8
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 3: Guys.

9
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 4: It can be argued that the Buffalo Bills head coaching

10
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 4: vacancy is far and away the most appealing vacancy in

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 4: this cycle, whether it's been filled or not filled. Get

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 4: a chance to work with Josh Allen on a perennial contender.

13
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 4: It's a fantastic job. So if naturally they got their

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 4: pick of the litter when it comes to coaches, well.

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 3: Earlier on Friday, the Buffalo.

16
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,959
Speaker 4: Bills and Josh Allen apparently we'll get to that part

17
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 4: later interviewed the head coach from Saint Michael Catholic High

18
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 4: School in Fairhope, Alabama. That's right, Former NFL quarterback Philip

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 4: Rivers was interviewed today for the head coaching gig with

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 4: the Buffalo Bills. We don't know how it went, but

21
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 4: we know he had the interview, and he is being

22
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 4: seriously considered, so much so that Vegas currently has him

23
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 4: with the second best.

24
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 3: Odds to get the gig.

25
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 5: And Kelvin I'm just gonna say, I've been covering to

26
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 5: the National Football leag since nineteen eighty seven. This league,

27
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 5: more than any other league, just bothers me because we

28
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 5: see the same thing over and over. The gold posts

29
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 5: are move for people to get opportunities. At one time,

30
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 5: black assistant coaches couldn't even get interviews. That's why they

31
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 5: implemented the Ruty rule that forced owners to even interview

32
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 5: forget about hiring. Here we are in a job cycle,

33
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 5: ten head coaching jobs open. If I'm wrong, I'll admit it.

34
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 5: I don't believe a black coach is gonna get hired.

35
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: We've talked to a couple of NFL reporters.

36
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 5: They couldn't even give you any names. Okay, and we

37
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 5: already know with the Vikings are just Floyd Brian Flores.

38
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 5: I just don't see him getting hired as a head

39
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 5: coach with a pending lawsuit against the NFL.

40
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 3: If they hire him, I'll say I was wrong. I

41
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 3: just don't see that.

42
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 5: But the idea that we already saw the colt tired

43
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 5: Jeff Saturday, who came right out of the TV studio,

44
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 5: was zero coaching experience. And now the idea that they

45
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 5: love Philip Rivers so much that they allowed him to play,

46
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 5: making a mockery of the NFL at forty five years

47
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 5: old after not playing for five years.

48
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 3: Now they want to hire him and make it.

49
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 5: Because he coaches his high school with kids in high school,

50
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 5: that they're going to make him an NFL head coach.

51
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 5: And this is a This isn't about hiring people because

52
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 5: they're black. This is about opportunity. When you when you

53
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 5: go to a pool of people, can the league be

54
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 5: sixty roughly sixty seven percent black guys who've played the game.

55
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 5: They're coaches around the league, right and they're not in

56
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 5: the mix. Something's really wrong when when they can't be

57
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 5: in the mix. And I'm just if they've hired a

58
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 5: black coach with no experience right off the studio. You know,

59
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 5: like you look at some of the guys at ESPN

60
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 5: who are dying for opportunities or what they're still sitting

61
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 5: around waiting and those guys never he's been looking for

62
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 5: a general manager job. But you know what in Atlanta,

63
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 5: what do they do, Matt Ryan, no experience? Hey Matt,

64
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 5: go ahead, buddy.

65
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: You know what, Philip Rivers can possibly be a head

66
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: coach of one of the better teams in the league.

67
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: And this is my point, not ground zero, work your way,

68
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: have some new franchise or something like that. It's disgraceful.

69
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: It's just disgraceful. Yeah, I look, man, I talked to

70
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: Rob g on the way and then I said, there's

71
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: somebody listening right now, Rob, that's going, oh, here we go.

72
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: Why does this have to be a thing not understanding

73
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: that these are conversations that me and you don't want

74
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: to have. In a perfect world, meaning we wouldn't have

75
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: to have these conversations, We wouldn't have to highlight these

76
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: types of things where you brought up the Rooney rule,

77
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: and the Rooney rule was to even just say get

78
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: them in the room, just can you interview?

