8
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: should be. We had it Wednesday, we had it Thursday.

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 2: We had it in triplicate on Saturday. Football, football, football,

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: and more football. And we want even more football. But

11
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: Saturday featured three NFL games, and the people are already

12
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 2: talking about perhaps this Broncos Bengals game being the game

13
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: of the year. I don't know about all that. I

14
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: don't think it was a very artistic game. It had

15
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: some drama and some dumb, non thinking plays in high

16
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: leverage moments, and by the way, a huge day the

17
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: playoff implications though, and the Chargers clinched their spot in

18
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: the tournament, the Bengals kept their postseason alive, and so

19
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 2: it was kind of a wild day. When you add

20
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 2: it all up, and there's this narrative that's crept into

21
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 2: the group think Echo Chamber the last week or two

22
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 2: and heading into Saturday, that you know the Bengals are

23
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: We're a seven to eight team, right, But all we

24
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: keep hearing is, oh, no one wants to play the Bengals.

25
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: No one wants to play the Bengals. Who wants to

26
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: play the Bengals? No one wants to play This guy

27
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: said it, and they said it, and she said it,

28
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 2: and he said it, and another person said it, and

29
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: no one wants to play the Bengals. Really, well, let's

30
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: translate that no one really looks forward to getting on

31
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: the field against Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow is playing better

32
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: than any quarterback in the NFL, and that's not debatable.

33
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: He doesn't wow you the way Josh Allen does because

34
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: with size, he doesn't have the elite, twitchy at leticism

35
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: of Lamark Jackson, and he doesn't have quite the kind

36
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 2: of magic that Patrick Mahomes has. But you can make

37
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: a case that no quarterback in the league plays the

38
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: position with respect to what the NFL requires than Joe Burrow.

39
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: Despite having major surgery on his throwing hand this offseason,

40
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: Burrow is by far playing the best football of his career.

41
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 2: He's good. He's now thrown at least three touchdown passes

42
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 2: in eight straight games, and against the Broncos he threw

43
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: for over four hundred scored four touchdowns. This was a

44
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 2: must win game for the Bengals. If they would have lost,

45
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: the only way they would be going to the playoffs

46
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 2: is if they bought a ticket. It was the second

47
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: time since Week ten now that Burrough's thrown for over

48
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: four underd yards with four or more touchdowns without a turnover.

49
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: That's only happened two other times this season by the

50
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: rest of the quarterbacks in the entire National Football League.

51
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 2: Burrow's done it twice since Week ten. Burrow now has

52
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: four two touchdowns this season, two more on the ground.

53
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: He's three hundred and fifty nine passing yards to eclipse

54
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: five thousand. You would presume he would get that next

55
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: week against Pittsburgh, and there's a good chance he would

56
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: finish the year with a completion percentage of over seventy percent.

57
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 2: That's for the entire year. Burrow is a master class

58
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 2: at the football at the quarterback position as what it

59
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 2: pertained as what it is required to be in the

60
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: National Football League, and he's one of the league's deadliest passers,

61
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 2: not just this year, but any year. You just got

62
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: to watch him and re rerun the tape to really

63
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: appreciate what he does. Now, we get it. The Bengals

64
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: still need a lot of help to make the twenty five,

65
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: twenty four to twenty five postseason, but the fact that

66
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: they're at least in a meaningful Week eighteen game is

67
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: pretty amazing considering how started, how slow they started the year.

68
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: Burrow just turned twenty eight years old. He seems to

69
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: improve every year. He might not gain be the most

70
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: physically gifted all He's plenty physically gifted, but not the

71
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: most physically gifted in the league in terms of size, speed, twitchiness, magic,

72
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: But you'd be hard pressed to say that anybody is

73
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: playing better than him right now. So see, the narrative is,

74
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 2: if you're going to put together a defensive game plan

75
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: to stop Joe Burrow, you better pack a lunch. But

76
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: to Cincinnati Bengals, are they really well coached? They make

77
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: dumb high school mistakes. If Chase Brown was paid by

78
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: the mistake, and I get that he's been a valuable

79
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: asset to the Bengals this year, but if he was

80
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: paid by the mistake, he'd have his choice of a

81
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: of a a a luxury five hundred million dollars yacht

82
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 2: twenty four hours at at his you know, twenty four

83
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 2: to seven at his disposal, or a private plan at

84
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 2: his disposal, or he would have Elon Muskmow in his law. First,

85
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 2: he doesn't run out of bonds with a couple of

86
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 2: minutes to go, which keeps the clock and plenty of

87
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: time for Denver to have around. At Cincinnati, Drove with

88
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 2: the score seventeen seventeen ninety seconds to go in the game.

89
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 2: Then with the Bengals on the you know, first and

90
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 2: goal at the five, you got one time out. Denver's

91
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 2: got one time out. You take a knee, they use

92
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 2: their time out, You take two more in eaes, you

93
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: line up, you kick what's basically an old timing extra point.

94
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 2: But no, the Bengals hand the ball off and Chase

95
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 2: Brown decided one dumb mistake wasn't enough in a high

96
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 2: leverage moment. Let's make another one. He curls around. They

97
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: lost contained, Denver lost contain. He burls toward the end zone.

98
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: Oh he's going in the score, Okay, well, well whatever.

99
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: Then all of a sudden, he decides midstream to engage

100
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 2: in his awkward half slide at the one yard line

101
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 2: instead of going for the touchdown in an attempt to

102
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 2: stop the clock, only to get himself injured in the

103
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 2: process because he didn't know what the hell he was

104
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: doing and he was so late in the decision making

105
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: process that it was one of those in Betwen Tweeners,

106
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 2: the kind high school JV player makes when he's running

107
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 2: into second base and said, should I slide or not? No,

108
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna slide. Then to the last menu, do

109
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 2: this half assed slide and you break your ankle. Okay,

110
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 2: a slide as a controlled stop. You make your decision

111
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: to slide, you just slide. You make the decision before

112
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: you get there. And it's always better to slide than

113
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 2: to stand up, and it's always better to make the

114
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 2: decision early. But Chase Brown didn't get that, and in

115
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: doing so, not only did he get hurt. Maybe he's okay.

116
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 2: It put the game in jeopardy. It stopped the clock.

117
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: Denver had called that last time out, but because there

118
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 2: was an injury timeout, Denver got that time out. Then

119
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 2: the next play, fans continued to be in disbelief. Joe

120
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 2: Burrow runs through for a touchdown, which made Chase Brown's

121
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 2: decision to slide at the one yard line seem completely futile.

122
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: What the hell are you idiots doing? And who's in

123
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: charge of this mess? I like Zach Taylor, But Zack,

124
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 2: you had a bad day. So Chase Brown literally got

125
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 2: hurt for nothing. This is incredible, This is unforgivable. So

126
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 2: if they were gonna score anyway, what was the point

127
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 2: that Chase Brown doing that? Did they communicate he hurt himself,

128
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 2: not scoring, just fer Burrow to sneak in for a touchdown.

129
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: And you know the good news is Chase Brown wrecked

130
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 2: his ankle to save three seconds and restore Denver's timeout. Denver,

131
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: then he ended up getting the ball back and you

132
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: saw how this sam in overtime. So if you're telling

133
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: me the group think agat no almost to play Denver?

134
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: He said, he must be right. No one wants to

135
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 2: play Denver or play Cincinnati. No one wants to play Cincinnati. Really.

136
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 2: First of all, let's be let's be honest here. Okay,

137
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: Cincinnati can make the playoffs, but look it's they're in

138
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: a really rough spot. They need to beat the Steelers

139
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 2: next week, and they need the Broncos to lose to

140
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 2: Kansas City, and I don't know, I don't know who

141
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: canties to start a quarterback. They might march Lenny Dawson

142
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 2: out there. I doubt they're going to play their starters

143
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: very long, and it will be, in fact, the proverbial

144
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 2: meaningless game. But the Bengals first have to win, and

145
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: then the Broncos have to lose, and then the Dolphins

146
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: and Colts all have to lose at least one of

147
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: their final two games for Cincinnati do advance. That's all

148
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: all right. It's you know, Miami plays the Browns and

149
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 2: the Jets, Indianapolis visits the happless New York Giants, and

150
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 2: then they host the Jacksonville Jaguars. So yeah, it could

151
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: have happened. Stranger things have happened. Sure, Bob Buker once

152
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: hit a home run off Sandy Kofax, but that was

153
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 2: like sixty five years ago. I don't think we're doing

154
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 2: to have something that's strange happened. So I'm not buying that.

155
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: I liked the Bengals I but after what I saw today,

156
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 2: they're so heavily relying on how was this team seven

157
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: to eight, another eight and eight when you got a

158
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 2: quarterback like Burrow. And now you know, they look like

159
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 2: a drunk crossing an icy street in high leverage moments.

160
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 2: And they've been doing it all year. And by the way,

161
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 2: their defense is not good. It's not good. It's nowhere

162
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 2: near the lou Anarirumo defense that took the Rams to

163
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 2: task in the Super Bowl three years ago. By the way,

164
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 2: you better sign up T. Higgins to a long term contract.

165
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 2: I get he's a bit of a flawed player. He's

166
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 2: missed a lot of career games. He's not a burner,

167
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 2: he's not a great separator. However, he's about to become

168
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: an unrestricted free agent and there are a dozen teams

169
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 2: in the NFL that will pay him thirty million dollars.

170
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 2: Chargers would, Steelers would. I bet the Raiders would. They

171
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 2: got the cap space. And if you haven't watched the Bengals,

172
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 2: you don't know that they really rely on T. Higgins

173
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 2: a lot. He's one of the top five players in

174
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 2: the entire roster. He's tremendous and critical situations. He caught

175
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 2: three tds Saturday in the win against the Broncos and

176
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 2: In the final drive of the game, he caught a

177
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 2: thirty one yard pass down the sideline, kept his feeding

178
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: over the shoulder Williams vic wartzen fifty four to keep

179
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 2: the Bengals at the Denver three yard line, and then

180
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 2: the next play he caught a game winning touchdown to

181
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 2: keep Cincinnati's playoff hopes alive. That's what you call making

182
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: good plays in high leverage situations. You better sign t Higgins.

183
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 2: That's your Cincinnati Bengals update. And we may talk Bengals

184
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 2: later in the show, but please, if I hear one

185
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: more time, well, oh man almost to play the Bengals,

186
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 2: who wants to play this team? It kid me, whoa,

187
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 2: I'm taking a hostage or I'm doing something I don't know.

188
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 2: I'll figure something out. I might just kill myself with

189
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 2: a chainsaw because I'm already hearing that. Michigan as coming up.

00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,760

217
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me on.

218
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 2: Good to have you back. And we'll do it again

219
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 2: during the playoffs. But before I dive into this weekend, well,

220
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 2: you know Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, this is a

221
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 2: time of year week seventeen and eighteen where you find

222
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 2: yourself doing a lot of situational handicapping. Some teams have

223
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 2: playoff implications, some teams are done. Some teams sit their starters,

224
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 2: some teams don't. Some of them are motivated. What are

225
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: some of the basic tenants you employ to find those

226
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,359
Speaker 2: angles to create or you know, exploit maybe a market inefficiency.

227
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say the biggest one, Bernie, and you

228
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 3: saw it a little bit today is when you've got

229
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 3: teams that just absolutely need to win to get into

230
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 3: the playoffs. Think about the rams, for example, paying a

231
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 3: team like Arizona who's absolutely out of the playoffs. They

232
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 3: have nothing to play for. You know, you start, you

233
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 3: start paying a tax, you know from a point spread

234
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 3: standpoint on these teams, Rams were probably favored a little

235
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 3: bit higher than you know, what they probably should have been.

236
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 3: You could say the same thing for the Chargers. Now,

237
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 3: obviously the Chargers came through in that role today. Uh,

238
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 3: you know, the Dolphins were kind of like that and

239
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 3: I've got them Inji. So that line came way down today.

240
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 3: But you know, when you're when you're looking at a

241
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 3: team who has to win, playing a team who's absolutely

242
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: out of the playoffs, that line is going to be

243
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 3: higher than what it should be. And you've got to

244
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 3: be very careful with that if you're looking to play

245
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 3: that team. And as long as that underdog team is

246
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 3: playing in you know, at least in good spirits in

247
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 3: terms of playing thinking like a Carolina for example, you

248
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 3: know you can possibly take a shot with a team

249
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 3: like that.

250
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 2: No, it's an excellent point. You will pay that tax

251
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: and you'll know when you see it. And I think

252
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 2: some people I respect a lot. We're on Arizona today

253
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 2: and they gave everything the Rams, and they gave them

254
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 2: a real skill. Uh. And ironically, Scott, this has been

255
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 2: a year that's been very profitable for favorite betters, even

256
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 2: favorites this week or four and two, uh, Cincinnati. I

257
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 2: thought Denver would hang that number. We saw what happened there.

258
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 2: Any final takeaways from today's triple hitter before we dive

259
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 2: into the remaining ten games.

260
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 3: You know that I heard you. I heard your opening monologue,

261
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 3: and I thought that was great. I think the one

262
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 3: thing that I haven't really heard anybody speak about is

263
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 3: Sean Payton was using his timeouts in overtime as Cincinnati

264
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 3: was making that drive where they ultimately missed the field goal.

265
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 3: And I didn't really understand why he was doing that,

266
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 3: because this isn't like the fourth quarter where okay, we

267
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 3: stop him to kick a field goal, we get the ball,

268
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 3: we you know, we're going to save ourselves two minutes

269
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 3: to come back down and try to tie it. When

270
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 3: they kicked that field goal, the game's over. And so

271
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 3: by using those time offs, they weren't they weren't really

272
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 3: going to be able to do something to get the

273
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 3: ball back, and then ultimately when they got the ball back,

274
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 3: they didn't need to do anything because a tie was

275
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 3: going to work absolutely perfect for them. So they you know,

276
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 3: effectively kept another call it a minute or so on

277
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 3: the clock by using no time out. I don't understand

278
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 3: why he did that, because as you saw, they were

279
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 3: just playing to get a first down and try to

280
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 3: end the game once they got the ball back. So

281
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 3: I did go interested. I don't know if anyone asked

282
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 3: Peyton that question, but I don't think that helped their

283
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 3: cause by him, you know, doing that either.

284
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: I'm in agreement. There was a you know, the lack

285
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 2: of situational awareness in some of these games today by

286
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: top down thinkers. Really it was a head scratcher. And

287
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 2: then they come out and throw the ball on first

288
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 2: and second down. They moved the chains three times, go

289
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 2: past midfield, tie the game first of all, they're in

290
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 2: the playoffs, and then nack Cincinnati O. But that's a

291
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 2: conversation for a different day. Or let's look to Sunday's

292
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 2: slate Scott Philly Land seven and a half against Dallas,

293
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 2: game I will not be involved in. But you know,

294
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: the host in this series is ten and one in

295
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: the last eleven. I could not grab the points. But

296
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: I don't want to lay him either.

297
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 3: Your thoughts, Yeah, I'm with you on that, Bernie. I'm

298
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 3: not gonna lay it because you know what we saw

299
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 3: last week, you know, with the replacement quarterback, and there

300
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 3: was not real good.

301
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 2: Now.

302
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 3: The problem is, you know, I've actually been kind of

303
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 3: impressed by the Cowboys. You could argue they should have

304
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 3: I did one four to five. They maybe could have

305
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 3: won five in a row. They lost that Monday night

306
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 3: game against Cincinnati. But there's no CD Lamb now, so

307
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 3: you know, and so you've lost your best offensive playmaker

308
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 3: and Philadelphia defense is still very good. I don't know

309
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 3: what you're gonna get from them offensively. I think the

310
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 3: weather's going to be maybe a little bit of a

311
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 3: factor as well. Nothing for me in this game.

312
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're in agreement. Let's go to the Battle of

313
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: New York. I'll joke, although the Jets play in New Jersey,

314
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: the Jets visit Buffalo and they're catching ten points. And

315
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 2: I won't give you my long winded reason why, Scott,

316
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 2: I can't lie. I held my nose. I actually grabbed

317
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: the points.

318
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 3: Your thoughts, I kind of like that, Bernie. I've got this.

319
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 2: You know.

320
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 3: I'm kind of waiting and I haven't played the game

321
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 3: that I just want to see who is in and

322
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 3: out for the Jets tomorrow. It looks like Devanda Adams,

323
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 3: who was questionable is going to play.

324
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: So that's good.

325
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 3: But you know, I've got this line closer right now

326
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 3: with the current personnel that I think will play at

327
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 3: about seven. So I think intends a little bit of

328
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 3: a gift. And I'll tell you this, Bernie, a little

329
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 3: situation out there that has worked year after year after

330
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 3: year when you get a team who is laying four

331
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 3: or more points at home. In the case of Buffalo here,

332
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 3: they've won exactly two games, and they're playing a team

333
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 3: who at least did not lose by more than thirteen

334
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 3: points the previous week, so they're not coming in in

335
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 3: a just a terrible environment. Those dogs do extremely well

336
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 3: because and a team that's under five hundred I should

337
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 3: slay as well. So you're playing a really bad team.

338
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 3: Buffalo's just won two games. Toss the overlook the Jets

339
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 3: a little bit, yea, the divisional rivalry and all that,

340
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 3: But you know, Buffalo doesn't have a lot to play

341
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 3: for here. I guess they could maybe still slip possibly

342
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 3: to the third seat, but you know, there's not a

343
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 3: lot of them to play for. They do get a

344
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 3: couple of defensive guys back, but they're still missing some

345
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 3: defensive guys. I think it's a lot of points. And

346
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 3: you know, they've been all over the place this year,

347
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 3: but it's been relatively competitive, even in the mess that

348
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 3: they've been all year long, in the games that they've

349
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 3: played for the most part.

350
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 2: And I would tell you my moles are telling me

351
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers actually wants to come back. I don't know

352
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 2: that he will, but it's not a zero. And you know,

353
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 2: I don't know what the preseason send off line was

354
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: back at the Westgate, but I garret when T was

355
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 2: in ten. But I look at Buffalo, Scott, this is

356
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 2: a highly capable team. They've beaten Detroit, they've beaten Kansas City.

357
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 2: They're on the short list. Do I think they're going

358
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl? I don't think anybody's getting going

359
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 2: through airhead winning. That's and again another conversation. Here's what

360
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 2: I am seeing though, a team that's a little mentally fatigued.

361
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 2: And there's another Buffalo taxi paying because they've been blowing

362
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 2: people out another game. I can't lie. I held my

363
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 2: nose and grab The Saints are now catching two. They

364
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 2: were shut out last week, and in the history of

365
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 2: the NFL, Scott, if you're shut out and you come

366
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 2: home for a home game the following week and you're

367
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: a dog. You're covering about seventy four percent of the time.

368
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 2: I don't get the Raiders laying points on the road.

369
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 2: Maybe you can explain that to me.

370
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, my number is probably favor of the Raiders,

371
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 3: just slightly. I think I got it by about two

372
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 3: and a half points. Here's the thing, and I thought

373
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 3: at one point maybe I'm going to play the Saints.

374
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 3: My only problem is you got Spencer Rattler. You know,

375
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 3: he looked okay against Washington, not so good last week

376
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 3: again screen Bay. But they are down, they're starting running.

377
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 3: Ba Kamara's not going to play. They alave they activated,

378
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 3: but they're not going to play him. So they are

379
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 3: down multiple receivers. They lost their center. He is now

380
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 3: out for the rest of the year. He's their best

381
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 3: offensive lineman. They lost their left guard, it might've even

382
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 3: been their second left guard. So they're just really, really

383
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 3: really beat up. Right now, Do you want to do

384
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 3: anything with the Raiders?

385
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 2: No?

386
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 3: Not really right, I mean, you know quite frankly, Bernie,

387
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 3: if you kind of like the Saints there, just knowing

388
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 3: you're sitting at a total of thirty seven. The line's

389
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 3: favoring the Raiders by two right now, he's that thing up.

390
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 3: Grab yourself, you know, eight and a half points then,

391
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 3: and you should feel pretty good about that.

392
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 2: I think absolutely no, No, I'm considered that heavily, heavily

393
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 2: as a teaser partner, and I may yet well fire

394
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 2: on that. I have to find a quality partner right now.

395
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 2: I'm looking at Green Bay. We're gonna get to that

396
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 2: game in a minute for a tease. Colts laying seven

397
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 2: and a half on the road against the New York Giants.

398
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson will not play. I'm okay with Flacco coming

399
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 2: off the bench and playing in this game, and I

400
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 2: think the I think the Colts win. I'm not betting

401
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 2: the game. I can't grab the points or lay the points,

402
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 2: but it's a game I'll watch from the standpoint of

403
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 2: AFC playoff picture.

404
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I've got the game line basically where the

405
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 3: numbers app So, you know, fair line for me. I

406
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 3: rate Flacco and Richardson almost the same. They're completely different players,

407
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 3: of course, completely different players, but you know, I think

408
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 3: half doesn't here, Half doesn't they are you know, if

409
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 3: you want to seek teasers. You know, you tease the

410
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 3: Colts out to one and a half as well, you know,

411
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 3: get them under three, and maybe that's the way to

412
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 3: play that game. The Giants. I mean, you know, as

413
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 3: I said earlier, you want to get on a team

414
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 3: that's still playing and has something to play for. They

415
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 3: got so many injuries and they just seem like they've

416
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 3: quit on the year. It's just very, very hard to

417
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 3: trust them. And if the Colts run the ball again

418
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 3: like they did last week, you know they're they're gonna

419
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 3: steamroll right over the Giants.

420
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 2: Scott, this game I'm going to bring up now is

421
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 2: certainly qualifies as a teaser partner. Play the Bucks Tampa

422
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 2: Bay Bucks Lane nine and a half against Carolina. You'd

423
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 2: probably do a seven point teaser, but that doesn't really

424
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 2: bother me. Here's the thing. I think Tampa Bay wins

425
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 2: this game by double digits. There's lots of things that

426
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 2: favor them, and Carolina hasn't beaten a team in the

427
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 2: winning record two and a half years. Your thoughts on

428
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay Carolina?

429
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, do you know, Bernie, I'm in the

430
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 3: Las Vegas Review Journal where we do five paces every

431
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 3: week and get the spread thankfully Rightnam in first place

432
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 3: by half game in that and this was my fifth game.

433
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 3: It was my fifth game, not you know, not my

434
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 3: first or second selection. Laying the points of the Buccaneers.

435
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 3: I've got this thing lined at about ten. So we

436
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 3: got a little bit of value here with Tampa Bay.

437
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 3: And I've been on Carolina a lot at home, you know,

438
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 3: they've been at home four the last five weeks or so.

439
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 3: Was on him last week, was on him a few

440
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 3: weeks before that, was on him against Tampa Bay back

441
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 3: in Carolina a few weeks ago. But Carolina is really

442
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 3: banged up right now. And you know, I was looking

443
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 3: at this a little bit earlier in the week. I

444
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 3: had this line closer at about six and a half

445
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 3: or seven. But then when you know I do player ratings,

446
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 3: and when you start looking at all these injuries that

447
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 3: Carolina's face with right now, guys that are not playing,

448
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 3: that brought this line up to ten. So yeah, I

449
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 3: would lean towards Tampa Bay. It's minus eight in the paper.

450
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 3: When I took it, I like that number. Again, it

451
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 3: was a fifth pick. I had to make a decision,

452
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 3: and so I'm in line with you in that.

453
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 2: Game I'm gonna go on on a limits you say

454
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 2: it's a double did you win? Remember Tampa Bay got

455
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 2: tripped up as a road favorite at Dallas last week.

456
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 2: They're pissed off, they're motivated. For me, just my personal opinion,

457
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 2: this is one of those situational handicaps. You're going to

458
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 2: extremely motivated Tampa Bay team and a Carolina team that's

459
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: really truly playing out the string. Miami Cleveland not really

460
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 2: much to talk about there. The Dolphins, a three point

461
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 2: favorite on the road, doesn't look like two is going

462
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 2: to play. Miami has very scant playoff folks, but I

463
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 2: mean very scant. Not a game I'm going to be

464
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 2: involved in your thoughts.

465
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 3: You know the Browns, they were six and a half

466
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 3: in that contest line. So I did take Cleveland on

467
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 3: that knowing that A two probably was not going to play.

468
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 3: It was doubtful. They got some other injuries too that

469
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 3: you know, they couldn't end up missing a few other guys.

470
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 3: And it's going to be extremely windy there. So you

471
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 3: know we're looking at dtr He's not a very good quarterback.

472
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 3: But you know, this just becomes a run game. I

473
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 3: think it also, you know brings us a little bit

474
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 3: to a more level playing field for Cleveland as well.

475
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 3: And obviously if two is not playing, you know you're

476
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 3: looking at Tyler Huntley and DTR. I grabbed this six

477
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 3: and a half. It's currently sitting at three and a half.

478
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 3: I've got this at about two and a half right

479
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 3: now with all the adjustments from the injury and whatnot.

480
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 3: So there's still a little bit of value on Cleveland

481
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 3: if you want to take your shot at a fairly

482
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 3: low number with them.

483
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 2: The game I won't be involved in. Interestingly enough, will

484
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 2: be fifty degrees in Cleveland tomorrow, which is nice temperature.

485
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 2: You know it's got here from Minnesota and for Michigan

486
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 2: that ain't bad for late December, right or outdoors? Fifty

487
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 2: degrees absolutely green Bay, Minnesota. If there's only one game

488
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: I could watch, well, I want out to Detroit Game two.

489
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 2: Let's talk about this game because every time I look

490
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 2: at this game, I see green Bay winning by a

491
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 2: field goal. But you still got to play the game.

492
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 2: Packer's catching one your thoughts.

493
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 3: I'm on the over forty eight and a half, Bernie,

494
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 3: I really love that a lot. You know, both these

495
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 3: teams are top five and a big explosive pass play

496
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 3: twenty yards and more down the shield. The game obviously

497
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 3: is going to be inside, so you've got perfect conditions.

498
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 3: Both teams are throwing the ball very well right now,

499
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 3: green Bay since they're bye weekend and week eleven, averaging

500
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 3: nine yards of pass, a metric that's very very good

501
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 3: in terms of predicting how good teams are. DVOA. The

502
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 3: Packers have now jumped up to third place and DVOA

503
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 3: in the league, Minnesota is six. I think Green Bay

504
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 3: will play aggressive on offense in this game. They've scored

505
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 3: thirty points five weeks.

506
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 2: In a row.

