00:00:51,628 --> 00:00:55,508
Speaker 3: the devastating fires ravaging our region. We are all heartbroken

Speaker 3: by the destruction and we hold in our hearts those

14

Speaker 3: and talk about our favorite thing in the world besides

Speaker 3: our kids and our families and whatever.

29
00:01:35,908 --> 00:01:36,308
Speaker 5: Football.

30
00:01:36,588 --> 00:01:39,348
Speaker 3: Two of the year's favorite favorites to win the MVP

31
00:01:39,508 --> 00:01:41,828
Speaker 3: Award take the field this weekend as.

32
00:01:41,748 --> 00:01:43,228
Speaker 4: A part of wild Card Weekend.

33
00:01:43,268 --> 00:01:45,788
Speaker 3: It's Josh Allen and the Bills who will host the

34
00:01:45,828 --> 00:01:48,988
Speaker 3: Broncos on Sunday, and it's Lamar Jackson and the Ravens

35
00:01:49,028 --> 00:01:51,468
Speaker 3: who are taking on the rival Steelers on Saturday night.

36
00:01:51,548 --> 00:01:54,308
Speaker 3: Of course, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson spoke about their

37
00:01:54,348 --> 00:01:55,268
Speaker 3: upcoming matchups.

38
00:01:56,868 --> 00:01:59,028
Speaker 6: You got to put one foot in front of the other.

39
00:02:00,868 --> 00:02:02,468
Speaker 6: It's a team that came in here last year and

40
00:02:02,508 --> 00:02:05,348
Speaker 6: they beat us. We know that, understand that it's a

41
00:02:05,428 --> 00:02:09,788
Speaker 6: very good team. They're well coached. Their defensive line is

42
00:02:09,868 --> 00:02:11,628
Speaker 6: one of the best in the league. They got a

43
00:02:11,668 --> 00:02:14,268
Speaker 6: couple of guys outside that can absolutely go. Obviously, look

44
00:02:14,308 --> 00:02:16,708
Speaker 6: at certain one of the best corners in the game.

45
00:02:17,188 --> 00:02:19,348
Speaker 6: We're gonna have our hands full. So again, we're just

46
00:02:19,388 --> 00:02:20,788
Speaker 6: trying to put one foot in front of the other,

47
00:02:21,788 --> 00:02:23,628
Speaker 6: tell you day by day and have a good week

48
00:02:23,668 --> 00:02:25,108
Speaker 6: of practice and then try to go out there next

49
00:02:25,148 --> 00:02:25,748
Speaker 6: feet on Sunday.

50
00:02:29,988 --> 00:02:32,828
Speaker 3: So that was Josh Allen of close Lamar Jackson going

51
00:02:32,908 --> 00:02:35,708
Speaker 3: up against a very familiar foe in the Steelers defense.

52
00:02:36,108 --> 00:02:38,668
Speaker 4: Those two are jockeying for an MVP. People have already

53
00:02:38,708 --> 00:02:39,468
Speaker 4: cast their votes.

54
00:02:39,508 --> 00:02:41,508
Speaker 3: We will find out, of course at NFL Honors who

55
00:02:41,548 --> 00:02:44,468
Speaker 3: wins that award this year. Let's look at this weekend though,

56
00:02:44,548 --> 00:02:48,228
Speaker 3: which quarterback has more pressure on him to win in

57
00:02:48,428 --> 00:02:50,988
Speaker 3: wild Card weekend? Peter, you go first, Josh Allen or

58
00:02:51,028 --> 00:02:51,708
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson.

59
00:02:52,188 --> 00:02:55,028
Speaker 2: Yeah. I did some research on this with our stud

60
00:02:55,108 --> 00:02:55,868
Speaker 2: researcher Blake.

61
00:02:55,908 --> 00:02:57,988
Speaker 7: I said, has ever been a quarterback who won the

62
00:02:58,188 --> 00:03:01,708
Speaker 7: MVP award but actually lost in the wild card round

63
00:03:01,748 --> 00:03:04,108
Speaker 7: as a quarterback? And there is only one, and it

64
00:03:04,228 --> 00:03:07,068
Speaker 7: was Peyton Manning And it was two thousand and eight

65
00:03:07,308 --> 00:03:09,828
Speaker 7: and the Colts lost in an AFC wild card game

66
00:03:10,028 --> 00:03:13,388
Speaker 7: in San Diego. Darren Sproles made a big play, took

67
00:03:13,428 --> 00:03:16,628
Speaker 7: the game into overtime and then Nick Cating ended up

68
00:03:16,668 --> 00:03:19,028
Speaker 7: winning the game for the Chargers and Philip Rivers beat

69
00:03:19,308 --> 00:03:21,868
Speaker 7: Peyton Manning in a playoffame. It's the only time ever

70
00:03:22,028 --> 00:03:25,268
Speaker 7: we've seen an MVP losing a wildcard game, which makes

71
00:03:25,468 --> 00:03:27,988
Speaker 7: both of these players have such high stakes. You do

72
00:03:28,068 --> 00:03:30,388
Speaker 7: not want to be a quarterback who wins the MVP

73
00:03:30,468 --> 00:03:32,388
Speaker 7: at NFL Honors and have to look back and be like, yeah,

74
00:03:32,908 --> 00:03:34,748
Speaker 7: but this was supposed to be the year of destiny

75
00:03:34,748 --> 00:03:38,108
Speaker 7: and we lost. Talk about who would it be more

76
00:03:38,228 --> 00:03:42,308
Speaker 7: devastating for. I think it's Lamar Jackson, I really do.

77
00:03:42,588 --> 00:03:44,428
Speaker 7: And I think it's because of the opponent, and I

78
00:03:44,508 --> 00:03:47,948
Speaker 7: think it's because of just how good he has been

79
00:03:48,068 --> 00:03:51,148
Speaker 7: coming into these playoffs. There has been no question that

80
00:03:51,588 --> 00:03:54,588
Speaker 7: Lamar Jackson's been playing his best football of his entire

81
00:03:54,788 --> 00:03:58,228
Speaker 7: career over the last month of the season. And this

82
00:03:58,388 --> 00:04:02,468
Speaker 7: includes two different MVP seasons. MVP seasons where they broke

83
00:04:02,588 --> 00:04:06,388
Speaker 7: every rushing statistic power possible in twenty nineteen, an MVP

84
00:04:06,508 --> 00:04:08,388
Speaker 7: season where he threw the Ravens on his back and

85
00:04:08,508 --> 00:04:09,548
Speaker 7: led them to a one seed.

86
00:04:09,668 --> 00:04:12,748
Speaker 2: Last year they did the three seed. They win this

87
00:04:12,828 --> 00:04:13,868
Speaker 2: game in Buffalo wins.

88
00:04:14,348 --> 00:04:16,588
Speaker 7: They're set to play next week and what might be

89
00:04:16,668 --> 00:04:19,028
Speaker 7: the best Divisional round game of all time between these

90
00:04:19,068 --> 00:04:19,868
Speaker 7: two quarterbacks.

91
00:04:20,428 --> 00:04:23,868
Speaker 2: Get us there and Lamar, do not lose this one.

92
00:04:24,308 --> 00:04:26,628
Speaker 7: Josh Allen's got some playoff losses, and he lost to

93
00:04:26,668 --> 00:04:28,628
Speaker 7: the Texans as a wildcard team when he was a

94
00:04:28,708 --> 00:04:32,188
Speaker 7: young buck. But like Lamar Jackson, this one when you

95
00:04:32,268 --> 00:04:34,668
Speaker 7: are now entering this stage of your career and we're

96
00:04:34,708 --> 00:04:37,908
Speaker 7: talking three MVPs, and we've got this mental image of

97
00:04:37,988 --> 00:04:40,988
Speaker 7: having to go through Russell, Josh Allen, and then ultimately

98
00:04:41,068 --> 00:04:43,508
Speaker 7: Mahomes before we're getting to the super Bowl. It would

99
00:04:43,548 --> 00:04:46,788
Speaker 7: be such a disappointment if the Ravens lost at home

100
00:04:47,068 --> 00:04:49,828
Speaker 7: to the rival Steelers and Mike Tomlin and those guys

101
00:04:49,868 --> 00:04:52,908
Speaker 7: went into that building and beat Lamar Jackson, especially this

102
00:04:53,028 --> 00:04:55,188
Speaker 7: season with all of the flips that we've been doing

103
00:04:55,228 --> 00:04:56,708
Speaker 7: over the past month, over this year.

