Speaker 1: Instant reaction in what was an ugly performance twenty three
Speaker 1: point fifteen, Miami beats Sean mcvay's La Rams. I've said
Speaker 1: this for a long time, and I don't say it often,
Speaker 1: but I always felt third down was the most underrated
Speaker 1: stat in football. If you're good on third down, it
Speaker 1: tells me so much about your team, your coaching, your
Speaker 1: offensive line. And tonight this game was all about the
Speaker 1: Dolphins being great on third down offensively and even better
Speaker 1: on third down defensively. And they came into this game.
Speaker 1: The Dolphins defense was thirty first in sacks and they
Speaker 1: came into this game and got four or five tonight,
Speaker 1: constant pressure on Stafford. So the Rams offensive line was
Speaker 1: the healthiest it had been all season. Now, Rob Havenstein,
Speaker 1: the right tackle really good, was out and it didn't help,
Speaker 1: but it was the interior line was finally healthy. So
Speaker 1: it was. It was a interesting game in which McVeigh Stafford,
Speaker 1: Kyen Williams pooka Cooper Cup. They're excellent, excellent teams on
Speaker 1: a winning streak. They're at home, Miami had to fly
Speaker 1: cross country, second road game. Everything told to the Rams
Speaker 1: would perform, and the Rams played that was as bad
Speaker 1: as a Sean mcvayh team has played at home healthy
Speaker 1: that I can remember. They did nothing right on third down.
Speaker 1: They also Miami, and I didn't check if they got
Speaker 1: a penalty in the last minute. But they had one
Speaker 1: penalty all night. That's pretty remarkable. You know again, long
Speaker 1: cross country flight, don't have a lot of your fans
Speaker 1: here and just one penalty, great on third down. That's
Speaker 1: your ball game, and you know it's it's I don't
Speaker 1: want to overreact to one game. I don't think either
Speaker 1: of these teams are top ten teams. But I thought
Speaker 1: the Rams were ready. It was a stinker tonight. But
Speaker 1: if you look at Miami's schedule, the Miami Dolphins have
Speaker 1: a lot of winnable games coming up. They're still in
Speaker 1: the playoff race. Raiders, Patriots, Jets twice, Browns, Niners at
Speaker 1: home at Texans, but it's indoor, indoor game two has
Speaker 1: been better at those So the schedule really works out
Speaker 1: for the Miami Dolphins, who, of course got off to
Speaker 1: a rocky start because too I had the concussion. But
Speaker 1: you know, you watch them tonight, you watch the pass
Speaker 1: rush tonight. You know the Rams are such a weird team.
Speaker 1: They did really difficult things. Cooper Cup had one of
Speaker 1: the catches of the year. Stafford had a couple of
Speaker 1: unbelievable gem throws. Yet the simple stuff like hiking the
Speaker 1: Bald to Stafford was a challenge tonight. It was such
Speaker 1: a weird performance, one of the worst Sean McVay healthy
Speaker 1: team performances at home. I remember, just a dud all
Speaker 1: the way around. I will say I noticed somebody online
Speaker 1: was talking about how quiet Sofi Stadium was. And I'm
Speaker 1: not here to defend LA as a sports town. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's the best sports town in the country.