79
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 3: Because you can't hire somebody if you don't interview.

80
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: Can you at least just take and have a cup

81
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: of coffee with him and say, hey, you know what

82
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: would your philosophies be as a coach? And didn't make

83
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: it acision by what would be your philosophies of being

84
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: a coach. Humor me, Humor me, because we already got

85
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: our guide. We're just checking you off the list. So

86
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: I go back to this, somebody saying, why don't get

87
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: what's the big deal? This is why it matters, Rob.

88
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: You know what they were saying. Twenty five years ago,

89
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: thirty years ago, Black quarterbacks in college couldn't be a

90
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league. They weren't smart enough. There's little

91
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: documentation that NFL leaders and owners and everyone thought they

92
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: weren't smart enough. They didn't possess the mental capacity to

93
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: be a quarterback.

94
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 3: Mind boggling, right.

95
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: Not in say nineteen twenty eight, we're talking eighty eight,

96
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: Doug Williams went to Super Bowl and can't really get

97
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: another opportunity.

98
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 5: Destroyed records and the destroyed records. Tony Dudgeye was a quarterback.

99
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 5: You ain't know that he never played quarterback in Indiana.

100
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,559
Speaker 5: You didn't know that because they moved him to a dB,

101
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 5: didn't they. You didn't even know that.

102
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: There's so many Warren Moon had to go play in

103
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: the wounds of the USFL CFL.

104
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 3: He's well, he won championships in the CFL.

105
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: One hundred. So my point is it's first sits, you

106
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: can't really be in the league. Then it's okay, you

107
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: can be in the league, but you definitely aren't playing

108
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: the prize possession of quarterback. All right now we're seeing quarterbacks,

109
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: mind you taking over the league. But all right, you

110
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: can be quarterbacks, but you can't be coaches. All right,

111
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: Well you can have some assistico, you can't be a

112
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: head coach. You for jags on sure really areg and

113
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: or general managers as a handful, and you for sure

114
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: aren't being an owner. And so the reason why these

115
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: conversations are needed is because the loud messages that screams

116
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: to the youth you can go play, you can go tackle,

117
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: you can do all that. That's where it stops.

118
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 3: And I want to say this. I got a tweet

119
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 3: from a young brother online and.

120
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 5: His message to me was, well, just go buy your

121
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 5: own team and then you can hire whoever you want,

122
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 5: which is just a cop out, okay, because I said, well,

123
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 5: wait a minute, can we look at the NBA.

124
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 3: There are zero black owners. Zero. Is hiring black.

125
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 5: Coaches a question mark or a thing in that league?

126
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 5: Absolutely not. And if you want to talk about making change.

127
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 5: The NBA may change, you know how, because Donald Sterling

128
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 5: said don't bring those black people and all the derogatory

129
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 5: words to the game. The players got together, went to

130
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 5: Adam Silver.

131
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: And said, hey, we are not playing the playoffs.

132
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 3: If this guy's going to.

133
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 5: Be an owner in the NBA. How long after that

134
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 5: was he still an owner in the NBA. So don't

135
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 5: give me that you can't make change. You can make change.

136
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 5: It's about opportunity. If right now on the National Hockey League,

137
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 5: which is I'm gonna say, is ninety nine percent black,

138
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 5: I mean white, ninety nine percent white. If ninety eight

139
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 5: percent of the coaches in the National were black, I

140
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 5: wouldn't people go what is this? This is bizarrero world.

141
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 5: This makes absolutely no sense for all women. All women,

142
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 5: Come on, dude, don't be dumb. Don't act like this

143
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 5: doesn't matter. And oh, you're just from heart or the

144
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 5: best person. It can't be because Jeff's Saturday wasn't the

145
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 5: best person, wasn't qualified.

146
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 3: God forbid, you hired a black.

147
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 5: Guy off the street or out of the studio like

148
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 5: Jeff's Saturday.