104
00:04:57,828 --> 00:05:02,308
Speaker 8: Peter massive, massive disappointment. I look at this and I

105
00:05:02,388 --> 00:05:05,108
Speaker 8: go the same thing. I believe that this game means

106
00:05:05,148 --> 00:05:07,868
Speaker 8: a lot more. There's a lot more pressure for Lamar

107
00:05:08,028 --> 00:05:09,628
Speaker 8: Jackson and his playoff record.

108
00:05:09,668 --> 00:05:11,068
Speaker 9: He's two and four in the playoffs.

109
00:05:11,348 --> 00:05:14,468
Speaker 8: You look at what Josh Allen has done slightly better

110
00:05:14,708 --> 00:05:17,668
Speaker 8: than that of Lamar Jackson five and five in the playoffs.

111
00:05:17,748 --> 00:05:20,068
Speaker 9: But I look at this and go, Lamar, he needs this.

112
00:05:20,228 --> 00:05:21,668
Speaker 9: He's got to have this breakthrough.

113
00:05:22,508 --> 00:05:26,148
Speaker 8: He's been playing at an MVP level talent, but his

114
00:05:26,348 --> 00:05:30,508
Speaker 8: playoff record, I think it's a significant blot on his resume.

115
00:05:30,948 --> 00:05:33,348
Speaker 9: We have to fix this. He has to fix this.

116
00:05:33,948 --> 00:05:35,108
Speaker 9: A deep playoff run.

117
00:05:35,108 --> 00:05:37,788
Speaker 8: For not only the Ravens, but for Lamar Jackson specifically,

118
00:05:38,228 --> 00:05:42,188
Speaker 8: or even too better, a super Bowl appearance is crucial

119
00:05:42,468 --> 00:05:45,468
Speaker 8: for him and his career. I go back to high

120
00:05:45,508 --> 00:05:49,428
Speaker 8: school when everybody is really kind of thinking about their

121
00:05:49,508 --> 00:05:51,948
Speaker 8: personal image and how they look, and I think about

122
00:05:52,188 --> 00:05:53,028
Speaker 8: a kid that I went.

123
00:05:52,948 --> 00:05:53,348
Speaker 9: To school with.

124
00:05:53,388 --> 00:05:56,788
Speaker 8: His name is Alvin, and Alvin was always the best dress,

125
00:05:57,028 --> 00:05:59,828
Speaker 8: always the best dress throughout the school year. But you

126
00:06:00,028 --> 00:06:02,308
Speaker 8: can't show up ten till the biggest day of the year,

127
00:06:02,348 --> 00:06:04,068
Speaker 8: which we all know in high school is the problem.

128
00:06:04,588 --> 00:06:06,748
Speaker 8: The biggest day of the year, and you come out

129
00:06:06,788 --> 00:06:10,068
Speaker 8: in some whax suit. No, you gotta be suited and booted.

130
00:06:10,308 --> 00:06:12,468
Speaker 8: That's the last image I'm gonna have in my head.

131
00:06:12,508 --> 00:06:15,268
Speaker 8: And I think for football players, the last image most

132
00:06:15,348 --> 00:06:17,268
Speaker 8: fans have is not oh, yeah, you were an MVP.

133
00:06:17,628 --> 00:06:19,508
Speaker 8: Did you make it to the super Bowl. That's how

134
00:06:19,588 --> 00:06:23,028
Speaker 8: we're measured. We are measured based off of what you

135
00:06:23,188 --> 00:06:26,548
Speaker 8: did in the playoffs, especially somebody at that caliber. If

136
00:06:26,588 --> 00:06:29,188
Speaker 8: you're a MED guy, then yeah, Med guys, you know

137
00:06:29,268 --> 00:06:31,668
Speaker 8: there's oh yeah, you had a great season this season.

138
00:06:31,948 --> 00:06:33,868
Speaker 9: But Lamar Jackson's on another level.

139
00:06:33,948 --> 00:06:36,668
Speaker 8: You are being measured and you're being viewed based off

140
00:06:36,708 --> 00:06:39,108
Speaker 8: of your impact in the playoffs, and they haven't done that.

141
00:06:39,268 --> 00:06:42,068
Speaker 9: They've got to win this game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

142
00:06:43,028 --> 00:06:43,388
Speaker 9: I love it.

143
00:06:43,508 --> 00:06:46,028
Speaker 10: Two for two for Lamar Jackson. For me, it's going

144
00:06:46,108 --> 00:06:48,108
Speaker 10: to be Josh Allen. And the reason why I say

145
00:06:48,188 --> 00:06:51,268
Speaker 10: Josh Allen is because if you look at the teams

146
00:06:51,308 --> 00:06:54,028
Speaker 10: that they're playing, the Baltimore Ravens are playing the Pittsburgh Steelers.

147
00:06:54,068 --> 00:06:56,348
Speaker 10: The Pittsburgh Steelers have gone over four in their last

148
00:06:56,388 --> 00:06:59,228
Speaker 10: four games. They haven't scored over more than seventeen points

149
00:06:59,228 --> 00:07:01,628
Speaker 10: since December eighth, when they took on the Cleveland Browns. So,

150
00:07:02,468 --> 00:07:05,508
Speaker 10: just because of that, I think that the Lamar Jackson,

151
00:07:06,028 --> 00:07:08,308
Speaker 10: Lamar Jackson and Baltimore Ravens are going to have a

152
00:07:08,388 --> 00:07:11,548
Speaker 10: really successful day this weekend. Now, when it comes to

153
00:07:11,588 --> 00:07:14,828
Speaker 10: the Bills rest of Broncos, the last time that the Broncos,

154
00:07:14,868 --> 00:07:17,628
Speaker 10: and Josh alluded to it in his interview, the last

155
00:07:17,668 --> 00:07:20,388
Speaker 10: time the Broncos walked into a Hi Mark Stadium was

156
00:07:20,508 --> 00:07:23,028
Speaker 10: November thirteenth of twenty twenty three.

157
00:07:22,908 --> 00:07:26,468
Speaker 11: Where they beat the Buffalo Bills twenty four to twenty two.

158
00:07:26,988 --> 00:07:30,188
Speaker 10: And that is a Broncos team that had Russell Wilson

159
00:07:30,268 --> 00:07:33,548
Speaker 10: at quarterback and one of the worst defenses in the NFL.

160
00:07:34,068 --> 00:07:35,028
Speaker 11: In twenty twenty three.

161
00:07:35,188 --> 00:07:39,188
Speaker 10: That Broncos defense was the twenty ninth ranked defense in

162
00:07:39,308 --> 00:07:42,508
Speaker 10: total defense this year. In twenty twenty four, that the

163
00:07:42,588 --> 00:07:45,748
Speaker 10: seventh ranked total defense in the NFL. In twenty twenty three,

164
00:07:45,788 --> 00:07:50,228
Speaker 10: their scoring defense was the twenty seventh ranked scoring defense

165
00:07:50,348 --> 00:07:51,028
Speaker 10: in the NFL.

166
00:07:51,188 --> 00:07:52,548
Speaker 11: This year their third.

167
00:07:52,908 --> 00:07:56,268
Speaker 10: So this is a totally different Broncos team that's going

168
00:07:56,348 --> 00:08:00,068
Speaker 10: into that stadium. It's a totally different makeup, but they

169
00:08:00,148 --> 00:08:02,668
Speaker 10: have a different level of confidence there. Different their their

170
00:08:02,748 --> 00:08:05,388
Speaker 10: defense is definitely better, and bow has been playing at

171
00:08:06,068 --> 00:08:08,428
Speaker 10: a level that we haven't seen at the quarterback position

172
00:08:08,548 --> 00:08:11,068
Speaker 10: for the Broncos in some time now. So if there's

173
00:08:11,108 --> 00:08:13,588
Speaker 10: any more pressure, it's to be it's got to be

174
00:08:13,668 --> 00:08:14,188
Speaker 10: Josh Allen.

