1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up,

2
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: straight Fire, fam, It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight Fire. Monday,

3
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: October eleventh. What a weekend in football it was. I

4
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: thought i'd probably open the pod today with the US

5
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: losing to Panama on soccer, and then I was like, oh,

6
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: I didn't see a second of that because I was

7
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: a SOFI stadium watching one of the games of the

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: year in Chargers Browns. But listen, this was a bananas

9
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: weekend from college football where they were like an insane

10
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: amount of crazy finishes and your boy went four and

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: one in his college football picks that were my Fox

12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: Sports column great awesome, and then the fight late Saturday night,

13
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: and listen, I think I've explained this to you guys.

14
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: I'm not one of these big fomo guys. If people

15
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: are like, oh, I'm going out, um, you know, I'm

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: having fun, I'm doing all this, I'm like, I don't

17
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: really care. I'm really happy with myself. But I had

18
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: so many friends who were at the fight that I

19
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: was like, kind of looks like fun, And of course, um,

20
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: Wilder Fury was absolutely crazy. I'm not gonna I can't

21
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: open with the fight, because it's like the ninth most

22
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: interesting thing that happened this weekend. And you know, Spencer Rattler,

23
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: the number one college football player in the Heisman candidacy,

24
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: but potential number one pick before the season. I think

25
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: he got something in the neighborhood of seven hundred thousand

26
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 1: dollars in n I L Money gets benched against Texas.

27
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: His backup comes in and wins the game, and it's like, well,

28
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: what do we do with Spencer Rattler? Now, that's like

29
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: the fifteen most interesting thing that happened this weekend. That's

30
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: how awesome of a sports weekend it was. I don't

31
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: even know if we have a room for baseball playoffs.

32
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: Off talk, guys, I'm sorry, I I don't um. Things

33
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: happened the damn Red Sox wanng on want on to

34
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: walk off? I'm upset at that. Yes, I can say

35
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: that I do not like the Boston Red Sox or

36
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: anything Boston. Um. And then, of course I played in

37
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: the soccer tournament over the weekend. Good news, I didn't

38
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: get injured. Bad news, we didn't win. It sucked we

39
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: did not win the championship. I'm not gonna go into

40
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: that because it's like Dad's stuff. But yeah, I'm kind

41
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: of pissed that a guy who's a notorious in my area,

42
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: who I don't personally know him, I know of him.

43
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: He loves to stack his teams in youth sports. The

44
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: guys are prick, and he goes out and get three ringers,

45
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: three college former college stars. One guy won a national

46
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: title at Akron and he gets him on his team

47
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: and they and they beat us in the game we

48
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: had to win, and we you know, we lose. I mean,

49
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: they were nice guys, but they're like awesome soccer players.

50
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: Frustrating but nevertheless, Um, I don't even know where to

51
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: start with the NFL. ROB and I were discussing it,

52
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: and there's some interesting m v P stuff happening. There

53
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: was the fascinating Brown's Chargers game, which I definitely will

54
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: get into. There was, of course, one of the craziest

55
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: a fourth quarter over times that I've ever seen, and

56
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: I didn't even watch all of it because I was

57
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: at so five for Chargers. Brown's was Pack Bengals, like

58
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: what an insane like ending to that game, and then

59
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: you had, um, you know, Urban Meyer go to Ohen

60
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: five and I don't even know what Urban Meyer makes

61
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: the cut. Kyler Murray may be injured. Like I mean,

62
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: it was just such a crazy day, but I have

63
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: to start in the monsoon weather delayed Bills beat down

64
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: of the Kansas City Chiefs, and folks, you know how

65
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: there's that saying the champs are dead, it's over and

66
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: people are like going to midfield and stomping and all

67
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: that stuff. That's what it kind of felt like last

68
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: night in Narrowhood. I'm not selling the Chiefs fully, but folks,

69
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: they got molly wopped at home, and the Bills sent

70
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: a message. They noted Travis Kelsey out of the game

71
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: with a kill shot to the head. In college football,

72
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: whoever delivered that he would be suspended. That was targeting.

73
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: I mean, hit Coyle Travis Kelsey in the head while

74
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: he's extending to catch a pass. It was the same

75
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: play that if you guys saw Taysom Hill of the Saints,

76
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: he got knocked out of the game and it looked bad,

77
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: worse than Kelsey. Kelsey at least got up and walked off,

78
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: but he was hurting. Kelsey got knocked out. Mikole Hardman

79
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: was alligator arming stuff across the middle. Tyreek Hill was like,

80
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to smoke the Buffalo Bills sent a

81
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: message to the Chiefs last night. It was not pretty

82
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: for Kansas City. And I will fully admit I was

83
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: on the Chiefs. I was a hundred thousand percent wrong.

84
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: We know the defense is bad. And my son, who

85
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: I did go to the Chiefs game within another Dad

86
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,679
Speaker 1: and his kid Um. He was like, Dad, what happened

87
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs? And I tried to explain to him. Listen,

88
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: when you give somebody a quarterback forty fifty million dollars

89
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: a year, you've gotta then take away money from other positions.

90
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: And it appears I don't know about you as if

91
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs basically don't pay any defensive players. The safety

92
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: Sorenson who got lit up like a Christmas tree. It

93
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: was embarrassing. Honey Badger is standing there. You could see

94
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: him on the field. The receiver's so wide open or

95
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: the tight end whoever it was that Honey Badger's got

96
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: his arms extended like what WTF? And Swence is getting torched.

