If he's the GM, if 9 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 2: he's Brandon Bean sitting up there in the cold weather 10 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 2: of Buffalo where there was a wind, just just a smitch, 11 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 2: just a bit of wind, what do you want us 12 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 2: team to go for two or kick the extra points. 13 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 3: I'm really glad we have the Weather channel on right 14 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 3: now so we can see the weather in Buffalo and 15 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 3: what you wanted Michael Badgeley to do. 16 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 2: Yesterday there was a picture on the shores of Lake 17 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 2: Erie of Buffalo where it looked like there were ninety 18 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,959 Speaker 2: mile pro hour winds. Trees were at a ninety degree angle. 19 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 4: Bees were flown over the well. 20 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 2: Jason Stuart agrees with me. Social media agreed with Manzi 21 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 2: in that the bills were right and going for two. 22 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 2: I said they should have tried the extra point to 23 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 2: tie it. Jason agrees, and then when I asked Big 24 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 2: Mike at Fox Sports Radio, he said he didn't care. 25 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 4: Right, so the thank you. 26 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's where we are on this. Chrispurhat, are you 27 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 2: kick the extra point or go for two? Sort of 28 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 2: guy in that situation last night. 29 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 5: I think overtime it is an abomination in the eyes 30 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 5: of God himself. So yes, anything to avoid overtime, I 31 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 5: am good with that. I think that ball is slick. 32 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 5: And I also have some history with Michael Badgeley seeing 33 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 5: him kick in Detroit in the past. I don't think 34 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 5: I would trust his leg even if it was bone dry. 35 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 2: I mean again again, the OJ number does not bode 36 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 2: well for him, Like Karma's not going to be on 37 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 2: your side, Isaac, go for two, kick the extra point. 38 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 6: I would have gone for two. One other reason is 39 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 6: because the previous extra point, maybe it was a little low, 40 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 6: but it was blocked. 41 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 7: The Eagles have. 42 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 6: Had a tradition this year in a history of blocking 43 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 6: kicks place kicks in clutch situations well earlier this season 44 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 6: against the Rams, and had the Eagles gone on to 45 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 6: win the game in overtime, everybody today would have been shouting. 46 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: You are josh Alin in a play to win the game? 47 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: Why didn't you go for two? 48 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 4: Thank you? Isaac Loan Crime. 49 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm shouting you lost because you went for two. 50 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 3: Sure, yeah no, but the play was there. The play 51 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 3: was there, and it's it's just I don't disagree with 52 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 3: the call. 53 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 8: That's that's what it is. 54 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 4: We're here discussing it because you disagreed. 55 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 2: I completely disagree, and I. 56 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 3: Hated Red Sox Fan agreed with me. Dan all right, 57 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 3: Red Sox Fan three zero four. 58 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 2: Thank you. Josh Allen was mad. He's throwing his he's 59 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 2: throwing his tablet, he's throwing his helmet, everything that came 60 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 2: with it.

Montsey pointed this out 69 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 2: earlier in the show A Weird Monday. It's our last 70 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 2: love and hate for twenty twenty five? 71 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: What did you love? 72 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 9: God? I love you? 73 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: And what did you hate? 74 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 2: Meet these player Hays Jason Stewart, this is your brainchild, 75 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 2: will let you start it out? 76 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 7: Oh wow, do I have a doozy for you? So 77 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 7: remember earlier in the season, I said that the Aaron 78 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 7: Glenn story with the Jets is becoming my favorite story. 79 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 7: It's officially my favorite story of the season. And this 80 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 7: is my favorite stat maybe of all time, that the 81 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 7: Jests have yet to get an interception in seventeen weeks 82 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 7: sixteen games. The other quarterbacks are thirty four touchdowns, zero interceptions. 83 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 7: And it wouldn't be that funny if Aaron Glenn was 84 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 7: hired from the Lions as their defensive coordinator. He's a 85 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 7: defensive head coach and he might be the only head 86 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 7: coach to oversee a team having zero interceptions and a season. 