Speaker 1: Mexico and I need some help. And I said, you know,

33
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: It's a sob so I really a Greek tragedy. He

34
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: went to the powder room and they had the one

35
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: ply sandpaper toilet paper and it was a terrible experience

36
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,960

Speaker 1: and faster. So our lead this hour is from Canton, Ohio.

47
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: As this continues to have legs, can we just keep

48
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: going here? It's our in depth team coverage of the

49
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: voting quagmire involving the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Bill

50
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: Belichick is outside. He's banging his hand on the glass.

51
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: I would like in, then deny it. Denied entry to

52
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the first ballot snub

53
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: which continues to feed the content machine in these parts.

54
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: So another day, and another dope who didn't vote for

55
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: Belichick has crawled out from behind the refrigerator and put

56
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: his name on it. So we're happy about that, right,

57
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: there's something to talk about here. So if you did

58
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: not hear, perhaps not Mike Chappel, I believe he's the

59
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: gentleman's name. He's a Indianapolis based Hall of Fame vote

60
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: and he's one of the people, one of the at

61
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: least eleven who omitted the greatest coach in modern NFL history,

62
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick from the twenty twenty six ballot, and he

63
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: claims it was not not as not what you might think,

64
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: Not like the other guy, the Kansas City guy who said, well,

65
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: I just wanted to get old guys in. I just

66
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: wanted to get these old guys in. So this guy Chapel,

67
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: the go F in Indianapolis, he said, I didn't vote

68
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: for Belichick. It was not as a direct punishment, but

69
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: he claimed to prioritize Robert Kraft, the owner and his

70
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: contributions to the NFL, the owner of the Patriots, of course,

71
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: and then cited Spygate as the ethical blemish on Belichick's

72
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: Wikipedia page there despite all the Super Bowl wins that

73
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: he put together there with the Patriots them and then

74
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: was with the Giants when they won a couple. So

75
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: that's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the

76
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: question for the class and you're in the class welcome,

77
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: you're not late welcome. So the question, what is your

78
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: takeaway from the latest voter claiming they rubber stamped Robert

79
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: Kraft over Belichick and did bring up spygate as an

80
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: ethical blemish in order to get Kraft a gold jacket

81
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: right away. Now, I know Craft's been on the ballot before,

82
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: but now over Bill Belichick. So my thoughts on this.

83
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: I've got Midway Arcade, Golden Corral, and Doppelganger, and we

84
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together. We're gonna make

85
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: some fun fetti cookies. This is what we're gonna make. Yum,

86
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: yum to my tumb tumb all right. So, ay, this

87
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: is another one of these head scratchers. You try to

88
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: figure it out. The logic behind it doesn't make a

89
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: lot of sense. This guy, Mike Chappele again, the guy

90
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: I believe that's his name. He appears to be a

91
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: first of a dinosaur like t Rex. I believe t Rex.

92
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: I think he's related to tears. Hall of Fame voter leaving,

93
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: Let's just try to try to go down a logical

94
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: path together. What you say, all right, So you leave

95
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: Belichick off the ballot, and you then you give the

96
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: thumbs up to Robert Kraft to give him the fast

97
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: pass to Canton, Ohio, and you use one of the

98
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: things you use is this ethical conversation about spygate you

99
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: play the Spygate card from the bottom of the deck,

100
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: and so the coach is radioactive, like Belichick is obviously radioactive.

101
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: That's why you didn't vote for him. But the billionaire

102
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: owner who hired Belichick and signs the checks gets a halo.

103
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: Is that? Am I reading the room? Right? Did I

104
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: get the right? I think I got right right. So

105
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: it's I believe we call this selective morality. That's what

106
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: we call that, kerry picking. It's kind of like going

107
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: to the Midway arcade and you're excited to go to

108
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: the arcade, get all your tokens ready to go, and yeah,

109
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: you go to the claw machine right now, ignore the

110
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: busted machines, grab the shiny prize and pretend the game's

111
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: fair and all that stuff. It's moral cosplay. Now, if

112
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: Spygate was so horrible, right, this was the worst thing ever. Now, No,

113
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: I didn't see him mentioned the flake Gate because that

114
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: was fugezy. So he mentioned spy Gate. He leaned into that.

