They're kicking off at the stadium I think 39 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 1: still called Raymond James Stadium. All these stadiums changed names 40 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: in a million times, but fire the cannons e NFC 41 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: South barn Burner between the visiting Falcons playing out the 42 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: string against the Buccaneers who still have a lot to 43 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: play for Falcons with Kirk Cousins, who's toiling away there 44 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,839 Speaker 1: in the atail and the Baker mayfield for the Buccaneers. 45 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: You had al Michaels and Herbie in the Amazon on 46 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,080 Speaker 1: the call. So I don't know if you're watching this 47 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: game or not. Perhaps you miss it. I don't knows 48 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: you would be watching. Maybe he's weren't watching anything. But 49 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: here's the deal, Kirk Cousins, wake up the echoes. Kirk Cousins, 50 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:15,399 Speaker 1: not one, not two, Three touchdown passes in a primetime game. 51 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: Remember the curse of Cousins in primetime games back in 52 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: his Minnesota days. But he looked good in this game. 53 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: Three touchdown passes, a bunch of yards. Of the touchdown 54 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: passes all to Kyle Pitts, the tight end, built like 55 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: a Donnis. He often plays like a Pip Squeak, but 56 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: not on this game. Not in this game. And Zane Gonzalez, 57 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: the idiot kicker, booted a forty three yard field goal 58 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: as time expired. Good afternoon, good evening, and good night, 59 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: and Atlanta rallies from two touchdowns down and they get 60 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: the one point win over the team from Floresta. Atlanta 61 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: gets the win there and the highlight of the night 62 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: was not on the field, Say well, what about that 63 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: Zane Gonzales kicking no, no, no. For our purposes in 64 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: talk radio, the highlight was thirty seconds. It's a postgame 65 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: clip of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles. Now, 66 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: Todd Bowles has coached multiple NFL teams over the years, 67 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: and none of them have been very good. Yeah, he 68 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: occasionally will give us solid gold. He will, and he 69 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: gave us that unleashing the beast as Todd Bowles. Every 70 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: once in a while you get a coach that's at 71 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: the end of the rope and decides to let you 72 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: know what they really think of their football team. And 73 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: let's go to the audio tape. Here is Todd Bowles 74 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: breaking down what's wrong with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 75 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 3: It's an excuseable. You don't make excuses. You got enough words, 76 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 3: you got care enough for it, got something to you. 77 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 3: It's more than a job. How well do you know 78 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 3: your job? How well can you do your job? 79 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 2: Well? 80 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 3: You can't, sugar coach, it was a usable man, because 81 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 3: it's for that's for no excuse for it. 82 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: That's what you're telling them. A look, yeah, I don't 83 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: know who edited that, but way too too long. The 84 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: bleeps were too long. But it's unfortunate. Go to social 85 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: media get the actual cutakes. We're not we're not grown 86 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: ups here in overnight radio to play the right butt. 87 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: But listen, I know you can't to play bad words, 88 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: but you can. There's ways you get edited. But he 89 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: said the F word seven times, the S word four times. 90 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 1: The key parts of that inexcusable, and it's your e 91 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: fing livelihood. I mean, we couldnt even get a little 92 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: taste of the F word in that. I mean, my god, 93 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: just the F at the beginning. Holy crap. I gotta 94 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: teach you editing now. I'll had that to my resume, 95 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: all right. So that's a good jumping off point. Let 96 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: us discuss the question what did Bucks coach Todd Bowles. 97 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: You barely hurt any of it because of the tremendous 98 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: editing job, but what did Bucks coach Todd Bowles postgame 99 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: rant reveal? So my thoughts on this, I've got a 100 00:05:54,040 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: three by three Walgreens and Pink Paradise, and we will 101 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going 102 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: to make a Cuban sandwich, which is the sandwich of 103 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: choice in the greater Tampa area, or so I am told, 104 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: and some Cuban cigars, which is also very popular there 105 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: in the greater Tampa Saint Pete area. So A, this 106 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: wasn't coaching. What are you talking about, He's a coach. 107 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: It wasn't coaching. This was a hostage video by Todd Bowles. 