87 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 7: I'm rooting for that this season. And also side note 88 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 7: earlier this year and this time slot Dan and Doug 89 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 7: disagreed with me when I said, I think Aaron Glenn's 90 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 7: handling of the press conferences and being combative with reporters 91 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 7: is going to expedite his exit. If not this season 92 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 7: and right after this season, Dan said no, I think 93 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 7: he comes back next year. I think Woody Johnson gave 94 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 7: him a vote of confidence. This is Aaron Glenn's answer 95 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 7: when he summed up his team effort yesterday after the game. 96 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 10: I always talk about how we come out when we 97 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 10: played with effort. Today was probably the one time I 98 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 10: feel like our effort wasn't that's good I would want 99 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 10: to be. And that's just me not bsing you guys, 100 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 10: just being on this. I didn't think the effort was 101 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 10: where it need to be. 102 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 7: And then this morning he wakes up and he had 103 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 7: a rethinking for reporters about the effort yesterday. 104 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 10: Effort was not the issue with that game, I thought, 105 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 10: I guys, I thought they played all the way to 106 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 10: the very end. 107 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 7: So Dan, I want to give you one last chance 108 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 7: before the season ends. Should Aaron Glenn keep his job 109 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 7: for next season? 110 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 2: I got my hate for the week. Yeah. 111 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 4: Is his name Jason? 112 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 2: My hate is Jason Stewart. That's really tough. I I 113 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 2: thought there was no way that Aaron Glenn could lose. 114 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 8: His job, right, I understand that I thought that. 115 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 2: This season was the throwaway and yesterday did not help. 116 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 2: And then changing, So to answer your point, Aaron Glenn 117 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 2: first of all said it was the effort. Well, the 118 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 2: effort is on the head coach. 119 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 5: Right. 120 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 2: Then when you come back and say it wasn't the 121 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 2: effort that the guys try hard, that they tried their best, 122 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 2: then you're like, all right, we're thirty nine points worse 123 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 2: than the New England Patriots. Like that's that's what you're 124 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 2: That's what you're essentially saying if you're Aaron Glenn, and 125 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 2: that is also not a good look. 126 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, you're a defensive coordinator. 127 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 2: It was like my guy, yeah, yeah, and sorry, thirty 128 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 2: two points. It ended forty two to ten. It was forty. 129 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 4: Two to three in there. 130 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 2: That's right the touchdown run. I will, Jason, to answer 131 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 2: your question. I will say, gosh, I'm really wavering. I 132 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 2: thought today that Aaron Glenn probably would lose his job, 133 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 2: and now you put me on the spot. So I'm 134 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 2: saying he's gonna stay, He'll be back for year two, 135 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 2: just because of how you who took the bus. Doug 136 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 2: Gottlieb's not here anymore too, he's out coaching basketball. So 137 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 2: I am the lone one under the bus right now, 138 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 2: getting backed up with that semi. 139 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 4: It's true, it is true. 140 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 2: Don't worry. Jason may get his later on in the second. 141 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 2: Chris Purfat, what'd you love from the weekend? 142 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 7: Oh? 143 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 11: Boy? 144 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 5: I have a lot more hate in me than love, 145 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 5: So this might be a little bit of a trick. 146 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 5: I'm going to get outside of footballs for a second. 147 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 5: I'm saving all of that for the hate side, all right. 148 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 5: Besides the fact that I love that the cheese grater 149 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 5: is like now a traveling thing to any team that 150 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 5: plays the Green Bay Packers, a proud tradition and other 151 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 5: teams in the NFC and worth I love seeing that. 152 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 5: But I gotta I gotta give this to a team 153 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 5: that I've always been very hard on, the Athletics over 154 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 5: the weekend.

They beat the Lakers, but the Lakers were depleted. 192 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 3: But that was the first of this four game winning streak. 193 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 4: They look a lot better. 194 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 3: Derek Jones's back, and I really did not expect. 195 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 4: To have. 196 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 3: A good little moment as a Clippers fan because of 197 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 3: how the season started.