97
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's so bad. I don't know how you

98
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: can start him in their next game. And it was

99
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: just an ass kicking of epic proportions. The Buffalo Bills

100
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: are here to say, Now, I'm all these Bill fans,

101
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: the Bills mafia coming after me on social media, and

102
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: I get it. I've taken shots to Buffalo for probably

103
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: closer to two decades. Since y'all lost Jim Kelly at Thermittomas,

104
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: you haven't been Jack squat And of course arrivals to

105
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: the Jets, I love to make jokes about how you

106
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: guys are the third best team in New York, and well,

107
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: I've got to shelve those for now. Okay, Obviously the

108
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,559
Speaker 1: Bills were great last year. I wondered if Josh Allen

109
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: had a bit of a mirage last year. Clearly he's

110
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: good and the Bills are legit. And I would say

111
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: right now the the three clear best teams in the

112
00:05:53,440 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: a f C are in no order, Bills, Chargers, and Brown's.

113
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna lie because I looked at the schedule,

114
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: and you know we love to look ahead. Here, just

115
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: file it away. The Baltimore Ravens, who are gonna win tonight.

116
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: I'll give you a tease on the best bed Raves

117
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: are gonna win tonight against the Colts, and oh, by

118
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: the way, they had three of the first four on

119
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: the road. The Ravens don't leave Baltimore until November eleven.

120
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: They're probably gonna win three or four straight. They it

121
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: may drop one of those Colts, Chargers, Bengals, Vikings. We'll

122
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: see what happens with the Chargers. And I'm just telling

123
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: you right now, it feels to me like the Chiefs

124
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: have fallen to about the fifth best team in the

125
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: a f C. That's not a hot take. This is reality.

126
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: When the Chargers and Bills can go into Arrowhead and win,

127
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: that's kind of sending a message. It's not like there's

128
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: help coming on the way. You guys know the ship

129
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: and Sharp call where he's on the sideline back in

130
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: the day when he was when he was a player.

131
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: Now he's obviously at FS one and I do see

132
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: mean by the way, Shannon Sharp is absolutely jacked. Um.

133
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: Some of these former athletes like stay in shape, Shannon Sharp,

134
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: stays in shape. Sand A Sharp, in one of the

135
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: all time great trash talk moments, picks up the phone

136
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: and says, we need the National Guard here. We are

137
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: kicking there. But it was it's awesome. I'm sure you

138
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: guys have seen it on YouTube and at this point

139
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: right now, like, I don't know how the Chiefs can

140
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: be confidently in the top four in the a f C.

141
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: I mean, they turned the ball over four times last

142
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: night against the Bills. They turned the ball over I

143
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: think four times against the Chargers. At some point it

144
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: stops being like, oh, they just need to stop the

145
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: turnovers and they're fine. The defense is hot, garbage can't

146
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: stop anyone. And right now the Bills and the Chargers

147
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: are definitely better. I believe the Browns are better. I

148
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: know the record may not show it, but this Brown

149
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: team is good. And I will talk about the Browns

150
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: at a sec. And then I just mentioned the Ravens.

151
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: So I've got the Chiefs right now. And this is

152
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: again I know you're gonna kill me. Oh you're going over.

153
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs will be there, they might end up being there,

154
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: But right now, did the fifth best team in the ANFC.

155
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: That's not a massive slight, Guys, like, how can you

156
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: really out argue that. You know, obviously they're not below

157
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: the Broncos or the Bengals. Bengals are showing fight, hopefully

158
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: Joe Burrows. Okay, but I'm just I'm utterly disappointed in

159
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. I mean they let me down

160
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: at the window, and quickly I'll wrap up with the

161
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: Chiefs on this. Frank Clark, Okay, they're down eleven and

162
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: they've got Buffalo pinned. It's third and forever. Frank Clark,

163
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: who we know, is a certified idiot. And that's not

164
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: a shot of Frank Clark. This is reality. He is

165
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: an idiot. Go look up the lawsuits against the guy.

166
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: Go look up all his off the field troubles. He

167
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: is an idiot. When I say that to his face,

168
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: of course not I can say that here on the podcast.

169
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: Frank Clark's an idiot. I'm sure he's a nice guy

170
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs teammates. He's an idiot. He goes in,

171
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: picks up Josh Allen and basically pile drives him into

172
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: the ground. And again people are all off set it

173
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 1: me on social media. No, that's a bad call. Listen

174
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: to play before that, the holding call on the center.

175
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: More more, how would say his name? That was a

176
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: terrible call. Frank Clark hit Alan and I'm fine with

177
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: the hit. That wasn't the problem. It's after the hit.

178
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: Clark then proceeds to like I'm sending a message to you,

179
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, and like drive down with his shoulder into

180
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: the guy. You can't do that. It's just stupid. They're

181
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: an undisciplined bunch right now. The Chiefs are a bit

182
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: of a hot mess. Guys. It's disappointed to see because

183
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: we were talking about a dynasty and now you're talking

184
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: about um they at home four turnovers, two for five

185
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: in the red zone. I mean, I don't even know

186
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 1: how to explain this Chief's team right now. Rob g Andy.

187
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: Reid's got some major problems. They gave up eight point

188
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: one yards per played with the Bills, and just as

189
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: a news flash, it was like nine point oh yards

190
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: per play for the Bills until like the final five

191
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: minutes the garbage time, when they just ran the football people.