108 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: This is why I do this job, Like these kind 109 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: of rants. If everyone just said the same boring crap, 110 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: which they do ninety eight percent of the time, what's 111 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: the point of doing this? Every once in a while, 112 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: someone's loud and proud, and that would be Todd Bowles. Here. 113 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: It was thirty seconds of pure, uncut rage rage. I 114 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: love it. No pr polish, no media training, just Todd 115 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: Bowles and a microphone. And it was cartoonish. As we 116 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 1: like to say on this show from time to time 117 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: when someone has a rant like this, say it's just 118 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: like Popeye. That's all I can stands and I can't 119 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: stands no more. Now, what did it reveal? What did 120 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: it real Well, it revealed simply that Todd Bowles just 121 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: let you know that behind the curtain, behind the locker 122 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: room doors, he believes his players are lazy. He's not 123 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: coaching them to play that way. They've checked out. That's 124 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: what I took from that. That's what I took Todd 125 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: Bowles is announcing, listen, these guys are so stupid. My 126 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: players I tell them to do, they don't listen to me. 127 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: The Marans, I don't know what they're doing. And it's 128 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: because of that. He just finally was at the end 129 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: of it. And you know, if guys were doing what 130 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: they were supposed to do and grinding away, you don't 131 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: have to scream about their effing livelihood. You don't. You know, 132 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: you scream about someone else, you'll scream about that. Well, 133 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: that's we know they take this seriously, that this is 134 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: a last ditch flare gun fired straight up in the 135 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: dark night sky, and it's it's a three by served 136 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: up piping hot by Todd Bowles. You've got the unfiltered meltdown, crude, 137 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: raw and soaked and desperation. That's the three by three crude, 138 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: raw and soaked in desperation, and Todd Bowles is fed up. Obviously, 139 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:21,119 Speaker 1: he blew up a gasket because he knows the math. 140 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: And they do have some games coming up with Carolina. 141 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: There's only three games to go for the Buccaneers where 142 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: they have a couple of games I believe still both 143 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: games with Carolina. So there's no sugar coating, no corporate speak. 144 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: He cut through. He took his the chainsaw and he 145 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: just cut through the bull crap is what he does. Yeah, 146 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: and here's the irony, Like, I really wish Todd Bowles 147 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 1: was a good coach. I do. He's been around for 148 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: a long time, coach the Cardinals and the Jets, and 149 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: I wish he was good because he's a hell of 150 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: a sound bite. He really is good. Good sound That's 151 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: all I care about. I'm a talk shows. I care 152 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: about sound bites. He's really good. Unfortunately, bites don't win 153 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 1: championships and they don't fix game management. And people were 154 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,719 Speaker 1: ranting and raving about the time out strategy. There were 155 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: four options that Bucks had on that Falcons final drive 156 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: and he picked the worst possible one. It's kind of 157 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 1: like grabbing the mystery box on let's make a deal, 158 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: and that's what he did. You bought fourteen point lead, 159 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: a fourteen point lead against that Atlanta team. Wow, wow, 160 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: you and you was back to back at home to 161 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 1: the Saints and the Falcons. That is a fireable offense, 162 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: is what that is? Atlanta, they tried to give wrap 163 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: the game. They had a turnover palooza. Well not by 164 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: the penalty. Turnovers were also a little spice on top 165 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: of mostly penalties and the whole NBA jam combo and 166 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: Tampa went. They went like NBA jam. They rejected it 167 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,959 Speaker 1: like spam mail and fans are angry, right, Oh, he 168 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: should be gone defense. He's a defensive guy. The buck 169 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: defense is twenty fourth in points allowed. The microwave is on, 170 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: the heat is up in the microwave. And that rant. 171 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: That was a man who knows he is coaching for 172 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: his job and not his team. You know, his team 173 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: will have jobs in the NFL. He's not gonna have 174 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: that job if this continues the way it's going there 175 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: in Buckland. Because wow, I mean, yeah, you're in control 176 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: and then you lose at home to the Saints and 177 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: the Falcons and you blow a lead to the Atlanta Falcons. 