What you love from the Weekend? 224 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 6: I love this quote by Philip Rivers. It came after 225 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 6: his Indianapolis Colts lost a technically meaningless game to the 226 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 6: Jacksonville Jaguars. 227 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 11: That's the thought of meaningless games, which I know that 228 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 11: gets thrown around, and it is in the sense of 229 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 11: it doesn't affect the postseason. There's no impact on the postseason. 230 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 11: But to say a game is meaningless is not in 231 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 11: my DNA, and I don't think it's into these guys. 232 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 11: Obviously what you saw today from an effort standpoint, because 233 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 11: those games we played in the backyard when we were 234 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 11: ten years old weren't meaningless, right, Nobody gave a rip 235 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 11: about those but you went home crying or you went 236 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 11: home happy. 237 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 6: I think it's been so much fun to watch Philip 238 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 6: Rivers play over these last three weeks, regardless of results 239 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 6: and regardless of stats. And I actually have a theory 240 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 6: I'd like to run by you guys. I think that 241 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 6: over the last three weeks, Philip Rivers coming back has 242 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 6: earned him Hall of Fame votes down the road that 243 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 6: he might not have gotten initially for perhaps a first 244 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 6: ballot Hall of Fame induction in his first year of eligibility. 245 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 6: That's my theory that he has just added to his 246 00:11:55,040 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 6: legend and garnered some extra Hall of Fame votes what 247 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 6: he's done coming back over the last three weeks. 248 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 2: I agree wholeheartedly. I think that is going to be 249 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 2: one of the benefits. And his point about meaningless games 250 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 2: is he actually added value to games that maybe we 251 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 2: wouldn't have cared about or cared about from the Colt side. Now, 252 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 2: the Colts have had a juggernaut of opponents with the Seahawks, 253 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 2: forty nine Ers, and Jaguars here in these three weeks here, 254 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 2: but he made it interesting and gave you a reason 255 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 2: to root for the Colts or to be interested in 256 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 2: the game that they were playing. On their side, of 257 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 2: things despite not being in the playoff picture. So his 258 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 2: point on the meaningless games was a bullseye. 259 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 3: That cold season went down so fast right like they 260 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 3: were in such a high and it completely fell off 261 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 3: the cliff in the blink of an eye. And bringing 262 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 3: in Philip Rivers brought the fan base together again to 263 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 3: like at least end on a positive note. 264 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, masked some of uh huh, some of Yeah the 265 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 2: stink yep I just love my cousin came into town. 266 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 2: Everybody here got to meet him, went to the Chargers 267 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 2: game on Saturday. He had something that he had been 268 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 2: looking forward to for a long time, and we had 269 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 2: a great time. It was the first time I'd been 270 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 2: at so far for an NFL game, and so that 271 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 2: was unique because usually I'm here on Sundays and haven't 272 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 2: gone to any of the primetime games. But we're able 273 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 2: to do it on a Saturday afternoon, a glorious Saturday afternoon, 274 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 2: with two teams with uh much more than just making 275 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 2: it to the playoff aspirations, playing a football game that 276 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 2: wasn't back and forth, but it was just a really 277 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 2: good and it wasn't even a high level game because 278 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,719 Speaker 2: I don't think the Chargers played their best, but they 279 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 2: had opportunities. It was dramatic, It was a lot of fun. 280 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 2: And I got to ride to the game with Jason Stewarts, 281 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 2: so yes, we had a good time. 282 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 7: Well that's my hate, Can I can I just take 283 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 7: the hate. 284 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 8: Let I have part of this with you, So let 285 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 8: it out for both of us. 286 00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 7: Okay, So, being at the stadium to watch your team 287 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 7: get punched in the face, you feel for the fans 288 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 7: like you don't even take this into consideration, where you're 289 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 7: just watching these games on TV, right, Like just sitting 290 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 7: there next to my son, who's the biggest Chargers fan, 291 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 7: I know, just giving up those two bombs for fourteen 292 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 7: to nothing, and the Chargers weren't moving the ball. You're like, 293 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 7: people paid really good money, they spent a Saturday trying 294 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 7: to get into this stadium, They're gonna spend hours getting out, 295 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 7: ye and they're just sitting there in the first five 296 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 7: minutes of this game feeling like crap. That was my hate. 297 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 7: I hated that feeling. 298 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 2: We had seats where Jayden Higgins scored his touchdown. Oh fun, 299 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 2: and so like you see this Stroud pass just going 300 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 2: AND's like Wally's it's gonna score as long as as 301 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 2: long as it's someone on point. And I felt like 302 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 2: the ball was up in the air for about twenty seconds, 303 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 2: but off and running in the Texans never looked back. 304 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 3: Such an emotional game. That Chargers game was everything the 305 00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 3: Chargers are. They give you hope, Yeah, take it away. 306 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 4: That's been a Chargers fan? 307 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 2: What did you hate from the sweet That's. 308 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 11: Part of it. 309 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 3: But I will say can I I did hate that, 310 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 3: but I don't want to double up on that. I 311 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 3: actually I agree with a lot of what Isaac said. 312 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 3: So I hated that the Colts couldn't get a win 313 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 3: at home with Philip Rivers to kind of wrap up 314 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 3: the season. And they were so there, Like the Jaguars 315 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 3: didn't play out of their mind like we've seen. 316 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 4: The Colts were in it and I was rooting for them. 317 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 3: It was like, there's no way Philip Rivers doesn't win 318 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 3: one game, right, There's no way he comes back there. 319 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 8: He's gonna win one, win it at home. 320 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 3: And at least wrap up the season for the Colts 321 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 3: in a much lighter way because they're headed to Houston 322 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 3: that's not gonna be pretty. I doubt Philip Rivers plays 323 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 3: that game against Houston. He's fighting, you know, they you 324 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 3: but in the young guy in there, he's gonna. 325 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 4: Handle this a lot better than me. 326 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 3: So I just I hated that Philip Rivers couldn't get 327 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 3: a win, and the last one at home for the Colts, 328 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 3: because what a year they had, just unfair. 329 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 6: By the way, before that game, they had a local 330 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 6: youth choir or of about one hundred kids sing the 331 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 6: national anthem, and somebody on social media posted a picture 332 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 6: of them and said, hey, look, Philip Rivers kids are 333 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 6: getting them. 334 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 2: Very funny. He had his high school team that right, 335 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 2: he did? 336 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 4: He did that? 337 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 2: Was I did see that.

