Speaker 4: Welcome in episode seventy seven, What's Right with the podcast
Speaker 4: and YouTube show and if you're watching on YouTube for
Speaker 4: the very first time ever we are doing this live.
Speaker 4: So we are doing this live from Trintage, which is
Speaker 4: my wife's boutique, and Harlem. If you're new to the show.
Speaker 4: We do these shows Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, and we
Speaker 4: are going to attempt, if the technical side will allow
Speaker 4: us to do these live moving forward as often as possible,
Speaker 4: so hopefully we can make that eleven am on Monday's
Speaker 4: part of your routine, assuming that's where the time will stay.
Speaker 4: As it happens, today is my birthday. I only say
Speaker 4: that because I assume Demonsay and others are going to
Speaker 4: do some wacky birthday hijinks later in the show.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 4: Actually, I'm not a big birthday guy. I mentioned that though, however,
Speaker 4: because I assume we're going to start with the Chiefs
Speaker 4: here shortly and what a wonderful birthday present that was.
Speaker 4: But before we do that, we do what we always
Speaker 4: do to start the show, discuss what we're not discussing.
Speaker 4: What did not make the show today is the Phoenix
Speaker 4: Suns losing it to the Adelaide thirty six ers, which
Speaker 4: is an Australian team. If I'm not mistaken, JJ Watt
Speaker 4: plays playing days after a heart issue. The only thing
Speaker 4: I know about APHIB, which is what he talked about,
Speaker 4: is Phil Helme youth talks all the time about going
Speaker 4: into APHIB and him not being able to play in
Speaker 4: poker tournaments because of it. JJ Watt played in a
Speaker 4: tackle football game. I'd love to take a shot at
Speaker 4: Phil Helmeth about that, but he still has fifty thousand
Speaker 4: of my dollars. And DK Metcalf, well, did you see
Speaker 4: the DK Metcalf story, demontey, Yeah, caught it off.
Speaker 2: He use the restaurant.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the old Paul Pierce option, the old I don't
Speaker 4: want to poop my pants, so put me in a
Speaker 4: movable device because I can't get to the bathroom. The
Speaker 4: DK Metcalf Actually, you know, he had some fun with it.
Speaker 4: Good for him. And by the way, shout out to
Speaker 4: the Seahawks for being a frisky two and two yeah
Speaker 4: and scoring forty eight points. All right, that's what we're
Speaker 4: not discussing now. I know what we're starting with, Go demonse.
Speaker 4: What are we discussing today? The Chiefs went up big
Speaker 4: on the Bucks very early at game.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they did. The Bucks obviously still have a
Speaker 2: lot of work to do. But it's a long season.
Speaker 2: So I guess now you're gonna pretend like last week
Speaker 2: didn't happen to the Chiefs.
Speaker 4: No, last week did happen. I don't think this week
Speaker 4: happened if last week didn't happen. Okay, so this week.
Speaker 4: Last week, the Chiefs offensive line was a disaster and
Speaker 4: the special teams were a joke. This week, they start
Speaker 4: the game off by forcing a fumble on special teams,
Speaker 4: and the offensive line pushed the Bucks around. The best
Speaker 4: run defense in football the last couple of years. The
Speaker 4: Chiefs ran for damn near two hundred yards. Every one
Speaker 4: of their running backs was getting good carries, and I
Speaker 4: really like the Checko kid, the seventh round pick, by
Speaker 4: the way, that's the other pot about this game. Sky
Speaker 4: Moore was the rookie wide receiver slash punt returner who
Speaker 4: really got the Colts game going off on the wrong foot.
Speaker 4: They left him in their punt return and he got
Speaker 4: the most snapped at wide receiver that he's gotten all year.
Speaker 4: He got a couple catches. They're gonna have to get
Speaker 4: him more involved in the offense. A bunch of rookies
Speaker 4: making noise for the Chiefs. George Carlaftis on the D
Speaker 4: line did a good job. Speaking of D line, Jack Barrett,
Speaker 4: who I like, talked a little bit of trash before
Speaker 4: this game, saying, ah looks like the same offensive line
Speaker 4: to me, who's ass we kicked in the Super Bowl?
Speaker 4: Mahomes because he hears everything. Of course, was aware of that,
Speaker 4: referenced it after the game because that Bucks defensive front
Speaker 4: and that Bucks defense as a whole, got embarrassed in
Speaker 4: a way we have not seen the Bucks embarrass since
Speaker 4: Brady was there. This is the most points they've allowed
Speaker 4: in any game since Brady's been there. And the Chiefs
Speaker 4: did everything they wanted on offense until the very end
Speaker 4: of the game when Mahomes threw the pick up seventeen
Speaker 4: in Tampa. And by the way, I don't think Dampa
Speaker 4: should feel terribly about this game, because you know, the
Speaker 4: defense is good. They didn't play well against this Chiefs offense,
Speaker 4: but the defensive allowed twenty seven points total. Going into
Speaker 4: this football game. The offense was the question mark, and
Speaker 4: the offense played pretty damn well all things can, I mean,
Speaker 4: scored thirty one points. Brady played well. So if I'm
Speaker 4: a Bucks fan, I actually feel I don't want to
Speaker 4: say I feel better than I did a week ago.
Speaker 4: But if you believe the defense, this was an aberration
Speaker 4: playing the best offense in football. More on that in
Speaker 4: the moment. And you saw the offense now that Brady
Speaker 4: has weapons back, started to actually do some things. You
Speaker 4: can start to say, okay, in this down NFC where
Speaker 4: the Packers just escaped with a win. More on them later.
Speaker 4: We'll see the Rams tonight. You might say, hold on
Speaker 4: a second. I was not high on the Bucks going
Speaker 4: into the year. If you remember, I said they're guaranteed
Speaker 4: two and two or worse through four weeks, and I
Speaker 4: thought they could be one and three. Two and two
Speaker 4: is what they got. That division is so awful, even
Speaker 4: worse than we expected. The Saints or MSS. The Panthers
Speaker 4: are a total disaster. We'll see the Falcons might be
Speaker 4: a little frisky, We'll see the Bucks should be able
Speaker 4: to get healthy and get right and not to pull
Speaker 4: a romo. But I would not be shocked if we
Speaker 4: see this in the super Bowl, if we see this
Speaker 4: game again. That alarm you're hearing is not a response
Speaker 4: to my hot take. That's like I said, we're doing
Speaker 4: the ship life from Harlem. I think that's an ambulance,
Speaker 4: by the way, James Palmer James Barmber, the NFL Network reporter,
Speaker 4: that I told you I sat on that big Houston
Speaker 4: sign on the side of the highway and drank a
Speaker 4: beer with and you didn't believe me. James Balmer tweeted this,
Speaker 4: this seems interesting. Patrick Mahomes in his career against the
Speaker 4: number one scoring defense. He has played seven games in
Speaker 4: his career, including the playoffs, against the number one defensive football.
Speaker 4: His record in those seven games six and one, the
Speaker 4: Chiefs averaging thirty one points per game, his pass yards
Speaker 4: three hundred and twenty two yards per game, touchdown interception
Speaker 4: ratio fifteen to seven. It's a little more picks than
Speaker 4: you would like to put to number one defense and
Speaker 4: a passer rating of ninety four. So, in other words,
Speaker 4: put Patrick Mahomes on the field against the number one
Speaker 4: scoring defense in football. Put Patrick Mahomes on the field
Speaker 4: against the best defense in the league. You know what,
Speaker 4: he turns into a slightly better version of Joe Montana.
Speaker 4: Pretty bleeping good. And that before we move on to Monsay,
Speaker 4: is the last point I want to make. I'm done
Speaker 4: engaging in who the best quarterback in the league debates
Speaker 4: are I'm done with it. It is talking about who
Speaker 4: the best basketball player in the league was in the
Speaker 4: mid twenty tens. It's talking about who the best basketball
Speaker 4: player in the league was in the mid nineties. It's
Speaker 4: not a debate about who the best is. It is
Speaker 4: a debate about who the second best is. Because I've
Speaker 4: been I had to listen to watch the NFL network.
