a Christmas. 229 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: It's been a long year for not just you know, 230 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh or Baker Mayfield, everyone connected with the Rams, 231 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: including JB. Long. I mean, this is one of the 232 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: worst title defenses we've seen, uh in recent Super Bowl memory, 233 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: So for them them to have this kind of big 234 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,079 Speaker 1: fun moment in prime time and uh Grave Digger called 235 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: it on the text chain yesterday. The last game we 236 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: saw in the NFL was a game where a team 237 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: the same was comfortably head sixteen to three late in 238 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,599 Speaker 1: the game and kept toying with their opponent instead of 239 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: just putting him away, and they give up two late 240 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: touchdowns in the last five minutes and lose seventeen sixteen. 241 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: It's almost like a simulation, and it makes you wonder 242 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,079 Speaker 1: if this is even legit um. I think the one 243 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: thing Rachel I disagree with you on is Baker I 244 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: don't think had the pressure of the world on him. 245 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 1: I think part of the reason I think no one 246 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: expected anything from him. In fact, you know, it was 247 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: basically disregarded that he could help the team in any 248 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: way because he didn't even know the names of his teammates, 249 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: let alone the playbook. And you just gotta give it, 250 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: give him credit. I don't. I doesn't change how I 251 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: feel about him as a player. I don't think he's 252 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 1: any good. But I think there is something about Baker, 253 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 1: and it's kind of ironic because I think it's the 254 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: same thing with O'Dell um and they famously did not 255 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: get along well in Cleveland together. But he does have 256 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: that something that that that that news koa as it were, 257 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: that that does separate him from other her backs and um, 258 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: you could see that, like they did a good job 259 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: on the Amazon when they didn't do everything well on 260 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: the Amazon. I wasn't crazy about their postgame show, but 261 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: they did a nice job flying up all the different 262 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: tweets all across the sports spectrum of people just being 263 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: you know, the Baker is the game doesn't necessarily match 264 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: the name, but he is a name brand, and uh, 265 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: I think people do get excited watching him, So it's 266 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: gonna be interesting to see what happens next with that. 267 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: And just before we kind of we should talk about 268 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: the Raiders, because obviously I've been talking the Raiders, the 269 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: team that could get back into the playoff race. That's 270 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: over now. This is an unprecedented season of collapses. Um 271 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: they are the first team since at least nineteen thirty 272 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: to lose four times in a season when leading by 273 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: double digits at halftime. And that's an impossible and impossible 274 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: game to lose, and Mark mentioned some of it. You 275 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: had the the I N T. You know, a beautiful 276 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: punt pins them at the two yard line and the 277 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: Rams don't have any time outs, the game is over. 278 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: Then only way to lose that game then is to 279 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: literally hand the game to the other team, and they 280 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: did this. They had an I n T wiped away 281 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: by a p I. It was the right call, a 282 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: mindless Jerry Tillery penalty after the Crosby sack that instead 283 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: of the clock running in the game being over essentially 284 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: at that point, stops the clock and gives them a 285 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: first down and fifteen yards. And then Baker did say 286 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: on the postgame show, um, I won't even mentioned. They 287 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: have third and one with a chance to end the game, 288 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: and they can't get a yard and leading to that punt. 289 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: Baker on the postgame show says he could not believe 290 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: that they're playing press coverage in that situation and not 291 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: zone and they end up leaving Van Jefferson on an 292 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: island against the overmatched young cornerback. And it's just like, 293 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: maybe it's not just bad luck, Maybe it's bad coaching. 