507
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 3: They have, and you know when Green Bay and Philadelphia played,

508
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 3: or Green Band, Minnesota, green Bay, Detroit, Minnesota, Detroit, all

509
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 3: these teams when they played each other this year sixty

510
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 3: sixty three sixty sixty five points combined. The only game

511
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 3: that was low scoring was the rain game in Green

512
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 3: Bay against Detroit where they totaled thirty eight points. Love

513
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 3: had the groin injury, So I think there's gonna be

514
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 3: a lot of points now. On the side part, you know,

515
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 3: I do some player ratings where I would rate this

516
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 3: game right now because green Bas got a lot of

517
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 3: injuries on defense, and they may not have Christian Watson

518
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 3: an offense, and I think that's a fairly big deal

519
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 3: for him. I would make Minnesota maybe about a four

520
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 3: point favorite. But I look at some other numbers where

521
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,959
Speaker 3: we just look at the line of scrimmage and how

522
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 3: all these teams do from the line of scrimmage, and

523
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 3: green Bay is a better team than this game burning

524
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 3: and they are built for this turf. They are very

525
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 3: very fast team, and they are getting their pass rush going.

526
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 3: You know, they traded Preston Smith back around week of

527
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 3: ten or eleven to the Steelers because they wanted to

528
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 3: bring up a couple of guys that they really like

529
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 3: on the practice squad, and those guys now Breton Cox,

530
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 3: for example. Since that time, he is now tenth in

531
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 3: the league in sacks. They are getting a lot of pressure.

532
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 3: The one weakness for the Vikings is right up the

533
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 3: middle on their offensive line, and that's where Green Bay

534
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 3: is starting to generate a lot of pressure. They're obviously

535
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 3: not turning the ball over a lot right now, they

536
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 3: can go in there and win this game. The only

537
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 3: thing that concerns me is a little bit on the

538
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 3: defensive injuries. But they've been playing without these guys now

539
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 3: for three or four weeks, you know, and they went

540
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 3: to Detroit. They very easily could to beat Detroit. They

541
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 3: started that game out very slow, the first couple of drives,

542
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 3: ultimately took a lead and then you know, just lost

543
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 3: in the last play of the game. They can go

544
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 3: to Minnesota and win this game. That would not shock me.

545
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 2: And I think they make a great teaser partner. Just

546
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 2: a couple of quick things under the radar about green Bay.

547
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 2: You aptly pointed out they've scored more than thirty points

548
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 2: in their last five games. I know that Christian Watson

549
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 2: may not play, but I feel like Romeo Dubbs for

550
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 2: one day can pick up the slack. Here's something we

551
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 2: didn't talk about. The Packers defense is starting to hit

552
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 2: on all cylinders as well. For their last five games,

553
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 2: they've held their opponent to season low yardage. And there's

554
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 2: one other under the radar aspect about this game, Scott

555
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 2: do all though, goofy NFL tiebreakers. If Green Bay wins

556
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 2: this game by three points or more and then they

557
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 2: beat Chicago next week, they will have a higher seed

558
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 2: than Minnesota. If Minnesota falls to Detroit in the season's

559
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 2: final week, so they have something to play for above

560
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 2: and beyond just winning that game. Just a couple extra

561
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 2: goofy tidbits there.

562
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, Bernie, Bernie. One other thing in that too.

563
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 3: As we know, they've lost to Philadelphia, Detroit twice, Minnesota.

564
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 3: It's a little bit of a measuring stick game for

565
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 3: them too, you know, So that fifth seed could. They're

566
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 3: definitely coming to play a versus six, but they need

567
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 3: to show and believe it in themselves that they can

568
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 3: beat a really good team as well.

569
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 2: I believe in this group, I really do. I think

570
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 2: they're scary. I think they're a dark horse. If we

571
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 2: looked up a month from now and they're in the

572
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, or would I be shocked. No, I would

573
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 2: not be shocked. Now. A lot of things have to happen.

574
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 2: But again, conversation for another day. All right, one trendy play.

575
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 2: I'm not sure where you weigh in on this. If

576
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 2: I had a nickel for everybody who started firing on

577
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 2: Michael Pennix when the line was five and think Elon

578
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 2: Musk would be mowing my lawn, I actually lay together

579
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 2: side in this game, Okay. I don't trust Atlanta for

580
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 2: a multitude of reasons, but there are trends that really

581
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 2: heavily weigh against the Falcons. I won't go into them.

582
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on Washington lane three and a

583
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: half against visiting Atlanta?

584
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did grab Atlanta plus four. I would take

585
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 3: to three and a half as well. Okay, here's why.

586
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 3: And Pennix is obviously the wild gud hed. I have

587
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 3: no idea what we're gonna get from them. But what

588
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 3: I was shocked at, Bernie, when I looked at these

589
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 3: and I look at teams yards for play, what they

590
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 3: what they gained, what they allow versus the opponents they played.

591
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 3: And shockingly, both these teams averaged the exact same amount

592
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 3: of yards for play relative to the opponents they played,

593
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 3: and they both give up this same difference in terms

594
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 3: of yards for play relative to the teams they played.

595
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 3: So from a line of scrimmage standpoint, those numbers are

596
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 3: exactly even between these teams. The biggest difference between these

597
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 3: teams is Kirk Cousins through seventeen interceptions and now Pennison.

598
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 3: You know, he's a rookie. It's really only a second game.

599
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 3: He could be a disaster out there. I don't think

600
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 3: we've learned anything from him last week against the Giants

601
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 3: team that's quit, so that is a very big unknown.

602
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 3: But if they don't turn the ball over, then these

603
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 3: two teams are the line of scrimmage are pretty even.

604
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 3: Washington is going to be without Latimore in the secondary.

605
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 3: They're down another receiver, Browns, so they are now down

606
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 3: two starting receivers. They're down their right tackle Wiley. They

607
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 3: will get Jonathan Allen back. That's a that's a very

608
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 3: good pick up for them. So I you know, I

609
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 3: don't know what we're gonna get from Atlanta, but they are.

610
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 3: These two teams from Atlanta scrimmage to me are even.

611
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 3: Uh and Cousins was a statue back there. So at

612
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 3: the very least, you know, Pennis doesn't have the experience

613
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 3: of Cousins, but he can move around and they might

614
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 3: do some things that Washington hasn't seen because we really

615
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 3: have it for the most part, team Penix. You know,

616
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 3: if Washington wons this game by seven, I'm not shocked.

617
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 3: It's the numbers play for me. But you know, Washington,

618
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 3: the only team that they beat above five hundred this

619
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 3: year was Philly last week, and that took Jalen hurts

620
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,959
Speaker 3: being out for three quarters to do it. Now, you know,

621
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 3: is Atlanta really an above five hundred teams? They're an

622
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 3: average team, let's face it. So you know you got

623
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 3: that as well. But I did grab the four. But

624
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 3: if I could see it going.

625
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 2: Either way, sure, And and the games played in Washington,

626
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 2: that's that's kind of big to me, all right, the

627
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 2: final game, I'm not gonna lie. I think I have

628
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 2: that same feeling in my gut about Detroit that I

629
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 2: had two weeks ago in Buffalo visited Detroit. I feel

630
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: like the forty nine ers are lying in wait home

631
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 2: dog Monday night. There's no reason other than maybe insanity

632
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 2: the fire on the Niners. But I will say this

633
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 2: interestingly enough, shockingly enough, the Niners still own the number

634
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 2: two overall ranked defense in the league. So I think

635
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 2: it's going to be a hard hitting, smash mount type

636
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 2: of a game. And I think Detroit will will have

637
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 2: to pull every trick in the book to win that game.

638
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 2: And I feel like the Niners are live. Have you

639
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 2: done anything on this game?

640
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 3: I have not done anything on it. And I would

641
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 3: say this to a little bit of a guess here,

642
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 3: But if you like the Niners, you'll wait if Minnesota wins,

643
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 3: and I guess if Minnesota wins Detroit tennents, you could

644
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 3: still lose and win next week, I guess. So you

645
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 3: know it might be wrong and that that is true

646
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 3: regardless of what happens with Detroit.

647
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 2: So if minutes as long as Minnesota wins next Sunday

648
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 2: at Ford Fields, for all the marbles.

649
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you still might see this line go up though,

650
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 3: you know, closer to game time on Monday. My only

651
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 3: problem with the forty nine ers is they are really

652
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 3: banged up. They're down obviously, Trent Williams are left tackle,

653
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 3: they're down now, they're replacement left tackle, they are down

654
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 3: their left guard, and we know about all the other injuries. Greenlaw,

655
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 3: you know, obviously is not playing now as well. Devondre

656
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 3: Campbell got suthetic, so there are some injuries there. And

657
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:19,719
Speaker 3: you're right, though, when I look at the numbers from

658
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 3: the arts for play, like San Francisco's numbers are really good.

659
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 3: This just seems to be one of those years where

660
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 3: things just are not going their way. I don't think

661
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 3: they're going to quit. I mean, so often you can

662
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 3: see a veteran team like that that like this that

663
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 3: expected so much more.

664
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 4: Quit.

665
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 3: I don't really get a sense of quitting this team,

666
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 3: but things just aren't going well for them, you know,

667
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 3: and they're just not getting any of the break. So

668
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 3: I didn't play the game, though, I'll be honest. If

669
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 3: it goes down to three, and I'm convinced Detroit's gonna

670
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 3: play hard, and Campbell said they were, and I do

671
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 3: believe that I would maybe sire on Detroit just because

672
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 3: the injuries of San Francisco. But I'm not on the

673
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 3: game right now.

674
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, not on it either. We'll have to wait and

675
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 2: see what happens. I think it's wise to see what happens,

676
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 2: and depending on the side you are leaning toward, you

677
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 2: might get a more favorable number on Monday. Last thing, Scott,

678
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 2: any best bet.

679
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 3: Best bets for me would be over. The best I've

680
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 3: only got you played so far right now would be

681
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 3: the over in that Minnesota green Bay game. I think

682
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 3: there will be points scowed on both sides of the ledger.

683
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 3: And then I did grab Atlanta plus four. But the

684
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 3: best of the best for me would be that over

685
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 3: forty eight and a half for Minnesota and green Bay tomorrow.

686
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 2: Great stuff, but we'll talk soon man. Thank you all right.

687
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 3: Happy New year, Bernie, Well, thank you.

688
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 2: Thanks Scott Kellen sixth cent sports. You've heard of me

689

Speaker 2: rights for the Las Vegas Review Journal to one of

690
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 2: the most respected handicappers here in Las Vegas. Guess what,

691
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 2: Doris Sanders Swanson didn't quite go as he wanted it to.

692
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter. I don't think it's going to affect his

693
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 2: draft choice. He already said, we know where we're going,

694
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 2: but I gotta give it up to BYU. They smashed

695
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 2: Colorado of the mouth and it was the final game

696
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 2: in college for Travis Hunter and Shodor Centers. And we'll

697
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 2: chop it up and give you our thoughts coming up.

00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:08,839

00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app. As you've heard me say many times, when

713
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 2: it comes to the world of sports, or even in

714
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 2: the game of life, the opposite of love is not hate,

715
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:03,240
Speaker 2: its indifference. You have to have the same emotion invested

716
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 2: to hate than you do to love. That is never

717
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 2: more evident than how people are weighing in on the

718
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 2: Colorado Buffaloes and their game versus BYU and how they

719
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 2: finished the season. And by the way, in case you

720
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 2: missed it, okay, there's no argument here. BYU completely dominated

721
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 2: Colorado completely. They had more rush yards on their first

722
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 2: run of the game than Colorado had the entire game.

723
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 2: Colorado ran for two yards the entire night. But let's

724
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:38,919
Speaker 2: be fair, because Colorado finished the season nine to four,

725
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 2: and yes they'll always have their critics. They invited that fight,

726
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 2: but this was a successful season, just their second nine.

727
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 2: When season in twenty years they got a Heisman Trophy winner,

728
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,479
Speaker 2: They're going to have two of the top five picks

729
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 2: in the draft, and the future does appear to be

730
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 2: very bright. But everybody agrees in the world of X,

731
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 2: one particular individual wrote, Colorado is such a joke. Best

732
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 2: winner in the last two years is Baylor. When they

733
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 2: play anyone with a pulse, they get embarrassed. They have

734
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 2: a fake Heisman winner and immedia driven mediocre quarterback that

735
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 2: will get a GM fire. You see what I mean

736
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 2: about hate. There's all kinds of memes about BYU spank

737
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 2: in Colorado. One other particular person wrote in if I

738
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 2: were a BYU football fan, I would be totally irritated

739
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 2: by this broadcast. They have talked don stop about coach

740
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 2: Prime Sanders, Travis Hunter, and the future of Colorado football.

741
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 2: While BYU has got a little bit of love, not

742
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 2: literally what it should have been. They dominated Colorado supposedly

743
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 2: has the best quarterback wide receiver quarterback in the country

744
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 2: and they just got slapped around by BYU. So you

745
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 2: see where this goes, BYU. It makes you thirty three

746
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 2: to seven, absolutely dominating the Buffs. People were looking for

747
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 2: things to smash Colorado in a way. That's a sign

748
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 2: of respect, all right, because Colorado got in your kitchen.

749
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 2: They had enough success to get in your kitchen. And

750
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 2: the truth of the matter is, you know, and then

751
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 2: they're even und you know, ripping on Shiloh Sanders, he

752
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 2: got you know, all right? You get my point. What

753
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 2: happened in the game itself, this is what This is

754
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,959
Speaker 2: what happens when fans show up and they speak their mind.

755
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 2: There isn't this much emotion or vitriol and any other

756
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 2: the bowl games. This is essentially just a bowl game.

757
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 2: They're never meaningless. No game is meaningless. I don't buy that, Okay,

758
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 2: save that for your own personal amateur psychology. The reality

759
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 2: of it is BYU made the final game with Travis

760
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 2: Hunter and your door Sanders. Basically one did kind of

761
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 2: flush and forget you got blown out. Colorado got blown

762
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 2: out six to fourteen. It was never that closed. They

763
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 2: were overmatched in every facet of the game. BYU led

764
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 2: twenty to nothing and a halftime, and interestingly enough, a

765
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 2: lot of the Flaws that had played Colorado during the

766
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 2: first two years of dionce tenure showed up against Saturday

767
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 2: Night Buffs could not get their running game going, and

768
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 2: their offensive line struggled mightily in pass protection too. By

769
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 2: you grabbed a ten oh of lead in the first quarter,

770
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 2: and then they extended their lead on a kicker on

771
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 2: a punt return excuse me sixty four yards Parker Kingston

772
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 2: in the second quarter. The blowout happened even though byused

773
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,280
Speaker 2: quarterback Jake Rertz left through two picks and his backup

774
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 2: Jerry Bhannon came in through one pass and threw a

775
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 2: pick in his only attempt. One highlight of the game.

776
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 2: Travis Hunter got a highlight. It was a forty three

777
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 2: yard touchdown in the third quarter, a very nice thrown

778
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 2: ball by shud Or Sanders. But that was about the

779
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 2: only thing the Buffaloes did that looked good. But give

780
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 2: it up to Travis Hunter and shud Or Sanders at

781
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 2: least playing for Colorado despite being likely early first round picks.

782
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 2: I get it, they took insurance policies, but they showed

783
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 2: the game respect they played. I give them top credit

784
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 2: for doing that. Sanders even unveiled Cleat's Hint Hint with

785
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 2: the New York Giants logo on them before the game.

786
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 2: Remember and we're going to go over this later in

787
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 2: the show. The playoff picture in the draft order, the

788
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 2: Giants kept the worst record the NFL currently earned position

789
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 2: for the number one pick in the draft, and Sanders

790
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 2: took the field in the first quarter with black cleats

791
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 2: on his feet. But this was a matchup between two

792
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 2: Big twelve teams because of the Alamos selection process. I

793
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 2: would have liked to have seen BU Colorado play at

794
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 2: Alabama or in Michigan or somebody else. I really would have.

795
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 2: I wanted to see what they would have done. But

796
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 2: give it up to BYU. Eleven wins for the first

797
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 2: time since twenty twenty and Colorado they made a five

798
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 2: win leap this year. Let's see what they do next year.

799
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 2: They got a five star QB coming in named Juju Lewis.

800
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 2: So I think Dion's done a hell of a job

801
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 2: on balance. Coming up, Little Madena Magic, Midnight Magic, We

Speaker 2: You know, the de facto opening day is coming gone,

812
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 2: the NBA Cup is in the books, and the NBA

813
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 2: will start to pick up steam in terms of your

814
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 2: media attention. So as we do every Saturday night at midnight,

815
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 2: three simple words. It's that time, Mark Medina, Medina Magic,

816
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 2: our Fox Sports Radio NBA guru. You hear them all

817
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 2: around the network and on my show every Saturday night

818
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 2: at midnight. Well Mark, here we go again. Plenty of

819
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 2: talk about and I want to revisit a subject because

820
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 2: of the gentleman who he might not have been able

821
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 2: to hear us Thursday out matter, but I think he

822
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 2: listens to this segment. He wants some more love for

823
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 2: his Cavaliers. Last talk, they were twenty six and four.

824
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 2: Another twenty seven and four. Anything to add to your narrative.

825
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,240
Speaker 2: The other day, very quickly on the Cavs.

826
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,720
Speaker 3: In case he missed it, well look sixth game winning

827
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 3: strict I was at the top of the Eastern Conference.

828
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 4: I still give the edge to the Boston Celtics that

829
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 4: did match up earlier in the season in Boston on

830
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,240
Speaker 4: but look, I think it's going to be a seven

831
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 4: game series East Finals. Really, anything can happen. I do

832
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 4: give you a favor to the incumbent team because they

833
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 4: haven't showed much of a drop off to winning championship.

834
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,240
Speaker 4: But it's going to be a very tight playoff first

835
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 4: in the East.

836
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 2: All right, big news. You kind of intimated this looks like,

837
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 2: don't look now, Kawhi Leonard maybe making a return to

838
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 2: the NBA. Stop the presses, you got the floor.

839
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 4: Well, the thing is, we may have to resume the

840
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 4: presses because the Cloppers haven't offered clarity yet on when

841
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,720
Speaker 4: that's exactly going to happen. He started a full contact

842
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 4: practic because earlier this week, but he was going to

843
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 4: go down to the G League team with the Clippers

844
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 4: to get some more five on five while they're on

845
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 4: the road. So the Clippers are playing in New Orleans,

846
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 4: you know, on Monday, and San Antonio Tuesday, and Oklahoma

847
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 4: City Thursday, January second and next week, and Kawhi is

848
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 4: not part of that because he's gonna be with the

849
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 4: G League team. He's doing five on five. So the

850
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 4: earliest that Kawhi could come back would be January fourth,

851
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 4: next Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks. So you know what,

852
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 4: whether he returns or not, we'll have a lot to

853
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 4: talk about next week as well.

854
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 2: Well, we certainly will as well as Yeah, well, he's

855
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 2: the one that said it, so I guess you know,

856
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 2: he doesn't say a lot. So I took note of

857
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 2: it as you did. All right. Something else I also

858
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,280
Speaker 2: took note of because I like this guy, you said,

859
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 2: talk to him all the time the summer League. I

860
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 2: don't know, Mark is a Is it a curse? When

861
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 2: you become coach of the year then a few months

862
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,479
Speaker 2: later you're giving a three year extent and all of sudden,

863
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 2: Mike Brown unceremoniously dismissed from the Sacrament of Kingston before

864
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 2: I turned it over to you on this. Did you

865
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 2: buy any chance see his final press conference after that? Oh?

866
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,839
Speaker 4: I definitely did see his final press conference. I mean

867
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 4: that was when he was talking about how he was

868
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 4: talking to de Aaron Fox about late came execution the

869
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 4: previous night. You know, he had lamented how he handled

870
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 4: that close out against Shane Ivy with the Detroit Piston,

871
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,879
Speaker 4: So it was very foreboding. And then on top of that,

872
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 4: you know, he was accepting the fact that he'll take

873
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 4: the heat, he'll gladly do it. He's had previous head

874
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 4: coaching experiences before. And then lo and behold, he did

875
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 4: take more. But it was certainly not that he was expecting.

876
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 2: It was a little lot of character for him. I

877
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 2: always liked him. He's a major guy. And you know,

878
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 2: I know it's against a lot of practice psychology without

879
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 2: a license, but I've looking at a guy saying he

880
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 2: doesn't want to be here anymore. Is there is there

881
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 2: an element to that?

882
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 4: No, I think he wanted to be there. But I

883
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 4: think that Mike Brown, he's a competitive guy, and I

884
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 4: think that you know, of the losing was gained him.

885
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 4: And I think the other thing is that you know,

886
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 4: there were there's a report from the Athletic earlier in

887
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 4: the league that Rich Paul Taron Fox's agent have been

888
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 4: talking to Kings about, you know, just the direction of

889
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 4: the team. Jaron Fox hadn't signed an extension when he

890
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 4: was eligible last summer, and he made it clear, you know,

891
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 4: numerous interviews that he wanted to just see if they're

892
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 4: able to keep the momentum going in terms of winning

893
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 4: and that all that's finding good. Everyone wants to do that.

894
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 4: But I think that, you know, there was some concern about,

895
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 4: you know, is he really in the foxhole with everyone

896
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 4: and clearly, uh, you know, the Kings didn't feel that

897
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 4: with Mike Brown. But I think the bottom line is this,

898
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 4: you know, no coach has ever played once, especially when

899
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 4: it comes down to late game executions. But he's the

900
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 4: reason why they ended the playoff trout to begin with.

901
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 4: And you know, they it's not like they regressed that

902
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 4: significantly last season. It's actually that the Western Conference got

903
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 4: substantially better. So I think in a way, Mike Brown

904
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:01,760
Speaker 4: turned the team around too soon because it then the expectations.

905
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 4: Now Mike Brown, to a man, had high expectations. I

906
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 4: remember talking to him before last season started about his

907
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 4: message to the group was that they feel like they're

908
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 4: a championship team. It's not about, oh, you're happy that

909
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,280
Speaker 4: you challenge Golden State to seven games in the first round.

910
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 4: It's about, you know, really building off of that. But

911
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 4: I would say that roster construction had more to do

912
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:27,240
Speaker 4: with any shortcomings. I think DeMar derozen is a great player,

913
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 4: great mid range guy, great team player. But when you

914
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 4: look at the fact that this team is already dynamics

915
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 4: so offensively and weak defensively, they didn't do anything in

916
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 4: the offseason to address the weaknesses. And then besides that,

917
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 4: the way they fired Mike Brown just before he's about

918
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 4: to go to practice, there's a reason why head coaches

919
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 4: have been speaking out on them, most notably Michael Malone

920
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 4: with the Denver NUGGETSY may recall he was let go

921
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 4: from King's owner of a Vicarana DV. He's not gained

922
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:00,280
Speaker 4: a good reputation on how he's managing a relationship.

923
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 2: And speaking of the team that let Mike Brown go,

924
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 2: they lose to the Lakers Saturday night, and here I

925
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 2: am asking about Anthony Davis watching him limp off the floor,

926
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 2: puts up thirty six points fifteen rebounds. So I guess

927
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 2: he's okay. Maybe Anthony Davis is okay.

928
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 4: Huh, Yeah, Anthony Davis made it clear his ankles fine.

929
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 4: You know that was a one or not even a

930
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 4: one game thing. That was like a one half thing.

931
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 4: The previous game, you know, against the Warriors, but he

932
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 4: made it clear he's playing. I've been telling you, Burry

933
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 4: that we know AD's injury history, but he's been a

934
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 4: lot better about back and playing through paying. I think

935
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 4: the biggest thing is that when you're looking at this game,

936
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 4: specifically Lebron James is out for a game.

937
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 6: J J.

938
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:47,280
Speaker 4: Reddick was saying, Antonilan said they're not necessarily concerned long

939
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:51,439
Speaker 4: term my hunches. He plays against Cleveland on New Year's

940
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 4: Eve on Tuesday, but you know the idea that the

941
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 4: Lakers had to play without him. You saw Anthony Davis

942
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 4: races game to another level. He was getting on the

943
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 4: team defense boy at halftime, and that, according to Trader,

944
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 4: really sparked their strong run the second half. And then

945
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:10,399
Speaker 4: also Austin Reeves spot game to another level. Points, Yeah,

946
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,280
Speaker 4: twenty six points and there was a lot of good assists.

947
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 4: Thirty three as a team tonight. And so you know, look,

948
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 4: I'm not going to act like they're now contenders, but

949
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 4: they have shown some positive signs about building their jeff

950
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 4: from within, especially when Lebron came is out.

951
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 2: Well, you know, look, we'll deal with the hearing. Now

952
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 2: the Lakers are mercurio, but they're now one and a

953
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 2: half behind Dallas for the number four seed, and Dallas

954
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 2: isn't gonna have Luca for a month. So you're taking

955
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 2: one at a time and see where you end up.

956
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 2: But they're you know, they're not in terrible position, right,

957
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 2: the Lakers. So anyway, one last thing, because our segment's

958
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 2: gotten so popular now we have people making requests. Our buddy,

959
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 2: our buddy, Poppy says, uh, Mark, I hope yeah, he said, yeah,

960
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 2: we're like the station for good times and great olies. Right,

961
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 2: he says, Mark, I hope you talk Bronnie, so why not.

962
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:04,240
Speaker 2: What's the latest on Brownie James.

963
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, he played a CHI League game. He had a

964
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 4: lot of good points at twenty three points and that

965
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 4: rebounds five to fifths. You know, people can roll their

966
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 4: eyes all they want, and we will. It's a G

967
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 4: League game. But this is the reason why they put

968
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 4: him into G League. He's got to play, he's got

969
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 4: to get reps and you got to start somewhere. And

970
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 4: I think when we're looking at his many many struggles

971
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 4: when he was in the NBA making cameo appearances, gained

972
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 4: some time in pre season. It was about his shots,

973
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 4: not shot selection, but his shooting percentage, with his form,

974
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 4: and just overall confidence. And even though again it is

975
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 4: G League, you got to start somewhere. So it's a

976
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 4: sign of, you know, at least a good sign of

977
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 4: things to come in G League competition.

978
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 2: So just this twenty three point game, is that following

979
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 2: the thirty point game he had about a week ago. Yeah,

980
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,359
Speaker 2: I mean, okay, okay, So he's stacking a couple games together.

981
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, you stack it up and see what happens. Now,

982
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:01,800
Speaker 4: we're not under any illusion that all of a sudden

983
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:03,959
Speaker 4: he's going to get back to the NBA and play

984
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:08,359
Speaker 4: like game Busters. But again, any time you're talking about

985
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 4: trying to develop young players, it's about playing time, and

986
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 4: this is what it's for. And I think that, you know,

987
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 4: to Brownie's credit, he hasn't had, you know, this attitude

988
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 4: that I'm above this. He's embraced it. So if he's

989
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 4: able to put these, you know, a couple of string

990
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 4: of games together, again, doesn't mean he's going to follow

991
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 4: on his dad's footsteps, but it can give him some

992
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 4: sort of value going into future seasons that at the

993
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 4: very you know, best for him. Maybe he's a fifteenth

994
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 4: guy on a rosters not going to complain. Good practice, guy,

995
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 4: hard worker, and you know what, compared to where he

996
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 4: is now, that could be a victory in of itself.