Houston has 347 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 6: a third down and nine at its forty six yard line. 348 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 6: If the Chargers got to stop there, they get the 349 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 6: ball back. C. J. Stroud is sacked by a Dafe 350 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 6: oh Way and day on. However, there's a penalty on 351 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 6: the Chargers for illegal contact. What I hated was that 352 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 6: it was a dubious flag to be thrown in that situation. 353 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 6: Could you make the argument that by the letter of 354 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 6: the law it's illegal contact, Yes, but I feel that 355 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 6: the receiver also initiated the contact at the same time 356 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 6: as the Chargers defensive back. And I feel in that situation, 357 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 6: if you're gonna make a game decide and call, you 358 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 6: want it to be obvious. You want it to be 359 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 6: a whale and not a minno. If I can put 360 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 6: it that way, and if I have to rewind it 361 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 6: six hundred times. 362 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 4: To slow it down and see it to see that. 363 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 6: It's a penalty, it's just not the flag you throw 364 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 6: in that situation. 365 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 7: Pick up the flag. Pick up the flag. Have some 366 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 7: awareness of what the game situation is. Don't take away 367 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 7: from the excite. Again, You're in the stadium, everyone's going 368 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 7: nuts about this sack, and then there's a flag with 369 00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 7: that non consequential flag It's like, what a doubt, right. 370 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 3: It's like, if you would have made this call in 371 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 3: the first quarter, we're not having this discussion. 372 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 8: But what that's when you make this call, and that's 373 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 8: really what upset me. 374 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 4: But Isaac just expressed it so eloquently. 375 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 2: We did. I'll tell you what I hated from the 376 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 2: Texans Chargers game, because that's what we're focusing on here, 377 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 2: the Texans coming to Los Angeles and the Chargers saying, yeah, 378 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 2: we'll wear our Supercharger Navy uniforms. So it's Navy on Navy, Like, 379 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,439 Speaker 2: what do you like of all the teams that you 380 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 2: could pick to use against thee all the uniform combinations 381 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 2: or the different teams that came in. This is the 382 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 2: third time that they've worn those uniforms. I wanted to 383 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 2: see some some baby blue, wanted to see some of 384 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 2: the mustard, and instead what I we got the what 385 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 2: I call the Leslie O'Neill era Chargers. Yes, yes, sorry, no, 386 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 2: that's okay. Chris Perfett just has to quick tell us 387 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 2: what he hated from Charges Texans. 388 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 5: No, well, not from Charges tex Well, we all four 389 00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 5: of up.

I hate every last bit of it. 394 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 5: And I hate USC acting like this is somehow Notre 395 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 5: Dame's fault. Lincoln Riley's been playing playing foot seas about 396 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 5: dropping this rivalry for years. It sucks.

I've listened to Petros, Papa Dakes, 398 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 5: I've listened to guys close to this rivalry. The only 399 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 5: people in favor of this rivalry going away are short 400 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 5: sighted believing that USC will pick this up somehow in 401 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 5: the Big ten.