Speaker 4: But Brady and Rogers ahead of Mahomes. They look better
Speaker 4: than Mahomes this year. Not to me. Oh, Brady is
Speaker 4: not very low. He didn't have Mike Evans for the
Speaker 4: Bucks game. But Tyreek Hill's gone. Oh, Aaron Rodgers, no,
Speaker 4: DeVante Adams, Tyreek Hill's gone. He's throwing passes to backup
Speaker 4: tight ends to running backs. It doesn't matter. Yeah, and
Speaker 4: I don't want to hear the weakness though. What's the
Speaker 4: weakness his goal line situations? Okay, so I tweeted about this,
Speaker 4: go ahead.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you tweeted during the Chiefs game that they should
Speaker 2: sign Cam Newton for like short yardage and goal lines. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you don't like Mahomes in those areas well.
Speaker 4: They don't let him run quarterback sneaks. So the most
Speaker 4: efficient play in fourth and very short or third and
Speaker 4: very short, the most unguardable plays a quarterback sneak. But
Speaker 4: Mahomes four years ago ran one and got his knee
Speaker 4: caps located right. And then in the playoff game a
Speaker 4: few years ago ran a little quarterback option and got
Speaker 4: choked out on the field. They thought he had a concussion.
Speaker 4: He had to miss the rest the game. So they
Speaker 4: did run an option play with him near the goal
Speaker 4: line yesterday, which was odd. But they don't let him
Speaker 4: run quarterback sneaks, which is why they did that foolishness
Speaker 4: sneak to the backup tight end. Yeah, just sign Cam.
Speaker 4: I understand it's a roster spot and you're going to
Speaker 4: have to move on from somebody. But right now, you
Speaker 4: right now, you're carrying two kickers.
Speaker 2: What do you think you can get Cam Newton for?
Speaker 4: What do you mean how much money?
Speaker 2: Yeah? What do you think you can get Cam Newton for? Like?
Speaker 4: I mean two million dollars? I mean right now he's
Speaker 4: making zero million dollars. And what's the one thing Cam's missing?
Speaker 2: A ring?
Speaker 4: Is anyone gonna make Cam a starter?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: Does Cam want to be a backup. Probably not. However,
Speaker 4: if you sign him and say, hey, you're not the
Speaker 4: backup quarterback, you have a package of plays specific to
Speaker 4: you goal line, in short yardage, you will be used
Speaker 4: and there is no shame in backing up Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 4: But the point I'm on the roster spot is right now,
Speaker 4: they're carrying two kickers because they didn't put Butcker on
Speaker 4: ir So once Bucker gets healthy, they will then cut
Speaker 4: this Matthew Wright guy. My cousin shout out to him.
Speaker 4: Not actually, my cousin, you have an open roster spot.
Speaker 4: I'm just sick of the Chiefs having to do all
Speaker 4: this fanciness on inches plays. Even though the one time
Speaker 4: early in the game when they got stopped right for
Speaker 4: the Brady fumble to throw to Edwards Laira on fourth
Speaker 4: down that he dropped. Why did that happen? Because on
Speaker 4: second and one they got stuffed. On third and one
Speaker 4: they got stuffed. Get Cam, who's the best short yardage guy,
Speaker 4: one of them in league history. So I yeah, I'm
Speaker 4: a big believer in that wouldn't be a quarterback controversy.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 4: Here, all right, what's next?
Speaker 2: All right? So we got the Bills they beat the
Speaker 2: Ravens and finally won their first four score, one score game, yes,
Speaker 2: in two years. Yep. It was the biggest comeback of
Speaker 2: Josh Allen's career. And the Ravens went for a fourth
Speaker 2: and goal and they when they could have kicked the
Speaker 2: easy field goal that would have put him in Yep.
Speaker 2: They also could have let Buffalo score, but they didn't
Speaker 2: do that.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 2: Are the Ravens their own worst enemy? And does Josh
Speaker 2: Allen getting back in the swinging things scare you?
Speaker 4: Okay, let's talk about the Bills first and Josh Allen first.
Speaker 4: Let me you mentioned their first one score victory in
Speaker 4: two years. That was something I was talking quite a
Speaker 4: bit about because I thought it was noteworthy. And then
Speaker 4: my buddy, a guy I like a lot, even though
Speaker 4: he makes way too much money to not be able
Speaker 4: to afford T shirts to fit him. Kyle Brandt tweeted
Speaker 4: rip to the stupid ass Buffalo Bills can't win a
Speaker 4: close game topic. I you know what's really frustrating to
Speaker 4: me when people decide that a obvious, clear, totally legitimate
Speaker 4: topic is dumb because it goes against their priors, because
Speaker 4: it goes against what they believe to be true. You
Speaker 4: believed going into the year the Bills were this unstoppable
Speaker 4: Josh or not. You believed going into the year that
Speaker 4: Josh Allen is the best quarterback in you know, modern
Speaker 4: NFL history, And so the fact that they gag away
Speaker 4: a Dolphins game, it's like, oh, that's interesting. They have
Speaker 4: won a close game in two years. You're like, oh,
Speaker 4: those topics are dumb. They're not dumb. And I don't
Speaker 4: know about you, guys. I thought yesterday showed why the
Speaker 4: Bills are a very good team, but it also showed
Speaker 4: why this idea that they're the juggernaut once again? Where's
Speaker 4: the evidence? The second half against the Rams and the
Speaker 4: Titans game great, I'm happy for you, and people like, oh,
Speaker 4: they're so banged up. They're banged up on defense. Why
Speaker 4: is the offense that Ravens team? Mac Jones was more well,
Speaker 4: I mean he threw a bunch of picks. It wasn't
Speaker 4: more effective, but he moved the ball in the Ravens
Speaker 4: more than Josh Allen did. Now, the weather was terrible.
Speaker 4: I give him credit for that, but at some point,
Speaker 4: there's a few ways to be considered the best quarterback
Speaker 4: in football. Typically it goes like this, win a league
Speaker 4: MVP and or win a Super Bowl. As the guy
Speaker 4: Josh Allen has never come within spitting distance of either one.
Speaker 4: And okay, well, if that's the case you're projecting it,
Speaker 4: then have a dominant kick ass start to finish season.
Speaker 4: We'll see. That was a great comeback, though, and they
Speaker 4: didn't win a close game, and I give him credit
Speaker 4: for it. Now on the raven side of things, we
Speaker 4: gotta be fair here. Everyone called Lamar Jackson the league
Speaker 4: MVP through three weeks. Lamar was not good yesterday and
Speaker 4: Lamar was a huge reason they lost that game. And
Speaker 4: Hardball not kicking the field goal is the obvious right decision,
Speaker 4: because the idea is we kick a field goal we're
Speaker 4: up three, and Harball said as much afterwards. The Bills.
Speaker 4: Then the Bills are hard enough to get off the
Speaker 4: field in three downs. If they're trailing with three minutes left,
Speaker 4: now they're a four down team, almost impossible to get
Speaker 4: them off the field. They have a good field goal kicker,
Speaker 4: they're gonna end up getting in field goal range, and
Speaker 4: you're going to overtime. If you go for the touchdown
Speaker 4: and get it, you're up seven. But where Lamar really
Speaker 4: screwed up was one of the other reasons you go
Speaker 4: for it is if you don't get it, they are
Speaker 4: backed up against their own two yard line and they
Speaker 4: have to be super conservative and they're probably gonna end
Speaker 4: up punting it away.
Speaker 2: To you.
Speaker 4: Lamar did the one thing you can't do in that spot,
Speaker 4: throw a pick in the end zone. Throwing a pick
Speaker 4: even isn't so devastating if somehow you throw a pick
Speaker 4: short of the end zone. But throwing a pick in
Speaker 4: the end zone, now it's the worst of all worlds.
Speaker 4: They get the on the twenty and you have no points.
Speaker 4: So listen, Lamar has been exceptional. That team's really banged up.
