00:00:04,364 --> 00:00:07,244
Speaker 1: Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership

2
00:00:07,284 --> 00:00:18,444
Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio. Welcome to ten Takes, Monday, January fifth. Glad

00:00:18,444 --> 00:00:22,804
Speaker 1: to have you here, Glad to have you listening, clicking, sharing, enjoying.

4
00:00:23,404 --> 00:00:24,724
Speaker 1: I get a lot of people who stop me say

5
00:00:24,764 --> 00:00:26,364
Speaker 1: I like ten takes. It's really nice to hear. Thank

6
00:00:26,364 --> 00:00:28,364
Speaker 1: you very much rub being here. Guys. I'm starting this

7
00:00:28,564 --> 00:00:31,364
Speaker 1: year with a very earnest note. And now I'll start screaming.

8
00:00:31,644 --> 00:00:33,804
Speaker 1: You know how it is ten minutes, ten takes, and

9
00:00:33,844 --> 00:00:35,564
Speaker 1: there's an explosion at the end if I don't get

10
00:00:35,604 --> 00:00:37,164
Speaker 1: all ten takes and it just blows up in my face.

11
00:00:37,244 --> 00:00:43,324
Speaker 1: Let's start right now. Start the clock. Take number one.

12
00:00:43,524 --> 00:00:47,084
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski getting fired by the Browns very good for

13
00:00:47,124 --> 00:00:49,724
Speaker 1: the fans. The fans are very very happy about Kevin

14
00:00:49,764 --> 00:00:54,084
Speaker 1: Stefanski getting fired. The Steelers fans, the Ravens fans, the

15
00:00:54,084 --> 00:00:57,924
Speaker 1: Bengals fans. Unbelievable. Isn't this perfect? It's the Monday after

16
00:00:57,964 --> 00:00:59,764
Speaker 1: the season ends. Just look at the teams that we're talking.

17
00:00:59,804 --> 00:01:03,484
Speaker 1: We're talking about the Browns, the Raiders. Feels like the

18
00:01:03,524 --> 00:01:07,804
Speaker 1: teams that we all always talk about. Kevin Stefanski, what

19
00:01:07,884 --> 00:01:10,364
Speaker 1: do you do. Now, just decide who you like the best.

20
00:01:10,484 --> 00:01:12,884
Speaker 1: You can take your pick. Do you like Jackson Dart,

21
00:01:13,084 --> 00:01:15,364
Speaker 1: do you like cam Ward? Maybe you have something from

22
00:01:15,364 --> 00:01:19,244
Speaker 1: Michael Pennix, or maybe you like Fernando Mendoza from Indiana.

23
00:01:19,284 --> 00:01:22,004
Speaker 1: Because as I'm recording this right now, it's Monday morning.

24
00:01:22,324 --> 00:01:23,964
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll is still the head coach of the Raiders

25
00:01:23,964 --> 00:01:25,724
Speaker 1: when you're listening to it, he may not be, and

26
00:01:25,764 --> 00:01:28,684
Speaker 1: maybe Kevin Stefanski should be. When you're the Browns, you

27
00:01:28,724 --> 00:01:31,484
Speaker 1: have exactly two things going for you in this era,

28
00:01:31,964 --> 00:01:35,244
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett and Kevin Stefanski, and you just fired one

29
00:01:35,244 --> 00:01:39,084
Speaker 1: of them. Just the only real thing that you've had

30
00:01:39,164 --> 00:01:43,444
Speaker 1: to guide you through the dark of an absurd, farcical

31
00:01:43,524 --> 00:01:47,204
Speaker 1: era of Browns football has been Kevin Stefanski, upon whom

32
00:01:47,444 --> 00:01:54,124
Speaker 1: you have thrust an unspeakable horn of plenty, a bottomless

33
00:01:54,164 --> 00:01:57,924
Speaker 1: pit of quarterback play from the ownership, from the front office,

34
00:01:58,124 --> 00:02:00,684
Speaker 1: just said deal with this, make it work. Kevin Stefanski

35
00:02:00,764 --> 00:02:04,324
Speaker 1: not only brought the Browns to the playoffs twice, you

36
00:02:04,444 --> 00:02:07,764
Speaker 1: won a playoff game with the Browns over the Steelers.