294 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: Maybe it's things here. There's a reason that they're They're 295 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: in an unprecedented gag cycle, this Raiders team. So I 296 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: think both sides of the story are incredibly compelling. Obviously 297 00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: Baker and the Ramp side of it, and the Raider 298 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: is having an unprecedented season. Well, I think the Raiders 299 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: and emphatically announced to everyone observing the game, we aren't 300 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: for real and they're losing the close games they've lost. 301 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: It all bakes into the coaching. It all has a 302 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: lot to do with it, and like I I feel 303 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: like with this team, they aren't the sum other parts. 304 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: That's bad coaching to me when you there are stars 305 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: all over the Raiders and they simply don't show up, 306 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: And I think to be on the bottom end of 307 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: the game like last night. Is a perfect way for 308 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: their season to end. Because we went down the list 309 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: of who they play between now and the end of 310 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: the year and the Rams game we just have automatically 311 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: they'll win that and they might even beat the Niners 312 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: because the Niners have issues right now. It's like, forget 313 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: all that, handle your own business. They haven't handled their 314 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: own business all year. I think they could beat the Niners. 315 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: I think this is a strange team. That's fine, it 316 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: doesn't it doesn't matter because they didn't take care of 317 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: their business. No, and I don't I think you're if 318 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: you're if you're honest with yourself, if you're part of 319 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: the Raiders organization, I'm not sure you have the right coach. 320 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: We don't even know anything about the GM. I'm not 321 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: sure you have the right quarter back because Derek cart 322 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: to me, is the same experience year after year after year. 323 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter who's around him. And like the fact 324 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: that was a night for Davante Adams to have one 325 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 1: of his big games, and really when he end up 326 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: with seventy seven yards, it's like you just got outclassed 327 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 1: by a Rams team that has literally traveled through hell 328 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: for six straight weeks and has had a quarterback on 329 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,439 Speaker 1: the roster for thirty seven hours and just executed you 330 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: with ninety eight yards in a minute and a half 331 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,959 Speaker 1: to go. That's on you, Raiders. What about the cults 332 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: lost too? Not only they get beat by yeah, they 333 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 1: get they get beat by the guy that's been in 334 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: town for a day. They also got beat by the 335 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday cults. Like, I don't know how you if 336 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 1: you're if your ownership, you don't smell some something foul 337 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 1: going on with this team. But you know, I feel 338 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: like Derek carr Is I always kind of like listening 339 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: to his postgame press conferences because he's either like crying 340 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: or like saying something. He has interesting postgame press conferences, 341 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: Like I feel like he actually says something I didn't 342 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: even want to see it. Last night was like, you know, 343 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 1: Croatia and Brazil that penalty shoot at Brazil just got 344 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: kicked out of the World Cup. They're all crying on 345 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: the ground. I'm like, get him off the field. I 346 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: see to it. Last night. Max Crosby said after the game, 347 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 1: he just feels bad for the fans. That's how he 348 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: ended his long monologue on it, and I that is, 349 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: you know, at least there's an ownership there that you 350 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: you just buried your fan base basically for three months 351 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: straight this year. I don't think carl is gonna be 352 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: on this team. I'm confident Josh McDaniels will be back. 353 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 1: I really think last night helped set up Tom Brady 354 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: maybe getting there. That's getting ahead of ourselves, but it 355 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: should not be forgotten. The game absolutely turned on one 356 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: of the worst interceptions of the year by Derek Carr 357 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 1: late in the fruit half, and that what you know, 358 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: having known how the game is gonna end, and then 359 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 1: getting to then rewatching and knowing all the things that 360 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: had to happen for this happen, I mean that that 361 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: was the moment. It was just to play your shock 362 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 1: Derek Carr made and the Raiders this game played into 363 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: all their worst tendencies, which is I think they're extremely safe. 364 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: I think Josh McDaniels extremely safe. I think Derek Carr 365 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: is extremely safe. You can kind of see it that 366 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: they never turned the ball over. Typically they're among the 367 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: best in the league at that, but you saw like 368 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: they're running on third and five to set up field goals. 