Speaker 1: I think anytime you have a beach San Diego, Los Angeles, Miami,
Speaker 1: the beach becomes a pro sports team you're competing against
Speaker 1: on a nice day. With average teams, people go to
Speaker 1: the beach lots to do in Miami, San Diego and
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, so you know they're teams that are located
Speaker 1: in great weather cities or beach cities are are going
Speaker 1: to bail on average teams faster. And I just think
Speaker 1: that's the reality of it. So you can't call LA
Speaker 1: a bad sports town. They were missing the NFL for
Speaker 1: twenty years, which is just hard to get wrapped your
Speaker 1: brain around. As the second biggest city in the country,
Speaker 1: from nineteen ninety five to twenty fifteen, they didn't have
Speaker 1: the NFL. Well the Washington Nationals, you have the Senators,
Speaker 1: and then that long vacancy for major League baseball in
Speaker 1: DC until the Nationals. Well, guess what, the Nationals don't
Speaker 1: draw right now, the Dodgers draw twice as much as
Speaker 1: the Nationals forty twenty four thousand, and I think, I
Speaker 1: think baseball is a challenge in DC people. It's just
Speaker 1: not part of generations lives. Whereas in Los Angeles they
Speaker 1: a lead Major League Baseball for several years in a row,
Speaker 1: could be a decade straight in attendance. In fact, they
Speaker 1: averaged seven thousand more for Dodger games than any other
Speaker 1: team in baseball, the Yankees, I believe, or second. So
Speaker 1: when you live in Los Angeles, it's an unbelievable baseball town.
Speaker 1: It's the best baseball town I've ever lived in. Yet.
Speaker 1: I lived in Tampa, and I thought it was a
Speaker 1: great college football town, a great NASCAR town, a great
Speaker 1: NFL town, didn't care about basketball, didn't really care about baseball,
Speaker 1: Hockey was hit and miss. But LA is a great
Speaker 1: baseball town, a great NBA town, and it's not. You know,
Speaker 1: the Rams are in the middle of the pack. The Chargers,
Speaker 1: Rams are both in the middle of the pack for attendants.
Speaker 1: But it's not you know, it's just it's it's a
Speaker 1: city that there's a lot to do. It's not an excuse.
Speaker 1: If you look at most great college football towns, they're
Speaker 1: in small towns. You know, Norman, Oklahoma, Athens, Georgia. You
Speaker 1: know that's that's ann Arbor, Michigan. There's just not as
Speaker 1: much to do. And therefore, you know, the local university
Speaker 1: is really the entertainment center. You may have, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, a local theater, place to go watch some
Speaker 1: plays occasionally or something, but it's like, you know, the
Speaker 1: teams are the local entertainment. And in Los Angeles, you know,
Speaker 1: it's you just got so much stuff going on here,
Speaker 1: so you have to be good and you have to
Speaker 1: be exciting. So I don't want to bang on Los
Speaker 1: Angeles as a sports down or Miami. I mean, Miami's
Speaker 1: got the best beaches in the country. You know, the
Speaker 1: Dolphins when they're playing well, draw well. The Miami Heat
Speaker 1: have drawn well. It's a tough baseball city, I don't think,
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, Arizona and Miami and the
Speaker 1: state of Florida didn't have baseball for a long time.
Speaker 1: Why it's too hot. I mean, there was a reason
Speaker 1: that you know, spring training. Spring training was in the
Speaker 1: state of Florida, but not major League Baseball teams forever.
Speaker 1: It's too damn hot, and so it's weird in a
Speaker 1: warm day to go inside. I mean, I just again,
Speaker 1: I think I look at SOFI Stadium, Rams, Chargers both
Speaker 1: draw Okay, I think going forward, the Chargers with Harball
Speaker 1: will draw better. I think the are about a year away,
Speaker 1: another draft away from being a really special team if
Speaker 1: Stafford stays around. He's thirty six years old. But it's hard,
Speaker 1: you know. You look at LA and Miami and people
Speaker 1: just crap on them as sports cities. You don't have
Speaker 1: a beach, you don't have their weather, you don't have
Speaker 1: the options. So you know, that's just you know, you
Speaker 1: go to cold weather cities like Buffalo, yes they're great
Speaker 1: sports fans, or Green Bay, there's not a lot to
Speaker 1: do there, especially in the fall. In the winter it
Speaker 1: gets cold, you're gonna either sit inside and watch your
Speaker 1: team on television or are you gonna go to the game.