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna kill Lamar, but that was a That
Speaker 4: was a bad job by the Ravens. You're up twenty
Speaker 4: to three and you don't score again. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 4: I mean, that's a bad one. And now the Ravens
Speaker 4: are two and two and in their two losses they
Speaker 4: have been up seventeen and twenty one. Right, that's a
Speaker 4: problem for them, and it's when the Bengals are starting
Speaker 4: to get right. The Browns have been even though they
Speaker 4: I told you, guys, stay away from that Browns bet.
Speaker 4: Oh that was one of the most popular bets in
Speaker 4: the world. By the way, at some point we're gonna
Speaker 4: have to talk about Demanse lasting precisely five days on
Speaker 4: the I'm not betting football wagon and then betting, signing
Speaker 4: up for a new site, using free money to do it,
Speaker 4: and then thinking, well, you had to deposit money to
Speaker 4: get the free money. You had to deposit money to
Speaker 4: get the free money, and here's guessing that money you
Speaker 4: deposited is getting gambled. But set that aside.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: The best part was the whole today thought he had
Speaker 4: Jacksonville plus six and a half, was so mad at
Speaker 4: them for blowing it, and then in the evening realizing
Speaker 4: he bet the Jags on the money way tragic. I mean,
Speaker 4: had Beth Orer, do you know how madd he would
Speaker 4: have been if they would have somehow covered livid. You
Speaker 4: wouldn't have been able.
Speaker 2: You would have been looked at it.
Speaker 4: What they screwed me? Look at this, Look they're not
Speaker 4: paying they said, I lost? All right?
Speaker 2: What's next?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 2: The Packers were the biggest favorite in the league this week.
Speaker 2: Mac Jones was hurt then back of Brian hurt. Hoyer
Speaker 2: got hurt early two. Rookie Bailey Zappi came in to relieve.
Speaker 2: But this game went to overtime. The Packers won and
Speaker 2: Rogers did lead a game winning drive. Are the Packers
Speaker 2: on the right track or is this a big red flag?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 4: I actually want to talk about both teams in this.
Speaker 4: It's not a They're not on the right track for
Speaker 4: the Packers. Now, let me give Rogers credit in this
Speaker 4: regard what I say last week that things can be
Speaker 4: going great for him, then if one thing goes awry,
Speaker 4: he turns into a different guy. The actually the opposite
Speaker 4: happened in this game. He had the worst first half
Speaker 4: of football of his career. He was four to eleven
Speaker 4: with a pick six at the end of the half,
Speaker 4: and the pick six at the end of the half
Speaker 4: was unfathomably bad for a team that was on a
Speaker 4: third string quarterback, and you knew the only thing you
Speaker 4: couldn't do was give him life with that type of play.
Speaker 4: After that, he played pretty exceptional football. He threw a
Speaker 4: couple touchdowns, he was super efficient, and he had another
Speaker 4: touchdown that could have been to win the game and
Speaker 4: the guy dropped it in the end zone. Lafleor with
Speaker 4: a bad challenge there almost cost him, So I give
Speaker 4: Rogers credit for that. But it's now been a month
Speaker 4: into the season and the Packers are yet to, in
Speaker 4: my opinion, look impressive one time. So Week one they
Speaker 4: get absolutely dominated by Minnesota twenty four to seven. Rogers
Speaker 4: looks terrible. Week two, they beat Chicago and they're in
Speaker 4: control of that game, but Chicago's awful and that was
Speaker 4: not really a resounding Rogers performance. Week three, they beat
Speaker 4: Tampa fourteen to twelve. Right, and Week four they survive
Speaker 4: against third string quarterback in New England. Now they've they've
Speaker 4: got the Giants this week in London. In London, America,
Speaker 4: be careful there. Yeah, everyone's gonna want to like gis
Speaker 4: what do you think the line is? Keep in mind
Speaker 4: there's no home field.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like, I think it's like eight and
Speaker 2: a half or seven?
Speaker 4: Oh oh you saw yeah, seven and a half. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Now I want to see if Rogers can do what
Speaker 4: Mahomes is proving he can do. It doesn't matter who
Speaker 4: my receivers are, because I am here, we will have
Speaker 4: one of the three best offenses in football. That's what
Speaker 4: Mahomes is proving unequivocally Rogers. I want to see it.
Speaker 4: The Packers are very fortunate to be three and one
Speaker 4: right now. Yes, they escaped against Tampa and that's our clock.
Speaker 4: But on Mondays, I told our producers they're so worried
Speaker 4: about getting us live on YouTube and graphics and this
Speaker 4: and that. I told them a blocks on Mondays, just
Speaker 4: call it twenty minutes, so I don't look like Nathaniel
Speaker 4: Hackett with the clock management. By the way, top of
Speaker 4: the B block, I'm gonna shout out something super sharp
Speaker 4: the Broncos did in regards to clock management. Super sharp.
Speaker 4: Now to the Patriots, Okay, Patriot fans. I listened to
Speaker 4: Bill Simmons this morning. He's like, we're one and three,
Speaker 4: but I think Belichick loves this team, and wild is
Speaker 4: talking about moral victories and listen, I get it. The
Speaker 4: fact that they were that close. If Mason Grossby misses
Speaker 4: that field goal, it's a tie game. They were that
Speaker 4: close is a testament to the coaching, the defense, the
Speaker 4: running game. I will give them credit. The fact that
Speaker 4: Bailey's Appy, however, went ten for fifteen, one touchdown ninety
Speaker 4: nine yards with a passer rating of in the low
Speaker 4: one hundred twenty seven proves my point to a t
Speaker 4: about why you never should have believed in Mac Jones
Speaker 4: as a star. Here's why.
Speaker 2: Who got hurt?
Speaker 4: No, no, no, that's not why follow me along this?
Speaker 4: So Mac Jones numbers last year pretty decent, completed a
Speaker 4: high percent of his passes, didn't throw picks, was efficient
Speaker 4: with the ball. And the point I was making all
Speaker 4: year was with a rookie quarterback, if you were going
Speaker 4: to be super conservative, give him first read throws. If
Speaker 4: he has any type of history from college how to
Speaker 4: run an offense, he's going to be able to look serviceable.
Speaker 4: The question is does he have other levels to get to?
Speaker 4: And Patriots fans will like, oh, Nick, it's ridiculous for
Speaker 4: you to like Trevor Lawrence Moore, Mac Jones. Trevor was
Speaker 4: so bad. We'll talk about Trevor in that disaster of
Speaker 4: a game later in the show. Trevor was so bad.
Speaker 4: Look at Max numbers. My point was I know Mac
Speaker 4: was fine as a rookie. Will he ever get better?
Speaker 4: Or was that like plug and play? This is what
Speaker 4: you can do now? We got the Zapman Zapham Bailey
Speaker 4: Zappy from Westernan Ducky or wherever he's from, come in
Speaker 4: and look just like Mac Jones. Now, does that mean
Speaker 4: Bailey's Appy's start too, or does that mean that if
Speaker 4: it's this plug and play, first read simplified stuff, you
Speaker 4: can be passable, which, by the way, is a credit
Speaker 4: to Patriots coaching staff. Some teams can't even make their
Speaker 4: quarterbacks passable. But it would have been better for what
Speaker 4: you believe in Mac Jones if Zapi would have come
Speaker 4: in there and looked like, oh my god, I can't
Speaker 4: do it. He said, this guy was third string quarterback
Speaker 4: eight days ago, comes in and looks doesn't look good,
Speaker 4: but looks fine all right.
Speaker 2: Last on Thursday versus the Bengals, Tua took his second
Speaker 2: hart shot in four days and was hospitalized.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was brutal.
Speaker 2: Lots of people think Tua shouldn't even play this week.
Speaker 2: The independent neurologists who cleared to it a return has
Speaker 2: been fired Yeah by the NFLPA, and even Chris Collinsworth
Speaker 2: was calling out the league last night. Yep. Was this
Speaker 2: the sign of a systematic problem with does too have
Speaker 2: really bad luck? All right?