192
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: She's got problems. Oh that's like the enderstatement of the

193
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: century right there, Jason. I mean, we've talked about this

194
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: on the Pot. I think I even said verbatim on

195
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: this podcast that the Chiefs have an issue with playing

196
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: with their food. They like to take things very nonchalant,

197
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: very laxa daisical until it's time to really ratchet it up,

198
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: and then they kind of usually pull away and win.

199
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 1: It's why they're two and nine against the spread in

200
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: their last eleven games. The problem, though, is most of

201
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: these teams now kind of have a blueprint with how

202
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: they want to play, and they talked about it all

203
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 1: night during the NBC broadcast with Chris Collinsworth. They're gonna

204
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: play this too high safety. Look, they're gonna double team

205
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. They're gonna dare Pat Mahomes to Nicol and

206
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: dimons way down the field, which he obviously does not

207
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: want to do, as evidence by the fact that he

208
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: has thrown thirteen interceptions in his last fourteen games. Okay,

209
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: he gets greedy, he wants to push the ball down

210
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: the field, and he makes mistakes. And until this team

211
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: tightens things up, because you can go back to the

212
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: Baltimore game where they had the late fumble with Clyde

213
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: Edwards Hillarire, you can go back to the Charger game

214
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: where I believe they had three turnovers in the first half,

215
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: which we kind of blew that one wide open. Until

216
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: they start to get their act together and start focusing

217
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: on every single game like they do in the postseason,

218
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: because we see that their best is probably still better

219
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: than of the league. This is what's going to keep

220
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: happening to them. I don't know that they've as Patrick

221
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: Mahomes ever had to play a road playoff game. No,

222
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: I don't don't think so. Yeah, because that first year

223
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: he came on the scene, they hosted the Patriots, right

224
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: and the Champions. That was where Belichick gave the blueprint,

225
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: like here's how you shut down Tyreek kill everybody, and

226
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: people have tried to copy it. It's difficult, but the

227
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: Bills did. Um, all right, let's go to the other really,

228
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: really really good team in the a f C, and

229
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: that's the l A Chargers. I mean, I don't know

230
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: about you guys, but for my money, Charges Browns was

231
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: the game of the year. In the fourth quarter, there

232
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: were forty one point scored. It was insane. I've never

233
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: seen anything like that was First of all, it was

234
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: a great game. But in this again, you guys know,

235
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 1: I played pick up basketball with somebody who's close to

236
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, and um, I'm rooting for Baker. I thought

237
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: he would have a good year. I advised people to

238
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: pick him up in fantasy. I picked him up in fantasy,

239
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: my son did. I picked the Browns in the playoffs.

240
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: I have Brown's futures to win the Super Bowl. I

241
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: really like the cut of this team's jip. It is

242
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: very clear right now Kevin Stefanski does not fully trust

243
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. We saw it in the playoff game against

244
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: Kansas City. I didn't want to throw it down the

245
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: field late. You'd rather punt and hope his defense would

246
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: bail him out. They could not. Brown's lose. We saw

247
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: it again against the Charges, and I saw it up close.

248
00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: I Stefanski was throwing almost a perfect offensive game. Unbelievable. Okay,

249
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: here are their drives in the first half, field goal, touchdown.

250
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: They end up failing on fourth down in the red zone.

251
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: The staying aggressive touchdown field goal opened the third quarter touchdown.

252
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 1: Finally the Charger stopped him a couple of times. Then

253
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: you get the fourth quarter touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, and you're like,

254
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, it's the most pivotal drive of the series.

255
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: The Chargers had just missed an extra point. The Browns

256
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: are leading by one. You get a couple, you got

257
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 1: like one or two first downs, it's over. On first

258
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: down they run Kareem Hunt for one yard. Chargers time

259
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: out second down, and this was the play that kind

260
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: of hurt Baker a little behind Higgins. Let's given the

261
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: whistles that in the Brown Chargers game you maybe could

262
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: have called thrown a flag on pass interference, but the

263
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: throw wasn't that accurate, so there was no flights. So

264
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: now you're faced with third and nine, two fifty five

265
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 1: to go, stop clock because of the incompletion. So you've

266
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: got options here. If you're Stefanski, who has been aggressive

267
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: a f all season, you're an analytics guy. You stay aggressive,

268
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: you win. You don't punt. You punt to lose third

269
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: and nine. He runs a draw play to Kareem Hunt,

270
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: and I'm sitting there with Browns fans by buddy of mine,

271
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: Brown's fan from Ohio with his son came up. He

272
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: sees the handoff and he's like a draw. I mean,

273
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: it's waving the white flag. You've got Odell Beckham, You've

274
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: got Higgins. You've got a tight end in Joeku who

275
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: they could not cover all game long. You have explosive

276
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: passes out the ass all day. Baker was good. He

277
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: havevers nine point five yards per tempt, three d fifty

278
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: yards passing two tuddies, folks. I could not believe that

279
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: he called the draw to kareem hunt. They picked up

280
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: three yards. You punt, I'll let you know what the

281
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: Chargers did. Take a guess um, and the Chargers win

282
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: the game. I'm absolutely stunned. And and Stefanski I haven't

283
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: read what he said yet in response, because you know,

284
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: I get home from the game, I gotta catch up

285
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: on all the games that I missed. I do this

286
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: really nerdy thing where I look at every single box score,

287
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: read every recap um in case I missed an injury

288
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: or something. It helps me prepare. And by the way,

289
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: the Chargers even tried to play it perfectly. After the

290
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: punt on Cremont, Eckler slides down at the one. The

291
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: Browns are like, oh, we should let him score. Eckler

292
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: slides down inbounds at the one. It's just genius. It's

293
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: like this guy smart. And then Staley makes his one

294
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: mistake instead of just taking a knee with Herbert taking

295
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: knee tak knee lineup field goal. They hand off the

296
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: Heckler who wants to stop, and the Browns defensive players

297
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: rob I've never seen anything like this. They essentially pushed

298
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: Eckler into the end zone. Have you ever seen that? No,

299
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: I've never seen that NFL. That was one of the

300
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: coolest things. And it's weird because all the Chargers fans

301
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: are like, yeah, touched out, and the Browns fans are

302
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: like excited. They're like, oh my gosh, we've got a chance.