175
00:08:14,788 --> 00:08:16,948
Speaker 12: Tell you what I think that's on the most pressure

176
00:08:16,948 --> 00:08:20,468
Speaker 12: in this segment is a Manti's turtleneck holding in that giant,

177
00:08:20,548 --> 00:08:23,908
Speaker 12: bulging neck of yours, Manti, especially with Notre Dame playing

178
00:08:23,988 --> 00:08:24,748
Speaker 12: right now, You're going.

179
00:08:24,708 --> 00:08:26,788
Speaker 5: To be turgent up here. Dude, you look.

180
00:08:26,668 --> 00:08:29,868
Speaker 12: Great, but pray for the turtleneck to hold it. Hold on,

181
00:08:29,988 --> 00:08:32,388
Speaker 12: We'll get the Notre Dame and it's just a little bit.

182
00:08:32,468 --> 00:08:33,988
Speaker 5: Believe me, we're going to hit them today.

183
00:08:34,348 --> 00:08:36,428
Speaker 12: Listen this question. I still think the quarterback and on

184
00:08:36,468 --> 00:08:38,668
Speaker 12: the most pressure this weekend is Sam Darnold. But I'll

185
00:08:38,708 --> 00:08:41,268
Speaker 12: answer that it's a very tough one because either Josh

186
00:08:41,388 --> 00:08:44,508
Speaker 12: or Lamar losing this weekend would be almost unthinkable. To

187
00:08:44,628 --> 00:08:46,028
Speaker 12: come in on Monday, It's like, what do you even

188
00:08:46,108 --> 00:08:48,108
Speaker 12: say about that? But I am going to kind of

189
00:08:48,148 --> 00:08:50,308
Speaker 12: give us a majority vote here. I am going to

190
00:08:50,388 --> 00:08:52,348
Speaker 12: say Lamar for a lot of the reasons that you

191
00:08:52,428 --> 00:08:55,308
Speaker 12: guys already touched upon. First of all, it's not only

192
00:08:55,348 --> 00:08:57,468
Speaker 12: that you would lose to the Steelers at home.

193
00:08:58,428 --> 00:08:59,148
Speaker 5: It's that it's the.

194
00:08:59,148 --> 00:09:01,348
Speaker 12: Steelers team that hasn't one in a month, that is

195
00:09:01,388 --> 00:09:02,508
Speaker 12: showing up just trying.

196
00:09:02,308 --> 00:09:03,068
Speaker 5: To collect itself.

197
00:09:03,308 --> 00:09:05,548
Speaker 12: It's also you would give Mike Tomlin his first playoff

198
00:09:05,588 --> 00:09:07,468
Speaker 12: win in eight years, and he's going to do it

199
00:09:07,628 --> 00:09:10,348
Speaker 12: in Baltimore where everybody's screaming in that crazy atenswepre.

200
00:09:10,428 --> 00:09:13,188
Speaker 5: That would be a bitter painful loss for Lamar.

201
00:09:13,748 --> 00:09:15,868
Speaker 12: Also, you know, Peter, I liked the nugget that you

202
00:09:15,908 --> 00:09:18,668
Speaker 12: brought up about MVP quarterbacks losing in the wild card round.

203
00:09:19,268 --> 00:09:21,188
Speaker 12: Imagine losing in the wild came run as MVP, and

204
00:09:21,228 --> 00:09:23,108
Speaker 12: then not only are you going to accept the MVP

205
00:09:23,228 --> 00:09:25,588
Speaker 12: at honors, it's like it's like almost a month later.

206
00:09:25,668 --> 00:09:27,908
Speaker 5: It's like you don't even remember when this player was playing.

207
00:09:27,948 --> 00:09:29,548
Speaker 5: It was so long ago that you lost. It's an

208
00:09:29,548 --> 00:09:30,228
Speaker 5: awkward time.

209
00:09:30,468 --> 00:09:32,428
Speaker 12: And the other nugget that I have is, let's say

210
00:09:32,548 --> 00:09:35,948
Speaker 12: Lamar wins the MVP this year, and he might, Lamar

211
00:09:35,988 --> 00:09:40,668
Speaker 12: would become the first ever three time MVP to never

212
00:09:40,748 --> 00:09:43,508
Speaker 12: even play in a Super Bowl, never even play in one.

213
00:09:43,828 --> 00:09:46,108
Speaker 12: There's not a lot of three time MVPs. All of

214
00:09:46,188 --> 00:09:49,348
Speaker 12: them have at least played in a super Bowl, and most.

215
00:09:49,148 --> 00:09:49,828
Speaker 5: Of them have won.

216
00:09:50,068 --> 00:09:51,548
Speaker 12: That's not a good club to be in. I got

217
00:09:51,548 --> 00:09:53,948
Speaker 12: three MVPs, I never even showed up to the super Bowl.

218
00:09:54,188 --> 00:09:56,148
Speaker 12: That is a burden on Lamar, and Lamar does not

219
00:09:56,268 --> 00:09:58,748
Speaker 12: want that, and so I think it is him because also,

220
00:09:58,828 --> 00:10:01,828
Speaker 12: how do you spin the loss fans media? If the

221
00:10:01,908 --> 00:10:05,348
Speaker 12: Bills lose this weekend. It's shocked and it's bad, but

222
00:10:05,428 --> 00:10:08,068
Speaker 12: it's like, Wow, this Denver thing's got next. They're this

223
00:10:08,268 --> 00:10:10,468
Speaker 12: up and coming team and bo Nix might be the

224
00:10:10,548 --> 00:10:13,268
Speaker 12: next new rock star. You lose at home to the

225
00:10:13,388 --> 00:10:16,348
Speaker 12: Russell Wilson zombie Steelers that haven't won I think since

226
00:10:16,468 --> 00:10:17,628
Speaker 12: November or something like that.

227
00:10:18,308 --> 00:10:19,188
Speaker 5: That's not spinnable.

228
00:10:19,308 --> 00:10:21,588
Speaker 12: That's just you can't There is no way to say wow,

229
00:10:21,708 --> 00:10:24,468
Speaker 12: but all it's a terrible off. Both of them are terrible,

230
00:10:24,628 --> 00:10:26,308
Speaker 12: and I don't think either going to happen. But I

231
00:10:26,668 --> 00:10:30,068
Speaker 12: still think Lamar, especially with his reputation for losing in

232
00:10:30,148 --> 00:10:31,028
Speaker 12: the playoffs, which has.

233
00:10:30,988 --> 00:10:32,268
Speaker 5: Earned I think it's on him.

234
00:10:32,508 --> 00:10:34,308
Speaker 3: I look at the voice in the headset for both

235
00:10:34,348 --> 00:10:36,068
Speaker 3: of these guys and the names that we talk a

236
00:10:36,068 --> 00:10:38,188
Speaker 3: lot about in terms of play calling, and Joe Brady

237
00:10:38,228 --> 00:10:40,668
Speaker 3: and Todd Munkin. You hear these names, at least Joe

238
00:10:40,708 --> 00:10:44,148
Speaker 3: Brady's in this interview cycle. There was a clip yesterday

239
00:10:44,188 --> 00:10:46,508
Speaker 3: of Josh Allen being asked about Joe Brady, just saying

240
00:10:46,748 --> 00:10:48,508
Speaker 3: what effect has he had on you this season?

241
00:10:48,668 --> 00:10:50,468
Speaker 4: How great has he been? And Josh Allen.

242
00:10:50,588 --> 00:10:53,308
Speaker 3: Cheekily responds, He's terrible. He does nothing for us. I

243
00:10:53,348 --> 00:10:55,228
Speaker 3: think his teams should ignore us. Clearly there is a

244
00:10:55,268 --> 00:10:57,868
Speaker 3: connection there in terms of how successful the Bills offense

245
00:10:57,948 --> 00:11:00,548
Speaker 3: has been. Peter is Tod munk and a guy that

246
00:11:00,628 --> 00:11:02,828
Speaker 3: wants to be an NFL head coach. We hear Joe

247
00:11:02,868 --> 00:11:05,668
Speaker 3: Brady's name a lot, but where does Todd Monkin.

248
00:11:05,468 --> 00:11:05,828
Speaker 4: Lie in this?