Speaker 4: Both so the listen. I talked a lot about it
Speaker 4: on TV on Friday. I think there's a lot of
Speaker 4: Monday morning quarterback and going on with Tua's initial injury,
Speaker 4: not Thursday night, but Sunday night. And I don't really
Speaker 4: follow the logic some people are making. If some people
Speaker 4: are acting like what happened Sunday led to what happened Thursday. Now,
Speaker 4: a lot of people were saying he never should have
Speaker 4: been on the field Thursday. Maybe, but all those people
Speaker 4: have Twitter accounts and TV shows and radio shows, and
Speaker 4: I didn't hear them Thursday morning saying if to a
Speaker 4: place today, it's outrageous.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 4: I also said, and I was called naive and an
Speaker 4: idiot for this. That what my gut feeling on whether
Speaker 4: or not too out of concussion in that Bills game,
Speaker 4: to me, is almost irrelevant to the fact Tua swears
Speaker 4: up and down it was a back injury, his coach
Speaker 4: swears up and down it was a back injury, and
Speaker 4: this independent neurologist who's now been fired said he showed
Speaker 4: no signs of a brain injury, even if my gut
Speaker 4: tells me, boy, that looked like a concussion. People who
Speaker 4: have never been shown to have be liars, and in fact,
Speaker 4: when it comes to Tua the utmost of integrity. Mike
Speaker 4: McDaniel has a pretty spotless record on that as well.
Speaker 4: I think it's pretty crummy. We're just like, Nope, you're lying.
Speaker 4: How do I know? My gut tells me. And I
Speaker 4: was a little bothered by the entire media just being like, Nope,
Speaker 4: they're total abject liars. Now, if we're saying the NFL
Speaker 4: needs to err on the side of caution, so be it.
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna listen. I'm gonna say something I guess
Speaker 4: a little unpopular here, but it's what I believe everyone,
Speaker 4: every single person right now, as Levotard talks about the
Speaker 4: captain easy stance is the easiest stance to take is
Speaker 4: the moment a player shows any sign of the head injury,
Speaker 4: he's out for that game. And that's what everyone is
Speaker 4: calling for. I'm gonna be very interested to see how
Speaker 4: those same people react when someone, particularly a quarterback, is
Speaker 4: preemptively and maybe airing on the side of caution ruled
Speaker 4: out of a playoff game. Yeah. And by the way,
Speaker 4: that exact thing happened to Mahomes two years ago against
Speaker 4: the Browns. This is why it wasn't so quick to
Speaker 4: vilify to or the Dolphins because Mahomes did the exact
Speaker 4: same thing, get up and stumble, and because of that,
Speaker 4: he was not allowed back in the game. And they
Speaker 4: damn near lost to the Browns in the playoffs when
Speaker 4: they were a fourteen and one or I guess turned
Speaker 4: to fourteen in two team and the overwhelming Super Bowl favorites.
Speaker 4: I end up losing the Super Bowl to the Bucks
Speaker 4: stuffed outside. The problem with the Mahomes thing was not
Speaker 4: only did he not have a head injury, he never
Speaker 4: hit his head. He got tackled and because it looked
Speaker 4: like on first glance he might have hit his head,
Speaker 4: and then you saw the replay and he stumbled and
Speaker 4: it's like, oh my god, he's concussed. But then you
Speaker 4: saw the replay. He was choked. It was the guy
Speaker 4: got he was choked out. So he did pass out briefly,
Speaker 4: which is what happened. Was not a brain injury. It
Speaker 4: was from lack of oxygen. So he got choked, but
Speaker 4: they were cautious they ruled him out. If I'm just
Speaker 4: telling you, everyone right now has the stance, and I'm
Speaker 4: not saying it's the wrong stance. What I'm saying is
Speaker 4: I see the train coming down the tracks of a
Speaker 4: star player, probably a quarterback, taking a hard hit, him
Speaker 4: saying he's fine, his coach saying he's fine, and maybe again,
Speaker 4: maybe this is good. And this independent doctor that we're
Speaker 4: now gonna give more power to saying you can't come
Speaker 4: back in the game, and people being livid. In fact,
Speaker 4: I don't want this out on social right now, but
Speaker 4: I would like our team to clip it, timestamp it,
Speaker 4: and we'll see what happens in a bit. Now the
Speaker 4: last question, and then we'll move on. You said, is
Speaker 4: it awful luck for two? It is awful luck for two.
Speaker 4: Two is a great human being. I've talked with his
Speaker 4: father in person. I've talked with him, was super high
Speaker 4: on him coming out of college. The concern with Tua
Speaker 4: coming into the league was might be a little small.
Speaker 4: And while the hit he took Thursday night was a
Speaker 4: brutal hit that would have I think knocked anyone out
Speaker 4: of the game, they took Sunday was nothing right. And
Speaker 4: if we are now saying that hit can custom And
Speaker 4: he suffered a devastating injury in college, and he got
Speaker 4: injured last year and was dinged up his rookie year.
Speaker 4: Is it in play that to his body isn't necessarily
Speaker 4: made for it. Again, that's not about Thursday night, But
Speaker 4: the reason Thursday was such a big deal was because
Speaker 4: of what happened on Sunday. I think it's a legitimate question,
Speaker 4: and for the Dolphins, it puts them in an odd spot.
Speaker 4: With that said, as far as backup quarterbacks go, Teddy's fine,
Speaker 4: Teddy Bridgewater's fine, and you know they'll be able to
Speaker 4: at least tread water because I think two is going
Speaker 4: to be out weeks, not a week. I think two
Speaker 4: is going to be out weeks. There was some clock
Speaker 4: management disasters in Week four, and the most unlikely of
Speaker 4: teams really showed you exactly how to manage the clock.
Speaker 4: We'll discuss that next, plus get around to the rest
Speaker 4: of the league, including I think we're at some point
Speaker 4: we're gonna have to talk about the prince that was
Speaker 4: promised my guy Trevor Lawrence and the most fumbles this century.
Speaker 4: We'll discuss all that next.
Speaker 6: What's right, Hey there, Ryan Reynolds here, It's a new year,
Speaker 6: and you know what that means. No, not the diet resolutions,
Speaker 6: a way for us all to try and do a
Speaker 6: little bit better than we did last year. And my resolution,
Speaker 6: unlike Big wireless, is to not be a raging and
Speaker 6: raise the price of wireless on you ever chance I get.
Speaker 6: Give it a try at minmobile dot com.
Speaker 7: Slash switch forty five dollars up front payment required equivalent
Speaker 7: to fifteen dollars per month new customers on first three
Speaker 7: month plan only. Taxes and fees, extra speeds lower about
Speaker 7: forty gigabytes on unlimited cemintmobile dot com for details.
Speaker 4: Welcome back in episode seventy seven. Just tweeting out the
Speaker 4: link right now. What's right with Nick right is we
Speaker 4: are live on YouTube as we speak. The audio version
Speaker 4: will be coming out later today. So also the first segment,
Speaker 4: I actually think we didn't have any technical issues that
Speaker 4: I knew of, But this is our very first time
Speaker 4: going live on YouTube, so you might see a little
Speaker 4: behind the scenes stuff you typically don't. Demanse. That was
Speaker 4: your first time live on the air in any capacity
Speaker 4: doing anything.
Speaker 2: About it twitch stream.
Speaker 4: Okay, let me rephrase that was your first time live
Speaker 4: on the air with an audience in at least double
Speaker 4: digits that in any capacity, and you did a really
Speaker 4: great job with it.
Speaker 2: I appreciate it.
Speaker 4: I'm really proud of you all. All Right, we're gonna play
Speaker 4: a game in a bit called freak out or chill Out.
Speaker 4: But before that, I gotta make something right. Demase, go
Speaker 4: right ahead.
Speaker 2: We force showcased a few unbelievable clock management mistakes. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we got Minnesota, Washington, Tennessee, Las Vegas, and Baltimore all
Speaker 2: made terrible decisions yep, with the clock. So while some
Speaker 2: may think it's ironic that we don't even know how
Speaker 2: to manage our own clock over here, and that your
Speaker 2: only coaching experience in the NFL comes from Matt, and
Speaker 2: I think it's time for the return of Nick. Makes
Speaker 2: it right?
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 2: How do we fix clock management around the NFL?
Speaker 4: Okay, I think there is a great example of how
Speaker 4: easy this is to fix if you want to do
Speaker 4: it right, and that is from Denver. So here's the deal.
