Speaker 5: forty five to win the tournament. So do what you

159
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 5: want with that information. Do you think he's going to

160
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 5: win or lose the entire tournament? Andy, let's start with you, because.

161
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say he's gonna lose it because I just

162
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 4: think that he's got that cockiness, but it's gonna hurt him.

163
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna make a stupid move. He's not

164
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 4: gonna win it.

165
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 6: Okay, Okay, Bucky guy, he's gonna win it. He's gonna

166
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 6: Win's a winner.

167
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 5: Has it always bucket making it easy and harmon.

168
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 4: He said he's gonna win it because he said, I

169
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 4: see he's gonna lose it. That's why he said that.

170
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 2: All right, Norwegian five time champion mid thirties. I think

171
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 2: the hubris gets him. Okay, he gets cute. Okay, he

172
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: gets cute in the match and that's done. I mean,

173
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: is a speech.

174
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 3: Yes, it's rapid. So yeah, maybe at thirty four, the

175
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 3: brain the synapses don't find the same.

176
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 5: Way, right, You think he's slowed down. Maybe maybe that's

177
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 5: what could happen. Well, we'll find out next week when

178
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 5: I come back to you guys.

179
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: Because maybe maybe you got a younger, younger guy coming up.

180
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 2: He's hungry, he's aggressive. He's been studying the work of

181
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 2: Carlson and now he's take him down.

182
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 4: The brain cells are dying.

183
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: Man, How many kids does he have? Are the kids

184
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 2: taking away his time? Especially at the holiday holiday? Holiday season.

185
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 2: All of these things are factors. If we had more

186
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 2: time to do research.

187
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 4: Holiday alcohol alcohol.

188
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 3: See now you took him down a deep dark path.

189
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 2: I was like, maybe he's just distracted because his kids

190
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 2: are in a seasonal thing. Instead you maybe maybe he's

191
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 2: hitting the bottle.

192
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 4: I don't know, the bus before the match. I mean no,

193
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 4: right now, that would be swager.

194
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 2: What do you think, buddy, come walking in and you've

195
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 2: got like a mini growler.

196
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 3: Egs like they sell.

197
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 4: Is there a drug test before the chess tournament? Like

198
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 4: they doing other sports, they take a drug test.

199
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 2: That's a really timely comment because I was, actually, we've

200
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 2: got the pregame on for today.

201
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 4: You have to do the bottle a bottle of test.

202
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 6: You know?

203
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 2: How about that? All these different research points. See, this

204
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: is why you gotta really dig down deep when you're

205
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: doing you're gambling in prognostication, as we do here each

206
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 2: and every week, Bottom Barrel Betting Award winning across the globe,

207
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 2: no question about it. Andy Furman FSR at Bucky Brooks

208
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 2: find me over at Swallendome, Guys, I want to ask

209
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 2: you a big question. I know you probably chopped it

210
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 2: up a little bit two hours ago, but the look

211
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 2: it's changed, the audience changes. We bring on more affiliates

212
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 2: and now I'm sitting here staring at you as well.

213
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 2: College football playoffs a lot of folks doing their handwringing,

214
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 2: going why are they fighting against the NFL, Why couldn't

215
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 2: the NFL do this? Blah blah blah, all of that

216
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 2: to say, you know, but all those games, and especially

217
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: my larger point comes back to the media critics immediately like, well,

218
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: this obviously shows this conference was soft, or this team

219
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: didn't belong whatever. This isn't like you know, a Fortune

220
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 2: five hundred company looking at their earnings statements going ahead

221
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: and giving their projections and maybe, all right, we got

222
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 2: a deal that's not one hundred percent closed, so we

223
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 2: can go a little lower on our forecasting and estimates.

224
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 2: But if we close this, we're gonna blow Wall Street away. Right,

225
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 2: We're gonna have this great headline, it's gonna be the

226
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 2: great press release, and we're gonna dominate. Coaches don't get

227
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 2: to look at their team and then just say, hey,

228
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 2: you know what, I think we're pretty good. I think

229
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put us in for eleven and one. Fix

230
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: me a schedule that makes it, you know, makes it hard.

231
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: So we get the respect we deserve when we go

232
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 2: eleven and one during the regular season, Signetti, bravado, and

233
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 2: let's face it, at some point, I think he flipped

234
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 2: the script to where people thought it was cute and exciting,

235
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: and then it was all right, shut up and go

236
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 2: win some games. And then they go in they get stomped.

237
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: SMU had some big opportunities. The final score is not

238
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: indicative of how well at certain points SMU was able

239
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: to play. The red zone, interceptions, the pick sixes, all

240
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 2: of that stuff. But we immediately have the referendum on

241
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: an event three games in and dismissed the last four

242
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: months of what we watched. Andy, as you were watching this,

243
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: did you start peeking over to the NFL? Did you

244
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 2: maybe find Canada?

245
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 4: B I am so happy, brother, shame of the NFL.

246
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 4: You know, I don't think people realize that, but back

247
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 4: in nineteen sixty one, when you were just a young

248
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 4: little tike swollen Dome. Then maybe Bucket Brooks wasn't even

249
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 4: born yet. But back in nineteen sixty one just added

250
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 4: a decade to my age. My Godgress Congress passed the

251
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 4: Sports Broadcasting Act, of nineteen sixty one, which in addition

252
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 4: to defining how a sports league can pool their broadcasting rights,

253
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 4: and included a provision that are restricted NFL telecasts on

254
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 4: certain days so as not to steal eyeballs from high

255
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 4: school or college games. This provision prohibits telecasts on Fridays

256
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 4: after six pm and all day on Saturdays between the

257
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 4: second Friday and September and the second Saturday in December,

258
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 4: but only only if there's a high school or college

259
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 4: game being played within seventy five miles of the NFL.

260
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 4: Shame of the NFL. You're a big bully, You're a

261
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 4: bit You're doing it to the NBA. I get it

262
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 4: on Christmas Day, but to do it the high schools

263
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 4: and now the colleges have your own time. You got

264
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 4: your own time, do it. And I'm so happy it

265
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 4: brought that up. And not many people know about the

266
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 4: nineteen sixty one Sports Broadcasting Act.

267
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 6: I mean, that's I mean, that's fine.

268
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 8: I think what we've seen the last couple of years

269
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 8: is the NFL continues to flex. All holidays have then

270
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 8: become NFL holidays. Well, it used to be sacred territory

271
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 8: for others. The NFL doesn't get they're squashing grapes, as

272
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 8: they say, so like, this is one where we not

273
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 8: only are going to take college football Saturday, but.

274
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 6: We're going to take Christmas from the NBA.

275
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 8: We're going to continue to take all these things because

276
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 8: football is king. And guess what the ratings suggests that

277
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 8: we can never get enough football no matter when it's played.

278
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 6: It's just one of those things.

279
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: I think when we we look at it, me taking

280
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: my capitalistic approach. If I were the NFL and they

281
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 2: actually tried to enforce this act, I'd be suing from

282
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 2: monopolies and getting that to overturned. I'd also point to

283
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: state to state, one of the great threads you'll find

284
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: on Twitter several times a year. I'm like, Hey, did

285
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: you know that this is still illegal in this state?

286
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: Or this is still allowed? All these obscure laws that

287
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: were on the books from two hundred years ago or

288
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: may still be out there. Do you think we really

289
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 2: want to enforce some of these things? Some of the

290
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: stuff maybe you do in your nocturnal activities, depending on

291
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 2: the state you're residing in and taking part in, might

292
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 2: be illegal. And I mean stuff that everywhere else would

293
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 2: be like, oh wow, A right, they're just getting after

294
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 2: it a bit.

295
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 4: No.

296
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: I mean some of this stuff is really still outlawed.

297
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 2: Do we want to be that Do we want to

298
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 2: police that stuff too? I mean, in this case, it's competition.

299
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 2: That's what I would be yelling. If I'm the NFL.

300
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 2: It's like, all right, it's then go ahead and beat me.

301
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 4: Dog eat dog in the NFL is at the biggest chunks,

302
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 4: and they and they should. I mean, people love the NFL.

303
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 4: You know yesterday that the first, the one and one

304
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 4: a most popular sports in the US of A football

305
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 4: and college football. It's one in one A that's basically it.

306
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 4: And they dominated the sports landscape yesterday. That's what it is.

307
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 4: But I'd love to see one have one and one

308
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 4: have the other. But it's not gonna work that way.

309
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that that genie's out of the bottle and he

310
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: ain't coming back.

311
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 6: Man, No long ago.

312
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 3: For the NBA.

313
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 2: I mean, they can cry about the NFL showing up

314
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 2: on Christmas. You got so many other things to worry

315
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: about of your infrastructure and product. And when you've got

316
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 2: your most popular players are all thirty seven to forty

317
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: one years old, and they're.

318
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 4: Stop promoting the younger guys. Stop promoting the man, but

319
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 4: stop promoting guys like that.

320
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 3: But you can promote them all you want.

321
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 2: If you've got the older statesmen still lamenting what the

322
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: product is, you're in a bad spot, like you got

323
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: to you.

324
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 3: Gotta get them on a gag order.

325
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: Shut up, right, don't kill the product.

326
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, and play a little bit too. I mean, Lebron,

327
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 4: I love you. You were great. You were great. Okay, it's over.

328
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 4: You can't fight for the time. You took a week off.

329
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 4: You you're a guest. You know you came back. You

330
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 4: scored thirty plus D last night. But you're not going

331
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 4: to be doing that. I mean, you can't.

332
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 8: Look, it's not only like the young stars or the

333
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 8: lack of star power or whatever, because we're hanging on

334
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 8: to the old guys, right, We're hanging on Lebron steph KD.

335
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 8: The game is just so different. Everyone plays the same

336
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 8: style is three point three pointer? Three point three pointer?

337
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 8: I still know if there's a great appreciation from that.

338
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 8: And it's funny because yesterday Yukon's women lost to USC

339
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 8: and you saw two stars Juju Watkins and Patriarch's throwing

340
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 8: up shots and the game is just a different game,

341
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 8: and there's a greater appreciation for that, which is why

342
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 8: you've seen some of the rise in women's ball and

343
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 8: just terms stylistically. The NBA has to figure it out,

344
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 8: but I don't know if they can figure it out.

345
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 8: To be honest, I don't know if it'll ever go

346
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 8: back to being what it was when it really was

347
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 8: the centerpiece of viewing. I just don't know if the

348
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 8: game is that great in terms of like captivating the interest,

349
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 8: particularly when the regular season doesn't appear to matter in

350
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 8: the NBA. There's no spark to be like, oh, this

351
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 8: is a big regular season game I gotta watch because

352
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 8: it really doesn't impact the playoffs or anything.

353
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 3: No, that's just it.

354
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 6: Right.