249
00:11:06,628 --> 00:11:09,428
Speaker 7: Yeah, you hear his name being requested for slips and

250
00:11:09,748 --> 00:11:11,468
Speaker 7: he'll go through this process, but he's not one of

251
00:11:11,508 --> 00:11:13,708
Speaker 7: the hot candidates right now. I remember the Jets interviewed

252
00:11:13,748 --> 00:11:17,948
Speaker 7: Todd Munkin in twenty nineteen, back when he was from

253
00:11:18,028 --> 00:11:18,828
Speaker 7: Southern miss.

254
00:11:18,668 --> 00:11:21,628
Speaker 2: And Tampa as an offensive coordinator, and he was a

255
00:11:21,708 --> 00:11:24,388
Speaker 2: hot name then. So Munkin's name always being mentioned.

256
00:11:24,428 --> 00:11:28,068
Speaker 7: And of course this season has been an absolute masterpiece.

257
00:11:28,188 --> 00:11:30,348
Speaker 7: But I would say, Joe Brady, you're talking about the

258
00:11:30,348 --> 00:11:33,228
Speaker 7: two offensive coordinators. There is a lot hotter in the

259
00:11:33,308 --> 00:11:35,908
Speaker 7: coaching circles and got a lot more buzz right now

260
00:11:36,028 --> 00:11:37,388
Speaker 7: than Monkins, whether deserved or not.

261
00:11:38,188 --> 00:11:41,148
Speaker 3: Oh, how much they have climbed since their days competing

262
00:11:41,148 --> 00:11:44,548
Speaker 3: against each other in the SEC. Shout out to Akbar's

263
00:11:44,588 --> 00:11:47,108
Speaker 3: friend Alvin going to the prom. That's what Manti looks

264
00:11:47,188 --> 00:11:49,788
Speaker 3: like this morning. It's a great look for Manti and everybody.

265
00:11:50,668 --> 00:11:53,668
Speaker 3: We are moving on to Mike Garafalo, our insider assigned

266
00:11:53,668 --> 00:11:55,388
Speaker 3: to us this morning. Mike g good morning to you.

267
00:11:55,948 --> 00:11:59,108
Speaker 3: There is a lot to look forward to this weekend. However,

268
00:11:59,148 --> 00:12:02,428
Speaker 3: there is some tricky navigation as it pertains to Monday night,

269
00:12:02,508 --> 00:12:04,988
Speaker 3: the Vikings coming to LA to take on the Rams

270
00:12:04,988 --> 00:12:06,268
Speaker 3: in the final wildcard game.

271
00:12:06,748 --> 00:12:08,228
Speaker 5: Yes, Jamie, Good morning everybody.

272
00:12:08,548 --> 00:12:11,148
Speaker 13: The NFL releasing a statement last night saying that their

273
00:12:11,268 --> 00:12:14,628
Speaker 13: first priorities with the safety of the Los Angeles community

274
00:12:14,748 --> 00:12:17,428
Speaker 13: and that Monday's game remains.

275
00:12:17,108 --> 00:12:19,188
Speaker 5: On track to be played at SOFI.

276
00:12:18,868 --> 00:12:22,748
Speaker 13: Stadium, but they're working on a contingency plan just in case.

277
00:12:23,588 --> 00:12:26,868
Speaker 13: State Farms Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, which served as the

278
00:12:27,068 --> 00:12:29,148
Speaker 13: home stadium for the forty nine ers when they had

279
00:12:29,188 --> 00:12:33,228
Speaker 13: to relocate during COVID it's hosted neutral site games before.

280
00:12:33,068 --> 00:12:36,108
Speaker 5: That would be the venue if the game needs to

281
00:12:36,188 --> 00:12:36,628
Speaker 5: be moved.

282
00:12:36,708 --> 00:12:38,388
Speaker 13: As of right now, has not been moved with the

283
00:12:38,508 --> 00:12:41,388
Speaker 13: NFL will continue to monitor while also providing support as

284
00:12:41,428 --> 00:12:44,948
Speaker 13: best they can to the LA community. I saw some

285
00:12:45,028 --> 00:12:46,668
Speaker 13: folks say why not just play it in Minnesota.

286
00:12:46,708 --> 00:12:49,188
Speaker 5: The Vikings have the bet. No, no, Vikings home game.

287
00:12:49,468 --> 00:12:52,748
Speaker 13: Nobody's blowing the Galla horn, Jamie or otherwise.

288
00:12:53,068 --> 00:12:55,668
Speaker 5: This week. Meanwhile, Jalen Hurts back on.

289
00:12:55,748 --> 00:12:58,148
Speaker 13: The practice field for the Eagles in a limited fashion

290
00:12:58,508 --> 00:13:00,028
Speaker 13: as he works his way through.

291
00:12:59,908 --> 00:13:01,108
Speaker 5: The concussion protocol.

292
00:13:01,868 --> 00:13:04,348
Speaker 13: Nick Sirianni not really providing a whole lot of him

293
00:13:04,388 --> 00:13:06,148
Speaker 13: information on that one, but that's the way that he

294
00:13:06,308 --> 00:13:06,788
Speaker 13: does things.

295
00:13:07,228 --> 00:13:09,428
Speaker 5: Look, the Eagles released Ian Book, who.

296
00:13:09,428 --> 00:13:12,428
Speaker 13: Was the fourth quarterback they added when Hurts got hurt,

297
00:13:12,508 --> 00:13:14,748
Speaker 13: So that was an indication certainly that they felt confident

298
00:13:14,748 --> 00:13:18,188
Speaker 13: about Hurts's availability this week. My expectations he should be

299
00:13:18,268 --> 00:13:19,068
Speaker 13: able to play again.

300
00:13:19,148 --> 00:13:20,668
Speaker 5: That's right, Dalen thumbs up.

301
00:13:20,668 --> 00:13:23,068
Speaker 13: Should be able to play against the Packers this coming weekend.

302
00:13:23,268 --> 00:13:25,548
Speaker 13: Will continue to monitor that one for you. Mean, while

303
00:13:25,628 --> 00:13:28,388
Speaker 13: the coaching front, a guy that used to coach for

304
00:13:28,508 --> 00:13:32,108
Speaker 13: the Eagles way back in the day, Steve Spagnolo, gets

305
00:13:32,228 --> 00:13:35,508
Speaker 13: on the board. Two requests came back to back yesterday,

306
00:13:35,748 --> 00:13:39,148
Speaker 13: the Jets and the Raiders requesting the former Rams head

307
00:13:39,188 --> 00:13:41,548
Speaker 13: coach for head coaching interviews. He has done such a

308
00:13:41,668 --> 00:13:45,468
Speaker 13: phenomenal job as a defensive coordinator of the Chiefs, winning

309
00:13:45,548 --> 00:13:49,148
Speaker 13: more Super Bowl than any coordinator in history, doing a

310
00:13:49,188 --> 00:13:51,108
Speaker 13: great job of that and getting the respect for that

311
00:13:51,268 --> 00:13:53,788
Speaker 13: with the Jets and the Raiders. The Raiders just letting

312
00:13:53,828 --> 00:13:57,028
Speaker 13: go Antonio Pierce, whom Spagnola once coached with the Giants.

313
00:13:57,308 --> 00:14:01,708
Speaker 13: Cliff Kingsbury, former head coach per r Ian Rappaport this morning,

314
00:14:01,828 --> 00:14:02,908
Speaker 13: has received requests.

315
00:14:02,948 --> 00:14:04,708
Speaker 5: Boy, that's small writing there. I'll tell you. I'll just

316
00:14:04,748 --> 00:14:05,588
Speaker 5: tell you, don't have to read it.

317
00:14:06,228 --> 00:14:10,588
Speaker 13: The Commanders offensive coordinator getting requests from the Bears and

318
00:14:10,748 --> 00:14:11,628
Speaker 13: the Saints for.

319
00:14:11,708 --> 00:14:12,548
Speaker 5: The head coaching position.

320
00:14:12,628 --> 00:14:13,868
Speaker 13: He was asked about do you want to be a

321
00:14:13,948 --> 00:14:17,268
Speaker 13: head coach again recently by the Washington media. Kind of

322
00:14:17,428 --> 00:14:19,668
Speaker 13: hesitated but sort of said yeah, yeah, eventually when the

323
00:14:19,748 --> 00:14:22,508
Speaker 13: time is right. So we'll see about this and these

324
00:14:22,828 --> 00:14:26,588
Speaker 13: interviews that can be conducted next week because the Commanders

325
00:14:26,628 --> 00:14:28,068
Speaker 13: are playing this weekend.