115
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: So if Spygate was horrible and it disqualifies Belichick and

116
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: that's your opinion, that's fine. And he said, Okay, I

117
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: believe the NFL is different. Pro football is different. Than baseball,

118
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: although baseball they're okay with that now too. They like

119
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: cheating in baseball. The Baseball Riders have endorsed cheating, a

120
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: cheating as two one thousand all is in the Baseball

121
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, Carlos the Cheater belt, Round Bang Bang

122
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: from the Astros. So they're okay with it now. But

123
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: in football it's always been like, Hey, the forty nine

124
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: ers cheeted with Montana and Jerry Rice. The Dolphins with

125
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: Don Shula were in some funny business when he came

126
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: to Miami. Initially, there were some other stories. There was

127
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: a site. It's not online anymore, but it documented everything.

128
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure if you go back on the way back

129
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,119
Speaker 1: machine you can find it. Every single team, multiple cheating

130
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: scandals in the NFL, and it's you know, it's still

131
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: bouncing around the dark web. You can find that information.

132
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: So okay, fine, But again, if Spygate was the worst

133
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: of the worst, and everyone's fingerprints are on it, that

134
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: would mean Robert Kraft. That would mean the players, not

135
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: just Belichick. Otherwise you're playing favorite. So if you connect

136
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: the dots on the voters so far that we know

137
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: did not vote for Belichick, you've got the guy from

138
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: Kansas City, the writer I've never heard of. You got

139
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: this guy from Indianapolis who's a first cousin of the dinosaurs,

140
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: And you're telling me that Bill Pollian didn't do any

141
00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: campaigning behind the scenes. I don't know about them. Don't

142
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: know about that one. Please. So the logical conclusion, if

143
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 1: you're looking for consistency, not that they're often is consistency,

144
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: is that Tom Brady will not be voted into the

145
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame when he's eligible in a couple of

146
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: years because of the optics. And then you've got the

147
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: last chance argument, which we've talked about in previous episodes

148
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: of the show, and I really don't understand it. I

149
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: don't If it's your last chance, then chances are that

150
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: you shouldn't get in the Hall of Fame, like Ken

151
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: Anderson not a Hall of Famer, Greenwood not a Hall

152
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: of Famer. But these guys are getting in because they

153
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: feel bad because it's the last chance. And it's not

154
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: really standards. It's like it's politics, which I guess we

155
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: should have known anyway. It's flashing lights over to the right.

156
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: And then you've got some rigged thing of a jig

157
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: thing over here and you get all that all right? Now,

158
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: Meanwhile to Buffalo we go. Here, we go Buffalo. So

159
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: entering the rule on crutches after foot surgery, we had

160
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: Bill's quarterback Josh Allen, Josh Allen, who addressed the blue

161
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: whale in the room. He commented for the first time

162
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: on his head coach getting poll axed after the loss

163
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: to the Broncos in the playoffs. Now, Allen had a

164
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: lot to say, but we'll focus in on the money quote.

165
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: So Josh Allen said he was very emotional as the

166
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: owner called him. Pagoula called him with the news that

167
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: McDermott was being exterminated as the coach of the team

168
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: in Western New York given the pinksip. So he also

169
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: mentioned that he took responsibility for it in that he

170
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: played a role in this. So the question here Bill's

171
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: quarterback Josh Allen blaming himself for Sean McDermott getting fired.

172
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: Is that authentic or is that optics? Authentic or optics?

173
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: So it's both authentic and it's strategic. I would say

174
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: it's one of those deals. What else are you gonna say?

175
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: If Josh Allen shrugged and say not my problem. Yeah,

176
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: he'd look like a grade A douche nozzle if he

177
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: had said that this is basic quarterback damage control. Terry Pagoula,

178
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: the owner, the one who turned this into a soap op.

