So does 18 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, who got hurt and who knows we'll see 19 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: him again this year next year? Who knows? So? Not 20 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,199 Speaker 1: good times to be on the forty nine ers.

You know, I 56 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: guess most people would consider me a forty nine Ers fan. 57 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: I think my fandom is a lot different at forty 58 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: years old than it definitely was when I was growing up. Also, 59 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: given what I do like, I would take a great story, 60 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: a great podcast, more people listening that. That to me 61 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: is way more important than the forty nine ers winning 62 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: and losing. Though I want them to win, I was 63 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: excited to watch them try to make it back to 64 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: the super Bowl. But this season, and most people in 65 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: my life, my fiance, to most of my friends, to 66 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: most people I'm on text chains with from California are 67 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: massive forty nine er fans. And this season, like officially tonight, 68 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills put the I mean, the Packers 69 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: really started it, like they started kicking the forty nine 70 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: ers when they were down, and it felt like the 71 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills came off the top rope gave them 72 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: like the people's elbow, and then they climbed back to 73 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: the top rope and they did it again, and then 74 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: they were like, one more time, We'll just climb back 75 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: and we'll jump on you. And it was tough to watch. 76 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: It reminded me a little bit of especially tonight, because 77 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 1: you were just by the time that I had finished 78 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: recording with Colin, I had gone out to the living 79 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: room where the game was on, there was like five 80 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: minutes left in the first quarter. I look at Maria, 81 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: I'm like, how do they look. She's like, actually, they 82 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: looked pretty good. It's three nothing, Christian's already broken off 83 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: a big run. They look like they have some life. 84 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: And then within the next ten to fifteen minutes. The 85 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: game completely flipped Christian McCaffrey's season, and I think career 86 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: now are fair to be in question. We'll give to 87 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: that in a minute, but I feel like the forty 88 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: nine ers are a lot like Mike Tyson, the guy 89 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: we witnessed on Netflix fighting one of the Paul Brothers, 90 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: where the reason we all watched at least anyone of age, 91 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 1: Like I miss Mike Tyson in the eighties, in the 92 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: prime prime, but like Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, some of 93 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: the mid nineties craziness were I don't think Iron Mike 94 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: was still the same, but he was still pretty good. 95 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: And you're just hoping, like Kenny, just can we just 96 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: see one right and knock this motherfucker into oblivion? And 97 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: then you realize immediately you're like, yeah, this guy's like 98 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: fifty eight years old, can barely move. Honestly, He's more 99 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: likely to have a heart attack or get sick in 100 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: the ring than he is to connect with a powerful right. 101 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: And that's what I feel like when I'm watching the 102 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: forty nine ers, I'm hoping I can get some version 103 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: of this team that I've watched the last several years 104 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,679 Speaker 1: that wasn't just a contender. I mean they were clearly 105 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the league. They could 106 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: beat you anyway. As Collins were said tonight, like I've 107 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: seen this team go into Bay and frigid conditions and 108 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: win a freaking night playoff game as a big underdog, 109 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: and now you watch them in this snow game, they 110 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: look completely overmatched. Now clearly this is the season from hell. 111 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: Like Mike Tyson is fifty eight years old, who's had 112 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: a million injuries, who struggled to train because he got sick, 113 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: like it was kind of understandable. Somewhat is understandable. You 114 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: got Nick Boson Trent Williams, two of the best players 115 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: in the league nowhere to be found. You have Christian 116 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: McCaffery whose season begins with double achilles tendonitis, and now 117 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: he goes down, immediately takes himself out of the game. 118 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: They claim it's a knee. You know, this thing going 119 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: viral on the internet made it look like an achilles 120 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: regardless what it is. I feel pretty comfortable saying his 121 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: season is over and dependent on the severity of this 122 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: that we get over the next twenty four to forty 123 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: eight hours like, what's his career going to look like 124 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: moving forward? Because I thought this whole season, like just 125 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: play the achilles is gonna rip. It's gonna rip. We 126 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: see it all the time because you get all these 127 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: other injuries because you're overcompensating. It happens time and time 128 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: again before the actual injury happens. And then you see 129 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: tonight and I don't think we're seeing him the rest 130 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: of the season, And I think the question mark is 131 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: can he ever get back to that twenty three guy? 132 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: And if he can't, it's a problem for the forty 133 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: nine ers. They just extended and guaranteed him a lot 134 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: of money. They gave Brandon Ayuk a lot of money. 135 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: He had his knee shattered. Trent Williams, who is legitimately 136 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: injured right now, Like it's not just a problem that 137 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: he's injured, Like he's a problem for the forty nine 138 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: ers because he's a star left tackle and he's thirty five, 139 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: thirty six years old, Like they need to find his replacement. 140 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: But organizationally, philosophically, the way they build the team, they 141 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: don't even believe in fucking offensive lineman. They take wide 142 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: receivers in dbs Kyle's like, will does out scheme you 143 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: well as you saw tonight, you can't just outscheme everyone forever. 144 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: The NFL, more than college, is about the ex's in 145 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,119 Speaker 1: the os. But you still need some Jimmy's and the Joe's. 146 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: And you're watching this team be a shell of himself, 147 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: get to live and crap kicked out of him week 148 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: in week out, like super Bowl hangover. It's not a 149 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: super Bowl hangover. It's just this team fell apart. They 150 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: just came apart at the seams, all their best players, 151 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: their body stopped working, they got injured. But if Christian 152 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: McCaffrey's body's gonna stop working, Like, that's a problem for 153 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers when they give Brandon Ayuk one 154 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: hundred million dollar contract and his leg get shatters, Like, 155 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? Depend on Ricky Piersall who 156 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: got fucking shot the week before the season. The doctor 157 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: said ninety nine out of one hundred people that are 158 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: in that situation die. Tarvarius Ward, I mean, just the 159 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: situation from hell with his daughter. There's just I don't 160 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: even know what to say. I'm at a loss, but 161 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: I expect this team to lose moving forward, which at 162 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: this point it does not listen. The best part about 163 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: the NFL and the best part about the sport of football. 