303
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: Oh this is great, and then you know Baker couldn't deliver.

304
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: But um, I don't know, Rob, I'm I don't know

305
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: why you wouldn't trust Baker in that spot third and nine.

306
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: I know it's like, oh, we stopped the clock, but

307
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: they got two time outs left. Anyway, I thought Stefanski

308
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: was great all game. Not quite a perfect game, but

309
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: he's a picture to no hitter, and he broke it

310
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: up by doing something stupid. I'll tell you why he

311
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: did that play call on thirty nine, for the reasons

312
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: that we saw on the drive immediately after that, after

313
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: the infamous Browns throw Austin Ekeler into the end zone,

314
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: play two minute and a a half left, Baker Mayfield, now

315
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: is your chance. You got a two minute row. We

316
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: saw what Aaron Rodgers can do with thirty seven seconds.

317
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: You got three times that amount of time. Check down,

318
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: check down, check down, ten yard out, and then he

319
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: just started chucking the ball. Hail Mary's. He doesn't trust him,

320
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, Baker Mayfield is limited, and I

321
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: know that the final counting stats look good. You mentioned

322
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: in joke they couldn't cover him. I believe I'm like

323
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: a sixty yard pass. There was nobody within eight yards

324
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: of him on a crossing route and then he just

325
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: ran down the sidelines. So of course it's gonna look

326
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,239
Speaker 1: good on the box score. But Baker Mayfield, you know

327
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: it's he's jag. He's just a guy. He's a guy.

328
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: Hold hold on, hold on, hold on? Is it Baker

329
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: or is it the play calls they're giving him, because yes,

330
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: he has been turned over prone at times, But are

331
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: they dialing up the passes? Is it? We really missed

332
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry. We don't want to take a chance, and

333
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: we want to keep it simple, Like, I don't know

334
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: that we can kill Baker because in his past we've

335
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: seen him fling the ball. Not in the NFL, well,

336
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: he hasn't shown his arm is not big enough to

337
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: make those throws. In the look at the Bengals game

338
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: last year. I know it's the Bengals, it's a garbage team.

339
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: But listen, that Charger secondary ain't very good. Okay, other

340
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: than Derwin James, who I will just say is a

341
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: marvel to watch. He's all over the place, whether it's

342
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: coming in the box, making a tackle in the backfield.

343
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: I think he forced a Baker fumble uh in the

344
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: first quarter. He is just an incredible player. I will

345
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: also say Bosa did nothing. Now I've got to I've

346
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: got to find out who was blocking him, but if

347
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: it was Conklin, Conklin totally shut him down. At the

348
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: same time, Myles Garrett did have a good did have

349
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: one sack and uh, I think he had a tackle

350
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: for loss. But mostly the rookie slater dude, Charger drafted

351
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: well like Herbert was. I don't want to say wearing

352
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: a tuxedo because they did sacking twice. But rob this

353
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: is my and this I again, I don't think this

354
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: is like a hot take and you you can clip

355
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: it if you want. I'm just telling you right now,

356
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert is at worst the second best quarterback in

357
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: the NFL. Right now. I know Aaron Rodgers is great.

358
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: I don't know that a lot of coaches want to

359
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: deal with him because he's so ornery and he's kind

360
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: of like he's going to be the boss. Like Tom

361
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: Brady's forty four. He can't make all the throws. Justin

362
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 1: Herbert is making these incredible anticipation throws. And I'm telling

363
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: you right now, if you're starting a franchise, it's Patrick

364
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: Mahomes and Justin Herbert. I know, Josh Allen's great, and

365
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: he's flinging it. Um folks, Justin Herbert is. And you're

366
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: watching because in the stadium you can see the route,

367
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: and we had an angle where when Herbert's driving downfield,

368
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: the receivers before he's even making the cut, Herbert's slinging

369
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: it and it's a perfect pass right into the bread basket.

Speaker 1: search f s R to listen live. I say this

374
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: because I watched Zach Wilson, my guy, Mormon Mahomes, and

375
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,719
Speaker 1: um yeah, I woke up at six thirty out here

376
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: in l A early for Sunday mo Jack Wilson could

377
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: could barely make against the Falcons some basic passes. It

378
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: was a rough one. I'm not gonna kill him. He's

379
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: a rookie. I refused to kill him. It's a it's

380
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: his first London game. But watching Zack Wilson and then

381
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: watching Justin Herbert later in the day is just like,

382
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: these guys are not doing the same thing. They're not

383
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: in the same league. Wilson's got some ways to go.

384
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: And again, he's a rookie. I'm not killing him. I'm

385
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: not saying I want to, I'm out or nothing like that.

386
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: He's a rookie. He doesn't have the skill position players

387
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: like Mike Williams is just making place. Okay. Keenan Allen

388
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: is money. It's like fourth and seven and he's like,

389
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: we're going forward. We're just gonna Keenan Allen stutter step.