179
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: But he's the one right the owners out here telling

180
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: everyone that the things that helped him decide to get

181
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: rid of Mcdermotdy claimed that after the loss in the

182
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: Mile High City, the owner Terry Pegoula, walked into the

183
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: locker room and saw Josh Allen crying, blubbering up and

184
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: all that after the Broncos loss, and that was the

185
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: final straw that broke the buffalo's back, or in this case,

186
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: the coach is back. So now Alan Josh Allen's got

187
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: to eat it publicly. It's like claiming, Hey, it's my

188
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: fault the buffet Golden Corral. The Golden Corral buffet ran

189
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: out of butterfly shrimp. I don't work it, don't it's

190
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: not my job. I don't do that, But it's my

191
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: fault that we don't have butterfly shrimp at Golden Corral,

192
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: even though it's not your fault. So we know the

193
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: margins of razor thin. In the playoffs, typically the games

194
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: are decided in the fourth quarter unless the team doesn't

195
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: show up like the forty nine ers. And when you're

196
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: the franchise quarterback. When you're the franchise quarterback, the buck's

197
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: supposed to stop with you, even if the special teams

198
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: trips over their own shoelaces and the defense forgets how

199
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: to tackle. And let's be honest here, this last loss

200
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: is on Josh Alley. You can make the argument the

201
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: other ones were not, but this one was absolutely on

202
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. He sucked at a time he cannot suck.

203
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: He had four turnovers that melt down in the second

204
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: quarter there against Denver. That's a crime scene. And for

205
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: all of the sexy playoff numbers that Josh Allen has,

206
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:05,119
Speaker 1: it's often that one extra throw or that one scamper

207
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: in those classic games against the Chiefs where you could have,

208
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: should have would have won, but you didn't. And so yeah,

209
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 1: he owns it, and that's what you're supposed to do.

210
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: This is leadership. And even if the Bill's owner is

211
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: a wack adoodle, and the firing of McDermott was actually

212
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: baked month ago, banked into the team months ago, meaning

213
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: that if you don't win in the playoffs. That's it,

214
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: it's over. You still have to play the game now.

215
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,599
Speaker 1: Speaking of that, we're going to stay in Buffalo for

216
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: the final part of this. The last word here the

217
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: new Bills coach Joe Brady, Joe Brady is now Tom

218
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: Joe Brady. So, Joe Brady, I never heard this guy talk.

219
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: Joe Brady expressed his complete support for wide receiver Keon Coleman,

220
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: the battle wide receiver. In fact, he went over the

221
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: top here as Joe Brady said that Keon Coleman is

222
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: going to be a Buffalo Bill. He said that close

223
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 1: quote on that quote continued later, Joe Brady, the new

224
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: coach in Buffalo, said, I told Keon when I got hired,

225
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: the best thing that happened to Keon Coleman was me

226
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: being the head coach, Brady said, pumping his chest out

227
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. He said, I was one of

228
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: the ones that stood on the table for Keon Coleman,

229
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: and I believe in Keon Coleman now. Brady then dismissed

230
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: the incompetence of the player in twenty twenty five, saying

231
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: it was a learning year for Coleman, who was the

232
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: second round pick in the twenty twenty four NFL draft,

233
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: he said it was a learning year. Twenty five was

234
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: a learning year, he claimed, So any, I mean, we're

235
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: gonna break it down a million ways and all that.

236
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: This comes after the owner, Terry Pagula, had that famous

237
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: news conference where he publicly stated that the coaching staff,

238
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: under Sean mcdner, it pushed to draft Coleman. That became

239
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: a talking point because Coleman sucks and he's bad at

240
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: his job, and it was not the GM Brandon Bean's fault.

241
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: He absolved being of any wrongdoing, highlighting how bad a

242
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: player Keon Coleman is and whatnot.

243
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 3: And he was.

244
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: He was an abject failure with the bill. So the question, though,

245
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: here's how we're going to get into this. So yet

246
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: the new coach, Joe Brady claiming that he stood on

247
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: the table for Keon Coleman, and you know, twenty twenty

248
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: five was just a learning year. What jumps out at

249
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: you about all this? So I mentioned this, I don't

250
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: know if you were pan attention. I had never heard

251
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: this cat speak Joe Brady. I don't remember. Maybe when

252
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: he was in college he was at LSU with Burrow

253
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: and those guys, and maybe he spoke at some point,

254
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: but I just remember the Cajun Fred Flintstone talking. I

255
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: don't remember Joe Brady, so i'd never really heard him speak.