369 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 1: They're throwing little screen passes in the red zone on 370 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: third and nine to set up field goals. And then 371 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: Derek Carr makes that one big mistake and uh, and 372 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: you mentioned it, Dan, They couldn't get one yard either 373 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: when they needed it in the fourth quarter. That was 374 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner making some massive place. He's been awesome, so 375 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: he should get some some love for darting in there 376 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: and getting them the ball back. What a game. Good 377 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: for al Michaels too, who I was really starting to 378 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: feel bad for. I think he had a great line. 379 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: He did a podcast recently and I think he called ya, 380 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 1: some of the schedule has been leaky, I think was 381 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: the word he used. Uh in some leaky games this year. 382 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: Uh and uh. This one was for most of it, 383 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: and then it turned into one that everyone will remember forever. 384 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: We gotta check in there, let's keep moving, it's the 385 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: fun show. Let's check in with the viewers, listeners, whatever, 386 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: John Case. I need to hear what Dan would do 387 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: if Baker was a yet next year. It's not gonna happen. 388 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: Don't get here. This is the one thing I'll say. 389 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: Don't get sucked in by this performance and thinking Baker 390 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: as a player, He's not Christopher Townsend. Dan would absolutely 391 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: loathe having Baker as a Jet I think Dan would 392 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: rather the Jets resigned Donald. Damn right, you know, I 393 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: love Sam Donald. Sam Donald is not doing that last 394 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: night though, I'll tell you that much. No, but he 395 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: also doesn't get fired by every team he's on. Kyle 396 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: mallen cough. Was that performance enough to bring Baker back 397 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: next season? He's got four more weeks to everyone. Go ahead. 398 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 1: I want to say something, you know, I think that 399 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: when I said Baker has got the pressure of the world. 400 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe not the world, but it probably feels like 401 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 1: that because he's probably put so much pressure on himself. 402 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: And I just think for most human beings, like I, 403 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: I was thinking, I was out and about for the 404 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: first quarter, and I was driving in my car and 405 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: I was listening to the game, and I was like, 406 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,719 Speaker 1: I think, I hope that Baker sees a therapist. I 407 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 1: hope that he is able to talk to somebody, you know, 408 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 1: besides our Lord and say of Jesus Christ every single week, 409 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: because he probably has all of this pressure on himself 410 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: and the fact that he's able to still come out 411 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: and play football when the world hates him. I think 412 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: it's actually like a miraculous human feat in my he 413 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: and those passes weren't lucky. They were nice throws to 414 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: square Nick early in the first half. They could add 415 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 1: more points if Acres didn't fumble it. But he's got 416 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 1: four weeks to try to prove that he could come 417 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: back next We don't know if Matthew Stafford's gonna be back. 418 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: He could be back to the Rams as a backup, 419 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: but I almost think it doesn't matter. Reminded me a 420 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: little bit of that Cam Newton game when he came 421 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: back and like, for one week, it was just a 422 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: great moment and great story. I don't need I don't 423 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: need Baker to like turn this into a great second 424 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: act for that to this game to be memorable. Yea, 425 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 1: what else? We got our tickets sold out for the 426 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: live show in January? Yes, the Homecoming eight t N 427 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: Homecoming January at the Bourbon Room in Hollywood. Go to Ticketmaster. 428 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: I don't think there's many left. So now they we've 429 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: been getting the updates and uh they're tracking towards being 430 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: sold out probably before Christmas. Uh, but not sold out yet. 431 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: About a nice Christmas gift to your significant in prison. 