997
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 2: Well, I agree with all that we don't really know

998
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:48,799
Speaker 2: what his finished product is. I mean, I've been on

999
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 2: record at nauseum that he's not an NBA player. But look,

1000
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 2: if he can prove me wrong, so you do it

1001
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,399
Speaker 2: on the floor, and if he had a thirty point game,

1002
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 2: down a twenty three point game, let's let's just go

1003
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 2: from there and see see where this goes. The NBA

1004
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 2: is beating their chest a little bit now. Apparently the

1005
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 2: Christmas Day viewership was up about eighty percent over last year.

1006
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 2: And even though you know, five million viewers per game

1007
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 2: was you know, pale in comparison to the NFL, they

1008
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 2: delivered their most watched Christmas Day in many years. What

1009
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 2: do you attribute that to?

1010
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,839
Speaker 4: Well, there's a few things. All the games were really good.

1011
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 4: They're all within double single digits that are competitive. I

1012
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 4: think the other thing, you know, not to get all

1013
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 4: like media nerdy on it, but the NBA games were

1014
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 4: on every single platform, magicable network TV with ABC, cable

1015
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:43,360
Speaker 4: with ESPN, the streaming options with Disney Plus and ESPN

1016
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 4: plus that helps the numbers. You look at the NFL, Yeah,

1017
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 4: it was still pretty high. I think it was around

1018
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 4: the low twenty million viewers for each game, but it

1019
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 4: was only on Netflix, so as much as people like

1020
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 4: the NFL, if it was on network TV would have

1021
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,359
Speaker 4: been even higher. But here's the thing, Bernie, it's not

1022
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 4: like the NBA doesn't want to have viewers. Of course

1023
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 4: are going to tell any success like the Christmas Day games.

1024
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 4: But I think here's a few lessons. All that matters

1025
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:11,959
Speaker 4: is if the game, the quality of games are good.

1026
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 4: But the second thing is the NBA is not evaluating

1027
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 4: itself on viewership. It's valuating itself and if it's making money,

1028
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 4: and they got this new media rights deal that's very lucrative.

1029
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 4: The those things that are valuating themselves on player or

1030
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 4: fan interests, and they're you know, owning social media. When

1031
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 4: it comes to the young demographic, and I think you

1032
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:37,760
Speaker 4: know someone like me who you know follows social media

1033
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 4: but still follows traditional forms of media. I think it

1034
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 4: is important for the NBA and their fans to watch

1035
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 4: full games and not just be watching highlights. But look,

1036
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 4: the NBA is a business and they're very mindful that

1037
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 4: there are fans, believe it or not, that aren't necessarily

1038
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:57,439
Speaker 4: watching games. They're watching highlights, and you know, that still

1039
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 4: keeps them engaged in the sports, still gets them to

1040
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 4: buy jerseys and buy tickets to a game. And so

1041
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 4: that's how we have to evaluate because everything else now

1042
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 4: with cord cutting and so many you know, different viewing options.

1043
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 4: Look at the TV ratings isn't necessarily the most accurate

1044
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 4: way to you know, measure fan interest in you know, sports,

1045
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 4: says talking with Mark.

1046
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 2: Medina, Medina Magic our Fox Sports Radio NBA guru. So, Mark,

1047
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 2: we had had a good old fashioned melee the other

1048
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:34,319
Speaker 2: night players ejected in everything and in the Sun's game,

1049
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 2: I mean, we really haven't had that, look, I can't lie.

1050
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 2: December ninth, nineteen seventy seven. I was there the night

1051
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:44,839
Speaker 2: Rudy tom Janovic got punched by Kermit Washington. It was,

1052
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 2: it was incredible, it was, it's indescribable. And when tom

1053
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 2: Jonovic's head hit the floor, it sounded like somebody had

1054
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,760
Speaker 2: dropped the bowling ball from six feet. So the NBA

1055
00:52:55,960 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 2: is not into fighting and you rarely see it. And

1056
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 2: I don't know what. I don't know what Naja Marshall said,

1057
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:04,279
Speaker 2: or PJ. Washington, can you take us behind the curtain

1058
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 2: as anything? But they didn't much repetisee on that.

1059
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 4: No, I mean, there was just one thing after another,

1060
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 4: you know. Naji Marshall and use of Nurkic got in

1061
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 4: an encore altercation. Nurkic slung his arm at Marshall and

1062
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 4: struck him on the top of his head, and Marshall

1063
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 4: responded by saying, you know, well I'm gonna throw a

1064
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 4: punch at you and hear him in the face, and so,

1065
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 4: you know, the officials and other players try to calm

1066
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 4: things down, but it just got you know, more and

1067
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 4: more heated because then PJ. Washington shoved Nurkic to the

1068
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 4: floor and then it didn't end after that. You know,

1069
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 4: Marshall tried to, you know, confront Nurkic in the quarter

1070
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 4: outside of the locker room. So this isn't one of

1071
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 4: these stay hustle un where they said, oh, pull me back,

1072
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 4: and you know you don't really need to pull me back.

1073
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 4: This was you know, an old school brawl so to speak,

1074
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 4: and the punishments reflected it. You know, Marshall got spender

1075
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 4: for four games, she got suspended for three You know,

1076
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 4: obviously the NBA doesn't look kindly on that. We also

1077
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 4: saw PJ. Washington, he got suspended for a game. So

1078
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 4: very rarely do you see these things post mouse in

1079
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 4: the Palace.

1080
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 2: No, this this was real. This was stuff that happened

1081
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 2: a generation ago. I saw Calvin Murphy turned to Dennis

1082
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 2: Outrey one night. I mean, these are not like you said,

1083
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 2: hold me back, blah blah blah. This was Do you

1084
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 2: remember the night were you there by any chances at

1085
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 2: the four when Rick Fox went off the side the

1086
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 2: locker room and he was waiting.

1087
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 4: For something years. No, that was during my high school year,

1088
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 4: so I'm too young for that. I'm very well aware

1089
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:38,280
Speaker 4: of the preseason fight with Rick Fox and Doug Christie,

1090
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 4: and you know, very fitting the now Doug Christie is

1091
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 4: making his coaching debut at the same building that he

1092
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:45,280
Speaker 4: was swinging at Rick Fox.

1093
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 2: Now the Circle of Life. Speaking of the Circle of Life,

1094
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 2: Joe Embiid got into the fund two find seventy five

1095
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 2: thousand for an obscene gesture. It's not so much. I mean, look,

1096
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,400
Speaker 2: seventy five thousand. He carries that in his wallet, probably

1097
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:01,479
Speaker 2: count someone else's money. Joe Dumar is doing his job,

1098
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 2: but what is up obscene gestures. I mean it's almost

1099
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:10,800
Speaker 2: like we're normalizing this over the top behavior now in

1100
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,759
Speaker 2: the NBA. Now it's to become pass a Yeah.

1101
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 4: Well, I think with Jill Mbi in particular, I mean,

1102
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 4: he's been allowing frustrations to get the best of them,

1103
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 4: whether it's you know, Celtic fans get on him or

1104
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 4: him being upset with the officials. Clearly, I understand his

1105
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 4: frustration with his injury, but everything else, like, he's got

1106
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 4: to be better than that. He can't allow the emotions

1107
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 4: to get the better of him and look the fine,

1108
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 4: he's not going to feel it. So when it comes

1109
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 4: to that incident with his ejection with the officials, he's

1110
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 4: got to be better than that. The way I view

1111
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,759
Speaker 4: this is that I'm not ever going to get on

1112
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,279
Speaker 4: a player for being upset with calls. It happens all

1113
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:53,399
Speaker 4: the time, and the most savvy star players know how

1114
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:56,799
Speaker 4: to toe the line with you know, being assertive with

1115
00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 4: referees and sharing their displeasure and maybe even gay in attack.

1116
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:03,359
Speaker 4: But they know when to stop for that. They're still

1117
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:05,399
Speaker 4: available to be in the game, and that's what Joe

1118
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,879
Speaker 4: on Beat's got to be. I mean, we've already seen

1119
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 4: because of his injuries, how terrible the Fixers can be

1120
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 4: without him. So he's out of value. Every precious menup.

1121
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 4: He's on the four to make sure that he's there,

1122
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 4: because if he's not, they're not going to be a

1123
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 4: playoffs tam. If he is, he brought the fixers right

1124
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 4: back in the next in Eastern Conference rash.

1125
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 2: All right, So last thing and NBA is the NBA

1126
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 2: is very much a league predicated on its stars, and

1127
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 2: they need their stars. And what seems to be flying

1128
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 2: a little bit under the radar for me is the

1129
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 2: kind of year that Wenby is having. And there's now

1130
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 2: talk because of some of the things he's putting up

1131
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:46,839
Speaker 2: forty two point games, blocking ten shots in his single game. Right,

1132
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:48,799
Speaker 2: He's averaged almost thirty points a game in the month

1133
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 2: of December. There's no talk he might be on the

1134
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 2: short list of the MVP for the league, although Santonio

1135
00:56:56,440 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 2: is not winning. Your thoughts, is that a real conversation now?

1136
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:03,760
Speaker 4: I don't think it is. I mean, the favored MVP

1137
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 4: candidates would be, you know, guys like, yeah, go to

1138
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:12,839
Speaker 4: Alexander number one. I would say Giannis, Antony Kumbo number two,

1139
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 4: Nicole Jokic three. You know you throw color Anthony Towns

1140
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 4: with the impact he's made with the Nicks. Yeah, and

1141
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 4: Jason Tatum.

1142
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1143
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 4: So no, Victor Womanana is not part of the MVP conversation.

1144
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 4: You know, he can defend his defensive Player of the

1145
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 4: Year award. You know, we can see his improvement, uh

1146
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 4: not just with his overall game, but see if he

1147
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,479
Speaker 4: can't hit that three point shot going, and also see

1148
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 4: if the Spurs make the playoffs. We can also see

1149
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 4: him win a chess tournament as he saw that.

1150
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 2: That New York he was playing chess with the fans.

1151
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 4: Yes, exactly, exactly, So all that stuff is possible. M

1152
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 4: VP is not. Wait at least a few more years

1153
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 4: for that one.

1154
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 2: All right, call me crazy, you know I think should

1155
00:57:55,200 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 2: be mentioned in this list. Donovan Mitchell, No, I agree.

1156
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 4: I mean, look, the Cleveland kind of lewers that listener

1157
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 4: to SOS. We never talked about Cleveland.

1158
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 2: Here you go, well them again.

1159
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're they're in the East right now, mostly because

1160
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 4: of Donovan Mitchell. And there's a lot of there's a

1161
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 4: lot of moving parts here that explained Kenny Atkinson's the

1162
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 4: hell of the coach. He showed that he's not just

1163
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:22,919
Speaker 4: this great guy in Brooklyn that can develop young talent

1164
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 4: on a team that's not expected to make noise. He

1165
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 4: knows how to manage a championship caliber roster. Darius Garland,

1166
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:33,320
Speaker 4: he's healthy. Donovan Mitchell and Darius have both shown they

1167
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 4: can coexist as ideas they can't that is hogwash. Same

1168
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 4: thing with Evid Mobley and Jared Allen. But Donovan Mitchell

1169
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:42,880
Speaker 4: is their team leader and he really sets the tone,

1170
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 4: which is how aggressive he is as a score as

1171
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 4: well as he makes everyone else better around him.

1172
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 2: Mark great stuff is always suit Again. Tomorrow night, I'll

1173
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 2: be in for a Ben Maler. I guarantee there's going

1174
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 2: to be something that hits the news cycle between now

1175
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 2: and tomorrow night when we talk. But it's fun to

1176
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 2: talk NBA this time of year because the you know,

1177
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 2: things are taking shape. For lack of a better cliche.

1178
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 4: Fair, Yeah, and look, look, I'm sure we'll talk more

1179
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 4: Cleveland Cavaliers. I'm sure we'll talk more Brownie James and

1180
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:15,080
Speaker 4: probably Lebron James.

1181
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 2: Still, hey, Craig Elo just texted it. He loves that

1182
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 2: Cleveland Cavaliers talk. He's gonna bring up the Jordan game.

1183
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 2: Just don't bring up to Jordan's all right, good, yeah,

1184
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 2: thanks Mark, It's tough.

1185
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 4: Pal, Thank you too.

1186
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 2: Fine. That is Mark Medina, Medina Magic, our Fox Sports

1187
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 2: Radio NBA guru who trust me to hear him all

1188
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 2: around the network now because he's got his finger on

1189
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:43,760
Speaker 2: the pulse and a true renaissance man too as well.

1190
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 2: All right, coming up, Look, there are still ten games

1191
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 2: to be played in the NFL Sunday and then you know,

1192
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:55,320
Speaker 2: Sunday and Monday. We had two to one. Wednesday, we

1193
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:58,720
Speaker 2: had one. On Thursday, we had three today, still more

1194
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 2: to go. What does it all mean? Peewee. I'm going

1195
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 2: to take you up close and personal as to exactly

1196
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 2: where we are now in terms of the NFL playoff picture.

1197
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 2: It's not super complicated, but it's complicated enough that if

1198
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 2: you don't hire a team of felanx of attorneys and

1199
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboy technicians, you're not going to know. Fortunately, we

1200
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 2: do that here, So I'll bring you behind the curtain

1201
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 2: and let you know what's going on in the NBA.

1202
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 2: Check that NFL playoff picture. I'm Bernie Fraddo coming to

1203

Speaker 2: you live from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio, Tarrek dot

01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 2: Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio. How right back on

1206
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 2: the Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Sports Radio, come to you

1207
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 2: live from the Tirec dot Com studios here in a

1208
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. What a week in the NFL. We had

1209
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 2: games on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday. We have nine more games

1210
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 2: later on today, Sunday and Monday night. We'll wrap it

1211
01:00:56,880 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 2: up Lions visiting San Francisco. So, because we are at

1212
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 2: that time of the year and the playoff picture in

1213
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:12,960
Speaker 2: the postseason seeds, projected draft order is very much taking shape,

1214
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:17,480
Speaker 2: there's usually a good time to start to chop this

1215
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:21,000
Speaker 2: up and bring some semblance of order to understanding what

1216
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:23,600
Speaker 2: is what. But I think that time would be now.

1217
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:28,960
Speaker 2: So it started Wednesday. The Chiefs insured there AFC playoff

1218
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 2: would run through Airhead Stadium. Give it up to him

1219
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 2: following their big victory twenty nine ten over the Steelers

1220
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:37,919
Speaker 2: on Christmas Day. The Chiefs were the conference three seed

1221
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 2: last year, still managed to win a Super Bowl. In

1222
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 2: case you'd missed it, they're going for a three peat

1223
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 2: and they're now fifteen to one. Now they'll have the

1224
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 2: option of being rested healthier after clinching the postseason first

1225
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 2: round by was still one full week left. But there's

1226
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:54,880
Speaker 2: another big development in the AFC that comes from the

1227
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 2: North because with Baltimore Ravens and control of the division

1228
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 2: after they pretty much rode the Houston Texans like a

1229
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:05,440
Speaker 2: stick horse the other day, they now passed the Steelers

1230
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 2: for first place. Now it's hard to find many teams

1231
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 2: playing better than Baltimore right now. That's the operative word

1232
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 2: right now, and they'll it's presumed that Baltimore will clinch

1233
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 2: the division for second straight year if they beat Cleveland

1234
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 2: next week. In Week eighteen. Now, the Chargers give it

1235
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 2: up to the Harbaugh Chargers. They blew out the New

1236
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 2: England Patriots on Saturday to clinch your playoff berth and

1237
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 2: add to the Jim harbaugh impressive first season resume now

1238
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 2: that he's back in the NFL, Justin Herbert has only

1239
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 2: played one playoff game in his entire career. Imagine that,

1240
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 2: and I know you don't want me to remind you

1241
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 2: if you're a Chargers fan. They had a twenty seven

1242
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 2: to nothing lead to the Jaguars and you know what

1243
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:53,160
Speaker 2: happened next. So it will be interesting to see not

1244
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 2: just that the Chargers have made the postseason what they'll

1245
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 2: do in the postseason. Now, the race for the afcason

1246
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:01,920
Speaker 2: number seven seed. Here's where we start to get interesting.

1247
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 2: It's open. The Bengals claim they're I'm not gonna call

1248
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 2: it an epic overtime win. I'm gonna call it an

1249
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 2: in artful overtime win. But it was a win over

1250
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:15,720
Speaker 2: the Broncos Saturday. However, Denver can still make the playoffs.

1251
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,720
Speaker 2: They just have to beat Kansas City next week. And

1252
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 2: despite Joe Burrow and having an incredible spectacular season, the

1253
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 2: Bengals are in a really tough spot to make the postseason.

1254
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 2: And I had a guy tweeted and he made some

1255
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:31,920
Speaker 2: really good points. It could happen. It doesn't feel like

1256
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 2: it's likely because the first, the Bengals need to beat

1257
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 2: the Steelers next week, and they need the Broncos to

1258
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 2: lose to Kansas City. The Dolphins and Colts will also

1259
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 2: have to lose at least one of their final two

1260
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 2: games for the Bengals to advance. No, Miami's unlikely to

1261
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 2: have an two on Sunday. As matter of fact, I

1262
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 2: think he's out, and they play the Browns and the Jets,

1263
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 2: and he visits the Giants without Anthony Richardson, but it's

1264
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 2: not a drop off. Flacco will be fine. And then

1265
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:02,520
Speaker 2: the host Jacksonville in the regular finale. So you know

1266
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 2: who's in, right the Chiefs, Bills, Ravens, Texans, Steelers, Chargers.

1267
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say the Broncos are likely in. They're the

1268
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 2: number seven seed right now, but we'll see. And then

1269
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 2: the outside looking in. The Bengals are eight and eight,

1270
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 2: the Colts are seven and eight, and so other Dolphins

1271
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 2: seven and eight now go over to the NFC. The

1272
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 2: Seahawks beat the Bears on Thursday, but the Rams kept

1273
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 2: their lead in the West and got closer to clinching

1274
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 2: the division crown because they beat Arizona on Saturday. And

1275
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:35,960
Speaker 2: the Rams are scheduled to play what will be considered

1276
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 2: a very decisive contest versus Seattle next week. But even

1277
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 2: if the Rams lose, they can win. I'll get to

1278
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 2: more on that in a minute. Okay, nice to English

1279
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 2: and Bernie. Even if the Rams lose, they can advance

1280
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 2: to the playoffs. I'll explain that how that will work.

1281
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 2: So the Lions visit the forty nine ers on Monday,

1282
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 2: they can clench the NFC North title and the number

1283
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 2: one seed if the Lion if they beat San Francisco

1284
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:04,520
Speaker 2: Monday night, then they'll know the outcome of Minnesota green

1285
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 2: Bay later on this afternoon. If Minnesota loses to Green

1286
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:13,560
Speaker 2: Bay and the Lions win in San Francisco on Monday,

1287
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 2: the Lions clinched the NFC North title. The Eagles need

1288
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:23,000
Speaker 2: one win or Commander's loss to clinch the NFC title. Now,

1289
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 2: Philly will play the Cowboys without their starting quarterback Jalen

1290
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:30,840
Speaker 2: Hurts who's still in concussion. Protogol Seattle Lion and Hunt

1291
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 2: and the Buccaneers line you know in the Hunt as

1292
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 2: it were. Seattle Seahawks win over the Rams next week

1293
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:41,440
Speaker 2: would tie their season series, but it doesn't necessarily guarantee

1294
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 2: Seattle would win the NFC West title because it might

1295
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:47,920
Speaker 2: not matter at all. Actually, that's because the Rams can

1296
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 2: still win the division and eliminate Seattle this weekend via

1297
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:55,120
Speaker 2: the strength to scheduled tiebreaker. In other words, the Seahawks

1298
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:57,640
Speaker 2: have to win next week and need other teams to

1299
01:05:57,720 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 2: help to advance, especially Buffalo, Cleveland, Vikings, Forty nine Ers, Commanders.

1300
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:05,440
Speaker 2: If any of those teams combine for three or more

1301
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 2: wins in the season final two weeks, the Rams are

1302
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 2: going to advance. So it feels pretty strongly that the Rams.

1303
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 2: I'll repeat that again. The Rams winning Saturday means they

1304
01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 2: can win the NFC West this week if they get

1305
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:21,680
Speaker 2: three wins or two wins in a tie from this

1306
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:24,920
Speaker 2: group of teams, the Vikings who play the Packers, the

1307
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:27,200
Speaker 2: Bills who play the Jets, the forty nine Ers who

1308
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 2: play the Lions, the Commanders, Browns. There you have it.

1309
01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:32,040
Speaker 2: Do I think the Browns will beat the Dolphins? I

1310
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 2: don't know. Do I think the Commanders will beat the Falcons?

1311
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 2: I do Vikings pack So it's still got to be

1312
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 2: decided right. Meanwhile, the draft, the Giants are currently two

1313
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 2: and thirteen, They are projected to pick first overall, and

1314
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 2: they host the Colts Sunday. Colts are pretty big favorites,

1315
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:51,520
Speaker 2: seven and a half point favorites. They finish the regular

1316
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 2: season on the road against the Eagles. It feels like

1317
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 2: the Giants finished two and fifteen. They're going to draft

1318
01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 2: number one. They've started three quarterbacks this and yeah, they'll

1319
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:06,680
Speaker 2: be starting in a new quarterback next year as well,

1320
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 2: so I kind of went through that fast. But we're

1321
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 2: really kind of down to the short strokes here because

1322
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:18,880
Speaker 2: the AFC playoff picture is basically just one game away

1323
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 2: from having all its teams settle. The Chargers wrapped up

1324
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 2: their playoff berth with a victory over the Pats, but

1325
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 2: the final playoff spot is going to be up for

1326
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 2: grabs and it won't be decided until next week. The Bengals,

1327
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 2: they did remain alive in their playoff race. You can

1328
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 2: call it an epic overtime win, a thrilling overtime win.

1329
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:41,360
Speaker 2: I'm calling it a clunky and artful overtime win if

1330
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:46,439
Speaker 2: you actually watched the game. But they did beat the Broncos, right,

1331
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 2: but you can't rule out the Colts, you can't rule

1332
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:52,440
Speaker 2: out the Dolphins. Yet. Denver can still clinch your playoff

1333
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:55,919
Speaker 2: birth if they win in Week eighteen against Kansas City

1334
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 2: and again back to the NFC, the Rams moved one

1335
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:04,360
Speaker 2: step closer toward clinching the NFCU West. They can clinch

1336
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:08,040
Speaker 2: the division as soon as Sunday under this under scenaria, well,

1337
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:09,880
Speaker 2: under a certain scenario which I'm not gonna bore you

1338
01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 2: with but or simply if they don't, then just beat

1339
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 2: the Seahawks the week eighteen, and they got the game

1340
01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:18,760
Speaker 2: at home. The Rams do. Now. The Christmas Day games

1341
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 2: had major implications. The Chiefs needed just one victory to

1342
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:25,760
Speaker 2: lock up home field advantage. They did it. They beat Pittsburgh,

1343
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 2: the Steelers lost the AFC North lead, Baltimore took over

1344
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:32,599
Speaker 2: first place. They blew out the Texans. Baltimore is one

1345
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 2: still one went away from clinching the AFC North. So

1346
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 2: let's do this in super rapid fashion. But I'm gonna

1347
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:42,840
Speaker 2: give it to you man. Okay, you already know the

1348
01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:44,600
Speaker 2: Chiefs get the loan, buy on the conference. They can

1349
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:47,719
Speaker 2: Restler starts a week eighteen. They have to visit Denver.

1350
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:51,400
Speaker 2: You know Denver's gonna be motivated. That's next week. They're

1351
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 2: fifteen to one. The Bills needed the Chiefs to lose

1352
01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:55,760
Speaker 2: out they have a shot the number one seat. That

1353
01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 2: didn't happen. So the Bills just need one win in

1354
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:01,719
Speaker 2: their final two games to lock up the number two seed.

1355
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:03,720
Speaker 2: Those games will be at home against the Jets, where

1356
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 2: they're a ten point favorite, and at New England Baltimore

1357
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:09,719
Speaker 2: has a number three seed. They've taken over the AFC

1358
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 2: North lead with their win over Houston and the Steelers losing.

1359
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:16,800
Speaker 2: They have a one game lead over Pittsburgh. A win

1360
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:20,519
Speaker 2: or a Steelers loss in Week eighteen, Baltimore wins the division.

1361
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 2: Baltimore plays at home against the Browns. The Texans hanging

1362
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 2: on to that number four seed. They've already clinched the

1363
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:30,439
Speaker 2: AFC South. Believe it or not, they will be the

1364
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:32,680
Speaker 2: number four seed in the AFC. They will have a

1365
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:35,440
Speaker 2: home game in the wildcard round of the playoffs. Regardless.

1366
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:39,040
Speaker 2: They have one game left at Tennessee. Pittsburgh has the

1367
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:42,920
Speaker 2: number five seed. The Steelers lost the AFCED North, which

1368
01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 2: I just told you after falling to the Chiefs. They

1369
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 2: need a win and a Ravens loss in the final

1370
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:52,200
Speaker 2: week to win the division. Pittsburgh does hold the tiebreaker

1371
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:54,559
Speaker 2: over the Chargers for the number five seed because they

1372
01:09:54,640 --> 01:09:56,680
Speaker 2: beat Los Angeles in Wage three. Their final game of

1373
01:09:56,720 --> 01:10:01,000
Speaker 2: the year home against Cincinnati, and Cincinnati is they must

1374
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:03,320
Speaker 2: win for Cincinnati and they still need all kinds of help.

1375
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:07,000
Speaker 2: Chargers clinch their playoff berth. They're gonna be the number

1376
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,800
Speaker 2: six seed by beating the Patriots. They do have one

1377
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:12,679
Speaker 2: remaining home game here or check that one remaining game

1378
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:17,880
Speaker 2: right here in lost face against the Raiders on Sunday,

1379
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:23,960
Speaker 2: January fifth. The Broncos currently is this season in and today,

1380
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:26,360
Speaker 2: which it doesn't. They're the number seven seed. They're one

1381
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:29,160
Speaker 2: went away from clinching a playoff spot, even though they

1382
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:31,200
Speaker 2: lost to the Bengals Saturday. That they need to win

1383
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:36,719
Speaker 2: in Week eighteen at home against the Chiefs to ensure

1384
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 2: their playoff spot, and I'm assuming the Chiefs will be

1385
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:43,240
Speaker 2: resting their starters the number eight seed right now outside

1386
01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:45,960
Speaker 2: looking in. Yeah, I know, the Bengals are alive thanks

1387
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:48,799
Speaker 2: to their overtime win, but they got a winning Week eighteen,

1388
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:50,800
Speaker 2: and they need the Broncos to lose in Miami and

1389
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:53,639
Speaker 2: Indianapolis lose one of their final two games. Meanwhile, Cincinnati

1390
01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 2: visits Pittsburgh. Good luck. Colts are one and a half

1391
01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:57,720
Speaker 2: games out of the field. They are still are on

1392
01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:00,000
Speaker 2: the number nine seed. They're not dead, but they get

1393
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:01,200
Speaker 2: one foot in the grave and the other out a

1394
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 2: banana peal. They got a head to head tiebreaker over

1395
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:06,120
Speaker 2: the Dolphins for the nine seed. The remaining schedule at

1396
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:08,760
Speaker 2: Giants versus Jaguars I think you can write Miami off.