256
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: And now that we've heard the cat out of the bag,

257
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: it appears that he is a dopple ganger of Tony

258
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: Robbins giving a sermon, Awaken the giant within, raw raw,

259
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: clap clap, walk on fire and when you peel back

260
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: the curtain. Keon Coleman, so far and all we have

261
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: is to judge your body work, Keon Coleman from the

262
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: outside looking in. Keon Coleman treated the NFL like it

263
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: was a part time job. And he was working the

264
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: night shift at McDonald's and he didn't really like the job,

265
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: and he had to clean the ice cream machine and

266
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: he didn't want to do that, and so he just

267
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: not show up. But he was late to meetings. He

268
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: was a healthy scratch multiple times piling up. Those things

269
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: were plying up like parking tickets. There was zero sense

270
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: of urgency. The watch, you McCall, it was not locked in.

271
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: And Brady, Joe Brady calling twenty twenty five a learning

272
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: year is wild spin And I might be wrong. I

273
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: don't really know. I'm just in the Overnight Show, so

274
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: what do I know? But I don't think the NFL

275
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: is a trade school. It's like you can go and

276
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: become a plumber and you go to school and you

277
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: learn about that and make good money and have a

278
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: good life and good career and all that. However, the

279
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: NFL is like it's supposed to be uber competitive, right,

280
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: this is the NFL not for long. Jerry Glanville taught

281
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 1: me that when I was a little boy, this old

282
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: NFL coach. NFL stands for not for long. And there

283
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: is no on the job training, like you either do

284
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: or you don't, and if you don't, you are replaced.

285
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: And so this feels like Joe Brady crawling into the

286
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: trunk looking for a fix a flat because Coleman, Keon

287
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: Coleman's got a he's got a flat tire. And if

288
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: we're just keeping it real here the other issue now,

289
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: I still believe Keon Coleman will be gone by the

290
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: time we get through the NFL Draft. It'll be traded

291
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: on like day three of the draft, when no one's

292
00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: paying attention for a conditional something something. His current value, though,

293
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: I looked it up. If you look at the websites

294
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: that track value, Keon Coleman's value in the trade market

295
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: is a bag of fertilizer which is half used, and

296
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: some farts to be named later. And they're not even

297
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: wet farts, they're just regular farts. So belief is nice.

298
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: Productions seemingly more important than belief. And this, yeah, I

299
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: mean this, This guy can't even show up on time,

300
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: and the coaches out there saying, I know it was metaphorical,

301
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 1: but I got on the table for this guy. Why

302
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: would you get on the table for a guy it

303
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: doesn't like his job, doesn't show up to his job.

304
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: It's mind boch like they they must think, he must

305
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: think Joe Brady, this guy is so talented that he

306
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: gets him all horny, that he's so down, because that

307
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: must be it, right Otherwise, if some if you have

308
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,679

Speaker 1: job seriously and lolly gags around like why are you

Speaker 1: Does he have the nuclear codes or something like that?

312
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: The guy's a second round baker who doesn't appear to

330
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 1: Our lead this hour is from Baltimore. Big day for

331
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: new coaches in the NFL. They were welcomed in the

332
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 1: pep rallies. We we we're so excited. Hey, all right,

333
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: So the Ravens who didn't need to get rid of

334
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: a coach, but did they welcomed their new poet. Their

335
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: new lead poet was a gala event Big Media, Spread

336
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: Sports with Coleman. All the freeloaders were there showing down.

337
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,719
Speaker 1: So following in the footsteps of John Harbaugh was a

338
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: disciple of John Harbaugh and Jim Harbaugh. If you didn't

339
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: hear the welcome to town shindig, perhaps not. We're talking

340
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: about the new coach of the Ravens. Jesse Minter is

341
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: his name, and defense is his game. He was with

342
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: the Chargers with Jim Harbaugh last couple of years, so

343
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: he was welcomed and he immediately announced the money quote.