Tom Telesco, Welcome back 425 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 2: to Fox Sports Radio. Do you know what this question 426 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 2: is going to be? 427 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:45,719 Speaker 9: I have no idea. I know I wouldn't think. 428 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 2: Okay either. That's that's all right, don't worry. Last night 429 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 2: Bill's down one. Sean McDermott decides to go for two. 430 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 2: As a former GM, you're Brandon Bean sitting up there 431 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 2: watching how the second half has unfolded. Do you agree 432 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,959 Speaker 2: or disagree with Sean McDermott's decision. 433 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 9: I agreed with the decision. I don't know where that's 434 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 9: going to come out there here we go, I do. 435 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 9: I just think, look, you've got one play from a 436 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 9: two yard line to win the game. Rather than number 437 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 9: one you kick the extra point, which at that point, 438 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 9: with that weather and then Michael Badgley has been a 439 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 9: little bit shaky. You know, that's not a guaranteed kick. 440 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 9: But even if he makes the kick, you know you 441 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 9: go to overtime. You still have to get stops, at 442 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 9: least one stop in overtime, whether it's the initial kickoff 443 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 9: or after you score, and you got to drive the score. 444 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 9: So I just think taking that, taking one play from 445 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 9: the two yard line with Josh Allen, who you know, 446 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 9: if not, he's one of the best resident quarterbacks in 447 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 9: the league. I'll take that every day of the week. 448 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 9: They had the right play baled up. He just missed him. 449 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 9: He doesn't miss him very often, but he missed him. 450 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 9: But I like to call, and. 451 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 2: That's all the time we have for Tom to latch. 452 00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 2: Just kidding four two, Jason Stewart and I are outvoted 453 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 2: here on Fox Sports Radio. 454 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 3: Thank you Tom, because now Dan owes me something Starbucks. 455 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 3: I don't know what it is, but he owes me something. 456 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 2: There you go. 457 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 4: Let's move on. 458 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 3: This DK Metcalf situation seems messier and messier every single day. 459 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,479 Speaker 3: Jay Glaser comes out and says that there was some 460 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 3: sort of history with this fan prior to this game. 461 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 3: But then we also saw earlier in the year Lamar 462 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 3: Jackson having another incident with the fan when they were 463 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 3: playing the Bills. Did the NFL handle this well with 464 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 3: dk Metcalf suspending him twice obviously putting his hands on 465 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 3: a fan never? 466 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 5: Never? 467 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 4: Okay? 468 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,239 Speaker 9: Yeah, And that's the issue right there, And it's just 469 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 9: how the player handled it, even though I'm sure it's challenging. 470 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 9: But like every NFL sideline, every team has at least 471 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 9: one and usually more than one, somewhat insecurity, whether it's 472 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 9: your director security, whether it's the system director security. They're 473 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 9: on your sidelines. And then there's NFL security that's on 474 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 9: the field during the game. So what the players don't 475 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,040 Speaker 9: have to be just reminded of is if you do 476 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 9: you see a fan as acting like that, point them 477 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 9: out to either your director's security or the NFL security director. 478 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 9: Let them handle it. The last thing you can do, 479 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 9: because you'll never win, is go up to the fan 480 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 9: and start engaging with them. Football is an emotional game, 481 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,479 Speaker 9: you dk metcalf is playing an emotional game, and right 482 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 9: in the middle of the game, can you imagine just 483 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 9: dealing with the fans. So that's why you have people 484 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 9: down there to help you that situation. I don't know 485 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 9: all the specifics behind it, but I just wish he 486 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 9: would have went to his club or the NFL that say, look, 487 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 9: just take care of that fan right there, and then 488 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 9: you never had that situation happen. 489 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 2: Tom zelasco joining us here on Fox Sports Radio, former 490 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 2: GM of the Chargers and Raiders. She's Mancy Belanios. I'm 491 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 2: Dan Beyer. I'm sure John Lynch is doing a little 492 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 2: peacocking considering how good that Brock Purty has been playing 493 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 2: as of late, second straight touchdown set, the second straight 494 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 2: game with five touchdowns. Have you seen a different Brock 495 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 2: party when he's obviously been healthy this season. Now that 496 00:23:55,359 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 2: the contract stuff is in the rearview mirror, you. 497 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 9: Know he's played like this at other times his career. 498 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,120 Speaker 9: So it's not a surprise. It just seems like it's 499 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 9: happened with other players too, and it's just as unfortunate. 