164 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: Anyone can win whenever. It's why the game is dominating 165 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: our lives. When it comes to dedicating time NBA ratings 166 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: in the tank Baseball, no one watches a pitch till 167 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 1: the playoffs, and if it's not Yankees Dodgers in the 168 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: World Series, those ratings aren't that high. We consume football 169 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: because we know every single game, college or pro, anyone 170 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: can win. You're getting everyone's best effort. But at this 171 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 1: point in time, like the forty nine, ers are better 172 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: losing out because winning seven or eight games when you're 173 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: not going to the playoffs does you no good. There 174 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: is a big difference of having the eighth or ninth 175 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: pick in the draft than having the fifteenth or sixteenth, 176 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: because it's not just the first round, it's literally every round. 177 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: And sometimes when your season just falls apart and you 178 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,559 Speaker 1: still have some pieces like there are still some unknown 179 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: like it, can Trent be healthy? Is he going to 180 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: be at a high level moving forward? At his age? 181 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: You know you got to get Bosa healthy. Who knows. 182 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: With McCaffrey, I think we got major question marks. You 183 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: didn't just tear his ACL like it was a major 184 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: multiple ligament injury, so can he come back? Like obviously 185 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: there are question marks there, but maybe this draft. You know, 186 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: if you have top ten picks in every round, you 187 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: know you can turn it around fast in the NFL. 188 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: But this season is an utter disaster. I mean, at 189 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: this point in time, it's kind of an embarrassment. But 190 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: one variable that has to change because in football, like 191 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: in life, like in any industry that you or I 192 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: work in, you have to be fluid. You can't get 193 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: stuck with an idea that you had a year ago 194 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,839 Speaker 1: or two years ago and get new information and not 195 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: pivot right. You can love a stock one year and 196 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: three years later you want no part of it. And 197 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: I've always said brock Perty is a good player. He 198 00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: really is. He's a good player. But you, Josh Allen, 199 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: is what a max quarterback looks like. That is what 200 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 1: a guy looks like that you are willing to give 201 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,959 Speaker 1: fifty sixty million dollars a year and have no hesitation 202 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: when you give one of the biggest contracts in the NFL. 203 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: And obviously he's a freaks freak he is I think 204 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: one of the most talented players in the history of 205 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: the NFL. And he's in this bucket with a couple 206 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: other guys that are max players you don't even hesitate. 207 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Justin Herbert and those 208 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: are guys and Joe Burrow that you just pay premiums 209 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: and you don't even think. You never second guess it 210 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: because you never have to. With those guys, even with 211 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: their bad games, they are the type guys you want 212 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: anytime that you are thinking about giving a guy fifty 213 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 1: or sixty million, and you have to question, like, I 214 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: don't think my guy's as good as those guys until 215 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: I absolutely have to and impressed I'm not doing it. 216 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: And with Brock Purdy at this point in time, and 217 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: again this isn't he's a fine player, right. I think 218 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: he's better than a lot of the media talks about him. 219 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: And he's probably not as good as the way that 220 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: Kyle and internally they hyped him up to be. But 221 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 1: he's a guy that can, I would say, funnel in 222 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: and out of somewhere between the seventh eighth best guy 223 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: and fifteen sixteenth, and over the course of a season. 224 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: His last couple of seasons, you know, fell in somewhere 225 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: in that range. But I can't pay this guy like 226 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: I pay Josh Allen, like I pay Patrick Mahomes, like 227 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: I pay Lamar Jackson. If I do that, I'm going 228 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: to have problems. That doesn't mean he's not a player 229 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: that I don't want as my starting quarterback. He can't 230 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 1: grip a ball at inclement weather. I play in the 231 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 1: Bay Area, we don't play a lot of games like that, 232 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: So that's a variable we don't have. Like in Buffalo, 233 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: he wouldn't even be an option at quarterback, you know, 234 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: in Green Bay, in some of the Kansas City couldn't 235 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,559 Speaker 1: play there, right, But in San Francisco we have a shot. 236 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: We play eight nine home games there. We play every 237 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: year in La in a dome, Arizona in a dome U. 238 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: It's a controlled environment for the most most you know 239 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: of the time. But just watch the game like it's 240 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: not being a hater either, And I feel like I'm 241 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: on the side now of all these other people. I 242 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: think brock Perty is a good player. The version I've 243 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: seen the last couple of weeks, I mean obviously gives 244 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: you pause. But the forty nine ers are a fucking 245 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: disaster from a coaching standpoint. With Kyle Shanahan, the defensive 246 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: coordinator is a guy ninety nine percent of football fans 247 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to point out of the lineup. I 248 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: don't think he would have been on the defensive coordinator 249 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: given the stakes that were on the line for this franchise, 250 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: probably of any other team. But Kyle kind of had 251 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: to fire Steve Wilks last year despite going to the 252 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: Super Bowl because Fred Warner and Nick Bosta didn't think 253 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: he knew what he was doing and they weren't wrong, 254 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 1: and then his options at defensive coordinator were kind of limited. 255 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: It wasn't a great field. So like, do you get 256 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: a new defensive coordinator, you're basically your fourth one in 257 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: four years. Weird spot, you, you know. Compare that to 258 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, who Josh Allen makes up for a 259 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: lot of things, right, I mean, let's just face it, 260 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: when you have a player that's that good, even when 261 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: you have other issues going on, you just ride them 262 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: like Secretariat. And I've been beating this drum for a 263 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: long time. If my quarterback does not have traits that 264 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: resemble some of that you would have to fire me 265 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: before I sign up for two hundred plus million dollars 266 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: on a quarterback, because I'm basically just signing up to loose. 267 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: I have been one of the harshest critics every time 268 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: I see these NBA players, it's like, wait, they just 269 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: gave who two hundred million dollars? Is that guy even 270 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: the top fifteen player in the league. No, but he 271 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: could be. Maybe it's like they're gonna lose. I mean 272 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: you just see it time and time again, and football 273 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: you to not be like that. And it kind of 274 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: became that like, yeah, two was good, but you're fantom 275 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: how much Trevor Lawrence t you're fandom how much? Like 276 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: that's crazy. There are four or five guys that you 277 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: that deserve it, that are worth it. Any other guy 278 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: you're playing with fire. You're seriously playing with fire. Jalen 279 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: Hirts was playing with fire. You had Saquon Barkley, who 280 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: might win the MVP looks a lot better. So I 281 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: just think, man, you gotta be very, very very careful. 