37
00:02:08,524 --> 00:02:11,684
Speaker 1: In Brown's terms, that's like winning three Super Bowls. You

38
00:02:11,884 --> 00:02:15,724
Speaker 1: won a playoff game as the Browns in the twenty

39
00:02:15,724 --> 00:02:18,284
Speaker 1: first century, and you think you're gonna do better than that,

40
00:02:18,764 --> 00:02:21,764
Speaker 1: good luck. Imagine the Steelers fans waking up this morning,

41
00:02:21,804 --> 00:02:24,364
Speaker 1: They're like, wait a second, we won the North and

42
00:02:24,444 --> 00:02:29,484
Speaker 1: the Browns fired Stefanskiss is awesome. The Ravens fans, Wow,

43
00:02:29,604 --> 00:02:32,724
Speaker 1: we lost terrible loss, but at least the Browns fired Stefanski.

44
00:02:32,764 --> 00:02:36,164
Speaker 1: That's really good for us. Just terrible, terrible. We'll be

45
00:02:36,164 --> 00:02:37,884
Speaker 1: talking about this next year with the Browns two same

46
00:02:37,924 --> 00:02:40,324
Speaker 1: time next year. Take number two. That was one of

47
00:02:40,404 --> 00:02:42,124
Speaker 1: the all time missed field goals at the end of

48
00:02:42,124 --> 00:02:46,364
Speaker 1: that Steelers Ravens game. Just a shocking, spit take inducing

49
00:02:46,404 --> 00:02:48,364
Speaker 1: miss field goal. We see them all the time, see

50
00:02:48,404 --> 00:02:49,764
Speaker 1: him in college, you see him the pros, but some

51
00:02:49,804 --> 00:02:52,964
Speaker 1: of them just hit differently. Lamar couldn't speak after the game.

52
00:02:53,124 --> 00:02:56,444
Speaker 1: He was so stunned that that dude loop missed a

53
00:02:56,524 --> 00:02:58,884
Speaker 1: forty four yard field goal that they set up beautifully.

54
00:02:59,084 --> 00:03:02,044
Speaker 1: The reaction of Derek Henry on the sideline, his eyes

55
00:03:02,084 --> 00:03:04,124
Speaker 1: popping out of him, said he couldn't believe they missed it.

56
00:03:04,084 --> 00:03:06,604
Speaker 1: It's really one of the all time miss I've ever seen.

57
00:03:06,644 --> 00:03:09,484
Speaker 1: That is so shocking that you just think through the

58
00:03:09,564 --> 00:03:12,364
Speaker 1: muscle memory of watching football. Oh, Lamar came down, they

59
00:03:12,364 --> 00:03:14,164
Speaker 1: made the big catch to likely they set it up. No,

60
00:03:14,364 --> 00:03:15,644
Speaker 1: they do the little play where they get in the

61
00:03:15,644 --> 00:03:17,524
Speaker 1: middle of the field. They come out there, just kick

62
00:03:17,564 --> 00:03:19,044
Speaker 1: it in there, and the Ravens win the North. A

63
00:03:19,204 --> 00:03:21,164
Speaker 1: dead push that you knew was a miss when the

64
00:03:21,204 --> 00:03:23,644
Speaker 1: second his foot hit it. One of the all timers.

65
00:03:23,724 --> 00:03:27,644
Speaker 1: Gary Anderson is still the goat on Minnesota losing to Atlanta,

66
00:03:27,884 --> 00:03:30,284
Speaker 1: one of the misses that Mike Vanderjack, the idiot kicker

67
00:03:30,324 --> 00:03:32,884
Speaker 1: had to keep the Colts out to lose for them.