149
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: Offensive linean hey, long has just come straight in and

150
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: the radio boot me go coach the Lions.

151
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 5: But I did in doing I'll due diligence today, I did.

152
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 3: I did go and get a comment from the league.

153
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: There's not gonna be anything left for the white people.

154
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: I mean, all the players are black. I mean the

155
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: only thing that the whites control is the coaching jobs.

156
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 6: Now, I'm not being derogatory about it.

157
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 3: But that's hot that's left for them.

158
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 4: So black talent is beautiful, it's great, it's out there.

159
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 4: The only thing left for the whites is a couple

160
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 4: of coaching jobs.

161
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sorry that one. That wasn't the clip. That

162
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: wasn't the clip.

163
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 3: That was Jimmy the Greeks.

164
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: That's what I thought.

165
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, but it sounded like that would be the

166
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 3: cliff for the league.

167
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: Right now, it just looks like thirty forty years later,

168
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: that wasn't a crazy statement. That could be apropos in

169
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, think.

170
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 5: About what he said, that that would be the only

171
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 5: thing the white guys control, all the jobs.

172
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 3: Jimmy the Greek Schneider.

00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:43,920

197
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,320

198
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 3: we'll use. Guys.

199
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 4: Their opponent winning percentage this season was a whopping three

200
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 4: ninety one.

201
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 3: That is unbelieving by far. Judge Matt Evericks in the.

202
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 4: NFL, of course, and you might say, hey, well maybe

203
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 4: they just caught some teams and you know, you play

204
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 4: who's on your schedule. Here's the quarterbacks that they played

205
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 4: this year, some of them Gino Smith twice. Oh, Jake Browning,

206
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 4: Marcus Mariota, Omar Trey, Lance cam Ward, Oh, Justin Fields.

207
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 4: Oh my, Rob's got Davis Mills. And here's my favorite one.

208
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 3: I didn't know.

209
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 4: Who's in the league, Chris Alutakun from the Chiefs exactly.

210
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 4: So that's how they rolled into the posty like, well, hey,

211
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 4: you get to the postseason, the best teams are there

212
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 4: is going to be different, right, not so fast.

213
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 5: So many people in New England they think I hate

214
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 5: New England, Okay, because I was the only honest one

215
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 5: about Tom Brady.

216
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 3: Well, Rob, you didn't even mention it. Okay. Who here's

217
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 3: they played in the playoffs.

218
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 4: They got the Chargers first, the Chargers, who were down

219
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 4: both of their starting tackles and had statistically the worst

220
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 4: offensive offensive line.

221
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: We ain't gotta say statistics, we we sent it.

222
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 4: That was then they're like, hey, we got that vaunted

223
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 4: Houston Texans defense. They also got them. No, Nico Collins

224
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 4: and CJ. Stroud became a JV quarterback right before our eyes.

225
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 4: And now this week AFC Championship game against the number

226
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 4: one seed at ever Broncos who have a backup quarterback

227
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 4: starting this week, and it made his first starting a

228
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 4: couple of years.

229
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 3: And this is my point.

230
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 5: The Patriots, this whole Super Bowl run and trying it,

231
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 5: they're frauds.

232
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 3: Frauds with a capitol F.

233
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 5: The New York Football Giants, who fired their coach this year,

234
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 5: had more wins against teams over five hundred than the

235
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 5: New England Patriots. Rob g just gave you a three

236
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 5: ninety one. That's their winning percentage. If that's baseball, you

237
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 5: got a great You got a great year batting three

238
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 5: ninety one.

239
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

240
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 5: And then all of the advantages we saw it with

241
00:11:55,679 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 5: the Chargers, right, couldn't protect Justin Hrt right, couldn't protect them,

242
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 5: struggle easily beat them.

243
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 3: CJ. Stroud of turnovers.

244
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 5: Four interceptions in the first half, ball game, ball game,

245
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 5: all he had to do was not turn the ball over,

246
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 5: and and Houston wins and now and now here we go.