390
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: He's open. Let's make it happen now. The Browns did

391
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: have some injuries. Denzel Award um without Denzel Award in

392
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: the secondary, it's rough. That guy is awesome and they

393
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: didn't have him. Knew some the young kid was good,

394
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: but overall, the experiences so far was great. I'm gonna

395
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: take a quick shot here do so five food left

396
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: something to be desired. I'll just leave it at that. Rob.

397
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: I forgot to ask you, what, what did you think

398
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: it's so five food when you went to Raiders Chargers,

399
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: I mean it was stadium food. So that it's all

400
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say. But I will say surprisingly reasonably priced

401
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: considering considering it's a five billion dollars stadium, you know,

402
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: and you know, I've been to Staples, I've been to

403
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium, I've been to you know, other stadiums around

404
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: the country, and you would expect something brand new would

405
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: kind of have like a dollar or two dollar surcharge

406
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: on everything that you buy relative to what it would

407
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: normally cost. And they're kind of right online with what

408
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 1: you would pay for a drink at Staples, right online

409
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: with what you would pay for popcorn at Dodger Stadium.

410
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: So I was pleasantly surprised by that. Yeah, and I

411
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: I had a buddy who went to Chargers Cowboys, and

412
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: his reaction was, I don't know that I'd go to

413
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: another game. It's so fie. There were so many fight,

414
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: so many drunk ass clowns yelling of sentities. I'd never

415
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: bring my kid to a game. I didn't have that experience. Now,

416
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: maybe it's the Cowboys fans and the Raiders fans rob Um,

417
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: but you know, the Brown's fairs were getting after it,

418
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: no doubt. The parking lot was I thought we was

419
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: gonna be like Browns fans given the parking lot. There

420
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: were so many Winnebago's and Browns Jersey's. I saw cult

421
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: McCoy jersey. I will say I don't go to a

422
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: ton of NFL games, obviously because I work, but some

423
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: of the after some of the four PM games I

424
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: can hit. Obviously, the primetime games are great, but uh,

425
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 1: it is fun to see like throwback jerseys, a cult

426
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: McCoy brown jersey. I mean he started for what two years,

427
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: rob quote. I didn't see a Webster slaughter, which would

428
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: have been nice, Um, but burn several Bernie Costar jerseys,

429
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: which is all. That's always cool to see the fun

430
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: throwback stuff. And but I didn't see one altercation and

431
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: nobody was yelling massive f bombs like in the precinity

432
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,959
Speaker 1: of my son. He heard some stuff, but that's standard

433
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: at this point. Um. Yeah, anyways, that was my little Sunday.

434
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: Can I say one time about this game before you

435
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: move on? Now? A friend of the show. Bucky Brooks

436
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: was tweeting during this game. He was live tweeting, and

437
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: he put out something that says, you know, basically, Justin

438
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: Herbert maybe the best quarterback in the foot in the league.

439
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 1: Not a hot take, just you know, based on what

440
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: I see. I confessed Bucky and I are friends, but

441
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: you don't follow me, so I don't follow. I know

442
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: I was gonna I was gonna send him a super

443
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: hot take text or or a reply on the tweet,

444
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: like stop stealing Jason's takes like that. Man, I know

445
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: you're a friend, but I think Jason was on this

446
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: one like six weeks ago. So but I decided not

447
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: to because Bucky's a friend. But I think one thing

448
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 1: that we learned on Sunday, between the Sunday Night game

449
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: and the Browns Chargers game is when all else fails

450
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: in the draft, find yourself a six ft five quarterback

451
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: who can move, and then worry about the rest later.

452
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: But do you remember the narrative coming out he wasn't

453
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: that good in Oregon. He wasn't that good. He wasn't

454
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: that good in Oregon. But but what we're finding out

455
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: is it's the offense he was in was total garbage.

456
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: Mario crystal Ball was running some rinky dink high school bullshit,

457
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: and Justin Herbert has now been unleashed. And I'm telling you, man,

458
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: like Rob, it's to the point where it's fourth down

459
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: in anything less than like seven and you look at

460
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: the sideline and they're not sending the punting or kicking

461
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: team on. They're like, we're going for it. That's the

462
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 1: confidence in Herbert. I gotta quickly check out how well

463
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 1: they did on fourth downs. But I mean, Rob, it

464
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: was that the confidence that he has three for three

465
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: on fourth down four and seven to Keenan Allen, I

466
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,239
Speaker 1: remember watching that live. I mean, I love this, Like,

467
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: how do you not instantly like the Chargers. I know

468
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna rush to say the Bills or the team

469
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: to beat Um. I don't think it's that. I don't

470
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 1: think that's the case. I think the Bills have one

471
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: their last three games by twenty eight points each one.

472
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: They're they're kicking some mass. The Chargers have some work

473
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,239
Speaker 1: to do. UM, I don't. I'm not willing to give

474
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: the Bills the AFC listed are they do? They have

475
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: the most impressive win. I mean they kicked the chief's

476
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: ass in arrowhead by more than the Chargers did. Um.

477
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: But let's not go overboard here. Um there's still uh,

478
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 1: there's still a Buffalo team that lost up Ben Roethlisberger

479
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: and the Steelers in the opener at home. Okay, and

480
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger the refrigerator who can't move by the way,

481
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: they picked up a nice win against Denver. I didn't

482
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,959
Speaker 1: get to watch a lot of that, Robbo. My Monday

483
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: will be spent quickly looking on YouTube for the condensed version.