1397
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:11,600
Speaker 2: There's no lead, need to go. You already know who's eliminated,

1398
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:13,960
Speaker 2: right They've been eliminated, The Raiders, Patriots tight and blah

1399
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:17,080
Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah. I look at the NFC playoff

1400
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:19,559
Speaker 2: picture right now. The Lions remain the number one seed

1401
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:22,880
Speaker 2: in the conference thirteen and two. They're also tied for

1402
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:25,800
Speaker 2: the NFC North lead with the Vikings, and they hold

1403
01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:28,400
Speaker 2: they head to head tiebreaker. Detroit will clinch the number

1404
01:11:28,400 --> 01:11:30,920
Speaker 2: one seed if they beat San Francisco Monday night and

1405
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:37,200
Speaker 2: Minnesota loses. Not that game with Minnesota and Ford Field

1406
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:39,600
Speaker 2: next week will be a doozy Phillies. They're in the

1407
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 2: hunt for home field advantage, but they need the Lions

1408
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:45,479
Speaker 2: to lose out. Yeah, I don't think it's gonna happen. Good,

1409
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:47,439
Speaker 2: but I don't think it's gonna happen. And they also

1410
01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:49,720
Speaker 2: need the Vikings to lose next week in Minnesota to

1411
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:53,320
Speaker 2: beat Detroit in week eighteen. Maybe they need the Vikings

1412
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:57,479
Speaker 2: to lose stitt of today, all right, Eagles play the

1413
01:11:57,479 --> 01:12:00,400
Speaker 2: Cowboys and the Giants. Philly can clinch the number two seed,

1414
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:02,720
Speaker 2: which is winning one game in its final two games,

1415
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 2: and they got the Cowboys and Giants. Rams. They maintain

1416
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:07,800
Speaker 2: their NFC West lead and a number three seed by

1417
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:10,720
Speaker 2: the virtue of their You know, well, they have a

1418
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:13,320
Speaker 2: game lead over the Seahawks because they beat the Cardinals.

1419
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:16,799
Speaker 2: Rams can clinch the division next week just by beating

1420
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:20,840
Speaker 2: the Seahawks, or they can They can clinch you by

1421
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:23,920
Speaker 2: sitting around Sunday and Monday, as long as three of

1422
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:27,920
Speaker 2: these five teams win. Bill's Browns, Vikings, Commanders are Niners.

1423
01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:33,040
Speaker 2: That's Sunday today. If not, that doesn't happen. Beat the

1424
01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:36,920
Speaker 2: Seahawks next Sunday. Falcon's currently the number four seed. They

1425
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:39,240
Speaker 2: lead the NFC South. They can clinch the division with

1426
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:42,160
Speaker 2: a win and a Buccaneers lost. The Buccaneers are home

1427
01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:46,000
Speaker 2: Inames Carolina and oh, by the way, Atlanta, they head

1428
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:50,040
Speaker 2: to Washington and then they are home against the Panthers.

1429
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:52,160
Speaker 2: They hold the head head tiebreaker over Tampa Bay and

1430
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 2: they do control their own destiny, all right, Just beat

1431
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:58,880
Speaker 2: Washington later today and they're in number four seed. The

1432
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:00,720
Speaker 2: Vikings are the top one ald card team in the

1433
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:03,600
Speaker 2: NFC the number five seed. They're tied with Detroit for

1434
01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 2: first place in the NFC North Detroit still has the

1435
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:08,639
Speaker 2: division lead, though via they head to head tiebreaker. I've

1436
01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 2: already explained it earlier. We'll see what happens if the

1437
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:13,479
Speaker 2: Vikings win Sunday and what happens with the Lions and

1438
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:17,719
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers. Depending on those outcomes. Next Sunday's game

1439
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:21,040
Speaker 2: in Detroit between Minnesota and the Lions could be for

1440
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:24,000
Speaker 2: all the marbles. Green Bay the number six seed. They've

1441
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:26,040
Speaker 2: already clinched the playoff birth. They're the number six seed

1442
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:29,599
Speaker 2: in the NFC. They're at Minnesota Sunday and home against

1443
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:32,400
Speaker 2: the Bears the following week. Commanders in that last spot

1444
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:35,639
Speaker 2: right now, the number seven seed, they lead the Bucks

1445
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:38,639
Speaker 2: and Seahawks by two games for the final playoff spot.

1446
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:41,639
Speaker 2: They can clinch a playoff berth with a win Sunday

1447
01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:44,840
Speaker 2: against home against the Falcons, or if Tampa Bay loses

1448
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:48,519
Speaker 2: at home against Carolina and then they visit the Cowboys

1449
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 2: next week. I expect that to happen. The Seahawks are

1450
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:53,360
Speaker 2: really up against it. They're a game back for the

1451
01:13:53,479 --> 01:13:56,200
Speaker 2: NFC West lead. The Rams hold the ted the tie breaker.

1452
01:13:56,640 --> 01:13:59,880
Speaker 2: The Rams winning Saturday doesn't eliminate the Seahawks. I've already

1453
01:13:59,880 --> 01:14:01,920
Speaker 2: get in all the scenarios. But if only two of

1454
01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:03,559
Speaker 2: those teams win, or none of them win, or less

1455
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:06,800
Speaker 2: than three. The next week, the Rams beat the Seahawks. Rams,

1456
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:08,519
Speaker 2: I think are already in the playoffs, but they can

1457
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:11,640
Speaker 2: lose the division. Seattle's got to win or they're not in.

1458
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:14,160
Speaker 2: They got to win the division and they're at the Rams.

1459
01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:16,280
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay is still on the outside looking in. They

1460
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:18,600
Speaker 2: drop from NFC South leaders to completely out of the

1461
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 2: playoff picture. They need to finish with a better record

1462
01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:23,400
Speaker 2: than the Falcons to win the division. And since they

1463
01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:27,160
Speaker 2: lost both games to Atlanta, if the Bucks somehow lose

1464
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:31,040
Speaker 2: at home against Carolina or the Saints, they have two

1465
01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:35,120
Speaker 2: home games, you know, then that wraps up the playoff

1466
01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:39,320
Speaker 2: berth for the Commanders. This can change. We all know

1467
01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:42,559
Speaker 2: that in the National Football League you learn to expect

1468
01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:46,720
Speaker 2: the unexpected. One thing that's unexpected is there was some

1469
01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:53,559
Speaker 2: question as to how Netflix would fare with their double

1470
01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:57,720
Speaker 2: header on Christmas Day and the National Football League. Oh

1471
01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:01,160
Speaker 2: my god, you talk about exceeding expectation. They're dancing in

1472
01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:04,000
Speaker 2: the owls in the NFL and they're dancing in the

1473
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:07,639
Speaker 2: aisles at Netflix. I'll bring it up next I'm Bernie

Speaker 2: your podcasts. You see the show posted right after we

1494
01:16:11,240 --> 01:16:14,360
Speaker 2: get off the air. You know, it wasn't that long

1495
01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:19,080
Speaker 2: ago when Mike Tyson fought Jake Paul and Netflix streamed

1496
01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:23,479
Speaker 2: it to a very big US audience, and there were

1497
01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:29,639
Speaker 2: some glitches. So there were some questions going into how

1498
01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:34,280
Speaker 2: well Netflix would perform on Christmas Day with their doubleheader

1499
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:40,080
Speaker 2: the chief Steelers and Ravens Texans. Oh nothing. They merely

1500
01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:44,000
Speaker 2: broke the NFL record for a US streaming audience for

1501
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:50,080
Speaker 2: an NFL game, averaging averaging twenty five million domestic viewers

1502
01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:52,920
Speaker 2: to the Chiefs in Pittsburgh game, and the Ravens Texas

1503
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:55,120
Speaker 2: game was just under that twenty four point three million,

1504
01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:58,719
Speaker 2: and then Beyonce proved to be an even bigger draw.

1505
01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:03,280
Speaker 2: The halftime show do twenty seven million viewers according to Netflix,

1506
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:06,439
Speaker 2: which is the highest audience peak during the two games.

1507
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:11,760
Speaker 2: And they're going to release the global ratings on Tuesday.

1508
01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:17,240
Speaker 2: But viewers for more than two hundred countries, two hundred

1509
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:22,679
Speaker 2: countries tuned in to watch the NFL on on Christmas Day, right,

1510
01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:26,880
Speaker 2: And I think that for Netflix to pull this off,

1511
01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:31,080
Speaker 2: they are thrilled. The NFL is thrilled because the NFL

1512
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:35,400
Speaker 2: created this new, you know, bid for future TV rights.

1513
01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:39,000
Speaker 2: Netflix paid reported one hundred and fifty million per year

1514
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:41,559
Speaker 2: for these games, along with the rights to air Christmas

1515
01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:46,040
Speaker 2: Day games next year and the following year. And you

1516
01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:49,200
Speaker 2: gotta give them credit. They put on a relatively glitch

1517
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:52,760
Speaker 2: free game and the fans can find game. I thought

1518
01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:57,320
Speaker 2: that it was clear. I liked the broadcast team. And look,

1519
01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:00,600
Speaker 2: the NBA and the NFL are going to now coexist

1520
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:04,519
Speaker 2: on Christmas Day. I don't care what Lebron James had

1521
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:07,760
Speaker 2: to say. I love the NFL, but Christmas is our day.

1522
01:18:07,760 --> 01:18:09,479
Speaker 2: Thanks for checking in, Lebron, and you love to do

1523
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:12,200
Speaker 2: that when no one asks you. But the NBA had

1524
01:18:12,200 --> 01:18:15,960
Speaker 2: good ratings, is true? Okay. The nice thing is you

1525
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:19,200
Speaker 2: can actually hold two thoughts concurrently on this. The NFL

1526
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:21,760
Speaker 2: will crush everybody on Christmas, but the NBA can also

1527
01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:25,640
Speaker 2: have a nice thing too, right by the way. You

1528
01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:31,240
Speaker 2: wonder what's next for Netflix? Yep, WWE. They just signed

1529
01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:34,080
Speaker 2: a ten year, five billion dollar a year to bring

1530
01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:39,479
Speaker 2: WWE Live events to its platform. That debuts January sixth,

1531
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:42,360
Speaker 2: And we'll see how they do. But I will tell

1532
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:44,960
Speaker 2: you I thought they on behalf of the bound they

1533
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:49,400
Speaker 2: post their audition, Netflix did a fine job on Christmas Day.

1534
01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:54,280
Speaker 2: I watched it. It worked and they had I think,

1535
01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:56,439
Speaker 2: at one point as many as sixty five million viewers

1536
01:18:56,800 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 2: worldwide tuning in. That's got to make Roger Goodell as

1537
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:03,760
Speaker 2: he INFL just continues to print money. Coming up, I

1538
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:06,479
Speaker 2: got some more takeaways from Saturday's game. I'm not done yet.

1539
01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:08,760
Speaker 2: Keep it locked. You're listening to the Bernie Fraddle Show

Speaker 2: tire buying should be. Well. We're nine hours away from

1548
01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:43,240
Speaker 2: the resumption of NFL Week seventeen and more playoff implications.

1549
01:19:43,240 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 2: It's been a crazy week. We started out with a

1550
01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:47,920
Speaker 2: double header on Wednesday, we had games on Thursday, a

1551
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 2: triple header on Saturday. We have nine games on Sunday

1552
01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:55,280
Speaker 2: and then back Monday night. Lions visit the forty nine

1553
01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:58,600
Speaker 2: ers and there were multiple takeaways. Today I had the

1554
01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:02,840
Speaker 2: lead with the Bengals and Joe Burrow because there just

1555
01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:07,000
Speaker 2: isn't There just simply isn't anybody playing quarterback better than

1556
01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:10,800
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow is right now in the NFL. Josh Allen

1557
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:14,880
Speaker 2: gets his flowers as well he should, and part of

1558
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:18,000
Speaker 2: the reason is he's a big dude and does things

1559
01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:22,519
Speaker 2: that people normal people can't do. But Joe Burrow doesn't

1560
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:24,280
Speaker 2: have the size of Josh Allen, so it doesn't quite

1561
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:28,080
Speaker 2: get the you know, the excitement factor he doesn't have.

1562
01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:31,400
Speaker 2: The Burrow doesn't have this, you know, the athletic ability

1563
01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:34,719
Speaker 2: and that's twitchiness that Lamar Jackson has, and he doesn't

1564
01:20:34,720 --> 01:20:36,760
Speaker 2: have that. Patrick Mahomes with Steke yes some of it.

1565
01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:40,040
Speaker 2: And even Mahomes has pretty damn good arm talent and

1566
01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:42,040
Speaker 2: he's won three Super Bowls. So but you can make

1567
01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:46,799
Speaker 2: the case that right now Joe Burrow is playing quarterback

1568
01:20:46,840 --> 01:20:49,720
Speaker 2: better than anybody else in the league. Despite oh by

1569
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:53,840
Speaker 2: the way, having major surgery on his throwing hand this offseason,

1570
01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:56,920
Speaker 2: guy's playing the best football of his career. He's thrown

1571
01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:00,400
Speaker 2: now three touchdown passes in eight straight games, and against

1572
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:03,560
Speaker 2: the Broncos he threw for over four hundred scored four touchdowns,

1573
01:21:03,720 --> 01:21:06,880
Speaker 2: and he must win game. The rest of the Bengals team, well,

1574
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:10,000
Speaker 2: except for you know, a few bright spots, T. Higgins, etc.

1575
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:13,840
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase, They're a dumpster fire. They're a dumpster fire.

1576
01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:17,920
Speaker 2: With Burrow four hundred plus passing yards with four plus

1577
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 2: touchdowns and no turnovers. Burrow's done it twice in the

1578
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:23,120
Speaker 2: past five weeks. The rest of the NFL has done

1579
01:21:23,120 --> 01:21:26,760
Speaker 2: it twice the entire year. Bengals need a lot of

1580
01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:29,000
Speaker 2: help to get where they need to get, but it

1581
01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:34,519
Speaker 2: ain't Burrow's fault. Okay. A couple of other takeaways that

1582
01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:41,200
Speaker 2: I had from Saturday's games. Look, you don't want to

1583
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:45,200
Speaker 2: follow a legend. And Bill, let's be honest. Bill Belichick's

1584
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:49,280
Speaker 2: last couple of years in New England, we're not exactly stellar.

1585
01:21:49,479 --> 01:21:55,120
Speaker 2: We all know that. And if you transaction transition excuse me,

1586
01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:59,320
Speaker 2: from Bill Belichick to any new head coach, it's going

1587
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:03,639
Speaker 2: to be a tough transition. But did you really think

1588
01:22:03,680 --> 01:22:07,280
Speaker 2: would be this bad? With all due respect to girod Mayo,

1589
01:22:07,520 --> 01:22:10,760
Speaker 2: who's been in the building, who you know is part

1590
01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:15,880
Speaker 2: of that Patriot miss due he was a player, but

1591
01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:19,360
Speaker 2: the Pats have had a really bad year. And I

1592
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:22,679
Speaker 2: think you know, you don't get a lot of chances

1593
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:25,600
Speaker 2: to see the Patriots in a standalone game, but you

1594
01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:29,960
Speaker 2: got to Saturday afternoon, and frankly, New England was embarrassed

1595
01:22:29,960 --> 01:22:34,559
Speaker 2: at home the Chargers. They scored forty points, racked up

1596
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:37,880
Speaker 2: over four hundred yards of offense despite most of the

1597
01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:43,360
Speaker 2: first stream players rusting half the second half, New England's

1598
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:46,840
Speaker 2: defense couldn't get off the field. And here's the problem.

1599
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:52,720
Speaker 2: If you look closely, you can see this New England.

1600
01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:57,639
Speaker 2: It wasn't that their defense just performed poorly. The effort

1601
01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:02,520
Speaker 2: level appears to be declining. The offense Drake may has flashes,

1602
01:23:03,200 --> 01:23:05,760
Speaker 2: but it was bad. You expect your offense to be bad.

1603
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:08,360
Speaker 2: But if you can only total one hundred and eighty

1604
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:10,639
Speaker 2: one yards in an NFL game when you're playing at home,

1605
01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:13,519
Speaker 2: now you have reached the embarrassment level. And when the

1606
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:16,320
Speaker 2: defense can't get off the field and it appears I'm

1607
01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:20,519
Speaker 2: not saying they quit, but the sharer zell not playing hard. Now,

1608
01:23:21,120 --> 01:23:24,479
Speaker 2: if you're Robert Kraft, what do you do. I've never

1609
01:23:24,560 --> 01:23:29,439
Speaker 2: advocated for a coach to be fired, but when they are,

1610
01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:33,840
Speaker 2: I typically don't feel sorry for him. Craft is not

1611
01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:35,759
Speaker 2: going to want to fire the first coach to replace

1612
01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:39,160
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick after one season. But if you listen to

1613
01:23:39,160 --> 01:23:41,639
Speaker 2: the scuttle but he might not have a choice. Whatever

1614
01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:45,120
Speaker 2: the hell is going on there, the locker room isn't

1615
01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:49,040
Speaker 2: buying in. Mayo sent some crazy things. This team is

1616
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:53,760
Speaker 2: one of the worst coached in the entire league. And

1617
01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:56,320
Speaker 2: what do you do if you're New England. This is

1618
01:23:56,360 --> 01:23:58,599
Speaker 2: just a takeaway head today. Do you just cut bait

1619
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:05,240
Speaker 2: and you say, ok K, twenty twenty four was a miss,

1620
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:08,720
Speaker 2: a bad one. Seems like a massive mistake if you

1621
01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:12,559
Speaker 2: bring him back in twenty twenty five. But see, it's

1622
01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:15,960
Speaker 2: hard to it's hard to say what the Pats are

1623
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:18,599
Speaker 2: going to do. They have a cropper rookie receivers who've

1624
01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:21,759
Speaker 2: given him less than one hundred total yards this season,

1625
01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:26,759
Speaker 2: the offensive line probably the worst in the league, arguably

1626
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:30,200
Speaker 2: the worst of the league. And now the defense they allow.

1627
01:24:30,280 --> 01:24:31,559
Speaker 2: You know, they fall out of bet and they allow

1628
01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:33,120
Speaker 2: twenty five points a game. They have a lot of

1629
01:24:33,200 --> 01:24:37,120
Speaker 2: six straight games. But there is one you know component

1630
01:24:37,240 --> 01:24:40,840
Speaker 2: here too, is that moving forward, their rookie quarterback Drake

1631
01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:44,240
Speaker 2: may does continue to develop and they have put somewhat

1632
01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:48,439
Speaker 2: functional offense around them. But here's the question is to

1633
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:51,600
Speaker 2: develop Drake may which is the one bright spot. Is

1634
01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:55,800
Speaker 2: Gerrod Mayo the right coach to do that. It's not

1635
01:24:55,960 --> 01:25:01,800
Speaker 2: his specialty and it doesn't feel like, you know, on

1636
01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:04,960
Speaker 2: game day from the sidelines he has much of an

1637
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:08,760
Speaker 2: impact on Drake may These are just observations I made.

1638
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:11,800
Speaker 2: The body language is poor. The body language is poor

1639
01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:15,599
Speaker 2: all the way around. So it's just something to watch.

1640
01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:18,960
Speaker 2: I don't know that that will happen. I'm not suggesting

1641
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:22,360
Speaker 2: that happens, but I'm telling you based on what I

1642
01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:29,200
Speaker 2: saw on Saturday, Williams got a real problem. Conversely, Sean

1643
01:25:29,240 --> 01:25:33,639
Speaker 2: Payton seems to has been seems to have been done.

1644
01:25:33,680 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 2: Wonders with this Denver team, considering where they were last

1645
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:39,120
Speaker 2: year and certainly two years ago. Their offense has actually

1646
01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:43,439
Speaker 2: been pretty solid considering remember they're starting a rookie quarterback

1647
01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:50,240
Speaker 2: and if you can name their skilled position group then

1648
01:25:50,280 --> 01:25:54,880
Speaker 2: you can win Jeopardy. Okay, and if they get a

1649
01:25:54,920 --> 01:25:59,040
Speaker 2: win next week against Kansas City, which largely I believe

1650
01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:02,920
Speaker 2: will be playing their back during the postseason. But the

1651
01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:04,760
Speaker 2: offense has had a lot of weeks where they get

1652
01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:06,639
Speaker 2: off to a slow start, they play with their food

1653
01:26:07,479 --> 01:26:10,640
Speaker 2: and starting to cost them. And against the Bengals, they

1654
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:12,840
Speaker 2: never had to lead once after the offense scored just

1655
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:16,320
Speaker 2: ten total points in the first three quarters. But here's okay,

1656
01:26:16,360 --> 01:26:20,560
Speaker 2: here's back to the no name position group and an observation.

1657
01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:27,160
Speaker 2: They got a receiver named Marvin Mims Junior. When they

1658
01:26:27,200 --> 01:26:30,320
Speaker 2: got him involved, the offense started to click and that's

1659
01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:34,200
Speaker 2: when they started to have some explosion. Broncos were down

1660
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:37,479
Speaker 2: seventeen to ten with less than ten minutes remaining in

1661
01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:40,439
Speaker 2: the game. Remember there's ten minutes in the game. The

1662
01:26:40,479 --> 01:26:43,840
Speaker 2: Broncos only scored ten points. All of a sudden, Bownecks

1663
01:26:43,880 --> 01:26:46,439
Speaker 2: connected with Mims on a fifty one yard touchdown pass

1664
01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:49,520
Speaker 2: and it was a highlight reel type of a pass

1665
01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:54,719
Speaker 2: that tied the game and it electrified the Broncos. Now,

1666
01:26:55,920 --> 01:27:00,360
Speaker 2: on paper, coming into the National Football League, Marvin Mims

1667
01:27:00,400 --> 01:27:02,320
Speaker 2: was one of the most explosive receivers in the country

1668
01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:06,759
Speaker 2: coming out of Oklahoma. So after watching what happened today,

1669
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:11,280
Speaker 2: why aren't they stretching the field more with Marvin Mims?

1670
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:14,200
Speaker 2: And I'll be curious of what they do next week

1671
01:27:14,240 --> 01:27:17,680
Speaker 2: and beyond Most of his offensive touches had been right

1672
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:20,360
Speaker 2: around the line of scrimmage, but all of a sudden,

1673
01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:24,519
Speaker 2: now in week seventeen, they started to target him down

1674
01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:26,960
Speaker 2: the field. The NFL is a big play league, stretched

1675
01:27:26,960 --> 01:27:30,679
Speaker 2: the defense. With nearly no time left on the clock,

1676
01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:34,680
Speaker 2: Mims caught another incredible touchdown to take the game to overtime.

1677
01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:37,439
Speaker 2: He was double covered, he was bracketed. He must have

1678
01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:40,960
Speaker 2: had a forty inch vertical lead. He went up and

1679
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:44,720
Speaker 2: secured the ball. Bo Nicks was just running around like

1680
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:47,639
Speaker 2: a whirling dervis. She has incredible arm strength. He's running

1681
01:27:47,640 --> 01:27:52,120
Speaker 2: away from the play and just launched a helicopter. Mims

1682
01:27:52,160 --> 01:27:56,120
Speaker 2: went up and got it. Mims wrestled the ball away

1683
01:27:56,280 --> 01:27:59,880
Speaker 2: legit from two defenders, managed to complete the catching bounds.

1684
01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:03,559
Speaker 2: I remember watching this live. My buddy Joe Gibbs text

1685
01:28:03,560 --> 01:28:04,920
Speaker 2: me he was at a catcher. Wait, damn, it would

1686
01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:09,240
Speaker 2: better be a better be because every time that's one

1687
01:28:09,280 --> 01:28:11,519
Speaker 2: of the problems with the only problems with the NFL product.

1688
01:28:11,560 --> 01:28:14,160
Speaker 2: Right now, a play takes place on the field and

1689
01:28:14,240 --> 01:28:18,799
Speaker 2: you got to wait to see what the walks determined. Well,

1690
01:28:18,840 --> 01:28:20,200
Speaker 2: was it a catch? Was it not a catch? Was

1691
01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:21,960
Speaker 2: he in bounds? Was the out of bounds. It's a touchdown,

1692
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:25,360
Speaker 2: out of touchdown. I'm like, that's a damn catch. Can

1693
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:28,400
Speaker 2: we knock off the Bolognian? Sure enough, the call stood

1694
01:28:29,479 --> 01:28:32,320
Speaker 2: and then you hear all the analysts. Well, let's see,

1695
01:28:32,640 --> 01:28:35,000
Speaker 2: he caught the ball. He came down, but the ball

1696
01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:36,800
Speaker 2: started to move, and then he wrestled it and he

1697
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:39,120
Speaker 2: could he created it next to his knee. He had

1698
01:28:39,160 --> 01:28:41,719
Speaker 2: a Twinkie in his pocket and might have shifted one centimeter.

1699
01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:43,599
Speaker 2: Then then all of a sudden, the left hand came over.

1700
01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:45,320
Speaker 2: But we didn't see you touch the ground. I'm like,

1701
01:28:45,600 --> 01:28:48,519
Speaker 2: what the hell are we doing anymore? What are we doing?

1702
01:28:48,880 --> 01:28:51,439
Speaker 2: I like the old Steve Mariucci line. If twenty people

1703
01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:52,760
Speaker 2: are watching the game in a bar and they say

1704
01:28:52,760 --> 01:28:55,439
Speaker 2: that's a touchdown, that's a touchdown. Well that was a touchdown. Okay,

1705
01:28:55,680 --> 01:28:58,840
Speaker 2: I got off on a tangent there, but Mims was

1706
01:28:59,080 --> 01:29:02,160
Speaker 2: legitimately able to wrestle the ball away from dude defenders

1707
01:29:02,439 --> 01:29:05,720
Speaker 2: go high in the air to secure it. It was

1708
01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:09,559
Speaker 2: a touchdown. The Broncos stayed alive and that was clearly

1709
01:29:10,160 --> 01:29:12,280
Speaker 2: the biggest play of his career. But why did it

1710
01:29:12,320 --> 01:29:14,120
Speaker 2: take to week seventeen to make a play like that,

1711
01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:19,320
Speaker 2: all right, In five of his last six games, he's

1712
01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:23,800
Speaker 2: not starting to, you know, accumulate some yardage, never a lot.