432 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: One more question, who has failed the preseason predictions more? 433 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: Judy Elmore asks the a f C West or the 434 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: NFC West. Mark Oh I would say I would have 435 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: to go a f C West because I think that 436 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: the failure of the Denver Broncos is um above anything 437 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 1: else we've seen league wide. I mean, what we were 438 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: thinking about the Broncos four or five months ago and 439 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: what they are, um, no one saw coming. It is 440 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: a category. It's an absolute car crash of the highest nature. 441 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: You know. You know how the NFL didn't see it coming. 442 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: Their centerpiece on Christmas Day, which last year I think 443 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: was the most watched football day of the year, is Rams, 444 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: Broncos and Mark. I was gonna say, you weren't on 445 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: the show yesterday, but the Mark bot really did fill 446 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: in and uh really in an efficient manner. I would 447 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: say it was like post thing a passer rating of 448 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 1: one ten to one. Uh And I said, I had 449 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: a similar thought that the Broncos and Russell Willson. Wilson's 450 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: absurd struggles this year, to me, is the biggest surprise 451 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: in one of the craziest storylines in the league this year. 452 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 1: Just wild. All right, hit it braver, all right, it's 453 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: my turn. It's about me. Oh, give me that tambourine. 454 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: Here's a quote. I feel like I'm playing the best 455 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: football of my career right now. That's Jared got. The 456 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: date is January two, twenty one, and the Lions sent 457 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, their franchise pillar to the Rams in exchange 458 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: for Los Angeles first round draft pick in third round 459 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: pick in and quarterback Jared Goff And at the time, 460 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: golf was a throw in to make the trade make 461 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: more sense, and and the Lions took on the salary 462 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: for golfs so the Rams could then make it work 463 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: with Stafford and give him the big extension that he 464 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: signed shortly thereafter. And nobody thought much of it beyond that. 465 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: The whole everything after that trade was about the Rams 466 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: going all in and the lines doing their thing, maybe 467 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: tanking and uh golf sucking while they tank, and then 468 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: they go get their new quarterback in the draft. Um, 469 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: that hasn't happened, at least not yet, because the Lions 470 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: have one of the best offenses in the NFC, and 471 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: we're giving a lot of credit to offensive corner Ben 472 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: Johnson head coach Dan Campbell. Uh the skill players there, 473 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: the offensive line, Jared Goff not so much. I don't 474 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: hear a lot about Jared Goff, and people crediting a 475 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: man who written off by the football world. We talked 476 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: about writing off Baker. Everybody wrote off Jared Goff too, 477 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: guy that actually went to a Super Bowl. And right 478 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 1: now he's projected this season if he continues his production 479 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: to complete his passes for nearly yards, twenty seven touchdowns, 480 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: ten interceptions, passer rating uh near are those superstar numbers. 481 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 1: But man, those are pretty good. And when you put 482 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,479 Speaker 1: him up you you see how he understands and runs 483 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: one of the best offenses in the a f C. 484 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: I think you gotta give him some love. Then there's 485 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 1: things like this, Oh, Dan, you're just you're just cherry 486 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: picking this moment in time because they've on four or five. Yeah, 487 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: and his last five games check him out. All the 488 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: numbers are basically the same. The only thing that's changed 489 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: during this winning run he's not throwing interceptions. He hasn't 490 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: thrown an interception in four games, which is the best 491 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: run of his career. And um, you know, when you 492 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: look at what's going on, with this salary, he makes million. 493 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 1: He's due to make million each of the next two years, 494 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: which you might say, WHOA, that's weird, that's too much, 495 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: that's gross. Well, next year Aaron Rodgers is gonna make 496 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: fifty nine point five million. Deshaun Watson, who's behind him, 497 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 1: will make forty six million. Mahomes forty million. Golf makes 498 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: a very manageable salary for a quarterback, in the range 499 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: of what Carson Wentz makes with the Commanders. So I 500 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: find Goff's success strangely underplayed this season. Um, I think 501 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: the Lines are in a very similar boat to the 502 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. They both have high draft picks coming from 503 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: blockbuster trades where they can go get a quarterback, but 504 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: both I might want to think about maybe keeping the 505 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: guy in the house and then using that trade either 506 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 1: to take on another big time talent in the top five, 507 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: or if there's a team desperate enough for it a quarterback, 508 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 1: loading up with a godfather type deal and getting multiple 509 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: picks in return for a team that needs a quarterback. 