282 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: And the forty nine ers are going into the toilet, 283 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: while I think it's fair to say the Buffalo Bills 284 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: are now he and They've been this for the last 285 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: couple of years, but a serious Super Bowl contender, and 286 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: their organization deserves a lot of credit. You know, they 287 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: made an offensive coordinator movie a year ago with Joe Brady, 288 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: who they look for. Just much better running the football. 289 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: The emergence of James Cook, the rookie from Kentucky Davis. 290 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: They have a physical element to them. Right before a 291 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: couple of years ago, just felt like they had to 292 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: chuck it all around the yard, which works a lot 293 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: of the time, but a little like the Aaron Rodgers 294 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: McCarthy Packers, it helps a lot when you have a 295 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: running element. When I was with the Eagles and they 296 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl, they played us in the first round. 297 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure James Starks went for like one hundred 298 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: and forty yards. Like having a guy that you can 299 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: hand the ball off to in colder weather game, especially 300 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: in January, helps And now the Bills, in my opinion, besides, 301 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: like the Lions and the Eagles are playing as well 302 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: as anybody in the NFL, the Chiefs have a better record. 303 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: We saw the Bills thoroughly outplay them, and the Chiefs 304 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: somehow are gonna go like fifteen to two, but don't 305 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: even look that good. I did write down the schedules 306 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: of can Buffalo get the number one overall seat, because 307 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: I know Kansas City went in there and beat them. 308 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: I know a lot of these people really really well 309 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: with the Chiefs. They all think Josh Allen is as 310 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: good as it gets and is as good of a 311 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: player as they've competed against, now just in the regular season, 312 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 1: but in the biggest games of their dynasty, and I 313 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: think most would tell you he's the best player we've 314 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 1: played against. And you look at the Bills. They're ten 315 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,479 Speaker 1: and two in the Chiefs are eleven to one. Here 316 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: are the Bills. They both have five games left. The 317 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: Bills play the Rams this upcoming week in LA. Now, 318 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 1: the Bills didn't have to travel this week, the Rams 319 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: coming from New Orleans, so I don't want to say advantage, 320 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 1: but you just get a little like they got to 321 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: come back. They're probably in the air as I'm recording 322 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: this podcast. Then they go to the Lions, which obviously 323 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: the Lions have a million injuries right now, but they 324 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 1: are going to get the benefit because Detroit plays on Thursday. 325 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: They're gonna get a mini buy. So that's gonna be 326 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 1: double advantage Detroit games at home, and we're coming off 327 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: the bye, which is going to be a really really 328 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 1: hard game for Detroit given their injuries against the Green 329 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: Bay Packers. So who knows, they could be coming off 330 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 1: a loss and having this all time great season, could 331 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: be desperate, you know, to try to maintain their number 332 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: one overall seed. Last three games for the Bills are 333 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: a joke. They play the Patriots twice in the Jets, 334 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: all at home. So I think it's realistic to say 335 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 1: the Bills can go four and one in these last 336 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: five games. It's not out of the realm possibility to 337 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: go five and oh. But I do think it's fair 338 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: like not being overly aggressive to go Yeah, I can 339 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: see four and one. And if you go four and one, 340 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 1: that puts them at fourteen and three. And to have 341 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 1: the same record with Kansas City, which you know, to 342 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: get the number one overall seed you have to have 343 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: the same record. You need them to go three and 344 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: two down the stretch. Now, next Sunday night is a 345 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 1: fantastic game Kansas City hosting the Chargers. That is sign 346 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 1: me the fuck up for that one. So that's gonna 347 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: be a really hard game. I think that is fair 348 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,640 Speaker 1: to say, and I'm I am an Andy Reid Brett 349 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: Veach guy, but that's a losable game, right And I 350 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,479 Speaker 1: think Chiefs fans would say, the way we're playing, I mean, 351 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: we could lose to anybody. Then you go to Cleveland, 352 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: which is just a weird spot. If Cleveland, I'm still trying, 353 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 1: there's a tough out. They get the Texans at home, 354 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 1: who are not a good team but kind of like 355 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: a shittier version of the Chiefs at Pittsburgh, which is 356 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: gonna be hard, and then hosting the Broncos, so it's 357 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 1: just a tough little stretch. I do think three and 358 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: two would be on the table, and then you would 359 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: have both teams at fourteen and three, which assuming I 360 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: guess Pittsburgh they have three losses because they lost to Cleveland, 361 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: would have to run the table as well. And you know, 362 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: if you go four and one, they would not have 363 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: So you'd basically have these two teams competing for the 364 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: number one overall seat. I think right now, if I 365 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: was a betting man as we sit here on December one, 366 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: I would bet on the Bills having the number one 367 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: overall seat. The way they're playing the momentum they have 368 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: and if the Chiefs, the Chiefs lose to the Chargers, 369 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 1: I think it's very very much on the table, and 370 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: it advantage Bills for sure, But I think we're gonna 371 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: have a really really good, fun end of the year. 372 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 1: And listen, I think now the NBA races is between 373 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: two people. I think it's Josh Allen and Saquon Barkley. 374 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: And I listen, I think Josh Allen is a deserved 375 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: MVP candidate and how good of a player he is 376 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: and what he's done to this franchise, he deserves to 377 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: have an MVP on his resume. What Saquon is doing 378 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: is just stupid. Like you watch him and it's easy 379 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: like last year with Lamar, this year with Josh Lamar 380 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: for a large portion of this season, Mahomes in years past, 381 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: Brady and Manning. At times, it's so easy to give 382 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: to the quarterback. It's just our default move. It's what 383 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: was so awesome this year about college football is like 384 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: we didn't even have to pretend, like just give it 385 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: to the quarterback. There wasn't even a quarterback that deserved it. 386 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: So it's basically Travis Hunter is getting it. One, he's 387 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: a deserving candidate, but two, he doesn't even need to 388 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: compete with any of these guys. And in the NFL, 389 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 1: you're always gonna have a couple of quarterbacks having great seasons. 