500 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 9: But it tends to happen. Is wherever you get drafted, 501 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 9: you just kind of get labeled from where that draft was, 502 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 9: and especially players that get drafted late, you know, rather 503 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 9: than letting your play dictate. Once your career starts and 504 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 9: start playing, well, you know what that kind of dictate 505 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 9: you know what the narrative is around you. And I 506 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 9: think people just have this perception that always that he's 507 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 9: a seventh rong draft pick and he shouldn't be good, 508 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 9: but he is outstanding. And I know, going back, I 509 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 9: guess there's be a couple of years ago when I 510 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 9: was with the with the Raiders, we sat down with 511 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 9: their scouts and just we did a deep dive on 512 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 9: Rock Purty. Not not that we're going to try and 513 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 9: acquire him at the time he was with San Francisco, 514 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 9: but more like, hey, look we were in the draft 515 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 9: and looking at quarterbacks. They're not all going to be 516 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 9: justin Herbert or Andrew luck where they're a big, strong, 517 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 9: physical rocket arm. There's there's other factors that go into 518 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 9: play in the position to play at a high level. 519 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,360 Speaker 9: And we watched a lot of Rock Purty and there 520 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 9: were throws all over the tape of just anticipation, ball placement, accuracy. 521 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 9: His arm strength is plenty good enough. You know, it's 522 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 9: not a rocket, but it's plenty good enough. And he's 523 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 9: a good athlete and he can move around, so all 524 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 9: those factors have been there. Last year, they had so 525 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 9: many injuries on the offense. I think it's hard for 526 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 9: him to really get going, and he had some injuries himself. 527 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 9: But what you're seeing last night is what he can 528 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 9: do and he's really not a standing player. 529 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 8: Is Todd Bowles in the hot seat? 530 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 2: Boy? 531 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 9: I wouldn't think so. I just think, you know, people 532 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 9: are so quick to uh, I guess, to put people 533 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 9: in the hot seat. But no, he's an outstanding head 534 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 9: coach and he's proven that year after year, and he's 535 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 9: a really good defensive mind. So what's going on there 536 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 9: right now? I don't understand it, because there's they're just 537 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 9: not playing the way that they're capable and usually how 538 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,360 Speaker 9: they play and sometimes thinks snowball and not every year 539 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 9: is going to be a great year. But I just 540 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 9: think he's a good coach. They have a really good 541 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 9: staff there. I don't I can't put my finger on 542 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 9: exactly what the issue is. I know that was a 543 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 9: tough loss, but they're still in it. But now I 544 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:01,959 Speaker 9: don't see that at all. I think he's a really good, 545 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 9: really good head coach in this league. 546 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 2: Tom Dalaska joining us here on Fox Sports Radio kind 547 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 2: of along those lines, how would you evaluate Aaron Glenn 548 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 2: and the Jets, especially after yesterday's de moralizing loss to 549 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 2: the Patriots and his future with the team. 550 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 9: Yeah, those are difficult because when you hire a head coach, 551 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 9: you have to be thinking more than one year. There's 552 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 9: a big transition that that goes on, and he's still 553 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 9: he's not you know, he's learning to be a head 554 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 9: coach on the run, which you know, which it happens 555 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 9: when your first time I coach. Obviously, some things you 556 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 9: have to learn on the run. But the last month 557 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 9: or so, it's just been they haven't been competitive, So 558 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,439 Speaker 9: it's it's tough to sit through for a front offeras 559 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 9: or ownership. I know that, but you know, you put 560 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 9: a plan together. There's the reason why you hired him 561 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 9: as a head coach. Obviously, they made some changes in 562 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,120 Speaker 9: personnel throughout the year that weakened them for the short term. 563 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 9: Hopefully he was strengthened him for the long term. But 564 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,719 Speaker 9: but you know, they sent some pretty good players out 565 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 9: the door, and look, they weren't playing with the quarterback 566 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,360 Speaker 9: yesterday and haven't played with the quarterbacks for a couple 567 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 9: of weeks and really for the year. So it's hard 568 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 9: to put, you know, a really competitive product on the 569 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 9: field when you send out some really good defensive players 570 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 9: and you haven't said a lot a quarterback yet. So 571 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 9: you have to stick with the plan as hard. 572 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 4: As it is. 573 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 9: You just can't wait for the season to be over 574 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,479 Speaker 9: so you can start working on next year. And that's 575 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 9: what we're both get working on real soon. And they 576 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 9: have a lot of draft picks. I assume they should 577 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 9: have some cap space with the players they sent out 578 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 9: and we get moving next year. But they have to 579 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 9: show some market improvement next year. 580 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 4: Who is your coach of the year? 581 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 9: You know, there's so many of this. Yeah, I know, 582 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 9: I'm I guess I'm part of the media now, but 583 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 9: I'm not really big on you know, ranking them. But 584 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 9: there's there's so many between Graybull and Cohen and Ben 585 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 9: Johnson and Mike McDonald, Kyle shanahanam you wanted last night? 