355
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 2: You've got ten teams, and then you've got in each conference,

356
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 2: and then you've got whatever the dregs are. I mean

357
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: to put things in perspective, yesterday had the Lakers and

358
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 2: the Kings one O three ninety nine, you decide great

359
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 2: defensive effort or are we just chucking like it's the

360
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: three of us building out a squad. At the YMCA

361
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 2: twenty five point seven, twenty seven percent. That's the make

362
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: rate of three point attempts from those teams in that game.

363
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 3: You can't do it. Don't do it right. I get it.

364
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 2: The interior game may be boring, but that's part of

365
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 2: the reason you're losing out and some of this is unwatchable.

366
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 2: Nobody pretends to play defense. But part of it goes systemically.

367
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 2: Buck Yeaman, you're coaching young kids, You're watching it as

368
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 2: you're rolling through football, and maybe some of the things

369
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 2: that they're learning early on. We certainly talk about that

370
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 2: in basketball with AAU. I mean, football has got to

371
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 2: be the same thing, habits that you either need to

372
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 2: cultivate or break depending on where they're coming from.

373
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, you coaching it allowed to happen. It's

374
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 8: just a changing thing. It's just I don't know, man,

375
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 8: I feel like we've been having this debate, like people

376
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 8: talk about like, oh, AAU has changed it, and look

377
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 8: at this and where we're going and getting so many

378
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 8: European players. It's just I think stylistically, the game is

379
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 8: just so different now. It's a lot of io balls,

380
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 8: a lot of dribble.

381
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 6: Dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, driple driple drible, driple drible

382
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 6: three point shot.

383
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 8: I mean, it's the same thing. The entire game is

384
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 8: just not really exciting to watch. There's nothing exciting about it.

385
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 8: And because they're playing, yeah, because they're playing so many games,

386
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 8: like you don't have the weight or the consequences.

387
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:17,959
Speaker 6: The NFL.

388
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 8: You can say everything in terms of being arrogant and whatever.

389
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 8: When you only play seventeen games every weekend matters, you know,

390
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 8: And so there's a level of intrigue with all those games,

391
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 8: like what you wanted to or not on your Saturday.

392
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 6: The college football PLAYFF.

393
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 8: Is going on, but you got to look at the

394
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 8: Ravens and Steels to see which team is going to

395
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 8: take over the North and who's going to go into

396
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 8: playoffs and all that other stuff. The kan City Chiefs

397
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 8: are compelling despite the boring nature that they're They kind

398
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 8: of created. You want to see if they're gonna lose,

399
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 8: and here they win again. I mean, there's just so

400
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 8: many different storylines in the NFL that brings you back in.

401
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 8: You don't have the same when it comes to the NBA.

402
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 4: And I'm looking at stats right now. Last Thursday's Chicago

403
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 4: Bulls play the Celtics of the one hundred and ninety

404
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 4: one field goals, shot one hundred eight one hundred and

405
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 4: eighty fifty seven percent with three shots three pointers. Okay,

406
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,239
Speaker 4: last Sunday the Celtics played the Wizards one hundred and

407
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 4: eighty three point shots. I mean, it's like going down

408
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 4: to the park and watching these guys play ball in

409
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 4: the park. There's no continuity, there's no offensive sets. It's

410
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 4: not the game that it used to be. I remember

411
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 4: what I used to watch. This goes way back when

412
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 4: Chris Schenkel was doing Sunday Afternoon at jac Nice right

413
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 4: when Chris Shenko was doing the Game of the Week

414
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 4: ABC Sunday, two o'clock Eastern every Sunday with Celtics Lakers.

415
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 4: Really was from Boston Garden and he would always say,

416
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 4: the Boss of Celtics coming down court, and they used

417
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 4: five set plays. Bill Russell would stand at the top

418
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 4: of the key, hold the bullover's head. They have five

419
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 4: set plays. Give it to Sam Jones, Tom Sanders, whatever

420
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 4: it may be, Casey Jones, to Jim Loscatov, Tommy Heinzen.

421
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 4: And it was a great You know, the closest thing

422
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 4: to the little Celtics are the Golden State Warriors working

423
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 4: the ball. No one works the ball anymore. It's three

424
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 4: point goals and it's not basketball. A different game. And

425
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 4: I love the NBA. I did and I still do,

426
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 4: but it's a different game right now, and I have

427
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 4: a hard time getting used to it. I really do.

428
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 2: It's funny cites the Warriors as the team's still doing

429
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 2: it right. They're the team usually blamed for being the

430
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 2: demon in this process. All right, two things go. Look

431
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: up Philip Seymour Hoffman, along came poly great Man. And yeah,

432
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 2: so we've got that flowing through. And as we roll forward,

433
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 2: we've got a full slate of NFL. Actually we've already

434
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 2: got three games gone. Chris Shankle, I would say, for me,

435
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 2: was always the bowling guy. He was the announcer on

436
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 2: Saturday afternoons when I was betting quarters on Mark Roth

437
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 2: versus Earl Anthony against my grandma.

438
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 3: There you go.

439
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:49,160

466
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 2: It's worth it. Wherever you get your podcasts, you'll see

474
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 2: have several games left to go. A couple of real

475
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 2: gems this week, guys.

476
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 4: Ready, let's start Jaguars and Raiders, all right.

477
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 2: So as we get it going here one that you'll

478
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 2: be watching closely. Here Bucky Matt Jones in company getting

479
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 2: it on against the Raiders. The battle for well top

480
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 2: picks along the way. One shining bright beacon for the Jaguars.

481
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 2: The play of Bryant Thomas Junior. Thirty six targets his

482
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 2: last three weeks, twenty two receptions. He's gone over seventy

483
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 2: six yards in four straight games, and he's forty four

484
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 2: yards from one thousand. About that, let's get to it.

485
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 2: The over under for mac Jones two hundred and sixteen

486
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 2: and a half passing yards.

487
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 3: Will take that as we will.

488
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 2: Both defense is tied, giving up nearly twenty seven points

489
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 2: per game and bringing up the rear in terms of

490
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 2: turnover differential as well. Las Vegas minus nineteen. They had

491
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 2: a good effort that put Captain Kirk on the bench

492
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 2: in Atlanta?

493
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 3: Has that a moral victory? Is that something you hang

494
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 3: your head on? Now?

495
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 2: How about him here at Duela seven for seven fifty

496
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 2: eight yards and a touchdown that's through the air check

497
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 2: downs as aid and O'Connell returns under center for the Raiders,

498
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 2: as they see more and more signs for Shador Sanders.

499
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 2: We look at the game, it is basically a pick'em.

500
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 2: Vegas minus won forty and a half the total. What

501
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,959
Speaker 2: are you expecting to see out of your Jaguars today, Bucky?

502
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 8: A lot of Brian Thomas Junior, a lot of Britain

503
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 8: strains and a lot of tank bigsby those young guys

504
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 8: have been kind of the nucleus that has emerged down

505
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 8: the stretch. And Brian Thomas Junior is as good as

506
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 8: anybody can imagine a young receiver being big, fast, talented,

507
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 8: uh maybe a Pro Bowl player.

508
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 6: This dude is terrific.

509
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 8: So mys are gonna be on him to see if

510
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 8: he can continue to dazzle. But outside of that, I

511
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 8: don't know how much you really want to watch this game.

512
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 2: I don't really know what seventy two, Bucky, We're almost

513
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 2: done with them. We celebrate them all. Otherwise, you got

514
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 2: to go watch some three point shooting contests between some

515
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 2: bad NBA teams. See what I did for you there, Andy,

516
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 2: I put it up on a d There you go.

517
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 4: I say, Merry Christmas, Bucky Brooks. Did Jacks win their

518
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 4: second straight?

519
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 3: All right?

520
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 4: Did Judge go to win their second game? And two

521
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 4: out of three? I think the last week did the Judge.

522
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 4: But you know, we talked about Brian Thomas Jr. He's

523
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 4: a rookie. He's gonna be a superstar. Coming off his

524
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 4: second one hundred yard performance of the year, two touchdowns

525
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 4: against the Judge last week. They went today it's gonna

526
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 4: be a big one. You know. You talk about how

527
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 4: important quarterbacks are Raiders, aren't they on their third string

528
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 4: quarterback right now? But the Jaguars are only on their backup.

529
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 4: So you know, when you talk about that way, it

530
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 4: looks like the Jadgs have the advantage only on their

531
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 4: backup as opposed to a third stringer on the Raiders.

532
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 4: So we'll see what happens.

533
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 2: Well, And I also look at a guy and Mac

534
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:21,239
Speaker 2: Jones that if we're all intellectually and honest of what

535
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 2: we saw in New England, they need demand no favors.

536
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 2: You're a pro bowler as a rookie. All right, let's

537
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 2: up to degree of difficulty. Here's Matt Patricia. Yeah, here's

538
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: your offensive coordinator. But what would you do, like say,

539
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 2: we are looking at the Raiders, the Giants, couple of teaple.

540
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 2: We'll get to the Giants as we circle back to

541
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 2: things next hour, Bucky, But you know, are you cam

542
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 2: Ward or you just run with Shador. You've got the

543
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 2: player playmaker, plus the marketing and branding that rights itself.

544
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 2: From a player standpoint, what do you think happens on

545
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 2: this next level? From where you're sitting evaluating, she ends

546
00:25:58,480 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 2: to me is the.

547
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 8: More polishing post player in terms of the skills, the

548
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 8: technique and those things. Cam Ward is to rift. But

549
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 8: I say, cam Ward is probably a little more loose

550
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 8: with dis played than Shader Sanders. I would say, if

551
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 8: you're looking for the guy that's gonna deal from the

552
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 8: pocket and give you probably the more consistent career, shuduor

553
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 8: Sanders would be that cam Ward is spectacular, though it'd

554
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 8: be interesting Sam Donald.

555
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 4: They may go up to Sam Donald. He may be available, right,

556
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 4: I mean, he could be JJ McCarthy becoming back to Minnesota.

557
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 8: I mean, but we're just gonna handle ball to JJ

558
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 8: McCarthy coming off two knee injuries and just say, hey,

559
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 8: he's gonna fix it and we're gonna go with Minnesota.

560
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 8: We feel that confident and our ability to just wave

561
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 8: the magic winded quarterback and.

562
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 4: A by the draft on you.

563
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 2: But this is where I have the old tool in

564
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 2: my pocket to go franchise. Yeah, I channel my inner

565
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 2: Chappelle one J three four franchise. Now, if you had

566
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 2: Chador Sanders Andy firm and put your promotions hat back on,

567
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 2: what's the first thing you would try to try to

568
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 2: sell in the city of Vegas with Shidhar Sanders.

569
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 4: I guess the colonels come with the town, Ryan Sanders,

570
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 4: Colonel Sanders.

571
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 3: Nicely, Colonel look at he put.