390 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:59,719 Speaker 1: But what Saquon's done to the Eagles is just I'd 391 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 1: be with them splitting it. I really would. We've seen 392 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: it in the past. We have seen Peyton Manning split 393 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 1: it with Eddie George. We have seen Brett Faarr split 394 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 1: it with Barry Sanders. So I'm cool with that. Now 395 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: now that I said Eddie George and Peyton Manning, it 396 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: doesn't even sound right that he split it with Eddie George. 397 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: Let me just look this up really quick because I'm 398 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: saying it out loud. It's like, hey, George win the MVP. 399 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if he did who Peyton Manning split 400 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 1: his he split his MVP? Was he split it with somebody? Maybe? Oh, 401 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: Steve mcdair. Maybe he definitely split it those two quarterbacks. 402 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: That's a bad argument, but I would go I'd go 403 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,199 Speaker 1: Barry Sanders and Brett FARRV. That's what this feels like 404 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: a little bit to me, And honestly, that's a pretty 405 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: good comp given that I think Josh Allen's comp is 406 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: far V in h you know, he's more far than Lway, 407 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: though I didn't really see Elway in the eighties, who 408 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: I think had some FARV in him. But what a 409 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: year for those two guys. Get in some holiday shopping 410 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: done this weekend. Pick up some touchdowns.

Right, 436 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins throws four interceptions and everybody, and I promise 437 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 1: you everybody is gonna shit on him tomorrow and rightfully so. 438 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you get paid one hundred million dollars, you 439 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 1: throw four picks a pick six, just an atrocious game. 440 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: You could be a better player, right, you could be 441 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: I don't know you name it and throw four interceptions 442 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: and we're gonna make funny. You're a highly paid guy 443 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: expected to lead a team to the playoffs playing another 444 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: playoff team at home and get embarrassed like that, you're 445 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 1: gonna get crushed. But like, should Kirk Cousins be on 446 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 1: the Falcons because their season they're now six and six, 447 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: they look like crap? I mean, they really do. They're 448 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 1: gonna win the division? You would think. I know, Tampa 449 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: is also six and six, but Baker's banged up right now, 450 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: and the Falcons have beat them twice, so I would 451 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: still bet on Atlanta winning the division. But why did 452 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: they sign a quarterback and then draft another guy at 453 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:53,640 Speaker 1: pick eight? It never made any sense. It's because when 454 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 1: they signed Kirk Cousins in the middle of March, they 455 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: had no intention on drafting Michael Pennix, and then over 456 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: the course of the next three or four weeks they 457 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 1: fell in love with them. And now this week all 458 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna hear is like, should they just start Michael Pennix? 459 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: And I think we'll look back if this team ends 460 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: up winning nine games and gets their ass kicked in 461 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: the first round of the playoffs. Like, why didn't Michael 462 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 1: Penix just play this year? Couldn't you have won eight 463 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 1: or nine games with him and been much more equipped? 464 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: And then not have used that money on Kirk Cousins, 465 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: who was reported by Jeremy Fowler that if it does 466 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: not go well this was a couple of days ago, 467 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 1: they will trade him. It's like, why are you acting 468 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: like you have that much leverage. Cousins has a no 469 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: trade clause. He makes a shitload of money, and his 470 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: trade value now is diminishing by the week. And he's 471 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: a thirty six thirty seven year old guy with a 472 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:53,640 Speaker 1: previous major injury, whose skill set is probably trending down. 473 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 1: We'll trade him to who for what? Like who thinks 474 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,199 Speaker 1: he has much value? So I just think and it's like, 475 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,719 Speaker 1: if you have to eat some money to facilitate a trade, 476 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,959 Speaker 1: you're just wasting two years of the Penix contract. That's 477 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: what bad organizations do. They got cocky, Uh, they didn't 478 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: have a plan, and now they have this situation. I 479 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: never understood anyone that defended them, because anyone that worked 480 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 1: in a front office could have told you, like you 481 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 1: would have known Pennox was gonna be there at eight 482 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: during the fall, but their coaches didn't get involved till 483 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 1: after free agency, and then they fell for the guy. 484 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 1: And that's what happens when you have all these moving 485 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: parts and no one knows what they're doing yet. Look 486 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,400 Speaker 1: at Philadelphia, we talked about Saquon Barkley being an MVP candidate. 487 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 1: He has resurrected Jalen's career because let's face that. For 488 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: last year, we're like, it's Jalen, this situation, all this money, 489 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: they got problems. Now it's like, Jalen, you just got 490 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: a chill man, like, I'll help carry you. Make some 491 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: throws to aj makeup throws to God or and we'll 492 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: kick some ass. Well, the Saquon move didn't happen today. 493 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: It didn't happen three weeks ago. It happened in March 494 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: when any team could have had him for you know, 495 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: the Eagles gave him twenty seven million dollars guaranteed. What 496 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: if some other team in the league gave him thirty 497 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 1: five thirty eight. That's not He's not turning that down. 498 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: Zach Bond, who is going to be an All Pro linebacker, 499 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: signing Vic Fangio, Signing that guy and turning him into 500 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 1: an impact player. Knowing in the draft that you could 501 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: sit there and get Quinnion Mitchell, who has been one 502 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: of the best corners in the draft and then trade 503 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: up to get Cooper dejen. So last year their secondary 504 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: was a joke and Jalen was falling apart because it's 505 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: just their offense was out of whack. Well, then what 506 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: happens this year? Their secondary is dramatically better. Why young 507 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 1: star corner, awesome slot corner who slammed Derrick Henry on 508 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: the ground, a running back to take a ton of 509 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: pressure off the highly paid quarterback and make life easier 510 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 1: on everybody if that happened in March. So while the 511 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 1: Eagles had a plan, the Falcons are just flying blind. 512 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 1: Look at the Minnesota Vikings, who are ten and two. 513 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: Not in a million years, And I was rooting for 514 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: Sam Donald. If you told me this year went well, 515 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: what would their record be on December first and you 516 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 1: were saying, hey, it's going well, twelve games in the season, 517 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 1: I'd be like at seven and five, eight and four 518 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: would feel really bold if you said ten and two, 519 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 1: and Donald's on pace for well over thirty touchdowns and 520 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: they are right there competing for the number one overall seed. 521 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: Look around the league, some of these teams with quarterback issues. 522 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: The Raiders quarterback situation is an all time joke. I mean, 523 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: it's a complete embarrassment. They could have signed Sam Donald. 