Speaker 1: is coming down with his family. I go, okay, I'm

86
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: just gonna not even look at him. I'm gonna look

87
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: the other way because we're standing here and Bailly's kind

88
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: of hanging out, like, you know, smelling stuff.

89
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 3: And the guy comes up to me and he says, hey,

90
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I look at him.

91
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,720

93
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I couldn't stand the guy. I'm like real,

94
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: like all of a sudden, I walked in in the

95
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: like like I turned on a dark room light. Oh,

96
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,440

Speaker 4: You got really mad too, Like he hadn't really salty

99
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 4: at him for you know, having his moment of.

100
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 3: Only's been dealing with his family. Okay, you're up for

101
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 3: a nice walk with your dog.

102
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 4: You're away from your family and anybody that could be

103
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 4: bothering you. He's stuck with his okay, And in that moment,

104
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 4: someone probably said, hey, Dad, we need this picture. He's

105
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 4: probably been trying to take it for a half hour

106
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 4: when you and Bailey stumbled upon him.

107
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 3: I'm sure his family told him, Dad.

108
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: You you. The guy apologized to you twice. The guy,

109
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: he said, he was sorry twice. And it's not like

110
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: it's not like Bailey. It's like he ran over or

111
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: he went to the bathroom on his shoes or anything

112
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: or that a good move. It was literally, it was

113
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: all of a two and a half second thing, and

114
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: I go and there's nothing you were timing it for.

115
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 3: That was the only time. I tell you at sunset now,

116
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 3: I gonna wait a whole day. No, I was middle

117
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 3: of the day. So he's being really unread. But but

118
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 3: again again I know, but I told the guy happy news.

119
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 4: He could have dropped a how do you insert your

120
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 4: favorite director here?

121
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: I'm losing the light. I told them happy.

122
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: So it was black Monday in the NFL today for

123
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: head coaches and a couple of jobs to get to

124
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: here where teams are looking for new head coaches. Right,

125
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: we saw today Raheem Morris is going to be interviewed

126
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: by the Titans for their head coaching job after getting

127
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: let go by the Falcons pretty much immediately after their

128
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: final game. Hey, they win yesterday. They keep the Bucks

129
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,799
Speaker 1: out of the playoffs. They won games down the stretch. Hey, thanks, Rahiem.

130
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: Yeah you're going sorry about that. You're out all the

131
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: GMS out too.

132
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 4: Will Raheem Morris's win also cost Todd Bowles Super Bowls

133
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 4: his job because he made it impassion plea. But you

134
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 4: go eight to nine, you win four in a row

135
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 4: down the stretch. Did you make the decision on starting

136
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 4: Michael Pennock's over Kirk Cousins, No, you didn't. Drake London

137
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 4: jumping up and down and losing his mind after scoring

138
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 4: a touchdown.

139
00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: And that's the thing right for this opening, just for

140
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes on on Raheem Morris.

141
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 3: I don't know.

142
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: That this is an opening you really want if you're

143
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: gonna be a head coach in the NFL, because on

144
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: the surface, it looks great. You have a potential franchise quarterback,

145
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: you have an absolute franchise running back, You have pretty

146
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: good weapons at wide receiver and potentially a tight end.

147
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 3: You got to figure out what you're doing.

148
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, but this mix just hasn't worked. For the last

149
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: couple of years. It's been the same players and it

150
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: just hasn't worked. It hasn't popped. And now the next

151
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: coach coming in is Michael Pennick's a franchise quarterback. You

152
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: still don't know after two years, right, JJ McCarthy. They

153
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: don't know after one year, Michael Pennick Junior, Which tells

154
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: me if you don't know after two years, how much

155
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: longer are you gonna go?

156
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 3: Right?

157
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: But Jean Robinson is great, right, best running back in

158
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: the NFL? So okay, But Kyle Pitts is he really

159
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: gonna break out? Is he ever gonna really do that?

160
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 2: Right?

161
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 3: Drake London Mooney? These guys are they really great? Received?

162
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,799
Speaker 3: Are they consistent enough? Receivers?

163
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: You have a lot of young talent, but for the

164
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,119
Speaker 1: last two years it hasn't jelled. So do you really

165
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: think it's an overwhelming talent? Like it's different than walking

166
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: into New York going Jackson, Dart Scataboo, Tyrone, Tracy Malik, Neighbors,

167
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,559
Speaker 1: Wandelle Robinson, Theo Johnson. You got some dudes, a pretty

168
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: good defensive line. You got some dudes. Man, that's a

169
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: great job. The Falcons, I don't know. I feel like

170
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: they need a new mix and they need something different.