247
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 5: You have to beat a back of quarterback to get

248
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 5: into the super Bowl. Come, what a charmed life the

249
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 5: New England Patriots are leading. It makes me feel like

250
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,599
Speaker 5: wanting to go to a strip mall and getting the

251
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 5: rub down.

252
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: I'm just saying after that, that's how great this run

253
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: has been. Are you mentioning that because of particular owners?

254
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm just saying the strip mall rubbed out.

255
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: I just didn't know where we heard. Get to them

256
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: all quickly because I don't know where you were going.

257
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: That starts with that. I didn't know where he was going.

258
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 5: I just think that a lot of people, and that's

259
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 5: why I can't pick them. There's a lots why I can't.

260
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 5: I can't pick them. So you're picking the Broncos, even

261
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 5: with a backup quarterback. But I don't think that's crazy,

262
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 5: and I'm not.

263
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna take my little hour and forty minutes

264
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: to finalize my thoughts. What you gotta do, because that's

265
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 1: not crazy the Broncos, because the good thing for them

266
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: is that they have a full week, you know, it

267
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: didn't happen in the middle of the game and say,

268
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: first quarter, I should say, they just throw this guy in.

269
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, they got time to game plan.

270
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 3: What can we do?

271
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 5: Well, I got a name for you too. You ever

272
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 5: hear Nick Foles, He was like, oh yeah, put on

273
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 5: a run. Thank you big Tom Brady. I'm just saying

274
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 5: Tom Brady was the backup quarterback at one point.

275
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 3: He got in and it ain't getting never got back out.

276
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: But that's an example. But going with the Patriot, honestly,

277
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people. We talked about it a

278
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: couple of times throughout the season. You know, I read

279
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: off their whole schedule at one point throughout the season,

280
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: and then we're all like, I don't know if we

281
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: can believe in them yet. And that's what I understand.

282
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: That the only thing I will say, if I have

283
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: to be there Johnny Cochran and throw them some bail

284
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: and you know, try to defend them, I'll say this

285
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: one thing I always look at, and you know, in

286
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: our now two football seasons, we've been together a year

287
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: and a half, you know, total, one of the things

288
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: I always look at is point differential, because one thing's

289
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: teams do. They typically can play down to the opposing teams,

290
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: and some teams they play with their food. They stick

291
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: and let teams stick around. They shouldn't. They barely beat

292
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: teams were like how they barely beat this team. They

293
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: barely beat the you know, the Panthers, or they barely

294
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: beat the Commanders who were down Jalen down you, so

295
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: on and so forth. They were plus one seventeen point differential,

296
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: which was second best in the NFL. So I do

297
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: like that, Okay, you're a bad team. I'm not gonna

298
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: play around with you. I'm gonna beat you it. I'm

299
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: gonna beat your brains and you know, put my foot

300
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: on your neck and show you you are a bad team.

301
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: So I'll give them credit with that. And like Rob

302
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: g mentioned, at the end of the day, you kind

303
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: of you can't help who you have to beat in

304
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: front of you. So I'll stall them out when that

305
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: they just beat who they could.

306
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 5: Now I get that, but you're not playing those teams

307
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 5: in the playoffs like they've gotten breaks, is what I'm saying.

308
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 3: That that's why they all were they all.

309
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: But they did They did beat the Bills. What was

310
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: that the game before the second game or second game

311
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: before the end of the season, So that was a

312
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: big win for them as well to kind of get

313
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: that momentum heading to the postseason. But this is gonna

314
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: be big for them because the pressure is on them,

315
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: right everybody's gonna go all the Broncos they lose, Bo

316
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: Nicks got injured, Patriots are supposed to win. So all

317
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: the pressure is on Drake May MVP candidate, and this

318
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: team and raybel Oh you came back, you changed this

319
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: thing around. The pressure is on the Patriots. But I

320
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: totally can understand that they haven't beaten anybody. The CJ. Strouds,

321
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: the Justin Herbert with no offensive line running for his life.