524 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: They gave Gardner Minshew. I think fifteen million dollars. Sam 525 00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: Donald is dramatically better. Obviously it Minshe was injured now 526 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: and out for the season, but it is not even 527 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: comparable between the two individuals when they play quarterback. And 528 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: you look right now at Minnesota. Their season was made 529 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: not during the season. It was made well before the 530 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: draft because they already knew they liked JJ McCarthy. We 531 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: had been hearing about that since the fall, but they 532 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: also knew, like, we don't plan on playing this guy, 533 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: and who knows, depending on how the draft, we don't 534 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: control it, maybe we don't get them. We're going to 535 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: get a guy that isn't free, but we're not breaking 536 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,479 Speaker 1: the bank for and who we think we can compete with, 537 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: and they're competing where you look at the Bears and 538 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: you go, guys, this coaching staff is a joke. You 539 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: cannot keep Matt Eberflus. It makes no sense. They're like, 540 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: I'm telling you we like them. We think his new hairdow, 541 00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: his new beard style, his late wins against complet deletely 542 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: irrelevant teams who were out of the playoff mix are 543 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: enough to keep them. And then by Thanksgiving, his offensive coordinator, 544 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: his defensive coordinator, which was him and him were fired. 545 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: So we didn't even basically bade it till twenty four 546 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: hours after Thanksgiving the Bears had already fired their offensive coordinator, 547 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: their defensive coordinator, and their head coach. These shitty organizations, man, 548 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: we make such a big deal in season like sometimes 549 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: like listen the forty nine ers season unraveled when literally 550 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: everyone got hurt. There's nothing like no one can foresee 551 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: that coming. But when you have coaching malpractice in coaching situations, 552 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: that's on the organization and they stuck by him and 553 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: honestly for him. The stories that came out today going 554 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: in the locker room after that moment on Thanksgiving of 555 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: not calling the time out when Caleb gets sacked, which 556 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: is gross negligence. You could say fired for cause after 557 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: that moment to then go into the locker room and 558 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: try to say adversity, this will make us tougher. Guys. 559 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 1: Sometimes you gotta climb through the mud. You gotta live 560 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: in the shit to make it to the mansion and 561 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: live at the top of the hill. And Jalen Johnson 562 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: just cuts him off and starts lighting him up like 563 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: a Christmas tree. Any human being who has ever worked 564 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: in an environment with and listen, you try to be professional, 565 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: but whoever is your superior, your manager, your boss. After 566 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: a while, you go, this guy's a buffoon, even if 567 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: he's a nice guy and means well, You're like, at 568 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: the end of the day, our job in football is 569 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: the win or lose. Our job in business is to 570 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: make money. And you start not having success and you go, well, like, 571 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: I'm doing everything I can. I think it's working, and 572 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,239 Speaker 1: this guy is holding us back. Every human being has 573 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: a breaking point. I don't care how professional you are. 574 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: I don't care be a pro you know, handle it 575 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: the right way, be mature about it. There comes a 576 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: point in time in all of our lives where you 577 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: draw a line in the sand and you say not today, 578 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: this ends today. So for Jalen Johnson to light him 579 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: up and basically destroy him for that second and like, 580 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: we're not having this new Rockney, Everything's gonna be all right. 581 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: We'll keep swinging conversation anymore. Those days are done. Props 582 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: to him now. It should have happened a couple weeks ago. 583 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: It feels like that was the straw that broke the 584 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: camel's back. But I've been saying this forever and I 585 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: will continue to beat this drum. If Kevin Warren is 586 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 1: the guy leading your search, and by all accounts by 587 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: reporting this morning, it is going to be him, and 588 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: Ryan Poles will assist him. You got no shot, absolutely none, 589 00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: because no coach worth their salt is going to answer 590 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 1: to Kevin Warren. It's not gonna happen. It never will happen. 591 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,960 Speaker 1: And if I was a Bears fan, this is the 592 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: helpless part about doing this and loving a team, is 593 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: that if the owner can do whatever the owner wants 594 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: to do, and for whatever reason, I don't know if 595 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 1: you know Kevin Warren has nudes on the mccaskeys, I 596 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: don't know what he does, but they have basically entrusted 597 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 1: him with the keys to the entire organization that if 598 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears went up for sale, I mean, I 599 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: think it's fair to say inflation six to seven billion. 600 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: I mean, they got to be one of the most 601 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: valuable properties in all of professional sports in America. And 602 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 1: to watch this guy who has accomplished in terms of 603 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: football like you want to run point on the stadium. 604 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: You want to deal with that stuff? PSLs? What flavor 605 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: hot dogs you want at the kiosk, whether we're gonna 606 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: go with pepsi or coke? You know who get what? 607 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: Beers get the handles? You know what do our seats 608 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,319 Speaker 1: to our PSL holders? Do we get USB outlets? Have 609 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,840 Speaker 1: at it? Man fucking attack. But when it comes to 610 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 1: hiring a coach and setting the tone, there was a 611 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 1: there was an article. There were a couple articles that 612 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,800 Speaker 1: I read this week, and one thing that I saw 613 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: in the Athletic really jumped out to me. Let me 614 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 1: pull it up really quick, because it just hit me. 615 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: I was like, I can't believe that this is in there. 616 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 1: It said. After the loss to the Patriots, meetings at 617 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: Hallis Hall grew tense. Some team leaders even floated the 618 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:46,439 Speaker 1: idea of benching Williams. That's when Waldron got fired. Two 619 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:51,399 Speaker 1: days later, Waldron was fired. A team source said that 620 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:59,760 Speaker 1: Warren wanted changes. A team source said that Warren wanted changes. 621 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 1: If I was a Bears fan and I read that line, 622 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: even if I knew it was true, and it was clear, 623 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 1: we all kind of felt that this guy was in charge. 624 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,919 Speaker 1: Which to me it was obvious during Hard Knocks when 625 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,720 Speaker 1: Ryan Poles had to give him the details of DJ 626 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: Morris contract, I was floored. Usually when you see this 627 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 1: stuff like Howie Roseman would give Jeffrey Lurry the details, 628 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 1: you know, Perogue and John Lynch would give Jed Yorke 629 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: the details, Like that's the hierarchy of the way it 630 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 1: goes right. Let's need McVeigh talked to Kronky to give 631 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 1: him the details. That's fucking insane. I just I cannot 632 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: get over that they are letting this guy run the organization. 