171
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: And if you're a head coach, you're not walking into

172
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: position where you can succeed. You're walking into a spot

173
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: where you have a lot of young talent, but it's

174
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: not been able to coalesce. And two years is a

175
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: long time in the NFL to not know if you

176
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: have a franchise quarterback, wide receiver is good enough, a

177
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: franchise tight end you don't. And it's a bad division

178
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: and you still couldn't make enough. You couldn't win one

179
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: more game. You couldn't find a way to do that

180
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, I don't know that the Atlanta Falcons

181
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: is a great job. And you got this is caveat

182
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: empdor for whoever wants to come in. If you think

183
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: that's a great job, man, there's other teams to cast

184
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: your lot with better than Atlanta.

185
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the curiosity, right Rahee Morris. She said he's

186
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 4: gonna interview with Tennessee. It seems like they're gonna talk

187
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 4: to everybody favorite Louna Rumos getting Oh, Tennessee's doing the

188
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 4: old nationwide search for our new head.

189
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 3: Want to make it look like we really know what

190
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 3: we're doing. We're gonna talk to twenty.

191
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: Five guys to be our next head coach, including Jeff Fisher.

192
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 3: Bring him back. You think you might get a call

193
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 3: about it.

194
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 4: You can't tell why not. But you look at that roster,

195
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 4: right Becau Kyle Pitts is done. Are you gonna franchise him?

196
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean really you you're gonna pay him big dollars?

197
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 4: He No, Michael Pennix, you talk about whether you trust

198
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 4: him as your franchise or not. You don't know when

199
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 4: he's gonna be ready, right, he just suffered another big injury.

200
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins, you've got under contract. Someone might be willing

201
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 4: to take it on. But Arthur Blank could have done

202
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 4: that this year in theory. But showed reticence to that

203
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 4: buy out. By the way, he also did the Godfather hug.

204
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 4: All he's waiting for was the full kiss on the

205
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 4: cheek and afraid online because of Cousins also needed to

206
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 4: prove that he could still.

207
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: Sling coming off the last year getting bench. Nobody wanted it.

208
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: But now after this, Okay, he's shown he can do it.

209
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: He can be a bridge squad. We gotta find it.

210
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: Money becomes the money. But now teams will be a

211
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: little bit more interesting. If I'm Atlanta and we've been.

212
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 4: Saying this or right, I've certainly been saying it to

213
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 4: you all along, it's like he's my guy, Like I've

214
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 4: already pot committed that money. This So like in Panis,

215
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 4: he comes along and you still have two more years

216
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 4: on his rookie deal to decide whether he works or not.

217
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 4: And then is Kirk getting through seventeen games? Probably not,

218
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 4: so you're gonna eat Panis at some point anyway.

219
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 3: That's it. Well, you got a roster. The defense was

220
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 3: supposed to be that much better. They weren't.

221
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, like it was in the great expectation. It's not

222
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: a bad job. It's just not the job you think

223
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: it is right because the job, look, you compare it

224
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: to the Giants, Dude, people should be falling all over

225
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: each other like squid game, trying to kill each other

226
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: to get this Giants job. Because of the talent level

227
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: you have there. Right in New York, you'll be able

228
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: to draw free agents like that's that's how good this

229
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: job is. But Atlanta, there's so many more pitfalls, almost

230
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 1: like it's like a trap job. Like you feel it's

231
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: greatly you may have to navigate Pennis and Cousins again next.

232
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: Would you really want to do that? Right, because you

233
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: know Arthur Blanke is committed to Pennix, And if you

234
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: can't find someone for Cousins, that, okay, you want somebody

235
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: else in there. But dude, not not all jobs that

236
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: have good young talent are great opportunities like that. I

237
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: think that that's a trap job. It seems like it's

238
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: a great job, but man, there's a lot that can

239
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: go wrong, and you're not in a position to succeed

240
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: in that job.

241
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 4: The other question is who becomes the guy to succeed

242
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 4: font No, and McKay's up in the front office, so

243
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 4: there's still a power question that's coming in and what's

244
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 4: the vision of that new GM man. You got John Robinson, who, look,

245
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 4: he's setting all time records and just absolutely absurd. Now

246
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 4: he's coming off of what three hundred and seventy touch season,

247
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 4: So that's also one of those raise your eyebrows of

248
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 4: all right, twenty twenty.

249
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: Now, now the other the other coach you got fired today,

250
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: Jonathan Gannon fired his head coach of the Cardinals. Okay,

251
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: it's the Cardinals. We knew was gonna happen three years. Yes,

252
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: he'll be a top coordinator. And that's the one thing

253
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: about this coaching cycle is that the coaches who have

254
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: been fired will be sought after. His coordinators, whether you're

255
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: you know, we talked about Dable a few minutes ago.