572
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 2: He's got him in the big hat, in the white suit,

573
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 2: walking stick the whole nine yard town. Can he grow

574
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 2: that stash though, Bucky?

575
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 4: What do you think Tommy throws three and what touchdowns

576
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 4: in the game? Free chicken for everybody?

577
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 7: Oh?

578
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 6: Buckets a chicken buckets everywhere?

579
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 2: Oh see we always talk about the the bucket at

580
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 2: the the Cowboys place and guy's getting fined for jumping

581
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 2: in it for the kettle.

582
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 3: How about this? Now we got the giant bucket Chase bread.

583
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 3: You did right? There?

584
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 4: Wasn't that a big call with Chase Brown jumped in there.

585
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 4: I mean it was creative. I mean he went in there.

586
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 4: It was.

587
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 3: Hey, it's the no Fun League.

588
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 2: We find we celebrated Jalen hurts his cleats and then

589
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 2: we find him and deleted the post.

590
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 3: Way to go NFL.

591
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh they find.

592
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 6: Him force cleave.

593
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 3: Yes they did.

594
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 6: Wow, Wow, I won.

595
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 2: Out of the uniform uniform violation. Look how great these are?

596
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 2: Oh no, you can't wear those.

597
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 4: I think they needed them more money in the pot

598
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 4: for the Christmas party for the NFL office.

599
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 3: Nicely done, Park Avenue needed a little bit more, all right?

600
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 1: Next game, forty nine ers said Dolphins.

601
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 2: All right, let's get it on Dolphins. Forty nine ers

602
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 2: almost pick him as well. Two teams clinging to playoff hopes,

603
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 2: however scant they are at this point, both six and eight.

604
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 2: Forty five is your total? San Francisco losers of four

605
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 2: of five. I heard you guys talking about Brock Birdie

606
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 2: and getting his linemen all sorts of cars and trucks

607
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: and whatever. Maybe it pretends that a deal's in place.

608
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 2: Maybe he's just got some other moneies that some cryptocurrency

609
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 2: wins in the past, or marketing and memorabilia. I don't

610
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 2: know how come we don't hear about anybody but quarterbacks.

611
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 2: That's really all I want to know. Twelve lost to

612
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 2: Los Angeles the last time out. Patrick Taylor's going to

613
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 2: take the lead. Fourteen carries fifty yards, one touchdown. Where

614
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 2: did he score that touchdown? Oh yeah, when the Bears

615
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 2: didn't bother to show up a couple of weeks ago.

616
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 2: You look at their offensive ranking, scoring twenty two point

617
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 2: four a game. Defense still pretty stingy, top ten, twenty

618
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 2: two point nine a game. You've got the Dolphins right

619
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 2: there with them. Twenty two point three turnover differential just

620
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 2: about the same Dolphins four and two their last six,

621
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 2: hanging thirty plus three times to a dismal effort against Houston,

622
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 2: but two hundred and eighty eight or more passing yards

623
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,239
Speaker 2: four straight before that abomination against the Texans eight Chan

624
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 2: fairly falling forward at three point nine yards per carry,

625
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 2: but he's up to ten total touchdowns.

626
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 3: Big question.

627
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 2: Can they actually get Tyreek Hill involved against a beleaguered

628
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 2: battle warn in battle test at San Francisco squad Andy Ferma,

629
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 2: Let's start with you.

630
00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 4: Well, I would say this. I mentioned this to Bucket

631
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 4: early on. I think the week after the Super Bowl,

632
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 4: they said, the two worst teams in the NFL play

633
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 4: and call it the toilet Bowl. Okay, and now, and

634
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 4: these two teams would not qualify for the Toilet Bowl,

635
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 4: but these two teams would be a battle of the

636
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 4: two of the NFL's most disappointing teams. You gotta believe

637
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 4: in August everybody thought that the forty nine ers are going

638
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 4: back to the Super Bowl, and certainly the Dolphins right

639
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 4: now clinging for a playoff. I mean, you would think

640
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 4: that they'd be a shoeing and maybe win the division.

641
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,479
Speaker 4: But it doesn't work out that way. You mentioned two

642
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 4: is disappointment. Last week they lost to the Texans twenty

643
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,719
Speaker 4: to twelve. But in that game, Tua had four turnovers

644
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 4: against the Texans. So their offensive line is become a

645
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 4: major problem for the Miami Dolphins. And I do believe

646
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 4: that Dolphins are a better team right now, playing better football.

647
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 4: But it's gonna be an ugly game. Dolphins win this

648
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 4: game probably means a little more for the Dolphins with

649
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers at six and eight, So I'm

650
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 4: gonna take the Dolphins to win this bowl game today.

651
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 6: Well, and listen, weather's bad.

652
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 8: You don't have to worry about perty an issue gripping

653
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 8: the ball or slinging the ball.

654
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 3: Two of the last three weeks. Pretty miserable there.

655
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 8: Yeh yeah, at least me leave. He's gonna play better.

656
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 8: If he plays better, they're gonna have some opportunities on

657
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 8: the perimeter. Kyle Shanahan is certainly getting the memo people

658
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 8: saying that he needs to reinvent himself. He bristles at

659
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 8: that notion and saying he has to do what's best

660
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 8: for the players that he has.

661
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 6: Because of that, I think.

662
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 8: You see a little more inspired effort from the Niners

663
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 8: giving the Niners knocking off to.

664
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 3: Dolphin nicely Don.

665
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 2: That's Bucky Brooks, there's Andy Furman, a little bit of

666
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 2: House Divided.

667
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 3: I love it.

668
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 2: You can watch the YouTube fight between the two of

669
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 2: these guys that I'll be promoting.

670
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,360

00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 2: us really appreciated.

699
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 3: All right, guys, a couple more games. Let's lock and load,

700
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 3: ye Buccaneers said Cowboys, Now we're talking.

701
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 2: We got Tampa Bay four point road favorites, forty eight

702
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 2: the total tasty, so we'll get some points in this one.

703
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 2: Dallas showing signs of life thirty four to twenty seven

704
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 2: thirty points, scored three of their last four. Hey, we've

705
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 2: got Rico Dowdell, remember him, one hundred and twenty yards

706
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 2: from one thousand yards.

707
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 3: I know it doesn't have the same.

708
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 2: Juice but damn it, I'm gonna still celebrate it like

709
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 2: they're the nineteen eighty six tops one thousand yard club cards.

710
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 2: I would get one per pack and celebrate that gold border.

711
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 2: You're looking at Cooper Rush two hundred and fourteen yards,

712
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 2: thirty touchdowns against Carolina Ceedee Lamb went over the thousand

713
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 2: yard mark. He's got only six touchdowns on the here,

714
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 2: maybe something a little juice there. Tampa Bay four straight

715
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 2: wins since the buye schedule's been kind except then you

716
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 2: had that little outliers, Like, all right, they're gonna go

717
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 2: against one of the top rated defense. No, they smacked

718
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 2: around the Chargers. Mike ev it's looking for all sorts

719
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 2: of bonuses and history in his world. We talk about

720
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 2: Bucky Irving and what an impact he has made along

721
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 2: the way, and then Jalen McMillan nine catches, one hundred

722
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 2: thirty four yards, three touchdowns, last two games. Turnover differential

723
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 2: Tampa for the year minus two Dallas minus five. Offense

724
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 2: for the Buccaneers nearly twenty nine points per game. Guess

725
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 2: what Dallas gives up over twenty seven. Tampa Bay is

726
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 2: still looking to squatch the division because everybody's talking about

727
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 2: Michael Pennix and now he's gonna set the world on fire.

728
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 2: How inspiring is that if you're the Tampa squad this week,

729
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 2: Bucky Well.

730
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 8: I think if you're Tampa, you're ready to rock one

731
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 8: because you're one of the hottest teams in football. You

732
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 8: won four in a row because you've been able to

733
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 8: run the football down people's throats like they averaging I think,

734
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 8: and ninety two rest in yards per game, Bucky, Irvin

735
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 8: Ricard White.

736
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 6: Being able to get it down.

737
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 8: And then Mike Evans and Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield, we're

738
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 8: seeing less is more with him. The last four games,

739
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 8: he's had fewer than thirty attempts on average, but the

740
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 8: production has gone way up.

741
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 6: I think we continue to see that with this offense.

742
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 8: And then defensively, they're gonna blitter the snot at the

743
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 8: Cowboys and at some point Cooper Rush is gonna wilt

744
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:17,280
Speaker 8: under the pressure.

745
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 6: Give me the Buccaneers by eight lots.

746
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 4: Let me say this, and I want to step on Buckets'

747
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 4: toes for a second. I get it, the hot Tampa

748
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 4: Bay Buccaneers. They won four straight, but look at they

749
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,439
Speaker 4: beat They beat the Giants to beat Carolina. They beat

750
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 4: the Vegas Raiders. Okay, the impressive win was putting up

751
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 4: forty against the Chargers. That was impressive, especially that team

752
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 4: was yielding only fifteen points a game, So you know,

753
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 4: I put the reins on them a little bit. But

754
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 4: the Bucks off battling for that playoff spot in the

755
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 4: NFC South and they can't afford to lose again to

756
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 4: the Cowboys because their season is just about over. It

757
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 4: really is. So in this game, it's not so much

758
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 4: two teams. I think the individual battle zooming into this

759
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 4: game is what you want to watch, if in fact

760
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 4: you even watched this game. It's Mike Evans are the

761
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 4: Bucks the wide receiver against Trevon Diggs to cornerback for

762
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 4: the Cowboys. That's gonna be a pretty good battle. Other

763
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 4: than that, there's not much to say. And yes, the

764
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 4: Buccaneers win.

765
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 2: But we look at the injury status waiting to find

766
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 2: out if you get Trevon Diggs later because there's still

767
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 2: timelines on surgeries and whatever else. You know, the ability

768
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 2: to opt out is what we see across all all

769
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 2: sides of sports at this point. But you know that's

770
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 2: a game because you'll watch it because it'll be standalone

771
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 2: later on and you'll be looking to avoid any chores

772
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 2: or family responsibilities.

773
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 3: Finally, Saints said Packers. Yeah, let's get the Saints in

774
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 3: prime time.

775
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:47,240
Speaker 2: Fourteen point dog Spencer Rattler going up against the Packers.

776
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 2: He does not have a Lobby, does not have Taysom Hill,

777
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 2: does not have Alvin Kamara. Let's get it on, as

778
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 2: we've bothe they've won three at five though, but a

779
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 2: Rattler just fifty seven percent completion rate in these three games,

780
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 2: last three games, one hundred and thirty five hundred and

781
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 2: fifty six hundred and seventy two yards passing. They are

782
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 2: a plus one on the turnover differential. It's almost like

783
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 2: the which one of these is not like the other

784
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 2: game that we used to play on our PBS stations,

785
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 2: watching those great shows of our youth. Packers four losses

786
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 2: this year, two to Detroit, Philadelphia and Minnesota. A bunch

787
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 2: of heavyweights along the way, Jordan Love twenty three and eleven,

788
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:29,240
Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs ruling the roost over eleven hundred rushing yards

789
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 2: twelve touchdowns, and then you look at the receiving leader.