633 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 1: And as just a fan of football and the Bears 634 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 1: clearly have a lot of talent, I enjoy watching Caleb 635 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: like he's a fun player. These last couple of weeks 636 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: with Thomas Brown has been enjoyable, even for as shitty 637 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: as they looked in the first half, Like he started 638 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 1: gaining some life in that second half like that, that 639 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: was an enjoyable moment. And I think, if you're a 640 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,799 Speaker 1: Bears fan, like, if this Thomas Brown thing goes right, 641 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: like it wouldn't even be the craziest thing if they 642 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,839 Speaker 1: hired him. Clearly, Caleb and the offense looks a lot 643 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:19,440 Speaker 1: better if guys like him former player, I wouldn't do it, 644 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 1: but nothing against the guy. Just I think the forty 645 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 1: nine Ers played the Bears next week, so I kind 646 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: of like the Bears in the interim coach boost the 647 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 1: Jets today. Aaron was asked after the game. They were 648 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 1: up twenty one to seven and driving to potentially make 649 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: it like a three score game. Are the Jets gonna 650 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 1: blow this team out like forty five to ten. Seattle's 651 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,319 Speaker 1: just got a huge win at Arizona. You know, the 652 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 1: Niners were playing the Bills. Their season is probably over. 653 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 1: Arizona had or was losing to Minnesota right falling apart, 654 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 1: and the Rams had an away game, So you're like this, 655 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,839 Speaker 1: Seattle's gonna blow this and just be six and six 656 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 1: with these other teams. And then all of a sudden, 657 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,440 Speaker 1: Aaron threw that pick six and the rest history. And 658 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 1: when you watch Aaron play, I'm not going to beat 659 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 1: a dead horse. He clearly isn't the same guy. Of 660 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 1: course he's not. He's forty years old coming off in Achilles, 661 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: but he is so inaccurate. That's the thing that jumps 662 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 1: out to me. He's always been able to place a 663 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: ball like Greg Maddox as a pitcher, except if he 664 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 1: was Greg Maddox, he would also throw ninety seven miles 665 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 1: an hour. But Greg Maddox could spot pitches, and that 666 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 1: was Aaron Rodgers, except he threw such hard fastballs exactly 667 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 1: where he wanted them to go. And now you watch him, 668 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 1: I don't feel like he knows where the ball is going. 669 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 1: And whether that's his confidence is lost, whether that's just 670 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 1: his touch lost, whether that's just a combination of everything, 671 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,879 Speaker 1: just a guy getting old. But we're watching a guy 672 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 1: be a shell of his former self and he's all 673 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,319 Speaker 1: always been a little bit weird in quirky. So when 674 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 1: he's asked after the game about his struggles and he 675 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 1: says there are eleven guys on offense, It's like, yeah, guys, 676 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the Aaron Rodgers experience. He's not 677 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 1: exactly mister foxhole when shit hits the fan. He's also 678 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 1: a mercenary. He barely fucking knows these guys. I think 679 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: he gives a shit about this coaching staff, right. I 680 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,719 Speaker 1: think even when he got weird in Green Bay, those 681 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 1: were still his guys and there was a lot of 682 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 1: equity built up. This is the problem and you see 683 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,240 Speaker 1: it in college sports. You see it in the NBA 684 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 1: all the time. Sometimes you see it in baseball. When 685 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 1: you get this mercenary mode of just go wherever I 686 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,880 Speaker 1: can for the most money and best for myself, you 687 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,960 Speaker 1: don't actually give a shit about the team. And in football, 688 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: like the teammates kind of matter, and you can fake 689 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: it a little bit, especially in the public, but like 690 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 1: your actions speak louder than words. And you're watching a 691 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 1: guy and listen, he's tough, he's getting pepper and he 692 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 1: keeps getting up, but like, does he really care about 693 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,800 Speaker 1: the Jets? Not at all? And now that his game's lost. 694 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 1: I told Colin this earlier today, I feel pretty confident 695 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,920 Speaker 1: he's not going to play next year because if you 696 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,799 Speaker 1: were doing something, he's amassed a ton of money. He's 697 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: made hundreds of millions of dollars. Now, there is no 698 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,799 Speaker 1: other job that I think he's on the hook for 699 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 1: like thirty five thirty eight million dollars next year. There 700 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,800 Speaker 1: is no job in America that would pay Aaron Rodgers 701 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five that type money. No, there's no 702 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 1: role he could take that's like what fortune five hundred 703 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:44,240 Speaker 1: CEOs make. I mean these athletes making this type coin. 704 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,720 Speaker 1: I mean, it's the greatest job in the history of America. 705 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:48,400 Speaker 1: When it comes to being a WUT two employee, it 706 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:52,800 Speaker 1: does not get any better, absolutely does not, because, unlike 707 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,840 Speaker 1: the CEO of one of these Fortune five hundred companies 708 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 1: making twenty thirty forty million dollars, when they failed, they 709 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 1: get fucking fired. He gets fired first. When you're a player, 710 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 1: everyone around you, you are the last to go. But 711 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,479 Speaker 1: I have a hard time seeing it, man, I really 712 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 1: he can't run away. He looks miserable. This team sucks, 713 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: this franchise is awful. Do you want to hurt your legacy? 714 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:20,719 Speaker 1: Like ultimately with Tom, he had made the playoffs a 715 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: couple of years and he tried to eke out one 716 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: more year and he just said, yeah, it's probably a mistake. 717 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 1: I think if Tom could do it all over again, 718 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 1: he would not play that last season. I think Aaron 719 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,080 Speaker 1: was so motivated because of the injury, and I totally understand. 720 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 1: But then he gets the opportunity he has to watch 721 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:40,480 Speaker 1: himself on film. He looks terrible, and I've heard some 722 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:44,080 Speaker 1: people say, well, look at his statistics compared to you 723 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,759 Speaker 1: can't box score scout Aaron Rodgers this year, because if 724 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 1: you have been watching him his entire career and you 725 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 1: watch him right now, you go, who the hell is 726 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 1: this guy? It's a forty year old guy that's over 727 00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 1: the hill. I also think some and I saw Richard 728 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,680 Speaker 1: Sherman go on this rant a couple weeks ago about 729 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 1: Moody who actually miss kicks, and I too about how 730 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:11,400 Speaker 1: kickers get treated so much differently, right any other player 731 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,080 Speaker 1: on the team you get, you get screamed at twenty 732 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: four seven, three sixty five, by your head coach, by 733 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,839 Speaker 1: your position coach, by your coordinator, by your teammates, by 734 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 1: the fans, like everyone's in your ass constantly, not literally, 735 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,800 Speaker 1: but just always right screaming at you, on top of you, 736 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 1: just motivating you, a pushing you. Just it's an intense environment. 