484
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: But how the hell did they rush for a hundred

485
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: forty seven yards? I have no idea, because actually I

486
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: was not watching that game either. I was really tuned

487
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: into the Packers Bengals game because that was one that

488
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: everyone was excited about. I remember we had Lamar Mitchell

489
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: on the radio show Fernanium Grand last week and he

490
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: was talking about a lot of betters being in on

491
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,239
Speaker 1: the Bengals. So I did not see the Bengals as

492
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: being a legitimate threat to the Packers in that game.

493
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: So I was like, well, what am I not seeing

494
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: in that game? So I watched it, and that was

495
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: one where you said that the Chargers Browns was the

496
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 1: most entertaining game that you saw on Sunday. Let me

497
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: tell you the ending of Packers Bengals was the greatest

498
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: and worst football I've seen in like three seasons. Red

499
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 1: zone was could was spotty in the uber I'll just

500
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: say that, but I did see some of it. My

501
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: big takeaway and and this is not gonna be popular

502
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: by the way, I was on the Bengals in the contest.

503
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: I gotta push um Green Bay four hundred and sixty

504
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: six yards seven point four yards per play. Think about

505
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 1: this yards per play, Like Aaron Rodgers drops back seven

506
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: yards seven yards? How do you end up with? And

507
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: I think some of that is on the floor. Some

508
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: of that is on Crosby, who I wrote this down,

509
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,479
Speaker 1: had not missed a field goal or extra point in

510
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: his first four games. He missed two in the final

511
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: three minutes of regulation and one in overtime. The Packers

512
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: are two for five in the red zone. This may

513
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: show a close score twenty two. I don't know that

514
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: it was that close. I think the Bengals got a

515
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: little fortunate. I mean they had zero chance against Davante Adams,

516
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: who had a career high two or six yards sixteen targets.

517
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: I mean he was running free all afternoon. Um, I

518
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: don't know, I I I don't think that was the

519
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: right side being on the Bengals. And um, it's funny

520
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: because I looked at Cincinnati's schedule. I only took a

521
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: peek at this week because I didn't do as great

522
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 1: to two and one in the contest if you care.

523
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: But they traveled to Detroit, Okay, rob let this sink in.

524
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: The Cincinnati Bengals are road favorites in Detroit. Okays, Like, okay,

525
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? The last time the Bengals

526
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: went on the road was to Chicago, Okay, And all

527
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: the money came in on the Bengals all week. It

528
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: went from like four to three to two and a

529
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: half or whatever, and the Bears like kicked their ass.

530
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: It was seventeen nothing until like the quarter in some

531
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: justin fields turnover ship. Okay, I'm just telling you right now,

532
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: Lions on the money line. I'm putting I'm I'm putting

533
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: that in. Lions on the money line again, Cincinnati. No.

534
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: I like the Bengals, but they're not. They're not. There's

535
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: no business that their favorites, Okay, none. And the Lions

536
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: defense stinks, by the way. Quick note on Survivor. Okay,

537
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: I made a late switch. I you So, I'm in

538
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: five Survivor leagues, all first money, a couple of bigger

539
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: money than the others, and I have two entries in

540
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: one league, and I'm I'm never doing the same pick

541
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:41,479
Speaker 1: because I'm like, oh, I don't want I don't want

542
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: to risk losing both. Right during the Jets game, I decided,

543
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: you know what, let me let me change it. Let

544
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: me just do both Vikings. This is such a lock.

545
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: I put both on the Vikings and I'm at Brown's

546
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: Chargers and I start getting text, OMG, Vikings, what wtf

547
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: all this? I'm like, what happened? What? I'm luckily Vikings

548
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: leading by ten in the fourth give up a field

549
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: goals so the cover's blown and then fumble and lose

550
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: the lead there down one with like fifty seconds, and

551
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm I see that. I'm like, f me, it's over

552
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: all my Survivor picks all five toast on the Vikings,

553
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: and I was ready to open the podcast, uh this

554
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: morning with just f bombs of the Lord of Mike

555
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: Zimmer And then luckily they go out and kicked the

556
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: field goal and win at least, so they didn't cover

557
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: for me, which is a killer. But Rob, that would

558
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: have been probably the biggest survivor loss anywhere because the

559
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: Vikings were the mortal lock of the week. That was

560
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: the biggest spread other than bucks Um Dolphins, and the

561
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: Dolphins had a chance in that one. There was a

562
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: lot of Tampa Bay injuries. That was kind of closed

563
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: for three quarters ish and then Tom Brady went nuts.

564
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: It is weird, though, Rob, that we've now gone thirty

565
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: minutes into the podcast and we have not engined Tom Brady,

566
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: who now has a fifteen touchdown two interception ratio and oh,

567
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: by the way, he's for four years old. Um, I

568
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: guess we'll wrap up with shoot. I was gonna go

569
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: in on the New York Giants tanking. I don't know

570
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:17,719
Speaker 1: what maybe I mean, we got all week. Let's wait

571
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: for day I don't want to bury the Giants yet.

572
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: Hopefully Danny Dimes is okay. One of the scariest videos

573
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: of the weekend is Danny Dimes taking that hit at

574
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: the gold line, standing up looking like he's like ten

575
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: beers in staggering, and it was so bad that Curse

576
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys is like, oh shit, he's hurt, and

577
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: Curse steps forward to like save the guy from falling.

578
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: I mean, we've all been there as a young idiot drunk,

579
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: some of us more recently than others. Um and I

580
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: feel bad for Danny Dimes. The Giants lose the game.