256
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: Gannon's gonna be sought after. But the biggest thing this

257
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: tells you with Gannon leaving, Kyler Murray is absolutely done.

258
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: We talked about this months ago, right, Murray's played his

259
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: last down as a starting quarterback with the Arizona Cardinals.

260
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: His injury history, the fact that when he was hurt

261
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: this year, you got just as good, if not better,

262
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: production from Jacoby Brissette.

263
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 3: Not that something.

264
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissett is your guy. But hey, Bressett can be

265
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: your guy for a year if you're drafting a quarterback

266
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: to try because you have to start over, right, whatever

267
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 1: it is, it's not worked. You've seen Kyler Murray for

268
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: the last six years, and while he has flashed and tantalized,

269
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: he's never broken through. You figure out the money, which

270
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: you can. Kyler Murray will be on another team next year.

271
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: We told you a month ago, either the Jets or

272
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: the Raiders or the Steelers. One of those teams is

273
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: going to wind up getting Kyler Murray because again, you'll

274
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: figure out the money. You won't have to give up

275
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: a lot and draft pick. They're going to start over.

276
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: A new coach is not going to want to come

277
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 1: in saying yes, I'll try to make it work with

278
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Hey, the guy was drafted number one overall.

279
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: You've seen other quarterbacks drafted high. It's taking them a

280
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: little bit of their journey to become great. And okay,

281
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: we've seen that, right. We've seen the journey with Sam Darnol.

282
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: We've seen the journey with other guys. We've seen journey

283
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: with Baker Mayfield. Maybe it's the journey with Kyler Murray.

284
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: He will have that kind of interest level, But there

285
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: is no way he is back as a starting quarterback

286
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: next year when they're bringing in somebody new with some

287
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: new philosophy. Now again, it's not going to be We're

288
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: going all in on a rookie quarterback. It will be, Hey,

289
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: we like Jacoby Brissett. He was pretty productive.

290
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 3: Right.

291
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: Anybody that plays fantasy that picked up Jacoby Brissett was

292
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: starting him down the stretch and feeling good about it,

293
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: great about it. So Brisset to your next guy. Yeah,

294
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: but you need to reset. Look, you had a lot

295
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: of injuries this year. Connor getting hurt, Trey Benson getting hurt,

296
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Junior got hurt. They all finished the season

297
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: on ir You thought you made a couple of moves

298
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: defensive that we're gonna work.

299
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 3: It didn't.

300
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: It's a reset, But there's no way you're coming back

301
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: with Kyler Murray. We said it a month ago. He's

302
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: played his last down as quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals.

303
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: He will be dealt in the off season.

304
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, it always comes back to patience and again, making

305
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 4: the money work out and finding a team desperate. With

306
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 4: the Raiders drafting where they are. They'll take their franchise

307
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 4: guy and Mendoza or more maybe.

308
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 3: And then move on.

309
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 4: But when we look at Arizona, I mean you're at

310
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 4: year seven of Kyler Murray and the wheels may not

311
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 4: work the same way the stuff that made him special.

312
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 4: You talk about Jacoby Brissett for fantasy purposes, and just

313
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 4: even though it's his seventh team, look at what he

314
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 4: did for Trey McBride. Okay, great tight end made that

315
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 4: much better? Why because he came up and became a

316
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 4: much better red zone target and that cannot be disputed.

317
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 4: For all years he had the Jason Witten disease of

318
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 4: being allergic to the painted grass.

319
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 3: I can move you between the twenties, but we get

320
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 3: in there, you're not.

321
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 4: Gonna see me, and literally Kyler Murray couldn't see him.

322
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 4: So now you have Jacobe percent and again it's his

323
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 4: seventh team. He's a bridge guy, but he acted like

324
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 4: a starter. He was treated like a starter. His teammates

325
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 4: loved and we talked about the guys walking in on

326
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 4: his presser after they gave him is he gave out

327
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 4: the Christmas presence and then even after yesterday's game, he's

328
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 4: given everybody a hug, going back into the locker room,

329
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 4: thanking them for what they did. He's the last man standing.

330
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 4: Gannon's gone, and now you bridge with a very inexpensive

331
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 4: veteran quarterback as you build towards the future.

332
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,280

Speaker 1: We'll get to the game of Week eighteen and a

356
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: big hot take coming your way in a minute, on camera,

357
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: on camera, always.

358
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 3: But your selfish bastard. Mea, here's the bookie priest.

359
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: So we talked a few minutes ago Kyler Murriyo Jonathan

360
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: Gannon fired as Cardinal's head coach. Today told you Kyler

361
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: Murray's played his last game as a Cardinal. We told

362
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: you that a month ago. I'm also gonna go back

363
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: to what I said a month ago about the trade

364
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: that solves both teams problems, or at least it just

365
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: exchanges one problem for another, which, if it's a new problem,

366
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: is better than facing the same.