344
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: We're not going to give you all the nonsense. The

345
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: money quote here from jesse Minter. He said that he

346
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: was looking forward to building a relationship with the quarterback

347
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. In fact, just to prove I'm not lying

348
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: about this, here is jesse Minter waxing poetic about what

349
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: he's looking to do with the two time MVP and

350
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: epic video game player, Lamar Jackson.

351
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 4: Lamar and I have had multiple conversations. It's been great.

352
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 4: It's been great to get to know him. I think

353
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 4: relationships take time, and so you don't become the head

354
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 4: coach of the Ravens and expect to have a deep

355
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 4: relationship with anybody.

356
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 1: So those take time.

357
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 4: We've we've been working towards that already, We've had wonderful conversations.

358
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 4: Look forward to many, many more. I just look forward

359
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 4: to connecting with him, helping him become the best version

360
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 4: of himself, creating a team identity that allows him to thrive,

361
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 4: which he's already proven to be an elite, elite, one

362
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 4: of the best, the best player in the National Football League,

363
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 4: and put a team around him that allows him to

364
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 4: reach out ultimate goal of bringing a Super Bowl back

365
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 4: to Baltimore.

366
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's a good jumping off point. Let us

367
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: discuss the question. You just heard it, the new Ravens

368
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: coach Jesse Minter wanting to build a bond with Lamar Jackson.

369
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: How do you see this working out? How do you

370
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: see this one working out? So I've got my observations,

371
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: I got Elvis Presley Tender, and I hop and we

372
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are

373
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: gonna play tick tack two is what we're going to play.

374
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 1: So number one, all right, enough enough, all right, so

375
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: buckle up the old Woody roller coaster, the woody roller

376
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: coaster here because this was a verbal bouquet for Lamar.

377
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 1: Now we know, those of you that pay close attention

378
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: know that all Jesse Mintor really said was Lamar Jackson

379
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: is as good as every other player in the NFL.

380
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: Because the term best means as good as all the

381
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: others in that category. He didn't say that he was

382
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: better than all the other players. He said he was

383
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: the best player in the NFL. Therefore, Jesse Mintor thinks

384
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: that Lamar Jackson is good as that stiff Justin Herbert

385
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: and Kyler Murray and all these other guys. So it's

386
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: what you have to do right the toll you paid

387
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: across the bridge. And the reality is when you talk

388
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 1: about whether or not you can build a bond with

389
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, if you do not connect with Lamar, you

390
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: do not last. It is non negotiable. It's one of

391
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: those non negotiable situations here. The Baltimore job lives and

392
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: dies with Lamar Jackson. It does. If you lose Lamar,

393
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: you're not a head coach. You're doing the moonwalk and

394
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: you're a generic coordinator picking up frequent flyer miles is

395
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,719
Speaker 1: what you are. If this goes sideways, like if this

396
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: makes a dramatic turn sideways, it's Elvis Presley return to

397
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: sender stamp it gone see you later. He'll be back

398
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: as a defensive coordinator for the Chargers or wherever else.

399
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: But mintor assuming, assuming he can can get a bond here,

400
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: then you got something. If not, again, you just go

401
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: over to Express pro and you update your profile and

402
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: all that. The ugly truth is, and this has now

403
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: been confirmed, My instinct was proper. My instinct validated what

404
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: we initially said. When Lamar Jackson failed to endorse John

405
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: Harbaugh after the ravens idiot kicker cost them a playoff

406
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: berth against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Lamar was asked point

407
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: blank whether whether or not in the locker room you

408
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: want John Harbaugh back, And he gave some bull crap excuse,

409
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: which some of you dumb people thought, Oh, it's okay.

410
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 1: It was just after the game. You get why would

411
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: he be able to endorse his coach right after the game. Well,

412
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: it turns out he was stabbing John Harbaugh on the back.