322
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: I totally see why people aren't sold on them. And

323
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: while I'm not completely sold on them, I think they're

324
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: solid team, a good team. But why you can't just

325
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: go like, oh, they're just definitive team in the AFC

326
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: right now, And I totally get that. But they, to

327
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: their credit, the only thing I can say, just trying

328
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: to find some things. They beat everybody they're supposed to.

329
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: They beat them badly again to the PO But still

330
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: I get what you're saying.

331
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 5: Still doesn't make you like this, This is where you

332
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 5: could lose the test, or even if you get to

333
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 5: the super Bowl and lose against the good team like Seattle,

334
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 5: like you could lose if Seattle or the Rams or whatever,

335
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 5: because you really haven't. And my only thing is, yeah,

336
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 5: you did but three ninety one and you say, you

337
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 5: know how they beat them, but they weren't that good.

338
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 3: That's why.

339
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 5: So you stomping the Jets and scoring forty points, all right,

340
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 5: that feels good for you, But that doesn't mean that

341
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 5: when push comes to shove and the one test that

342
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 5: they might face might finally come to roost, which could

343
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 5: be all year you beat all these teams and then

344
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 5: when they lose to Denver's defense and again for Stidham,

345
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 5: you don't have to be Tom Brady or Peyton Manning

346
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 5: or that's not what you're looking for because a lot

347
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 5: of mid quarterbacks have gone to the Super Bowl and won.

348
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 5: Rex Grossman went to a super Bowl, you know what

349
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 5: I'm saying.

350
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: But it was in Miami that one. But Nick Foles

351
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl. He outplayed Tom Brady in the

352
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So let me throw this out at you.

353
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: By the way, another thing to prove the point that

354
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: they haven't looked great when it went, you know, against

355
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: those real deal teams or in tough situations. As much

356
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: as we talk about CJ. Stroud, Drake May didn't look

357
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: most amazing. Drake May has six turnovers. He has six

358
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: six fumbles, by the way, already this postseason, two games,

359
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: six fumbles. So Drake May hasn't looked you know, amazing

360
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: this postseason as well in his run. Uh he lost

361
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: three of them, but he had six. He has six

362
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: fumbles so far. So if you can get after him,

363
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: which who got after the quarterback better than anybody this

364
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: year the Broncos. Right, So if you can get after him,

365
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: you can make this thing close, and you hope that

366
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 1: he makes a mistake or two or fumbles and get

367
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: you know, and he can get you the ball back.

368
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: You got a shot. They got a good kicker in

369
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: the Broncos, so they got a lot of things going

370
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: for him. And three turnover I want to say, I'm sorry,

371
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: three turnovers, not six. He has six fumbles.

372
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 5: What I want to say, right, three turnover I was

373
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 5: gonna say he had that many sets.

374
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I've looked at that wrong. But he has

375
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: six fumbles, three of them lost, and he's been sacked

376
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: a whole bunch too. He's been sacked a whole bunch

377
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: uh this postseason run, he's been sacked a lot as well.

378
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 5: So yeah, I just the resume just as if they

379
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 5: if they get to go to the super Bowl, it

380
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 5: will be one of the easiest pass ever for real.

381
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 5: Just number one, rob g that three ninety one. Do

382
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 5: they have anything about that? I mean that gott to

383
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 5: be the lowest for somebody to make it into.

384
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 4: Well, we won't know until they get to the super

385
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 4: Bowl level to tell you however, but it just sounds

386
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 4: less than.

387
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 3: Terrible.

388
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: But what they already said it was the easiest schedule

389
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: in decades.

390
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, like twenty years or one of the lowest.

391
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 4: But here's the thing that's interesting is the team that

392
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 4: they are playing in the AFC Championship, the never Broncos.

393
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 4: Their strength to schedule is the second lowest. Now it's

394
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 4: much it's for twenty two, it's much higher. But it's

395
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 4: kind of odd that the two teams that are the

396
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 4: last one standing in the AFC benefited from playing the

397
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 4: worst schedule that was.

398
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: You're the Moroncos. At least you can say we beat

399
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: the bills.