68
00:03:33,124 --> 00:03:35,284
Speaker 1: And then I think Cody Parky the double doink for

69
00:03:35,324 --> 00:03:38,284
Speaker 1: the Bears against the Eagles. That's the most recent ten

70
00:03:38,324 --> 00:03:40,524
Speaker 1: out of ten shock miss field goal. But then last

71
00:03:40,604 --> 00:03:43,044
Speaker 1: night the Ravens missing. I just we see him a

72
00:03:43,084 --> 00:03:46,564
Speaker 1: lot often tore unexpected. But maybe we're also lulled into

73
00:03:46,604 --> 00:03:48,364
Speaker 1: thinking in a day when these kickers come out and

74
00:03:48,404 --> 00:03:50,604
Speaker 1: make sixty yarders like they're doing warm ups, it's no

75
00:03:50,644 --> 00:03:54,484
Speaker 1: big deal for a guy to dead push a forty

76
00:03:54,524 --> 00:03:57,564
Speaker 1: four yarder that never had a chance. I'm still shocked

77
00:03:57,564 --> 00:04:00,044
Speaker 1: by it. I don't blame Lamar. Take number three Aaron

78
00:04:00,124 --> 00:04:04,964
Speaker 1: Rodgers did it. It worked. This chapter of his career,

79
00:04:05,124 --> 00:04:08,124
Speaker 1: his life worked. We are going to be talking you

80
00:04:08,164 --> 00:04:10,004
Speaker 1: and me about Aaron Rodgers for the rest of our life.

81
00:04:10,004 --> 00:04:11,964
Speaker 1: If you're a football fan, we will be telling our

82
00:04:11,964 --> 00:04:14,844
Speaker 1: grandkids what Aaron Rodgers was like. And make sure to

83
00:04:14,884 --> 00:04:17,524
Speaker 1: tell them that that final chapter with the Steelers where

84
00:04:17,564 --> 00:04:19,844
Speaker 1: he put on that weird uniform with that bizarre looking

85
00:04:19,884 --> 00:04:23,244
Speaker 1: new helmet, it worked. He won the division. He won

86
00:04:23,324 --> 00:04:25,404
Speaker 1: the big game against the arch rival at home in

87
00:04:25,444 --> 00:04:28,004
Speaker 1: prime time by making some huge throws in huge spots.

88
00:04:28,364 --> 00:04:30,324
Speaker 1: The Jets thing was a disaster. It was an f

89
00:04:30,364 --> 00:04:32,484
Speaker 1: It was a zero out of ten. The Steelers thing worked.

90
00:04:32,724 --> 00:04:35,964
Speaker 1: He loses next week to Houston. Fine, you go out

91
00:04:35,964 --> 00:04:37,964
Speaker 1: on your shield, you go out with your boots on,

92
00:04:38,044 --> 00:04:41,604
Speaker 1: walk away. That is an incredibly dignified ending on a

93
00:04:41,684 --> 00:04:44,604
Speaker 1: high note at forty whatever years old, to win the

94
00:04:44,644 --> 00:04:47,564
Speaker 1: division by making big throws without your best receiver who

95
00:04:47,604 --> 00:04:51,244
Speaker 1: is suspended for confronting an individual in Detroit and my

96
00:04:51,324 --> 00:04:53,884
Speaker 1: got how we're leave his DK metcalf. They made the playoffs.

97
00:04:54,004 --> 00:04:57,124
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, it worked. That chapter in the Aaron Rodgers biography,

98
00:04:57,204 --> 00:04:59,764
Speaker 1: make sure it's written well, because the Steelers chapter was awesome.

99
00:04:59,844 --> 00:05:02,564
Speaker 1: He may hate Aaron Rodgers. It worked. Take number four.