367
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 3: Problem over and over again.

368
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray for to a tongue of Iloa who said

369
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: today to the media, a fresh.

370
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 3: Start would be dope.

371
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean it's not like I'm saying, hey,

372
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: I'm trying to be no, he said, a fresh start

373
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: would be dope. So Kyler Murray for two, a tongue

374
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: of Iloa, who says no really. Hey, wait a long Okay,

375
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute. Uh,

376
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: you're smoking dope in my classroom, mister Specoli, who says,

377
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: no really, because is either team gonna draft a quarterback? No,

378
00:16:58,360 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: the two best guys are gonna go at the top

379
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: of the first round as long as he decides come

380
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: out for Nano Mendoza and Dante Moore. Right, and it's

381
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: the Raiders and the Jets picking one too. Maybe Dante

382
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: Moore decides I want no part of the Jets. I'm

383
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,239
Speaker 1: going back to school, in which case, then you're not

384
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: taking a quarterback.

385
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 3: You're Miami.

386
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: You want to move forward, right, Okay, we got to

387
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: get out from under Tua. We'll take Kyler Murray. He

388
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: has issues. He's a little bit more talented, but we

389
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: gotta pay him a little bit more money that we're inheriting. Okay,

390
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: if you're the Cardinals, well we're trading a little bit

391
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,239
Speaker 1: more talented of a guy, but we got a guy

392
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: who's a little bit healthier, maybe not quite the player

393
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: he was, but maybe it works with our new head coach.

394
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: Maybe it works bringing in he's our bridge guy who

395
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: says no, that trade of two quarterbacks that have underachieved

396
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: but are still young enough to have some sort of

397
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: value around the league. Who says no to that, Dolphins

398
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: in the car, that trade should happen tomorrow. You should

399
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: maybe make that trade tomorrow. Hey, yeah, what if you Hey,

400
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: let's okay, let's do it. Okay, great, Yeah.

401
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 4: But if Mike McDaniel couldn't figure out how to make

402
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 4: two of work on a larger, more consistent level, the

403
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 4: hell's in?

404
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,719
Speaker 3: Next guy in Arizona gonna do it's Arizona? What does

405
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 3: it matter Sarah Zona being in Miami's Arizona? Come on,

406
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 3: who cares?

407
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: It's in that Simpsons episode where Homer says, now, we

408
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: just have to spruce up the town and wait for

409
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: an NFL team to come knocking on our door. And

410
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: then the guy because he goes up to Homer and says, Hi,

411
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: I'm with the Arizona Cardinals.

412
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 3: Keep moving, keep moving. Yeah.

413
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 4: If I'm Mike McDaniel, I want my I want a

414
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 4: new new fresh blood. So either it's quinn Ewers, who

415
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 4: you saw the last couple of weeks and maybe you

416
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 4: decide you can make something out of that, or I

417
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 4: want a shining.

418
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: Angel, Quinn Youewers and Kyler Murray. You could do that

419
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,239
Speaker 1: if you want to. I'm not saying you don't have

420
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: to since I picked up when you were in both

421
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: my dynasty leagues.

422
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 3: Hey, I'm okay with that.

423
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just trying to say, like if i'm I'm McDaniel,

424
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 4: I'm also talking to the new GM, which evidently he's

425
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 4: going to help in that search.

426
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 3: So not only is he safe, he's helping.

427
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: Guy McDaniel say, I'm acting like I'm helping the GM.

428
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, great, you're.

429
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 4: The assistant to the regional manager, Isn't Isn't Troy Aikman

430
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 4: the guy right now? You got Akman in there and

431
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 4: Marino and they're gonna slap fight over who gets more credit.

432
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 4: Tree Aikman may actually play quarterback next year for my body. Yeah,

433
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 4: remember those rooms the end of his career, always gonna

434
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 4: go to Miami for a year.

435
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: But I mean real, I mean he's still in better

436
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: shape than most. Think about that trade. If you're gonna

437
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: trade both of these guys, right, and those have been

438
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: big stories today, the money situation has to be figured out.

439
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: You're not getting great draft picks back, so Okay. If

440
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: that's the case, if I'm trading my quarterback that I'm

441
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: paying a lot of money to for another quarterback who's

442
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,719
Speaker 1: not the same guy, maybe I may because you can

443
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: move on from Kyler Murray's contract after this year. You

444
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: can move on there after this year. The dead cap

445
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: is not a big deal. The guaranteed money is not

446
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 1: a big deal. So but you're trading for him for

447
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: one year. You want Kyler Murray for this year, so

448
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 1: you would be okay with that. So this again, this

449
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: solves everybody, makes too much sense to not happen. We

450
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about tons of money, don't have

451
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: to worry about draft picks. It's a quarterback quarterback trade.

