00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: the losers that give toothbrushes or fruit like this is

30
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: a night to just binge mini candy. I know I

31
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: have all week long. I justify my head to get

32
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: one Snickers bars, I'd have to eat twenty five minis,

33
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: which I would imagine is even close to being true.

34
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: But that's what I tell myself when I'm just slamming

35
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: them down every night because we have so much in

36
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: the house. Other than that it's Halloween. The Jets are

37
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: also playing, meaning we're getting more rogers and we get

38
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: to continue the potential debacle that is this team. But

39
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: I do think they lose again. We potentially will see

40
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: another firing on Friday morning, so I'll get into that

41
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: and we talked about Rex Ryan, like could they bring

42
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: him in mid season? The World Series is doing really well.

43
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: It actually out drew Monday Night Football. Have some thoughts there,

44
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: and I thought we'd just do five big question marks

45
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: as we head in to week nine, just talk about

46
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: some of these games, some of these matchups, some of

47
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: the big stories of the week. But we've had podcasts

48
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: all week, as we do every week, so go check

49
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: that out and also do I'll bang out a couple

50
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: of male bag questions as well at John Middlecoff. At

51
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: John Middlecoff is the Instagram. Make sure you fire into

52
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: those dms. Obviously, all this stuff's on YouTube as well,

53
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: so you guys know where to find us. Podcast feed

54
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: YouTube easiest way to consume the content. So before we

55
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: dive into that, you know, I got to tell you

56
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: about my friends, my partners, and the official ticketing app

57
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: game Time. As you saw the Yankee game Game five,

58
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: that fan who knows probably use game Time to attend

59
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: the game. Turns out he's Gronks buddy who ripped the

60
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: ball out of Mookie Betts's hands. He'll never be going back.

61
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: Looks like he's been banned. I don't know if he's

62
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: been banned for life. He definitely got banned for Game five.

63
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: Pretty hilarious moment. You just never know what you're gonna

64
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: get in sports Ultimate Reality TV. That's why going to

65
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: a game is so great. You know, you never know

66
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: you could see something historic. We've all been at some

67
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: bad ones, but we've been at ones that you'll never forget.

68
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: And any parent out there, we just talked about Halloween.

69
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: Those moments you have with your parents, with your dad,

70
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: if you have a young son or daughter, are things

71
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: that they remember for a long long time the rest

72
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: of their life. Really, So if you get an opportunity

73
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: and you've got some time off Friday Saturday during the

74
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: week and want to attend something an NBA game and

75
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: an HL game obviously football pro or college concerts as well.

76
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: You want to go to a concert sing some songs.

77
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: I say this all the time. You know, I don't

78
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: think I've ever been to a concert and not had

79
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: a good time. Now, obviously some acts are better than others,

80
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: and it's easier to find out now, like who's good

81
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: live who's not because you just go to YouTube. But

82
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: you know, historically, just you heard rumors, then you see

83
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: someone that you're like, WHOA, But now you've got a

84
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: pretty good idea. And when you go to a good show,

85
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: there's nothing quite like it. You have a great time,

86
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: you get a little tipsy and enjoy yourself. And this

87
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: app is so easy to use flashpoint deals. It gives

88
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: you the ability to search by where you can sit,

89
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: especially for concerts, the angle to the stage and the

90
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: exact view. It's great. So take the guests work out

Speaker 1: as prices guarantee. I hope some of the Jets, specifically

97
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, go to this game wearing just some outrageous costumes.

98
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily expect Rogers to remember a couple of

99
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: years ago when he showed up to training camp looking

100
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: like the dude from Nicholas Cage's character in con Air

101
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: put the bunnet back into box. He just looked just

102
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: like I forget the character's name, but the hair was flowing,

103
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: had he had the outfit going and perfect, but now

104
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: he's got short hair, so I don't think he can

105
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: quite pull that off. But we're forced to watch the

106
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: Jets again and that's the reality of them acquiring Aaron Rodgers,

107
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: and like Aaron even said that the league told them

108
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: Yells won. So they're on primetime NonStop and they clearly suck,

109
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 1: and I think this night has a chance to really

110
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: put the nail in the coffin. Obviously, their season's already over,

111
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: like this team's not going anywhere, but just in terms

112
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: of really shake some things up if they lose to

113
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: the Texans, which to me, even with the Texans injuries

114
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: Nico Collins out Digs is out for the season, their

115
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: passing game really has struggled the last couple of weeks.

116
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: So Joe Mixon looks really good defensively, I think Demiko

117
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: if he gets pressure on Aaron Rodgers. We've seen Aaron

118
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: aate movin and you've seen some quotes coming out from

119
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: unnamed executives in articles like it's you don't need to

120
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: be an NFLGM to watch him play and go this

121
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: guy's a shell of himself. This guy is nowhere remotely

122
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: close to what he once was. Welcome to life. I mean,

123
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: most guys as they age are not Tom Brady. I

124
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: say this all the time. Most guys think about Tom

125
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: Brady's peers, Peyton Manning his last season, could not throw.

126
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: I attended the Super Bowl. Actually it was one of

127
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: my great bets of all time. Had a lot of

128
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: money in the Broncos as an underdog against the Carolina Panthers,

129
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: and after the first couple drives it was a wrap

130
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: like you could tell his arm and I had seen

131
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: him earlier that season against the Raiders and his arm

132
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: was just as bad. It didn't work. Roethlisberger by the

133
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: end was a dink and dunk guy. Drew Brees, same thing.

134
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: Couldn't throw. Old guys, banged up players aren't the same now,

135
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: like Brady if Rogers just standing there. He has an

136
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: elite arm still, but he can't step into throws anymore.

137
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: So all of his throws are like back foot, let

138
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: it fling. And even when he used to enlisten Historically,

139
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is exactly the first guy you go to

140
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: a teach tape on. And I think sometimes Packer fans

141
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: know this Jordan Love is like copy and pasted his game,

142
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: which is a good thing, but sometimes it can get

143
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: him in a little trouble. Like I haven't charted it,

144
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: but I would imagine a decent amount of Jordan Love's interception,

145
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: especially over the middle of the field, have been backfooted,

146
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: like fade away Michael Jordan jumper throws, which is not

147
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: the ideal way to play. It's why guys like Peyton

148
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: Manning and Tom Brady and even a lot of other

149
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: guys in that era. You know, Philip Rivers is a

150
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: good example. Like their arms, you know, Peyton Manning, Philip

151
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: Rivers didn't have good arms, so they had to be

152
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: fundamentally stown and step into throws because they had to

153
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 1: get as much juice on it as possible. Aaron never had,

154
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: you know, Aaron always got away. He's like a pitcher.

155
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, I throw ninety nine miles an hour,

156
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: so yeah, my breaking ball's not great, but good luck

157
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: hitting ninety nine. And it turns out in twenty twenty

158
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: four everyone's thrown, so it's getting a little easier to hit.

159
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean. And you watch Rogers

160
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: and in one way, it's like, yeah, kind of sucks

161
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: seeing great players get old, but like, welcome to sports,

162
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: and I get there are a couple outliers. I mean,

163
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: like the way Lebron looks, I mean he was the

164
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: best player on our Olympic team, the way Brady looked

165
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: forty three, forty four years old. That those are not

166
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: normal situations and we cannot get used to that, and

167
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: the expectation for these guys should not be that. And

168
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: I think we're learning that with Aaron, even if his

169
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: team was better and his offensive line was better, he

170
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 1: would still be nowhere near what he was three or

171
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: four years ago. Remember his last year in Green Bay.

172
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: There were some kinks in the armor that year, and

173
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: that's way before it's Achilles ripped. So like, yeah, this

174
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: year has been a disaster. I also think I've seen

175
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: some takes, you know, guys like Mike Greenberg. This is

176
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: the most historic, like failure in the history of sports.

177
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: I gotta call bullshit on that, not because it's not

178
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: a failure, it clearly is. They spent a lot of money.