586 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 9: With what they did and with with what they're dealing with. 587 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 9: I mean, all of these guys could be a coach 588 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 9: of the year. Sean Payton, I know that he could be, 589 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 9: like not only as a head, as a coach of 590 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 9: the year, but just team building, working with George Peyton, 591 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 9: what they've what they've done in Denver the last couple 592 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 9: of years, and honestly, even Dave Kanals in Carolina with 593 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 9: what they've done, I thought Carolina was still a couple 594 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 9: of years away from competing with their roster and they've 595 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,640 Speaker 9: done the outstanding job. So I mean, I'd say there's 596 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 9: you know, six or seven you can make a case 597 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 9: for which is great in the NS League. But you know, 598 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 9: there's always that recency bias. And he watched San Francisco 599 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 9: last night. It's hard to say that Kylie Shanahan shouldn't 600 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 9: be it shouldn't be the coach of the year. 601 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 2: See, we aren't always trying to fire head coaches. We're 602 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 2: also trying to lift them up right, and look at 603 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 2: you got the coach of the Year. Tom we appreciate 604 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 2: the time, Happy New Year, best of luck in twenty 605 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 2: twenty six, and can't wait to talk to you again. 606 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 2: Appreciate it sounds good. 607 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 1: Thank you. 608 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 9: Happy New Year to both of you. 609 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:36,679 Speaker 4: Thank you. 610 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 2: Sesame Street helped raise all of us.

Isaac long Crown's been 620 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 2: with us, as is Jason Stewart and Chris Purfett. You 621 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 2: may have heard Isaac mention some news about USC and 622 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 2: Notre Dame and Lincoln Riley responding to why they aren't 623 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 2: going to continue their rivalry with the Fighting Hours. But 624 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 2: there was other news involving Notre Dame and that's Marcus 625 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 2: Freeman is going to be back with the Fighting Irish 626 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 2: tweeting today I see you in twenty twenty six. I'm paraphrasing, 627 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 2: but Diana Rassini was on with the Herd earlier today. 628 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 2: Now they were talking NFL, talking New York Giants, but 629 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 2: Marcus Freeman's name came up because Freeman is going to 630 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 2: be staying in South Bend. This was part of that conversation. 631 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 12: The New York Giants were not the only team who 632 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 12: were interested in Marcus Freeman. There were at least four 633 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 12: other teams I know poking around on Marcus Freeman. And 634 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 12: when I say poking around, because some of those teams 635 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 12: have a coach currently in place right which makes sense 636 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 12: because there's only two available head coaching jobs right now 637 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 12: on the table, that being the New York Giants and 638 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 12: the Tennessee Titans, who you know, both organizations definitely had 639 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 12: plans of bringing Marcus Freeman in. 640 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 2: So and that's what kind of stood out to me 641 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 2: is when she used the number four right away at 642 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 2: my ears, kind of you know, I figure out the four, yeah, 643 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 2: and who would be looking and who would be considering it. Also, Mancie, 644 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 2: I think that there's more to the Marcus Freeman situation. 645 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 2: And I know this this may change things, but the Giants. 646 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 2: Maybe Arnest committed to Jackson Dart as we thought, you 647 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 2: never know who's going to come in and be the 648 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 2: next head coach in that scenario. But I also think 649 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 2: that Marcus Freeman maybe looked at New York, the Giants situation, 650 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 2: and actually the Jets situation plays into it as well, 651 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 2: looked at the Tennessee situations that okay, that one's open, 652 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 2: and maybe he heard from through the behind the scenes 653 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 2: on what teams with coaches were looking. But it tells 654 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 2: me that he looked at Tennessee and he looked at 655 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 2: the Giants and said, I'm good, like I don't need 656 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 2: to be a part of that something that like is 657 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 2: it can't miss sort of deal. So you know what 658 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 2: that says to me, I'm wondering about the future of 659 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 2: cam Warden. I'm wondering about the future of Jackson Dart 660 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 2: in New York because Marcus Freeman says, I'd rather just 661 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:12,959 Speaker 2: stay in college. 