Speaker 4: You're getting your head in my shot. Come on, buddy,
Speaker 4: this is I'm gonna get it together. Denver was hat.
Speaker 4: Now you're fine now that our little sidebars up. Denver
Speaker 4: had the worst game management which I've ever seen, Nathaniel Hacket.
Speaker 4: He then hired a buddy, some guy who knew what
Speaker 4: he was doing instant impact, not only when I say
Speaker 4: instant impact, and that he's not making grievous mistakes. They
Speaker 4: did something that I would argue less than twenty percent
Speaker 4: of teams in the league would know to do yesterday.
Speaker 4: So here's the situation. Okay, now they lost the game anyway,
Speaker 4: but had they done this wrong, they would have gone
Speaker 4: to close to zero percent to win the game. And
Speaker 4: by doing it right, I'd say it left them two
Speaker 4: percent to win the game. Okay, what's a big difference
Speaker 4: between zero percent and two percent? Is significant? So the
Speaker 4: situation was this. The Raiders had the ball on the
Speaker 4: Denver thirty with a minute forty left. The Raiders had
Speaker 4: two timeouts, so they're down nine, by the way, so
Speaker 4: they need to get the ball back score getting onside
Speaker 4: kicks score. So again they're very slim of but the
Speaker 4: only chance you have is if you get the ball
Speaker 4: back north of a minute left. Okay, but they only
Speaker 4: have two timeouts. So what the Raiders, by the way,
Speaker 4: if you ask me, should have done in that spot
Speaker 4: was take three knees. Take If I'm running the Raiders,
Speaker 4: we take three knees. Take the first knee. It's a
Speaker 4: minute thirty five. You call time out. Take the second knee.
Speaker 4: It's a minute thirty two. You call time out, Take
Speaker 4: the third knee. We're now grinding it down from ninety
Speaker 4: seconds to fifty seconds. We punt at fifty. You get
Speaker 4: the ball down nine with forty five seconds left. I'm
Speaker 4: in great shape. The only thing we can't do if
Speaker 4: we're the Raiders is run out of bounds, turn the
Speaker 4: ball over, or commit a penalty. First down, Josh Jacobs
Speaker 4: gets six yards. Okay, that's a positive gain for the Raiders.
Speaker 4: The Raiders held on it. There was a holding pinal.
Speaker 4: You could see Nathaniel Hackett talking to his new guy
Speaker 4: in the booth and going decline like he was like confused,
Speaker 4: Like you want me to decline the penalty. If I
Speaker 4: decline the penalty, it'll be second and four for the Raiders.
Speaker 4: By accept it, it's first and twenty. I was like, decline, decline.
Speaker 4: The refs even didn't even ask him if you wanted
Speaker 4: to decline it first. He called him over and he
Speaker 4: declined it. Why because well, no, because it stops the
Speaker 4: clock without using a timeout. Now that second and for
Speaker 4: it was second and four. But if you accept the penalty,
Speaker 4: clock stops, but they get first down again. Now it's
Speaker 4: second and four, so that six yards is good for
Speaker 4: the Raiders. But most important thing for Denver is they
Speaker 4: have to get a three and out and they have
Speaker 4: to somehow steal a timeout. They just stole one by
Speaker 4: accepting the penalty, So you gave up for it to
Speaker 4: sixteen yards. But the most important thing was the forty seconds.
Speaker 4: Now they gave up a first down anyway, so it
Speaker 4: didn't matter. But on second down they stopped him and
Speaker 4: used the timeout. It's now third and three with a
Speaker 4: minute twenty eight left. If you had stopped him on
Speaker 4: that third and three you call timeout, you're going to
Speaker 4: be getting the ball back in some capacity with a
Speaker 4: minute twenty five and you have a slight chance. That's
Speaker 4: super sharp by Denver. And I give him credit for
Speaker 4: it because the guy recognize I don't know what I'm doing,
Speaker 4: so let me hire someone who does. So how do
Speaker 4: we fix it? That's how you goddamn fix it. And
Speaker 4: I think these days when everyone is looking for content,
Speaker 4: you mentioned you had a Twitch stream people like watching
Speaker 4: gaming free. In fact, you know what, Gabe, who's our
Speaker 4: fearless leader, runs Blue Duck Media. I mean this the
Speaker 4: free ida by free idea, I mean if you do
Speaker 4: this and you monetize it, I want twelve percent. Uh
Speaker 4: create this competition a NFL not to be ad coach,
Speaker 4: to be the clock game management consultant, and it's going
Speaker 4: to be like a reality show. You know what. The
Speaker 4: first thing we're gonna do, we're gonna go watch you
Speaker 4: play Blackjack. And that's how we're gonna call the field
Speaker 4: because you're gonna play Blackjack on camera for one hour
Speaker 4: and if you make one mistake, you're out. Don't care
Speaker 4: how much money you win or lose. You have to
Speaker 4: We need to immediately know can you make binary yes,
Speaker 4: no decisions when there is literally a chart you can
Speaker 4: memorize there. Once we've done that, next thing we're gonna do,
Speaker 4: we're gonna watch you Gabe's okay. The next thing we're
Speaker 4: gonna do, we're gonna watch you play Madden. We're gonna
Speaker 4: watch you play Madden in a bunch of scenarios where
Speaker 4: you have to get it right. The next thing we're
Speaker 4: gonna do, we are going to put you in a
Speaker 4: game simulation, which you can now do, where you have
Speaker 4: real money of your own gambled on your own team,
Speaker 4: and you're gonna have to gain clock manage it because
Speaker 4: the other thing, people freeze up when the stakes are high.
Speaker 4: This is not hard. And then the last thing, and
Speaker 4: this one wouldn't be great content, is a written test.
Speaker 4: What is the one time if you have one time
Speaker 4: out left you don't want to call it? The answer,
Speaker 4: by the way, is between two forty three and two
Speaker 4: forty seven left in the game. I don't have time
Speaker 4: to explain it. Just trust me on it. In fact,
Speaker 4: I will explain it real quick if you This is
Speaker 4: something coaches don't understand, but it's true. Maybe one in
Speaker 4: fifteen NFL coaches get this. If you only have one
Speaker 4: time out left and the previous play ends at two
Speaker 4: forty five, okay, and you call your timeout, right, they
Speaker 4: are going to I'm sorry, if you don't call your timeout,
Speaker 4: they're gonna have to run one play before the two
Speaker 4: minute warning.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: But if you call your last time out at two
Speaker 4: forty five and the other team is sharp and they
Speaker 4: run a play that takes at least five seconds, guess
Speaker 4: what through Guess what they're they're gonna You're not saving
Speaker 4: yourself anything, but I see that happen thirty times a year.
Speaker 4: Coaches don't get that, and that's like the next next level.
Speaker 4: Some of this stuff is as basic as it gets.
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's it's something sharp teams will recognize it
Speaker 4: should not be on the coach's decision desk. Going forward
Speaker 4: or not going for it on fourth down can be
Speaker 4: a head coach's decision. Clock management should be its own job.
Speaker 4: All teach the course. It's not hard. The Broncos understood
Speaker 4: their guy couldn't do it. They did something super sharp
Speaker 4: this weekend. I just did seven and a half minutes
Speaker 4: on our first live show ever on clock management. I'm
Speaker 4: very passionate about this topic. All right, let's play a game.
Speaker 2: Freak out, a chill out yep and a loss to
Speaker 2: the Eagles. Trevor Lawrence went eleven for twenty three through
Speaker 2: two picks and lost four fumbles. Yeah, should the prince
Speaker 2: that was promised freak out or chill out?
Speaker 4: Chill out?
Speaker 2: It was raining?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I don't even know who the game
Speaker 4: should have been played. It seemed a little unfair. The dude, Yeah,
Speaker 4: Demase lost money on this game, so he's never gonna
Speaker 4: like Trevor Lawrence again. He's mad at him. Uh listen,
Speaker 4: I uh, I don't have a lot of defense for
Speaker 4: my guy, the prince that was promised. I spent this morning.