179
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: They've traded for a bunch of guys. They got a

180
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: bunch of high you know, valued names and a lot

181
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: of high priced guys. I mean, Rogers should be making

182
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: what forty five to fifty a year, but he gave

183
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: him a big pay cut. Obviously, DeVante signed one of

184
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 1: the biggest contracts in the history of the sport at

185
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: his position a couple of years ago. All these guys

186
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: got traded for first round picks. But this team has

187
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: sucked for a long period of time. I mean they

188
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they have the I'm not pretty sure.

189
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: I know they have the longest standing playoff drought in

190
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: American pro sports. Like that's not nothing. I mean we're

191
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: going on like fifteen years now. So I would argue

192
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 1: that like last year, the Dallas Cowboys, who have been good,

193
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: losing at home as a big favorite to the Green

194
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: Bay Packers in Jordan Love was a way bigger failure

195
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: getting their ass kicked, I'd argue to Baltimore Ravens getting

196
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: a home game also favored against Patrick Mahomes, whose team

197
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: only scored seventeen points. If I had told you at

198
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: the beginning of the playoffs, like you know, the wild

199
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: card round, that it's gonna be Ravens Chiefs, and the

200
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 1: Chiefs are only going to score seventeen points, that's all.

201
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: You know. The line's gonna be the same. There is

202
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: no way, even if you're not a gambler, you wouldn't

203
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: be like, hey, what's the draft Kings account? Like I'm

204
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: putting a lot of money. That's an epic failure. Right.

205
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: The Jets have been a disaster because we talk about

206
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: them so much, but like, this team has sucked for

207
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: a long period of time, and these guys together haven't

208
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: one crap. Part of you know, what makes football to me,

209
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: why I love it so much, is because it brings

210
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: everything into play, right, Obviously tangible like the skills, like

211
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: you gotta have it, you need high end players, but

212
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: unlike baseball, coaching really matters every single play, every single position.

213
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: Chemistry and unity as a group matters a lot. I

214
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: would also say intangible stuff like, ultimately, if Aaron Judge

215
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: is hitting or not hitting, and I'm recording this before

216
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: Game five, it has nothing to do with like his

217
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: intangibles or his toughness or whatever. He just not seeing

218
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: the ball very well right now. Loss is confidence, right,

219
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: like a huge part of football, Like the Washington Commanders

220
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: aren't exactly I don't know the ninety four Cowboys from

221
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,719
Speaker 1: a roster standpoint, No one's gonna get it confused with

222
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: some of the great teams we've ever seen, even if

223
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: they end up winning twelve games. But I would imagine

224
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: if you got Adam Peters or Dan Quinn on the

225
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: phone and said, describe this team to me, separate from

226
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: the quarterback. And obviously Terry mclaurin's a really good player,

227
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: but they got a lot of guys that like are

228
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: our work ethic, our toughness, our football IQ, our willingness

229
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: to do whatever it takes Monday through Saturday is through

230
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: the roof. It's the buy in has been crazy, Like

231
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: in baseball, do you need a buy in? Like in basketball,

232
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: like you either can shoot threes or you can't. Like

233
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook's trying. He can't hit water from a boat

234
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: if he was in the middle of the ocean. That's

235
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: just welcome to a guy that can't shoot. Right. We're

236
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: in football. There are a lot of guys like, hey,

237
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: he's kind of slow footed. You know, he doesn't have

238
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: the longest arms. But it's like he's the toughest mfor

239
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: on our team. And when you look at the Jets,

240
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, Tyron Smith used to be good. He's

241
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: not good anymore, Right, a lot of hype on some

242
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: of your young players. That's like, yes, oas Gardner's not

243
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: playing very well, their coaching staff is abomination, but their

244
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: quarterback just isn't nearly as good as he once was.

245
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: And we've talked a lot about this, Like, you know,

246
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: the leadership I mean from Peyton Manning and Tom Brady

247
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: is just elite. Their drive and their standards for their

248
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: teammates or like they might as well be Nick Saban

249
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: but with a helmet and football pats, Like those guys

250
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: are even outliers. Like no one would confuse Roethlisberger's leadership

251
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: as being like all time great, but for a lot

252
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: of his career it's like, yeah, this guy's one of

253
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: the most I don't know, unique players we've ever seen. Wait,

254
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: this guy six y six two seventy, huge arm, toughest shit,

255
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: hard to bring down. And then as he lost it

256
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: as he got older, he just wasn't quite the same.

257
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: And when you lose it as a quarterback. The one

258
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: thing Ben had is like, you know, the culture and

259
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: the team so they could still be really competitive. They

260
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 1: had Mike Tomlin. You look at the Jets, it's like, okay,

261
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: Rogers lost it clearly can't save the team. I saw

262
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: Colin went on a thing on on his TV radio show.

263
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: I guess more of a TV show now podcast as

264
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: the way I usually consume or a YouTube TV. It's

265
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:33,359
Speaker 1: like the saviors don't exist, and I would say sometimes

266
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: they do. If you get like an all time great

267
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: player like Andrew Luck, if you put him on most teams,

268
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: like he's gonna be have a savior element to him.

269
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: I mean that Cold Steam was not very good, but

270
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: like a forty year old coming off an achilles, yeah,

271
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: he's got no chance in a league. It's like, yeah,

272
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: it's softer than ever, but there's never been more speed

273
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: on the field. All these defensive coordinators are getting paid

274
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: a boatload of money to figure you out, and it's like, oh, yeah,

275
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: you can't run. So it's like, wait, one of your

276
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: main strengths that made you a great player is just

277
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: completely gone. And it's why Tomorrow night like I expect this,

278
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: Like I'm not betting this game because it does feel

279
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: like everyone thinks they're gonna lose and then they end

280
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: up winning. It's a short week at home, but like

281
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: if they do lose, I feel pretty confident, like the

282
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: general manager's probably fired on Friday. Now, the GM's contract

283
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: is over at the end of the season. I think

284
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: the writing's on the wall. It's not like he's getting

285
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: a contract extension. I mentioned this yesterday. I don't think

286
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: it would be the craziest thing you've ever heard if

287
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: Woody Johnson pulled a Jim Rsay, but instead of Jeff

288
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: Saturday got an ESPN guy that knows how to coach.

289
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: We mentioned Rex Ryan. Why it makes a lot of

290
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: sense to be the next head coach of the Jets

291
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: is if you tell me they lose, like, why not

292
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: just bring them in Saturday or Sunday. I haven't start

293
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: coaching the team on Monday. Like he'd clearly do it.

294
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: He'd drop everything heart beat and come back. If you're

295
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: the just like, what's the point of just rolling this

296
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: out with Jeff Ulbrich, who is like, you've had a

297
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Clearly he ain't the answer, and you

298
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: have greatly diminished his one strength, which was just focusing

299
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: on the defense. So wouldn't it make sense just to

300
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: fire the GM and to ask and now who knows?

301
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: Maybe Rex is like I don't want the mid season snink.

302
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: I'll definitely interview. But my guess is the way Rex

303
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: is talked about, I think he'd show up immediately and

304
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: just almost give you a trial run. And my expectations

305
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: is like, just can can you get the train back

306
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: on the tracks? Can you get us just pointed in

307
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: the right direction? Can you take this corner that everyone

308
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: said was the greatest thing since sliced bread? Who have

309
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: always thought sauce was a little overrated, but he was

310
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: a high end Pro Bowl level player. Is playing like

311
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: an undrafted free agent. That's what a scout told me

312
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: the other day. Like throw on his tape. He looks atrocious.

313
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: Now is he banged up? I don't know, but like

314
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: that would not fly. The one thing you know with

315
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: Rex is like the culture and the effort, like there

316
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: are non negotiables. Well, what happens when you bring in

317
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: a substitute teacher, like you usually screw around. You know,

318
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: back in the day when I got substitute teacher. We

319
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 1: used to have in the nineties, those role in televisions

320
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: with the VHS and usually like watch a movie and

321
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: everyone was just dicking around, whether it was elementary school,

322
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 1: junior high, or high school and I think sometimes we

323
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: always talk about the boost of the interim coach. I

324
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: think most consistent theme is yeah, maybe a game, and

325
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: then it usually resorts back to what it was and

326
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: a lot of times worse. And usually the guy's an

327
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: interim coach for reason. The teams and shambles, and there's

328
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: not much he can do if he's not some future

329
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: coaching star. So like, from what I've heard, and it's

330
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: pretty clear they thought this guy had head coaching upside,

331
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: and listen, maybe he does. Maybe you should go to

332
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: college or something, but he's just completely over his head

333
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: the first several weeks. I mean, losing that game last

334
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: week is an embarrassment. So I think everything would be

335
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: on the table if they lose at home with a

336
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: bunch of people. And here here's what someone told me.