100
00:05:03,004 --> 00:05:05,924
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow gave Miles gary At that sack. Now, I'm

101
00:05:05,964 --> 00:05:09,044
Speaker 1: not saying that to be obnoxious, to be a provocateur

102
00:05:09,204 --> 00:05:11,444
Speaker 1: to get clicks, I really am. That's not my moo.

103
00:05:12,284 --> 00:05:13,764
Speaker 1: I think he gave it to him, and I have

104
00:05:13,844 --> 00:05:16,284
Speaker 1: the evidence to tell why he did. First of all,

105
00:05:16,444 --> 00:05:18,564
Speaker 1: I got to sit with Joe Burrow in September. He

106
00:05:18,804 --> 00:05:21,324
Speaker 1: loves Miles Garrett. He straight up says Miles is awesome.

107
00:05:21,364 --> 00:05:23,524
Speaker 1: I have a ton of respect for him. I love Miles.

108
00:05:23,524 --> 00:05:26,084
Speaker 1: That's a direct quote. The way he plays, the way

109
00:05:26,084 --> 00:05:28,284
Speaker 1: he even when he sacks me, he tries to take

110
00:05:28,324 --> 00:05:29,804
Speaker 1: care of me and not hurt me. I love Miles.

111
00:05:29,844 --> 00:05:32,044
Speaker 1: Amazing guy. He really likes him. I think Joe Burrow

112
00:05:32,124 --> 00:05:34,964
Speaker 1: is incredibly aware of what's going on. I think he

113
00:05:35,044 --> 00:05:37,804
Speaker 1: is playing a meaningless game for the Bengals. Last week,

114
00:05:37,844 --> 00:05:40,564
Speaker 1: the Bengals threw a design pass to an offensive lineman

115
00:05:40,644 --> 00:05:42,684
Speaker 1: just for fun. They're out there playing for fun, and

116
00:05:42,724 --> 00:05:45,484
Speaker 1: so is Burrow. Five plus minutes left in the game,

117
00:05:45,804 --> 00:05:48,244
Speaker 1: he knew that Miles Garrett was running out of opportunities

118
00:05:48,284 --> 00:05:50,124
Speaker 1: to get the sack. He wanted Miles to get the

119
00:05:50,164 --> 00:05:53,164
Speaker 1: record on a first and ten, from which he can

120
00:05:53,244 --> 00:05:55,284
Speaker 1: maybe recover the drive, not on a third and ten

121
00:05:55,284 --> 00:05:57,324
Speaker 1: that w ru in the drive on a first and ten.

122
00:05:57,684 --> 00:05:59,724
Speaker 1: He sees Miles get a good jump off the ball

123
00:05:59,764 --> 00:06:02,484
Speaker 1: and he just goes down. And if you're saying that's nonsense,

124
00:06:02,524 --> 00:06:05,484
Speaker 1: I don't believe you. Listen to Joe Burrow explain after

125
00:06:05,564 --> 00:06:08,484
Speaker 1: the game. Joe Burrow, who is very very high IQ,

126
00:06:08,604 --> 00:06:10,684
Speaker 1: who has a photographic memory of every play he's ever

127
00:06:10,684 --> 00:06:13,564
Speaker 1: played at any level, he has asked about a play

128
00:06:13,604 --> 00:06:16,564
Speaker 1: that happened about twenty minutes prior to the question. And

129
00:06:16,644 --> 00:06:19,124
Speaker 1: here's his response. Hey, Joe, what happened on that play

130
00:06:19,124 --> 00:06:21,244
Speaker 1: where Miles Garrett sacked you for the record breaker? What

131
00:06:21,284 --> 00:06:26,564
Speaker 1: was the protection? Tell us about it?