790
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 2: This is where it gets fun, and you know we'll

791
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 2: speak to this spreading the ball around your leading receivers

792
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 2: averaging fifty two yards per game and only as forty

793
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 2: nine receptions. We're talking about Jaden Reid. But offensively still

794
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 2: seventh in the National Football League, scoring twenty seven a game.

795
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 2: Defensively giving up twenty point five, that's good enough for eighth.

796
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 2: Andy Furman, let's finish this one off. How badly do

797
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 2: the Packers beat them?

798
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 3: Down?

799
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 4: Right? The Packers are on the verge of clinching a

800
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 4: playoff spinal home win over the Saints and now five

801
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 4: nine that'll get it done. I'll data Saints haven't given

802
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 4: up more than twenty one points in five straight games.

803
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 4: But you know what, they had a couple of turnovers.

804
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 4: It's not gonna be good. It's to be ugly in

805
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 4: Lambeau today.

806
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 8: Ooh ugly and Lambeau Packers win. Don't know how ugly

807
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 8: it would be. The Packers are the team that you

808
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,760
Speaker 8: want to watch because the Packers are putting it all together.

809
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 8: This defense is a defense that's reminiscent of the last

810
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 8: time the Packers won a Super Bowl.

811
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 6: They've only been two times.

812
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 8: The Packers have finished in the top ten, and each

813
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 8: of those times they've gone deep into the postseason, including

814
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 8: twenty ten when they won the Super Bowl. I love

815
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 8: what they're doing with Jeff Hafley taking over the defense

816
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,240
Speaker 8: with the running game of Josh Jacobs.

817
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 6: Give me the Packers not.

818
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 8: A blowout, but a slow and methodical beatdown.

819
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 4: Well, there's this difference between ugly and blowout, right, I

820
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,760
Speaker 4: mean ugly. Is it's gonna be ugly?

821
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 6: He say, it's gonna be ugly.

822
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 2: Well, but if it does get ugly, well, the announcers

823
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 2: contend they don't belong on the field and try to relegate.

824
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 3: New Orleans as an NFL team.

825
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 2: No, sorry, you know that college football commentary from yesterday

826
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 2: still sticks.

827
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 3: All right, Andy Furman, give it the opportunity.

828
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 2: Did you ask Santa for the Bengals to find their

829
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 2: way into the playoffs? Says your your honegize celebration.

830
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 4: There, I went to the pubs with the Macy's Santa's lap,

831
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 4: you did? He said that whisper in his ear.

832
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 3: Can we get a photo of that?

833
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 4: Yeah? Well, I I might put that on social media.

834
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 3: That would be good.

835
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 2: Signed copies will be available at Andy Furman FSR. Find

836
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 2: Bucky over at Bucky Brooks find me over at Swollen Dome.

837
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,439
Speaker 2: We appreciate y'all listening to us throughout the year. We'll

838
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 2: be back at it next Sunday morning in this format

839
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 2: with Andy. Appreciate you, Buddy, Happy Honikah. We'll talk to

840
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 2: you during the week. Bucky and I are going to

841
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 2: continue as we roll on here week sixteen and earnest

842
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 2: a little bit of college football and more on a

843
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 2: big slate as we jockey for playoff position. Yes, it's

844
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 2: winning time for your fantasy teams and in the National

845
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 2: Football Leate grannies, and welcome in another beautiful hour. It's

846
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 2: Fox Football Sunday. Merry Christmas, Happy Honikah, Bekwanza coming up

847
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 2: all the holidays that we celebrate. Wrap a bit of

848
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 2: big bow. We wrap you in a big hug. We

849
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 2: appreciate you being part of our extended family. As we

850
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 2: roll on here, creeping towards the new year, in the

851
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 2: end of an NFL regular season, just a couple of

852
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 2: weeks remaining. I know a lot of fantasy questions out there.

853
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 2: I'm running around like a lunatic this morning, so I

854
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 2: will answer them as best I can while in transit,

855
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 2: while standing in line and while dealing with my kids stuff.

856
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 2: All right, So those are the particulars they I watch.

857
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 2: Reflexed podcast is up with all the rankings in fun

858
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 2: of that thanks to Andy Furman, our colleague. Always fun

859
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 2: chopping it up with Andy. As you've done for three

860
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 2: hours already this morning, Bucky Brooks, and now you're forced

861
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 2: to go hand in hand to hand combat with me

862
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 2: as we get an EPL match underway and another big

863
00:40:55,440 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 2: NFL slate ahead. Three games in the books. A win

864
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 2: for the Baltimore Ravens one. I think they needed, taking

865
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 2: advantage of will, the sledgehammer Derek Henry getting back after it.

866
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 2: Twenty four carries one to sixty two. Always the great

867
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 2: equalizer when you can impose your will and then pick

868
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 2: your spots accordingly.

869
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 6: I mean one hundred percent.

870
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 8: And this is why the Baltimore Ravens wanted to get it,

871
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 8: Like you understood what the vision was going to be

872
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,760
Speaker 8: for this team, particularly when they got down the stretch.

873
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 8: When you have a big sledgehammer like Derrick Henry and

874
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 8: the weather turns coal, it becomes harder to tackle him.

875
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:37,959
Speaker 8: You saw Pittsburgh Steelers tacklers falling all over themselves trying

876
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 8: to deal with the hammer when now you put him

877
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 8: in the backfield with Lamar Jackson and you have to

878
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 8: deal with the read option part of what the Ravens do.

879
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 8: It's not the Greg Roman offense, but Todd Munckt, their

880
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 8: offensive coordinator, does it just enough that you have to

881
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 8: defend it. You throw in Lamar Jackson and an improved

882
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 8: passing skill set that he's displaying. This Ravens offense is

883
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 8: very tough. The biggest thing with the Ravens that leaves

884
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,839
Speaker 8: you confounded. How can this team knock off heavyweights but

885
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 8: lose to lightweights like the Raiders? Like, how can they?

886
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 8: Why are they consistent enough where we just can rave

887
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 8: about them and give them their flowers? Maybe it's happening now,

888
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 8: but this is one of the more talented teams. You

889
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 8: just want to see them play to their talent and

890
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 8: their potential consistently.

891
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 2: I think Las Vegas would qualify in this circumstance to

892
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 2: wrap our arms around the wonderful college football stuff. I mean,

893
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 2: this is Northern Illinois. It's the outlier, which one of

894
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 2: these is not like the other as Notre Dame rolled

895
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 2: up on Friday night, kind of the same idea, all right,

896
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 2: there's your blip on the raidar all right. They also

897
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 2: lost to Cleveland along the way, but otherwise it's Kansas

898
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 2: City and Pittsburgh in a tight battle. Right That was

899
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 2: the eighteen fourteen watching paint dry game and then a

900
00:42:55,840 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 2: loss to Philadelphia otherwise, slapping teams around, taking care of business.

901
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 2: They put up thirty on the Chargers when that defense

902
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 2: was still seemed to be impenetrable. We've since seen some

903
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,359
Speaker 2: cracks along the way. Tampa Bay did it, and then

904
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 2: you had those first possessions by Denver before all of that.

905
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 2: By the way, I'm still I think the only guy

906
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 2: to call out the clock management and decision making by

907
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 2: Sean Payton at the end of the first half. I

908
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 2: happily will be that guy on the island if that's

909
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 2: what I need to I don't have a relationship with him.

910
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 2: I don't know, he doesn't owe me anything. We don't

911
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 2: exchange Christmas cards. So I'll be the guy that he

912
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 2: can get mad at if he needs to be, because

913
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 2: you know, we always want to go after Dan Campbell

914
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:40,280
Speaker 2: and guys for decisions or look what happened obviously catastrophically

915
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 2: in Chicago with Iberflu's week after week. But somehow Shanahan

916
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 2: and McVeigh and Sean Payton, we get crickets when they

917
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 2: do some of the same foolishness.

918
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 8: Yeah, you get some of that all the time, like

919
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 8: you know, but some guys are kind of anointed. It

920
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 8: made men within the mediate screw when it comes to

921
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 8: the decisions and what we love and the wizardry and

922
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 8: all that.

923
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,280
Speaker 6: But things backfire.

924
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 8: Dan Campbell's coming under fire because his decisions appear to

925
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 8: be far more emotional than analytical in terms of like

926
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,839
Speaker 8: being thought out or whatever. Like he appears to go

927
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 8: for it on fourth down just out of emotion and

928
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 8: want to not necessarily like, you know what, this might

929
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 8: be the most prudent decision based on this situation. It's

930
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 8: worked for the Detroit line, so how can you fallow them?

931
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 8: But yeah, you're right, some of these guys don't necessarily

932
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 8: feel the flings and arrows from the media types that

933
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 8: just kind of give them a pass on some of

934
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 8: their decisions.

935
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 2: Make everybody ready to go into halftime in that Thursday

936
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,760
Speaker 2: night game instead some bad decision making about pass attempts.

937
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 3: Oh wait, they still have timeouts, and then.

938
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 2: We finally get the fair catch free kick heard around

939
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 2: the world after the dopey interference penalty on the fair

940
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 2: catch attempt.

941
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 8: Oh, so let me ask you this, because Andrew's like, oh,

942
00:44:58,239 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 8: we haven't seen this. I was like, man, I thought

943
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 8: one time to Patriots ran a similar thing where they

944
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 8: called the fair catch and they did a dropkick with

945
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 8: Doug Flutie.

946
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 6: Do you remember that.

947
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 3: No, Doug Flutie hadn't done that.

948
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,399
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, like a drop kick or something like that.

949
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 8: So I'm trying to think there was a president. Yeah,

950
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 8: that was certainly there. Yeah, and we've seen it a

951
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 8: few times through the years. Now I'm trying to find

952
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 8: what year that Doug fluti let's say, first drop since

953
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 8: nineteen forty one. I'm finding the video, but again I

954
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 8: don't have a year associated with it. Yeah, we'll get

955
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 8: our crack research staff on that.

956
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 3: What we did have.

957
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 2: Were the attempts for the fair catch, you know, free kick,

958
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 2: and the last one attempted was five years ago in London,

959
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 2: and we've seen it a number of times. There just

960
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 2: hadn't been a conversion since seventy six because generally, you know, yeah,

961
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 2: you're getting to gon it, it's too far away. Well,

962
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 2: now that we've got super toe everywhere, Bucky. This is

963
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 2: interesting to me because maybe it changes a little bit.

964
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 2: I am surprised that in the annals of history we

965
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 2: didn't have at least one attempt from Janekowski or Goskowski

966
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 2: because of how they were utilized oftentimes during the career

967
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,240
Speaker 2: that you wouldn't have had a situation.