510 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: So Jared Goff, he feels like he's playing the best 511 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 1: football of his career. I see you, buddy. I hope 512 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: that counts for something. M thank you, I love it. 513 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: Let's put him back on another hard knocks or all 514 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: or nothing. But we don't need to do that. We 515 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: do not need to see what kind of like chipping 516 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: set up he has in Detroit, like a little bites 517 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: By the way, if you remember early in the season 518 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,199 Speaker 1: when everything was going to hell, Um Campbell kind of 519 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: called out golf and said he needs to play better, 520 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: and he absolutely has. And Greg, I know we've talked 521 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: about off I brought him up a little bit this 522 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: year and there's usually some pushback from you. I'm not 523 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: saying that he's a star quarterback, but it is just 524 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: interesting to think about if you take a step back, 525 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: if you have a quarterback that's a relative bargain and 526 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 1: the offense is running with this efficiency, Like is that 527 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 1: something you want to mess with in the attempt to 528 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: find something better in in the great unknown? It's a 529 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 1: decision I think for Detroit. No, I don't think you do. 530 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: I think million is a good deal and I think 531 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 1: it puts them in a perfect spot there rebuilding effort, 532 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: especially if they can win a few more games here 533 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 1: is perfect because I think you keep Jared Goff and 534 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: if you do. Like a quarterback that high, you do 535 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: probably take him and at some point he's going to play, 536 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: but you're not gonna need to feel the need to 537 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: play him right away, especially when you're trying to make 538 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: the playoffs. I think Golf is like the perfect transitional 539 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: quarterback for the Lions, where if you get you draft 540 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: someone top five whatever and top ten, and Golf is 541 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: the kind of guy that's not is going to be 542 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 1: a good mentor and friend to a younger quarterback, which 543 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: doesn't happen with Aaron Rodgers and other people. We know that, um, 544 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: and he's and you don't have to You don't have 545 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: to start someone else week one. You can have Golf 546 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: in there for another full season. Like I think he's 547 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: also if you look at like football outsiders has certain 548 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: metrics on these guys, like his production has been absolutely 549 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: off the charts over what they would have expected for Golf, 550 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: So it's been a he's I think like Baker's thing 551 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: is like a micro like what happened with with Baker 552 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: last night is a small little like advertisement for his career, 553 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: But what Golf has done this season is like, yes, 554 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: he could be someone else's starter, he could be the 555 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: Lions starter. He certainly has extended his career by years 556 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,479 Speaker 1: and years by what he's done. I think. But if 557 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: you take a step back and take like a broader 558 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: look at things, like I feel like golf is playing great. 559 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: But I not that I didn't like him before, but 560 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: he has really gained like a lot of respect from 561 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: me because think about what he's been through the last 562 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: few years. He We all live in Los Angeles and 563 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: no shade to Detroit to trait. It's a really cool city, 564 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: lots of good things about it. It's cold there right now, 565 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: it's freezing cool. Could you imagine any of us packing 566 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: our bags and moving to Detroit right now after living 567 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: in sunny beautiful hitting them with the with the cold 568 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: take in Detroit, and I can say this, and then 569 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: to leave and then have your team, who you probably 570 