326
00:14:30,468 --> 00:14:31,708
Speaker 5: Welcome back to GMF.

327
00:14:32,348 --> 00:14:37,668
Speaker 7: We are working in zoom home locations remotely because we

328
00:14:37,828 --> 00:14:40,388
Speaker 7: are aware of what's going on in Los Angeles today

329
00:14:40,668 --> 00:14:41,948
Speaker 7: and there are a lot of people who are on

330
00:14:42,028 --> 00:14:43,868
Speaker 7: our staff are affected. So we are doing the show

331
00:14:43,908 --> 00:14:46,228
Speaker 7: from home. Bear with us as this is not our

332
00:14:46,308 --> 00:14:48,908
Speaker 7: usual studio set up, but it is Thursday, and we

333
00:14:48,988 --> 00:14:51,308
Speaker 7: do do the running me out and we got an

334
00:14:51,388 --> 00:14:56,268
Speaker 7: incredible little nugget from our guy Tom Pelasero on the

335
00:14:56,588 --> 00:14:57,868
Speaker 7: X Speed Yesterday.

336
00:14:58,588 --> 00:14:59,588
Speaker 2: Can't make this stuff up.

337
00:15:00,028 --> 00:15:03,228
Speaker 7: Multiple NFL teams have inquired about whether legendary coach Bill

338
00:15:03,388 --> 00:15:08,548
Speaker 7: Belichick woul consider his move from college football, including the Raiders,

339
00:15:08,748 --> 00:15:12,108
Speaker 7: whose new minority owner Tom Brady spoke recently with his

340
00:15:12,268 --> 00:15:17,548
Speaker 7: old coach. Per league sources, we inter we out, I'm

341
00:15:17,548 --> 00:15:19,228
Speaker 7: going to say a statement. You tell me whether you

342
00:15:19,388 --> 00:15:23,988
Speaker 7: agree with it. The Las Vegas Raiders should do everything

343
00:15:24,028 --> 00:15:28,068
Speaker 7: in their power to reunite Brady and Belichick and bring

344
00:15:28,188 --> 00:15:31,148
Speaker 7: in the Belichick Raiders era.

345
00:15:31,628 --> 00:15:34,788
Speaker 2: Jamie Rdall, are we in or are we out? With

346
00:15:34,948 --> 00:15:35,588
Speaker 2: this movement?

347
00:15:36,308 --> 00:15:36,908
Speaker 4: I'm out on this.

348
00:15:37,548 --> 00:15:42,628
Speaker 3: I take you back to twenty fourteen. My first big

349
00:15:42,708 --> 00:15:45,588
Speaker 3: girl TV job is in New England. I have to

350
00:15:45,668 --> 00:15:48,188
Speaker 3: go to the Patriots press conferences every week. I got

351
00:15:48,308 --> 00:15:51,108
Speaker 3: to listen to those two stand up at the lectern

352
00:15:51,228 --> 00:15:53,828
Speaker 3: and talk to the press. And there is nothing more

353
00:15:53,908 --> 00:15:57,348
Speaker 3: stressful than dealing with a Bill Belichick press conference and interview.

354
00:15:57,588 --> 00:15:59,908
Speaker 3: And it's in the high stakes of a Tom Brady

355
00:15:59,948 --> 00:16:01,748
Speaker 3: press conference interview. I know he's not playing for the

356
00:16:01,788 --> 00:16:03,948
Speaker 3: Raiders anymore. This is not the due I need in

357
00:16:03,988 --> 00:16:05,828
Speaker 3: the NFL anymore for all young.

358
00:16:05,748 --> 00:16:09,308
Speaker 4: Journalists coming up deal with other personalities. We have moved

359
00:16:09,388 --> 00:16:10,508
Speaker 4: on from this in the NFL.

360
00:16:10,628 --> 00:16:12,748
Speaker 3: I don't need anybody to sweat like I did ten

361
00:16:12,868 --> 00:16:14,788
Speaker 3: years ago when I was first trying to figure out

362
00:16:14,828 --> 00:16:16,388
Speaker 3: how to get answers out of Bill Belichick.

363
00:16:16,628 --> 00:16:19,508
Speaker 4: I'm out on this. Let's find a fresh take.

364
00:16:19,388 --> 00:16:22,988
Speaker 8: Off bar Okay, yeah, a fresh take for sure. I

365
00:16:23,028 --> 00:16:25,468
Speaker 8: think that's what the Raiders need. They need something fresh,

366
00:16:25,788 --> 00:16:28,428
Speaker 8: They need something that brings them back into that era

367
00:16:28,548 --> 00:16:30,828
Speaker 8: of commitment to excellence and just to win.

368
00:16:30,988 --> 00:16:31,308
Speaker 9: Baby.

369
00:16:31,788 --> 00:16:33,588
Speaker 8: But I'm going to take you all the way back

370
00:16:33,628 --> 00:16:35,788
Speaker 8: to two thousand and one. We all remember it, we

371
00:16:35,868 --> 00:16:38,428
Speaker 8: all know it, the famous Tuck rule. It's because of

372
00:16:38,548 --> 00:16:42,908
Speaker 8: Bill Belichick that the Raiders went down this crazy slump.

373
00:16:43,228 --> 00:16:46,268
Speaker 8: I mean, had the Raiders gone on to win and

374
00:16:46,428 --> 00:16:48,548
Speaker 8: go on to the Super Bowl back in that season,

375
00:16:49,028 --> 00:16:52,188
Speaker 8: the Raiders would have been a different franchise. But that's

376
00:16:52,428 --> 00:16:56,228
Speaker 8: triggered something that was crazy for us. And then obviously,

377
00:16:56,308 --> 00:16:57,748
Speaker 8: you know, they went to the Super Bowl two thousand

378
00:16:57,748 --> 00:16:58,628
Speaker 8: and two, but we hadn't been.

379
00:16:58,548 --> 00:16:59,148
Speaker 9: The same since.

380
00:16:59,428 --> 00:17:02,508
Speaker 8: And so I blame I blame Bill Belichick because Bill

381
00:17:02,548 --> 00:17:05,188
Speaker 8: Belichick is the one that started off off that dynasty

382
00:17:05,308 --> 00:17:07,628
Speaker 8: from that two thousand and one season that started the

383
00:17:07,708 --> 00:17:10,748
Speaker 8: dynasty for the Patriots. But the Raiders they don't need that.

384
00:17:10,868 --> 00:17:12,588
Speaker 8: And I think too when you look at that, it's

385
00:17:12,668 --> 00:17:15,108
Speaker 8: just kind of old blood. You're trying to re energize.

386
00:17:15,348 --> 00:17:17,788
Speaker 8: It's like the sequel, right, you don't get that again.

387
00:17:18,148 --> 00:17:21,748
Speaker 8: You never coming to America too was horrible. As much

388
00:17:21,788 --> 00:17:23,388
Speaker 8: as I wanted to go support it, I was there

389
00:17:23,428 --> 00:17:25,948
Speaker 8: for it, it just didn't work. I think the Raiders

390
00:17:26,068 --> 00:17:28,988
Speaker 8: need a coach like a Dion Sanders, and I'm gonna

391
00:17:29,028 --> 00:17:31,308
Speaker 8: keep throwing a name like that because that's something that

392
00:17:31,748 --> 00:17:34,828
Speaker 8: an energy that the locker room has not even felt before.

393
00:17:35,028 --> 00:17:37,308
Speaker 8: If the NFL allows Dion Sanders to come in and

394
00:17:37,388 --> 00:17:39,228
Speaker 8: do what he did in Colorado and bring that into

395
00:17:39,428 --> 00:17:40,028
Speaker 8: I mean it's over.

396
00:17:40,108 --> 00:17:42,028
Speaker 9: And especially if it happens for the Raiders.

397
00:17:43,708 --> 00:17:47,108
Speaker 10: Far I'm going to do a little dB celebration that

398
00:17:47,148 --> 00:17:49,468
Speaker 10: they're doing nowadays where they go like this, because I'm

399
00:17:49,588 --> 00:17:52,308
Speaker 10: definitely out on this take.