Speaker 4: I went to all the contemporary great quarterbacks Pro Football
Speaker 4: Reference pages, went to their full career game log sorted
Speaker 4: by fumbles. So I was like, oh, I'm gonna find
Speaker 4: no nobody. It's the most fumbles lost by any player
Speaker 4: this century. So it's that great. It's a learning process.
Speaker 4: I'm so mad about that game because the Jags weren't
Speaker 4: firm control and then they couldn't stop fumbling the ball.
Speaker 4: I am also going to go ahead, he's the prince
Speaker 4: that was promised, right, So if we're going to take
Speaker 4: that analogy to its you know, for this logical conclusion,
Speaker 4: if you watch Game of Thrones or any of these things,
Speaker 4: you know what, princes have a lot of people teaching
Speaker 4: them how to do stuff. Where's the guy in the
Speaker 4: King's Council teaching Trevor Lawrence how to handle a wet
Speaker 4: football team? I mean, what the hell, man, help my
Speaker 4: guy out.
Speaker 2: He wasn't used.
Speaker 4: It must be sunny and Clemson, South Carolina three hundred
Speaker 4: and sixty five days a year. I don't know what happened,
Speaker 4: but you play in Florida, there's gonna be some rain.
Speaker 4: It wasn't great, but we're not gonna freak out next.
Speaker 2: Doctor Wright correctly predicted a quarterback transplant in pittsback.
Speaker 4: I said it was gonna happen. I did correct predicted.
Speaker 4: I forgot about that. Yep.
Speaker 2: The Steelers lick energized under Kinny Pickett even though he
Speaker 2: threw three picks. They're only a game back in in
Speaker 2: the AFC North, so they could make a playoff push.
Speaker 4: No, they couldn't.
Speaker 2: Should optimistic Pittsburgh fans freak out or chill out?
Speaker 4: No? I mean, well, listen if your if your goal
Speaker 4: is just to seek any picket and see them developed,
Speaker 4: and that's fine, then you can chill out. If the
Speaker 4: goal is a playoff push. These should have done freaked out.
Speaker 4: It took a total special team's disaster for this team
Speaker 4: to not be owing four. Yeah. Week one, you needed
Speaker 4: the Bengals to miss an extra point, to miss short
Speaker 4: kicks and we're already down on time. My apologies, and
Speaker 4: the next four games at Buffalo? What do you think
Speaker 4: the line is for that? By the way, have you
Speaker 4: looked wait for Pittsburgh at.
Speaker 2: Buffalo, Pittsburgh at Buffalo, give it a guest seven eight
Speaker 2: and a half.
Speaker 4: How about fourteen? Oh? Wait, that is yes, I saw
Speaker 4: that one fourteen for an NFL team, fourteen points. But
Speaker 4: so Pittsburgh after that home for the Bucks, after that
Speaker 4: at Miami, after that at Philly. Mike Tomlins never had
Speaker 4: a losing There's a little neat in here. Mike Donlinds
Speaker 4: never had a losing season. He could have a losing
Speaker 4: season locked up before we get to December. No, the
Speaker 4: Steelers stink, man, they really stink. They just lost to
Speaker 4: the Jets and Zach Wilson. Worse than that, they blew
Speaker 4: a ten point lead to the Jets. Was that a
Speaker 4: fourth quarter? Yeah, they were up ten with ten minutes
Speaker 4: left against the Jets, and they.
Speaker 2: Lost some time to freak out. Absolutely next, all right,
Speaker 2: Panthers head coach Matt Ruhle is now one in twenty
Speaker 2: six when the opposing team scored seventeen or more, that's
Speaker 2: the most.
Speaker 4: They told me, I can't curse. I want to curse
Speaker 4: here so bad. They sak Is relyve on YouTube not
Speaker 4: to drop any f bombs. Right, that's the most fing
Speaker 4: insane stat I've ever heard. It's not just go ahead,
Speaker 4: ask the question.
Speaker 2: Sorry, should the Panthers front office freak out or chill out?
Speaker 2: Go ahead?
Speaker 4: It's not only that you are one and twenty six,
Speaker 4: it's all of it. It's the fact that you've gotten
Speaker 4: that many operates. Seventy is not a lot of points.
Speaker 4: Seventeen the worst offense in the NFL this year. Yeah,
Speaker 4: will average more than seventeen points a game. If what
Speaker 4: that means is if if your defense doesn't play an
Speaker 4: A plus game, you one in twenty six. Yeah, it's unfathomable.
Speaker 2: Basically, they've scored two touchdowns. What the hell are we
Speaker 2: going to do? No?
Speaker 4: Exactly right, exactly right. I'd never It's also unfathomable that
Speaker 4: he's gotten this when he that record will never be
Speaker 4: broken because no one else is gonna get three seasons
Speaker 4: of that level of coaching. The fact that he's coached
Speaker 4: twenty seven of those games, it's just impossible to believe.
Speaker 4: You add to that, Baker's boy boy, remember that Baker
Speaker 4: Mayfield stock that I've been holding on to for a
Speaker 4: long time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, time to sell it if you can.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't. I don't know if there's any buyers
Speaker 4: my guy, Baker just can't stop getting the balls batted down.
Speaker 4: And that happens because he's a little guy. Short quarterbacks
Speaker 4: get balls batted down. Baker. I wanted support Baker five
Speaker 4: to eleven six, it's probably six feet. It's not horrible
Speaker 4: for an INFL quarterback of this. I mean Colin Murray's what, well,
Speaker 4: he's the shortest quarterback. He's the shortest every But I
Speaker 4: mean that's the other thing of it.
Speaker 2: It's like that thing that's like that the thing that
Speaker 2: you see when somebody's like, oh I wish I could
Speaker 2: drive that car, and like another person's like, oh I
Speaker 2: wish I wish I could walk or whatever.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, someone's always six feet dude, Colors five to five, Okay,
Speaker 4: Kyler's a little tall than five to five. No, that
Speaker 4: is true. And I do like Demond's a going all
Speaker 4: existential of like everyone, someone's always got it worse exactly.
Speaker 4: Uh no, I understand that, but uh yeah, no, the
Speaker 4: the vander should freak out. Yeah, they've spent a lot
Speaker 4: for to not have a quarterback. They spent legitimate capital
Speaker 4: in Sam Darnold, then they spent legitimate capital on Baker.
Speaker 4: They spent legitimate Capital to trade up to get Matt
Speaker 4: Corral the college kid. I guess you got to play
Speaker 4: him at some point. That I mean the Panthers. And
Speaker 4: here's the other thing. The reason I picked them like
Speaker 4: an idiot to make the playoffs was because I was like, Okay,
Speaker 4: Week one, they're playing Cleveland and Jacoby, they lose. Week two,
Speaker 4: they're playing Daniel Jones and the Giants, they lose. Week
Speaker 4: three they're playing New Orleans. They win that game. And
Speaker 4: Week four they're playing Arizona, which I correctly predicted was
Speaker 4: not a good team. They're one in three and now
Speaker 4: they've got coming up the Niners, the Rams, the Bucks, Atlanta, Sincy, Atlanta, Baltimore.
Speaker 4: They they're screwed. No freak out next.
Speaker 2: Cooper Rush has won three straight games for Dallas. It's
Speaker 2: officially time to ask should Dak Prescott freak out or
Speaker 2: chill out?
Speaker 4: He should chill out. He's gonna get his job. But
Speaker 4: I need to admit, yeah that's what.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you go ahead, but you go you need to Yeah,
Speaker 2: you definitely got some things to admit.
Speaker 4: What do I have to admit?
Speaker 2: You were so down on Cooper Rush? Okay, so down
Speaker 2: on him?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was I know he's won three games in
Speaker 4: a row, first quarterback in NFL history to win his sports.
Speaker 4: For first four starts, they have like a passer rating
Speaker 4: of X. I don't know the exact stat but this
Speaker 4: is also again, the shrapnel that I am getting from
Speaker 4: Demanse is the after shock of a lost wager. I
Speaker 4: just so everybody knows. So everybody knows, Demons is extra
Speaker 4: mad at me for my bad Cooper Rush opinion because
Speaker 4: I gave that opinion. It led to him betting on
Speaker 4: Cincinnati minus seven and a half against the Cowboys, and
Speaker 4: they were immediately out of that game. So that's why.