581
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: They lose Danny Dimes, they lose se Quon and Kenny

582
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: Golladay got hurt. Oh and by the way, can Darius Tony,

583
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: the rookie who looked awesome. We even talked about him

584
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: on the spot. I told you to get him in fantasy.

585
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: He threw a bunch of someone on the Cowboys, someone

586
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: wearing a helmet, and got ejected, Like, dude, you could

587
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: have broke your hand on the guy's helmet. Oh and

588
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: by the way, he was like a foot in front

589
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: of the guy and missed the punch. At any rate,

590
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: Rob g We will wrap up with this. I give

591
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: you five names to win the m v P. Who

592
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: are you gonna put your money on? One? Tom Brady, Kyler,

593
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: Murray Dak Prescott, Josh Allen, Justin Herbert only one. Where

594
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: are you putting your money now? I don't have the

595
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: odds in front of me because they update them, and

596
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: they wait for the week to be over. So we

597
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: gotta wait for Ravens um Colts tonight. But where would

598
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: you put your money? Um? Not Tom Brady. I think that,

599
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: you know, the more his schedule starts to tighten up

600
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: a little bit, I think his numbers will come back

601
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: to earth, which we've seen already this season. He's fattening

602
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: up against the bad teams and the bad defenses. UM

603
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott kind of the same thing. I know they're

604
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: playing in a bad kind of they play in the

605
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: bad division, but I don't think but I don't think

606
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to keep up a one sixteen

607
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: quarterback rating. You know. I think he's gonna fall back

608
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: similar to the way Russell Wilson did last season, where

609
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: he starts off really hot, they kind of get more

610
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: balance of the offense. UM justin Herbert. I think his

611
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: talent is great. The problem again, they have the same

612
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: issue that the Chiefs do where they kind of play

613
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: with their food a lot too much. Even against the Browns,

614
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: I think that they they have too much talent to

615
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: be giving up forty plus points to anybody on that defense.

616
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: So that kind of only leaves two guys, and of

617
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: the two, Josh Allen and Kyler Murray. It's all about

618
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: a narrative thing, and you know, Josh Allen resurrecting the

619
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: Bills as a big narrative. But Kyler Murray leading the

620
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: NFL in completion percentage and Arizona is undefeated, and I

621
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: think that they they play in the best division in football.

622
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: So right now you're going to bed. I'm betting on

623
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Interesting, I have to ask you, is Kyler murraycent?

624
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't know the answer. He did not

625
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: look like Kyler Murray. Would you agree with that? Yeah?

626
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: I think part of it was the the Niners defensive scheme.

627
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: They had a really good game plan to against them,

628
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: and I think that they had an idea on how

629
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: to slow him down. And to his credit, he didn't

630
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: force anything. He didn't pull him my homes and just

631
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: try to jam things where it wasn't available, and he

632
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: kind of played the way he knew he had to play.

633
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: Knew that the Niners weren't going to be able to

634
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: score a lot because of their quarterback situation, so he

635
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: didn't force the issue very much. Um. Interesting, Kyler has

636
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: three more prime time games and the big one. The

637
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: big one is in two weeks against the Green Bay

638
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: Packers and Aaron Rodgers. That's a massive game. I'm sorry,

639
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: it might be three weeks. Whatever. It's coming up this month.

640
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:56,719
Speaker 1: Um Kyler has the Browns also coming up. He's got

641
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: Packers showdown, maybe Russell be back. He's got another one

642
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: with the Rams in prime time, and he's got one

643
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: in cold So he's gonna have the opportunities in the

644
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: big spots to show out. But again he's got to

645
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 1: stay healthy. I don't know, man, it's really easy to

646
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 1: fall in love with Justin Herbert down to Earth no flash.

647
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: I mean he this guy is so good. He gets

648
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 1: um gets the Ravens this week. Now there's a big

649
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: test going across the country. Um to Baltimore. Then he

650
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: gets the Patriots. Uh he does. Yeah, he has the

651
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: Chiefs one more time, but no game against the Buffalo Bills.

652
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: But I also confessed like I had Herbert and fantasy

653
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 1: and he care I was, you know, I got multiple

654
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,240
Speaker 1: fantasy teams. One in my old my longest time league

655
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: is owen Ford. It's been two close losses and uh

656
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: I got lucky with a close win thanks to Justin Herbert.

657
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: I mean Herbert. It's just he's just awesome, Like it's

658
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: easy to rove from. Honestly, he's the quarterback I know

659
00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: least about he talks the least. No attitude, no arrogance,

660
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: none of this Aaron Rodgers bullshit, just no pretense. He

661
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: just goes out and crushes it. And I'll I'll wrap

662
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: up with this before we get the best. Bet. I'll

663
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: never forget Dan Orlovsky at ESPN, who I know. We're friendly. Um,

664
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: we got into it before the draft because he was

665
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: pro TUA and I was pro Herbert. And the one

666
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: thing he kept harping on is can you really take

667
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert out of the Pacific Northwest? You you can't

668
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: take a chance on We don't know what he's like.

669
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, really that that's the deciding factories. Too far

670
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: from home because he's a Northwest kid. And then he

671
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: stayed there and I went to Oregon, and I just

672
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 1: don't see how that's gonna be a big deal. And

673
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: it's funny because I've changed two things about NFL draft

674
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: stuff over the last couple of years or the last

675
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: few years. Number one was I was very anti RG

676
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: three because I said, oh, he's in the Big twelve.