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 1: love and have a lot of relationships on go and 571 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl after you leave, and then to 572 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: go to Detroit, who is like known for not being 573 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: great the past few years. Um, I really have a 574 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: lot of respect for him right now for doing what 575 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: he's done. And I reached out to the research department 576 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: guys because I'm a pro. Uh, hey can give me 577 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: some goth nugs because I want to gas him up 578 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: on the Friday Show. And uh, they very quickly. Ben 579 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: mc williams got back with some goff nugs. Uh. He 580 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: is one of only three players to have multiple games 581 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: with fort touchdown passes this season. Mahomes Allen are the 582 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: other two. His passer raiding and yards per attempt are 583 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: both best since two thousand eighteen. That was the Super 584 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: Bowl year I believe with the Rams, or maybe the 585 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: year before. And uh, Greggy helped me out with this one. 586 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: Jared Goff has seventeen passing touchdowns at home this season, 587 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: most in the NFL. Well, the Lions play against the 588 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: Vikings this weekend in Detroit. That's why we're all about 589 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: the Motor City kiddies. And I drafted him first overall 590 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: and the team. All right, let's check back in with 591 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: the listeners before we get to our predictions. Sabotaur desn't 592 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: Ridder's promotion to starter means that Mark will not have 593 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: to do a show shirtless. Oh damn it forgot about that, 594 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean he can't do it anyways. That's true. Well, 595 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: I will not. I think laughed. I think everyone wins um. 596 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: With the result of that proposition, three buttons there, buddy, 597 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 1: what that collar right now is flirting with it's I 598 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: always wear this shirt and see seventeen. The great thing 599 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: about doing remote UM broadcast is like no one has 600 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: to know how the shirt smells. It's not been washed 601 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: in like quite some time. Come on, we don't have to. 602 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: Just being honest. They're in jail, all right, what else 603 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: you're in jail for a reason? Peters CSM question, how 604 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: does Mark like the Sunday games Neil and Grave are 605 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: selected for him? Yes, of course if you missed the 606 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: Thursday show. Uh amortize it if you've missed it, um. 607 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: They Neil jumped in from Sky Sports. Great job, great bloke, 608 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: that Neil Reynolds. And did you see what games you have? Mark? 609 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: I believe I had San Francisco and Tampa Bay, which 610 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: I quite enjoy the rest escape I don't recall what 611 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: the others were, alright. I think I had Dallas Houston, 612 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: so that I love that because there's a blowout potential, 613 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: which you got Eagles Giants. I actually think he took 614 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: exactly the games that you would have taken in the spot. 615 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: He is a dedicated listener. That guy gets it. How 616 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: about Nick Doogan? Is this the biggest Lions game since 617 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: their last playoff game? No, because Caldwell was trying to 618 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 1: save his job and they were above trying to make 619 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: the playoffs five years ago. Those are big games, but 620 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: the biggest game since then? Right? Do the Lions have 621 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: to win out? Do they have to win every single 622 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: game that they have on this late now? Or can 623 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: I think they could lose one more? Maybe? Yeah? I 624 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: mean they one out they get in. Most likely if 625 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: they lost one more than who knows nine and eight 626 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: could get it in the NC. It puts an immense 627 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: amount of pressure on them to basically run the table 628 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: if they can't win this game. And also, yeah, there's 629 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: you know tiebreaker stuff is an NFC matchup that affects 630 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: things as well. I gotta go get this stuff needed. 631 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: I also feel like so many people are like Lions 632 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: or the Vikings are frauds, Like so many people want 633 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: to see the Lions and the lines are favored by 634 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: Like the last time I checked to was two. I 635 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: don't know if it's gone up to two and a 636 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 1: half or anything, but like Josh to them, all I 637 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: was seeing tweets from Joshua All famous person famous this 638 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: person Vikings Vikings fan. Oh, and he was not happy 639 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: that the Lions were favorite. You know what, I kind 640 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: of get it. I would feel the same way honestly 641 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 1: that they are in their feelings about everybody not buying 642 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: in on them. But just how about you just enjoy 643 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: being tenant to ooty Sneader sixties percent is also doing 644 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: a sixty percent listening and reading the comments. Is that true? 645 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 1: I have been reading the comments. I've also been making 646 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 1: sure I have all the last minute injury updates ready. 647 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 1: They're coming.