737 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,879 Speaker 1: Sometimes I miss the environment of football just constantly keeps 738 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 1: you on your toes. I just like everyone being on edge. 739 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:43,080 Speaker 1: I think there's a health element to that, to getting 740 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 1: the best out of everybody. Some people can't handle it. 741 00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,239 Speaker 1: It's hard, say hell, it broke me at times, Like 742 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,880 Speaker 1: it's an intense environment, but it really helps you laser 743 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 1: focus on stuff. And I think you know part of 744 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,920 Speaker 1: any success I've had in podcasting or radio, like, I 745 00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 1: kind of keep that mindset of just always kind of 746 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,279 Speaker 1: being on edge, because in football that's just kind of 747 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 1: the way the building is always. Yet with kickers, we 748 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 1: treat them sometimes like they're toddlers or like five year olds. Well, 749 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,960 Speaker 1: it's like, be easy to little Jimmy over there, he 750 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,400 Speaker 1: didn't mean to do it. Or like your dog, he 751 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,359 Speaker 1: didn't mean to pee on the rug. Be nice to him, 752 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,640 Speaker 1: don't yell at him. It's like, listen, Justin Tucker has 753 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 1: had a legendary career, legendary, but so have a lot 754 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,919 Speaker 1: of players. And then they get thirty four, thirty five, 755 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,400 Speaker 1: thirty six years old and they're at dtackle or guard 756 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 1: or corner, and then they start sucking. You know what 757 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:38,520 Speaker 1: happens to those guys. They get benched, they get cut. 758 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,680 Speaker 1: It happens every single year on like half the teams 759 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:45,279 Speaker 1: in the league, a big name guy whose play completely 760 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 1: falls off and they get replaced during the season, it 761 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,279 Speaker 1: happens or phased out. And Yet with a kicker, I'm 762 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:57,160 Speaker 1: watching Justin Tucker miss longfield goal after long field goal, 763 00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,360 Speaker 1: or his entire career, I never felt like a that 764 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,440 Speaker 1: I've ever watched. You could roll out and it could 765 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 1: be forty eight, fifty two, fifty six, sixty. It's like 766 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,239 Speaker 1: this thing is between the uprights, and now when they 767 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,160 Speaker 1: roll him out, you just go, this guy's gonna miss. 768 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,880 Speaker 1: This guy is not gonna hit it now. Adam Viniterry 769 00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 1: was kind of like that toward the end of his 770 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,120 Speaker 1: It just starts going. And I don't pretend to be 771 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:24,799 Speaker 1: some kicker officionado or like totally understanding when it goes 772 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:26,759 Speaker 1: when it doesn't go, because we see guys go through 773 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,319 Speaker 1: rough spells. But this guy's had a bad season. He 774 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: is one of the greatest kickers in the history of 775 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:36,200 Speaker 1: the league. But after today he is eight of sixteen, 776 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:40,880 Speaker 1: so fifty percent on kicks over forty yards. You cannot 777 00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:44,440 Speaker 1: trust him on long kicks. And this is the NFL, 778 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,720 Speaker 1: this is in college. You're not gonna blow out most teams. 779 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 1: They would have had a field goal plus lead in 780 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,920 Speaker 1: the game if he had just made multiple field goals. 781 00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,240 Speaker 1: But he can't do it right. It's fourteen to twelve. 782 00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:58,920 Speaker 1: He missed a field goal that would have made a 783 00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,560 Speaker 1: fifteen to then he missed another one that would have 784 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:06,240 Speaker 1: made it eighteen to fourteen, it does, and not one person, 785 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,319 Speaker 1: not a person in the stadium, not a person on 786 00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,480 Speaker 1: the couch, that after he missed the first one and 787 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,080 Speaker 1: the extra point, thought that third one had a chance 788 00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,480 Speaker 1: of going in, and of course it missed. And then 789 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,040 Speaker 1: John Harbaughs giving him kisses and hugs and saying we 790 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,240 Speaker 1: support them. You would not say that to other people. 791 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,239 Speaker 1: You make changes all the time with other personnel, move 792 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 1: offensive linemen around, help the Ravens. The game opens up 793 00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 1: made me nervous because I like the Ravens in this game, 794 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,320 Speaker 1: and I was telling everyone I know bet the Ravens 795 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,440 Speaker 1: because run defense. I just thought that it was a 796 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,400 Speaker 1: good match for the Ravens. Turns out I was wrong. 797 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,480 Speaker 1: And then what happens early in the game. Kyle Hamilton, 798 00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,000 Speaker 1: who kind of plays as like more of this hybrid linebacker, 799 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,520 Speaker 1: which is a huge reason they're so dominant against the run. 800 00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,600 Speaker 1: Their pass defense has been so shitty. They moved him 801 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,799 Speaker 1: way back to basically free safety. They're like, we want 802 00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,400 Speaker 1: him helping out on the back end, so they're constantly 803 00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,840 Speaker 1: making changes. You're just gonna keep rolling out justin Tucker 804 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,840 Speaker 1: to keep missing field goals. I do think kicking is 805 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,719 Speaker 1: a lot like golf, and when it goes like especially 806 00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:08,680 Speaker 1: in the middle of a season, which is like the 807 00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,839 Speaker 1: middle of a round, there is no fixing it. Like, 808 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 1: this is not a fixable problem. And we've seen enough 809 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,439 Speaker 1: teams that have a kicker that gets injured and bring 810 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,839 Speaker 1: in another guy and have no problem making kicks, So 811 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,360 Speaker 1: this is a solvable problem. There are countless guys you 812 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,720 Speaker 1: could call up and that could make those field goals 813 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,359 Speaker 1: and could be the difference in winning and losing a game. 814 00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:38,759 Speaker 1: We can talk a little college football before we get 815 00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:43,319 Speaker 1: out of here. I do want to hit this the 816 00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:48,120 Speaker 1: flag planning and the people freaking out. I saw so 817 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:53,279 Speaker 1: many people in the media acting like the kids that 818 00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,640 Speaker 1: won the game, and for whatever reason this weekend in 819 00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:00,359 Speaker 1: rivalry Week, most of the teams that won were road 820 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:08,200 Speaker 1: teams Arizona State, North Carolina State, obviously Michigan, and they 821 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:12,000 Speaker 1: wanted to plant the flag on the That's probably the 822 00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,280 Speaker 1: reason you plant the flag, right, is plant your flag 823 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,800 Speaker 1: on the opposing team's fifty yard line where their logo 824 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:25,400 Speaker 1: is now. Newsflash, if it's a turf field, which most are, 825 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,840 Speaker 1: you're not going to be able to plant a flag. 826 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,840 Speaker 1: You would need like a sledgehammer, a nail gun. You 827 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:36,759 Speaker 1: would need some sort of equipment to make that team 828 00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,960 Speaker 1: thing stick. So it's really just a symbolic throwing the 829 00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:45,879 Speaker 1: flag into the turf and getting stuffed every time. It 830 00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,000 Speaker 1: really drove me nuts for everyone acting like and Joe 831 00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:54,759 Speaker 1: Klatt and Gus Johnson basically acted like Michigan burned down 832 00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:59,040 Speaker 1: someone's house. It's not that serious one And to you 833 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:04,640 Speaker 1: get sixty minutes to beat the other team. This is 834 00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:08,640 Speaker 1: not a diddy party. Everyone's consenting to this. And when 835 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:12,160 Speaker 1: they bend you over for sixty minutes in a football game, 836 00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,560 Speaker 1: in a rivalry game of this magnitude, with all these 837 00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,200 Speaker 1: big programs, they don't get to just make fun of 838 00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,200 Speaker 1: you and do whatever they want for those sixty minutes. 839 00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,040 Speaker 1: They get the next year to give it to you 840 00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:25,600 Speaker 1: over and over and over again, and you just have 841 00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,800 Speaker 1: to take it. I thought Ohio State thoroughly embarrassed themselves. 