132
00:06:27,804 --> 00:06:34,724
Speaker 2: You know, I'm trying to remember if we had It's

133
00:06:34,764 --> 00:06:38,564
Speaker 2: tough to recall right now the exact protection ideas on

134
00:06:38,964 --> 00:06:45,204
Speaker 2: that whether we because certain looks, you can't you can't

135
00:06:45,244 --> 00:06:49,364
Speaker 2: have help on ninety five because of the potential pressure

136
00:06:49,804 --> 00:06:53,444
Speaker 2: responses that they give. But it's tough to have to

137
00:06:53,484 --> 00:06:55,644
Speaker 2: remember the exact call in that situation off the top

138
00:06:55,684 --> 00:06:56,044
Speaker 2: of my head.

139
00:06:56,604 --> 00:06:58,804
Speaker 1: I don't even mind that he did it. I'm not

140
00:06:58,844 --> 00:07:01,404
Speaker 1: doing it to discredit Joe and certainly not Miles. It's

141
00:07:01,484 --> 00:07:03,924
Speaker 1: kind of cool because the sack record is so sloppy

142
00:07:03,964 --> 00:07:07,004
Speaker 1: and weird. Oh this was seventeen games. The other was

143
00:07:07,084 --> 00:07:09,844
Speaker 1: sixteen games, but TJ. White actually played fifteen games. But

144
00:07:09,924 --> 00:07:12,524
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett did in fewer snaps far of gave it

145
00:07:12,564 --> 00:07:14,604
Speaker 1: to a straight hand. Gaston knows the real champ. It's

146
00:07:14,644 --> 00:07:16,284
Speaker 1: all over the map, and it's going to be even

147
00:07:16,324 --> 00:07:19,044
Speaker 1: more complicated when we get to eighteen games. I don't

148
00:07:19,044 --> 00:07:20,964
Speaker 1: care that Joe Burrow gave it, so I'm not complaining

149
00:07:20,964 --> 00:07:23,564
Speaker 1: about it. I still recognize Garrett as the champ with

150
00:07:23,604 --> 00:07:25,964
Speaker 1: whatever conditions went into that. But I do think that

151
00:07:26,044 --> 00:07:27,404
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow had a moment where he's like, you know what,

152
00:07:27,444 --> 00:07:29,244
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it to Miles. I'm going down right here.

153
00:07:29,484 --> 00:07:31,404
Speaker 1: If that wasn't Miles Garrett on that play, or if

154
00:07:31,404 --> 00:07:33,684
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett had ten sacks on the season, I think

155
00:07:33,764 --> 00:07:36,644
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow is fighting way way harder than he did

156
00:07:36,644 --> 00:07:38,364
Speaker 1: to extend the play, which he didn't do at all.

157
00:07:38,524 --> 00:07:40,524
Speaker 1: Take number five, I'm way behind schedule. I don't like

158
00:07:40,524 --> 00:07:42,604
Speaker 1: that the Carolina Panthers are in. I'm not one of

159
00:07:42,644 --> 00:07:44,844
Speaker 1: these people who stops your foot saying division title gets

160
00:07:44,844 --> 00:07:46,484
Speaker 1: you in. Division title gets you in. That's how it's

161
00:07:46,484 --> 00:07:48,324
Speaker 1: always been, It's how it should be. I don't care

162
00:07:48,324 --> 00:07:50,524
Speaker 1: about a division title like Herabou. I want the best

163
00:07:50,644 --> 00:07:55,764
Speaker 1: teams in the playoffs and for Tampa to beat Carolina convincingly.

164
00:07:56,004 --> 00:07:58,444
Speaker 1: Albeit I get it there are weird calls. Tampa won

165
00:07:58,484 --> 00:08:01,244
Speaker 1: the game, and then twenty minutes later, Tampa has to

166
00:08:01,284 --> 00:08:02,924
Speaker 1: see that the team that they just beat it's the

167
00:08:02,924 --> 00:08:05,244
Speaker 1: spot instead of them. I feel the Panthers entered the

168
00:08:05,244 --> 00:08:07,604
Speaker 1: playoffs like two kids on each other's shoulders under a

169
00:08:07,644 --> 00:08:10,284
Speaker 1: trench coat going into an NC seventeen movie. That was

170
00:08:10,284 --> 00:08:12,364
Speaker 1: how they get in the playoffs. And I really like

171
00:08:12,404 --> 00:08:14,444
Speaker 1: a lot of what they stand for. It's not personal, Caroline.