Speaker 1: So just just defending towns with great weather, cities with
Speaker 1: great Mediterranean weather and beaches and lots of options, you know,
Speaker 1: I was. It was a crazy weekend. So this weekend
Speaker 1: I saw Bonecks outplay Patrick Mahomes at Arrowhead Stadium. I
Speaker 1: watched really the rebirth of Russell Wilson. I watched Drake
Speaker 1: May with no talent, outplay Caleb Williams with lots of
Speaker 1: offensive talent. I watched both with Kyle shanahan and Sean
Speaker 1: McVeigh out coached by Todd Bowles and Mike McDaniel. It
Speaker 1: was a great underdog weekend. And I officially believe the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys are the worst team in the NFL. I
Speaker 1: think Carolina and the Giants are slightly better. So it
Speaker 1: was just a it was a crazy week and it
Speaker 1: was in college football as well. It's hard to get
Speaker 1: you wrap your brain around how bad Georgia was against
Speaker 1: Old Miss, But I don't, you know. I think when
Speaker 1: you look at the NFL today, we think there's more
Speaker 1: movement at the top of the league than there really is.
Speaker 1: My favorite teams right now Kansas City, Buffalo, Baltimore, Detroit, Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: San Francisco's close, Pittsburgh's a bit of a surprise. Chargers
Speaker 1: with Harby I think are somewhere in that seven eight
Speaker 1: six seven eight slot. But it was It's just it's
Speaker 1: the NFL gives you mostly what you think is zany
Speaker 1: weekly result, and this was a strange weekend. But if
Speaker 1: you look at the divisions, best coaches and best quarterbacks
Speaker 1: are winning it. The Emirates NBA Cup is here. You

Speaker 1: You know another thing I thought about. I'm interviewing Jim
Speaker 1: Gray tomorrow for the Paul Tyson Fight on Netflix, and
Speaker 1: I was discussing this with my wife. I said, I really,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure who's going to win the fight. Kobe
Speaker 1: Bryant's last game, he was unstoppable, you know. Brett Farv
Speaker 1: in his last season had unbelievable plays. We love to
Speaker 1: sort of cancel out or get rid of star athletes,
Speaker 1: but in my years of talking to or watching aged
Speaker 1: pro athletes, is that even the ones that don't take
Speaker 1: great care of themselves or the ones that age quickly,
Speaker 1: they still have moments. And I look at Mike Tyson,
Speaker 1: and I look at his training, and the other day
Speaker 1: I saw a clip I watched about two three minutes
Speaker 1: on YouTube his training, and Mike Tyson could knock out
Speaker 1: ninety nine out of one hundred tough guys at UFC.
Speaker 1: You know, they got into a boxing match, he'd knock
Speaker 1: out ninety nine of one hundred on the first punch.
Speaker 1: I mean he's he's not a UFC fighter, but I
Speaker 1: mean Mike's training. Mike's a pro athlete, and I think
Speaker 1: sometimes we just forget how how much different pro athletes are.
Speaker 1: You know, I'll talk to Drew Bledsoe, who's a friend.
Speaker 1: Drew Bledsoe right now could spin a forty yard ball
Speaker 1: out route on a dime. He wouldn't go through camp,
Speaker 1: he wouldn't take it hits very well. He's lost the
Speaker 1: ability to train at a high level for long periods
Speaker 1: of time. But give him a football, let him spin
Speaker 1: it down the field, give him a few warm up tosses.
Speaker 1: He looked like he plays in the NFL today. And
Speaker 1: I always tell the story of years and years ago,
Speaker 1: I was watching a show. It was like a Saturday afternoon,
Speaker 1: and it was just it was a make believe show.
Speaker 1: I thought it was so fun to watch because I
Speaker 1: played flag football like many of you did in college.
Speaker 1: And they took it was three on three flag football.
Speaker 1: They took the National champions, three guys from San Diego
Speaker 1: and they play all the time. And they took three
Speaker 1: old NFL players. Now I remember James Lofton was one
Speaker 1: of the NFL players. He'd been retired for years. I
Speaker 1: think the quarterback was Ken O'Brien apologies to can if
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, and it was Kellen Winslow. I think. So
Speaker 1: they took these old guys, you know, they got little.