Trevor Lawrence was back at 651 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 1: practice on Friday, which makes it sound like they're pretty 652 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: hopeful he will start and we're not going to get 653 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 1: that game ruined by C. J. Bethard sae Quon Barkley 654 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 1: is weirdly sounding like a game time decision. I mean, 655 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: I don't like next stuff, Greggy. I don't like next time. 656 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 1: I know if I'm a fantasy owner he did finish 657 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,360 Speaker 1: last week, which is usually a good sign, but that's worrisome. 658 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 1: Leonard four Nets out of practice. It's early. We don't 659 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 1: know why. There's a lot of illness going around. Uh. 660 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker and d J Dallas both out of practice 661 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 1: for the Seahawks. I'm thinking like they're trending towards not playing. 662 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 1: Nico Collins and Derek Stingley are out for the Texans. 663 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 1: Just figure the Texans should get a mentioned every once 664 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: in a while. Mike Williams has been upgraded to a 665 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,879 Speaker 1: full participant. That huge news for the Charges. It really 666 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,760 Speaker 1: does sound like he'll be back. Courtland Sutton out most 667 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: likely after missing practices for the Broncos. Jerry Judy probably in. 668 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst, who has been good for the Bengals, is 669 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,919 Speaker 1: likely out after missing practices. Rondel Moore is likely out 670 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: after missing practices for the Cardinals, which is a bummer. 671 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: We've still never seen all the Cardinals receivers together. Traylon 672 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 1: Burkes still in the PUSSIH concussion protocol. Deante Johnson and 673 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 1: t J. Watt have been missing practice for Pittsburgh, so 674 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 1: keeping eye on that. Watt seems a little more hopeful 675 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: Matt Mulana might be a game time decision. Canarius Tony's 676 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 1: back at practice for the Chiefs. Christian Derra saws in 677 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,440 Speaker 1: the concussion protocol still, but it's practicing, so he's got 678 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,959 Speaker 1: a chance for the Vikings. And then finally, one last 679 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,320 Speaker 1: little bit of thing I found interesting. They're not putting 680 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:49,200 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo on injured reserve, which to me says a 681 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 1: lot and I think says they're hopeful that it's possible. 682 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: They're keeping a roster spot open for him to return 683 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. There, that's nice. Wow, that's gonna be insane. 684 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: Isn't it cute? Don't you? Isn't it easy to imagine Greggy, 685 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 1: who's loyal to football, waking up in the morning and 686 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 1: legitimately in a passionate way going through the injury reports 687 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: because he just wants to know what's going on, and 688 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,959 Speaker 1: like it excites him even just going through the injury 689 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 1: report and getting ready for the week to come. You 690 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 1: like not usually if someone's doing an injury update, you 691 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 1: don't feel that. But when Greg does what you do, 692 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: that's a guy that's excited. I think you guys play 693 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: really hopeful music. And you're just like talking about people 694 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: who are in like concussion protocolla. The music is a 695 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 1: little out of tune, but I think Greg is sort 696 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 1: of building a resume to be, you know, when this 697 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: all melts away, a really wonderful sort of a m 698 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 1: sports radio guy that comes in and gives you kind 699 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,280 Speaker 1: of you know, if someone did say in the comments 700 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: that it's time for you to point the microphone toward 701 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,800 Speaker 1: you when you talk, that's a little broadcasting too, But 702 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 1: otherwise you did great. You know, we've been moving this 703 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: desk around. We've had some changes in the bedroom. Still 704 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 1: still taping out of my bedroom. Tell us more about 705 00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 1: the changes in your bedroom, you know, just where certain 706 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:04,879 Speaker 1: things done. All right, let's get into it fearless prediction times. 