172
00:08:14,444 --> 00:08:16,004
Speaker 1: I hope they get hammered in the playoffs in the

173
00:08:16,004 --> 00:08:18,244
Speaker 1: first round, just as a message to sub five hundred

174
00:08:18,244 --> 00:08:20,524
Speaker 1: teams who get in. Take number six. I don't know

175
00:08:20,564 --> 00:08:22,604
Speaker 1: who's MVP, and it's so annoying to me because this

176
00:08:22,644 --> 00:08:24,724
Speaker 1: is my first year I have an MVP vote. I

177
00:08:24,764 --> 00:08:27,124
Speaker 1: carried around like Wayne and Garth with backstage passes to

178
00:08:27,164 --> 00:08:29,764
Speaker 1: Alice Cooper. I was set to vote for McCaffrey. I

179
00:08:29,804 --> 00:08:31,924
Speaker 1: had the story, I had the stats, I had the explanation,

180
00:08:32,364 --> 00:08:34,484
Speaker 1: and then he failed the final exam and the Niners

181
00:08:34,484 --> 00:08:37,324
Speaker 1: fell in their faces. And I can't justify McCaffrey not

182
00:08:37,444 --> 00:08:39,324
Speaker 1: having a big game in that situation getting the MVP.

183
00:08:39,404 --> 00:08:40,884
Speaker 1: So now I got to vote to do these two quarterbacks,

184
00:08:40,884 --> 00:08:43,204
Speaker 1: and I honestly don't know. I know that takes for both,

185
00:08:43,204 --> 00:08:45,404
Speaker 1: I know the detractions for both. I have to make

186
00:08:45,444 --> 00:08:46,924
Speaker 1: up my mind this afternoon. I'm not going to tell

187
00:08:46,964 --> 00:08:48,844
Speaker 1: you now because I'm not allowed to. We'll talk about

188
00:08:48,844 --> 00:08:52,044
Speaker 1: it next week. Take number seven. Sam Donald is an enigma.

189
00:08:52,204 --> 00:08:55,404
Speaker 1: He remains an enigma. Sam Donald, as you know, just

190
00:08:55,404 --> 00:08:58,324
Speaker 1: won fourteen games back to back seasons. See and Tom

191
00:08:58,324 --> 00:09:00,924
Speaker 1: Brady the only people to ever do that. Sam Donald's

192
00:09:00,924 --> 00:09:02,524
Speaker 1: gonna go away for a while. He's gonna have a vacation.

193
00:09:02,604 --> 00:09:04,484
Speaker 1: He's gonna come back rested and play who over the

194
00:09:04,564 --> 00:09:06,644
Speaker 1: NFC playoffs spit out to him as the one seed,

195
00:09:07,004 --> 00:09:11,164
Speaker 1: and I still don't implicitly trust him. I still don't

196
00:09:11,204 --> 00:09:13,724
Speaker 1: know if in a fourth quarter of a big game,

197
00:09:13,804 --> 00:09:15,844
Speaker 1: Sam Donald's just going to be nails. I love the

198
00:09:15,844 --> 00:09:19,164
Speaker 1: Seattle defense. The running game is incredible with those two guys.

199
00:09:19,684 --> 00:09:22,164
Speaker 1: I just sam, Donaldy, I'm just winning? Can you do?

200
00:09:22,404 --> 00:09:25,804
Speaker 1: And still you're not really trusted. I don't know. Am

201
00:09:25,844 --> 00:09:27,244
Speaker 1: I alone? Are you sitting here being like yeah, I

202
00:09:27,244 --> 00:09:29,324
Speaker 1: get it? Are you like no? Come on, Donald's I

203
00:09:29,324 --> 00:09:32,284
Speaker 1: don't know. I bet you're the first one take number eight.