968
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 3: But it's a very specific thing, right, it's.

969
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 2: Fair catget all of these things everything, and who's fair

970
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 2: catching the ball anymore? Most guys just run out of

971
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:19,799
Speaker 2: the way.

972
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, it's a lot of awareness, right, So everyone

973
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 8: has to be honest. To do that, you have to

974
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 8: have situational awareness. And not only that, it has to

975
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 8: be something that is practiced. I think as we go

976
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 8: down and we think about all the situations and how

977
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 8: people talk about situational football, a lot of times their

978
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 8: actions aren't quite matching their words because to do it

979
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,479
Speaker 8: it takes away from other parts of your practice time.

980
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 8: It clearly appeared that this is something that the charges

981
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 8: were whereof they've worked.

982
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 6: On it, they executed it.

983
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 8: And in a league where everything is typically decided about

984
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 8: one score, the great coaches are winning in the margins

985
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 8: for all of.

986
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 6: The lucky stuff that we talk about with the Chiefs.

987
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 8: Think about the amount of time they won games in

988
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,439
Speaker 8: improbable ways because they executed something was on the back

989
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 8: pages of the game plan, block field goal, block punt,

990
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:10,479
Speaker 8: you know, like all the different things that they've done.

991
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 8: The great coaches are doing that, and they're doing it

992
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 8: because they understand the tight nature of the game means

993
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 8: that we have to find other ways of winning games,

994
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 8: and maybe our advantage, our superpower, is being great in

995
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 8: these situations.

996

1001
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 2: The way tire buying should be. Flutie's attempt took place

1002
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:42,320
Speaker 2: January first, two thousand and six Patriots and Dolphins. Dolphins

1003
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 2: coach Nick Saban I couldn't figure out what they were doing.

1004
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 2: I had to use the timeout. This is where I

1005
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,720
Speaker 2: always want to see the little rulebook, remember, because Belichick

1006
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 2: always had the one that was so dog eared and

1007
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:57,399
Speaker 2: shoot up and when the Ravens were complaining about formations

1008
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 2: that were legal and eventually outlawed, and all of those

1009
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 2: kind of things. Love to see what Harbaugh's looks like

1010
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 2: as well. You've got the Holy Bible, You've got his

1011
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:09,280
Speaker 2: giant gallon of milk, and then you've got the NFL

1012
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 2: playbook and once upon a time what was the college

1013
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 2: playbook and rulebook.

1014
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,800
Speaker 3: But let's face it, that keeps changing day to day anymore.

1015
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 2: Are you believing in the Ravens for the long term?

1016
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:26,240
Speaker 6: I do. I think the Ravens have the right recipe

1017
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 6: to be able to do it.

1018
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 8: Now that they've been able to fix their defense, their problematic.

1019
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,919
Speaker 8: The thing that will the only thing that can slow

1020
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 8: down the Ravens will be the Ravens and do they

1021
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 8: deviate from their style under pressure. Knocking off the Pittsburgh

1022
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 8: Steelers was a bit of eliminating the kryptonite for Lamar

1023
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 8: Jackson because his record went into that game was one

1024
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,879
Speaker 8: and four against the Steelers and the Ravens had lost

1025
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 8: eight of their last nine matchups going into that game. Well,

1026
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 8: now vanquished them, and the way that Lamar Jackson played,

1027
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 8: that's one of the demons that he's eliminated. Can he

1028
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 8: deal with the others, which would be can he play

1029
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 8: well in the postseason? Particularly in the championship game. We

1030
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 8: have to see him do that. If they can get

1031
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 8: past those things. Yeah, man, this team can go all

1032
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 8: the way. They're built for it. It's just a matter

1033
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 8: can they play to their talent when it's required.

1034
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 2: Now, if you were in the room, like and you

1035
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 2: you got to look, they do it for the Hall

1036
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 2: of Fame voting in the in the NFL, Right, everybody

1037
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 2: gets locked in a room. You get this stump case

1038
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 2: for whoever it is. Right, here's all their their CV,

1039
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 2: someone presents. But if you're gonna do it for the MVP,

1040
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 2: would how would you react to someone who said Justin

1041
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 2: Tucker would cost Lamar Jackson the MVP.

1042
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 6: Mmm, that's a good one.

1043
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 3: When we talk about winning games margins and.

1044
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, because you know what that has been the debate

1045
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 8: that people have made, like, hey, you know, Josh Allen,

1046
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 8: they got a better record, so you can't give Lamar

1047
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 8: Jackson the MVP, YadA, YadA, YadA.

1048
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 6: But man, when you look at Lamar jackson season, it's

1049
00:49:58,520 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 6: a ridiculous harmon this dude.

1050
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 8: Sixty seven point nine completion race, thirty seven thirty seven

1051
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 8: touchdowns for interceptions. That is better than his second year

1052
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 8: when he had thirty six and six and won the MVP.

1053
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 8: Crushes the numbers from last year. Narrators really speak. Lamar

1054
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:22,399
Speaker 8: Jackson certainly has a case. Hey, I know you guys

1055
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 8: are ready to give it to my guy in Western

1056
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 8: New York. But look at my numbers and look at

1057
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 8: what I'm doing.

1058
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, aascinator debate back to back. Yeah, just stupid numbers

1059
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 2: last two weeks of the season. You've still got Houston. Still,

1060
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,879
Speaker 2: They're gonna be emotionally. It'll be curious to see how

1061
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 2: they respond because you saw what happened in the fallout

1062
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 2: of the Tank Dell injury. Gruesome injury, no question about it,

1063
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 2: in that game against the Chiefs, and that was CJ.

1064
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 2: Stroud's guy. The Twitter trolls were out and abouts like,

1065
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 2: just shut up, go get a hug.

1066
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 3: Yes, and a better human being.

1067
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1068
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 8: No, I think that's interest because I think it comes

1069
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 8: on the heels of like Caleb Williams and his emotional

1070
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 8: reaction on the sideline.

1071
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 6: But they're different things.

1072
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 8: And I will say the difference between CJ's reaction for

1073
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 8: a teammate and Caleb's reaction on the sideline, the context matters,

1074
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 8: you know, For CJ. I think those who've been around

1075
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 8: him know that CJ advocated for Tang Deal to be

1076
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 8: drafted by the Texans, like that's his guy. He personally

1077
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 8: stood on the table after he got drafted and said,

1078
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 8: are we gonna get Tang Deal. That's the connection that

1079
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:35,320
Speaker 8: he has, and so that is like a fallen brother

1080
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:35,839
Speaker 8: to him.

1081
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 6: That is down. I really don't know what Kayleb Williams

1082
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:39,879
Speaker 6: was experiencing on the.

1083
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,720
Speaker 8: Sideline when he was laying and groveling and doing whatever

1084
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:46,439
Speaker 8: it is that he was doing on the sideline after

1085
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 8: taking a wicked hit on Monday night. It is just

1086
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 8: a part of who he is and we've seen it

1087
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 8: before at USC and other times or whatever. But yeah,

1088
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 8: I think it's different. But I will say this, and

1089
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 8: I think the last month or so has kind revealed

1090
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 8: I will say the ugliness of social media. But the

1091
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 8: challenge is that athletes have to deal with when it

1092
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 8: comes to social media, whether it's the situation with c J. Stroud,

1093
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 8: Travis Hunter having to defend his significant other. I mean,

1094
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 8: there's just a lot that comes with it, and for

1095
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 8: our athletes, I guess it's great that we have direct

1096
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 8: access to the athletes, but.

1097
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 6: It's a lot, it's a lot to deal with.

1098
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 2: Well, what's the thing Saban was talking about Friday? Right,

1099
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 2: Alabama Saban, as he was dubbed, you know, that was

1100
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 2: a lot of his talking point was just all the

1101
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 2: outside and part of it was related to Ohio State. Right,

1102
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 2: weeks of stuff festering post the Michigan loss and how

1103
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 2: they react, Well, they go in, they they absolutely stomp

1104
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 2: Tennessee maybe shutting up the SEC people for about five minutes. High,

1105
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 2: I see you out there. I tweeted at you. I

1106
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 2: didn't I was not shy about it. And that wasn't

1107
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 2: even a big ten apologizing apologizing. That was just me

1108
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 2: just going, hey, let's let's be real in this always

1109
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,280
Speaker 2: going to be a flawed, imperfect system.

1110
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:06,879
Speaker 3: And people on the fringes, yeah we could have done that.

1111
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 3: It's great.

1112
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 2: You didn't get a chance to win another game, beat

1113
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 2: someone after you play mercer and take a week off.

1114
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 6: Well, well yeah, that's the thing.

1115
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 8: And like I guess, I guess to South Carolina people

1116
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 8: have a debate because they didn't have a quote unquote

1117
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 8: ugly loss and they beat Clemson at the end. But

1118
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 8: Clemson is the ACC champion, so it matters, but it

1119
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 8: doesn't all right, you know, like you have to win

1120
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 8: your league if you want to get in. And this

1121
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 8: would be the thing that we tell everybody. It's the

1122
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:37,839
Speaker 8: same thing you say in the NFL. If you want

1123
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 8: to take the uncertainty out of going to the playoff,

1124
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 8: win your league. You win your league, you win your conference,

1125
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 8: you get you get the right to get into the thing.

1126
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:49,760
Speaker 8: You get a golden ticket. Otherwise it's subject.

1127
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 6: To the judges.

1128
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:52,799
Speaker 8: Don't allow it to go to the cars. And that's

1129
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 8: what all those teams did. Three losses, you allowed to

1130
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,880
Speaker 8: go to the judges, so you don't have a bone

1131
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:00,280
Speaker 8: to pick when more games.

1132
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 2: It's the mantra that you and I have carried on

1133
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:04,799
Speaker 2: this show for as long as you and I've been

1134
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 2: doing it. Whenever you can leave it out, you put

1135
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 2: it in the judge's hands. Prepare to lose, and prepare

1136
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 2: to go on vacation and get back into dealing with

1137
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 2: the transfer portal, etc. I've got a story out of

1138
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 2: that that I want to run by you coming up next.

1139
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 2: It relates back to my hometown, my alma mater, and

1140
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,719
Speaker 2: a note that's just coming out about a playoff game

1141
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 2: that was played yesterday.

1142
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 3: But also we've got to go back.

1143
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:31,359
Speaker 2: Into the wonderful world of Atlanta where there's a quarterback change.

1144
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 3: There's several across the board. So all of you that

1145
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 3: were saying we don't.

1146
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 2: Have as many quarterback changes and starters this year, We've

1147
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 2: got three weeks of football, plenty of time at Bucky

1148
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 2: Brooks where you find him, NFL dot com, Fox sports

00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:50,920

1152
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 2: during the week with Jason Smith.

1153
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 3: We'll come back.