677
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: Nobody ever coming out of the Big Toil has been

678
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: anything caused me to miss on r G three end

679
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: this guy named Pat Mahomes. So I've adjusted the conference

680
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. I don't care. I'm not I'm not basing

681
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: it on level of competition. And the other one was

682
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: just justin Herbert factor of his coach restricted what he

683
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: could and could not do. I mean they ran like

684
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: an offense in like a box, was super tight. Nothing downfield,

685
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: none of this tempo, no, nothing exciting. And everything Herbert

686
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: does now is just awesome and he's so fun to well,

687
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: I know I'm gushing too much, rob Um. I know

688
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: you're in the division with him, and you gotta see him. Listen.

689
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: It's like the Jets and Josh Allen. I gotta see

690
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 1: that guy twice a year. You know. The Josh Allen

691
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: aggression tour kind of ended already started a little rough,

692
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: but uh, he's just carving up folks right now. Any

693
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: thoughts on your boy Derek car by the way, is

694
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: he okay? I think he was injured briefing. Yeah, I

695
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: think they said that has kind of got like a stinger,

696
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I I hope he's okay, considering

697
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: the offensive line might be the worst in football, so

698
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: it's not going to get much better if he does

699
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 1: have a legitimate injury going forward. Um Raiders, I don't

700
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: know what's wrong. I mean, maybe there's something to the

701
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: group emails. We're not gonna get into that now. I

702
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,720
Speaker 1: think we're gonna wait for wait for tomorrow. People asking

703
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,240
Speaker 1: me about on social media, should you be suspended? Should

704
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: be fired? Like for a ten year old email? Really?

705
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: Is there a Is there a bunch of evidence out there?

706
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: I'm not aware of that. John Gruden is a racist

707
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: and he's been coaching players, He's been on our TV

708
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: network announcing games, Like, we know a lot about this guy.

709
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: He's possibly slipped up and did something stupid over email.

710
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: Of course, who hasn't. I will say that every one

711
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: of his former players that have done public interviews, who

712
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: are as far as I can tell, I've all been black,

713
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: and they've all said he's not a racist. So he

714
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: has that going for him. I guess Fox Sports Radio

Speaker 1: quickly get to the best bet here on straight fire.

722
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to overthink this. I bet the Ravens

723
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: favored by seven. I don't know what there is to

724
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: like about the Colts, and I do believe the Ravens.

725
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 1: Remember they opened three or four on the road. They

726
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: get home, they kind of survived it. And Rob, I

727
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: don't know if you remember this after your Raiders took

728
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:40,800
Speaker 1: down the Ravens. I opened that Tuesday pod with hey listen,

729
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: this is a dicey spot for the Ravens. There in

730
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,439
Speaker 1: some trouble. The Chiefs are coming up. They might start

731
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 1: overing too. Then you get that Broncos game in week four. Rob,

732
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: it is so crazy how things work. Just think about

733
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: this for a second. Okay, they lose to the Raiders

734
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: in kind of a flukey game. It going over time,

735
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson fumbles whatever they're on the cusp of being

736
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: owned to, and that Edwards Hilaire fumbles and they survive.

737
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: Then they win their next game on the longest field

738
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: goal in NFL history, a sixty six yarder. My memory

739
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: is fuzzy, rob it did hit the crossbarn bounce over right, okay, fluke.

740
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:30,800
Speaker 1: Game four against the Broncos, who were undefeated. Teddy Bridgewater

741
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,760
Speaker 1: gets knocked out concussion at halftime and they were already winning,

742
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: I know, and they cruised the victory. They've been kind

743
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 1: of fortunate. I don't think there's any let down here

744
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: against the Colts, who are very limited offensively. I don't

745
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: trust Carson Wentz. I don't know why you should. I

746
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: think if they can contain Pittman, there's it's really just

747
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor and a cloud of dust. I would I'm

748
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: assuming they'll stack the box. Wink. Martin Zales are really

749
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: good defensive coordinator. He knows pressure, he delivers pressure. Carson

750
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: Wentz hate pressure. I like the Ravens here, not huge.

751
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: I can see this being like thirty does thirty, thirteen,

752
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 1: thirties seventeen. So I bet the Ravens favor by seven.

753
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: I'll put some props on the I g stories later. Um,

754
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 1: it's so really good Saturday and gambling not as good

755
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: of a Sunday. It hurts when the bets that I

756
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: like the most don't even come close. I mean the

757
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 1: Vikings were close, uh you know, up by ten and

758
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 1: the fourth, but they were favored by ten, so I

759
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: guess that they didn't come close. I apologize Vikings awful

760
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: and then the Chiefs got their teeth kicked in and

761
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: that was just the wrong side. I did like Arizona. Um,

762
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: I like, and this is this is annoying, Jason. You know,

763
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: I'm doing the stuff, get this gambling stuff all week

764
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: and you see the markets move, and you you see

765
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: the influential money come in on teams and you get

766
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: scared off. And there's a lot of San Francisco money.

767
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: And ultimately I took them out of the contest. I said,

768
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm not going against all that money. Come on, these

769
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: are professional gamblers, but really are they? They're winning and

770
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,879
Speaker 1: I got scared off of Arizona is assinine, stupid chicken ship.

771
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 1: I'm piste stuff. You kick yourself over. But it seems

772
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: like a lot of people did not do great in

773
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: the contest, so I didn't really lose much ground. But

774
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 1: I this to two and one, like frustrating. Anyways, Um,

775
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:40,760
Speaker 1: we'll be back tomorrow to discuss the Ravens victory, and uh,

776
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: maybe John Gruden talked to you then