204
00:09:32,364 --> 00:09:34,564
Speaker 1: Riley Leonard should have been playing all along for the Colts.

205
00:09:35,444 --> 00:09:38,044
Speaker 1: Riley Leonard played yesterday, albeit in a loss, but he

206
00:09:38,164 --> 00:09:40,484
Speaker 1: stood in front of the alleged best defense in the

207
00:09:40,604 --> 00:09:44,164
Speaker 1: NFL in Houston and looked like a young, incredible athlete

208
00:09:44,204 --> 00:09:46,444
Speaker 1: who should be starting in an NFL game. Yet he's

209
00:09:46,444 --> 00:09:48,404
Speaker 1: been standing on the sideline for damn close to a

210
00:09:48,444 --> 00:09:51,844
Speaker 1: month watching a Disney movie unfold in front of him, because, oh,

211
00:09:51,884 --> 00:09:54,284
Speaker 1: Phil Rivers is back. It's okay for me to like

212
00:09:54,284 --> 00:09:57,564
Speaker 1: Phil Rivers and for me to still say, why did

213
00:09:57,564 --> 00:10:00,404
Speaker 1: they do this? Why did you have a guy out

214
00:10:00,444 --> 00:10:02,884
Speaker 1: there who could barely throw? When you had Riley Leonard

215
00:10:02,884 --> 00:10:05,964
Speaker 1: who you drafted, who's big and young and athletic. I

216
00:10:06,044 --> 00:10:09,084
Speaker 1: get it. Rivers, we love him. He's miked up. He's

217
00:10:09,124 --> 00:10:11,124
Speaker 1: so funny. He says, Dad gone, and he yels at

218
00:10:11,124 --> 00:10:14,124
Speaker 1: the referees. He didn't win a game, Guys, he didn't

219
00:10:14,164 --> 00:10:17,684
Speaker 1: win a single game. He was over. Did you not

220
00:10:17,724 --> 00:10:20,404
Speaker 1: see Riley Leonard yesterday? Because the great thing with Rivers

221
00:10:20,444 --> 00:10:23,524
Speaker 1: is he has been this amazing makeup over the one

222
00:10:23,564 --> 00:10:25,884
Speaker 1: of the greatest collapses of all time. We're sitting here saying,

223
00:10:25,924 --> 00:10:28,444
Speaker 1: this is so great that Rivers is in this magical movie.

224
00:10:28,564 --> 00:10:32,164
Speaker 1: The Colts are collapsing. They missed the playoffs. It's never

225
00:10:32,244 --> 00:10:34,564
Speaker 1: happened when they're eight and two. I just wish we

226
00:10:34,564 --> 00:10:36,204
Speaker 1: could have seen what Riley Leonard had maybe would have

227
00:10:36,244 --> 00:10:39,204
Speaker 1: ended differently. Take number nine, Take number eight. Riley Leonard

228
00:10:39,204 --> 00:10:42,044
Speaker 1: should have been playing all along for the Colts. Riley

229
00:10:42,084 --> 00:10:44,764
Speaker 1: Leonard played yesterday, albeit in a loss, but he stood

230
00:10:44,844 --> 00:10:47,284
Speaker 1: in front of the alleged best defense in the NFL

231
00:10:47,284 --> 00:10:50,644
Speaker 1: in Houston and looked like a young, incredible athlete who

232
00:10:50,684 --> 00:10:53,284
Speaker 1: should be starting an NFL game. Yet he's been standing

233
00:10:53,324 --> 00:10:55,364
Speaker 1: on the sideline for damn close to a month watching

Speaker 1: Phil Rivers is back. It's okay for me to like

236
00:11:00,644 --> 00:11:03,884
Speaker 1: Phil Rivers and for me to still say, why did

237
00:11:03,884 --> 00:11:06,764
Speaker 1: they do that? Why did you have a guy out

238
00:11:06,764 --> 00:11:09,204
Speaker 1: there who could barely throw. When you had Riley Leonard,

239
00:11:09,244 --> 00:11:11,844
Speaker 1: who you drafted, who's big and strong and young and athletic.