1154
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:55,880
Speaker 2: We'll talk about Michael Pennix Junior, the new start, and

1155
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:59,320
Speaker 2: what's next for Captain Kirk as he goes beyond next

1156
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 2: Don Fox, dtr Mason Rudolph, Spencer Rattler. These are your

Speaker 2: quarterbacks for Week sixteen of your National Football League. Welcome

1158
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:13,720
Speaker 2: back in It's Fox Football Sunday, Mike Carbon alongside Bucky Brooks.

1159
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:16,360
Speaker 2: Thanks for being with us. Happy holidays however you celebrate

1160
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 2: whatever you celebrate, celebrate waking up and hanging out and

1161
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:22,279
Speaker 2: having the opportunity to flip on a radio, grab a

1162
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 2: cup of coffee, or your beverage of choice, little Breakfast,

1163
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 2: walking the dog too from services. If you stop in,

1164
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 2: say one for me and we roll through. Appreciate you

1165
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 2: being with us, Bucky, as always an honor to hang

1166
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:37,840
Speaker 2: out here with you on Fox Sports Radio. One of

1167
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 2: the big changes of the week, though I mentioned some

1168
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 2: of these other quarterback positions, we've got. The Michael Pennix

1169
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 2: Junior Show begins in earnest in Atlanta. Been calling for

1170
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 2: it for weeks. Kirk Cousins hasn't looked right, is played terribly,

1171
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 2: and you're now at the point where you still have

1172
00:55:56,120 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 2: a puncher's chance seven and seven fighting the Buccaneers in

1173
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 2: the NFC South eight and a half, nine point favorites

1174
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 2: today against a beleaguered New York Giant squad. I think

1175
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 2: they're going to take someone out of the third deck

1176
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 2: like they did in the movie Eddie. Yes, I'm crossing sports.

1177
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 2: It was a Knicks movie, but you know, Frank Langella

1178
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 2: and Whoopie Goldberg coaching, and Dennis Farina was there and

1179
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 2: all that fun stuff. Forty two is the total in

1180
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:26,400
Speaker 2: this one. But the report coming out now that Cousins

1181
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 2: expected to be released before a ten million dollar roster bonuses,

1182
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 2: due contract is something everybody talks about, not my money,

1183
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 2: dollar cost averaging, panics on a rookie deal, all of

1184
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 2: that stuff not nearly as punitive to things as folks

1185
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:44,880
Speaker 2: would like. I always say, with a quarterback position, you

1186
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 2: got to take your shot and if you're wrong, just

1187
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:49,880
Speaker 2: be able to be smart enough to recognize it earlier

1188
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 2: rather than later. For Captain Kirk, you move on. So

1189
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 2: the two part question, does he have any life left

1190
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,759
Speaker 2: in him for next year to where you'd see a

1191
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:01,880
Speaker 2: team saying, hey, another year moved from injury, Maybe some

1192
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 2: of those early successes.

1193
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 3: The fact that the.

1194
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 2: Falcons pick up some of the contract and whatever else

1195
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 2: so you can get him on the Russell Wilson type

1196
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 2: deal can work. And then obviously Pennix Junior everybody wishing

1197
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 2: waiting and open. We've got plenty of tape from his

1198
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 2: collegiate days. You know what do you expect from him

1199
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 2: in game one?

1200
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 6: A few things.

1201
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 8: Kirk Cousins will have a suitor, he will get another opportunity.

1202
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:29,440
Speaker 8: The Russell Wilson thing will only help his case that

1203
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:31,919
Speaker 8: it might be a chain of scenery that can bring

1204
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 8: him back to what he once was, So he'll certainly

1205
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 8: have that.

1206
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 6: Opportunity Michael Pennis.

1207
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 8: It's a tough situation for Michael Pennis because you're waiting

1208
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 8: so late to give him a start. There's going to

1209
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 8: be some groin pains that he is going to endure

1210
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 8: and experience, and you have to be willing to go

1211
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 8: through that. That said, when I talk to people in

1212
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 8: Atlanta throughout the offseason and in the preseason, they told me,

1213
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 8: man the kid especially.

1214
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 6: You can feel his ball.

1215
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 8: You can feel it when it's spinning across to feel

1216
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 8: is there's something to it when it comes to the pop,

1217
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 8: with the whip of the way that it comes out.

1218
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 8: The playmakers around him will be better utilized because he

1219
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 8: can push the ball down the field. If you go

1220
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 8: back and look at how you play it, it you dub

1221
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 8: This dude is a big play hunter.

1222
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 6: He wants to attack down the field.

1223
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 8: He wants to be vertical with his throws, and because

1224
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 8: he can do it from the gun and under center,

1225
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 8: he's going to add some diversity to their lineup.

1226
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:27,440
Speaker 6: But remember this about the.

1227
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 8: Atlanta factasy everyone talk about the passing game being able

1228
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 8: to go up under center with Bijon Robinson and Tyler

1229
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 8: Asier behind him. It allows offensive coordinator Zach Robinson to

1230
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 8: tap into some of the things that Sean McVay was

1231
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,919
Speaker 8: doing in LA. Remember Robinson came from LA. He knows

1232
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 8: what that looks like. He's going to do some of.

1233
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 6: That stretched bootleg stuff.

1234
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 8: Look for this offense to eventually be more dynamic than

1235
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 8: it was with Kirk Cousins because the arm talent and

1236
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 8: some of the mobility that Pennix brings is different than Cousins.

1237
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 8: And I'm not saying that Michael Pennix is a runner,

1238
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 8: but he certainly is more mobile I'm Kirk Cousins is

1239
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 8: at this stage of his career.

1240
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Cousin's trying to move latterly. The last couple of

1241
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 2: weeks made me feel like I was faster.

1242
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:09,959
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, so not good.

1243
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 2: And when you've got some interior offensive line issues, it's

1244
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:17,120
Speaker 2: only exacerbated, right, So there's no ability to move the

1245
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 2: pocket at all. So you've got those issues and b

1246
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:23,320
Speaker 2: John Robinson everything that people would have expected a year

1247
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 2: ago when Arthur Smith was at the controls of that offense.

1248
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 2: So you know, you certainly have the balance when you

1249
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 2: go deep all the way down to Ray Ray McLeod,

1250
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 2: I mean you've got guys that can go and get it,

1251
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 2: so certainly opportunities, just the curiosity because you know, as

1252
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 2: Smith and I was talking about at the last couple

1253
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 2: of weeks, Bucky and We've broached it on this show

1254
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:45,920
Speaker 2: a couple of times. At some point, if you didn't

1255
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 2: make it the change, it's you either got to have

1256
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 2: health questions on Panix or you start to question whether

1257
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 2: he's really picked it up and whether the end shirt

1258
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 2: idea was truly h going to be executed all the way,

1259
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 2: which if you're Atlanta, you already had the poison pens

1260
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 2: out for Kirk's contract, so that would have just doubled

1261
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 2: down because you didn't get another lineman, you didn't get

1262
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 2: another pass rusher. All of those things start to compound with.

1263
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1264
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 8: So the thing about the Michael Pennix thing is you

1265
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 8: talked about it. You can't go wrong having a room

1266
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 8: full of quarterbacks and no matter what the cost is,

1267
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 8: and it was cost prohibitive to.

1268
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 6: Do the Kirk Cousins deal the way they did it,

1269
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 6: because people to.

1270
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 8: Talk about the mechanics, whether they shouldn't have done this,

1271
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 8: you shouldn't have done that.

1272
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 6: I don't know.

1273
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 8: I remember when the Seattle Seahawks when got Matt Flynn

1274
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 8: and then stumbled into Russell Wilson, and it worked out.

1275
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 8: If you take care of the quarterback room, it doesn't matter.

1276
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 8: We just are talking about brock Purdy.

1277
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 6: Earlier.

1278
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 8: Brock Purdy was mister irrelevant. The Niners had spun their

1279
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 8: wheels at quarterback, used the number three overall pick on

1280
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 8: Trey Lance, paid what they had to pay Jimmy Garoppolo

1281
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 8: after acquiring them in a trade. But you know what,

1282
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:56,960
Speaker 8: brock Purdy solved it, So we don't talk about it.

1283
01:00:57,160 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 8: That's what it is. Get the position right, don't worry

1284
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 8: about the cost of doing business. And with Atlanta, they

1285
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 8: just need Michael Pennix to play well because if he

1286
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 8: plays well, everyone has to shut up.

1287
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 6: Well, that's what it comes down to. It comes down

1288
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 6: to the performance.

1289
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 2: What I would chuckle about is how quickly we turn

1290
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:16,919
Speaker 2: on everything in our sporting culture, right, things, we love,

1291
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 2: underdog stories, whatever. Because you mentioned party, it would be

1292
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 2: I'd be remiss to bring it up if I didn't

1293
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 2: bring it up. Going back to Tony Romo, he's in

1294
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 2: the number one chair all that stuff now, and he

1295
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 2: became the Cowboys quarterback who was an undrafted guy, yet

1296
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 2: as soon as he got paid, everything was the worst

1297
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 2: that it could possibly be, and every decision became that

1298
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 2: much more magnified. Just kind of a funny prism by

1299
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 2: which to look at our sporting world.

1300
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:44,920
Speaker 6: We love you and we hate you and we love

1301
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 6: you again. That's that's what it is.

1302
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 3: I right, Remember, we love.

1303
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 6: We love to build up.

1304
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 8: And then once you get to the top, we like

1305
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 8: to break you down and poke holes in your story.

1306
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:56,439
Speaker 8: And then what we love to do is to say,

1307
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 8: look at him redeeming himself from the criticism that I

1308
01:01:58,880 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 8: made up to go.

1309
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 6: He proved me, you know, Like that's that's what it is.

1310
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 8: It is this this narrative stuff that we create because

1311
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 8: we can, and you know it like being on our

1312
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 8: side being in this business, like we look for stories,

1313
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 8: we look for things to create. Is I won't want

1314
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:20,919
Speaker 8: to say it's fun, but I mean you and poor

1315
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 8: Jason Smith, how much fun did you have with Jason

1316
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:27,000
Speaker 8: Smith with the conversation around Woody Johnson and his son

1317
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 8: making trays off Madden, Like I just think that that

1318
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 8: would be the gift that kept giving when it comes

1319
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:35,520
Speaker 8: to narratives and storytelling in those things.

1320
01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:37,480
Speaker 2: Well, I just got to make sure I keep it,

1321
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 2: you know, to where it doesn't become too overwhelming for him,

1322
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 2: because my man still can get into his fields about

1323
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 2: his teams.

1324
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 3: It's the thing. I love all of you out there.

1325
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 3: You can relate to this.

1326
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 2: Maybe you're that person if you look in the mirror, right,

1327
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 2: it's the old if you sit at a poker table

1328
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:56,160
Speaker 2: and you can't find the sucker, be careful because it's

1329
01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 2: probably you.