400
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:04,719
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.

401
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: You can say with no real issues, like it wasn't

402
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: like Josh Allen was on the broke and we.

403
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 3: Turned him over seven times exactly.

404
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: You can say we fought and went toe to toe

405
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,719
Speaker 1: and bo next Mitch it makes some big plays. Obviously

406
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: he's out now, but you can least say that.

412
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: uh that could happen. When are they actually gonna announce it?

413
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: Like the weekend of the Super Bowl? When is it?

414
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 3: They'll announced it midweek when.

415
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: We're there, Oh midweek?

416
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 3: Remember that happened last year and Rob had set.

417
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I told you that Josh Allow's going MVP

418
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: and you lost to Ski.

419
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 3: Like, Oh, I told you. I told you a million things.

420
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: Right, so I'm telling you one of the one million

421
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: things I couldn't you that day was a double take.

422
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: And then Eli didn't get in the Hall of Fame. Boy,

423
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: that was a great day. I went and got some

424
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: of those wings in the bounty spot. She was taking

425
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: all the wings up. Yes, she was bringing you. She

426
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: didn't even she literally would just bring you your wings

427
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: like everybody else had to come get their wings. She

428
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:10,959
Speaker 1: would just walk strat to hgo sir, I know you're

429
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: gonna just go and take your wings here at the

430
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: bounties counter. Oh but yeah, we get the awards coming up,

431
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,479
Speaker 1: and MVP is one. Obviously, everybody's watching really comes down

432
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,959
Speaker 1: to two guys. I know there's five people, but Matthew

433
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: Stafford Drake may to me, this could be between that

434
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 1: award if Matthew Stafford's winning, which I believe he will

435
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: if he wins that, and then Rob if he were

436
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: to win this weekend and get to the super Bowl.

437
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: I didn't even say win it, just get to the

438
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 1: super Bowl. Between that and MVP being a super Bowl

439
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: champion already, and obviously the numbers he's gonna put up

440
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: between if he were to retired this year or obviously

441
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: play another yearor two, because they'll just continue to go

442
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: up and he'll be top probably five in just about

443
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: every category. This is a huge couple of weeks for

444
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: Matthew Staffer for between this game, finding a way to

445
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: win it, and then obviously, if he's announced as the MVP,

446
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: which would also and then ultimately of course play in

447
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, let alone win it, that's a whole

448
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: nother story. I think this is a career defining, legacy

449
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: defining next two weeks or so for Matthew Stafford because

450
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: obviously everybody knows the talent's there. That's not the debate.

451
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: Everybody knows Matthew Stafford's been talented since he was at Georgia,

452
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: since he was really playing Texas high school football. We

453
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: know that. But for him to go through those Lion

454
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: seasons oh to sixteen and get him make the postseason

455
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: a few times but didn't get that win, didn't get

456
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: the postseason success you would want, along with that talent

457
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: to then come to the Rams, win it, play in

458
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: the postseason. Now, I think I think he's like six

459
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: and two. I think it is in the postseason with

460
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 1: the Rams, if I'm not mistaken, and win a super

461
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: Bowl with them, If he wins an MVP and goes

462
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl, to me to have two Super

463
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: Bowl appearance super Bowl appearances, one of them you won,

464
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: and an MVP, let alone obviously, if he were to

465
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: win it, if he goes this year. I think this

466
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: is a massive couple of weeks for Matthew Stafford between Oh,

467
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: he was just really good and he had a good

468
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: talented arm and that was pretty much it, and Matthew

469
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 1: Stafford has potentially the chance to be in the Hall

470
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: of Fame. Not saying first battlet like, who was that

471
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: shot King the other day? I think it was. I'm

472
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: not saying he's guaranteed the first ballot, but this could

473
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 1: be two weeks to get him in the Hall of Fame.

474
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 5: If you want to believe in anything that's right in

475
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 5: the world, you do not want Matthew Stafford to make

476
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 5: it to the super Bowl. Wait a minute, you heard

477
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 5: what I Oh, we can't want Matthew Stafford to get

478
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 5: to this, do you don't?