413
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: He's a coach killer, Lamar Jackson. He was at loggerheads

414
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: with John Harbaugh, and this was apparently going on behind

415
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: the scenes, and the chatter is that it reached crescendo

416
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: when that story. Forget what publication in Baltimore, but was

417
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: it the Baltimore Son anything one of the there's like

418
00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: two possibilities. They wrote the story that claimed that Lamar

419
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: Jackson fell asleep in meetings, he wasn't taking his job

420
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: seriously and all that stuff. And so the theory was

421
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: they think that came from Harbaughs people and then Lamar

422
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: got all upset and that's that. And now either way

423
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: there was something there, whether that's it or something else,

424
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: and that does matter. Right. The kemodo dragon in the

425
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: room continues to be that this is one of the

426
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: biggest choke artists in the playoffs. Lamar Jackson a terrible

427
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: big game quarterback despite all the sex appeal that he's

428
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: got during the regular season. Eight years with the Raid,

429
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: I can't believe it's been that long. That's wild to me.

430
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: I believe it's eight seasons now, three playoff wins. In

431
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: some of those playoff wins, he was terrible. Never passed

432
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship Game. The bigger the stage, the shakier

433
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: the return. And that's been the way it has gone

434
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 1: for Lamar. So yeah, you bond all you want. And

435
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: yet if January comes around and Lamar turns into a

436
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: pops and playoff, Lamar shows up blank blank bye bye,

437
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: see you later, and Jesse Mintter's tenure will not even

438
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: be a footnote in Ravens history. I didn't get the

439
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: sense this is going to be one of the great leaders.

440
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: Now you can't go to Gaga one way or the other.

441
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 1: On the opening news conference, I didn't get the vibe

442
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna be really good. I didn't get that.

443
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: I got like he's just a diamond dozen. There's nothing

444
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: really special about him. He's just just a coach, a jack.

445
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: He's just there all right now. Pitch duo. We head

446
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: to the Great White North. We go a lot of buzz,

447
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: you can hear it, a lot of buses, a lot

448
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: of buzz about the Vikings. Now, some of this coming

449
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: from Mobile, where all the NFL scouts are gathered to

450
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: It's like a mini meat market there. They're trying to

451
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: figure out who they're gonna draft and who's gonna break

452
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: their heart next year, and they draft them in April.

453
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: So on one hand, there's some noise saying, well, how

454
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: the Vikings have faith in JJ McCarthy, the quarterback from Michigan,

455
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: a Michigan man, although he's not from Michigan, that faith

456
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,479
Speaker 1: in JJ McCarthy, And ye, yeah, they're worried about the

457
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: injuries and that's not ideal. That's the main worry. And

458
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 1: then on the other hand, there's reports that Minnesota is

459
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 1: also keeping an eye on forty nine or backup quarterback

460
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 1: Mac Jones and colts back up Anthony Richardson as possible

461
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: add on items. No, how you order the meal and

462
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 1: you can add on some other items there. Yeah, so

463
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: the question Vikings supposedly and miss old Vikings executives, they

464
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: like JJ McCarthy, yet are kicking the tires on mac

465
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: Jones and Anthony Richardson. So how does all of this

466
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: sound to you? Thanks for asking? All right? So the

467
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: Purple people eaters tell us that JJ McCarthy's the guy,

468
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: and yet their actions you know what this is like

469
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 1: the analogies. It's like the sorority girl that swears she's

470
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: head over heels for her boyfriend and then secretly under

471
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: the table at dinner she's scrolling tender trying to find

472
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: some other Schmendrick. It's mixed messages. McCarthy has shown nothing.

473
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: There's no evidence that he's any good. He's heading into

474
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: year three although he didn't play his first year, and

475
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: let's be real here, guy had a red shirt season

476
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: to learn by osmosis and went out there and rode

477
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: the vomit comment. His only elite skill. I'm gonna be

478
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: Manny bright soon. I'm gonna be totally negative guy here,

479
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: overnight gas bag negative guy. The only elite skill that

480
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: he has so far has been he knows exactly where

481
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,479
Speaker 1: to sit when he goes to the trainer's room and

482
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: get a massage. That's it. He's an elite guy in

483
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: the trainer's room. He's an all pro if you're a doctor,

484
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: because he keeps you busy, and he's got the medical

485
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: chart of a ninety year old and the stat line

486
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: of someone who's in the witness protection program. And so

487
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: you make the call, what should the Vikings do. It's

488
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: obvious what they're doing is their window shopping, whether or

489
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: not they want to give up what they have to

490
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: give up to get these players. They're kicking the tires

491
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: on mac Jones, who, let's face it, is a failed starter.