337
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: When you lose like this, like that Patriot game, the

338
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: negative energy coming in on Halloween night, people wearing costumes.

339
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,959
Speaker 1: I would imagine a lot of sarcastic costumes toward the Jets.

340
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: And if you have a bad night as a primetime game,

341
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: I just think the owner is going to do something.

342
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he's already shown that he's a pretty inconsistent guy, right,

343
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:36,719
Speaker 1: just in terms of his messaging, his actions. So buckle

344
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: up if you're a Jets fan, and honestly, like, would

345
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: anyone complain if you just said, yeah, Rex Ryan started

346
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: coaching on Monday, like because if they lose, like, okay,

347
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: you're two and seven, you're completely done. No one wants

348
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: to speak about you. But that would keep me entertained.

349
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: I saw some numbers come out on the old interweb

350
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: that the World Series outdrew Monday Night Football. Now both

351
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 1: these numbers, you know, Monday Night Football usually does between

352
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: twelve and fifteen million people. I mean sometimes big game

353
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: as the season goes on could be much higher, but

354
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: like you're doing thirteen to fifteen million people. For example,

355
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals last year is doing like nine ten

356
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: million people. That's what's in the last couple of years.

357
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: So these are enormous numbers that the baseball game did

358
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: like fourteen million plus. And this World Series has been huge.

359
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: I mean, the ratings have been just astronomical relative to

360
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: what the baseball Just the vibe in the World Series

361
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: has become in terms of interest, it's clear. I mean,

362
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: you get the two biggest brands in the sport. The

363
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: Yankees probably have one of the biggest fan bases all

364
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: of American sports, even football. So I mean I would

365
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 1: have ma imagine just the quantity of their fans. Probably

366
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: isn't that far behind, like the Dallas Cowboys. I mean, say,

367
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: if you just did, are you a Yankee fan all

368
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: over the world. But I do think it shows us,

369
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: Like we talk a lot about football, it's greatest strength.

370
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: It's easy to consume. The overwhelming majority of human beings

371
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: do not work on Sunday. The games once a week

372
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: for two and a half three hours. It's easy to

373
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: follow your team. You don't have to change your lifestyle

374
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: very much. And if your team happens to play on

375
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: Monday night football, it's usually after work so you're able

376
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: to watch it. It's just a very very easy sport

377
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: for a fan to watch the games, and then the

378
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: games mean more. Right, you play once a week, and

379
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: the one thing clearly with baseball, you play every day.

380
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: Even Maria last night Game four was on, She's like, wait,

381
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: the World Series on is again? I'm like, yes, Baseball,

382
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,719
Speaker 1: you play, you know, they're no, they're the only off

383
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: day be to travel. Like, if you're in the same city,

384
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: you play back to back, you just play all the time, right,

385
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: even in the World Series, I'm like, yeah, this is

386
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: this is the way it works. Like this isn't the

387
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: NBA Finals where you have a couple of days off,

388
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: Like this is you are playing and let's face it,

389
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: Like I'm a good example. I would say I'm on

390
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: the high high end of sports fans, just the amount

391
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: when I was a kid that I consumed and I watched.

392
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: Through my twenties, I've dedicated my life to working in

393
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: the business and I don't think if you count from

394
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: Game one to Game one sixty two, I watched more

395
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: than a total of nine innings of baseball. Now part

396
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: of that is I no longer live in the market

397
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: in which the team I root for plays in, But

398
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: the Giants are so bad. Even if I did, I

399
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't watch them. They're not good enough for me even

400
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: to think about like getting the package and like during

401
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: the offseason, like I'm just not watching Sunday Night baseball.

402
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 1: But a huge part of the culture we live is

403
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: like football became something that everyone wants to be involved in,

404
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: and I think college football has benefited from that too.

405
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: Is like WHOA, I got to watch this game and

406
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 1: it's become a huge event. I think TV shows benefit

407
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: from this right obviously social media. If you haven't watched

408
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 1: the show and your friends talk about it, you see

409
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: stuff online and it feels like a big deal. You

410
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: feel like you're missing out. So you're like, what's this

411
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: penguin show? Wait, Colin Ferrell's doing? What all these people

412
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: are talking about it? I gotta check it out? And

413
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: then you watch it. And that's how it to me.

414
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: TV shows in twenty twenty four become really big. It's

415
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: kind of word of mouth in the power of social media. Now,

416
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: if you don't like the show after a couple episodes,

417
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: you might not keep watching. But I'd say for the

418
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: most part, most of the big shows kind of spread

419
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: that way. You don't want to feel like you're missing out.

420
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: I'm not a big sci fi I don't even know

421
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 1: if Game of Thrones falls under that, right, but the dragons,

422
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: the just kind of that world is not for me.

423
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: But I felt like everyone was watching Game of Thrones,

424
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: so I was like, I watched it. I didn't like

425
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: it that much. It didn't do that much for me.

426
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: Beside like I'm in you give me nudity, you give

427
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: me some sex and you give me people getting killed,

428
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: like I can watch, no problem, but I watched because

429
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: I didn't want to feel like I was missing out.

430
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: And football holds that part of our lives right now.

431
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: I think the reason the NBA has lost, you know,

432
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: half of its viewership over the last decade is like,

433
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: you can't have the teams and the players tell you

434
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: they don't care about the games and expect the consumer

435
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: then to care, and when you lose them throughout the year,

436
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: like you better have the perfect combination, like baseball has

437
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: lost that. And if this was Padres versus the Guardians,

438
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: these numbers would probably be five six million people watching.

439
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: But you give me Yankees, you give me Dodgers. It

440
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: feels big. I have not missed a I'm trying to

441
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: bang this out right now so I can go watch

442
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: the game here in about forty five minutes. And I

443
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: think that's cool, and it's one thing that we still

444
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: share in common. It's why my love of football. I

445
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: love just running into people and then eventually talking about football.

446
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: It's a great communal experience and I say it all

447
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: the time, like my crossover in the golfing world, I

448
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: would say most times when I play golf with people

449
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: that I do not know. Football is brought up within

450
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: the first couple holes, and once we kind of level

451
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: out what I do or what team they root for,

452
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: becomes a consistent theme throughout the eighteen holes that we play.

453
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: And that's just not true for the other sports, I

454
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: would say consistently, because they're not an event that we

455
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: all share anymore. And obviously there are a lot more

456
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: people you know in the world than thirteen or America

457
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: thirteen fourteen million people. But I do think just a

458
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: lot of people casually, and that's really benefited the NFL

459
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: is like they've had an enormous increase in women watching,

460
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: and I think one way, and I think a lot

461
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: of these women are people's girlfriends and wives because they

462
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: don't want to feel like they're missing out because it

463
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: feels bigger than maybe it did fifteen, twenty thirty years ago,

464
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: because it's true, and they've marketed that way and it's

465
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 1: kind of worked, especially relative to the other sports. So

466
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: I'm very fortunate. Like I can't imagine, like when I

467
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 1: did a daily radio show, I had to watch every

468
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: baseball game. I watched every basketball game, and half the

469
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: time I was like I don't even care that much,

470
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: but you gotta do your job. You got to know

471
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. And I don't have to do

472
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: that anymore. So to get me to watch something that

473
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: I'm not going to talk about on this podcast, like,

474
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: it's got to be really really good and really really interesting,

475
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: and I think the World Series this year with the

476
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: Yankees and Dodgers has captured that and it's been really cool.

477
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that moment of that fan ripping the ball

478
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: out of Mookie Betts's glove is some of the funniest

479
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: shit I've ever seen. On a serious note, for a

480
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: split second, You're like, bros, he gonna hurt his wrists

481
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: because that would have been bad, but obviously no one

482
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: got injured. Like it was hilarious like that. That is like,

483
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: obviously the guy's insane to even have that idea. I

484
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: saw Rob Gronkowski said he went to college with this

485
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 1: guy at Arizona. He was on the hockey team. He's

486
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: like that dude's insane, And this is Gronk saying that.