400
00:17:52,468 --> 00:17:53,468
Speaker 11: And the reason being is this.

401
00:17:54,308 --> 00:17:57,708
Speaker 10: The last time that these two, this duo was successful

402
00:17:57,868 --> 00:17:59,748
Speaker 10: is when one of the duo was on the field

403
00:17:59,788 --> 00:18:02,908
Speaker 10: playing quarterback in Tom Brady. That's the only time that

404
00:18:03,068 --> 00:18:06,628
Speaker 10: this duo was success other than that when Tom Brady

405
00:18:06,708 --> 00:18:10,148
Speaker 10: went over to the Buccaneers, that Bill Belichick didn't have

406
00:18:10,268 --> 00:18:12,108
Speaker 10: the type of success that he had with Tom Brady.

407
00:18:12,228 --> 00:18:14,908
Speaker 10: So what is both of them going to do in

408
00:18:15,068 --> 00:18:17,948
Speaker 10: the front office? How is that going to help them

409
00:18:18,108 --> 00:18:20,068
Speaker 10: win a lot of games for the Las Vegas Raiders.

410
00:18:20,068 --> 00:18:22,828
Speaker 10: And you talk about sequels, I'm with you, off Bar.

411
00:18:22,908 --> 00:18:26,788
Speaker 10: The sequel is never better than the original, whether it

412
00:18:26,828 --> 00:18:29,308
Speaker 10: be Coming to America, whether it be Joker Too, whatever

413
00:18:29,428 --> 00:18:31,908
Speaker 10: it is, it's just never good as the original. So

414
00:18:32,548 --> 00:18:35,748
Speaker 10: I think for all NFL fans, let's just be better

415
00:18:35,828 --> 00:18:37,428
Speaker 10: if Tom stays in Las.

416
00:18:37,268 --> 00:18:39,468
Speaker 11: Vegas and Bill goes to North Carolina.

417
00:18:40,108 --> 00:18:41,308
Speaker 5: It's really cool you do.

418
00:18:41,508 --> 00:18:43,108
Speaker 12: I'm in you do this, and then you get Wes

419
00:18:43,148 --> 00:18:45,868
Speaker 12: Welker to round the offense, and Danny A. Mondola coaches

420
00:18:45,908 --> 00:18:48,628
Speaker 12: the receivers, and Teddy Bruski will go and he'll coach

421
00:18:48,628 --> 00:18:50,508
Speaker 12: the dv You just get the whole band back together.

422
00:18:50,708 --> 00:18:53,428
Speaker 12: Pioli can come. We love Poli. Get him in there, guys.

423
00:18:53,948 --> 00:18:56,028
Speaker 12: I have a million different reactions to this. The first

424
00:18:56,028 --> 00:18:58,588
Speaker 12: of all, I was like, imagine if this happened, what

425
00:18:58,708 --> 00:19:01,588
Speaker 12: does Bill say to North Carolina and their entire athletic

426
00:19:01,668 --> 00:19:03,828
Speaker 12: department and everything that he's promised and pledged them at

427
00:19:03,868 --> 00:19:05,428
Speaker 12: what they're going to do. I was just like, sorry,

428
00:19:05,588 --> 00:19:07,748
Speaker 12: I have to go coach the crappy Raiders because my

429
00:19:07,828 --> 00:19:11,508
Speaker 12: old quarterback is a minority owner. By the way, Belichick's

430
00:19:11,548 --> 00:19:13,708
Speaker 12: capable of it, You tell me he's not. He already

431
00:19:13,748 --> 00:19:15,148
Speaker 12: did it to the Jets when he was supposed to

432
00:19:15,148 --> 00:19:17,388
Speaker 12: be their coach. He saw Josh McDaniels do it to

433
00:19:17,468 --> 00:19:19,188
Speaker 12: the Colts when he was supposed to be their coach.

434
00:19:19,548 --> 00:19:22,228
Speaker 12: That he could totally flipmb on a runaway coach like that.

435
00:19:22,508 --> 00:19:25,548
Speaker 12: And in the meantime, not everything has to be nostalgia

436
00:19:25,628 --> 00:19:28,068
Speaker 12: and retro and reunions all the time. We're so obsessed

437
00:19:28,148 --> 00:19:30,828
Speaker 12: with that as a culture. Like these two guys getting

438
00:19:30,908 --> 00:19:33,708
Speaker 12: back together and coaching and running the Raiders. It's not

439
00:19:33,868 --> 00:19:36,788
Speaker 12: like blink when any two reuniting and playing where are you?

440
00:19:37,508 --> 00:19:40,028
Speaker 12: It's football. It's not just brock and roll. They have

441
00:19:40,068 --> 00:19:42,668
Speaker 12: to compete against other teams. And by the way, the

442
00:19:42,788 --> 00:19:45,628
Speaker 12: Raiders have already tried this. They've tried it more than once.

443
00:19:46,028 --> 00:19:48,028
Speaker 12: They tried it with John Gruden to bring him back.

444
00:19:48,308 --> 00:19:51,908
Speaker 12: They tried it with Art Shell to bring it never works.

445
00:19:52,388 --> 00:19:54,508
Speaker 12: Try Washington. They tried it with Joe Gibbon, like we're

446
00:19:54,548 --> 00:19:57,868
Speaker 12: going back to super blighting squad. It doesn't usually work.

447
00:19:58,028 --> 00:20:00,068
Speaker 12: To say, what if we put him back to get

448
00:20:00,708 --> 00:20:03,308
Speaker 12: is Brady playing quarterback? And if he is, then we

449
00:20:03,348 --> 00:20:05,308
Speaker 12: can have a conversation and if he's ten years younger.

450
00:20:05,388 --> 00:20:08,228
Speaker 12: But until then, like if it happens, fine, I think

451
00:20:08,788 --> 00:20:11,588
Speaker 12: woefully and wildly disrespectful in North Carolina.

452
00:20:11,708 --> 00:20:13,548
Speaker 5: But Belichick showed he's capable of that already.

453
00:20:14,628 --> 00:20:16,828
Speaker 7: Yeah, Kyle, And they actually tried it a couple of

454
00:20:16,868 --> 00:20:19,468
Speaker 7: years ago, even getting a piece of the Belichick apple.

455
00:20:19,508 --> 00:20:22,228
Speaker 7: When they hired Josh mcdanels as their head coach. They

456
00:20:22,308 --> 00:20:25,068
Speaker 7: had Michae Lombardi's son Mick Lombardi running the offense.

457
00:20:25,148 --> 00:20:27,708
Speaker 2: They had all these Patriots people. Danny Amadola was on

458
00:20:27,828 --> 00:20:30,708
Speaker 2: the staff. He was on the staff. Danny Amadola works

459
00:20:30,708 --> 00:20:32,948
Speaker 2: for mcdonna. Like they've gone down this road. They didn't

460
00:20:32,948 --> 00:20:33,068
Speaker 2: have the.

461
00:20:33,068 --> 00:20:36,548
Speaker 7: Big man Belichick. I also imposed this as warm and

462
00:20:36,628 --> 00:20:39,668
Speaker 7: fuzzy as Belichick and Brady might be post roast and

463
00:20:39,748 --> 00:20:44,908
Speaker 7: post everything else. Like last year, any of these teams

464
00:20:44,948 --> 00:20:47,228
Speaker 7: could have met with Belichick, and he was a free agent,

465
00:20:47,308 --> 00:20:48,908
Speaker 7: and he didn't have to get a ten million dollar

466
00:20:48,988 --> 00:20:51,588
Speaker 7: buyout to North Carolina. And you didn't have to, you know,

467
00:20:51,748 --> 00:20:54,548
Speaker 7: embarrass the University of North Carolina football program to go

468
00:20:54,628 --> 00:20:55,148
Speaker 7: around there.

469
00:20:55,108 --> 00:20:57,908
Speaker 2: Back and do this. Last year, all these teams had

470
00:20:57,948 --> 00:21:00,068
Speaker 2: the opportunity. Now the phones are lighting up.

471
00:21:00,428 --> 00:21:01,228
Speaker 5: I'd almost say.