452
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: And if Kyler Murray comes in and wins the job

453
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 1: over Quinn, you weres great. If he doesn't, you have

454
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: bet you can jettison him and you're paying Quentin you

455
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: were still a second or a fifth round brock perty

456
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: S contract.

457
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 3: You're talking about your apocalypse. You know in a.

458
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: Few years, you're okay. Same thing if you're the Cardinals. Hey,

459
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: if to it doesn't work, we'll move on from him.

460
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 1: We'll get somebody else next year at a big quarterback

461
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: Rich draft in twenty twenty seven. But maybe with a

462
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: sledgehammer running game that we have with Connor and Benson

463
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: coming back, you had a couple of pretty good wide receivers.

464
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: Maybe they can make it work with two a little

465
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: bit more here in a short passing game system. I

466
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: mean really, sometimes just an exchange of problems does wonders

467
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: for you. I don't want to keep working on the

468
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: same problem for four years. If I can't solve a

469
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: problem for four years, guess what, I want to work

470
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: on a new problem. All right, great, and it works out.

471
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: You got a problem, yo, I'll solve it. That's basically

472
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: what you're trying for. I'll trade you for another problem.

473
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: I'll go and i'll decide the degree of problem. If

474
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: there was a problem, yo, I'll trade it. Get a

475
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: new problem, and maybe I'll solve it.

476
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 4: Cause you got McBride, right, who's the number one tight

477
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 4: end in the game.

478
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 3: That's not I'm in the NFL. You can always check

479
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 3: out the hook while your DJ resolves it. No, that's true.

480
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 3: That's true. Revolver is also my favorite Beatles album.

481
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: Remember seeing an interview with Nanilla Ice once where they

482
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: asked them about Hey, did you take that beat from queen?

483
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: And he said no, if you listen to theirs, theirs

484
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 1: goes ding ding ding did ding ding and might be

485
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: goes ding ding ding do d ding ding.

486
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, like one or two notes. No, he had to

487
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 3: pay out. That's not had a four year old xylophone. Yeah,

488
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 3: they made all the money.

489
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 4: And then you know, it's better to ask for forgiveness

490
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 4: than permission, and they just cut the check when the

491
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 4: singles a big hit. But to your point, like, there

492
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 4: are parts of that team that you like in Arizona, right,

493
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 4: Wilson thousand yard receiver. You hope that Harrison Junior gets

494
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 4: to be the player they expected of. McBride's the number one,

495
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 4: Connor whatever he's got left, and McBride and and Benson

496
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 4: in the backfield, and then you have to piece together

497
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 4: the other three or four guys that were there defensively.

498
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 4: You spent your entire draft on the defensive side. And hey,

499
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 4: that was what Gannon was supposed to be good at.

500
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 4: That was what was supposed to work and be better

501
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 4: this year, and instead it was an abject failure from

502
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 4: pillar to post. Yeah, bring it in two. I don't

503
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 4: know how much it solves it. I like the day.

504
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 3: Well, I'm hearing it. I'm just hearing.

505
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: You.

506
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 4: Wish you had hair ending ding with a stripe like

507
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 4: the Gremlin DJ clearly watching some Rockman lovers driving Lamborghini's

508
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 4: hair top down.

509
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 3: Some of my hair can blow him. Uh.

510
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,479
Speaker 1: So with that being the case again, Kyler for tu

511
00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: assaults problems, Uh, talk about problems, talk about problems. Last

512
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: night's game with the Steelers and the Ravens, big swing

513
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 1: of emotions at the end, it looked like each team

514
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: had the game at least a couple of time.

515
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 3: Oh that game was drunk.

516
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 1: I mean really an incredible throw and catch by Isaiah

517
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: likely on the big fourth down play to give him

518
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: a first down. But you want to talk about where

519
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: the epic fail is, right for the Ravens, who seemingly

520
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: every year find a way in a big game to

521
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: absolutely blow chunks. Right, sometimes Lamar Jackson, Sometimes it's not.

522
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes Mark Andrews dropping a ball. But when I look

523
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: at what failed this game, right, Tyler Loot missing the

524
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: forty four yard field goal on the final play of

525
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: the game. Okay, I've said for a long time we

526
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: are in the best era of field goal kickers in

527
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: the NFL. And that is true. However, not all field

528
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: goals are created equal. And this is a guy we

529
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 1: talked to Jason Lockin for you know in Baltimore earlier

530
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: in the show.

531
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 3: It's his first big pressure kick. He's a rookie.