487
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: So I just it's had some fun moments. It really has.

488
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 1: It's kind of got me back into baseball. Let's do

489
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: five big question marks as we head into week nine,

490
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: I thought we just do this just a way to

491
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: kind of talk about some of the big things this weekend,

492
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: just things that I that I was kind of fired

493
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: up on. Let's start with this one, because you know, listen,

494
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm in the business talking football, you gotta include the

495
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: Cowboys sometimes. I do think it's interesting, like, are the

496
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys really just gonna suck? Like, listen, anyone that wants

497
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: to push back and say they get talked about too much.

498
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: I understand where you're coming from. But at least the

499
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: last three years they've been a twelve win team, They've

500
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: won the division twice, Like they've been a real tangible story.

501
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: Are they really headed towards six or seven wins? Like,

502
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: because that's what it kind of feels like. Right now.

503
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: They're playing the Falcons, who have won four of their

504
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: last five games. I saw before I press record, Cousins

505
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: was just named Offensive player of the week. I think

506
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: what he throw four touchdowns? You know, talk about the

507
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: polar opposite of two guys that tore their achilles last

508
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: year and Rogers did in Game one, Cousins did it

509
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: what in November? And Cousins now looks fantastic. But remember

510
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: Custins a couple of years younger. And here's the other thing.

511
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 1: Cousins game's not predicated on a running round. Cousins ain't

512
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 1: thrown from the back foot. Cousins if his cousin's arms, fine,

513
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: he plays. You know. I'm not saying he's these guys,

514
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: but his style is manning Brady. He's sitting in the pocket,

515
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: stepping into throws, no running because he can't run, no

516
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: ad libbing off because if he gets, if you pressure him,

517
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: it's over. Kind of with God. Those guys are stepping

518
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: the throws, deliver the ball, so they're fundamentals have to

519
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: be elite for them to play well. And you watch

520
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: a Cousin, You're like, got it just looks good again.

521
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: He looks like a normal good player and a Rogers,

522
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: which is weird to say about one of the best

523
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 1: quarterbacks of all time, Like not mister fundamental, you know,

524
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: And you watch Cousins of Slice and Dice, and this

525
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: Dallas event sucks. Cool moment I saw Digs who went

526
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: at it with that reporter about the tweet. They shared

527
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: a laugh today. I also think it's fair because I

528
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: watched the full video spliced up with the one today

529
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: of them kind of laughing. If you haven't seen it,

530
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: google Trayvon Digs and the Reporter. I do think after

531
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: a game, when you're getting your ass kicked, like emotions

532
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: are pretty high, like if I'm mad and something happens,

533
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: like if something bad happens to you for the next

534
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, thirty minutes hour before you can either

535
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: walk it off or kind of give a little time

536
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: like you're gonna be hot. Like I do understand guys

537
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: after a game, even if it's it's like the first

538
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: thing you do is check your phone. Yeah, I mean

539
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: I could be critical of that. I do the same shit,

540
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: so do most people listening. Like the phone kind of

541
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: lives in our hand. So is it that crazy that

542
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: he walks in the locker room after losing another game

543
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: that he checks his phone, like, yeah, well, welcome to

544
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, but you lose this game, which they're

545
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: an underdog. Uh, And I don't think most people are

546
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: confident Dallas is winning this thing all of a sudden.

547
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: It's like you're three and five then you play the Eagles.

548
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: Are you just headed for a disaster? Are is it

549
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: gonna get bad enough where Jerry knows Mike is not

550
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: coming back and like fires him in the middle of

551
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: the season or fires him around Thanksgiving. I think everything's

552
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: on the table if they lose this game, because then

553
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: they would, assuming Philly handles Jacksonville, be a pretty big

554
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: underdog at home. The other thing for Atlanta in this

555
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: game they win it. Tamp is going to Kansas City

556
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: on Monday night. This division because you know, my Saints

557
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: are dead. Uh could could be over pretty quick. I

558
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: saw on Pro Football Talk today that the Bills technically

559
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: can clinch the division if all goes right by week eleven.

560
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: I don't know the math here on Atlanta, but we

561
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: twelve thirteen. It could be a rap and they could

562
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: just be playing for seeding. So this is the tough

563
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: team to play now. Atlanta can't really rush the passer,

564
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: but offensively they got some horses and I can see

565
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: b John Robinson. If you play daily fantasy, if you

566
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: want to gamble on some some touchdowns for a game,

567
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: that might be a good game to dabble on. Bijeon

568
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: having a big day number two. I think this is

569
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: a question that your guests is as good as mine.

570
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: But I'm pretty fascinated to watch this game. How will

571
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears respond? That has to be one of

572
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: the biggest kick in the Dick losses you will ever see. Listen,

573
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: you lose on a hail mayor there's probably nothing worse

574
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: in football like listen a lot of guys game winning

575
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: field goals when the other teams lined up for a

576
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: field goal. You got a pretty good idea depending, you know.

577
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: I somehow my algorithm on YouTube. I watched now Davis

578
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,479
Speaker 1: video and now I've been getting a bunch, and I

579
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: got put the video of the day that he fired

580
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin and he had the overhead projector, and last

581
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: night I ended up watching like forty five minutes of it.

582
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: I don't know talk about having no life, but I

583
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: had forgotten when Lane kiffen rolled out Sebastian Janakowski for

584
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: a seventy five yard field goal. Obviously it wasn't even

585
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: close to being made, and SeaBASS had a big leg,

586
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: But like I would say, anything inside fifty. For the

587
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: most part, if you're on the sideline or you're a fan,

588
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: you are expecting to lose. No guys clearly missed field goals.

589
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: You are not expecting to lose on a Hail Mary

590
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,959
Speaker 1: and everything that happened after that with the video at time,

591
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: Eric Stevenson how critical everyone's been with the coaching staff,

592
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: because let's face it, they've been pretty shitty. You're coming

593
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: to Arizona, who's four and four, who has shown a little,

594
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: They've been down in games and come back. They are

595
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: very difficult to play. They're gonna be a lot of

596
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: Bears fans there would if you're like, down ten to

597
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: nothing after the first quarter, are you getting booed? You know?

598
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: I think this thing, this game, to me, is all

599
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: about Eberflusen, the staff if they have any shot of

600
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: keeping this job. Like this is a must win game,

601
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: if the Bears want to sniff the wild card, which

602
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: might be dead after that game on the Commanders when

603
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: you look at their schedule, This is a must win.

604
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: This is a must win. And I kind of like Arizona.

605
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: But Arizona also makes me nervous because I bet on

606
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: them and they've laid eggs, so it's they're kind of

607
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: a stay away. But I think this thing could get weird,

608
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: and this thing could get weird fast because Cale's a

609
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: rookie and he's not playing that well. So it's not like, hey, guys,

610
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: get on. He can't look at them like Lamar Jackson

611
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: or Josh Allen to get on my back. Fellas, I

612
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: got us this week. I'll like these guys up Like

613
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: Christmas Tree, He's very dependent on his coordinator and as

614
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: head coach. I saw today Montes sweat miss practice, who

615
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: he was awesome last week? Like, how's this team gonna look?