842 00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,200 Speaker 1: Now I'm a human, I understand if I'm a player 843 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,920 Speaker 1: and I'm pissed off. I just don't think you get 844 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:38,759 Speaker 1: to go up and start shoving people. Just go to 845 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:43,560 Speaker 1: the locker room. It makes you look way worse. Obviously, 846 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:47,919 Speaker 1: the video of Ryan Day doing nothing makes it look 847 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:51,719 Speaker 1: even that much worse. But I'm sorry, Like, this is 848 00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:56,280 Speaker 1: not your parents' bedroom. You don't get to just fight 849 00:47:56,360 --> 00:48:00,080 Speaker 1: for this space. Like, give me a fucking break. If 850 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:01,920 Speaker 1: you get your ass kicked, you lose one of these 851 00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,879 Speaker 1: rivalry games, take your helmet off, go to the locker room, 852 00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,839 Speaker 1: and go solk and pray to god it doesn't get 853 00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,080 Speaker 1: that ugly for the next three hundred and sixty five days, 854 00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,279 Speaker 1: because this is college and there are gonna be a 855 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:15,600 Speaker 1: lot of college kids in your dms talking a lot 856 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:19,279 Speaker 1: of shit, starting with the players. So I thought this 857 00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:23,120 Speaker 1: notion of all these media people acting like these teams 858 00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:27,120 Speaker 1: playing the flag were like criminals, and this cannot happen. 859 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,560 Speaker 1: These people need to be suspended, and obviously there's gonna 860 00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:32,600 Speaker 1: be some legislation regulation people getting in trouble. I'm sure 861 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,600 Speaker 1: is gonna happen. Give me a fucking break. I thought 862 00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,360 Speaker 1: the only people that looked like buffoons were the teams 863 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:42,400 Speaker 1: that lost the game. One thing that is cool, and 864 00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,440 Speaker 1: I think this is why college football is taking a 865 00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,359 Speaker 1: jump this season. It's more popular now than it's ever been, 866 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:51,600 Speaker 1: highest ratings by a mile forever. When you turned on 867 00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:57,400 Speaker 1: the best teams you knew who was gonna win. You 868 00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,480 Speaker 1: had one or two upsets throughout the season, but for 869 00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:04,480 Speaker 1: the most part, like it was, it was pretty shocky. 870 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:09,440 Speaker 1: The same teams won over and over and over again. 871 00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,400 Speaker 1: And now with the transfer portal, which obviously has its issues, 872 00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:18,120 Speaker 1: all these seasons end anyone that is kind of sweet 873 00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,759 Speaker 1: on a team that sucks. I have seen so many 874 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,000 Speaker 1: people like this guy's under the transfer portal. This guy's 875 00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:25,200 Speaker 1: under the transfer portal, this guy's out of the transfer portal. 876 00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:29,680 Speaker 1: And part of that is anyone who's good whose teams suck, 877 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:33,000 Speaker 1: their dms are filled with other programs. So it's like 878 00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,760 Speaker 1: those guys aren't entering it blind. They have an idea 879 00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,480 Speaker 1: who wants them and what their value is, which again 880 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,560 Speaker 1: I'm a capitalist, whatever, but I do believe that it's 881 00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:46,000 Speaker 1: made college football more enjoyable. Anything can happen. Now. Ryan 882 00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:49,040 Speaker 1: Day would lose to Michigan no matter what. The transfer 883 00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:51,400 Speaker 1: portal has nothing to do with him losing to Michigan. 884 00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:55,959 Speaker 1: He just is has no shot to out tough them, 885 00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:58,239 Speaker 1: and me and Colin went into depth on that. Not 886 00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:01,680 Speaker 1: shocked at all. Born on third base now somehow back 887 00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:05,439 Speaker 1: at second looking at first ads Chip Kelly, who runs 888 00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:07,560 Speaker 1: a pretty soft offense. Of course, he tries to run 889 00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:09,640 Speaker 1: it right up the middle on Michigan that's where the 890 00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,520 Speaker 1: strength is and then he I mean, that's one of 891 00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,720 Speaker 1: the most embarrassing losses in the history of college football. 892 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:19,480 Speaker 1: But on any given game, anything can happen, and that 893 00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,000 Speaker 1: used to not be the case. And that's why this 894 00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:25,520 Speaker 1: playoff is gonna be so successful because you have no 895 00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:30,520 Speaker 1: clue who's gonna win, absolutely none. Assuming Oregon beats Penn State, 896 00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:32,439 Speaker 1: I think we would all say Oregon's the best team. 897 00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,560 Speaker 1: That's who I think should win the national championship. But 898 00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:39,200 Speaker 1: I wouldn't feel that confident betting on it. I actually 899 00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:41,600 Speaker 1: think there's gonna be a lot of value on the 900 00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:45,000 Speaker 1: teams like six through ten if you can get them 901 00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,759 Speaker 1: ten to fifteen to one, because this fucking thing's gonna 902 00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:53,120 Speaker 1: be wide open, bananas. Georgia went into seventy five overtimes 903 00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,759 Speaker 1: against Georgia Tech. Now you could argue its rivalry games 904 00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:58,239 Speaker 1: and things gets weird, and that is true, But I 905 00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:00,440 Speaker 1: think part of it is there's not that big of 906 00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:03,399 Speaker 1: a talent gap than all these teams because all these 907 00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,840 Speaker 1: players the moment I'm not starting the moment. I have 908 00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,759 Speaker 1: to rotate the moment. I'm not just the star of 909 00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:13,040 Speaker 1: the team, and all the assistant coaches, all the trainers, 910 00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,319 Speaker 1: the athletic department and people running the NIL aren't on 911 00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,200 Speaker 1: their knees constantly for me like I'm like to see you. 912 00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,720 Speaker 1: I'll go somewhere. That is because I think every turn 913 00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,040 Speaker 1: and every door that I open or go to is 914 00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,000 Speaker 1: gonna be better. And that's not always the case, but 915 00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:30,520 Speaker 1: that has currently happening. So you watch college football, it's 916 00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:34,239 Speaker 1: basically turned into the NFL. Like when you watch the NFL, 917 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,919 Speaker 1: the Raiders can't beat the Chiefs. As Antonio Pierce said, 918 00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:41,000 Speaker 1: it's the worst team playing the best team. And as 919 00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,440 Speaker 1: that game was going on, you're not really that shocked 920 00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,680 Speaker 1: with game they could win. Honestly, I thought they were 921 00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,640 Speaker 1: gonna win. And that's it happens all day to day. 922 00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:51,719 Speaker 1: You know, you go into some of these games. Now 923 00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,200 Speaker 1: it doesn't always play out that way, but you're never 924 00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:57,400 Speaker 1: shocked when another team of an underdogs. Why this spreads 925 00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,000 Speaker 1: in the NFL aren't that big, That's why would you 926 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:04,160 Speaker 1: get above a touchdown spread? That's massive, right, But in 927 00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,719 Speaker 1: college football that a seven point spread is like the 928 00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:09,719 Speaker 1: equivalents like eighteen to twenty points, and we see these 929 00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:13,720 Speaker 1: big dogs win all the time. So I think, however, 930 00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:16,160 Speaker 1: we have gotten here, which will probably sucks for the 931 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:19,200 Speaker 1: people working in it because it's tough to figure out 932 00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:22,560 Speaker 1: and corral and maintain and just everyone thinks they have 933 00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:24,840 Speaker 1: the new idea and it's just all over the place. 934 00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:28,560 Speaker 1: But it's made for a better product. I don't even 935 00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:32,000 Speaker 1: think that's arguable. It is more entertaining because it's that 936 00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:37,160 Speaker 1: much more chaotic on a weekly basis and has to 937 00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,319 Speaker 1: be a perfect time given that we now have a 938 00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,919 Speaker 1: twelve team playoff, so we will be back all week 939 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:46,279 Speaker 1: talkings of football. Hopefully everyone had a good Thanksgiving and 940 00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:52,560 Speaker 1: cheers to you and your family and see you tomorrow. Audios. 941 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:54,160 Speaker 1: The volume