662 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, but I don't blame Marcus Freeman at all. 663 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 3: You kind of have unfinished business at Notre Dame and 664 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 3: you should go back. Maybe it's not even it's not 665 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 3: even just that Dan, right, it's beyond the situation that 666 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 3: you can see right now in the NFL with each team, 667 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 3: it's the incoming class of quarterbacks. Like what is who 668 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 3: is the selling point here? Is it location? Is it 669 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 3: a player or is it this? It doesn't sell like 670 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 3: anything is selling, might as well stick where you are, 671 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 3: which is I feel like refreshing to hear that Marcus 672 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 3: Freeman was like, no, I'm just gonna you know, there's nothing. 673 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 4: I haven't finished business over here, Like I'm gonna finish 674 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 4: this out. 675 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 8: It's not like next year people aren't going to be 676 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 8: interested in Marcus Freeman. 677 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 2: It's also refreshing to hear a restructured contract. 678 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 8: Sure, because that was the only that's yeah, yeah. 679 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 2: It's not like he's you know what, We're good. We 680 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 2: don't have to change any of the numbers. But I'm 681 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 2: happy here. That could have been an option, but it wasn't. 682 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 2: I think it also just gives you the state of 683 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 2: the NFL. And the reason I bring the Jets into 684 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 2: this is because Jason thinks that Aaron Glenn should be gone. 685 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 2: I am admitting that there's a lot of evidence in 686 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 2: considering what happened yesterday and maybe why they do have 687 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 2: to make a change even after only one year, even 688 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 2: after Glenn was brought in to change the culture. But 689 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,479 Speaker 2: that's the reason why, because I think that's what Marcus 690 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 2: Freeman does. Marcus Freeman comes into a place not as 691 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 2: the hot offensive coordinator, not coming in as the defense 692 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 2: that's a top five NFL defense or one that's going 693 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,479 Speaker 2: to just give quarterbacks fits around the NFL. Marcus Freeman 694 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 2: is going to go in with a culture and that's 695 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 2: what Aaron Glenn tried to do. And it may not 696 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 2: even give him a full season. So if you're going 697 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 2: into the NFL and maybe that's one of the jobs 698 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 2: as well, that could have been a possibility for him. 699 00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 2: He finds the situation maybe with whoever the ownership is 700 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 2: of those teams, saying if I'm coming in for culture 701 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 2: and I'm seeing what they're doing with some of these 702 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 2: other head coaches, maybe college is best for me. I 703 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 2: think that probably played a part of it as well. 704 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 3: Absolutely, we've sat here and discussed many different situations with 705 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 3: different coaches where it's not or players or individuals where 706 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 3: it's not always greener on the other side, and I 707 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 3: think that's what he saw. He's like, why what is 708 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 3: out there that is better than what I have here 709 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 3: where things are working for me. Obviously he's mad about 710 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 3: the situation that they didn't get into the College Football 711 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 3: play Off, but I just think he realizes, like, this 712 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 3: is where I need to be. I have unfinished business. 713 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 3: Let's talk in a couple of years about the NFL again. 714 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Notre Dame didn't go to a bowl game, 715 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 2: so he wasn't at a bull presser like Lincoln Riley 716 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 2: was to talk about the reason why the rivalry is 717 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 2: no longer. Jason Stewart, your thoughts on Marcus Freeman staying 718 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 2: at nd. 719 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 7: Did you guys also get the feeling just by the 720 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 7: word in here or maybe if you just read between 721 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 7: the lines, they're running it back next year. Everything seems 722 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 7: to be at you know, everything seems to be lining 723 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 7: up for next year with Notre Dame, and then we're 724 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 7: going to have the same conversational year from now. Safe 725 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 7: to say, I. 726 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 2: Think we're gonna have the same conversation until he actually 727 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 2: leaves or just gets a deal from Notre Dame that 728 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 2: makes him the highest paid head coach in college football, 729 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 2: or whatever the case may be. But I think that 730 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 2: that I think we are always going to hear his name. 731 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I also think that he thinks like next 732 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 3: year they're are for sure into the playoffs. 733 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,240 Speaker 2: Well they are because of that and any expansion. 734 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:25,439 Speaker 1: Breck. 735 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 3: You got what I'm saying, Like he's why, I'm like, no, not, 736 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 3: you're for sure and might as well try this one 737 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:30,959 Speaker 3: more time. 738 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,399 Speaker 2: Yeah you do? You do lose. Jeremiah Love is gonna 739 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 2: be a top ten pick, maybe even the top five 740 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 2: pick depending on things shakeout. But Notre Dame gets to 741 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 2: keep Marcus Freeman. Not a huge shock.