1713
01:29:24,280 --> 01:29:27,000
Speaker 2: Today was his biggest day. But there needs to be

1714
01:29:27,080 --> 01:29:30,639
Speaker 2: more Courtland Sutton is clear number one. But Mims has speed,

1715
01:29:31,120 --> 01:29:34,920
Speaker 2: He's dynamic, he's got explosion. This is what the Denver

1716
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:39,320
Speaker 2: offense lacks. It's right there in front of you. I'm

1717
01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:43,439
Speaker 2: not saying he's the best polished receiver in the receiver room,

1718
01:29:43,840 --> 01:29:46,960
Speaker 2: but no one's gonna tell me anybody else in that

1719
01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:51,160
Speaker 2: receiver room is going to have more talent. I don't understand.

1720
01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:54,280
Speaker 2: Get this guy snaps if you here's the deal. Let's

1721
01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:57,240
Speaker 2: say Denver does beat Kansas City next week. Guess who

1722
01:29:57,240 --> 01:30:00,479
Speaker 2: they're going to play in Week one? Buffalo Buffalo falls

1723
01:30:00,479 --> 01:30:02,760
Speaker 2: out of betting scores twenty eight points at home, twenty

1724
01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:08,280
Speaker 2: seven points at home? Can Denver score twenty eight? Well,

1725
01:30:08,320 --> 01:30:11,600
Speaker 2: if they get Mims involved, they got a chance. And

1726
01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:15,640
Speaker 2: by the way, while I'm at it, listen, I love

1727
01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:19,799
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase. He's the deal. You better pay t Higgins.

1728
01:30:20,240 --> 01:30:22,400
Speaker 2: You saw what happened when guys like Jesse Bates left

1729
01:30:22,400 --> 01:30:25,680
Speaker 2: town Cincinnati. Higgins bego is set to become an unrestricted

1730
01:30:25,680 --> 01:30:28,840
Speaker 2: free agent, and I guarantee if he does, he'll get

1731
01:30:28,880 --> 01:30:33,080
Speaker 2: offers from ten teams. He'll command thirty million bucks. I

1732
01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:35,080
Speaker 2: think you see the Chargers go after him, the Steelers,

1733
01:30:35,080 --> 01:30:37,639
Speaker 2: maybe even the Raiders because they got the cap space.

1734
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:40,639
Speaker 2: He needs to be one of the highest paid receivers

1735
01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:42,639
Speaker 2: in the league. He caught three touchdowns in the win

1736
01:30:42,680 --> 01:30:45,200
Speaker 2: against the Broncos Saturday, and the final drive of the game,

1737
01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:47,559
Speaker 2: he caught that thirty one yard passed down the middle

1738
01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:50,000
Speaker 2: or down the sideline, excuse me to give the ball.

1739
01:30:50,040 --> 01:30:52,240
Speaker 2: The Bengals the ball at the Denver three yard line,

1740
01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:55,240
Speaker 2: and then he caught the game winning touchdown to keep

1741
01:30:55,280 --> 01:30:58,920
Speaker 2: Cincinnati's playoff hopes alive. So it'll be tough for the

1742
01:30:58,960 --> 01:31:03,720
Speaker 2: Bengals to pay to receivers thirty million a year. They

1743
01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:07,360
Speaker 2: got an expensive quarterback, but it shouldn't even be a discussion.

1744
01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:10,360
Speaker 2: This dude is quote unquote and this is what you

1745
01:31:10,439 --> 01:31:15,240
Speaker 2: look for a difference maker. And he's a big reason

1746
01:31:15,280 --> 01:31:18,880
Speaker 2: why Cincinnati's offense has been so difficult to stop since

1747
01:31:18,880 --> 01:31:20,760
Speaker 2: he got back in the lineup. And I know the

1748
01:31:20,800 --> 01:31:24,080
Speaker 2: Bengals have historically been a little cheap when it comes

1749
01:31:24,080 --> 01:31:26,880
Speaker 2: out to giving big deals. You can't let this guy leave.

1750
01:31:27,360 --> 01:31:29,800
Speaker 2: You can't screw around this time. He's too good. He's

1751
01:31:29,840 --> 01:31:34,800
Speaker 2: only twenty five years old. Have you noticed the winning franchises,

1752
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:42,520
Speaker 2: the the what I would call the successful, the consistent,

1753
01:31:42,640 --> 01:31:45,479
Speaker 2: the winning franchises. They don't let their lead players walk

1754
01:31:45,520 --> 01:31:49,000
Speaker 2: out in their prime, So don't do it all right?

1755
01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:55,280
Speaker 2: One last thing, People have a tendency to remember most

1756
01:31:55,280 --> 01:32:00,240
Speaker 2: of what happened last especially betters, and after what happened Saturday?

1757
01:32:00,400 --> 01:32:04,040
Speaker 2: Are we going to be fooled that the Los Angeles

1758
01:32:04,080 --> 01:32:09,519
Speaker 2: Chargers are actually for real? Are we gonna be fooled

1759
01:32:09,520 --> 01:32:14,920
Speaker 2: by that? Now? They might actually be for real? But

1760
01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:17,840
Speaker 2: this is where I think you have to start a

1761
01:32:18,720 --> 01:32:22,400
Speaker 2: tread with caution. I really do. They have all the

1762
01:32:22,439 --> 01:32:27,559
Speaker 2: makings of a sleeper that could shock the world. They could.

1763
01:32:28,160 --> 01:32:30,280
Speaker 2: You got Jim Harbaugh, one of the best head coaches

1764
01:32:30,320 --> 01:32:32,840
Speaker 2: in football, You pair him with an elite quarterback of

1765
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:37,680
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert, and heading into Saturday's games, he had the

1766
01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:42,040
Speaker 2: number two ranks scoring defense, and you would statistically that's

1767
01:32:42,080 --> 01:32:45,000
Speaker 2: going to improve because they just held the Patriots to

1768
01:32:45,520 --> 01:32:48,519
Speaker 2: only seven points Saturday. But why is it? I just

1769
01:32:48,560 --> 01:32:51,400
Speaker 2: can't trust the Chargers. Even though they were completely dominant

1770
01:32:51,880 --> 01:32:55,320
Speaker 2: against the Patriots, the game was over halfway through the

1771
01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:59,799
Speaker 2: second quarter. After that, it looked like, you know, seniors

1772
01:33:00,200 --> 01:33:04,720
Speaker 2: scrimmaging against freshmen. It was, by and large a great performance.

1773
01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:06,720
Speaker 2: You can tell Harball had his team ready to go.

1774
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:09,919
Speaker 2: They had a nine day break. They beat the Broncos

1775
01:33:09,920 --> 01:33:12,960
Speaker 2: in a huge Thursday night game in Week sixteen. But

1776
01:33:13,040 --> 01:33:15,559
Speaker 2: here's the deal of the week before that. Remember this

1777
01:33:15,680 --> 01:33:18,160
Speaker 2: is the same Charger team that at home lost to

1778
01:33:18,200 --> 01:33:21,960
Speaker 2: the Buccaneers forty to seventeen. How the hell do they

1779
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:25,440
Speaker 2: show no fight in that game? Baker Mayfield torched the secondary.

1780
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:28,120
Speaker 2: The offense was not great. It's been an issue for

1781
01:33:28,120 --> 01:33:31,040
Speaker 2: several weeks. Now they get JK. Dobbins back, but they

1782
01:33:31,160 --> 01:33:34,599
Speaker 2: scored just seventeen points in three straight weeks against the Falcons,

1783
01:33:34,680 --> 01:33:37,360
Speaker 2: Chiefs and Bucks. And they struggle against the top con

1784
01:33:37,439 --> 01:33:41,759
Speaker 2: Canners in the conference. Oh yeah, here comes the hard part, peewee.

1785
01:33:42,360 --> 01:33:44,599
Speaker 2: The Chargers are owing to four against the Chiefs, Ravens

1786
01:33:44,600 --> 01:33:48,000
Speaker 2: and the Steelers. They've been competitive in all four games,

1787
01:33:48,720 --> 01:33:51,479
Speaker 2: but they can't close those games out. So will the

1788
01:33:51,680 --> 01:33:57,080
Speaker 2: real Chargers stand up? Can they do in the postseason

1789
01:33:58,560 --> 01:34:02,000
Speaker 2: against playoff caliber teams what they have not been able

1790
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:04,959
Speaker 2: to do in the regular season. I gotta be convinced.

1791
01:34:05,160 --> 01:34:08,880
Speaker 2: They have the infrastructure, they have the roster, they have

1792
01:34:08,920 --> 01:34:10,720
Speaker 2: the head coach, they have the quarterback. At any given

1793
01:34:10,720 --> 01:34:14,240
Speaker 2: a week, they show flashes of looking like a legit

1794
01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:18,639
Speaker 2: Super Bowl contender, but against the better opponents, for some reason,

1795
01:34:18,680 --> 01:34:22,200
Speaker 2: they look a lot different. Not for some reason, they're

1796
01:34:22,240 --> 01:34:24,519
Speaker 2: good enough to not look a lot different, but they

1797
01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:29,320
Speaker 2: look a lot different. So you ask yourself, are the

1798
01:34:29,439 --> 01:34:31,120
Speaker 2: Chargers of the type of team that can go into

1799
01:34:31,160 --> 01:34:35,320
Speaker 2: Buffalo or Baltimore and win in the playoffs? Or Kansas City?

1800
01:34:35,479 --> 01:34:40,880
Speaker 2: It's hard to know, but if you overreact to what

1801
01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:44,760
Speaker 2: you saw Saturday, remember it was against the Patriots. Hard

1802
01:34:44,800 --> 01:34:46,479
Speaker 2: Balls team has been known to peak at the end

1803
01:34:46,520 --> 01:34:51,000
Speaker 2: of the season, and maybe, just maybe that's what's happening. Now.

1804
01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:56,160
Speaker 2: Those are my takeaways from Saturday's game. What was the

1805
01:34:56,200 --> 01:35:03,960
Speaker 2: most recognizable moment of Bull season? Uh, it's gonna surprise you.

1806
01:35:04,280 --> 01:35:07,639
Speaker 2: But when I tell you, you'll say, well, maybe I'm

1807
01:35:07,680 --> 01:35:10,599
Speaker 2: not that surprised, because I couldn't stop talking about this

1808
01:35:10,680 --> 01:35:14,880
Speaker 2: one goofy Bull game. I'm Bernie Fraddle. We're coming to

Speaker 2: you followed by what my name fresh? Additions? You like

1817
01:35:41,439 --> 01:35:43,920
Speaker 2: pop tarts? I love pop tarts. Now I haven't eaten

1818
01:35:43,960 --> 01:35:45,400
Speaker 2: them in about ten years, but I might have to

1819
01:35:45,400 --> 01:35:47,920
Speaker 2: go out and buy a box. And part of the

1820
01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:52,840
Speaker 2: reason I stopped eating pop tarts not because they don't

1821
01:35:52,920 --> 01:35:57,559
Speaker 2: like them, but I like them. But see, whoever came

1822
01:35:57,640 --> 01:36:01,439
Speaker 2: up with this package design is a freaking gene because

1823
01:36:01,439 --> 01:36:05,080
Speaker 2: the last time I ate them. So if you notice

1824
01:36:05,120 --> 01:36:08,320
Speaker 2: you buy a box, they come and they come in

1825
01:36:08,520 --> 01:36:13,639
Speaker 2: a package eight four individual packages that have two pop

1826
01:36:13,680 --> 01:36:17,080
Speaker 2: tarts each, So you know, you open the first package

1827
01:36:17,080 --> 01:36:19,160
Speaker 2: and you crush the first two because man, they taste

1828
01:36:19,200 --> 01:36:21,719
Speaker 2: so good. Maybe even heat them up in the microwave

1829
01:36:21,760 --> 01:36:23,840
Speaker 2: or toaster them or whatever. And I don't care if

1830
01:36:23,840 --> 01:36:26,959
Speaker 2: you like cherry or strawberry, you like the frosting, no frosting,

1831
01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:29,680
Speaker 2: or the brown sugar cinnamon, and you know where I'm

1832
01:36:29,720 --> 01:36:32,760
Speaker 2: going with this, man. So you eat the first two

1833
01:36:32,760 --> 01:36:34,240
Speaker 2: and you go, oh, man, I could use one more.

1834
01:36:34,600 --> 01:36:38,040
Speaker 2: I just didn't quite do it. So then you crack

1835
01:36:38,120 --> 01:36:41,080
Speaker 2: open the second wrapper and you eat a third one,

1836
01:36:41,160 --> 01:36:43,559
Speaker 2: and you say, we wait, you can't just you can't

1837
01:36:43,680 --> 01:36:45,439
Speaker 2: just leave an open wrapper. It'll get stale. You know

1838
01:36:45,439 --> 01:36:47,519
Speaker 2: where I'm going with that. So you crush the fourth

1839
01:36:47,520 --> 01:36:50,040
Speaker 2: one and you have a little milk and you say

1840
01:36:50,320 --> 01:36:54,519
Speaker 2: you wait a minute. You go, I'm not quite done.

1841
01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:57,880
Speaker 2: I could Yeah, well I'm gonna have that fifth one.

1842
01:36:58,400 --> 01:37:00,240
Speaker 2: So you crush the fifth one and you say, well,

1843
01:37:00,240 --> 01:37:03,519
Speaker 2: here we are back at that same scenario. I'm not

1844
01:37:03,520 --> 01:37:06,800
Speaker 2: gonna leave a package open. The damn thing will get stale. So,

1845
01:37:06,880 --> 01:37:09,760
Speaker 2: you know, you bury the sixth one, and you know what,

1846
01:37:10,400 --> 01:37:13,120
Speaker 2: You're still feeling pretty good. You're not in a food

1847
01:37:13,120 --> 01:37:15,599
Speaker 2: comb or anything. And then it dawns on you as

1848
01:37:15,640 --> 01:37:17,639
Speaker 2: you start to put the package back or the box

1849
01:37:17,680 --> 01:37:22,080
Speaker 2: back in the pantry, you say to yourself, wait a

1850
01:37:22,080 --> 01:37:26,160
Speaker 2: minute now, I'm not gonna just want two next time.

1851
01:37:26,920 --> 01:37:30,479
Speaker 2: It's stupid. I'm not gonna just want two. So you

1852
01:37:31,320 --> 01:37:33,920
Speaker 2: open the fourth wrapper, eat the first one, you say,

1853
01:37:33,960 --> 01:37:36,080
Speaker 2: here we are again. I can't leave one in there,

1854
01:37:36,479 --> 01:37:39,599
Speaker 2: They'll get stale. And the next thing you know, inside

1855
01:37:39,600 --> 01:37:42,360
Speaker 2: of about nine minutes, you've just eaten eight pop Tarts

1856
01:37:42,960 --> 01:37:47,320
Speaker 2: and then reality sets in and rigamorta sets in, and

1857
01:37:47,360 --> 01:37:49,280
Speaker 2: they taste really good and they went down good. But

1858
01:37:49,840 --> 01:37:52,639
Speaker 2: you know, damn well, you just didn't do yourself any favors.

1859
01:37:54,479 --> 01:37:56,519
Speaker 2: So I may have to get a box of pop

1860
01:37:56,560 --> 01:37:59,760
Speaker 2: Tarts here soon and figure out how I navigate this.

1861
01:38:00,400 --> 01:38:04,479
Speaker 2: But anyway you slice it, the most recognizable moment of

1862
01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:09,719
Speaker 2: Bowl season this year wasn't some big overtime winning. Wasn't

1863
01:38:09,760 --> 01:38:14,080
Speaker 2: some goofy touchdown celebration, or some fluke trick play like

1864
01:38:14,520 --> 01:38:17,000
Speaker 2: Boise State ran back in the day against Oklahoma, or

1865
01:38:17,840 --> 01:38:21,479
Speaker 2: some last second pail Mary Bomber miss field goal. It

1866
01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:28,240
Speaker 2: ultimately ended up being a ritual sacrifice of a famous

1867
01:38:28,560 --> 01:38:36,280
Speaker 2: breakfast pastry. That is, no one has the pop Tart man.

1868
01:38:36,320 --> 01:38:39,120
Speaker 2: Are pop Tarts making a comeback now? The pop Tarts

1869
01:38:39,760 --> 01:38:43,680
Speaker 2: Bowl was previously the Cheese It Bowl, remember that, But

1870
01:38:43,800 --> 01:38:48,120
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three, the parent company for both brands Kelenova.

1871
01:38:48,600 --> 01:38:51,160
Speaker 2: They said, we don't want to call it the Cheese

1872
01:38:51,240 --> 01:38:55,400
Speaker 2: Bowl anymore. We want to call it the pop Tart's Bowl.

1873
01:38:55,720 --> 01:38:57,680
Speaker 2: And they played it last year in Florida for the

1874
01:38:57,720 --> 01:39:01,080
Speaker 2: first time, and it went viral, not for the game itself,

1875
01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:05,040
Speaker 2: but for the stunts that Pop Tart marketeers known as

1876
01:39:05,040 --> 01:39:11,200
Speaker 2: those Florida Citrus Sports put together. Every joke, every meme,

1877
01:39:11,360 --> 01:39:14,320
Speaker 2: it's all about the Pop Tarts Bowl. It just took off.

1878
01:39:15,880 --> 01:39:18,960
Speaker 2: So after Kansas State beat North Carolina State twenty eight

1879
01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:24,720
Speaker 2: to nineteen, the pop Tart mascot stood up on top

1880
01:39:24,760 --> 01:39:28,000
Speaker 2: of a giant toaster on the field holding a sign

1881
01:39:28,120 --> 01:39:33,920
Speaker 2: saying dreams really do come true Now. The mascot, obviously

1882
01:39:34,080 --> 01:39:39,360
Speaker 2: an homage to the brand's traditional frosted strawberry flavor, then

1883
01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:44,040
Speaker 2: disappears into the toaster and then a giant pop Tart

1884
01:39:44,120 --> 01:39:48,880
Speaker 2: comes out on the other side. Then there's confetti, people

1885
01:39:48,920 --> 01:39:54,760
Speaker 2: are cheering, players and coaches. Boom, they dove in. This

1886
01:39:54,880 --> 01:40:00,280
Speaker 2: damn thing was edible. This is gonna co b out

1887
01:40:00,280 --> 01:40:02,600
Speaker 2: of my mouth. Weird and I don't like it. I

1888
01:40:02,600 --> 01:40:05,280
Speaker 2: don't love it. But it turns out they set a

1889
01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:08,719
Speaker 2: world record because they are proclaiming this is the first

1890
01:40:08,760 --> 01:40:14,280
Speaker 2: mascot ever to be considered edible. I just rang the

1891
01:40:14,280 --> 01:40:20,800
Speaker 2: bell boom and in terms of promotion, in terms of uniqueness,

1892
01:40:21,160 --> 01:40:24,479
Speaker 2: in terms of gimmickry, you cannot tell me this did

1893
01:40:24,520 --> 01:40:29,799
Speaker 2: not catch on. The Florida Citter Sports CEO Steve Ogan said,

1894
01:40:30,320 --> 01:40:34,560
Speaker 2: we hit it out of the park. They did, and

1895
01:40:34,160 --> 01:40:38,800
Speaker 2: we're not done. The clip was shared all over social media,

1896
01:40:39,600 --> 01:40:43,240
Speaker 2: all across news outlets. Fans who took pictures of it,

1897
01:40:43,400 --> 01:40:46,680
Speaker 2: of the mascot atop the toaster and then the eaton mascot.

1898
01:40:46,920 --> 01:40:52,040
Speaker 2: They started to find their way into viral memes. As

1899
01:40:52,080 --> 01:40:56,639
Speaker 2: a result, this game generated twelve million dollars in earned

1900
01:40:56,680 --> 01:41:00,960
Speaker 2: media value for pop Tarts between the TV, radio, social media,

1901
01:41:01,320 --> 01:41:06,880
Speaker 2: digital news exposure. At Apex Marketing, the group that tracks

1902
01:41:06,920 --> 01:41:10,200
Speaker 2: these things calculated that. Can you tell me the Bowl

1903
01:41:10,200 --> 01:41:16,280
Speaker 2: games aren't important? That's another group think echo chamber narrative quote.

1904
01:41:16,280 --> 01:41:18,680
Speaker 2: You are looking at a north of a twenty five

1905
01:41:18,720 --> 01:41:22,599
Speaker 2: percent bump in value compared to last year's game because

1906
01:41:22,640 --> 01:41:27,160
Speaker 2: of this creative activation. According to Eric Smallwood, the CEO

1907
01:41:27,240 --> 01:41:31,960
Speaker 2: of Apex Marketing, he said, the execution from pop Tarts

1908
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:37,639
Speaker 2: really elevated the conversation, Now what are there thirty nine

1909
01:41:37,680 --> 01:41:41,519
Speaker 2: Bowl games? Forty Bowl games, believe it or not, only

1910
01:41:41,640 --> 01:41:46,479
Speaker 2: nine of them top more than three million viewers. The

1911
01:41:46,520 --> 01:41:51,400
Speaker 2: pop Tarts pull four point four million of viewers. Now.

1912
01:41:51,400 --> 01:41:53,800
Speaker 2: Pop Tarts has a brand manager by the name of

1913
01:41:53,960 --> 01:41:57,720
Speaker 2: Alex he said. He told the Sports Business Journal at

1914
01:41:57,720 --> 01:42:00,200
Speaker 2: a conference that in the eight weeks following the game

1915
01:42:00,360 --> 01:42:06,559
Speaker 2: last year, this is incredible. The eight weeks following the

1916
01:42:06,680 --> 01:42:10,599
Speaker 2: pop Tarts Bowl last year, the pop Tarts brand sold

1917
01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:14,160
Speaker 2: twenty one million more pop tarts than it did in

1918
01:42:14,200 --> 01:42:17,679
Speaker 2: the eight weeks prior. So. Now they're in their second year.

1919
01:42:18,479 --> 01:42:21,640
Speaker 2: The game was played December twenty eighth. They're getting the

1920
01:42:21,720 --> 01:42:27,880
Speaker 2: national treatment on ABC for their stunts. They're getting the

1921
01:42:27,960 --> 01:42:31,400
Speaker 2: national treatment from me. If pop Tarts can pull out

1922
01:42:31,439 --> 01:42:34,719
Speaker 2: even a fraction of last year's success, it'll once again

1923
01:42:34,800 --> 01:42:39,320
Speaker 2: position itself to take another big time victory lap in

1924
01:42:39,360 --> 01:42:43,240
Speaker 2: the postseason. And I'll be watching it because I get

1925
01:42:43,320 --> 01:42:46,720
Speaker 2: kickout stories like this. Okay, I'll be curious to see

1926
01:42:46,760 --> 01:42:49,000
Speaker 2: and you know they'll beat their chest. Why not eight

1927
01:42:49,000 --> 01:42:51,880
Speaker 2: weeks from now? How many pop tarts? How many more

1928
01:42:51,880 --> 01:42:54,479
Speaker 2: pop tarts did they sell this year versus last year?

1929
01:42:54,560 --> 01:42:56,360
Speaker 2: This year versus the eight weeks prior to the bowl game.

1930
01:42:57,840 --> 01:43:01,439
Speaker 2: And here's what's interesting. Going to be looking for copycatch now.

1931
01:43:01,439 --> 01:43:04,160
Speaker 2: I don't know what they'll be, what it will entail,

1932
01:43:04,240 --> 01:43:07,679
Speaker 2: or how it will manifest itself, but the pop Tarts

1933
01:43:07,720 --> 01:43:11,040
Speaker 2: Bull might now even become a template for how bowl

1934
01:43:11,080 --> 01:43:14,120
Speaker 2: games can start to remain a little bit more relevant.

1935
01:43:14,880 --> 01:43:19,400
Speaker 2: Despite you know, the complete college football playoff landscape. We've

1936
01:43:19,439 --> 01:43:22,000
Speaker 2: got the transfer portal to deal with, We've got player

1937
01:43:22,080 --> 01:43:25,120
Speaker 2: opt outs. Marshall Loft, twenty nine players couldn't even play

1938
01:43:25,120 --> 01:43:28,160
Speaker 2: in the bowl game. Twenty six hundred players have already

1939
01:43:28,160 --> 01:43:32,599
Speaker 2: opted out in the transfer portal. And the expanded college

1940
01:43:32,600 --> 01:43:37,040
Speaker 2: football playoff is threatening the popularity of the bowl season,

1941
01:43:37,080 --> 01:43:39,800
Speaker 2: which due to tradition and do it look, I covered

1942
01:43:39,800 --> 01:43:42,120
Speaker 2: Michigan football for years, trusts me, teams want to go

1943
01:43:42,120 --> 01:43:44,280
Speaker 2: to bowl games here in Las Vegas. They were thrilled

1944
01:43:44,280 --> 01:43:48,439
Speaker 2: to go to the California Bowl, all right, but it's

1945
01:43:48,479 --> 01:43:52,040
Speaker 2: become passe, it's become oversaturated. Doesn't mean we don't enjoy them.

1946
01:43:52,439 --> 01:43:58,160
Speaker 2: They're there. It's you know, every time they've expanded the

1947
01:43:58,160 --> 01:44:00,800
Speaker 2: bull season, people don't. The only people don't. The only

1948
01:44:00,800 --> 01:44:03,439
Speaker 2: people who complain. Other people complain about everything all right,

1949
01:44:04,880 --> 01:44:08,160
Speaker 2: So make no mistake, the organizers of the Pop Tart Bowl,

1950
01:44:08,200 --> 01:44:11,839
Speaker 2: they're already looking for ways to build on last year's success,

1951
01:44:11,840 --> 01:44:15,120
Speaker 2: which they already did this year, and you know, it

1952
01:44:15,400 --> 01:44:17,080
Speaker 2: helped that it was a damn good game Iowa State

1953
01:44:17,080 --> 01:44:23,280
Speaker 2: in Miami. It really was a good game. And I

1954
01:44:23,320 --> 01:44:26,920
Speaker 2: think that you know, throughout the past several months, they

1955
01:44:27,560 --> 01:44:31,360
Speaker 2: they were kind of hinting what they were going to do,

1956
01:44:32,640 --> 01:44:36,320
Speaker 2: and even you know, managed to again the memes the

1957
01:44:36,400 --> 01:44:39,000
Speaker 2: Texas Pop Tarts Bowl, pop Tarts Buil pop Tarts Bowl.