Speaker 4: But here's something I got right. Do you remember when
Speaker 4: Dak Prescott got hurt and had a hand surgery and
Speaker 4: they were like, hey, this six to eight weeks. Then
Speaker 4: the Cowboys were like, well maybe four to six weeks.
Speaker 4: Then Jerry Jones was like, we're not putting them on IR.
Speaker 4: We think he could be back within three weeks. And
Speaker 4: I said, he's full of it. They are sacked. When
Speaker 4: you put a guy on IR, his roster spot comes
Speaker 4: open so you can put an extra player on your roster.
Speaker 4: He's out for four weeks though minimum I said this
Speaker 4: is purely a pr move to keep the Cowboys in
Speaker 4: the news. He knows he's not going to be able
Speaker 4: to play in four weeks, and people like ah who
Speaker 4: would do that. Well, it's now been three weeks, so
Speaker 4: their next game would be the fourth game. Jerry after
Speaker 4: the game said, Dak has to be able to grip
Speaker 4: a football before we start talking about putting him back in.
Speaker 4: So he still hadn't in the process yet of gripping
Speaker 4: a football. Yesterday I saw him high fiving with his
Speaker 4: left hand. He can't even high five with his right
Speaker 4: hand yet. This was a six to eight week injury.
Speaker 4: He had surgery on his throwing hand. Can you imagine
Speaker 4: if after you had your finger surgery, how long it
Speaker 4: would take for you to be like hand feels fully normal?
Speaker 4: Can you go play in a tackle football game? It
Speaker 4: was insane. Yeah, it was always insane. Now I give
Speaker 4: Cooper Rush credit. He's more than kept the Cowboys afloat.
Speaker 4: I listen in my defense on Cooper Rush, and then
Speaker 4: we'll be done. Cooper Rush, I I just want to
Speaker 4: get this right. He had played one game in his
Speaker 4: NFL career prior to to this stint. He was undrafted
Speaker 4: out of Central Michigan been in the league six years.
Speaker 4: You might be like, well, was he awesome in high school? Nope,
Speaker 4: Cooper Rush in high school? You want to know what
Speaker 4: he was, I'll tell you what his ranked national ranking was, unranked.
Speaker 4: Do you don't want to know what his ranking was
Speaker 4: in the state of Michigan. Unranked? He was a two
Speaker 4: star recruit that had one offer from a D one school,
Speaker 4: Central Michigan. And that was so color me, you know,
Speaker 4: skeptical of that guy being able to come in and
Speaker 4: handle in the NFL.
Speaker 2: I think that just tells you that we got to
Speaker 2: stop disrespecting these guys that we don't have like an
Speaker 2: updatea on or don't have these like catchy accolades that
Speaker 2: other guys have.
Speaker 4: You know, well, listen, that's what a lot of people
Speaker 4: would say. He got there, He got there, and they're
Speaker 4: three and one. Now. I don't think there's a quarterback controversy.
Speaker 4: But here's what I do think is going to happen.
Speaker 4: Here's the most interesting Cowboys conversation. Should Dak Prescott be
Speaker 4: rooting for them to get their teeth kicked in by
Speaker 4: the Rams Because the answer to that question is yes,
Speaker 4: because look, what if they beat the Rams, and then
Speaker 4: Dak's helped this coming week, and then they play Philly
Speaker 4: with first place on the line. What if Dak misses
Speaker 4: this week, which he will, and then comes back for
Speaker 4: Philly and they lose. Now all of a sudden, there's
Speaker 4: real scrutiny on it. When they're playing right now. They
Speaker 4: have taken advantage of a soft schedule and they've played
Speaker 4: great on defense. I give him credit, but Dak's in
Speaker 4: a really weird spot where they played Cincinnati and their
Speaker 4: defense one on that game, the Giants are no good
Speaker 4: and Washington who's terrible. But now they're at the Rams
Speaker 4: and at the Eagles coming up. He Dak needs Cooper
Speaker 4: to lose to the Rams and to look.
Speaker 2: It was gonna come back from Sersey with no job.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's gonna be his job. The's gonna be
Speaker 4: a lot of scrutiny. Also, Cooper threw two picks yesterday.
Speaker 4: They both got called off due to penalty. I I'm
Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not buying into Cooper Rush. I am
Speaker 4: buying in that I discounted him a little early. But
Speaker 4: I think at the end of the day is still
Speaker 4: gonna be Cooper Rush. All right, what's last.
Speaker 2: It is the end of the B block, and I
Speaker 2: have not yet presented you with a birthday gift.
Speaker 4: You don't need to get me anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been Should I freak out or chill out? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I was telling the producers, you're not really a gift guy.
Speaker 4: Not a gift guy.
Speaker 2: He's requested three impromptu babysitting days for me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I listen. I don't want to sound like a jerk,
Speaker 4: but yeah.
Speaker 2: What do I get?
Speaker 4: I buy myself whatever I want. Yeah, I'm a grown
Speaker 4: man with a really good job. Like, it's not like,
Speaker 4: oh my god, I really wanted this and now I'm
Speaker 4: gonna get it like some people are like that. Let
Speaker 4: me tell you guys a quick birthday story. My mom's father,
Speaker 4: who you never met. He passed away. He lived a
Speaker 4: long time, was born in nineteen twelve, but he'd never
Speaker 4: met my mom's dad.
Speaker 2: It's just your mom's I've never met your mom's.
Speaker 4: No, my mom's mom passed away years ago, Nana, but no,
Speaker 4: her husband. You never met him. He passed away when
Speaker 4: I was in college. He passed away before me and
Speaker 4: your mom met. He was born nineteen twelve, lived through
Speaker 4: the depression, came back from the war, started a business
Speaker 4: and wasn't like a rich rich man, but made good money.
Speaker 4: Retired to Florida on a golf course with money leftover. Right,
Speaker 4: my mom one year for his birthday gave him five
Speaker 4: thousand dollars cash. And I said, I hope she wouldn't
Speaker 4: mind me telling this. I said, why would you give
Speaker 4: him cash? She was like, you don't know my father
Speaker 4: the way I do. I was like, what do you mean.
Speaker 4: She's like, I'll explain it to you. At some point
Speaker 4: he would call her and tell her. I mean, he
Speaker 4: was like eighty five years old when she gave him
Speaker 4: this money. Laurie, I gotta tell you, thank you so
Speaker 4: much for that money. You know, now, when I go
Speaker 4: get my morning bagel, I order the orange juice. The
Speaker 4: orange juice, they charged six dollars for it. It's so ridiculous.
Speaker 4: But because you told me to spend that money, I
Speaker 4: spend it.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 4: She knew he wouldn't spend money because he was like
Speaker 4: those people that grew up in the Depression were so
Speaker 4: they were so scarred by it. No matter how much
Speaker 4: money they had, they were convinced it was all it
Speaker 4: all could go away. It could all go to zero,
Speaker 4: so he wouldn't spend, so she gave him this money.
Speaker 4: So now he all of a sudden would buy himself
Speaker 4: orange juice and you know, buy orange sounds sad, but
Speaker 4: like but uh, I get it. Those like those Florida
Speaker 4: Jewish delis. A glass of orange is like six bucks?
Speaker 4: Like really but no, so you don't need to listen,
Speaker 4: you don't. I was going to ask you, you know,
Speaker 4: as my present for you to you know, not gamble,
Speaker 4: but I assume that ship is sailed so we can
Speaker 4: just gamble responsibly. But I appreciate that you should chill out.
Speaker 4: I don't need anything. We'll wrap the show.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: This is really by the way, so far, not to
Speaker 4: jinks it, but a plus job by the producers so

Speaker 4: a big that the Chiefs. Let me say one thing.
Speaker 4: Mom's been favored in thirty eight straight games, and it
Speaker 4: was on it all yesterday. I told America to take

Speaker 4: of it. And I had a big teaser hit yesterday.
Speaker 4: I actually already made a big teaser for next week. Oh,
Speaker 4: can't wait for Friday show. We're back on track. But

Speaker 4: three picks? Yes? Oh, how'd you do in three picks?