479
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 3: Because it would be the This to me would be

480
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 3: like taking down.

481
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: This is about to be outrageous.

482
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 5: You already know this is about doing Philadelphia, they took

483
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 5: down anything that mentioned slavery down.

484
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 3: In public.

485
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've been doing that last time.

486
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, but this this is going on to try to

487
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 5: rewrite the history of Matthew Stafford. Now, the difference between

488
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 5: me and you is that I actually covered him. Okay,

489
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 5: And I'm not saying that you didn't watch him, but

490
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 5: I actually covered him. I was there and watched his

491
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 5: entire career and Matthews to try to rewrite and what

492
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 5: he's done. First of all, Matthew Stafford had opportunities in

493
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 5: Detroit never panned out. Played with a Hall of Fame

494
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 5: wide receiver, played with the Dominican Sue and some other players,

495
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 5: and they had the top five defense one year they

496
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 5: lost to Dallas.

497
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 3: Okay, stupid.

498
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 5: Most of the stats Matthew Stafford has in his career

499
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 5: or after the Lions are down fourteen twenty one, nothing, a.

500
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 3: Lot of padded.

501
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 5: There's no way you can put a guy in the

502
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 5: Hall of Fame whose nickname is stat Patford. It but

503
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 5: it stuck. Rob, Do you say I made the nickname,

504
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 5: but it stuck. He was tearing up the Cardinals the

505
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 5: other day? And what were people?

506
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 2: What?

507
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 5: What?

508
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 3: Rob g When you saw what was trending?

509
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 5: What did you say to yourself? I, yes you did,

510
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 5: it was trending.

511
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 3: Stat Padford.

512
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 5: How in the world could Stat Padford be a Hall

513
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 5: of Famer. It doesn't even make sense. You don't get

514
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 5: that nickname by accident. Everybody knows here's the other part.

515
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 5: He comes to the Rams that already went to the

516
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 5: Super Bowl.

517
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 3: He didn't he went.

518
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 5: They already went to the Super Bowl without him. They

519
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 5: had a team in place. Matthew Stafford didn't already came.

520
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 5: He threw the game winning touchdown to Cooper cup Kelvin.

521
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 3: Why wasn't he the MVP?

522
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 5: You know how many quarterbacks throw the game winning touchdown

523
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 5: and then they're going to Disneyland.

524
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 3: How come Stafford wasn't the MVP in that game?

525
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,959
Speaker 5: Cuse he threw two picks because he didn't play that

526
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 5: well and he got a pass interference caller set up

527
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 5: first and goal at the one.

528
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 3: That's how I on a third down throw number two.

529
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 5: Look at the stats, the receivers and the weapons that

530
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 5: he has even this year with Davonte Adams and Pooka

531
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 5: and all the weapons that they have the running back.

532
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 3: This team is loaded. They were the number one seed.

533
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 3: What did he do this year? Choked that down?

534
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 5: Terrible performance on Monday Night football in front of everybody

535
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 5: or whatever.

536
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 3: That was that national game against Atlanta.

537
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 5: Also up sixteen points in the fourth quarter against Seattle,

538
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 5: who's terrible in that game. The close of that game

539
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 5: and you're not going to rewrite history to make it

540
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 5: like this guy. Everything he played, he mostly played in

541
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 5: meaningless games. Ninety percent of his career were in meaningless games.

542
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 3: No, can't do No. Ninety percent.

543
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 5: Was crazy winning are meaningless games because most of the

544
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 5: games with the lines were meaningless.

545
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 3: I was there.

546
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: I watched him playing why you win the Division. I'm

547
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: trying to tell you. What I'm saying is okay. So

548
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: I let you go on your soliloquy ten minutes. No no, no, no,

549
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: Now you are under selling so many things here, mister.

550
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: I covered him since the first time. But then let's

551
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: go back to you covering him. They were in sixteen.