492
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: He had a chance with the Patriots. He's the guy

493
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: that was in there with that first wave of quarterbacks

494
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: after Tom Brady left with Cam Newton and mac Jones

495
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: and did not play at a high level. He looks

496
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: like he's a good backup, bad starter. Then you've got

497
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, who's claimed a famous He was overdrafted because

498
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: Jim Mersey was on a bender apparently and recommended drafting

499
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, and he's most famous. This is not good.

500
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: You're when you're most famous for quitting, for tapping out

501
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: and pretending you're a boxer and saying no moss. That's

502
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: that's a problem. So and the reason the Vikings would

503
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: even consider going down either one of those roads is

504
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: rather obvious. That they had Sam Donald who's about to

505
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: choke in the Super Bowl and Daniel Jones, who fell

506
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: apart at the end for the Colts. But they did

507
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: play for the regular season. By NFL standards, they played

508
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: as high level reclamation projects. And so you look at

509
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: the GM there Quazy Adolpha Mensa, it's a mouthful and

510
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: he's like I worked with Donald before, so let's bring

511
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: somebody else in. Well, why don't we Let's have an episode.

512
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna do an episode of Extreme Makeover Quarterback Edition.

513
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: Who Says No? And the Vikings quarterback room. It's not

514
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: really moving forward. It's stuck in the neutral zone and

515
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: it's hovering in between waiting for a miracle that isn't

516
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: coming and just depression. It's in between. It's in between

517
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: those things. Now final point to phill A Delphia we go.

518
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: There were some rumors in the the echo chamber that

519
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: the Eagles could not find an offensive coordinator, so Nick

520
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: Sirianni was gonna end up being the de facto offensive

521
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: coordinator and nobody wanted to Jock Well, that turned out

522
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: to be erroneus because some news out of the Delaware

523
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: Valley the Eagles have named a new offensive coordinator. I

524
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: know you're fascinated by that. So we've learned that Nick

525
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: Sirianni has handpicked former Green Bay Packer assistant Sean Manion

526
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: as their new offensive coordinator. Huh why set Yeah, okay, yeah,

527
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: So the Cotton Candy Machine, the PR department for the

528
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: Philadelphia football team selling the fact that Manion played under

529
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: Sean McVay and Kevin O'Connell when he was with the Rams,

530
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: longtime Rams backup quarterback, and then he served as the

531
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: quarterback coach at lambeau Field under head coach Matt Lafleur.

532
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: So they're selling the resumes. It's one of those bowld

533
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: bet on you quarterback development, modern offense guy, that whole

534
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: crap question. So the Eagles hire Sean Mannon as their

535
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: new OC What does this tell us? It took a

536
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: while to get here, but what does this tell us?

537
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: So it tells me this job is radio active, unwanted.

538
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: We are talking about Chero Noble with a headset Cheron

539
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: Noble with a headset two years removed, two years removed

540
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: from winning the Super Bowl, and this is the best

541
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: that you can do. Manion, who was only there a

542
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: couple of years in the as a coach in the NFL,

543
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: and I remember with the Rams and when he was

544
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: playing for the Rams, it was always why I hope

545
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: he didn't get in the game. We're porked. If he

546
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: gets in the game, we can't. We had no chance.

547
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: So two years as an NFL assistant, he has not

548
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: been a play caller. And now he's supposed to walk

549
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: into a veteran in Leyden locker room with a lot

550
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: of big egos, like he's Moses with the tablets and

551
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna stroll in there. Hello boys, Uh okay, good.

552
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: And it also reminds us that this is a starter job.

553
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: It should not be a starter job. It's a starter job.

554
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: It screams of instability. Two offensive coordinators in two years.