Speaker 2: I did?
Speaker 5: I did one pick, but the prince that was promised
Speaker 5: screwed you promise. But I also think, Okay, go ahead
Speaker 5: and tell me the picks. Because was one of your
Speaker 5: picks the Monday night game? Was it San Francisco and
Speaker 5: the Rams you were your three picks, wasn't it?
Speaker 4: So we'll see because you're one and one in those picks,
Speaker 4: all right, go ahead home.
Speaker 2: So we've got Broncos minus three at home against the Colts.
Speaker 2: And then we've got I've got.
Speaker 4: Chiefs minus seven and a half. It looks like go
Speaker 4: ahead s right there, an Arizona plus five and a half.
Speaker 2: I had it at seven.
Speaker 4: Oh well, demnd wants his line value. You guys are
Speaker 4: screwing de Monsey at his line value. That's a big difference.
Speaker 4: And then Arizona.
Speaker 2: Five and a half. Yeah, and then we've got the Cardinals.
Speaker 2: I forget what the line is for that one.
Speaker 4: It's right there on the screen, dummy.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, sorry, guys on your phone. Yeah versus Philly, Yeah,
Speaker 2: five and a half point underdogs.
Speaker 4: What so you want? So what you're saying is you're
Speaker 4: going to make that bet, that parlay with your own
Speaker 4: money and just give me the winnings.
Speaker 2: I could do that.
Speaker 4: Okay, then what but that's not what the plan was.
Speaker 4: Your gift is you're just giving me.
Speaker 2: I was giving you advice, giving you three picks, and
Speaker 2: now you only have to do two more for Nick's
Speaker 2: picks on Thursday.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well that won't that is that might be the
Speaker 4: first time ever someone tried to give me a birthday
Speaker 4: present that is likely to just cost me money. That's like, oh,
Speaker 4: let me tell you something. Hold up, I gotta tell
Speaker 4: you some unbelievable on that front. And God, lover your
Speaker 4: your mom is the greatest person ever, Okay, the greatest,
Speaker 4: And she has her own business and makes her own money,
Speaker 4: and the you know, we have an odd financial dynamic
Speaker 4: at home where the money I make goes in a
Speaker 4: joint account, the money she makes goes in a separate account,
Speaker 4: so like she has her own money, but I don't
Speaker 4: have my own money. But whatever, it doesn't matter. I'm fine.
Speaker 4: So you know, she had that masseuse come to the
Speaker 4: house on Friday, and it was unbelievable. I got to say,
Speaker 4: I've never I've only gotten one real massage in my
Speaker 4: life outside of it a poker game. So at Boger
Speaker 4: Games they have massage people come over and rub your
Speaker 4: shoulders or whatever. But uh, yeah, one of the massage
Speaker 4: people I tried to hook you up with on Instagram.
Speaker 4: But that's neither here or there.
Speaker 2: South by the way.
Speaker 4: Oh really, Oh we should talk about that off the air.
Speaker 4: Well that that. I'm glad. It doesn't matter. So your
Speaker 4: mom's I tell your mom after after I get the massage,
Speaker 4: then your mom's gonna get one she's excellent. Who was
Speaker 4: super relaxing, fix my back a bit, I sit all day.
Speaker 4: I was like, that was really great, babe. I really
Speaker 4: appreciate it. And she was like yeah, she was like,
Speaker 4: I want that to be one of your birthday presents.
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, this massage. She's like, no, Like I
Speaker 4: want her to come like every week or every two
Speaker 4: weeks and give us massages as a birthday present to
Speaker 4: you that unsuredly, assuredly I'm paying for, Like, oh, what
Speaker 4: a delight, Laurie. Don't put this on social I'm gonna
Speaker 4: get fried. And by the way, it is a great present.
Speaker 4: But that that is a birthday president. It's like, oh that,
Speaker 4: I that's just costing me money, much like you giving
Speaker 4: me bad gambling tips.
Speaker 2: This is not hold on, this is on the show.
Speaker 2: I love that we did this on air, and so
Speaker 2: it's recorded. It's always gonna be all right, So we'll
Speaker 2: see those three picks are winning. Those three picks are
Speaker 2: when I gave you. Yes, it was a gift, but okay,
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. All right, what's next? What are we doing?
Speaker 4: Last?
Speaker 2: The producers know? So the producers are they've got a
Speaker 2: gift for you.
Speaker 4: What do they have for me?
Speaker 2: They know that you're really in a fashion and you
Speaker 2: really like the Lakers. They thought, I am.
Speaker 4: Really into fashion. Can can on YouTube? Can you guys
Speaker 4: see the logo on this coat?
Speaker 2: They can see the g's on there.
Speaker 4: Okay, I was just making sure, all right, go ahead,
Speaker 4: So what of the So I'm into fashion, I'm in fashion.
Speaker 2: You're into the Lakers. So they thought the following would
Speaker 2: be a very good gift for you.
Speaker 4: Let me say, there we got.
Speaker 2: And they're actually getting you that like it's it's it's coming.
Speaker 4: They're sending me a Patrick Beverly Lakers jersey.
Speaker 2: Yes, it is a Patrick Beverly's Kers.
Speaker 4: You know what. So I've told you, your mother, your sisters,
Speaker 4: any one in my life. I told the TV showed
Speaker 4: people today to an NFL Monday. I don't take this down.
Speaker 4: That's that offensive. I told the TV people, please don't
Speaker 4: spend any time on the show today doing like, hey,
Speaker 4: here's Nick's birthday cake or whatever. It's an NFL Monday.
Speaker 4: Every minute's too valuable. Cable television. Don't do it. Don't
Speaker 4: give me anything, don't do anything. I'm now making a revision. However,
Speaker 4: much money was spent Jesus Man. However, much money was
Speaker 4: spent of Blue Duck Media's budget to buy that Patrick
Speaker 4: Beverly jersey. I want the equivalent amount spent on a
Speaker 4: real present, Okay, So if that costs one hundred and
Speaker 4: twenty dollars, I need a actual present that I'm going
Speaker 4: to be like, Oh, I really appreciate this. I need
Speaker 4: that much spent, So you now cost you double because
Speaker 4: that is just wait, you might as well lit money
Speaker 4: on fire. And now if you just did the photoshops,
Speaker 4: you're not actually sending me the jersey. That's fine, that's free.
Speaker 4: But if you're actually spent money on it, then I
Speaker 4: need like a nice bottle of Scotch or something, even
Speaker 4: though I don't drink Scotch. Uh the equivalent, okay.
Speaker 2: Or Patrick Beverley yellow and purple shoes.
Speaker 4: You're gonna wear because you think I'm gonna gift you
Speaker 4: the jersey.
Speaker 2: Man thing's probably gonna get When are you gonna wear it?
Speaker 4: You can't wear that, bro, You can't walk around in
Speaker 4: a Patrick Beverley jersey. Why it's the same rules. Remember
Speaker 4: when Deanna wanted do you know what I'm gonna say here?
Speaker 4: Like three years ago. This is an embarrassing way to
Speaker 4: end the show. When we were shoe shopping, do you
Speaker 4: know what I'm gonna say? Oh?
Speaker 2: Wait, No, I don't know what you're gonna say.
Speaker 4: We were shoe shopping and Deanna found some shoes she
Speaker 4: really really wanted and they were Kyries and I was like, nah,
Speaker 4: it's not having it.
Speaker 2: She actually has a pair of Kyriees though.
Speaker 4: Oh, your mom got him, forgot her. Oh then she
Speaker 4: mustn't got him without my consent on the low.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, ya, she got him like three years ago
Speaker 2: when he wasn't like super problem.
Speaker 4: No, he was already after he'd stabbed Lebron in the back.
Speaker 4: He was out on it. All right, that's today's show.
Speaker 4: Hopefully we're back live again on Thursday. Check out but
Speaker 4: subscribe on iTunes, subscribe on Spotify, subscribe on YouTube again.
Speaker 4: If we get to andre k YouTube subscribers before the
Speaker 4: new year, before the end of football season, Demonte gets