178 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: That is embarrassing. That is I mean even people that 179 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 1: know football. No, that's embarrassing, right, that is bad? All right, 180 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: now turning the page, but not very far. He's gonna 181 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: keep with the theme of the hour. Baker Mayfield has 182 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: entered the chat. Yep, that Baker Mayfield. It's a time 183 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: honored tradition. When a team loses, you play the SoundBite 184 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: of their quarterback as well as their head coach. We've 185 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: already done the head coach thing. So Baker Mayfield attempting 186 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: to shoulder literally shoulder the blame as he had had 187 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: a gut punch interception in late in the game, he 188 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,079 Speaker 1: did ride the vomit comet. And here is Baker Mayfield 189 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: who's trying to take full ownership of his part of 190 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: the blame. Pie for the Bucks. Take a listen. 191 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 4: Disappointing obviously, but falls on my shoulders. Can't can't turn 192 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,079 Speaker 4: the ball over, can't have that interception, got to hit 193 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 4: mecans tride on that third down. Listen. You can say 194 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 4: what you want about being up two scores and the 195 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 4: defense right there, but we have to be better on offense. 196 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 4: And it comes down to how I play this one. 197 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 4: This one's gonna haunt me. This this falls on my shoulders. 198 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: So some pearls of wisdom there. The question Baker Mayfield 199 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: saying that his Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost the loss he 200 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: quarterback there is going to haunt him? Is that inbounds 201 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: or out of bounds? So the pearls of wisdom from 202 00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield after a minutes long Mallard deliberation are totally inbounds. 203 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: This was a textbook quarterback confessional, is what this was. 204 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: The quarterback steps in front of the firing squad. You're 205 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: supposed to eat the blame, enjoy the blame. You're responsible. 206 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: You hope the bullets stopped flying. The boilerplate. It was 207 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: that sure, it was a boilerplate response. Nevertheless, this one 208 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: does have a long receipt alongside. Like Baker Mayfield earned 209 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: every ounce of the Haunted House talk. And again we 210 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: like the gumption, the grit and all that stuff. Baker 211 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: the old lunch pale guy, and he's a sledgehammer out there. 212 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. However, on this night, 213 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: and really the last month plus, Baker Mayfield has been 214 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: Baker the headache maker and needs to go down to 215 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: Walgreens and get a large container of pharmacy grade ibuprofen 216 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: to hand out to the buccaneer backers. I hope I 217 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: got TJ. Reeves is okay? The Bucks sideline guy there, 218 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: My goodness. I did see him on TV briefly. It 219 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: was wringing the full ensemble. The Bucks were dressed for success. 220 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: They had the creamsicle uniforms on the classic throwback uniforms. 221 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,839 Speaker 1: Unfortunately they did not perform up to that standard, which 222 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: you generally don't like. You generally don't like that. So anyway, 223 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: the Bucks, they get twenty eight points to say, that 224 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: should be enough to win. They still left points on 225 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: the table and they left those around like abandoned luggage 226 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: at pick your favorite airport JFK or Hare or Lax 227 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: or whatever. And Mayfield, I wouldn't say it was bad. 228 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: He wasn't bad. He wanted to bundle of joy. He 229 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: was okay, he was fine, just fine, nothing screenshot worthy, 230 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: nothing to put on the gram or TikTok or any 231 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 1: that stuff. And when the lights got hottest late in 232 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, Baker melted like cheap wax. He was 233 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: not up for the combat, the hand to hand combat, 234 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: and to be outplayed by the fossilized remains of Kirk Cousins. 235 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: You were out performed by Kirk Cousins. Let that settle in. Wow. 236 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: I think Cousins I saw at one point there, and 237 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: maybe it was my imagination, he actually had a walker 238 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: between snaps, he hit a walker. Cousins had fifteen bad plays. 239 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: Fifteen bad plays in this game. Baker Mayfield had twenty one. 240 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: And that's a minus six swing in a what turned 241 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: out to be a razor thin margin game. And so 242 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: six more negative plays by Baker Mayfield, especially the late 243 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: interception which set the dirty Birds up to get the 244 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: ball back and to go down knowing they were only 245 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: down by two points and they could end up winning 246 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: the game with the field goal. But that that's the 247 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: malord math on that kid's now the Petridge Farm remembers 248 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: moment of the night. I'm old enough, and I don't 249 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: know if you're old enough. You're probably not old. But 250 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: I'm old enough to remember when Baker Mayfield was the 251 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: front runner after Week four for the Most Valuable Player 252 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: award in the NFL. Now, let's take a look. Let's 253 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: peak at Baker Mayfield. So Baker Mayfield the last five games. 