616
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: Because to me it's it's I don't think there's much

617
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: middle ground. They're either gonna respond and have a chip

618
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: on their shoulder and look good. They are the better

619
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: team than the Arizona Cardinals. They should win this game

620
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: or they might melt. And to me, if they melt

621
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: this game, it could kind of unravel and those games

622
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: against the Packers and those games against the Lions could

623
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: get ugly. So I'm fascinated by this matchup. Number three

624
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: is Sean McVay in the Los Angeles Rams back because

625
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: if I would have told you three weeks ago that

626
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: the Rams were playing Seattle in Seattle, what's the what's

627
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: the what's the line? I think it would have been

628
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: Seattle minus five, minus six, obviously, factoring in the injuries

629
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: and the way the two teams are playing. Now you

630
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: watch Seattle, who looks like shit. I saw They asked

631
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald today if about Halloween. He's like, I don't

632
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: really like Halloween. And then he laughed and he said,

633
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: I dressed up for Bill Belichick one year, but Belichick

634
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't like that because of the way our defense

635
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: is playing. And then you get the Rams, who are

636
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: coming off a mini by right because they played on

637
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,240
Speaker 1: Thursday night. They get those two guys back, their offense

638
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: looks dramatically better, obviously. I mean, Puka Naku is one

639
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: of the best receivers in the league. Cooper is still

640
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,439
Speaker 1: a solid player. It opens up their run game. Their

641
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,439
Speaker 1: defense is solid. We'll have to you know, if DK

642
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: plays are not it's a pretty big deal for Seattle.

643
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: But these guys used to play in just great games

644
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: when Pete and Russ were there. But I feel like

645
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 1: I can see the Rams win this game by ten plus.

646
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: I mean, if they're gonna play like they did last week, rejuvenated,

647
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: refreshed and just explosive on offense all of a sudden,

648
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: I'm telling you you're gonna look up if you look

649
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 1: at the Rams schedule and they're gonna be like six

650
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: and four or seven and five. You're like, wasn't this

651
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: team like one and four? Like yeah, And then they

652
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: got Pooka Toakua and Cooper Cup back, and they still

653
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: got Matt Stafford. I do think, how do I want

654
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 1: to fraighten this? Are we on a collision course for

655
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 1: Philly and Washington? I look today eleven fourteen, So that's

656
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: basically in you know, two weeks, the Eagles played the

657
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:50,240
Speaker 1: Commanders on Thursday Night Football. So Washington this week plays

658
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 1: the Giants in New York like the comedy's there. Then

659
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: they get Pittsburgh at home, which gonna be a tough game.

660
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: The Eagles host the Jags big seven and a half

661
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: point favorite, and then they go to Dallas. These two

662
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: teams are the same record right now. As long as

663
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: they both win one of these next two games and

664
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 1: neither team gets swept, that game is massive. That will

665
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,439
Speaker 1: be easily the best Thursday Night game of the year

666
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: in terms of momentum going in. So this Commander story

667
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: really is pretty incredible. What dan Quinn Adam Peters signing

668
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: just kind of you know, lower name guys, guys that

669
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: weren't as sexy just depth players for other teams and

670
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,760
Speaker 1: you just watch them play, they just look solid. Obviously

671
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: their quarterback has been pretty freaking good, and I just

672
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: feel like their defense is overachieving, and to me, you

673
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: have to look at dan Quinn for that. So are

674
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: we on a collision course? And I don't think Philly,

675
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: you know, is I think Philly is the better team,

676
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: like roster wise, way better actually, But I thought the

677
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: same thing about the Bears and eber Flus. Say this,

678
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: like if you were just comparing eber Flus to Sirianni,

679
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: now that I think the Eagles team is obviously better

680
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: than the Bears, but you would go, here's what I

681
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: say about Eberflus, what I wanted as my head coach,

682
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: of course not. He is a really good defensive coordinator

683
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: like his de He is good at that When I

684
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: Sirianni is like, well, I don't even know. Kellen Moore

685
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: and Jalen have settled down and their defense has got pressure,

686
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: which Sirianni is nothing to do with. So that that

687
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: is always the swing here, Like I would take dan

688
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: Quinn over Sirianni, and that could be an equalizer even

689
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: if a team does have more talent, But I looking

690
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: at the schedule, I was kind of like, I'm kind

691
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,760
Speaker 1: of excited for that game already. And then my fifth

692
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,240
Speaker 1: will Green Bay and Detroit live up to the hype? Obviously,

693
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: Jordan Love is injured and he said today that you know,

694
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: the plan is a he's optimistic, he thinks he can play,

695
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: and he's probably not gonna be able to practice all week.

696
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: And he's like, yeah, that's clearly not ideal to play

697
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: in a game, especially a big one, when you don't

698
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: practice today, you know, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. But like

699
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: sometimes it's the cookie crumbles that way, right, if you're injured.

700
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: Could Green Bay win this game with Malik Willis? I

701
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: think it's fair to say no, Right, that would be

702
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: like Lafleur's crowning achievement. If he were to beat the

703
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: Lions with Malik Willis, you could argue that's more impressive

704
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: than like resurrecting Rogers. He's like, well, resurrected Rogers, Like

705
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: it's like resurrecting, you know, an all time great player.

706
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: That's impressive. But beating the Lions with Malik Willis they're

707
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,959
Speaker 1: big underdog at home, which was a number that jumped

708
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: out to me right away when I just looked at

709
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: the board yesterday. It's like, I know there's some questionmarks

710
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: with this quarterback, but you're telling me you're getting the

711
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: floor plus three and a half at home. I saw

712
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: a staff today like as a he's like seventeen and

713
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: four in situations of over a field goal, so he's

714
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: covering the spread like Laflor's got a little tom unto

715
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: him when you kind of bet against the Packers and

716
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 1: some of these regular season games. Everyone you know. Goff

717
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: hurt his ankle last week, didn't practice on Wednesday, but

718
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: looks like he's gonna practice on Thursday. I mean, they

719
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: just won a game where he threw for eighty five

720
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: yards and they scored fifty two points, which I don't

721
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: expect them to do with the Packers, but this is

722
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: a freaking awesome game. Who would have thought two years

723
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: ago when Jared Goff outplayed Aaron Rodgers on Sunday Night

724
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: Football and knocked the Green Bay Packers out of the

725
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: playoffs and was the last game that Aaron Rodgers ever

726
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: played for the Green Bay Packers, would a couple of

727
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 1: years later we'd be looking back and they'd be this good. Now.

728
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: Part of that is they've nailed some draft picks. Some

729
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: of the players that were already on their team are

730
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,879
Speaker 1: even better. Obviously Gough has only improved, but I sure,

731
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: you know. It's the cool part about the NFL is

732
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear as the season goes like this is

733
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: a big time matchup and sometimes games I remember I

734
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 1: was so excited everyone in my life. You know, I

735
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,760
Speaker 1: have so many Niner people in my life, Niners, Ravens.

736
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 1: Christmas Night, it was like, God, this is badass. And

737
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: then the Niners got housed. You're like, that sucked. We've

738
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: been waiting all week, everyone's been talking about this Christmas Eve,

739
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: Christmas Day, and then you watch You're like, this can't

740
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: really be happening. It's like, yeah, it's sports. You just

741
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 1: never quite know, and sometimes you get this moments like

742
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,760
Speaker 1: this is badass. It's happened a lot with the Chiefs

743
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. They've played in just some great games.

744
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: I hope this game lives up to the hype, and

745
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: I hope Green Bay, however, their quarterback situation plays out

746
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: that Lafloor can have another Picasso type moment and give

747
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: his team a chance, because if Malik Willis plays and

748
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,439
Speaker 1: they lose by you know, multiple touchdowns. I don't think

749
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,919
Speaker 1: anyone will really be the critical of the Packers. If

750
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: Love plays and he's compromised, I kind of think the

751
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: same thing. But if he's playing and looking good physically,

752
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: I just hope the Packer defense can just come to

753
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,720
Speaker 1: play and we can get a real good game, because

754
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: this could be it's I mean, it's definitely on the

755
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: table of an NFC championship of a divisional round, like

756
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 1: we're probably getting these teams playing depending on how the

757
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: seating shakes out, because only one team can win the division.

758
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: These teams playing three times and even without seeing the

759
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:44,919
Speaker 1: matchup yet this year, sign me up for that. Okay,

760
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 1: let's bang out a couple male bag questions. You guys

761
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: know the drill at John Middlecoff at John Middlecoff is

762
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 1: the Instagram fire in those dms and get your question

763
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: answered here on the show. Do you think Ben Johnson

764
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: regrets not taking the commander job. It's a good question.