1958
01:44:39,439 --> 01:44:45,120
Speaker 2: It actually pierced the complete, you know, relentless reportage on

1959
01:44:45,160 --> 01:44:48,599
Speaker 2: the CFP bracket conversations. And you know, you've gone from

1960
01:44:48,600 --> 01:44:51,599
Speaker 2: the BCS, which kind of sucked, to the four team

1961
01:44:51,800 --> 01:44:56,360
Speaker 2: Mavor TV Invitational Tournament, which in some way sucked more So,

1962
01:44:56,400 --> 01:44:59,120
Speaker 2: you've gone from one playoff game for a championship to

1963
01:44:59,320 --> 01:45:02,160
Speaker 2: four three playoff games and I got eleven. So they've

1964
01:45:02,160 --> 01:45:04,200
Speaker 2: taken up a lot of air in the room. But somehow,

1965
01:45:05,439 --> 01:45:09,639
Speaker 2: starting in September, the pop Tarts game itself, they kept

1966
01:45:09,680 --> 01:45:15,120
Speaker 2: itself from the conversation through selling pop Tarts mascot Halloween costumes.

1967
01:45:15,160 --> 01:45:18,599
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? No, I'm not. Two months later,

1968
01:45:18,640 --> 01:45:23,960
Speaker 2: the organizers announced the game would not have one, but

1969
01:45:24,000 --> 01:45:27,920
Speaker 2: they would have three mascots. Not one mascot, three mascots,

1970
01:45:29,120 --> 01:45:34,040
Speaker 2: all representing the different flavors Hot for Sunday, Frosted wild Berry,

1971
01:45:34,800 --> 01:45:38,800
Speaker 2: and the previously discontinued mystery flavor, since revealed to be

1972
01:45:38,880 --> 01:45:42,519
Speaker 2: the frothted cinnamon Roll. By the way, I have to

1973
01:45:42,520 --> 01:45:44,439
Speaker 2: follow up on this. I didn't do my homework on

1974
01:45:44,479 --> 01:45:50,479
Speaker 2: this part. But the MVP of the game they got

1975
01:45:50,520 --> 01:45:53,240
Speaker 2: to choose which mascot they got to eat. So give

1976
01:45:53,280 --> 01:45:56,639
Speaker 2: it up to the pop Tarts Bowl? Why of all

1977
01:45:56,720 --> 01:45:59,040
Speaker 2: the Bowl games irrespective of the playoffs. Of course, people

1978
01:45:59,040 --> 01:46:03,559
Speaker 2: are already complaining about the playoffs right neatly ignoring the

1979
01:46:03,640 --> 01:46:08,160
Speaker 2: fact that in the last twenty semi final games, fourteen

1980
01:46:08,200 --> 01:46:10,599
Speaker 2: of those games have been decided by fourteen or more points,

1981
01:46:12,080 --> 01:46:13,920
Speaker 2: and eight of those games have been decided by twenty

1982
01:46:13,960 --> 01:46:17,240
Speaker 2: or more points. Oh no, but complain away because it's

1983
01:46:17,280 --> 01:46:19,880
Speaker 2: a new year. So the pop Tarts Bowl previously the

1984
01:46:19,960 --> 01:46:25,400
Speaker 2: Cheesey Bowl. Yeah, you could say that the most recognizable

1985
01:46:26,320 --> 01:46:29,439
Speaker 2: moment of Bowl season this year so far. The most

1986
01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:33,680
Speaker 2: recognizable moment wasn't some big come from behind win, or

1987
01:46:33,680 --> 01:46:38,639
Speaker 2: a touchdown celebration, or a fluky play or a play

1988
01:46:38,680 --> 01:46:46,240
Speaker 2: whereby you have hail Mary pass or something like that. Right, No, no,

1989
01:46:46,840 --> 01:46:52,559
Speaker 2: it was the freaking pop Tarts Bowl. By the way,

1990
01:46:53,680 --> 01:46:57,040
Speaker 2: you haven't heard Caitlin Clark's name in the news. Oh,

1991
01:46:57,320 --> 01:46:59,439
Speaker 2: hell of a lot lay lately. It's been a minute,

1992
01:47:00,640 --> 01:47:04,519
Speaker 2: but you're about to hear it again. You just heard

1993
01:47:04,520 --> 01:47:08,280
Speaker 2: about the pop Tart effect. Well, how about the Caitlyn

1994
01:47:08,439 --> 01:47:14,200
Speaker 2: Clark effect. I'll explain. Coming up, I'm Bernie Friday, coming

1998
01:47:23,040 --> 01:47:25,759
Speaker 2: back at the Bernie Fradder Show, Fox Sports Radio Company,

1999
01:47:25,840 --> 01:47:29,240
Speaker 2: live from the Tarreac dot Com studios here in Las Vegas,

2000
01:47:31,240 --> 01:47:35,160
Speaker 2: seventeen minutes away from the top of the hour, the

2001
01:47:35,240 --> 01:47:38,960
Speaker 2: dance sensation sweeping the nation? What kind of brand new

2002
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:44,120
Speaker 2: fool of you? Followed by what my name? Fresh additions? Yes,

2003
01:47:44,560 --> 01:47:48,360
Speaker 2: you want to be there for that? Oh your first

2004
01:47:48,400 --> 01:47:55,559
Speaker 2: line for front lobotomy? All right? Caitlin Clark April tenth,

2005
01:47:55,640 --> 01:48:00,960
Speaker 2: last year, three days after the Iowa Hawkeyes women's basketball

2006
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:06,400
Speaker 2: team lost the national championship to Don Staley in South Carolina,

2007
01:48:06,560 --> 01:48:10,400
Speaker 2: the Hawks, the hawk eyes, excuse me, announced they would

2008
01:48:10,400 --> 01:48:15,000
Speaker 2: be retiring Clark's jersey, number twenty two. Now you knew

2009
01:48:15,040 --> 01:48:18,840
Speaker 2: that was coming. The announcement didn't surprise anybody, given the

2010
01:48:18,840 --> 01:48:22,120
Speaker 2: fact that Clark is well you're gonna make you know,

2011
01:48:22,160 --> 01:48:24,360
Speaker 2: people are going to argue about this, but in terms

2012
01:48:24,400 --> 01:48:26,960
Speaker 2: of her impact on the sport, she's maybe the most

2013
01:48:27,040 --> 01:48:30,439
Speaker 2: popular college basketball of all time, maybe the greatest college

2014
01:48:30,439 --> 01:48:33,080
Speaker 2: basketball of all time. You look, all I know is

2015
01:48:33,760 --> 01:48:36,880
Speaker 2: whatever she is, she's here to stay and she's earned

2016
01:48:36,880 --> 01:48:41,920
Speaker 2: her keep. And what the what the school did do

2017
01:48:42,080 --> 01:48:44,760
Speaker 2: was kind of keep quiet for a while as to

2018
01:48:44,840 --> 01:48:49,880
Speaker 2: when they were actually going to do, you know, retire

2019
01:48:49,920 --> 01:48:53,080
Speaker 2: the jersey. So finally months went by. In just this

2020
01:48:53,360 --> 01:48:57,840
Speaker 2: last Wednesday, it was announced that Caitlin Clark's jersey will

2021
01:48:57,840 --> 01:49:02,800
Speaker 2: officially be retired on February second, when the Hawkeyes face

2022
01:49:03,280 --> 01:49:08,880
Speaker 2: good timing Juju Watkins and the USC Trojans at home. Now,

2023
01:49:09,920 --> 01:49:13,719
Speaker 2: even without Clark, the Kaitlin Clark effect has remained in Iowa.

2024
01:49:13,760 --> 01:49:16,519
Speaker 2: They've been a pretty big draw this time. But all

2025
01:49:16,560 --> 01:49:20,280
Speaker 2: of a sudden, now when you announce the Kaitlin Clark's

2026
01:49:20,360 --> 01:49:24,760
Speaker 2: jersey is going to be retired on February second. That

2027
01:49:24,800 --> 01:49:28,200
Speaker 2: ticket just became the hottest ticket, and I think we're

2028
01:49:28,240 --> 01:49:33,400
Speaker 2: all the basketball world right now, right in no time,

2029
01:49:34,080 --> 01:49:37,720
Speaker 2: in no time, the cheapest ticket to the game wait

2030
01:49:37,760 --> 01:49:42,599
Speaker 2: for it, wait for it, rocketed to seven hundred eleven

2031
01:49:42,640 --> 01:49:45,559
Speaker 2: dollars to get into a game just to see Caitlyn

2032
01:49:45,600 --> 01:49:53,719
Speaker 2: Clark's jersey retired. That is currently the most expensive women's

2033
01:49:53,760 --> 01:49:57,519
Speaker 2: basketball ticket on record. All right, by the way, the

2034
01:49:57,680 --> 01:50:00,839
Speaker 2: cheapest ticket sold to the game before for the news

2035
01:50:01,479 --> 01:50:03,160
Speaker 2: was two hundred and eighty three dollars. And so this

2036
01:50:03,280 --> 01:50:09,479
Speaker 2: is the most expensive women's college basketball ticket. And to

2037
01:50:09,560 --> 01:50:14,640
Speaker 2: give that some perspective and give it to comparison, the

2038
01:50:14,760 --> 01:50:19,479
Speaker 2: last expensive ticket was Clark's last home game at Iowa,

2039
01:50:20,120 --> 01:50:24,200
Speaker 2: where it was about four hundred and fifty dollars for

2040
01:50:24,280 --> 01:50:27,080
Speaker 2: a physical ticket, and if you wanted to get in

2041
01:50:27,080 --> 01:50:29,080
Speaker 2: the building, it was still like two eighty three three

2042
01:50:29,080 --> 01:50:33,400
Speaker 2: point fifty just for standing room only. Now here's what's interesting.

2043
01:50:34,520 --> 01:50:38,280
Speaker 2: They just announced this. The cheapest ticket might be seven

2044
01:50:38,360 --> 01:50:42,880
Speaker 2: hundred eleven dollars, but many fans are starting to realize

2045
01:50:42,920 --> 01:50:47,400
Speaker 2: the fact that the vast majority of those tickets which

2046
01:50:47,439 --> 01:50:51,960
Speaker 2: are being advertised now are being advertised for a ticket

2047
01:50:51,960 --> 01:50:58,320
Speaker 2: price per ticket of north of eleven thousand dollars excuse me,

2048
01:50:58,520 --> 01:51:03,639
Speaker 2: one thousand dollars. Yeah, and they're gonna get it. What's

2049
01:51:03,640 --> 01:51:05,759
Speaker 2: for sure is if you want to go see Caitlin

2050
01:51:05,800 --> 01:51:10,920
Speaker 2: Clark Jersey retired February second, and a good opponent to

2051
01:51:11,080 --> 01:51:15,760
Speaker 2: usc Juju walk into a great player in your own right,

2052
01:51:17,360 --> 01:51:21,479
Speaker 2: you're gonna pay a thousand bucks. Incredible, But what the hell? Well,

2053
01:51:21,520 --> 01:51:26,519
Speaker 2: money just keeps flying around in ways that you could

2054
01:51:26,520 --> 01:51:32,000
Speaker 2: never even imagine. We all know now that the dust

2055
01:51:32,080 --> 01:51:38,559
Speaker 2: is settled about Wan Soto's contract, But are you really

2056
01:51:38,880 --> 01:51:44,679
Speaker 2: aware of just exactly some of the details of Juan

2057
01:51:44,920 --> 01:51:49,840
Speaker 2: Soto's contract. I mean, some of this stuff's gonna make

2058
01:51:49,880 --> 01:51:52,880
Speaker 2: you scratch your head a little bit. Some of this

2059
01:51:52,920 --> 01:51:56,240
Speaker 2: stuff might actually really start to piss you off. And

2060
01:51:56,520 --> 01:52:01,400
Speaker 2: I'll tell you why, because you know, you know what,

2061
01:52:01,479 --> 01:52:05,519
Speaker 2: he's making a right seven hundred million dollars over the

2062
01:52:05,640 --> 01:52:07,280
Speaker 2: you know, over the life of the contract, and I

2063
01:52:07,320 --> 01:52:11,040
Speaker 2: know Yankee fans are upset and and you know it's

2064
01:52:11,120 --> 01:52:13,880
Speaker 2: just tilted what you know, fifteen sixty year deal whatever

2065
01:52:13,880 --> 01:52:17,000
Speaker 2: it is. It's just completely tilted the sensibilities. And I

2066
01:52:17,000 --> 01:52:19,320
Speaker 2: don't give it. Damn, I don't count anybody else's money.

2067
01:52:19,680 --> 01:52:21,439
Speaker 2: He earned it, they want to pay it, and they

2068
01:52:21,439 --> 01:52:24,479
Speaker 2: have high hopes. And he's in a major media market there,

2069
01:52:24,520 --> 01:52:27,719
Speaker 2: and you know, for all I know, they're gonna, they're gonna,

2070
01:52:27,800 --> 01:52:30,360
Speaker 2: you know, they're gonna kill it with Wan Soto. Right,

2071
01:52:30,800 --> 01:52:33,000
Speaker 2: I don't know they're paying the money. You better, they

2072
01:52:33,040 --> 01:52:35,879
Speaker 2: better hope the hell they get some return on their investment.

2073
01:52:37,439 --> 01:52:41,120
Speaker 2: But here's really the case. He got a seventy five

2074
01:52:41,160 --> 01:52:44,080
Speaker 2: million dollars signing bonus, So as a result of that,

2075
01:52:44,760 --> 01:52:48,080
Speaker 2: he's gonna receive salaries of about forty seven million a

2076
01:52:48,160 --> 01:52:51,760
Speaker 2: year the next two years, forty three million a year

2077
01:52:51,760 --> 01:52:55,080
Speaker 2: and twenty twenty seven, back to forty seven million year

2078
01:52:55,080 --> 01:52:56,920
Speaker 2: and twenty eight twenty nine, and then forty six million

2079
01:52:56,960 --> 01:52:59,760
Speaker 2: a year in each of the final ten seasons. So

2080
01:53:00,040 --> 01:53:02,519
Speaker 2: don't you want to have a little fun with numbers

2081
01:53:02,520 --> 01:53:07,400
Speaker 2: for context, it's going to average out to about fifty

2082
01:53:07,400 --> 01:53:10,400
Speaker 2: one million a year. I don't know how much you

2083
01:53:10,439 --> 01:53:14,000
Speaker 2: make a week and your job, but Wan Soto will

2084
01:53:14,040 --> 01:53:17,880
Speaker 2: be making about nine hundred and eighty thousand dollars a week,

2085
01:53:19,400 --> 01:53:23,840
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty thousand dollars a day, six thousand

2086
01:53:24,520 --> 01:53:30,120
Speaker 2: dollars an hour, one hundred dollars a minute. Okay, you

2087
01:53:30,200 --> 01:53:32,679
Speaker 2: heard it. I don't need to repeat it. It's it's crazy,

2088
01:53:32,680 --> 01:53:37,600
Speaker 2: it's silly. It's beyond what you could imagine. Except it

2089
01:53:38,120 --> 01:53:43,519
Speaker 2: doesn't end there, not even close. Now, if you're making

2090
01:53:43,520 --> 01:53:47,559
Speaker 2: that money, I mean, what else do you really need?

2091
01:53:48,000 --> 01:53:49,920
Speaker 2: And I just said I wouldn't count someone else's money.

2092
01:53:49,960 --> 01:53:54,880
Speaker 2: Maybe that's exactly That's exactly what I'm doing. And here's why.

2093
01:53:55,600 --> 01:53:58,720
Speaker 2: In addition to all the money I just shared with you,

2094
01:54:00,000 --> 01:54:02,120
Speaker 2: we will also get the free use of a luxury

2095
01:54:02,160 --> 01:54:06,120
Speaker 2: suite end up to four premium tickets behind home played

2096
01:54:06,120 --> 01:54:13,120
Speaker 2: for railar season and postseason. If the Mets banked baseball games, huh,

2097
01:54:15,360 --> 01:54:17,479
Speaker 2: would you have the stones to even ask for a

2098
01:54:17,560 --> 01:54:20,439
Speaker 2: luxury suite and up to four premium tickets for every

2099
01:54:20,479 --> 01:54:23,960
Speaker 2: game if you've already made enough money to sink the

2100
01:54:23,960 --> 01:54:28,559
Speaker 2: fifth fleet? Seriously, what are we doing here? This is

2101
01:54:28,560 --> 01:54:30,240
Speaker 2: the part where it starts to get a little stupid.

2102
01:54:31,200 --> 01:54:33,320
Speaker 2: By the way, a suite alone isn't enough. Again, he

2103
01:54:33,320 --> 01:54:36,640
Speaker 2: gets four of the highest priced tickets in the house,

2104
01:54:37,240 --> 01:54:40,440
Speaker 2: So the Yankees, who's last offer the soda was seven

2105
01:54:40,520 --> 01:54:45,200
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty million over sixteen years, wouldn't budge on

2106
01:54:45,360 --> 01:54:48,040
Speaker 2: giving Sodo a suite because they said it was set

2107
01:54:48,280 --> 01:54:53,080
Speaker 2: a historical precedent since Aaron Judge and Derek Jeter they

2108
01:54:53,120 --> 01:54:58,080
Speaker 2: had to pay for their own suite at Yankee Stadium.

2109
01:54:58,440 --> 01:55:01,080
Speaker 2: But no, not want Soto. He's going to get a

2110
01:55:01,120 --> 01:55:05,240
Speaker 2: free suite, and he is going to get four tickets

2111
01:55:05,240 --> 01:55:10,280
Speaker 2: to these premium type tickets to every game by buy

2112
01:55:10,280 --> 01:55:15,040
Speaker 2: a home plate. But we're not done. We're not done.

2113
01:55:15,680 --> 01:55:19,280
Speaker 2: Also in the deal was what's something something that is

2114
01:55:19,440 --> 01:55:25,360
Speaker 2: called the number twenty two? Claus? What is that? Well,

2115
01:55:25,880 --> 01:55:28,200
Speaker 2: the Yankees have a third basement you may or may

2116
01:55:28,200 --> 01:55:30,440
Speaker 2: not have heard of or yet checked out the Mets.

2117
01:55:30,840 --> 01:55:33,800
Speaker 2: His name is Brett Batty. Brett Batty. Brett Batty has

2118
01:55:33,840 --> 01:55:35,960
Speaker 2: actually worn the number twenty two with the Mets the

2119
01:55:36,000 --> 01:55:44,080
Speaker 2: past three seasons. But Soto, being the magnanimous fella that

2120
01:55:44,160 --> 01:55:48,160
Speaker 2: he is, tongue in cheek sarcasm, does not want to

2121
01:55:48,200 --> 01:55:52,920
Speaker 2: do what Shoheo Tani did. Remember, Shohio Tani wanted the

2122
01:55:53,000 --> 01:55:57,440
Speaker 2: number seventeen, but that number was worn by Dodger relief pitcher,

2123
01:55:57,520 --> 01:56:02,320
Speaker 2: Joe Kelly said, or check that show. He said, what

2124
01:56:02,440 --> 01:56:06,320
Speaker 2: the hell, I'll buy you a Porsche. Mister Kelly, could

2125
01:56:06,360 --> 01:56:08,600
Speaker 2: you give up his number seventeen? And he did it.

2126
01:56:10,880 --> 01:56:16,520
Speaker 2: Soto in his contract automatically gets the number twenty two

2127
01:56:16,680 --> 01:56:23,440
Speaker 2: without even half you ask Brett Batty for it, but

2128
01:56:23,520 --> 01:56:26,400
Speaker 2: he does have to buy the remaining allotment of the

2129
01:56:26,680 --> 01:56:30,080
Speaker 2: Baty number twenty two merchandise per rule only because of

2130
01:56:30,120 --> 01:56:33,080
Speaker 2: a rule in the Major League Baseball Collective Bargaining Agreement.

2131
01:56:33,600 --> 01:56:35,839
Speaker 2: You know, many years ago, my good buddy Tim Flannery,

2132
01:56:35,840 --> 01:56:37,440
Speaker 2: who was a five and ten man with the Potteries,

2133
01:56:37,480 --> 01:56:43,080
Speaker 2: love flan Steve Garvey got traded to Padres and Flann

2134
01:56:43,080 --> 01:56:45,200
Speaker 2: wore number six, and Garvy says, are going to have

2135
01:56:45,280 --> 01:56:47,640
Speaker 2: number six? And flant says sure, he goes, garbages, let

2136
01:56:47,640 --> 01:56:49,200
Speaker 2: me buy you a nice new suit. Now this is

2137
01:56:50,080 --> 01:56:52,240
Speaker 2: different times, right, this is like in the eighties, the

2138
01:56:52,280 --> 01:56:55,360
Speaker 2: early eighties, and Flann agreed to take number eleven. And

2139
01:56:55,360 --> 01:56:57,120
Speaker 2: when they were up in San Francisco, Garvey took him

2140
01:56:57,120 --> 01:56:59,320
Speaker 2: to the nicest Italian min story he could find and

2141
01:56:59,360 --> 01:57:01,520
Speaker 2: bought Flannery like two thousand dollars suit and again, this

2142
01:57:01,560 --> 01:57:04,760
Speaker 2: is forty years ago, so it's the gesture, but Sodo's

2143
01:57:04,800 --> 01:57:08,080
Speaker 2: not doing a damn thing. Because of a rule in

2144
01:57:08,120 --> 01:57:10,720
Speaker 2: the Major League Baseball Collective bartiying Agreement, Sodo has to

2145
01:57:10,760 --> 01:57:13,120
Speaker 2: buy up the remaining twenty two jerseys, but he gets

2146
01:57:13,160 --> 01:57:16,520
Speaker 2: the jersey bet Brett Baty, thanks for playing, you get

2147
01:57:16,520 --> 01:57:19,760
Speaker 2: nothing and like it. Judge Smails, give give Sodo your

2148
01:57:19,840 --> 01:57:25,000
Speaker 2: jersey balls. I'm not done yet. Soto also gets security

2149
01:57:25,040 --> 01:57:27,920
Speaker 2: for him and his family for all road and home games.

2150
01:57:28,800 --> 01:57:30,680
Speaker 2: He gets a five hundred thousand dollars bonus for his

2151
01:57:30,680 --> 01:57:35,120
Speaker 2: first MVP. He gets one million dollars for every MVP

2152
01:57:35,400 --> 01:57:39,040
Speaker 2: after the first. If he just finishes in the top

2153
01:57:39,080 --> 01:57:41,400
Speaker 2: three in the MVP race, he gets an extra two

2154
01:57:41,440 --> 01:57:44,680
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand, and if he just finishes in

2155
01:57:44,720 --> 01:57:46,600
Speaker 2: the top five, he gets another one hundred and fifty thousand.

2156
01:57:47,280 --> 01:57:49,080
Speaker 2: On top of his seven hundred and sixty five million

2157
01:57:49,080 --> 01:57:52,920
Speaker 2: dollar contract, fifty one million a year, nine hundred and

2158
01:57:52,960 --> 01:57:55,800
Speaker 2: eighty thousand a week, one hundred and forty thousand a day,

2159
01:57:56,560 --> 01:58:00,760
Speaker 2: six thousand dollars an hour, one hundred dollars a minute,

2160
01:58:02,240 --> 01:58:05,960
Speaker 2: and how in the hell was your day? Well? Soto

2161
01:58:06,120 --> 01:58:09,760
Speaker 2: Live up to that contract. I guess we're gonna find out,

2162
01:58:10,200 --> 01:58:12,879
Speaker 2: aren't we. But you won't be sitting in the suite

2163
01:58:13,280 --> 01:58:16,240
Speaker 2: or the four seats behind home plate. Yep, that's not

2164
01:58:16,360 --> 01:58:19,520
Speaker 2: for us, that's for him. Up next, what kind of

2165

2174
01:58:49,960 --> 01:58:52,160
Speaker 2: in the week. You know it, you love it, you

2175
01:58:52,200 --> 01:58:56,560
Speaker 2: can't live without it. You see all around this great

2176
01:58:56,640 --> 01:58:59,800
Speaker 2: land of ours, see to Oily Sea and following the

2177
01:59:00,240 --> 01:59:02,360
Speaker 2: of Yogi Berra, you can observe a lot by watching.

2178
01:59:02,400 --> 01:59:05,040
Speaker 2: That's exactly what we do. Because people engage in behaviors,

2179
01:59:05,480 --> 01:59:10,320
Speaker 2: they do things. Sometimes they're stupid, they're silly, unhinged, maybe innocuous.

2180
01:59:10,400 --> 01:59:12,280
Speaker 2: Other times they're more serious. It gets you in trouble,

2181
01:59:12,840 --> 01:59:15,960
Speaker 2: and oftentimes these behaviors will even land you in jail.

2182
01:59:16,520 --> 01:59:19,200
Speaker 2: But anyway you slice it, anyway you characterize it, any

2183
01:59:19,200 --> 01:59:23,640
Speaker 2: way you describe it, all of these incidents events behaviors

2184
01:59:24,080 --> 01:59:28,760
Speaker 2: always leave us scratching our heads and asking us what

2185
01:59:28,840 --> 01:59:31,880
Speaker 2: kind of brand new fool you. Well, Shay, you're gonna

2186
01:59:31,920 --> 01:59:35,240
Speaker 2: like this one, because we go back to Florida, yep.

2187
01:59:35,440 --> 01:59:40,320
Speaker 2: And it's a situation where, you know, a young lady

2188
01:59:40,320 --> 01:59:43,400
Speaker 2: and her boyfriend and their five year old daughter. They

2189
01:59:43,400 --> 01:59:47,400
Speaker 2: were staying in a hotel or motel celebrating a little

2190
01:59:47,400 --> 01:59:49,880
Speaker 2: birthday and that a little craving for a pizza. So

2191
01:59:49,880 --> 01:59:53,000
Speaker 2: they decided they would call this particular pizza chain and

2192
01:59:53,240 --> 01:59:57,960
Speaker 2: order a delivery. And shortly thereafter, I'm not even gonna

2193
01:59:57,960 --> 02:00:01,840
Speaker 2: give this person's name because this is so bad, we'll

2194
02:00:01,920 --> 02:00:05,360
Speaker 2: just call her Miss B. Miss Bee delivers the pizza,

2195
02:00:05,400 --> 02:00:11,160
Speaker 2: which apparently cost about thirty dollars thirty three dollars, and

2196
02:00:12,160 --> 02:00:15,760
Speaker 2: in the course of the transaction, Miss B was asked

2197
02:00:15,840 --> 02:00:18,120
Speaker 2: to give change for a fifty dollars bill. According to

2198
02:00:18,160 --> 02:00:22,400
Speaker 2: the police Affidavid, but Miss B did not have change,

2199
02:00:22,440 --> 02:00:26,960
Speaker 2: and so the couple scraped together some smaller bills and

2200
02:00:27,640 --> 02:00:29,600
Speaker 2: as a result, they could only afford to give her

2201
02:00:29,640 --> 02:00:33,240
Speaker 2: a two dollars tip. And that's where the fun begins,

2202
02:00:33,600 --> 02:00:37,400
Speaker 2: because they were enjoying their pizza. A little bit later.