532
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: Yes he's been good, but you trust him to make

533
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: this field goal and he missed it. And it's not

534
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: the fact that well, you trust to me missed it,

535
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: he says. He just says, I mishit it. I didn't

536
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: hit it right. It went wide right. But think about

537
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: this for a second, because this is where the Ravens

538
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: had the epic fail. This is a forty four yard

539
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: field goal in Pittsburgh, one of the most difficult places

540
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: to kick in all of the NFL.

541
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 3: Especially when the pulpe comes to the field.

542
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: I mean, the priest blessed the end of the end

543
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: zone loops kick with no of course, help the Steelers.

544
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 1: They got a priest sitting there, but I mean he

545
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: was throwing his holy water down like where the ball landed.

546
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 3: I'm like, all the.

547
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 4: Way through and through the end zone, and I've never

548
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 4: seen a national broadcast pick up on something like that

549
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 4: fast as they did.

550
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: Got circle back after that in the ball to the

551
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: water on the ground, right. So it's the most difficult

552
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 1: place to kick. You have seen many times over the

553
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: course the past twenty years in the NFL. Guys miss

554
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: big kicks. It's hard, especially now on a Sunday night

555
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: in the cold, in the winter with the mist. This

556
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 1: is a forty four yard field. Not everybody's Cam Little, right,

557
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: not everybody is Cameron Dicker. This is a difficult field goal. Now,

558
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 1: it's a makeable field goal, and you're happy to kick it, but.

559
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 3: You just put that out there, he's gonna kill it.

560
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 3: The Ravens get.

561
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: The first down and they have twelve seconds left and

562
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: a timeout. I get it, if there were less time

563
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: left or they didn't have a timeout, right, How do

564
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: you just run a play where Lamar Jackson goes to

565
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: the middle of the field and you're okay kicking a

566
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: forty four yard field goal. Show me a team that

567
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: settles for a field goal, and I'll show you a

568
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: team that misses it and loses the game. I've seen

569
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: it happen so many times. How do you I'm pretty

570
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: sure you could trust Lamar Jackson to try to get

571
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: you a few more yards either throwing the football or

572
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: running it and not having a twelve second play where

573
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: the time ticks out. You have a time out left,

574
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: get the ball closer.

575
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 3: Right.

576
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: If that passed, a likely was down to the fifteen

577
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: yard line. Okay, yeah, just set it up in the

578
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: middle and you're kicking a thirty two. You're kicking an

579
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: extra point, but it's a forty four yard field goal.

580
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: There's a degree of difficulty there, and you had a

581
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: chance to make a play to go for you just

582
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: had you got the Steelers on roller skates. Now, after

583
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 1: that likely play.

584
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 3: Whatever you want to run. You can. You can run

585
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson on a delayed run. You can run Lamar Jackson,

586
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 3: you can throw the ball, you can do whatever you

587
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 3: want to do. Don't get sacked.

588
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: And I again, I feel pretty confident in that Lamar

589
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: Jackson would find a way to not get sacked on

590
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: that play. Right, It's open for you because you know

591
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers have to find a way to not want

592
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: to give it. You're in a big difficult situation here.

593
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: Do you go after Lamar Jackson, pin your ears back

594
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: to try to get him out of field goal range,

595
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: or you risk that he runs for one hundred yards

596
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: and a touchdown on that play, or do you play

597
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: back going that you don't want Lamar Jackson to beat

598
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: you and you'll give him five more or seven more

599
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 1: yards on a field goal?

600
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 3: Right like that?

601
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: Those are what you can But instead the Ravens decide

602
00:26:58,480 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: we're just going to go to the middle and kick.

603
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: But you did this, Steelers an incredible favor there and

604
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 1: of course Loop misses the field goal, Like that's a

605
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 1: big epic fail. And I know that people talk about

606
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: wanting John Harball fired at the end of the season.

607
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 1: We talked about it a few months ago. Hey, if

608
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 1: the Ravens don't make it to the playoffs, they're gonna

609
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: be looking for a new head coach in the Eventually,

610
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be one of those Hey we're going

611
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: to fire in the day after, but it's going to

612
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 1: be a meeting of the minds. Can we go forward

613
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 1: with John Harbaugh as our head coach? And the answer

614
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: is gonna be no, because Lamar g You can't waste

615
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: the rest of Lamar Jackson's career knowing that this is

616
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 1: as far as you've gotten with him, and whatever reason,

617
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 1: you can't get any further. And the one common person

618
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 1: through all of this besides Lamar is John Harbaugh. And

619
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: that's a big epic fail to not say we have

620
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 1: twelve seconds, we can make a play, we can throw

621
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: a quick out, we can do it. Because you know what,

622
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: with that field goal that he missed, another eight yards

623
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: is it good? Might be good? Right, because it just

624
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: went by you went by the upright another five or

625
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 1: seven yards. That could be a good field goal. Make

626
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: it as easy as you can on your kicker. But

627
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: instead you decide, no, where We're okay kicking a forty

628
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: four yard field goal. Everything the Steelers wanted you did

629
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: for them. And that's a huge feel. And that's if

630
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: you want to fire harball for that. Okay, I could

631
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: see Ah.