765
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: I actually haven't heard anyone bring this up. I don't

766
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: know how that wouldn't cross his mind all the time, right,

767
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,760
Speaker 1: everyone keeps saying he's going to be a hot candidate

768
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 1: this offseason, which he is. I mean, people are gonna

769
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: interview him, but it didn't get that much better than

770
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: that opportunity. Now looking back, right, it's like, oh, well

771
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:29,800
Speaker 1: the Bears fire him? One is that who the Bears

772
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: are going to hire? Like Ryan Poles is going to

773
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:37,320
Speaker 1: hire him over a Mike Vrabel type. I don't know. Obviously,

774
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 1: Kevin Warren will have a say two, but right now

775
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 1: we've got a long way to go. Your career is

776
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:47,399
Speaker 1: not written, but it's jayde Daniels still going to get better.

777
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: And to me, he's on a different level than Caleb.

778
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: Now you can say he's got Cliff, This dude's got Waldron.

779
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: But if you told me you could have one job

780
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,240
Speaker 1: or the other, I think we would all choose that job.

781
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: As it's SAMs today, and just in general, let's just

782
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: say the Bears isn't an option for him. You know

783
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: the Jags like, do you want to coach Trevor Lawrence?

784
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: You want to tie yourself for that guy making two

785
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. It's looking back, pretty incredible opportunity for

786
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: any coach. You know, dan Quinn's career may be completely

787
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: changed and he's been lucky. Right his last job, he

788
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: had Matt Ryan in the peak of his powers, and

789
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: he had some really, really good years. But now he's

790
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 1: got this guy who's twenty three years old and clearly

791
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,839
Speaker 1: really mature, physically gifted, good on the field, like, kind

792
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,959
Speaker 1: of checks every box. So if you turn that job

793
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 1: down and ultimately you do aspire to be a head coach,

794
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 1: who knows maybe he just wants to be a lifelong coordinator,

795
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: make four or five million dollars, I don't know. Not

796
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: a bad gig, but you'd have to have a couple

797
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 1: sleepless nights. Right question for the bag Rader fan here?

798
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: With the trade deadline approaching, I have a thought, did

799
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: the Rooney rule kill the ability to trade for a coach?

800
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: After watching what the Packers head coach has been able

801
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 1: to do this season with Malik Willis, I have to

802
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: ask myself, what is that coach worth? I think I

803
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 1: would trade two first round picks for a coach like that.

804
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: Do you think the NFL would reevaluate the Rooney rule

805
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: or would getting rid of that rule bring much backlash

806
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 1: from the media. I also think that it would be

807
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 1: sweet if you could trade for coordinators too. How much

808
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 1: would the OC for the Lions be worth? Can you

809
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 1: imagine a headline like New York trades a first round

810
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 1: pick for Sauce Gardner to the Lions for their offensive

811
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: coordinator to become the new head coach of the Jets. Well,

812
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. Coordinator you can just hire,

813
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: right if you want the guy to be your head coach,

814
00:44:56,120 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 1: he's a coordinator, you can just hire. I think the

815
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: trading for coaches has nothing to do with the Rooney

816
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: rule ultimately, Like why that never happens because one, you know,

817
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 1: if you go back to Gruden, Al Davis just wouldn't

818
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,439
Speaker 1: pay John Gruden. Like he knew John Gruden was good,

819
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 1: but he was kind of cheap with coaches. If a

820
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: team had the equivalent of John Gruden and the way

821
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: that team was, they were winning a bunch of games,

822
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: they were in the playoffs, they would just give him

823
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 1: an extension. The only reason Sean Payton they had to

824
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,240
Speaker 1: trade picks for him because he quit on the team.

825
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,280
Speaker 1: So if I have a coach, like let's say someone

826
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: called me up, like I want Matt Lafleur. I'm the Jets.

827
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: I want Matt Lafleur to be my head coach. Right,

828
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: I'll pay him twenty five million dollars a year if

829
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm the Jets. Well, if you're the Packers, one he's

830
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: under contract, and two like, we want Matt Lafloor as

831
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:55,879
Speaker 1: our head coach or Sean McVeigh or whoever, Like, we'll

832
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: just pay him a bunch of money and keep him.

833
00:45:58,120 --> 00:45:59,879
Speaker 1: And if he's winning, why would he want to leave?

834
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: The Gruden thing was over money, and the Peytent thing

835
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: was he shorted the roster and wanted out, but couldn't

836
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 1: just leave because he was under contract. I know he says,

837
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 1: I needed to reset. Now you quit on the team,

838
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 1: which is fine, Like, I don't totally blame you. You

839
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: were right, but he clearly didn't want to quit coaching

840
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: because he came back eight months later. So I hear

841
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: what you're saying. It would be cool, but you would

842
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: just keep the coach if he was good, right you

843
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 1: just Hey, what would it take for us to get

844
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell? Right? Like, what if you're the Jags, Like,

845
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: I want Dan Campbell, We'll trade you three first round

846
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 1: picks to the Lions for Dan Campbell. Lions would be

847
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 1: like I'd just rather have Dan Campbell and keep building

848
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: the team that we have. So it's just it was

849
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:59,839
Speaker 1: two very unique situations that I almost think are outliers

850
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: to the profession because now with coordinators, I can just

851
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: I just hire you. I don't need a trade for you.

852
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 1: I was watching the McAfee and they were talking about

853
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 1: the hard Knocks offseason and joked about this, but maybe

854
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 1: there's some weight behind it. Everyone makes fun of the

855
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: Giants for what they released and ask how did they

856
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:24,280
Speaker 1: even approve this? Do you think Mara approved it? Because

857
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: if not signing Saquon backfired on them, it took the

858
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,800
Speaker 1: weight off of him, and he wanted to show everyone

859
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: that it wasn't his decision. I've always thought, because I

860
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: think most people in the league, right if you're a

861
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 1: coach or you're in the front office that watch that,

862
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 1: they're like a r I'm not even talking about the

863
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 1: Marrow moment. I'm just talking about everything. The way day

864
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: Ball and Shane interacted, the way they got ready for

865
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: free agency, the phone calls with the agents. I think

866
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,760
Speaker 1: every GM looked around and looked at like his assistant

867
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: GM and be like, I would you could shoot me

868
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 1: in the leg before I would allow this to happen.

869
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: And then I thought like hard knocks kind of sucks

870
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: now normal hard knocks. Well, why is that? Because the

871
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 1: coaches and gms are very sensitive to the players, right,

872
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 1: they don't want One thing that inspired me to work

873
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 1: in football way back in the day was the raw

874
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 1: hard knocks in the early two thousands. You're like, I

875
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 1: want to be because it was clear. I was like,

876
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 1: I suck at high school football. I'm never playing that.

877
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,839
Speaker 1: I want to be in one of those meetings where

878
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: everyone's just talking shit and just talking about the team.

879
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:43,280
Speaker 1: And I remember the first time I ever got invited

880
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 1: to the meeting at training camp in Philly, I was like,

881
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 1: I've made it because it's a pretty raw meeting. Actually,

882
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 1: ours and Philly weren't really that crazy, but I remember

883
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: there were a couple like Baltimore or some of the

884
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: early ones. It was like, God, this is this is nuts.

885
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 1: Well we don't get that anymore. And the only thing

886
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 1: you do get is like.

887
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 4: Yay, he's really coming on. We're really working on that footwork.

888
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 4: I think little Mikey's got a chance to make the squad.

889
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 4: It used to be like this guy sucks, this guy's awful.

890
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 4: Fuck this guy cut him.

891
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 1: Now my unit sucks. They're like Jesus, this is how

892
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: they talk though, that's still how they talk. We just

893
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 1: don't get access to it. You kind of got that

894
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: version with hard knocks up free agency, and it looked

895
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: like this is not in my experience, that was not

896
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 1: the case. It was a very laid out plan you

897
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 1: meet forever. It just felt very like willy nilly, And

898
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: my theory's always been John Morrill wanted that out to

899
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 1: show like, this is what we're doing. So if I

900
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: have to fire these guys again, don't call me like

901
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: Al Davis twenty ten. I'm not just firing guys every

902
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 1: other year like this is what I try to hire.

903
00:49:56,640 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 1: The right guys from Buffalo, they were winning. All was

904
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:05,439
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's guy. Shane was Brandon Bean's guy. Smart, good

905
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 1: looking guy, good you know, family looks the part, just

906
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 1: skinny in shape. It just seems smart. But it might suck.