254 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: The last five games, Baker Mayfield one hundred and sixty 255 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: one yards per game on average, six touchdowns, five interceptions, 256 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: a passer rating which I think is slightly above a 257 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: gas station microwave, I think. And yeah, so this loss 258 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: will be the Haunted Mansion and it's not over. The 259 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: Bucks still have two couple of matchups with Carolina and 260 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: they can take care of that. And certainly Carolina is 261 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: no good. They're not a great team or anything like that. 262 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: But that's not Melo drama. That's more of an accountability 263 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: from Baker Mayfield. All right, Now, last word, we go 264 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: to the winning locker room, which is not not the 265 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: better story, but it is a story. It is a story. 266 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: And the question what does this dramatic last second win 267 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: do for the equally and battered Falcons coach Raheem Morris. 268 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: So they can't tank to get a higher draft pick. 269 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: They don't have a first round pick, so you're not 270 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: doing that. You're trying to play to win the game 271 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: and all that stuff, and so it but it does 272 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: on my scorecard, and you can chime in when we 273 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: give out the number in a few but on my scorecard, 274 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: it buys Raheem Morris. A weekend pass, not a season ticket. 275 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: A weekend pass like this is a temporary reprieve from 276 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: the Pink Paradise, which is known as the Pink Slip 277 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: is in the mail for right now. The package has 278 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: been delayed. The package has been delayed. But this was 279 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: an island game and Atlanta got bonked on the head 280 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: with a coconut and they still won the game anywhere, 281 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: all right, So let's not throw a parade down Petche 282 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: Street yet because the Falcons. If anything, this game was 283 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: more of a reminder of what a terrible job Raheem 284 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: Morris has done as a head coach. Let me make 285 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: my elevator pitch on that. You look at how the 286 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: Falcons were moving the ball, and a lot of that 287 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: was because of the Bucks defense, but still there were 288 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: legitimate flashes that this could have been a fairy tale 289 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: season in Atlanta and instead it's like a broken strobe 290 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 1: light in a dive bar. That's the fact, Kyle pits 291 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: we've mocked many a night. The draftis, Oh my god, 292 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: they got all horney of their pants down because Kyle 293 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 1: Pitts is built like a Donnis and he finally looked 294 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: like the unicorn all you idiots said he was going 295 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 1: to be. He looked like the player that he was 296 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: advertised as. Eleven catches on twelve targets, eleven out of 297 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: twelve on the targets, one hundred and sixty six yards 298 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: and three touchdowns. And if you look at the box score, 299 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 1: a partridge in a pear tree, so a grown man 300 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: playing against it looked like a bunch of middle schoolers 301 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: who were on sleeping medication. And he had Jon Robinson 302 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: Electric Electric one hundred and seventy five total yards in 303 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: this game, dancing through defenders like it was open mic Knight. 304 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: And we mentioned Kirk Cousins dusting off the Minnesota Sizzle 305 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: reel from Back in the Day throwback performance by Kirk Cousins. 306 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: And yet even with that, they were down fourteen, they 307 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: being Atlanta in the fourth quarter and needed Baker Mayfield 308 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: to f up Baker the headache maker for you to 309 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,719 Speaker 1: have a shot to kick a field goal to win 310 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 1: the game. And nineteen penalties, So what do we like 311 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: to say, you're either coaching it or you're allowing it 312 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 1: to happen. Nineteen penalties a record for this season. And 313 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 1: I believe a franchise record for the Falcons, and they've 314 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: had some really bad teams. Nineteen penalties, one hundred and 315 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: seventy five yards. It's like a team that can't walk 316 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: in chew gum at the same time, and they still 317 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 1: won the game. So even though Rawhie Morris gets a 318 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: tempt reprieve when you do inventory at the end of 319 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 1: the season and you look back, you're like, well, wait 320 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: a minute, we've got some real prime rib talent, and 321 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: why are we serving beyond burger? Who wants a burger 322 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: with no meat? 323 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 3: Right? 