632
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 4: We talk about how this game just started becoming this

633
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 4: wide open let's air it out and misstackles and guys

634
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 4: falling first stutter step moves and falling down and doing

635
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 4: yoga poses and whatever else. Derrick Henry touched the ball

636
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 4: five times in the second half. He had one hundred

637
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 4: and twelve rushing yards in the first half. Yeah, five

638
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 4: carries in the second half for fourteen yards and doesn't

639
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 4: see the ball there. And you can say Okay, you

640
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 4: don't want to botched, hand up whatever, but again, go

641
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 4: to a modified push push.

642
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 3: You saw the Steelers execute it.

643
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 4: Now, they didn't execute very well in their first red

644
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 4: zone opportunity of the game, but here you go. This

645
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 4: was opt to stats sixty thousand field goal attempts in

646
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 4: NFL history. Okay, Tyler Loops miss on Sunday night, the

647
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 4: only one of those attempts that came as time expired

648
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter in the final week, with both

649
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 4: teams playoff hopes resting on the result of that kick.

650
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 4: It was so bad that I started seeing Billy Kundiff reference.

651
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, he was trending Norwood pictures. Billy started with

652
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:10,719
Speaker 3: trending he was trending from.

653
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 4: But think about this run with and people could say

654
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 4: the record with Lamar Jackson, the Plaffs you mentioned, we got,

655
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 4: we had this, We got the Mark Andrews, you got

656
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 4: Zave Flowers dived towards the end zone, getting the ball

657
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 4: knocked out at the one by the Chiefs, Like you've

658
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 4: had just the wildest convergence of circumstances. Means you got

659
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 4: to play cleaner football the rest of the way. Yeah,

660
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 4: don't leave it to the one play felling you. But

661
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 4: you want to talk about a run of bad luck.

662
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 4: It's like, hey, hey we got to the crossroads. You're

663
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 4: gonna have great success. Fifty ninth minute of all these games.

00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 3: whole other you know, I mean, I mean, okay, I

777
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 3: saw some plus ten thousands.

778
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: But okay, maybeybe that was it a different sports book or

779
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: a different you know, I'm looking at it right here.

780
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: So the Spurs in the West and the Pistons in

781
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: the East. Spurs because Wenby was going to become the

782
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: best player in the game at some point.

783
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 3: He is.

784
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: He just has to stay healthy. And the Pistons, they

785
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: were on the cusp last year. That's a weird year

786
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,720
Speaker 1: in the East. This year, Yes, the Celtics are playing

787
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: better than expected without Jason Tatum. But okay, but all

788
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: the powers. Look, the Pacers are no good. The Cleveland

789
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: Cavaliers aren't the team you thought they were going to be.

790
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 1: The Magic are nice. The Knicks are the favorites overall

791
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: because of how far they went last year, the team

792
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: they brought back this year. But the Pistons showed you tonight. Look,

793
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: and again it's a game in January where the Knicks. Look,

794
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: the Knicks already won a title. So I'm okay with it.

795
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: I mean I watched it, confetti. I don't know why

796
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: we're still playing basketball, but okay, to a new season. But

797
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: this Pistons team, you saw them. They just ran up

798
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 1: and down the floor on the Knicks there deeper Ivy

799
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 1: is coming off the bench. He had a big game tonight.

800
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: He's still not all the way back to where he is.

801
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: This is a really good team. They were really good

802
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: last year. They need they maybe needed that playoff loss

803
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: to New York to understand, Okay, you lose before you

804
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: can win.

805
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 3: Sometimes teams need that. But they are now out and.

806
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: To be fair, are they treating the regular season much

807
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 1: more seriously than other teams are? Yeah, because the Knicks

808
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: are doing things like, oh, Karl Anthony Towns, you have

809
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: the sniffles, You're not gonna play right, because that's what

810
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 1: happened last year. Hey, Craig cat Kat's gonna say, nobody

811
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,919
Speaker 1: is taking the regular season as seriously as let's get

812
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: that one seed home court advantage all the way through.

813
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: But the Pistons are young, don't know any better, and

814
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: this is how they're playing, and they're playing great, and

815
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 1: I have no doubt they'll be the number one seed

816
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: in the East. When you're young and you're going for

817
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: it and you're happy, you're playing to the level you

818
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: should be playing at. You guys aren't playing too many minutes. Yeah,

819
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: go for it, go get I get it. So there

820
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: is a little bit of well, okay, the Pistons are

821
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: treating the regular season a little bit more seriously than

822
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: other teams are. But they are absolutely legit. I thought it

823
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 1: was a hot start. It was xyz. I don't believe

824
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: in Kate Cunning. This is a team that is really deep.