472
00:21:01,108 --> 00:21:03,548
Speaker 7: Shame on the NFL more than shame on Belichick for

473
00:21:03,708 --> 00:21:06,388
Speaker 7: entertaining it. Belichick's a business man. He can go back

474
00:21:06,388 --> 00:21:07,828
Speaker 7: to the NFL if he gets an offer. If a

475
00:21:07,828 --> 00:21:10,708
Speaker 7: team wants to pay ten million dollars, God bless him,

476
00:21:10,748 --> 00:21:12,868
Speaker 7: go for it. Paydon North Carolina ten million dollars. They'll

477
00:21:12,868 --> 00:21:14,668
Speaker 7: have Freddy Kitchens be the coach next year and they'll

478
00:21:14,668 --> 00:21:17,868
Speaker 7: be fine. But as far as the NFL as a whole,

479
00:21:18,388 --> 00:21:20,508
Speaker 7: you're telling me last year, none of you wanted to

480
00:21:20,548 --> 00:21:22,788
Speaker 7: meet with Belichick. But now that he's got a job

481
00:21:22,828 --> 00:21:25,108
Speaker 7: and he's employed, now you're burning up his phone line.

482
00:21:25,388 --> 00:21:27,268
Speaker 7: Shame on you, and shame on the NFL owners from

483
00:21:27,268 --> 00:21:29,148
Speaker 7: missing the boat last year if they really wanted to

484
00:21:29,228 --> 00:21:29,388
Speaker 7: do this.

485
00:21:29,868 --> 00:21:32,668
Speaker 2: All Right, now that that rant's done, let's get to

486
00:21:32,748 --> 00:21:33,388
Speaker 2: the next question.

487
00:21:33,548 --> 00:21:36,108
Speaker 7: Here, our hearts are with Los Angeles right now with

488
00:21:36,828 --> 00:21:38,588
Speaker 7: the terror that's going on out there.

489
00:21:38,548 --> 00:21:40,308
Speaker 2: But there is a football game scheduled.

490
00:21:40,588 --> 00:21:42,948
Speaker 7: We reported earlier in the show that there are contingency

491
00:21:43,028 --> 00:21:45,468
Speaker 7: plans to be playing that game in Phoenix.

492
00:21:46,508 --> 00:21:47,588
Speaker 2: Put that aside for now.

493
00:21:47,788 --> 00:21:51,588
Speaker 7: The fact is the Vikings had a fourteen win season

494
00:21:52,148 --> 00:21:53,788
Speaker 7: and they're going on the road to play.

495
00:21:53,628 --> 00:21:56,348
Speaker 2: The Rams, a team that had a far worse record

496
00:21:56,468 --> 00:21:56,788
Speaker 2: than them.

497
00:21:57,308 --> 00:21:58,988
Speaker 7: That is the case a lot of times, but we

498
00:21:59,868 --> 00:22:02,908
Speaker 7: always give the gift of a home playoff game to

499
00:22:03,068 --> 00:22:07,028
Speaker 7: a division winner. But Washington has a better record than Tampa.

500
00:22:08,148 --> 00:22:10,028
Speaker 7: Minnesota has a better record than the Rams.

501
00:22:10,708 --> 00:22:11,708
Speaker 5: So I ask you, and I.

502
00:22:11,708 --> 00:22:15,148
Speaker 7: Start with Manti Tayo, we should scrap this home field

503
00:22:15,148 --> 00:22:17,828
Speaker 7: advantage for a division winner. You shouldn't be rewarded for

504
00:22:17,948 --> 00:22:20,108
Speaker 7: just winning the division, especially in a down year in

505
00:22:20,148 --> 00:22:21,748
Speaker 7: the NFC West and a down year.

506
00:22:21,588 --> 00:22:24,228
Speaker 2: In the NFC South. The team with the better record

507
00:22:24,788 --> 00:22:27,748
Speaker 2: should be home in the wild card and divisional round.

508
00:22:27,868 --> 00:22:29,228
Speaker 2: Manti tayl your thoughts.

509
00:22:29,868 --> 00:22:30,668
Speaker 11: I kind of liked that.

510
00:22:31,028 --> 00:22:32,068
Speaker 5: I kind of like that, Peter.

511
00:22:32,508 --> 00:22:34,508
Speaker 10: It kind of reminds me of what the College Football

512
00:22:34,548 --> 00:22:37,668
Speaker 10: Playoff did this year with their first round of the playoffs.

513
00:22:38,268 --> 00:22:41,748
Speaker 11: The higher ranked team gets a home field advantage.

514
00:22:41,948 --> 00:22:45,628
Speaker 10: I kind of like that a lot because but then

515
00:22:45,988 --> 00:22:48,108
Speaker 10: also you asked the question, does that kind of negate

516
00:22:48,228 --> 00:22:50,148
Speaker 10: the whole division conference winner?

517
00:22:50,668 --> 00:22:50,788
Speaker 5: You know?

518
00:22:50,988 --> 00:22:53,668
Speaker 10: So I like the fact that if you want a

519
00:22:53,708 --> 00:22:55,348
Speaker 10: lot of games, you should reward it for it. So

520
00:22:55,708 --> 00:22:57,668
Speaker 10: I'm in on this one, all right.

521
00:22:57,788 --> 00:23:01,228
Speaker 12: So Peter, my head is in on this, but my

522
00:23:01,348 --> 00:23:05,028
Speaker 12: heart is out, Like I just don't want too many changes. Listen,

523
00:23:05,348 --> 00:23:07,548
Speaker 12: we're seeing that the kickoffs are different. Now you got

524
00:23:07,948 --> 00:23:11,388
Speaker 12: linebackers wearing number zero. Like at some point there needs

525
00:23:11,428 --> 00:23:12,908
Speaker 12: to be kind of an h O way that steps

526
00:23:12,948 --> 00:23:15,028
Speaker 12: in it says we can't keep changing the game this week.

527
00:23:15,748 --> 00:23:17,908
Speaker 5: It makes my heart beat too fast when we changed

528
00:23:17,948 --> 00:23:18,388
Speaker 5: this much.

529
00:23:18,708 --> 00:23:21,068
Speaker 12: And frankly, like, I know, it doesn't make sense, and

530
00:23:21,108 --> 00:23:23,508
Speaker 12: I totally understand the logic of it, but there is

531
00:23:23,668 --> 00:23:26,148
Speaker 12: part of me that likes won A seven and nine

532
00:23:26,268 --> 00:23:29,228
Speaker 12: team hosts a home playoff game, and by the way,

533
00:23:29,428 --> 00:23:32,188
Speaker 12: sometimes they win, like I remember recently, even the Ron

534
00:23:32,308 --> 00:23:35,588
Speaker 12: rivera Washington football team with Taylor Heineke, hosted the Tom

535
00:23:35,628 --> 00:23:39,868
Speaker 12: Brady Buccaneers at home because they won whatever they needed

536
00:23:39,908 --> 00:23:42,708
Speaker 12: to win to get home. It's weird, it doesn't make sense,

537
00:23:42,788 --> 00:23:44,308
Speaker 12: but it's like you know what they say about the

538
00:23:44,388 --> 00:23:47,348
Speaker 12: city of Austin, like keep Austin weird. Don't be dropping

539
00:23:47,428 --> 00:23:49,228
Speaker 12: in all these corporate I just wanted to keep the

540
00:23:49,348 --> 00:23:51,188
Speaker 12: NFL a little bit weird, and it's kind of what

541
00:23:51,308 --> 00:23:51,908
Speaker 12: makes the charming.

542
00:23:51,988 --> 00:23:53,348
Speaker 5: So don't take everything away from us.

543
00:23:53,588 --> 00:23:54,908
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a long history of it.

544
00:23:55,028 --> 00:23:57,148
Speaker 7: Kyle and Akbar, I want to hear your thoughts, So

545
00:23:57,228 --> 00:24:00,708
Speaker 7: just real quick, the Marshawn Lynch, you know that run,

546
00:24:00,828 --> 00:24:02,868
Speaker 7: that famous run that he had that was against they

547
00:24:02,908 --> 00:24:05,108
Speaker 7: were like a seven and nine Seahawk, that was against

548
00:24:05,108 --> 00:24:06,828
Speaker 7: an eleven to win Saints team and they beat them,

549
00:24:06,908 --> 00:24:08,468
Speaker 7: and the Seahawks won because they were home and they

550
00:24:08,508 --> 00:24:09,388
Speaker 7: had Marshaw Letchard the.