552
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: This is a franchise that you set up here and

553
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: wrote forty two million articles about fire Matt Millen. Get

554
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: rid of this person. The Lions stink and he doesn't

555
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: pull it. Eli Manning, he didn't pull some other quarterback.

556
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 1: He didn't pull a k lib I might not want

557
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: to go there. He said, I'm gonna sign up to

558
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: go there. Like you have said, some guys should do

559
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: go play, go go play in Cincinnati. Joe Burrow, he

560
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: goes to Detroit, goes to a franchise that look awful,

561
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: and then he makes them solid to goods some seasons, right,

562
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: they go to the postseason. They're eleven and five, they're

563
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: nine and seven, they're nine and seven. There, they're ten

564
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: and six. They go to the postseason three times.

565
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 5: The Lions were not going to the postseason, you know what,

566
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 5: you were covering them. So for him to come in

567
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 5: there have some very good seasons, get them in the postseason, obviously,

568
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 5: make them entertaining, make them something relevant. Obviously you have Megatron.

569
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,719
Speaker 5: That's huge for a franchise that was so downtrodden that

570
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 5: their best players just walked away, including Barry Sanders, and

571
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 5: ultimately Megatron would as well.

572
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: And then he goes to the Rams. That's an opportunity

573
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: to fail. He could have came to the Rams and

574
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: all you got this great opportunity and stumble and fumble.

575
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: What really happened was made us go, well, dang. What

576
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: would Matthew Stafford look like with a competent organization for

577
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: eight to ten years to twelve fifteen years. What would

578
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford look like if he were with the Rams

579
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: for the entirety of his career or if he were

580
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: with the Packers like Aaron Rodgers throughout the entirety of

581
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: his career, what would he look like? And that's one

582
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 1: of the things that I think a lot of people

583
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: are now saying when you're talking about the changing of

584
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,479
Speaker 1: the story, because people are like, dang, if he had

585
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 1: McVeigh Rawles's career, I don't know what he would have

586
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: looked like. So now he's in the postseason, been producing

587
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: in the postseason, won a Super Bowl MVP candidate. I

588
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: think he's gonna win it. And now he's got a

589
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: chance to go to the Super Bowl again. That is remarkable,

590
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: and he's gonna have all the things you say about Eli,

591
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: top ten and all these he's gonna sort of pass

592
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: him in all of these stats.

593
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 5: Once he said it was only a difference. There's a difference.

594
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 5: He didn't play in any big games, is what I'm

595
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 5: trying to tell you. For most of his career.

596
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: I was there.

597
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 3: I covered the guy from day one.

598
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 5: He's playing, except he played in the NFC uh in

599
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 5: the in the NFC East, Okay, against the Cowboys and

600
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 5: Washington and some good teams over the years. Okay, I'm

601
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 5: telling you that when Matthew Stafford was playing, they weren't playing,

602
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 5: he wasn't winning games, and there was plenty of our oportunity.

603
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 5: He's played seventeen years in the National Football and guess

604
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 5: how many All Pro votes Matthew Stafford has gotten in

605
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 5: seventeen freaking years.

606
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: Many one?

607
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,239
Speaker 3: And that was this year one. I mean, why are

608
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 3: you kidding me?

609
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 5: That's a Hall of famerite guy who didn't even count

610
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 5: and wasn't a part of the All Pro He was

611
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 5: so good and the Super Bowl you ready, twenty six

612
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 5: for forty with two interceptions.

613
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 3: That's why he didn't win MVP.

614
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 5: Against the forty nine ers in the NFC championship game

615
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 5: on q rob G, did you have two interceptions in

616
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 5: that game too? One was dropped by tart or whatever.

617
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 5: But he also in that game. That's why he didn't

618
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 5: win it. That's why didnent the MVP. I don't know

619
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 5: how many guys who throw a game winning touchdown the

620
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 5: Super Bowl don't win MVP. He didn't win it, especially

621
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 5: when the best defensive player in the last ten Oh,

622
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 5: it's because he had two picks seven and two zero

623
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 5: seven and MS what All Pro?

624
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:04,000