324 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: We're prime rib? What are we doing? It was the 325 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 1: this team is the quintessential meh team m eh matt 326 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: as in mediocre efforts, hopeless, often hopeless, and so this 327 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: wain feel good for a night and all that stuff. 328 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: It's a band aid on a bullet hole, a reminder 329 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: that with a little bit better coaching, this team could have, 330 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: should have and would have been something special. But they're not. 331 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 1: They are not.

We 347 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: did give the right pickout on Benny versus the penny. 348 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: We're happy about that. We did not expect Atlanta actually 349 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: win the game. We thought they would just cover the spread, 350 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: but they won the game outright on a last second 351 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: field goals time ran out there. So Atlanta playing the 352 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 1: role of spoiler and now Carolina controls their own destiny. 353 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: So I'm told, if Carolina beats the Saints in Louisiana 354 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: this weekend, if they win that game and they only 355 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: have to win one of the two against the Tampa 356 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers and then they're in they win the division. 357 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: So that's where it's at in terms of the NFC South. 358 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: Todd Bowles had a potty mouth ramt which I loved, 359 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: loved Todd Bowles, which he was a better coach. But 360 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: our lead this hour is from Cincinadi, where the Bengals 361 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: are playing out the string on another failed season wide receiver. 362 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase like a knight in shining armor, running to 363 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: save his damsel in distress, or in this case, his quarterback, 364 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: and he believes the narrative that Joe Burrow is losing 365 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 1: his love of football is false. Now, how do we 366 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: know Jamar Chase believes that is a false narrative. If 367 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: you didn't see this, perhaps not Chase his weekly media availability. 368 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: He attempted to put the fire out. He wanted to 369 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 1: set the record straight. Here is Jamar Chase explaining that 370 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: all those stories that are all over the interweb and 371 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: social media about Joe Burrow not being happy, I don't 372 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 1: know if i'd believe that. Take a listen, he smiles 373 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: every day. 374 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 4: Like the narrative that y'all trying to paint on him. 375 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 3: Right now, I don't see it. 376 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. 377 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 3: At the end of the day, he's the same person 378 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 3: every day he comes to work. 379 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 2: He loves work, he loves the guy in the locker room. 380 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 3: So he's pretty positive to me. 381 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: Arts we'll just ask some questions, just with them for 382 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 1: a little bit of narratives. That's okay, Okay, just asking questions. 383 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 1: Don't be upset to me. I love you. I have 384 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: all your your football cards. Okay. So that's a good 385 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question, Jamar Chase, 386 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: you heard it blaming the media for making it seem 387 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: like Joe Burrow is not happy with the Bengals, saying 388 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 1: that's the narrative there. How much weight does this have? 389 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: So I've got deck, Picasso, and carrot top, and we 390 00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are 391 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: going to make some spaghetti and meatballs, is what we're 392 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: going to make. So number Jamar Chase is attempting with 393 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: this interaction with the fourth estate. He is attempting to 394 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: play human for Breeze. What He's going to clean the 395 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: air around the Ben Gals franchise because if you if 396 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: you sniff, there's a bit of a stench around there. Now, 397 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: Chase implies, the media is out there stirring the pot. 398 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 1: You media troublemakers. If it wasn't for you, meddling media losers, 399 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: then none of this would happen. So it's like they're 400 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: stirring the pot. They being the media because I'm not 401 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: part of the mainstream. I do overnight. Overnight's not part 402 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: of the mainstream. Mainstream is daytime. I'm not daytime. I'm overnight, 403 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: so I'm not part of the media. I'm overnight radio, 404 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: not mainstream media. So anyway, Chase is this saying, Oh, 405 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: you guys are stirring the pot. You're splitting some hot 406 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: sauce on Joe Burrow. Every syllable that Joe Burrow rows 407 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: out blah blah blah blah blah. So corner Chase, Joey 408 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: b is smiling and skipping and whistling in the locker rooms. 