1330
01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:58,000
Speaker 3: Kind of thing.

1331
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 2: You know, in your group of friends and family, there's

1332
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 2: that fan that's just a little bit a little bit

1333
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 2: extra right to where maybe they've been able to retain

1334
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:12,400
Speaker 2: some of that eight to eleven year old youth excitement

1335
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 2: about a sport that maybe you've lost right in this

1336
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 2: age of Santa Claus and all the movies and discussions

1337
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 2: that you have and whatever that you know, it's that

1338
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 2: same thing. I need that magic, right, You want a

1339
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 2: little of that, and I think we all retained possession

1340
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:29,520
Speaker 2: a little bit of that.

1341
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 3: Jason still has a lot.

1342
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 2: Of that, and there's depending on the day, I'm either

1343
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 2: really jealous of it because I'd like to still have

1344
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 2: that prism and passion, but I also root like, look,

1345
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:45,800
Speaker 2: he's a Jets fan, a Knicks fan, a Mets fan,

1346
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 2: like he's seen a lot of chaos, particularly with the

1347
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 2: Jets Brick Johnson, for those that missed it, a report

1348
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 2: coming out that there was potentially a Jerry Judy trade

1349
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:56,960
Speaker 2: on the board that would have brought him to the Jets,

1350
01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 2: but was nixed because his matting rating wasn't high enough.

1351
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 2: By the seventeen year old son away at coming and

1352
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 2: his younger brother, who evidently had more input on player

1353
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:16,439
Speaker 2: and roster composition, then well that's all I need to say.

1354
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 3: I don't need to finish the sentence.

1355
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:23,680
Speaker 2: Seventeen and younger having responsibilities and reporting back to Joe

1356
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 2: Douglass and everything else and kind of helping to dictate

1357
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 2: the shape of a roster based on Madden ratings and

1358
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:34,200
Speaker 2: what they were able to do in that field. So

1359
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:36,440
Speaker 2: but I mean, as a Chicago kid, look, I got

1360
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 2: by two thousand and five White Sox, the World Series

1361
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 2: that most people ignore.

1362
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 3: I've got the.

1363
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 2: Bowls, Championships long in the rear view, those great battles

1364
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 2: the Blackhawks, the Kings, and the titles that the Blackhawks

1365
01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:54,640
Speaker 2: won long in the rearview mirror. Eighty five Bears, look

1366
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:58,200
Speaker 2: we saw purple Rain in the Rain with Rex Grossman

1367
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 2: and one of the most improbable by a defense special

1368
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 2: teams and Lovey Smith that you'll ever see on an

1369
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 2: NFL field. Other than that, it's a lot of lean times,

1370
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:10,480
Speaker 2: a couple of Northwestern great seasons, but again lean times.

1371
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:15,120
Speaker 2: But I'm I think pragmatic enough to recognize when it

1372
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:18,800
Speaker 2: just doesn't work right and being able to call and

1373
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 2: not get too upset about it. Jason still lives in

1374
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:24,600
Speaker 2: that moment, so I can only poke the bear so

1375
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:29,160
Speaker 2: much because it still vexes him to his core. And

1376
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:31,520
Speaker 2: all of you out there you're thinking about you know,

1377
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 2: your cousin, your brother again looking in the mirror and

1378
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:37,920
Speaker 2: maybe having that stark realization as you paint your face

1379
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 2: ahead of week sixteen that you know it's on your sleeve.

1380
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 3: And I admire that.

1381
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:45,400
Speaker 2: But I'm also you know, raising the hand for the

1382
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:47,880
Speaker 2: cautionary tale of all right, at some point you got

1383
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 2: to be able to look at the world through different glasses.

1384
01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:55,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, you get look at it different prism see if

1385
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 8: you can do something differently make it happen. But yeah,

1386
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 8: it's not not idea. It's a a lot of loss

1387
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:05,720
Speaker 8: and a lot of losing a lot of tough stuff.

1388
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, it's lessons learned in life and

1389
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:12,000
Speaker 2: opportunities as you go. All right, here's what I wanted

1390
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:14,400
Speaker 2: to run through you from the college world real quick,

1391
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 2: before we get to Ilo Preston Stone SMU.

1392
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 3: We watched the SMU game.

1393
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:25,200
Speaker 2: Some great red zone drives, but you saw Kevin Jennings

1394
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 2: twenty to thirty six, one ninety five, a touchdown, three picks,

1395
01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 2: the batted ball, defensive lineman tip drill to himself, a

1396
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 2: couple of picks sixes. So the game really gets out

1397
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 2: of sorts. But you know, SMU at least gave you

1398
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 2: some fight, showed you some fight.

1399
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:42,240
Speaker 3: Well.

1400
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:44,400
Speaker 2: Preston Stone had the option to go into the game

1401
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:47,480
Speaker 2: played against Penn State, decided not to, and then SMU

1402
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 2: didn't want to force thing and risk it becoming clear

1403
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 2: with all these reports coming out, this is floating around

1404
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:55,800
Speaker 2: in the Twitter vers sent to me my brother also

1405
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 2: in Northwestern Alumni where Tada Preston.

1406
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 3: Stone will enrolledecks fall. I don't like this, look don't.

1407
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:07,160
Speaker 3: I'm not a fan of it.

1408
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 2: Maybe I get business decisions, man, but come on now.

1409
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 6: Late laid in the game, I'm good coach. I'm good Man.

1410
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:18,440
Speaker 3: What do you think of that? Bucky, You're a coach.

1411
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:22,439
Speaker 6: That's hard man. I don't like that. That's hard.

1412
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:25,080
Speaker 8: I understand the business and the portal and all this

1413
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 8: other stuff, but.

1414
01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:31,640
Speaker 6: Like not good man. Not a great look and changes.

1415
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 8: I would say it changes the perception of him, but

1416
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:36,360
Speaker 8: it really doesn't because there's so many kids that are

1417
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:39,880
Speaker 8: jumping around and making decisions. It's crazy. It's so chaotic

1418
01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:41,920
Speaker 8: trying to keep up with it. I think they're like

1419
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:44,240
Speaker 8: twenty three hundred kids that have jumped into portal since

1420
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:47,360
Speaker 8: it opened. But nanas you know, it's just it's just

1421
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:50,360
Speaker 8: really bananas. And I'm not the old guard that is

1422
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 8: talking about like the student athlete or whatever. But I

1423
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 8: still would like to think college is still a higher

1424
01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 8: place of learning, like are we still going to school?

1425
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:03,280
Speaker 6: I mean, but that's been It's just not the minor leagues.

1426
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:06,440
Speaker 8: I mean we're not We're not the Bakersville Barons or

1427
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 8: the the Well.

1428
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 6: I mean, it's not minor league.

1429
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:12,560
Speaker 8: It still has to be some symbolist of are we

1430
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:17,280
Speaker 8: moving towards graduating or doing something beyond whatever takes place

1431
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:20,160
Speaker 8: on the field. Money be darned, all that other stuff,

1432
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 8: but like, we still have to go and get an education.

1433
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:27,880
Speaker 8: How are all these credits transferring harmon you? Into Northwestern?

1434
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 8: Certainly not an easy school, North Carolina not easy. How

1435
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:34,080
Speaker 8: are all these credits transferring where.

1436
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:36,639
Speaker 6: We're retaining eligibility on the path to graduate? It's bananas.

1437
01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:38,639
Speaker 2: I would tell you I would love to be in

1438
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 2: those admissions building, right because I remember, Look, I worked

1439
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 2: in the Northwestern Financial AIDD admission center. That was my

1440
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:50,439
Speaker 2: work study, and then I took a job with the

1441
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:53,080
Speaker 2: university for a couple of years out of college. I

1442
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:55,320
Speaker 2: was able to relate to the kids we were talking about,

1443
01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:57,840
Speaker 2: you know what they were borrowing and looking out for

1444
01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:02,200
Speaker 2: scholarships and whatever else about the athletic program, and right

1445
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:04,599
Speaker 2: that that was right when Barnett had taken over, when

1446
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 2: I was there, and in the aftermath, so you saw

1447
01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:10,519
Speaker 2: a change in the approach. And obviously there was an

1448
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:16,240
Speaker 2: emphasis more into the college world that we wanted to,

1449
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 2: you know, compete on a different level, and football became

1450
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 2: a different priority. So the admissions thing became a thing there,

1451
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:26,599
Speaker 2: but it certainly wasn't from this transfer. Hey, let's see

1452
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:29,720
Speaker 2: what credits are gonna apply, Like my daughter's you know,

1453
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:32,719
Speaker 2: taking the first year and saving some money and getting

1454
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:35,920
Speaker 2: some classes under her belt at a community college here

1455
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:39,559
Speaker 2: in southern California. And every week she's making calls with

1456
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:42,639
Speaker 2: different schools to make sure stuff's going to apply as

1457
01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 2: she registers for the next semester, Hey, will this count

1458
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 2: towards this? Chemistry? Will this count towards this? And you

1459
01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:55,640
Speaker 2: get differing responses here. It doesn't seem to matter, Bucky's.

1460
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:55,280
Speaker 6: It's just crazy to me.

1461
01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:58,000
Speaker 8: I just didn't know, Like, yeah, as a guy who

1462
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 8: daughter's applying to college and you're filling out fast for

1463
01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:03,519
Speaker 8: forms and all kinds of other stuff trying to.

1464
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:04,759
Speaker 3: Figure out baby.

1465
01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, but that stuff is certainly not easy to navigate.

1466
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 8: So I'm trying to figure out how are all these

1467
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:14,719
Speaker 8: other people navigetting these transferred things and all the stuff

1468
01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 8: that you have to do. It's just bananas to me,

1469
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:18,599
Speaker 8: but it's look, it's the way of the world.

1470
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:20,519
Speaker 6: But back to your point about businesses, and no, I

1471
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:22,760
Speaker 6: don't like it. And I think you have to.

1472
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:25,120
Speaker 8: Be a little salty if you're a coach to a point,

1473
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:27,760
Speaker 8: But then you have all these coaches that are leaving

1474
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:29,600
Speaker 8: to take jobs in Bowldseas.

1475
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:31,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just gonna say this though, if you don't

1476
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 3: want to go.

1477
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:34,680
Speaker 6: In, you don't, Yeah, don't suit up.

1478
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 3: You gotta do that before the game.

1479
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 2: Like, if you made that decision, you don't show up

1480
01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 2: on a sideline and then refuse to go in. Chris Purphatt,

1481
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:43,920
Speaker 2: you wanted to tag in quickly here.

1482
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:45,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, just real quick on this note. Like I had

1483
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:48,840
Speaker 9: to leave wake Forest after like two years to deal

1484
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 9: with some personal issues. And I can tell you when

1485
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:54,760
Speaker 9: I tried going back to even some smaller schools out there,

1486
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:56,400
Speaker 9: and none of that stuff transferred.