551
00:24:09,388 --> 00:24:11,388
Speaker 2: Greatest run of all time. So it happens a lot

552
00:24:11,508 --> 00:24:15,188
Speaker 2: if Bar your point, you know, for me, my heart

553
00:24:15,348 --> 00:24:16,068
Speaker 2: and my head.

554
00:24:15,988 --> 00:24:16,708
Speaker 9: It's out on this.

555
00:24:16,868 --> 00:24:20,708
Speaker 8: I think the NFL should absolutely maintain the current playoff

556
00:24:20,748 --> 00:24:25,508
Speaker 8: structure where the division winners earn a home playoff game.

557
00:24:25,668 --> 00:24:28,148
Speaker 8: The NFL is the number one sport in America, and

558
00:24:28,228 --> 00:24:31,348
Speaker 8: that's for a reason. Every single game matters. So if

559
00:24:31,388 --> 00:24:34,668
Speaker 8: the division champion no longer gets the seating priority, like

560
00:24:34,948 --> 00:24:38,348
Speaker 8: you're literally weakening the stakes of all the division games,

561
00:24:38,388 --> 00:24:41,948
Speaker 8: like if playoff Seatings is determined, like solely built by record,

562
00:24:42,348 --> 00:24:44,588
Speaker 8: Like come on, there's no point of even playing in

563
00:24:44,708 --> 00:24:48,228
Speaker 8: the division because like there's nothing to be gained by

564
00:24:48,468 --> 00:24:51,068
Speaker 8: winning a division anymore. Like you look at that game,

565
00:24:51,428 --> 00:24:53,588
Speaker 8: you know, against the Vikings and the Lions, like all

566
00:24:53,628 --> 00:24:56,068
Speaker 8: of a sudden, that game had high stakes. Were all

567
00:24:56,108 --> 00:24:57,868
Speaker 8: sitting on the edge of our seat, and at this

568
00:24:57,948 --> 00:25:00,148
Speaker 8: point you're going on it doesn't matter, you know, like

569
00:25:00,268 --> 00:25:02,548
Speaker 8: the number one will get home field advantage and then

570
00:25:02,988 --> 00:25:06,108
Speaker 8: the Vikings would end up getting two games where they

571
00:25:06,268 --> 00:25:08,228
Speaker 8: have they get a chance to play at home. Like

572
00:25:08,348 --> 00:25:11,428
Speaker 8: that's whack man, that's wiggedy wiggedy whack. That's an age sling.

573
00:25:11,548 --> 00:25:11,948
Speaker 9: Look it up.

574
00:25:12,348 --> 00:25:15,748
Speaker 4: I am in on the change. I do not accept mediocrity.

575
00:25:15,788 --> 00:25:18,468
Speaker 3: I'm sick of these divisions that go seven and nine

576
00:25:18,548 --> 00:25:20,548
Speaker 3: and the division winner gets to host the home game.

577
00:25:20,628 --> 00:25:21,428
Speaker 4: It's so annoying.

578
00:25:21,548 --> 00:25:24,788
Speaker 3: Be better divisions, Like if you want to be ten

579
00:25:24,908 --> 00:25:27,228
Speaker 3: and what eight and host it?

580
00:25:27,468 --> 00:25:27,508
Speaker 5: No?

581
00:25:27,668 --> 00:25:30,308
Speaker 3: No, win fourteen games and then you get to host

582
00:25:30,388 --> 00:25:32,868
Speaker 3: a playoff game. Right, I'm in on the change, let's go.

583
00:25:33,308 --> 00:25:34,308
Speaker 2: I definitely respect that.

584
00:25:34,428 --> 00:25:38,188
Speaker 7: As a Vikings, Minnesota native, Jamie I understand where you're

585
00:25:38,188 --> 00:25:38,628
Speaker 7: coming from.

586
00:25:39,108 --> 00:25:39,948
Speaker 5: I will just say this.

587
00:25:40,428 --> 00:25:42,108
Speaker 2: I will just say this. I don't think they're ever

588
00:25:42,188 --> 00:25:42,708
Speaker 2: going to change it.

589
00:25:42,828 --> 00:25:45,828
Speaker 7: I think the NFL owners like the idea of having

590
00:25:45,868 --> 00:25:48,068
Speaker 7: a one and four chance of hosting a playoff game

591
00:25:48,188 --> 00:25:51,028
Speaker 7: every single January. Every year you go to a season,

592
00:25:51,068 --> 00:25:53,548
Speaker 7: there's a one and four chance we're hosting a playoff

593
00:25:53,588 --> 00:25:55,348
Speaker 7: game that would be thrown out the window if we

594
00:25:55,468 --> 00:25:56,188
Speaker 7: change the rules.

595
00:25:56,828 --> 00:26:01,908
Speaker 5: That's wein, we out, We.

596
00:26:02,548 --> 00:26:08,828
Speaker 12: Ready, ready, We ready for y'all.

597
00:26:08,948 --> 00:26:09,748
Speaker 5: Man to tail.

598
00:26:10,028 --> 00:26:12,348
Speaker 12: Tonight at seven thirty pm, the Notre Dames Fighting and

599
00:26:12,348 --> 00:26:15,028
Speaker 12: Irish will take on the Penn State Nitney Lyons for

600
00:26:15,188 --> 00:26:18,108
Speaker 12: a chance to go to the National Championship Game.

601
00:26:18,388 --> 00:26:20,748
Speaker 5: How are you feeling, number five, brother?

602
00:26:21,148 --> 00:26:24,108
Speaker 10: I couldn't be more excited. I couldn't have more energy

603
00:26:24,188 --> 00:26:27,628
Speaker 10: in me. I remember I spoke to the team before

604
00:26:27,708 --> 00:26:30,348
Speaker 10: the Northern Illinois. I know we lost that game, but

605
00:26:30,428 --> 00:26:33,308
Speaker 10: I spoke to the team and I brought up a

606
00:26:33,428 --> 00:26:35,748
Speaker 10: Winston Churchill quote and I said, history will be kind

607
00:26:35,788 --> 00:26:37,868
Speaker 10: of me because I intend to write its pages. And

608
00:26:37,948 --> 00:26:39,868
Speaker 10: I shared with the boys, I said, listen, when I

609
00:26:40,028 --> 00:26:41,628
Speaker 10: was here, I was able to do a lot of things,

610
00:26:41,988 --> 00:26:44,068
Speaker 10: write a lot of history in the space in a

611
00:26:44,148 --> 00:26:47,588
Speaker 10: society where everybody has an opinion. The men in that room,

612
00:26:47,988 --> 00:26:50,108
Speaker 10: you have something that a lot of people don't have.

613
00:26:50,588 --> 00:26:52,588
Speaker 10: And I showed them a pen, and I said, you

614
00:26:52,668 --> 00:26:55,228
Speaker 10: have the ability to write history, so go write it.

615
00:26:55,348 --> 00:26:58,188
Speaker 10: I walked over to Marcus Freeman, I said, coach, it's

616
00:26:58,308 --> 00:27:01,188
Speaker 10: up to you. It's up to you boys to write history.

617
00:27:01,348 --> 00:27:01,468
Speaker 9: Right.

618
00:27:02,828 --> 00:27:05,188
Speaker 10: Marcus Freeman text me after the game last week, said, brother,

619
00:27:05,188 --> 00:27:06,868
Speaker 10: I still have that pen that that you gave me,

620
00:27:06,908 --> 00:27:07,748
Speaker 10: and we're writing history.

621
00:27:07,828 --> 00:27:11,588
Speaker 11: Chapter fifteen is next week. Like, let's go, We're ready.

622
00:27:11,948 --> 00:27:13,468
Speaker 10: I don't know about y'all, but I read I came,

00:27:13,548 --> 00:27:15,668
Speaker 10: shoot it and buddhen so that we got some business

624
00:27:15,748 --> 00:27:16,508
Speaker 10: to take care of tonight.

625
00:27:16,548 --> 00:27:18,788
Speaker 11: Boys, let's go. What you guys think, Let's go.