2203
02:00:37,840 --> 02:00:41,480
Speaker 2: According to the report, the police affid David, the lady

2204
02:00:41,520 --> 02:00:45,040
Speaker 2: pizza recipient heard a loud knocking on the door. This

2205
02:00:45,240 --> 02:00:49,520
Speaker 2: time a man and that same woman, Miss be, all

2206
02:00:49,640 --> 02:00:55,320
Speaker 2: clat in black masks, forced themselves into the room after

2207
02:00:55,440 --> 02:00:58,360
Speaker 2: the patron opened the door. Well, the man all of

2208
02:00:58,400 --> 02:01:02,400
Speaker 2: a sudden, he's brandishing his silver revolver and he demanded

2209
02:01:02,680 --> 02:01:06,200
Speaker 2: that the woman's boyfriend go in the bathroom. And then

2210
02:01:06,520 --> 02:01:11,360
Speaker 2: the pizza delivery person, ostensibly allegedly believed to be Miss Bee,

2211
02:01:12,080 --> 02:01:16,800
Speaker 2: proceeds to pull out a pocket knife. According to the affidavit,

2212
02:01:17,360 --> 02:01:21,000
Speaker 2: miss B started rummaging through the women's purse, broke her

2213
02:01:21,120 --> 02:01:24,880
Speaker 2: daughter's Nintendo switch, and then the woman said she turned

2214
02:01:24,920 --> 02:01:27,240
Speaker 2: to shield her child and the next thing you know,

2215
02:01:27,720 --> 02:01:30,880
Speaker 2: she felt a strike to her lower back. It wasn't

2216
02:01:31,080 --> 02:01:35,120
Speaker 2: just a strike, it was a knife. She threw her

2217
02:01:35,200 --> 02:01:37,280
Speaker 2: daughter on the bed, attempted to pick up her phone

2218
02:01:37,560 --> 02:01:40,400
Speaker 2: to call the police. Miss B grabbed the phone smashed

2219
02:01:40,440 --> 02:01:43,400
Speaker 2: it began striking her multiple times with the knife, according

2220
02:01:43,400 --> 02:01:46,280
Speaker 2: to the affidavit. Finally the man said, okay, I think

2221
02:01:46,320 --> 02:01:49,520
Speaker 2: she's had enough. It's time to go. Will stop the assault,

2222
02:01:49,960 --> 02:01:55,040
Speaker 2: But not before the pizza delivery recipient was stabbed fourteen

2223
02:01:55,360 --> 02:02:01,520
Speaker 2: times with wounds to her chest, arms, legs, and abdomen. Well,

2224
02:02:01,560 --> 02:02:04,160
Speaker 2: they caught up with Miss B later. She's being held

2225
02:02:04,200 --> 02:02:07,880
Speaker 2: at the Osiola County Jail and fifty five thousand dollars bail,

2226
02:02:09,240 --> 02:02:15,120
Speaker 2: and prosecutors were so upset that they've asked that the

2227
02:02:16,720 --> 02:02:20,600
Speaker 2: judge holder without bond, saying it was punishable by life offense. Now,

2228
02:02:21,680 --> 02:02:25,400
Speaker 2: the investigators reviewed Motil security cameras and showed this woman

2229
02:02:25,400 --> 02:02:29,080
Speaker 2: in a red Toyota and approaching the couple's Motil rooms.

2230
02:02:29,120 --> 02:02:32,360
Speaker 2: So they think they've got the right person. And this

2231
02:02:32,480 --> 02:02:37,480
Speaker 2: story has one more twist. Yes, this poor lady upon

2232
02:02:37,600 --> 02:02:41,240
Speaker 2: finding out she's been stabbed fourteen times and she's at

2233
02:02:41,240 --> 02:02:47,120
Speaker 2: the hospital receiving treatment. Well she found out she's pregnant,

2234
02:02:47,560 --> 02:02:51,840
Speaker 2: So she was stabbing a pregnant lady. Well, Miss B

2235
02:02:52,200 --> 02:02:55,080
Speaker 2: is about their face a whole lot of fun. She's

2236
02:02:55,160 --> 02:02:58,920
Speaker 2: charged with attempted murder home invasion with a firearm, kidnapping,

2237
02:02:58,920 --> 02:03:02,480
Speaker 2: and aggravated assault, and there's more. We don't have time

2238
02:03:02,520 --> 02:03:03,640
Speaker 2: to get to it because we got to get to

2239
02:03:03,720 --> 02:03:06,560
Speaker 2: the rest of the story. But anyway you slice it,

2240
02:03:06,840 --> 02:03:10,880
Speaker 2: Miss b A Kasumi, Florida, what kind of brand new

2241
02:03:10,960 --> 02:03:16,080
Speaker 2: fool are you? Shay? Can you top that one?

2242
02:03:17,000 --> 02:03:19,360
Speaker 6: That was definitely it had a lot of moving I

2243
02:03:19,400 --> 02:03:21,800
Speaker 6: don't know if mine has not many moving parts, so

2244
02:03:21,880 --> 02:03:22,280
Speaker 6: I don't know.

2245
02:03:22,480 --> 02:03:25,240
Speaker 2: I debated whether it even uses because we kind of

2246
02:03:25,360 --> 02:03:26,760
Speaker 2: we like to keep this lighthearted.

2247
02:03:27,200 --> 02:03:30,000
Speaker 6: This was definitely Yeah, I don't think it was on

2248
02:03:30,000 --> 02:03:32,320
Speaker 6: the lighthearted side, but I think it was definitely a

2249
02:03:32,360 --> 02:03:33,960
Speaker 6: woozy episode.

2250
02:03:33,440 --> 02:03:34,440
Speaker 7: Of forty eight hours.

2251
02:03:35,320 --> 02:03:38,080
Speaker 6: Say again, mark an episode of forty eight hours.

2252
02:03:38,880 --> 02:03:41,680
Speaker 2: Actually, you're not wrong, You're not wrong, but.

2253
02:03:41,680 --> 02:03:45,360
Speaker 6: It definitely I think it deserves to be a part

2254
02:03:45,400 --> 02:03:46,000
Speaker 6: of this segment.

2255
02:03:46,040 --> 02:03:50,400
Speaker 2: Why not, Well, it's pretty sensational. So all right, Bud,

2256
02:03:50,440 --> 02:03:51,120
Speaker 2: you got the floor.

2257
02:03:51,360 --> 02:03:53,720
Speaker 7: So guess what we're staying in Florida?

2258
02:03:54,080 --> 02:03:58,360
Speaker 6: Oh, beautifuls It's always great to be in Florida.

2259
02:03:58,400 --> 02:03:59,640
Speaker 7: I know, I'll finish it for you.

2260
02:04:00,240 --> 02:04:03,560
Speaker 6: But a Lake County, Florida, Florida man was arrested after

2261
02:04:03,600 --> 02:04:07,680
Speaker 6: he shot down a Walmart delivery drone in his neighborhood.

2262
02:04:07,680 --> 02:04:11,120
Speaker 6: According to officials, I know everyone's scared of these drones

2263
02:04:11,160 --> 02:04:14,040
Speaker 6: going around in New Jersey and all that this isn't Florida,

2264
02:04:14,080 --> 02:04:19,440
Speaker 6: but hey, the paranoia could definitely reach all around the US.

2265
02:04:19,520 --> 02:04:19,600
Speaker 2: So.

2266
02:04:19,720 --> 02:04:22,480
Speaker 6: Lake Canty Sheriff's Office said they received a call about

2267
02:04:22,480 --> 02:04:25,920
Speaker 6: a Walmart delivery drone being shot down on Wednesday. It's

2268
02:04:26,000 --> 02:04:28,800
Speaker 6: one of the deputies confirmed there was a bullet hole

2269
02:04:28,800 --> 02:04:32,480

2276
02:04:53,880 --> 02:04:57,880
Speaker 6: easy one. From my end, that just leads me to say,

2277
02:04:58,120 --> 02:04:59,960
Speaker 6: Dennis Win, what kind of brand new fooler?

2278
02:05:00,120 --> 02:05:02,720

2280
02:05:05,080 --> 02:05:10,280

Speaker 6: People are just making people going crazy.

2282
02:05:14,080 --> 02:05:15,760

2283
02:05:15,800 --> 02:05:18,480
Speaker 2: this now a good three years. And we got to

2284
02:05:18,560 --> 02:05:22,880
Speaker 2: a street there where it seemed like Florida was every week. Man,

2285
02:05:22,920 --> 02:05:25,840
Speaker 2: there was something coming out of Florida every freaking week.

2286
02:05:25,880 --> 02:05:28,560
Speaker 2: So that kind of became our little inside joke, right yeah, No,

2287
02:05:28,680 --> 02:05:31,280
Speaker 2: Then we had a stretch where we didn't have any Florida's.

2288
02:05:31,360 --> 02:05:32,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, we went I would ask you.

2289
02:05:32,840 --> 02:05:33,920
Speaker 2: Are you from Florida? No? No?

2290
02:05:34,560 --> 02:05:38,800

2291
02:05:38,880 --> 02:05:40,960
Speaker 6: hiatus from from Florida a little.

2292
02:05:40,880 --> 02:05:44,240
Speaker 2: Right, I mean, And you know there's sometimes they get

2293
02:05:44,280 --> 02:05:47,640
Speaker 2: progressively darker. I remember there used to be a lot

2294
02:05:47,640 --> 02:05:50,360
Speaker 2: more lighthearted. Uh. And maybe we can, you know, find

2295
02:05:50,360 --> 02:05:51,760
Speaker 2: some more of those. I remember a couple of years

2296
02:05:51,800 --> 02:05:54,880
Speaker 2: ago Christopher Fett had this story in England about somebody

2297

02:12:59,200 --> 02:13:05,280
Speaker 2: Yep, here's a clue for both of you. It's technically

2425
02:13:05,320 --> 02:13:08,240
Speaker 2: a trick question. He turns forty Monday. Oh, he's going

2426
02:13:08,320 --> 02:13:08,600
Speaker 2: to do it.

2427
02:13:08,600 --> 02:13:09,200
Speaker 6: That's Lebron.

2428
02:13:09,640 --> 02:13:18,840
Speaker 2: Lebron James. Yeah, all right. Recently, Lamar Jackson became the

2429
02:13:18,920 --> 02:13:22,760
Speaker 2: all time leading rusher for the quarterback position in the

2430
02:13:22,880 --> 02:13:28,919
Speaker 2: National Football League. But he broke my record. Mark Ramsey,

2431
02:13:28,960 --> 02:13:29,560
Speaker 2: what my name?

2432
02:13:30,960 --> 02:13:31,880
Speaker 7: Fran Tarkenton.

2433
02:13:32,440 --> 02:13:34,800
Speaker 2: Well, that's a good one. Not Fran Tarkenton. I like

2434
02:13:34,880 --> 02:13:38,160
Speaker 2: that though. Lamar Jackson, he ran out low with the place.

2435
02:13:38,200 --> 02:13:39,200
Speaker 7: That's why I said I love.

2436
02:13:39,120 --> 02:13:41,600
Speaker 2: The guy man. He was great. Yeah he did. He

2437
02:13:41,640 --> 02:13:44,240
Speaker 2: surely didn't do that. Lamar Jackson is now the all

2438
02:13:44,280 --> 02:13:47,200
Speaker 2: time leading rusher as a position of quarterback in the

2439
02:13:47,240 --> 02:13:50,560
Speaker 2: National Football League. But he broke my record. Shay, what

2440
02:13:50,760 --> 02:13:52,960
Speaker 2: my name? Here's a clue. It just got named as

2441
02:13:52,960 --> 02:13:55,520
Speaker 2: a head football coach in Division one, even though I

2442
02:13:55,520 --> 02:13:56,600
Speaker 2: have no coaching experience.

2443
02:13:56,840 --> 02:13:58,960
Speaker 7: Oh, Michael Vick is Michael?

2444
02:14:00,160 --> 02:14:06,720
Speaker 2: I guess, Michael Michael Vick. Should we do one more? Guys, Well,

2445
02:14:06,720 --> 02:14:08,560
Speaker 2: we haven't done any baseball yet. Why we do that.

2446
02:14:09,360 --> 02:14:12,520
Speaker 2: I'm the only pitcher in Major League Baseball history who

2447
02:14:12,600 --> 02:14:19,160
Speaker 2: actually struck out Roger Morris and Mark McGuire. Mark Ramsey,

2448
02:14:19,200 --> 02:14:23,720
Speaker 2: what my name? You got a freeway named after him

2449
02:14:23,760 --> 02:14:25,480
Speaker 2: in Texas?

2450
02:14:25,480 --> 02:14:26,240
Speaker 7: Nolan Ryan?

2451
02:14:26,720 --> 02:14:31,960
Speaker 2: It is, in fact, Nolan Ryan killed it at It's

2452
02:14:35,640 --> 02:14:40,120
Speaker 2: all right, great job. Guys. Coming up, Do you ever

2453
02:14:40,360 --> 02:14:43,480
Speaker 2: doubt the power of sports betting?

2454
02:14:44,080 --> 02:14:44,240
Speaker 4: Will?

2455
02:14:44,320 --> 02:14:48,840
Speaker 2: You shouldn't? And I will share with you why. Coming up,

2456
02:14:49,800 --> 02:14:52,520
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Fraddlewerck Comedy lying from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio,

2457
02:14:52,560 --> 02:14:55,400
Speaker 2: tirect dot Com studios. Keep it locked you listen to

2458
02:14:55,440 --> 02:14:57,920
Speaker 2: the Bernie Frowntle Show on Fox Sports Radio. We're back

2459
02:14:57,920 --> 02:15:03,000
Speaker 2: on the Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Sports Radio, coming to

2460
02:15:03,040 --> 02:15:07,520
Speaker 2: live from the Tarack dot Com studios here in Las Vegas.

2461
02:15:07,800 --> 02:15:12,440
Speaker 2: You know, uh, Bill Belichick did not show up at

2462
02:15:12,480 --> 02:15:15,120
Speaker 2: the North Carolina Yukon Bowl game at the Fenway Bull

2463
02:15:15,200 --> 02:15:21,040
Speaker 2: and it's already being you know, analyzed by amateur psychologists

2464
02:15:21,040 --> 02:15:24,800
Speaker 2: as whether it's a positive and negative or nothing. I

2465
02:15:24,840 --> 02:15:27,640
Speaker 2: know here Las Vegas, Dan Mullen, their new coach, showed

2466
02:15:27,680 --> 02:15:30,720
Speaker 2: up to California Bowl. They're just this, there's just this

2467
02:15:30,960 --> 02:15:34,640
Speaker 2: general belief that this damn thing with Bill Belichick at

2468
02:15:34,640 --> 02:15:37,520
Speaker 2: North Carolina is gonna work out. Now they can prove

2469
02:15:37,600 --> 02:15:40,080
Speaker 2: us wrong, but we're gonna that's one of the things

2470
02:15:40,120 --> 02:15:42,800
Speaker 2: we're gonna be watching. Unlet's the exercise is that goofy

2471
02:15:42,800 --> 02:15:47,880
Speaker 2: class before January first, But it still raises the question

2472
02:15:47,960 --> 02:15:49,960
Speaker 2: as to you know, well all the NFL openings, it'll

2473
02:15:49,960 --> 02:15:54,120
Speaker 2: be coming up seven. Would you be shocked if Belichick

2474
02:15:54,720 --> 02:15:57,480
Speaker 2: doesn't maybe Steven or one of those. I don't be shocked,

2475
02:15:57,520 --> 02:16:02,920
Speaker 2: but are you also shocked that Belichick was rejected by

2476
02:16:02,920 --> 02:16:06,760
Speaker 2: the NFL? And would you be shocked if Belichick flames

2477
02:16:06,800 --> 02:16:08,840
Speaker 2: out in North Carolina? Well, I'll tell you one guy

2478
02:16:08,840 --> 02:16:12,440
Speaker 2: who's not. You know, Phil Simms was a Super Bowl

2479
02:16:12,440 --> 02:16:16,160
Speaker 2: winning quarterback. His son Chris Sims, very prominent in the media,

2480
02:16:17,040 --> 02:16:20,000
Speaker 2: played football at Texas and played for the Tampa Bay Bucks.

2481
02:16:21,560 --> 02:16:22,920
Speaker 2: I got to tell you, I don't know what the

2482
02:16:22,960 --> 02:16:24,800
Speaker 2: hell who pissed on his corn flakes or lipped the

2483
02:16:24,800 --> 02:16:28,280
Speaker 2: red off his lollipop? He didn't like Bill Belichick, and

2484
02:16:29,600 --> 02:16:32,959
Speaker 2: he is that he is not only very surprised that

2485
02:16:33,000 --> 02:16:36,440
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick accepted the head coaching job at North Carolina,

2486
02:16:37,240 --> 02:16:41,000
Speaker 2: he'd be even more shocked if Belichick doesn't flame out quickly.

2487
02:16:42,160 --> 02:16:46,199
Speaker 2: And he's not shocked at all that Belichick was rejected

2488
02:16:46,200 --> 02:16:50,360
Speaker 2: by the NFL. His quote was, in fact, no, I'm

2489
02:16:50,360 --> 02:16:56,000
Speaker 2: not shocked. He treated most people quote in the NFL

2490
02:16:56,080 --> 02:16:59,280
Speaker 2: like well, you can't say it on the air, but

2491
02:16:59,320 --> 02:17:04,840
Speaker 2: it's a four letter word that rhymes with lit and

2492
02:17:04,920 --> 02:17:07,840
Speaker 2: it's poop right. He treated most of the NFL like

2493
02:17:08,040 --> 02:17:12,080
Speaker 2: you know what. Chris Simms did not pull any punches.

2494
02:17:13,200 --> 02:17:15,000
Speaker 2: Do I believe he's going to stay there long? When

2495
02:17:15,520 --> 02:17:19,320
Speaker 2: Chris Simms was asked about Belichick's tenure at North Carolina,

2496
02:17:20,200 --> 02:17:25,160
Speaker 2: again didn't pull punches, said absolutely not. Quote. I mean,

2497
02:17:25,520 --> 02:17:30,400
Speaker 2: the bio tells you everything starting on this June. This June,

2498
02:17:30,440 --> 02:17:32,280
Speaker 2: before they even play a game, he can be bought

2499
02:17:32,280 --> 02:17:35,080
Speaker 2: off for couch cushion change. I mean, come on, a

2500
02:17:35,120 --> 02:17:38,200
Speaker 2: million dollars. Belichick's got a million dollars in cash he

2501
02:17:38,200 --> 02:17:40,320
Speaker 2: can put in his pocket and pay that off. That's nothing.

2502
02:17:40,520 --> 02:17:43,480
Speaker 2: He's worth hundreds of millions. That's nothing. That alone tells

2503
02:17:43,520 --> 02:17:46,360
Speaker 2: me he doesn't want to stay there long term. He

2504
02:17:46,480 --> 02:17:48,920
Speaker 2: was shocked, I know, and this is Sims quote, so

2505
02:17:49,000 --> 02:17:51,200
Speaker 2: were people around him that there wasn't more of a

2506
02:17:51,200 --> 02:17:52,760
Speaker 2: calling for him to be a head coach in the

2507
02:17:52,840 --> 02:17:56,600
Speaker 2: National Football League. So quote, yeah, my shocked. He's going

2508
02:17:56,640 --> 02:17:59,039
Speaker 2: to college. Definitely that I think there'd be a team

2509
02:17:59,080 --> 02:18:00,840
Speaker 2: out there that would latch on the Belichick. I did

2510
02:18:00,879 --> 02:18:04,600
Speaker 2: think that, but I'm not shocked at the NFL rejected Belichick.

2511
02:18:05,360 --> 02:18:08,680
Speaker 2: His control his demeanor, everything that comes along with him. Yeah,

2512
02:18:08,720 --> 02:18:10,600
Speaker 2: there's gonna be some organizations that are going to be like,

2513
02:18:11,040 --> 02:18:14,040
Speaker 2: we don't want to deal with that. We don't know

2514
02:18:14,040 --> 02:18:16,080
Speaker 2: how much long he's gonna coach, and we're not going

2515
02:18:16,160 --> 02:18:17,880
Speaker 2: to give him free reign to take over everything if

2516
02:18:17,879 --> 02:18:19,959
Speaker 2: he's only going to be here for two or three years.

2517
02:18:20,640 --> 02:18:24,200
Speaker 2: By the way, Sims also suggested that Bill Belichick has

2518
02:18:24,240 --> 02:18:27,920
Speaker 2: a long history of alienating colleagues across the NFL and

2519
02:18:27,959 --> 02:18:30,360
Speaker 2: that could be the reason for the lack of interest. Again,

2520
02:18:30,440 --> 02:18:33,800
Speaker 2: he doubled down. Belichick has treated most of the NFL

2521
02:18:33,840 --> 02:18:37,000
Speaker 2: people like ish for the last twenty years, sim said,

2522
02:18:37,360 --> 02:18:39,360
Speaker 2: And I don't mean it as disrespectful. It's just that

2523
02:18:39,440 --> 02:18:42,320
Speaker 2: the Patriots are so uptight, so quietly, they don't talk

2524
02:18:42,360 --> 02:18:44,480
Speaker 2: to anybody. He doesn't let coaches talk to other coaches

2525
02:18:44,520 --> 02:18:47,520
Speaker 2: on the field pregame. Certainly a lot of coaches think

2526
02:18:47,560 --> 02:18:50,160
Speaker 2: there's a lot of arrogance that came out of New

2527
02:18:50,200 --> 02:18:53,080
Speaker 2: England in the last twenty years. Sims went on to say,

2528
02:18:53,160 --> 02:18:56,400
Speaker 2: I've talked this about this on TV over the last

2529
02:18:56,440 --> 02:18:58,640
Speaker 2: twenty years. If you give me a dollar for every

2530
02:18:58,720 --> 02:19:03,080
Speaker 2: coach talked to the said, oh, New England. Oh yeah,

2531
02:19:03,200 --> 02:19:06,520
Speaker 2: I forget. They think they invented football. Oh yeah, New England.

2532
02:19:06,520 --> 02:19:08,640
Speaker 2: They think they know everything. Oh yeah, Belichick's got all

2533
02:19:08,680 --> 02:19:11,920
Speaker 2: the answers. Oh yeah. They burned a lot of bridges there.

2534
02:19:12,280 --> 02:19:14,960
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of people in football, according to

2535
02:19:15,040 --> 02:19:18,200
Speaker 2: Chris Simms, who's pretty well plugged in, who wouldn't want

2536
02:19:18,240 --> 02:19:24,360
Speaker 2: to deal with Belichick in general. So look, he had

2537
02:19:24,360 --> 02:19:27,240
Speaker 2: some nice things to say about Michael Lombardi. Lombardi, I'll

2538
02:19:27,280 --> 02:19:30,760
Speaker 2: be working for Belichick in North Carolina. But be that

2539
02:19:30,800 --> 02:19:32,480
Speaker 2: as it may, he said. When it comes to business,

2540
02:19:33,320 --> 02:19:37,440
Speaker 2: Chris Sims isn't exactly trusting Bill Belichick. You can see

2541
02:19:37,480 --> 02:19:39,680
Speaker 2: he dodges questions. He can be asked a pretty good

2542
02:19:39,680 --> 02:19:41,959
Speaker 2: in the media. And what's kind of funny about the

2543
02:19:41,959 --> 02:19:43,400
Speaker 2: whole thing, he doesn't talk to the media for the

2544
02:19:43,480 --> 02:19:45,560
Speaker 2: last fifteen years, and now all of a sudden he's

2545
02:19:45,600 --> 02:19:50,920
Speaker 2: a media darling. He you know, I don't know, hypocritical.

2546
02:19:51,879 --> 02:19:54,320
Speaker 2: I give a lot of credence to what Chris sim says.

2547
02:19:54,360 --> 02:19:56,280
Speaker 2: I guess we're gonna just have to find out and

2548
02:19:56,400 --> 02:19:59,720
Speaker 2: wait and see coming up. We covered it all on

2549
02:19:59,720 --> 02:20:04,959
Speaker 2: the show, including Football Spilled Futbol. It's time Chris Purfetts

2550
02:20:05,080 --> 02:20:06,160
Speaker 2: word of soccer.

2551
02:20:07,720 --> 02:20:18,240
Speaker 9: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drum.

2552
02:20:21,240 --> 02:20:22,520
Speaker 4: I ain't give the level.

2553
02:20:23,600 --> 02:20:27,039
Speaker 1: It's all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

2554
02:20:27,360 --> 02:20:28,080
Speaker 5: All right, Bernie.

2555
02:20:28,160 --> 02:20:30,039
Speaker 8: On this edition in the World of Soccer, we are

2556
02:20:30,080 --> 02:20:31,720
Speaker 8: going to a place we haven't been in a while,

2557
02:20:31,760 --> 02:20:35,400
Speaker 8: which is talking about one of the most story franchises

2558
02:20:35,879 --> 02:20:39,920
Speaker 8: in English soccer, and we're talking about Manchester United. Now

2559
02:20:39,959 --> 02:20:42,520
Speaker 8: we've talked a lot about Manchester City and there are

2560
02:20:42,560 --> 02:20:45,600
Speaker 8: problems that have taken the forefront, but we really haven't

2561
02:20:45,640 --> 02:20:49,720
Speaker 8: talked about United because reill really United is really tough

2562
02:20:49,720 --> 02:20:52,200
Speaker 8: to look at right now. Coming into the weekend, they

2563
02:20:52,200 --> 02:20:54,920
Speaker 8: are way down on the table. Out of twenty teams

2564
02:20:54,920 --> 02:20:58,440
Speaker 8: in the Premier League. They were as of Friday ranked

2565
02:20:58,600 --> 02:21:01,560
Speaker 8: fourteenth with two points. They have a chance to go

2566
02:21:01,640 --> 02:21:03,800
Speaker 8: up a little bit more here as they prepare to

2567
02:21:03,800 --> 02:21:07,400
Speaker 8: play on Monday against a fifth plug going into the weekend,

2568
02:21:07,480 --> 02:21:12,000
Speaker 8: fifth place Newcastle United Club. But I think the story

2569
02:21:12,000 --> 02:21:15,880
Speaker 8: of United has been rough and tumble landings as it

2570
02:21:15,920 --> 02:21:18,800
Speaker 8: has been for really the past few years for them.

2571
02:21:19,000 --> 02:21:21,720
Speaker 8: Their star has dimmed in a lot of ways and

2572
02:21:21,920 --> 02:21:25,840
Speaker 8: once again pressure is mounting on their brand new manager,

2573
02:21:25,959 --> 02:21:31,280
Speaker 8: Ruben Amorin, who's only really been with the club since November.