825
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: They made a couple of very subtle moves in the

826
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: offseason that made them even better. They're absolutely legit. And

827
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: maybe today was an Eastern Conference final preview, but the

828
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: Pistons have arrived. Like this new era of the Pistons

829
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 1: being an Eastern Conference power, the era of good feeling

830
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: is in Detroit for the Pistons.

831
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 3: It may be leaving for the Lions, but it's now.

832
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 1: But for the Pistons, that era of good feeling is

833
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: it Detroit basketball?

834
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 3: Like that's back now. It's conservation of energy. It's back.

835
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 4: It's got to flow from one place or another. We

836
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 4: don't create or lose it. It just it doesn't dissipate,

837
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 4: it just moves to another force. Yeah, Cunningham nearly twenty

838
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 4: seven points per game. When we look at the average age,

839
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 4: they are the thirteenth youngest team on average twenty five

840
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 4: years and a month for their starting lineup, whereby the

841
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 4: Knicks we're at twenty six. So they are at twenty

842
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 4: seven point two is their average age of starter. So, yeah,

843
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 4: you have a little bit of a sense of urgency,

844
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 4: whereas you got to manage to the eighty two man.

845
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 4: To your point about Kat who defensively he ain't giving

846
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,720
Speaker 4: you much sometimes anyway that you need to be careful

847
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 4: like he certainly couldn't do what Tom Tibodhau wanted. And

848
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 4: it's a new world order, but you don't have a

849
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 4: very deep bench, like it's still something you're working through

850
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 4: to where you want it and have fewer tax minutes

851
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 4: and on back to back nights you're gonna dip out

852
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 4: for the Pistons, still running deep, still running with a

853
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 4: deep reservoir of players. So thirty three to one your spurs,

854
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,399
Speaker 4: as I look it up, sixty six to one at

855
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 4: one book, so we'll split the difference.

856
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 3: But yeah, almost put the Yeah, we'll get that. We'll

857
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 3: get there for you. But I mean, look, but that's

858
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 3: the thing is that this is this is.

859
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: A really weird year in the NBA, because all right,

860
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 1: we thought the thunder were gonna roll, not Thunder having problems.

861
00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 3: Now Thunder's got problems. Mud dusted off of Thunder roll

862
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 3: and DJ like Garth Brooks told us in the nineties.

863
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 3: So it's a really weird year.

864
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: Not that it's wide open, but all the teams that

865
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: you think are gonna be the ones to rise up.

866
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, they got a few issues.

867
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: Right. It's it's kind of like the unpredictable season we've

868
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: had in college football, but in the East with the Pistons,

869
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: I mean that when you are young and you can

870
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: come at another team in waves like you're gonna win

871
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,280
Speaker 1: games just because of that, right. They kind of remind

872
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: me of where the Tea Wolves were a couple of

873
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: years ago, when you thought, well, here there are at

874
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: their great defense, make a big run of the conference finals.

875
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: And then now you know Anthony Edwards and Chris Finch

876
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: they can't stay in the same huddle together. Uh, you know,

877
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave the floor when you're taking me out

878
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,720
Speaker 1: of the game, like, obviously they've turned out to have issues.

879
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 1: But that's kind of where the Pistons are now. They're

880
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: at that point where I thought.

881
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 3: The Wolves were a couple of years ago, where where.

882
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: I thought we're at the beginning of the Minnesota Oklahoma

883
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: City era in the Western Conference, and that's not there anymore.

884
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Edward shouldn't have called him an angry elf.

885
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 4: As soon as he did. Hell went to hell.

886
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 3: One more time. I got homes in Los Angeles, in Paris,

887
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 3: in Italy one more time.

888
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, you run five, had more women in the

889
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 1: last month that you've had in your whole life.

890
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 6: Call me elf one more time, helf. Yeah, all of

891
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 6: that to say, you gotta be healthy in April.

892
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 4: That's all that matters. Sure, like the eighty two games

893
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 4: winning and boat racing teams. It's nice on a Monday night,

894
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter. Show me you're starting five ready to

895
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 4: go come April. Problem is peaches too vulnerable. That's too vulnerable.

896
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 4: True can have it, can have? How about asparagus? And

897
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 4: they feel self conscious because of how Coming.

898
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: Up next we get back into not one, but two

899
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: big stories in the NFL. One head coach five today

900
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 1: was sad about, and one wasn't fired that I'm mad about.