240
00:11:12,204 --> 00:11:15,204
Speaker 1: I get it. River as we love him. He's miked up.

241
00:11:15,244 --> 00:11:17,324
Speaker 1: He's so funny. He says dad gone and he yels

242
00:11:17,364 --> 00:11:20,124
Speaker 1: at the referees. He didn't win a game, guys, he

243
00:11:20,164 --> 00:11:23,844
Speaker 1: didn't win a single game. He was over. Did you

244
00:11:23,924 --> 00:11:26,244
Speaker 1: not see Riley Leonard yesterday? Because the great thing with

245
00:11:26,364 --> 00:11:29,564
Speaker 1: Rivers is he has been this amazing makeup over the

246
00:11:29,724 --> 00:11:31,844
Speaker 1: one of the greatest collapses of all time. We're sitting

247
00:11:31,884 --> 00:11:33,644
Speaker 1: here saying, this is so great that Rivers is in

248
00:11:33,684 --> 00:11:37,924
Speaker 1: this magical movie. The Colts are collapsing. They missed the playoffs.

249
00:11:38,004 --> 00:11:40,404
Speaker 1: It's never happened when they were eight and two. I

250
00:11:40,444 --> 00:11:42,044
Speaker 1: just wish we could have seen what Riley Leonard had

251
00:11:42,084 --> 00:11:44,604
Speaker 1: maybe would have ended differently. Take number nine, Take number ten.

252
00:11:44,644 --> 00:11:48,124
Speaker 1: I have five seconds. Taking down Christmas decoration sucks. I

253
00:11:48,164 --> 00:11:52,724
Speaker 1: absolutely can't stand up, but we did it. It was

254
00:11:52,724 --> 00:11:54,564
Speaker 1: a hard one. I feel like that was six minutes,

255
00:11:54,684 --> 00:11:57,124
Speaker 1: but it was actually ten. And I have to end.

256
00:11:57,164 --> 00:11:59,884
Speaker 1: I have standards. I have to stand for something, and

257
00:11:59,924 --> 00:12:02,164
Speaker 1: that is giving you ten takes in ten minutes. I

258
00:12:02,164 --> 00:12:04,044
Speaker 1: really wish I would like to expand on that Christmas

259
00:12:04,084 --> 00:12:07,404
Speaker 1: deck takedown. What a bummer that is so annoying. All

260
00:12:07,404 --> 00:12:09,684
Speaker 1: the boxing and all the chords and all the pieces

261
00:12:09,724 --> 00:12:11,644
Speaker 1: and things that are fragile, and you know you're not

262
00:12:11,684 --> 00:12:13,324
Speaker 1: going to see it from I mean, we're supposed to

263
00:12:13,324 --> 00:12:15,284
Speaker 1: stop breaking my own rules. Love you guys, great to

264
00:12:15,324 --> 00:12:17,324
Speaker 1: see you. Thank you for clicking. Share this with people.

265
00:12:17,324 --> 00:12:18,924
Speaker 1: It's not an ounce of fatom it. Ten takes and

266
00:12:18,964 --> 00:12:26,764
Speaker 1: ten minutes to see you next week. Ten Takes is

267
00:12:26,764 --> 00:12:30,644
Speaker 1: a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. For

268
00:12:30,724 --> 00:12:35,244
Speaker 1: more iHeartRadio pods, go to the iHeartRadio app, go to Apple,

269
00:12:35,564 --> 00:12:37,444
Speaker 1: go anywhere you like, it'll be there.