409 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 1: Zippity dude, das zippity day. Hey, I love playing with 410 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 1: the Bengals because we blow. Yeah, it's like he's starring 411 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: in a Disney musical. Everything's fine, nothing to see here. Yeah, Unfortunately, 412 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: I'm not a country bumpkin, so I don't buy it. 413 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: Maybe cardiac. Stanley buys it, but I don't buy it. 414 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: This carries the weight of a feather in a hurricane. 415 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: It does, and so Chase, I know what he's doing, 416 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase. He's playing the blame the media spin card 417 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: from the bottom of the deck right, a classic deflection, 418 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: classic deflection grade a victimhood developing hot dot dot dot. 419 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: Distrust of the media is the easiest scapegoat since blaming 420 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: the dog for not turning in your homework. The dog 421 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: ate my home work. Okay, but here's the rub dumbo. 422 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow said the quiet part out loud. In a 423 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: previous episode of The Ben Mathers Show, we highlighted some audio. 424 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,719 Speaker 1: The man literally walked up to a hot microphone surrounded 425 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: by reporters in a news conference environment, unprovoked. Unprovoked, okay, 426 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: and he delivered a Shakespearean in cleete soliloquy about joy 427 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: fading and football not being fun? Why am I doing this? 428 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 4: Right? 429 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: As his quote was, if it's not fun, then what 430 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: am I doing it for? That wasn't taken out of context, 431 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase. It was the context that was literally the context. 432 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: So spare me the media boogeyman. Bull crap. This is 433 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. That's what he said. That's the essence of 434 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. This is a Burrow problem. It's not the 435 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: beat writers problem. It sounds like the beat writers are 436 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 1: fanboys the way they attempted to I'm just asking questions, 437 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: just asking question all right now, Page two to Indianapolis, 438 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: the game that everyone will be watching like we're rubbernecking 439 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: driving down the highway and there's an accident and you 440 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 1: can't stop. Look so Indy going to Seattle and Philip 441 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 1: Rivers back in the NFL with the Colts after five 442 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 1: years on the sidelines as a high school football coach 443 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 1: in Alabama, and that means that he is back in 444 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 1: the game. EA Sports. The EA Madden rating is out. 445 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: They revealed this week that Rivers will have a seventy 446 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: overall rating in Madden NFL twenty six. A seventy rating, 447 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: He'll have an eighty three throw power rating, a eighty 448 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: six short throw accuracy rating, and a fifty nine rating 449 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: for speed. If that does something for you, congratulations, Now 450 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: the question Let's just look at the big picture here. 451 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,159 Speaker 1: So Philip Rivers with a seventy overall rating in the 452 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 1: updated Madden NFL twenty six game. Are you okay with that? So, yeah, 453 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: I'm fine with I think of this like a like 454 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: a Picasso hanging crooked in a dimly lit bar in Gary, Indiana, 455 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: and then they moved it over to French Lick, Indiana. 456 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,959 Speaker 1: So can't close the deal. Neil and his relatives can 457 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: go check it out. Like opinions are paintings. I you me, 458 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: the Madden rating adjusters, whoever comes up with that. We're 459 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: all staring at the same brushstrokes and all that, and 460 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: somehow we see different different things. Much like I've pointed 461 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: out in the past, which upsets people like Justin and 462 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: Cincinnati and Robbie the Mariner fan and others, that a 463 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 1: social media post is like a painting. It is a 464 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: subjective situation. Now, objectively, Rivers has not thrown an NFL 465 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 1: pass since people still were buying NFTs. Remember it when 466 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: like for a year people, Oh, I gotta buy an 467 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: NFT It's the biggest thing in the world. And when's 468 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 1: the last time you heard about NFTs? Now subjectively, subjectively, 469 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers strolls back in the league with a higher rating. 