907
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. So Yeah, I've always thought John Morrow

908
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,839
Speaker 1: wanted it out there. And I'm not just talking about

909
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 1: the Philly comment. I'm talking about the whole thing, because

910
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: that was that sent shock waves around football. Hell is

911
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 1: shot waves around just fans. You're like, is this serious

912
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: right now? Is this? Am I really watching this? I

913
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,879
Speaker 1: remember thinking in the in the off season, no way,

914
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: I'm watching the Giants hard Knocks. This is gonna be

915
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:47,280
Speaker 1: so boring. And I remember I saw something someone talking

916
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 1: about him, like I was in Tahoe on vacation. It's

917
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: like I need something to watch. It was like eight

918
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 1: o'clock at night, and I'm like, I just threw it on,

919
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: and I remember, like I can't miss another one of

920
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: these episodes kind of came out of nowhere.

921
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 4: Uh.

922
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 1: Maybe not a question for your mailbag, but wondering your

923
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 1: take as a former scout. Someone tells it like it is.

924
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 1: I see a lot of criticism on Richardson's benching, But

925
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:15,720
Speaker 1: why is it assumed by so many that just because

926
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 1: he was picked fourth overall that if he just gets

927
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 1: more time, more playing time, he will develop. If that

928
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: were the case, couldn't you take any great athlete and

929
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 1: make them a good quarterback. I watch a guy like

930
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 1: Party processes to play quickly and make the read. I

931
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 1: know coaches can simplify reading a defense, but it seems

932
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:38,240
Speaker 1: to me part of what part of that is someone's

933
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:43,359
Speaker 1: natural born skills. For example, some people you show a

934
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 1: flashcard to and they immediately recall and visualize the answer.

935
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 1: But you can't teach someone to visualize. As you know,

936
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 1: I've written you saying I think Richardson would always be

937
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 1: a bust. What I see him as a guy who

938
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: locks onto one read, is inaccurate, indecisive, doesn't set up

939
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: well with his feet, and puts the team in bad positions.

940
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,840
Speaker 1: And I see no improvement from him. So why do

941
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:12,479
Speaker 1: people assume with more playing time he will get better.

942
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: I think he might show a little improvement, but I

943
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:19,840
Speaker 1: just don't see him being a starting quarterback because the

944
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:23,760
Speaker 1: only way to improve when you are a raw product

945
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:28,840
Speaker 1: is to play. Now, you are correct, Just because you

946
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: play does not mean you're gonna be good, no matter

947
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:37,320
Speaker 1: how much talent you have. Right, So it is an unknown.

948
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 1: It's why so many of these high draft picks bust,

949
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 1: because so many of them at all these positions. Something's

950
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 1: missing for some guys just work ethic study habits. They

951
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 1: don't you know, they don't understand football, and it's too

952
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: fast for him. Some offensive linemen they're just not strong

953
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 1: enough for they're not fast enough for quarterbacks. It's usually

954
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 1: like I can't process because it's by far the hardest

955
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 1: thing to do in sports. Definitely in football. It's just

956
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:14,840
Speaker 1: be a good quarterback. But the only way to improve

957
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: on processing is to play. But you are correct, just

958
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 1: because you play does not mean processing will improve. So

959
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: remember they took a swing for the fences. They were

960
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:30,879
Speaker 1: not trying to hit like a Kirk Cousin's double. They

961
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 1: were trying to get Cam Newton meets Josh Allen. It's

962
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 1: what they were hoping for. Jalen hurts right most times,

963
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 1: like there's hasn't been too many Cam Newton's. So you're

964
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: watching him and you go, yeah, this is a problem.

965
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:53,240
Speaker 1: I would tend to agree. As we sit here right now.

966
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 1: You can tell me he's twenty two. You can tell

967
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,360
Speaker 1: me he hasn't played. I would bet on him not

968
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 1: being good. I would bet on him not having a

969
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 1: fuel four playing because when do they Let's say Joe

970
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:07,240
Speaker 1: Flacco starts for the rest of the season, stays healthy,

971
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 1: and they win ten or eleven games and they make

972
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 1: the playoffs, Well, what do you do next year? Did

973
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 1: you what the Browns just did and not resigned Flacco

974
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 1: to another one year ten million dollar deal. Do you

975
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 1: just make Anthony Rigesson the starter? What do you tell

976
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor? Yeah, man, I know a sweet winning those

977
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,839
Speaker 1: games and making the playoffs, and hell, we almost want

978
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 1: a playoff game with Flacco tie game in the fourth quarter,

979
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 1: but we're gonna go back to that other day because

980
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 1: we drafted him fourth overall. Do you think Jonathan Taylor

981
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 1: or Michael Pittman, who's literally playing through injuries, or their

982
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 1: core guys on defense, give a shit. They're in a

983
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:48,279
Speaker 1: bad spot. Now, they're in the Trey Lance spot. Now

984
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 1: this guy's better than Trey Lance, which shows you how

985
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 1: low the bar is. But if this goes well, if

986
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,800
Speaker 1: Flacco sucks and they end up winning eight games, or

987
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 1: Flacco is just up and down, and it's like it's

988
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 1: easy to go back to him. But if they end

989
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 1: up with double digit wins and are a wild card team, like,

990
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:09,759
Speaker 1: no one's gonna want to see Anthony Richardson next year.

991
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 1: No one on the team cares that he drafts him

992
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:15,879
Speaker 1: forth overall. And the only chance you have for him

993
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 1: that not to be a wasted pick is to have

994
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 1: him play and improve. And I think it's pretty clear

995
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 1: when you watch him talk. I heard. I was listening

996
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: to Rousillo had Albert Breeran and he says, you know,

997
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 1: you talk to people in the building. He's a pretty

998
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: naive kid. And I think when you saw him talk

999
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:36,760
Speaker 1: after the game, I don't even think he didn't realize

1000
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 1: what he didn't realize even the day on Wednesday morning,

1001
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 1: just his I don't even think he quite understands what's

1002
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: going on. Right. And I've seen a lot of people

1003
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 1: with a lot of theories like we're in the AAU culture.

1004
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 1: You just quit what you want, Like, I don't know,

1005
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: you know, I don't see any quarterbacks in college is

1006
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 1: just tapping their helmet. I don't see Carson Beck when

1007
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 1: shit's hitting the fan, like asking Kirby Smart to come out, Like,

1008
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 1: I think this guy's a little overwhelmed. He's not very good,

1009
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 1: he's exhausted, he's out of shape, he's not accurate. Teams

1010
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 1: struggling when he's playing that.

1011
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:18,759
Speaker 4: He just.

1012
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 1: More often than not, when you do swing for the

1013
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 1: fences at quarterback in the NFL, it does not turn

1014
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:30,839
Speaker 1: into Josh Allen, does not. I mean Cam Newton wasn't

1015
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:32,360
Speaker 1: swing for that. He was the number one pick. But

1016
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:37,840
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, I would say this, and

1017
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:41,840
Speaker 1: again this is low bar here. If you told me tomorrow,

1018
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 1: I can either have Anthony Richardson or Bryce Young, both

1019
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:49,240
Speaker 1: guys who have been benched. Bryce is now playing because

1020
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:52,240
Speaker 1: Dalton got in the car accident, but if Dalton was healthy,

1021
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: Bryce would still be on the bench. I think every

1022
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:58,399
Speaker 1: single human in the league, and I would imagine ninety

1023
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,320
Speaker 1: nine percent of fans you just still take Anthony Richardson

1024
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 1: because there is some stuff there. I do think. I

1025
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 1: think sometimes accuracy is a little innate, like do you

1026
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 1: have any touch? Like clearly Josh Allen, I wouldn't call him,

1027
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:15,319
Speaker 1: you know, Drew Brees, but when he's on, like he's

1028
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 1: got a lot of touch with just lollipop throws and

1029
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 1: wheel routes, like he's he's really really improved there. You

1030
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 1: watch Anthony Richardson, it's like, I don't know, he feels

1031
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:29,439
Speaker 1: like a pitcher in the minor leagues's throwing one hundred

1032
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 1: miles an hour, does not have another pitch and has

1033
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 1: no clue where the pitch is going. It's so yeah,

1034
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 1: you can strike a guy out on three pitches down

1035
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 1: the middle, or he could hit a guy in the

1036
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 1: chin and break his jaw, you know, or throw the

1037
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 1: ball behind the guy. He's like, man, I wasn't trying

1038
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 1: to hitch. I was trying to throw aside an outside slider.