555
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts every year has a new offensive coordinator, and

556
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: so it's a guy essentially an intern two years in

557
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: coaching and now you're the offensive coordinator. You talk about

558
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: leapfrocking some other people and the chatter about bringing the

559
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: Sean McVay rams offense to the Delaware Valley. That is

560
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: Paulie with a capitol peak. Come on, that's I hoop

561
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: fluffy pancakes is what that is. It's marketing fluff. Fluffy

562
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: mcfluff is what that is. The problem with that is

563
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts ain't running the Sean McVay offense. It's not happening.

564
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: And the reason why is because he's unable to do it. Otherwise,

565
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: the Eagles would already want they would have already run

566
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: a version of that offense if he had the skill set.

567
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,399
Speaker 1: It's not like the NFL doesn't know how to run

568
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 1: the McVeigh offense. Most of the teams run a version

569
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: of what McVeigh does these days anyway, So he's Jalen Hurts.

570
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 1: The one thing he does really well is the tushy pushy,

571
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: and he can't make all the throws, and so that

572
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 1: train derailed off the tracks before it left the station.

573
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: The buzz is that the team in Philadelphia offered Brian

574
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: Dayball the job, and Dave Ball had multiple offers the

575
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: former Giants coach, and he picked Nashville over Philadelphia rather

576
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: than coach Jalen Hurts and his old running backs to

577
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley. He instead chose Nashville so he could coach.

578
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: We asked cam mord We asked cam Ward, and then

579
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: you got Mike McDaniel, which would have been a terrible fit,

580
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: just an absolutely horrific fit, but would have been great

581
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: for talk radio, the old Dolphin coach. And he's right

582
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: now eating a bacon wrapped hot dog somewhere in the

583
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,240
Speaker 1: hood in Eaglewood as he takes over as the Chargers.

584
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 1: So they saw smoke and they ran. They Ran Ran

585
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: Ran Ran Ran Ran Ran.

586
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller

587

Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

588
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: It's maller. How about that? To the third degree? This

589
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: is one big Ben gets grilled good.

590
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 5: Well.

591
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 3: Look, it is being reported that the Steelers have officially

592
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 3: given Aaron Rodgers a timeline and an ultimatum. Rodgers has

593
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 3: basically one month to figure out what he wants to do,

594
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 3: as the team wants an answer before free agency. Then

595
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 3: do you think Rogers will decide by them?

596
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: Rodgers, the way he's wired, He's gonna do things on

597
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: his own time. He's not rushing to go back to

598
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh or anything like that with Tomlin not there, and

599
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that he and McCarthy were not on

600
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: great terms at the end of McCarthy's running Green Bay.

601
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: So I he will do what Rogers wants to do,

602
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: and he'll take his time, go have some ayahuasca, hang

603
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: out with Joe Rogan, you know, kill Bigfoot, and then

604
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: he'll decide next.

605
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 3: On Wednesday, it was reported that Jason Tatum is pumping

606
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 3: the brakes on his rehab and is now considering sitting

607
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 3: out the entire season, Ben, the Celtics have done pretty

608
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 3: well without him. You think Jalen Brown can be the

609
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 3: guy to take them on a deep playoff run.

610
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,919
Speaker 1: Well, he's not the guy. He's played great Jalen Brown

611
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: this season, and he's one of the guys in the

00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 3: the he broke into like McDonald's right.

769
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

770
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,400

771
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: No, I don't know that. I don't think about that.

772
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: You ever heard that. That's the first time I've ever

773
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: heard it.

774
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 3: Really wow. That one's a Leonardo DiCaprio movie. Paul Thomas Anderson. Yeah,

775
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 3: that's probably one of the story nurs.

776
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: I say, the storyline he.

777
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 3: Is like a revolutionary that it grows up and he

778
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 3: has a kid, and he kind of like falls out

779
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 3: of the whole, like you know, Viva la revolution thing,

780
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 3: and then it all comes, it all comes rushing back

781
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 3: because he lives off the grid and he was, you know,

782
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 3: a criminal, and then they try to find him arrest him.

783
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 3: It's it's it's pretty good. Then we've got the secret Agent. No, no, no,

784
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 3: I don't know it is sentimental value.