2574
02:21:31,440 --> 02:21:34,920
Speaker 8: It's usually a lot of time. Did these clubs keep

2575
02:21:35,480 --> 02:21:37,840
Speaker 8: switching out managers all they can? I don't think he's

2576
02:21:37,879 --> 02:21:40,200
Speaker 8: going to He's taking some of the brunt of the

2577
02:21:40,200 --> 02:21:43,520
Speaker 8: criticism but saying you know that at United you are

2578
02:21:43,560 --> 02:21:46,760
Speaker 8: never safe. Every coach is in danger and opening up

2579
02:21:46,800 --> 02:21:50,240
Speaker 8: to the criticism that continues the club come over and

2580
02:21:50,280 --> 02:21:54,120
Speaker 8: over again for the manager at Manchester United, where it

2581
02:21:54,160 --> 02:21:57,120
Speaker 8: seems more like a curse than a blessing to walk

2582
02:21:57,160 --> 02:22:00,600
Speaker 8: the walk the sidelines of a club, but that has

2583
02:22:00,680 --> 02:22:02,720
Speaker 8: seen so much history behind them.

2584
02:22:03,040 --> 02:22:04,840
Speaker 5: But the nice thing is Amaran is.

2585
02:22:04,840 --> 02:22:07,879
Speaker 8: Getting some support and it's in it's in the form

2586
02:22:07,920 --> 02:22:10,640
Speaker 8: of a person we haven't talked about in a while,

2587
02:22:10,680 --> 02:22:14,360
Speaker 8: and that is Crisciano Ronaldo. Will the last couple of

2588
02:22:14,400 --> 02:22:17,720
Speaker 8: years might may very well have been about Leonel Messi

2589
02:22:17,760 --> 02:22:20,800
Speaker 8: and all Lionel Messi does and this, that and the other.

2590
02:22:21,040 --> 02:22:24,640
Speaker 8: Cristiano Ronaldo continue to have made himself quite a name

2591
02:22:24,760 --> 02:22:28,160
Speaker 8: while playing over in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Super Pro

2592
02:22:28,280 --> 02:22:31,960
Speaker 8: League still continuing onward through the winter, but at the

2593
02:22:32,000 --> 02:22:35,320
Speaker 8: Global Soccer Awards he did talk on a few things

2594
02:22:35,360 --> 02:22:37,960
Speaker 8: out here. One of the things he talked about was

2595
02:22:38,240 --> 02:22:43,160
Speaker 8: about the job that Rumed Amerim was doing, and Ronaldo

2596
02:22:43,280 --> 02:22:44,439
Speaker 8: said that the Premier.

2597
02:22:44,240 --> 02:22:46,160
Speaker 5: League is the most difficult league in the world.

2598
02:22:46,959 --> 02:22:50,520
Speaker 8: All teams are good, all teams fight, all the teams run,

2599
02:22:50,560 --> 02:22:53,080
Speaker 8: all the players are strong. I said this one and

2600
02:22:53,080 --> 02:22:54,800
Speaker 8: a half years ago and I will continue to say it.

2601
02:22:54,840 --> 02:22:57,720
Speaker 8: The problem is not the coaches. It's like an aquarium.

2602
02:22:58,080 --> 02:23:00,800
Speaker 8: If you have the fish inside and he's sick, and

2603
02:23:00,879 --> 02:23:02,240
Speaker 8: you take him out and you fix the problem, you

2604
02:23:02,240 --> 02:23:04,760
Speaker 8: put him in the aquarium again. In an aquarium, they

2605
02:23:04,760 --> 02:23:07,320
Speaker 8: will be sick again. The problem of Manchester United is

2606
02:23:07,360 --> 02:23:09,560
Speaker 8: the same. The problem is not always the coach. It's

2607
02:23:09,680 --> 02:23:12,000
Speaker 8: much more than that. If I will be the owner

2608
02:23:12,040 --> 02:23:14,560
Speaker 8: of a club, I will make things clear and adjust

2609
02:23:14,600 --> 02:23:16,959
Speaker 8: what I think is bad there. We really have to

2610
02:23:16,959 --> 02:23:22,800
Speaker 8: remember this that Christiano Ronaldo, longtime player for Manchester United,

2611
02:23:23,400 --> 02:23:26,440
Speaker 8: after leaving United in twenty twenty two, had a bit

2612
02:23:26,480 --> 02:23:28,840
Speaker 8: of a public falling out with the club.

2613
02:23:29,480 --> 02:23:30,160
Speaker 5: Some of that was.

2614
02:23:30,160 --> 02:23:33,400
Speaker 8: Directed at then manager Eric ten Hogg, but a lot

2615
02:23:33,440 --> 02:23:38,039
Speaker 8: of it was also directed to the Glazer family, who

2616
02:23:38,080 --> 02:23:42,120
Speaker 8: owns Manchester United, and even after the sale of many

2617
02:23:42,160 --> 02:23:46,720
Speaker 8: of those shares to Sir Jim Ratcliffe, British billionaire, and

2618
02:23:47,000 --> 02:23:48,880
Speaker 8: the hopes that he would take more of an active

2619
02:23:49,000 --> 02:23:52,520
Speaker 8: role in the organization. The Glazer family still are the

2620
02:23:52,520 --> 02:23:56,440
Speaker 8: majority owners of United, with Avraman Joel Glazer serving as

2621
02:23:56,440 --> 02:24:00,760
Speaker 8: co chairman, and as much as the Glazer are very

2622
02:24:00,760 --> 02:24:05,160
Speaker 8: good businessmen, many of the woes, it bears to be said,

2623
02:24:05,360 --> 02:24:09,000
Speaker 8: have come under the ownership of the Glazer family to

2624
02:24:09,080 --> 02:24:12,000
Speaker 8: the point where Manchester United fans as a whole really

2625
02:24:12,040 --> 02:24:15,920
Speaker 8: regard the ownership as a sticking point, that the Glazers

2626
02:24:15,959 --> 02:24:21,039
Speaker 8: are something to be removed from the overlook of Manchester United,

2627
02:24:21,240 --> 02:24:24,680
Speaker 8: and Ronaldo has had history with them, and Ronaldo in

2628
02:24:24,720 --> 02:24:27,240
Speaker 8: those times when it was falling out, did say that

2629
02:24:27,280 --> 02:24:31,840
Speaker 8: the Glazer family don't quote unquote don't care about the club. Yes,

2630
02:24:32,240 --> 02:24:36,440
Speaker 8: ownership is a thorny situation in the world of soccer

2631
02:24:36,560 --> 02:24:40,240
Speaker 8: because these teams are bound mostly on how they spend

2632
02:24:40,240 --> 02:24:43,840
Speaker 8: their money and how they conduct their finances. Ownership is

2633
02:24:43,959 --> 02:24:47,640
Speaker 8: a bigger deal than in some North American sports, and

2634
02:24:47,879 --> 02:24:51,160
Speaker 8: very much so that one you've changed managers this many times,

2635
02:24:51,400 --> 02:24:55,240
Speaker 8: when you've cleared out a lot of their sought football

2636
02:24:55,280 --> 02:24:57,920
Speaker 8: operations over and over that.

2637
02:24:58,040 --> 02:24:59,800
Speaker 5: Ultimately, the only place you can go.

2638
02:24:59,760 --> 02:25:04,000
Speaker 8: Stick well is ownership. These are expensive toys. You are

2639
02:25:04,040 --> 02:25:07,039
Speaker 8: expected to put money back into the club more than

2640
02:25:07,080 --> 02:25:10,200
Speaker 8: any other sport out there. There is no salary cap,

2641
02:25:10,480 --> 02:25:15,080
Speaker 8: there is no revenue sharing. In many places, it is

2642
02:25:15,200 --> 02:25:18,640
Speaker 8: you will spend or you will fall among the dinosaurs.

2643
02:25:18,840 --> 02:25:21,879
Speaker 8: And Manchester United, for a lot of their fans have

2644
02:25:21,959 --> 02:25:25,640
Speaker 8: looked at the Glazer family and seen an absentee family

2645
02:25:25,920 --> 02:25:27,279
Speaker 8: who does not really.

2646
02:25:28,760 --> 02:25:30,280
Speaker 5: Steward the club very well.

2647
02:25:30,959 --> 02:25:32,760
Speaker 8: The fact of the matter is if this was a

2648
02:25:32,920 --> 02:25:36,400
Speaker 8: ownership and a situation that we could really talk about

2649
02:25:36,400 --> 02:25:39,360
Speaker 8: Manchester United, there'd be no universe where we would consider

2650
02:25:39,400 --> 02:25:42,760
Speaker 8: them fourteenth on a table at any point in the

2651
02:25:42,800 --> 02:25:46,720
Speaker 8: season outside of maybe like the first five weeks of Shenanigans.

2652
02:25:47,040 --> 02:25:50,119
Speaker 8: Either way, fourteenth to this point in the season almost

2653
02:25:50,680 --> 02:25:54,760
Speaker 8: you know, are basically at the halfway point, is quite

2654
02:25:54,760 --> 02:25:59,040
Speaker 8: frankly unacceptable. I don't know if AMAIM will continue to

2655
02:25:59,040 --> 02:26:00,720
Speaker 8: see out to the end of the season. I don't

2656
02:26:00,800 --> 02:26:03,280
Speaker 8: really know what their problem is right now other than

2657
02:26:03,280 --> 02:26:05,840
Speaker 8: they're just not playing great soccer. At the end of

2658
02:26:05,879 --> 02:26:07,640
Speaker 8: the day, this has gone from being one of the

2659
02:26:07,640 --> 02:26:10,039
Speaker 8: top clubs out there to a club that just really

2660
02:26:10,160 --> 02:26:14,320
Speaker 8: lacks culture. On the field, they lack aggression and ultimately,

2661
02:26:14,320 --> 02:26:17,240
Speaker 8: while they do have some names, they are not stars

2662
02:26:17,320 --> 02:26:20,400
Speaker 8: and they are not a club that can really contend for.

2663
02:26:20,440 --> 02:26:21,920
Speaker 5: Much of anything.

2664
02:26:22,320 --> 02:26:24,400
Speaker 8: This is what I would say in any spot, Bernie,

2665
02:26:24,480 --> 02:26:26,520
Speaker 8: you have to have a plan to get out of

2666
02:26:26,520 --> 02:26:28,760
Speaker 8: being a bad team, and once you have that plan,

2667
02:26:28,840 --> 02:26:30,160
Speaker 8: you have to stick by it.

2668
02:26:30,200 --> 02:26:32,440
Speaker 5: I don't know what the plan is for Manchester United.

2669
02:26:32,720 --> 02:26:34,720
Speaker 8: I hope at some point they will have it, because

2670
02:26:34,760 --> 02:26:37,480
Speaker 8: soccer is better when we are talking about the Red

2671
02:26:37,520 --> 02:26:40,879
Speaker 8: Devils and meaningful Manchester derbys and things of that nature.

2672
02:26:41,400 --> 02:26:43,400
Speaker 8: That'll do it for us on this edition. We'll see

2673
02:26:43,400 --> 02:26:45,800
Speaker 8: you next time and in the new year on the

2674
02:26:45,800 --> 02:26:46,600
Speaker 8: world of soccer.

2675
02:26:47,959 --> 02:26:50,560
Speaker 2: Boy, there you have it, and we will have a

2676
02:26:50,600 --> 02:26:55,240
Speaker 2: new year at the beginning on Wednesday, and not just

2677
02:26:55,320 --> 02:26:57,800
Speaker 2: soccer but all the sports. We have a hell of

02:28:26,879 --> 02:28:30,480
Speaker 2: up which should be a pretty rockets. NFL Sunday went

2706
02:28:30,520 --> 02:28:34,360
Speaker 2: over all the NFL playoff scenarios and what has to

2707
02:28:34,360 --> 02:28:38,240
Speaker 2: happen as a league insign. Fine fellow, there's already more

2708
02:28:39,320 --> 02:28:41,800
Speaker 2: more news stories coming across that I'll have for you

2709
02:28:41,879 --> 02:28:44,480
Speaker 2: that are Some of them are downright hilarious. I mean,

2710
02:28:44,520 --> 02:28:46,240
Speaker 2: you heard me talk about the Pop Tarts Bowl earlier.

2711
02:28:46,240 --> 02:28:48,680
Speaker 2: I'm just not finding out there was a fistfight on

2712
02:28:48,720 --> 02:28:50,080
Speaker 2: the sidelines at.

2713
02:28:50,000 --> 02:28:50,560
Speaker 4: The end of the game.

2714
02:28:50,640 --> 02:28:53,960
Speaker 2: During the Pop Tarts ceremony. The Miami players were fighting

2715
02:28:53,959 --> 02:28:57,400
Speaker 2: amongst themselves. Maybe it's time for another thirty for thirty

2716
02:28:57,480 --> 02:29:00,240
Speaker 2: the U Part three, Like what are you doing? What

2717
02:29:00,280 --> 02:29:06,440
Speaker 2: do you use doing? All right? The power of sports betting,

2718
02:29:06,720 --> 02:29:13,680
Speaker 2: Make no mistake, it's endemic. He may have heard the

2719
02:29:13,720 --> 02:29:20,640
Speaker 2: story about the prize recruit linebacker who took his official

2720
02:29:20,680 --> 02:29:23,920
Speaker 2: visit to Notre Dame and as part of the enticement

2721
02:29:23,920 --> 02:29:26,920
Speaker 2: to get him to go to Notre Dame, they invited

2722
02:29:27,000 --> 02:29:30,440
Speaker 2: him into the locker room before the game at one

2723
02:29:30,480 --> 02:29:35,119
Speaker 2: of the home football games for a pregame speech. Story's apocryphal,

2724
02:29:35,160 --> 02:29:37,400
Speaker 2: by the way, So don't nobody lose their minds. I'm

2725
02:29:37,400 --> 02:29:41,200
Speaker 2: a good Catholic boy. And at any rate, the father, mkay.

2726
02:29:41,200 --> 02:29:43,600
Speaker 2: He led the team in prayer, and he was very

2727
02:29:43,640 --> 02:29:48,600
Speaker 2: emotional and very heartfelt and very motivating. And at the

2728
02:29:48,720 --> 02:29:52,080
Speaker 2: end of the prayer, the team jumped up, fired up,

2729
02:29:52,120 --> 02:29:54,920
Speaker 2: and sprinted through the tunnel on the field. They were

2730
02:29:54,959 --> 02:29:57,360
Speaker 2: ready to go. And the un recruit, well, he looked

2731
02:29:57,360 --> 02:30:01,160
Speaker 2: at Father mkahy and says, Wow, that was really something, man.

2732
02:30:01,440 --> 02:30:03,840
Speaker 2: Do you think something like that prior to the game

2733
02:30:04,280 --> 02:30:07,240
Speaker 2: really really helps us here at Notre Dame problem? Okay,

2734
02:30:07,320 --> 02:30:09,360
Speaker 2: he said, I hope. So we're laying seven points today,

2735
02:30:11,200 --> 02:30:16,000
Speaker 2: so I will tell you that, yes, PASPA may have

2736
02:30:16,120 --> 02:30:19,920
Speaker 2: legalized betting sports betting, and not about thirty four states

2737
02:30:19,920 --> 02:30:24,080
Speaker 2: in the United States, but long before that, okay, it had

2738
02:30:24,120 --> 02:30:26,840
Speaker 2: been more mainstream than anybody wants to give it credit

2739
02:30:26,879 --> 02:30:32,240
Speaker 2: for it. Now, if you don't believe me, let's let's

2740
02:30:32,240 --> 02:30:35,200
Speaker 2: take a little slice of a short sample size which

2741
02:30:35,240 --> 02:30:40,039
Speaker 2: is very representative to just the Thanksgiving NFL games this year,

2742
02:30:40,520 --> 02:30:45,359
Speaker 2: all right, and my buddy Jason Stewart the Doug Gottlieb

2743
02:30:45,440 --> 02:30:48,560
Speaker 2: Show likes to say he truly believes that the actual

2744
02:30:49,920 --> 02:30:52,680
Speaker 2: and he's not necessarily wrong. The actual on field product

2745
02:30:52,680 --> 02:30:57,400
Speaker 2: across the National Football League is declining. I don't disagree.

2746
02:30:58,800 --> 02:31:00,760
Speaker 2: There's a context of this, but I don't disagree with

2747
02:31:00,800 --> 02:31:05,800
Speaker 2: the general premise. There's a lot of defensive dominance, There's

2748
02:31:05,840 --> 02:31:10,640
Speaker 2: been very highly inconsistent in poor quarterback play, and there's

2749
02:31:10,680 --> 02:31:14,520
Speaker 2: always injuries. The league is I've sometimes over officiated too

2750
02:31:14,520 --> 02:31:18,160
Speaker 2: many damn penalties. Right, Marvin Mims catches that pass today,

2751
02:31:18,160 --> 02:31:20,000
Speaker 2: we got to sit around for five minutes and twil

2752
02:31:20,040 --> 02:31:22,480
Speaker 2: our thumbs, Well, they determine it was in fact to catch.

2753
02:31:23,200 --> 02:31:25,520
Speaker 2: These things, to me are speed bumps on the game.

2754
02:31:26,560 --> 02:31:31,800
Speaker 2: So the athleticism and the competition and the grace and

2755
02:31:31,840 --> 02:31:35,000
Speaker 2: the fluidity among the players themselves is perhaps at an

2756
02:31:35,040 --> 02:31:39,360
Speaker 2: all time high. The product is not always great, but

2757
02:31:40,920 --> 02:31:44,480
Speaker 2: the league's popularity on television continues to go through the

2758
02:31:44,560 --> 02:31:51,560
Speaker 2: roof because in large part they're catering to audiences that

2759
02:31:51,640 --> 02:31:54,480
Speaker 2: don't totally much give a flying horses petued about the

2760
02:31:54,520 --> 02:32:00,279
Speaker 2: actual product or watching If you don't believe me. Thanksgiving Day,

2761
02:32:00,920 --> 02:32:06,880
Speaker 2: the three games averaged thirty four million viewers, thirty seven

2762
02:32:06,920 --> 02:32:10,240
Speaker 2: million for the Lions Bears, thirty eight for the Giants Cowboys.

2763
02:32:10,600 --> 02:32:14,959
Speaker 2: Those numbers represent the largest Thanksgiving Day audience ever for

2764
02:32:15,000 --> 02:32:19,120
Speaker 2: the NFL's Thanksgiving games. Even a late game between the

2765
02:32:19,120 --> 02:32:21,920
Speaker 2: Stinky Dolphins and the Green Bay Packers pulled in twenty

2766
02:32:21,920 --> 02:32:27,039
Speaker 2: six million viewers. The NFL has built a machine. They

2767
02:32:27,080 --> 02:32:33,120
Speaker 2: can only go forward. They are unstoppable, and the reason

2768
02:32:33,200 --> 02:32:38,039
Speaker 2: is simple. You can thank sports betting for aiding and

2769
02:32:38,120 --> 02:32:41,200
Speaker 2: a betting it was already a popular product and now

2770
02:32:41,800 --> 02:32:45,760
Speaker 2: driving it to heights that we've never seen. And those

2771
02:32:45,800 --> 02:32:51,160
Speaker 2: heights will continue to go higher. The Lions Bears game,

2772
02:32:51,200 --> 02:32:55,840
Speaker 2: for the most part, was allows the game. The first half,

2773
02:32:56,520 --> 02:33:02,360
Speaker 2: Chicago had what maybe fifty yards of offense. Meanwhile the

2774
02:33:02,560 --> 02:33:07,160
Speaker 2: Giants Conboys game, well, he was a quarterback duel between

2775
02:33:07,160 --> 02:33:12,520
Speaker 2: two legends, Drew Locke and Cooper Rush. And it's even

2776
02:33:12,560 --> 02:33:16,400
Speaker 2: worse than it sounds because during the course of the

2777
02:33:16,440 --> 02:33:20,080
Speaker 2: game there were less than four hundred yards combined in

2778
02:33:20,200 --> 02:33:24,199
Speaker 2: passing and just one passing touchdown and there was an interception. Okay,

2779
02:33:25,440 --> 02:33:28,039
Speaker 2: so where am I going with this? None of the

2780
02:33:28,080 --> 02:33:32,480
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving Day games represent the best the NFL has to offer.

2781
02:33:33,280 --> 02:33:37,400
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter because people are going to watch. They're

2782
02:33:37,440 --> 02:33:41,840
Speaker 2: going to watch games they're betting on. People like to bet.

2783
02:33:42,320 --> 02:33:47,360
Speaker 2: The average better is upwardly mobile, educated family man. Not

2784
02:33:47,440 --> 02:33:49,680
Speaker 2: everybody falls in that category, but that's not the point.

2785
02:33:50,360 --> 02:33:54,039
Speaker 2: What they have in common is it feeds their competitive

2786
02:33:54,040 --> 02:33:58,960
Speaker 2: spirit and it enhances the viewing participation of the game.

2787
02:33:59,840 --> 02:34:02,160
Speaker 2: And by having a little skin in the game, it

2788
02:34:02,240 --> 02:34:05,879
Speaker 2: makes it that much more enjoyable. And the long and

2789
02:34:05,920 --> 02:34:10,760
Speaker 2: the short of it, people will watch what they're betting on. Now,

2790
02:34:10,800 --> 02:34:14,480
Speaker 2: gambling and football has become a tradition for millions of

2791
02:34:14,520 --> 02:34:19,040
Speaker 2: Americans all day, every day, and not just sitting at

2792
02:34:19,040 --> 02:34:21,640
Speaker 2: home on holidays, whether they binge eating and binge drinking

2793
02:34:21,640 --> 02:34:26,920
Speaker 2: and watching television. And who has truly truly benefited from

2794
02:34:26,920 --> 02:34:31,039
Speaker 2: that phenomenon. Even as difficult as is to win money,

2795
02:34:31,280 --> 02:34:35,000
Speaker 2: whether it's prop bets or beating the Vegas odds sides totals, Look,

2796
02:34:36,000 --> 02:34:39,400
Speaker 2: here's another aspect of it. I will tell you I've

2797
02:34:39,440 --> 02:34:41,680
Speaker 2: been doing this a long time, and I've lived in

2798
02:34:41,720 --> 02:34:45,840
Speaker 2: Vegas a long time. The average joe thinks they bet

2799
02:34:45,879 --> 02:34:48,240
Speaker 2: to win. They don't really get high winning the bet.

2800
02:34:48,320 --> 02:34:52,760
Speaker 2: They get high making the bet. It's an absolute rush.

2801
02:34:53,440 --> 02:34:57,840
Speaker 2: This has been studied scientifically. If fans have money on something,

2802
02:34:58,280 --> 02:35:01,720
Speaker 2: they watch it, and the NFL is the perfect vessel

2803
02:35:02,000 --> 02:35:06,160
Speaker 2: for putting money on sports. This is where other sports

2804
02:35:06,920 --> 02:35:11,000
Speaker 2: like baseball, where you play every day. I love baseball.

2805
02:35:11,520 --> 02:35:14,520
Speaker 2: I played professional baseball one hundred and sixty two games.

2806
02:35:14,920 --> 02:35:17,760
Speaker 2: It doesn't spread over over too many days. It doesn't

2807
02:35:17,800 --> 02:35:23,680
Speaker 2: have the same panache that an NFL game does. It's

2808
02:35:23,720 --> 02:35:28,560
Speaker 2: not suited to betting the way the NFL does all right,

2809
02:35:29,120 --> 02:35:32,440
Speaker 2: even if you have July fourth triple headers, it doesn't

2810
02:35:32,480 --> 02:35:35,160
Speaker 2: have the same kind of importance that you're going to

2811
02:35:35,200 --> 02:35:37,360
Speaker 2: have on Thanksgiving Day. Football is just built for this.

2812
02:35:38,200 --> 02:35:41,640
Speaker 2: The bottom line is it's a testament to the power

2813
02:35:41,640 --> 02:35:45,640
Speaker 2: of sports betting and modern society that tens of millions

2814
02:35:45,680 --> 02:35:52,119
Speaker 2: of people are happy to tune in to, at times

2815
02:35:52,840 --> 02:35:57,680
Speaker 2: some of the most in artful, ugly bad football we've

2816
02:35:57,680 --> 02:36:00,920
Speaker 2: ever seen. Now, that's not across to board the National

2817
02:36:00,920 --> 02:36:04,840
Speaker 2: Football League, but again, thanks to defensive dominance and the

2818
02:36:05,000 --> 02:36:08,840
Speaker 2: up and down quarterback play, players getting hurt, the game

2819
02:36:08,920 --> 02:36:15,480
Speaker 2: being over officiated, stops, starts, replays. It never ends. You

2820
02:36:15,520 --> 02:36:18,320
Speaker 2: don't really care that much about the actual product you're

2821
02:36:18,360 --> 02:36:23,400
Speaker 2: watching as long as you have a few bucks on it.

2822
02:36:23,400 --> 02:36:26,800
Speaker 2: It enhances the viewing participation, It feeds your competitive spirit,

2823
02:36:27,520 --> 02:36:31,160
Speaker 2: and like I said, it creates a condition of almost

2824
02:36:31,160 --> 02:36:33,640
Speaker 2: euphoria when someone's got a little bit of bet on

2825
02:36:33,640 --> 02:36:36,920
Speaker 2: the game, and if you win, lose, draw, it's on

2826
02:36:37,000 --> 02:36:40,520
Speaker 2: to the next one. Gambling on football in America is

2827
02:36:40,560 --> 02:36:43,600
Speaker 2: as American as apple pie and Toyota, and it ain't

2828
02:36:43,720 --> 02:36:48,720
Speaker 2: going away any time soon. So in six hours and

2829
02:36:48,800 --> 02:36:52,320
Speaker 2: six minutes or seven hours and six minutes when Week

2830
02:36:52,400 --> 02:36:54,600
Speaker 2: seventeen resumes, we know you have a few bets on

2831
02:36:54,640 --> 02:36:56,840
Speaker 2: the game, and I will too. It's gonna do it

2832
02:36:56,840 --> 02:36:58,600
Speaker 2: for the Bernie Fraderick Show. I will be back on

2833
02:36:58,760 --> 02:37:01,880
Speaker 2: these airwaves tonight for Ben Maller with all kinds of

2834
02:37:01,920 --> 02:37:04,080
Speaker 2: high jinks to talk about. So you better listen or

2835
02:37:04,120 --> 02:37:05,600
Speaker 2: you're in line for a front of a botomy. In

2836
02:37:05,600 --> 02:37:08,000
Speaker 2: the meantime, keep it locked. I'm next the Great Andy

2837
02:37:08,040 --> 02:37:09,560
Speaker 2: Furman on Fox Sports Radio.