1487
01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:57,479
Speaker 3: Well, they all want your money.

1488
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:01,840
Speaker 9: To Bucky's point, like, wait, Forest is a very good

1489
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 9: school and I didn't get anything transferred.

1490
01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 3: But that's just it.

1491
01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 2: Everybody wants your money. Yeah, you take our chemistry one

1492
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:08,840
Speaker 2: oh one, Chrisprapher.

1493
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 3: It's like I wasn't even punching up.

1494
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 9: I was trying to go to like U Toledo and

1495
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:14,519
Speaker 9: they're like, no, your English classes there don't col What do.

1496
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:18,120
Speaker 8: You mean Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you know the Demon

1497
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:21,599
Speaker 8: Deeks English is a little different in Rockets English.

1498
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:21,840
Speaker 6: So no.

1499
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:25,439
Speaker 9: My Angela was teaching at wake Forest when I went there.

1500
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:30,639
Speaker 2: I know, I remember meeting her and having that moment

1501
01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:33,000
Speaker 2: we had. I had a professor that brought her in

1502
01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:36,240
Speaker 2: as a guest the one day, and she beat him

1503
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:39,800
Speaker 2: to the to the classroom and never let him forget it.

1504
01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:42,679
Speaker 2: As she was speaking, she took at least five side

1505
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:45,360
Speaker 2: eye looks at him like, whoa wow.

1506
01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 3: Someone was looking for the big introduction. It's good.

1507
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:51,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's funny, fun times all right.

1508
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:55,600
Speaker 3: At Bucky Brooks where you find him at Swallow Dope. Yeah.

1509
01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:57,599
Speaker 2: Please, I'll cheer for him once he's on the field,

1510
01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:01,040
Speaker 2: but I don't like to move mister Stone, all right,

1511
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:03,680
Speaker 2: Isaac Loewen Crown at Isaac Logrow where you find him

1512
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:05,920
Speaker 2: at the Twitter Verse. He's got everything at the news desk,

1513
01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:08,840
Speaker 2: and he's ready for another big day. But he's already

1514
01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 2: got a Chargers win in the books.

1515
01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 10: Want to know as of Thursday? How about those free

1516
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:17,599
Speaker 10: kick field goals?

1517
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:18,040
Speaker 4: Baby?

1518
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:21,599
Speaker 10: Every forty eight years, we come right at you. Ray

1519
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:23,679
Speaker 10: Wersh and Cameron Dicker, same thing.

1520
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:28,679
Speaker 3: Hearly three times. The gestation period of a cicada next? Really,

1521
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:33,680
Speaker 3: oh seventeen years, baby, really, that's where they pop up.

1522
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:35,040
Speaker 3: I thought eventeen years.

1523
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:38,000
Speaker 10: I thought that elephants were like twenty two months and

1524
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:41,679
Speaker 10: I'm like, wow, that's a long time but Cicada's man. Hey,

1525
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:45,320
Speaker 10: major respect to the Cicadas in the listening audience today.

1526
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:49,799
Speaker 10: Not to be confused with former soft hit star John

1527
01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:51,040
Speaker 10: Sicata back.

1528
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:52,800
Speaker 3: Nicely done, guys.

1529
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:56,240
Speaker 10: We get a weird, weird coincidence today in the NFL. Now,

1530
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 10: a short time ago, the Arizona Cardinals added starting center

1531
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:02,400
Speaker 10: yield to fro Hold to their injury reports for today's

1532
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:06,800
Speaker 10: game at Carolina. He's now questionable due to illness. Okay, However,

1533
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:13,200
Speaker 10: just moments ago, the Panthers added their starting center Cade

1534
01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:18,679
Speaker 10: Mays to their injury report. He's now questionable, also due

1535
01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:23,080
Speaker 10: to illness. Bucky, is there some secret lounge where offensive

1536
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:25,360
Speaker 10: linemen like hanging out together in the night before the

1537
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:27,599
Speaker 10: game in solidarity or something.

1538
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:30,720
Speaker 6: I don't know, but that's a little weird. We have

1539
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:33,360
Speaker 6: some of the offensive linemen going down. That's not good.

1540
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:37,160
Speaker 10: Starting centers for both teams that are about to oppose

1541
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:39,320
Speaker 10: one another, and within minutes of each other, both of

1542
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:42,680
Speaker 10: them added to the injury report because of illness. In

1543
01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:46,240
Speaker 10: first round college football playoff action on Saturday night, Ohio

1544
01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:50,240

Speaker 2: playoff run. Three more weeks of regular season action, fantasy

1584
01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:49,600
Speaker 2: football titles to be one, and obviously more bets to

1585
01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:52,320
Speaker 2: collect along the way, and teams that'll fall in and

1586
01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:55,120
Speaker 2: out of our playoff lives. We've got Chris and Mark

01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:18,679
Speaker 2: you find Bucky find me over at Swollen Dome. I'll

1596
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:21,439
Speaker 2: be out and about with the girls. But hey, text

1597
01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:23,519
Speaker 2: send me, send me the note. I'll be happy to

1598
01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:26,519
Speaker 2: answer and you know, get back to you about your

1599
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:29,360
Speaker 2: fantasy lineups as we get closer to kickoff.

1600
01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:31,360
Speaker 3: But Bucky, you know, we've got a couple.

1601
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:33,120
Speaker 2: Of games on the slate where you know, you just

1602
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:36,000
Speaker 2: kind of check the box and move on and say that.

1603
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:38,320
Speaker 2: But you know, Week sixteen, we still got some of

1604
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:40,720
Speaker 2: those squads, like all right, what kind of effort are

1605
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:42,960
Speaker 2: we going to get here down the stretch? What kind

1606
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:46,800
Speaker 2: of juice do we have left in the in there?

1607
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:50,160
Speaker 2: I mean Arizona and Carolina. Isaac brought up the fact

1608
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:53,439
Speaker 2: that you've got both centers now ill forty seven year total,

1609
01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:56,160
Speaker 2: Arizona four and a half point road favorite, but an

1610
01:16:56,200 --> 01:17:00,000
Speaker 2: offense that's really been interesting to watch. James Connor's been fantastic,

1611
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:04,120
Speaker 2: but Marvin Harrison Junior has not been the guy I anticipated.

1612
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:07,679
Speaker 2: And Kyler Murray doesn't run anymore? Why doesn't Kyler Murray

1613
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:08,360
Speaker 2: run anymore?

1614
01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:11,000
Speaker 6: I guess he doesn't want to get hurt anymore. I

1615
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:11,320
Speaker 6: don't know.

1616
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:14,599
Speaker 2: Like weird, right, wit we look at all these games,

1617
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 2: like I always see people go, oh, the betting prople

1618
01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:19,679
Speaker 2: look got low. It's gotten It's like, yeah, because he's

1619
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 2: not doing it anymore. And I mean it limits that offense.

1620
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:26,320
Speaker 2: Like that's the thing that's the hard part to go

1621
01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:29,200
Speaker 2: through in terms of the decision making for the offense

1622
01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:31,800
Speaker 2: they install versus him under center.

1623
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:32,160
Speaker 3: And I get it.

1624
01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:36,160
Speaker 2: He's started whirling around and it's a weekend where Sonic

1625
01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 2: is on my TV every four seconds, So I'll say

1626
01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:41,439
Speaker 2: it when he's running around. It looks like a video game,

1627
01:17:41,840 --> 01:17:44,120
Speaker 2: but you get the pinball effect of one big hit

1628
01:17:44,160 --> 01:17:47,720
Speaker 2: and you're worried what the ramifications are there. But a

1629
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:50,680
Speaker 2: team that you know has had life throughout most of

1630
01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:53,479
Speaker 2: the year, and now we sit here and wonder what

1631
01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:56,640
Speaker 2: they are going forward. So there's a curiosity for you.

1632
01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 2: The Rams a three point favorite against the Jets forty

1633
01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:02,800
Speaker 2: six and a half your total Rams A lot of love,

1634
01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 2: a lot of respect for what they've come back as

1635
01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:08,920
Speaker 2: they got healthy team that can find their way into

1636
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:09,400
Speaker 2: the dance.

1637
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:12,639
Speaker 6: Yes they can't.

1638
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:15,559
Speaker 8: Finally we're into the dance because of the way that

1639
01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:18,400
Speaker 8: they're constructed. Samonvay's done a really good job of getting

1640
01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:22,760
Speaker 8: this offense back on track. The return Cooper Cup has

1641
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:25,599
Speaker 8: given them that interchangeable one two punch with Cooper Cup

1642
01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:30,360
Speaker 8: and Poka Nikoua being able to do the dirty work

1643
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:32,479
Speaker 8: blocking and on the perimeter. But then they also can

1644
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:34,920
Speaker 8: run the football with the young defense that's beginning to

1645
01:18:34,920 --> 01:18:36,920
Speaker 8: play well. Yeah, they certainly have a chance to get

1646
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:38,920
Speaker 8: into the dance, and if they get in with their quarterback,

1647
01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:39,839
Speaker 8: they could be a problem.

1648
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:42,879
Speaker 2: All right, as we get through I mean Seattle Seahawks,

1649
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:45,800
Speaker 2: I mean obviously, I'm looking at the NFC West because

1650
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:50,440
Speaker 2: it's a muddled mess. Gino Smith turnover machine. Another opportunity

1651
01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:53,400
Speaker 2: later on today outside of your own game that's in

1652
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 2: the early window, which is the one that's got your

1653
01:18:55,240 --> 01:19:00,599
Speaker 2: motion intrigued, because i'mbout banking on the Bears showing any

1654
01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:01,880
Speaker 2: signs of life after three.

1655
01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:04,320
Speaker 6: You don't think the Bear. You don't think the Bears

1656
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:04,840
Speaker 6: will show up?

1657
01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:08,439
Speaker 8: I think, like really the one that I'm intrigued by

1658
01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:13,000
Speaker 8: Eagles and Commanders. Okay, see Jalen Hurst does against Jayden Dan.

1659
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:15,320
Speaker 8: You talk about those two young quarterbacks. How d dynamic

1660
01:19:15,360 --> 01:19:17,200
Speaker 8: are I want to see if the Eagles can keep

1661
01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:20,360
Speaker 8: it going and if the Washington Commanders are for real,

1662
01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:21,840
Speaker 8: if they win, then we have to take them as

1663
01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:23,559
Speaker 8: a legit threat in the NFC.

1664
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:25,880
Speaker 2: Philly three and a half point favorites on the road,

1665
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:28,240
Speaker 2: forty five and a half your total. Hey, Merry Christmas.

1666
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:31,280
Speaker 2: Everybody countdown to kickoff? Forcing about bet a MGM next

1667
01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:32,160
Speaker 2: year on Fox