Speaker 1: You know, they're retired, they're old or in their forties,
Speaker 1: and they'd never practice or played three on three football
Speaker 1: flag football ever. So and these other guys were athletic,
Speaker 1: they were good athletes. They were athletic. And one practice
Speaker 1: for the National Champions against three old NFL guys and
Speaker 1: the NFL guys beat him. And so now if they'd
Speaker 1: have played for four hours, maybe the three on you know,
Speaker 1: the three man amateur team would have won. But you
Speaker 1: start going to these last couple of games. I mean,
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was forty five years old and could still
Speaker 1: spin it to the very end. So I think about
Speaker 1: that with Paul and Mike Tyson. Paul's a big, tough guy,
Speaker 1: a YouTuber. When I've watched him fight, he didn't have
Speaker 1: a lot of natural fighting talent. He's a big, strong,
Speaker 1: tough guy who's worked very hard at it. I think
Speaker 1: you have to take him seriously. I respect the fact
Speaker 1: that he's worked his butt off. Mike Tyson looks like
Speaker 1: a pro athlete, an old pro athlete. So my tape.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong on this. I could be completely wrong
Speaker 1: on this, but my takeaway is all it's gonna take
Speaker 1: is one combination by Tyson. If he lands a left
Speaker 1: the chin of Paul's out, Paul can hit Tyson. Tyson's
Speaker 1: a small moves pretty well. When I watched his training footage,
Speaker 1: Paul comes in without just a bruising right. But I
Speaker 1: just can't get away from the fact that when I
Speaker 1: watched Mike Tyson's video, as long as this fight is
Speaker 1: on the up and up, I just now I think
Speaker 1: Mike will be very, very good in the first round,
Speaker 1: maybe in the second. If the thing goes to a
Speaker 1: third round, then all of a sudden, you know, Mike
Speaker 1: sixty one, he gets exhausted, his hands are down, and
Speaker 1: maybe Paul's in better shape he should be at his age.
Speaker 1: But I just never doubt pro athletes. They're different than
Speaker 1: you and I. I mean, I've gone, you know, I've
Speaker 1: gone to events in my life pro ams or I
Speaker 1: used to do this Disney weekend at ESPN and then'd
Speaker 1: be all sorts of pro athletes, and you know, obviously
Speaker 1: covered him for a long time. And one of the
Speaker 1: things Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson one of the things
Speaker 1: when I when I see pro athletes, Andrew Whitworth walks
Speaker 1: into my studio or you know, I had a Dodger
Speaker 1: pitcher Jack Fairdy the other day. They're always much bigger
Speaker 1: than they look on TV. Like, I've never stood next
Speaker 1: to a human being as big as Andrew Whitworth. He
Speaker 1: is an effortless sixty seven. At his playing weight was
Speaker 1: three ten. And it's not like he was fat. He
Speaker 1: was six seven, three ten without a belly. He was
Speaker 1: just a gigantic man, just genetically. It's you know, it's
Speaker 1: not he wasn't a guy on steroids or you know,
Speaker 1: Jim Ratt where you thought it was artificial or synthetic muscle.
Speaker 1: It's just big. He's just a big guy. You know.
Speaker 1: He used three hundred and ten pounds and a flat stomach,
Speaker 1: big hands, big shoulders. So I don't know. I Jake Paul,
Speaker 1: I wish you the very very best. I really do, Jake.
Speaker 1: I think your pursuit of this, your aspiration of this,
Speaker 1: is redeemable, very worthy of praise. A lot of people
Speaker 1: have criticized you. I really think you care about it.
Speaker 1: But if Mike connects in the first two rounds, it
Speaker 1: is goodnight and goodnight. The volume Thursday Night Football is on.