470 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: How about this? He has not played in five years, 471 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: he's forty four years old. He's a grandfather. And Philip 472 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: Rivers has a higher rating than Russell Wilson, should Dur Sanders, 473 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: Shaud Dur Sanders, and Tyrod Taylor, and also Kenny Pickett, 474 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 1: who's expected to start for the Raiders this weekend. So 475 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: that's not analytics, that's just EA Sports firing up the 476 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: nostalgic machine. And it's like a leaf blower at six am. 477 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: Now you're not supposed to use that until like nine am. 478 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: Why you're doing it at six am? Rivers is essentially 479 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite, and he's slinging memories and 480 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: not missiles, talking about how he could have taken state 481 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: at a at a house somewhere in the sticks out 482 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: in Indiana and tossing a nice steak across the yard. 483 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: But what the Madden ecosystem. It's a cocktail of math myth. 484 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: There's marketing involved, so you got to take that into account. 485 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: And I use malor math. They use their own math there. 486 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: But the ratings methinks are inflated. I believe they're inflated. Now, 487 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: final point to Vegas we go, that's right, to Vegas 488 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: Viva Las Vegas, the Raiders. Are we going to talk 489 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: about Geno Smith being sent to the showers? No, no, 490 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: we're not. It's an injury, allegedly an injury. But the 491 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: second consecutive year, the Raiders have done something right. They 492 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: have done something right. What have they done well? They 493 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 1: certainly haven't brought the razzle dazzle to the field. They 494 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: don't have that. The season has been yet aget a 495 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: boondoggle in Vegas. But for the second consecutive year, the 496 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: people that build Board magazine, yes, that's apparently still in business. 497 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: They have ranked a llegiant stadium, the Rumba on your 498 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: way into Vegas. The Rumba in Vegas as the top 499 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: grossing stadium in the United States from the Atlantic to 500 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: the Pacific. It is at the very top. It is 501 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: number one. The home of the Las Vegas Raiders is 502 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: the top grossing stadium in the US. The report indicated 503 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: that they the gross revenue they made over gross revenue 504 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: over two hundred and eighty one million between October of 505 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four and September of twenty twenty five. That 506 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: figure also placed the venue second in the world. As 507 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: in the Blue Marble, we all share every man, woman 508 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: and child. The matter of your religion, doesn't matter, your makeup, 509 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: your language. We all share it, right, We all share 510 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: the same dumb plan. So the question the Raiders the 511 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: Raiders Allegiant Stadium, I mean, I know Scrooge is very happy. 512 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: Manuel and Guardina, they're beaming with pride. Just great moments 513 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: in Raider history. Great moments in Raider history. The Raiders 514 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: Allegiant Stadium, though, being named the highest grossing US venue 515 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: for the second year, is blank. I need a word 516 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: or words to fill in the blank. So the Raiders 517 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: Allegiant Stadium being the second highest grossing US venue for 518 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: the second year is blank. I need a blank or blank? 519 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: I need two words or one word. So my words 520 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 1: I jotted down here bargain shopping, as in a Faustian bargain, 521 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: meaning that Mark Davis and we talked about this last 522 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: night with our buddy from the Bay Area. That Mark 523 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: Davis strolls up to the crossroads. There he hands over 524 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: the franchisees soul and he tells the dark Lord. He says, 525 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: back up the brains truck, Bang bang. Two hundred and 526 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: eighty one million dollars later, the mission has accomplished. The 527 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: place is printing money. However, the Raider identity, like the 528 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: Raider identity, the black Hole menace, the grit, the grime, 529 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: the prison yard aura of the Raiders, gone gone gone. 530 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: It vaporized in my life, my entire childhood, growing up 531 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: and as an adult. The Raiders were always just They 532 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: were the baddest sobs around. They were, and that fan 533 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 1: base has gotten old. They've been replaced by tourists and influencers, 534 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: the worst possible people. Influencers, guys who think a turnover 535 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 1: chain is something you can buy at the gift shop 536 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: at Caesar's Palace. You walk around a Legion stadium now 537 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: and it feels less like the Oakland Raiders or even 538 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: the la Raiders, and more like you're waiting for Carrot 539 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: Top to come roaring out with a trunk of props 540 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: all kinds of crap and holding it up right, or 541 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: for Penn and Teller to make the defense disappear. Which, oh, 542 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: by the way, I think they've done that already. The 543 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: Raiders beat Penn and Teller, They've already made their defense disappear. 