1039
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 1: I think he's got no clue what's going on, which

1040
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 1: is pretty scary if you're Chris Baaler and those are

1041
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 1: the type things that get people fired. You know a

1042
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:00,439
Speaker 1: lot of people defend this crew, but that the type

1043
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 1: move you swung for the fences you've been waiting forever.

1044
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 1: You kind of tank the season to end up there.

1045
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 1: That year you had the fourth overall pick, and this

1046
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 1: guy stinks. You know. Part of the reason it did

1047
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: not torpedo the forty nine ers is because they never

1048
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 1: stopped winning. So the pick was a disaster. They wasted

1049
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 1: all those first round picks that would help them literally

1050
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 1: right now, but they've just won. I mean, they're a

1051
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 1: disaster right now. They're four and four. But the last

1052
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 1: two years with Trey Lance, right, I guess is this

1053
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 1: is fourth year, three years Trey Lance have been in

1054
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 1: the league. First year NFC Championship Game, second year NFC

1055
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: Championship Game, third year Super Bowl. So it's like you

1056
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 1: can't It's like no one really cares. But it's like

1057
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: you look at the Colts, like, what have you done

1058
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 1: since Anthony Richardson. It's like, oh, we missed the playoffs.

1059
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:54,760
Speaker 1: Damn you were that but we were right in until

1060
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 1: the end. It's like, oh, he was that good. Oh

1061
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: actually he didn't play Gardner Minchew did, so yeah, we're

1062
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 1: right the playoff mix again, It's like, oh, how's he playing?

1063
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 1: Actually we had to bench him for Joe Flacco. Like

1064
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 1: you just start kind of saying it out loud. You're like, ugh,

1065
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 1: this is a problem, and a pretty big one because

1066
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 1: unlike the Niners who kind of lucked into party, I mean,

1067
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 1: Flacco is gonna turn forty in January. It's fun to

1068
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 1: talk about him and watch them, but it's not really.

1069
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it could end at any moment. Plus, he

1070
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 1: can't move like he could get hurt. Okay, last question.

1071
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:36,919
Speaker 1: Let's say all the non head coach offensive play call

1072
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 1: callers in football would be up for draft night this second.

1073
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 1: In this imaginary play caller draft, which OC's would go

1074
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: one through ten? In your opinion, I mean, I would

1075
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:53,720
Speaker 1: say that, you know, the best offensive coordinators in the

1076
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 1: league are are head coaches, right McVeigh, Kyle Lafleur Andy,

1077
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure really missing people. Who else is good? Ravens,

1078
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 1: no Bills, No, okay, who Let's just do the top five.

1079
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:13,480
Speaker 1: I would say Ben Johnson would be very very high

1080
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 1: up there. I would say the Ravens and Todd Munkin

1081
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:19,439
Speaker 1: would be very very high up there. I would say

1082
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 1: one guy who has come screaming up the charts would

1083
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 1: be Joe Brady with the Buffalo Bills. I would say

1084
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell's a head coach. Shane Waldron definitely not. I

1085
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: think I know he's having a rough stretch. I think

1086
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 1: Bobby Slowick would be pretty high up there, given what

1087
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 1: he did last year. That's a good question. So I

1088
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 1: would say Ben Johnson would go first. I would imagine

1089
01:00:56,560 --> 01:01:01,680
Speaker 1: Todd Munkin would go second. This is a good question.

1090
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 1: I would imagine Joe Brady would go in the top five.

1091
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 1: Sean Payton, know you know Greg Roman. Everyone hates him,

1092
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 1: but I think he's pretty good. Cleveland, no Vegas, no Jacksonville,

1093
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 1: no Patriots, no Jets, hell no. I'd say, you know

1094
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 1: another guy flying up the charts who's a McVeigh guy

1095
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 1: is Zach Robinson in Atlanta. The Arizona guy. Is it

1096
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 1: Drew Pezzing. Is he the defensive coordinator the offensive coordator?

1097
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 1: I think their offensive coordinator is the bald guy. I

1098
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 1: think he's doing a pretty good job. Really, not that

1099
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 1: many coaches, you know, Kubiak not going great with Spencer

1100
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 1: Rattler and Jake Hayner. Mainly Rattler not my guy. Hater.

1101
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 1: He doesn't even get to start, like, hey, guys, can

1102
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: you start? Hanter? That was a little off the wall.

1103
01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 1: Good question, that's what podcasts are for. Last question here,

1104
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:06,920
Speaker 1: interested in your opinion how poorly run the Carolina Panthers are.

1105
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 1: That Deontay Johnson trade is horrendous negotiating in management. They

1106
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 1: traded a guy who clearly was one of the best

1107
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 1: receivers who's available right now for essentially fifteen picks. They're

1108
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:24,920
Speaker 1: doing a pick swap from like this, I think the

1109
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 1: sixth to the fifth round with the Ravens. I keep

1110
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 1: seeing fifteen picks. I guess there are comp picks in

1111
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 1: that round. That's what changes it. So yeah, I think

1112
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 1: sometimes we overvalue some of these guys, right, Like Keenan

1113
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 1: Allen goes for a fourth rounder, DeVante Adams goes for

1114
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 1: a third rounder. You know, Marii Cooper goes for a

1115
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 1: third rounder they're not getting. Should they have just got

1116
01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 1: a fifth round pick? Yeah? Should they have to flop

1117
01:02:55,120 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 1: picks to make a trade, like, say, Baltimore, this guy, Like,

1118
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:05,400
Speaker 1: do you want this player in your team? We're not.

1119
01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 1: We're giving you the player nothing else. So you give

1120
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 1: us a pick, we give you the player. That's the deal, right,

1121
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 1: I got a cheeseburger, you got five dollars. You give

1122
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 1: me five dollars. I give you the cheeseburger. It's not

1123
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 1: like I have to give you the cheeseburger. You give

1124
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 1: me five dollars and I give you an extra dollar.

1125
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 1: Like what the pick swap thing? I don't quite get that,

1126
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 1: Like just tell them no, like we're not. We'd rather

1127
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:34,480
Speaker 1: just keep the player then, which makes me think, I

1128
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 1: mean the Steelers got rid of him. Can this guy

1129
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,800
Speaker 1: be a little bit of pain? There might be more

1130
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:46,600
Speaker 1: to that. Maybe this team is brat Joe Brady is OC,

1131
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, Brian Burns, DJ Moore, Curtis, Samuel and Darnold

1132
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 1: and Baker all within the last four years and probably

1133
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 1: and is probably the worst roster of my lifetime. That's

1134
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 1: pretty crazy. Thing about Joe Brady now top five pick

1135
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 1: on this fake OC draft. McCaffrey went healthy, is one

1136
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,080
Speaker 1: of the best players in the league. Brian Burns actually

1137
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 1: pretty good. I'd be lying if I said I watched

1138
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 1: that much Panthers the last couple of years, but watch

1139
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 1: them on the Giants. Good player. DJ Moore's a stud. Yeah,

1140
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you. I mean, it sucks, man,

1141
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 1: it really does. It's gonna be you know, the only

1142
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 1: way to get out of a hole is to drop

1143
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 1: the shovel. So it's like they just got to stop

1144
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:42,320
Speaker 1: digging themselves deeper. And this year there's nothing you can do.

1145
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 1: This year, I would trade any player on my team

1146
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:49,600
Speaker 1: that had any value. I would completely start over, which

1147
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:53,280
Speaker 1: sucks to hear, but it's just kind of the reality

1148
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 1: of where you guys are right now. Thanks for listening.

1149
01:04:56,960 --> 01:05:00,920
Speaker 1: Appreciate everyone, audios, have a great day, night or morning.

1150
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 1: The volume mm hmm