707 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,239 Speaker 1: Before we move to Sunday, we'll let you know what 708 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:14,400 Speaker 1: we think happens. R Face, I get to go birds, okay, 709 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 1: Um this weekend, I think that our guy Derek Carr 710 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,120 Speaker 1: and I stop playing. Okay. I think that he hits 711 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,799 Speaker 1: up Twitter and he sees people arguing about if if 712 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,240 Speaker 1: die Hard is a Christmas movie. He says, I've never watching, 713 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: so he turns it on. Hold on, I'm going somewhere 714 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,359 Speaker 1: with it, he turns it on. Okay, he decides it's 715 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,439 Speaker 1: not a Christmas movie, but when he goes to bed 716 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,399 Speaker 1: that night, he has no less than three dreams where 717 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is Hans Gruber and Derek Carr is Bruce 718 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 1: Willis as Sean McClain, and also the Jets beat Bills. Okay, okay, 719 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:53,760 Speaker 1: you saved it like that. There's no way that anyone 720 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 1: can prove it didn't happen. Um, Greggy, I'm making mind simple. 721 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 1: I feel it's strong. We're gonna see a forty burger 722 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 1: from the Dolphins on Sunday night in a big win. 723 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,200 Speaker 1: It's just gonna kind of be the end of these 724 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 1: Chargers and the Dolphins, reminding everyone it was one bad week. 725 00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,799 Speaker 1: We're gonna embarrass this Charger's team. You know, Greggy, I 726 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: should point out everybody. I wasn't on the show last week, 727 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:22,240 Speaker 1: but everybody got their predictions wrong. You came so close. Uh. 728 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:26,360 Speaker 1: You said that Joe Burrow would throw three touchdowns and 729 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 1: a Bengals win. Um and Tai Boy dropping that wide. 730 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,880 Speaker 1: Maybe the drop of the year with Christian Watson cost 731 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 1: you the prediction. The spirit of it was right, though 732 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:42,239 Speaker 1: I got the spirit right, Rachel on game debut, we 733 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,400 Speaker 1: both had the Bengals winning. It was a nice w 734 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 1: feat for Rachel and Graver. I feel like it's unnecessary 735 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,480 Speaker 1: for you too, and I know you're doing your job. 736 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:50,880 Speaker 1: Our predictions record is eleven and a half out of 737 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 1: that percentage isn't great. I'll go next. I believe that 738 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,399 Speaker 1: M Deshaun Watson is going to be an absolute mess 739 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 1: against the rolling Bengals, who um forced Watson into multiple turnovers, 740 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: let's say three turnovers at the minimum in a double 741 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 1: digit loss. There will be some calls to return to 742 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: Kobe Rissette Uh to the lineup, and don't worry about that. 743 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 1: But Watson will enter week fifteen feeling some pressure to 744 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:27,319 Speaker 1: appear somewhat like the superstar qub the Browns sold their 745 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:31,799 Speaker 1: soul for. I love that. I'm with you, Mark, lock 746 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,920 Speaker 1: it up alright. I have a four pack of um 747 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 1: probably utterly doomed predictions because I'm one of the big 748 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 1: reasons where eleven and a half wins out of fifty eight. 749 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: But Davis Mills out of effing nowhere looks like a 750 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 1: mixture of Jim Kelly and Young Elvis mixed into one. 751 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 1: As the Texans nipped the Cowboys and a lone star 752 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:55,239 Speaker 1: state stunner. Um Prediction number two Brock Purty throws three 753 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 1: touchdowns but also three interceptions versus the Bucks. Um. Rachel 754 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 1: Bonetta will meet somebody on Saturday who will change her 755 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,400 Speaker 1: life um, and our fourth prediction, a coach will be 756 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 1: fired by the start of our Tuesday show, Lock it Up. 757 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 1: Change my living a good way, change me leaving in 758 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 1: a bad way. I can't see. I can't see beyond probably. 759 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that would be probably good. I 760 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 1: would I would say, just to uh the risk. It 761 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 1: feels like a coin flip, Rachel, I would say, just 762 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,920 Speaker 1: lock your doors and stay under the cover. Well, what 763 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,440 Speaker 1: if I got another email from somebody from a member 764 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:34,080 Speaker 1: of the jails to it all? Right? Thank you everybody 765 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,279 Speaker 1: for checking in all the content this week, and you 766 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:41,480 Speaker 1: know Rachel Banetta. Check out her podcast Benched with Banetta, 767 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 1: which is excellent. Grave Diggers the producer on that joint, 768 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,439 Speaker 1: as well all our NFL network stuff. And then we'll 769 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 1: be back uh Sunday with the Flagship show. Anybody have 770 00:40:53,640 --> 00:41:00,320 Speaker 1: anything any parting words?