544 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 1: So is it a commercial success? Apps are freaking loutely 545 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: off the charts. Off the charts for Releegian Stadium. The 546 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 1: soul of the franchise, what was the Raiders? What made 547 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 1: the Raiders great? The fans commitment to excellence, that's gone, 548 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: that's on the clearance rack. And you got Tom Brady 549 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 1: who doesn't know what he's doing, but everyone's afraid to 550 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 1: rip Tom Brady because he's a god in football. You 551 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: can't criticize Tom Brady even though he's done worse than 552 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan did when he ran NBA teams. And so 553 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 1: what Mark Davis did. He cashed in and he's like, again, 554 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: it made a Faustian bargain. He cashed in. You're not 555 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: a football team anymore. The Raiders are a Vegas residency. 556 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: That's what they've become. Yeah, they wear shoulder pads and 557 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 1: they wear a helmet, and they have cleats on and 558 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: things like that, but they're Vegas residency. The residency doesn't 559 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 1: settle in the Vegas. They're just passing through Vegas and 560 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: given enough time, we might not make it. You know, 561 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 1: twenty thirty years down the line, a Legion Stadium will 562 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: be old and the Raiders somebody will be like, hey, 563 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,319 Speaker 1: why do you come back to La or go back 564 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 1: to Oakland, or somebody will be I want to I 565 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: grew up a Raider fan, and I don't want the 566 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 1: Raiders back. And that's what the Raiders do every thirty 567 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,799 Speaker 1: years or so. They just moved to a new town, 568 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: and that's how they're gonna I imagine Mark Davis will 569 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: be gone by them. But somebody else. I don't know 570 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,399 Speaker 1: if he has any know he can't. Do you have kids? 571 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 1: I don't think he has kids. Someone's going to get 572 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: the team and they'll be like, Hey, I want to 573 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: go back down memory Lane and go someplace else. 574 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller 575 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. 576 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, Here 577 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 1: we how about that? To the third degree? This is 578 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: one big Ben gets quilled Google loop. 579 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,879 Speaker 5: It was reported on Wednesday that there are people around 580 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,399 Speaker 5: the league who believe that Eagle GM Howie Roseman could 581 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 5: draft a quarterback quote fairly early in the twenty twenty 582 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 5: six NFL draft. 583 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: Ben, are you buying that? Yeah? It makes sense. If 584 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,319 Speaker 1: you have a good quarterback, you draft one, and then 585 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: if you need him, that's great. If not, you can 586 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 1: trade them. And the Green Bay Packers used to do 587 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: this when they had Brett Farb and even Aaron Rodgers. 588 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 1: So it's it's smart business. I don't know why you 589 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:33,360 Speaker 1: wouldn't draft a quarterback. 590 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 5: Next, as the Bears prepared to face off against the 591 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,239 Speaker 5: Browns this weekend, Caleb Williams told reporters that he's gonna 592 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 5: try to make sure that Miles Garrett doesn't get the 593 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,320 Speaker 5: sack record on us and on me. Ben Garrett is 594 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 5: at twenty he needs three more to have sole possession 595 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 5: of the record. Do you think he does it against Chicago? 596 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,399 Speaker 1: Well? Not if they run the ball every play. There 597 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 1: is a way to avoid Miles Garrett getting sacks. Just 598 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 1: don't throw the ball. He can't get a sack. And yeah, 599 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,359 Speaker 1: I know he's gonna get the record, but if Caleb 600 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 1: willum should get ride a ball quickly that's what you're 601 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: supposed to do, he will not get it against the Bears. 602 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,760 Speaker 5: Next, the NFL CBA with the officials expires this offseason, 603 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 5: and something we're heading towards replacement refs again. The NFL 604 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:14,240 Speaker 5: is reportedly pushing for performance based contracts and the referees 605 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 5: associations pushing back on that. How do you think this 606 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 5: plays out? 607 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 1: Ben, I kind of understand why they're coming up. It's 608 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: very subjective officiating, so I understand why the officials referee, 609 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 1: like the Referee Association is upset by that. Because the 610 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,800 Speaker 1: NFL is a crooked operation. There'll be some funny business. 611 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 1: They'll work it out, obviously in the end they'll get 612 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 1: a deal done. But man, it's a mess. How do 613 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: we doubt you pass? 614 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 3: There? It is? 615 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 1: Put it on the board.
