00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: year's college football season. Now gonna hang out with you.

15
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,319
Speaker 1: It doesn't get any better than this. Is the best

16
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: way to start a Sunday, even better than London games.

17
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: Me you hanging out.

18
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 3: I love it.

19
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 2: You know what, Obviously people may be blurry eyed right

20
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 2: now and they find out that USC stays unbeaten late

21
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: last night on the East Coast forty three forty one

22
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: triple overtime over hours. Okay, that's a biggie, But how

23
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: come and tell me what's wrong with me? How come?

24
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: The first thing I look for is what did Colorado do?

25
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: That's what Deon Sanders has done to me. The first

26
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: thing I do is say, hey, did Colorado win? And

27
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 2: they did? They beat Arizona State by a hare twenty

28
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 2: seven to twenty four with a field goal with twelve

29
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: seconds to go.

30
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, because a sensation has been created. I mean, the

31
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: fact is I opened this morning, Twitter X whatever we're

32
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: calling it. One of the first things I see is

33
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: Shader Sanders celebrating in front of the Arizona State fans

34
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: and people polarized on whether or not that's the acceptable

35
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: behavior when you barely beat a bad football team, and

36
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: it's like, do you not know the identity of what

37
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: Colorado is going to be? And I don't know if

38
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: we lost?

39
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 3: Everybody?

40
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: Do you got me?

41
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 3: There?

42
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: I'm there, I hear you.

43
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 3: Right now, look at the glory of this, OK, go ahead.

44
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: All I want to do is this. I mean, we're

45
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: talking about Deon Sanders what he's created right now, and

46
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: there's no doubt in my mind he has and I

47
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: think it's a great thing for college football, and I

48
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: think he's good. I have people downgridding, the guys in

49
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: egomaniac and there's all this the clicks. Nah, he's good.

50
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: I see what he has done for these kids. I

51
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: see what he's done for women. You know, really, he's

52
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: telling these guys on his team, this is the way

53
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: you treat a woman. I think everything top to bottom.

54
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 2: He is a wonderful man, he really is. And I

55
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 2: remember when he played for the Cincinnati Reds. He's a

56
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 2: good guy. He just like the pie piper of college football.

57
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: That's what he is.

58
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: Well, and at some point this identity is captivating, and

59
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: that's the biggest part of this. To your points, let's

60
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: be real here. Colorado surpassed what their expected win total

61
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: was last night with a win yesterday with a win, right,

62
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: and sure it was over a bad football team, but

63
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: the expectation was that Colorado would be a bad football team.

64
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: They're not. And what you have now is a pretty

65
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: good football team and a cultural phenomenon. And you can

66
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: bind those two things, you've got something different. You know,

67
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: it's it's going to continue to be a story every

68
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: single week because people want to know what Dion's going

69
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: to do, what Dion's going to say, how Deon's going

70
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: to react, and then through the course the course of that,

71
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: people are going to be paying more and more attention

72
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: to the athletes that are playing for it. This is

73
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: a win win, frankly, if it gets eyeballs, if he

74
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: gets attention, it's a win in my mind.

75
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 2: No doubt about that. You talk about number one, who's

76
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: going to be number one? And certainly I think that

77
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: people were kind of scratching ahead about Georgia. Are they

78
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: really number one? They had a look, they were double

79
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: digit deficits in the games that they played against South

80
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: Carolina and Auburn. You know, I live in the Great State,

81
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: the Great Commonwealth that is of Kentucky. I'm thinking maybe

82
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: maybe there's a chance to wildcats a Kentucky could take Georgia.

83
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, I mean Georgia came out of the gate.

84
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: It was unbelievable, thirty three fourteen. Kentucky was thrashed last night.

85
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: There really were. And maybe it's about them like a

86
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: wake up call. I mean, South Carolina and Auburn not

87
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: great football teams, and Georgia basically is a defending champ

88
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: two times and now they come out there with people

89
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: questions in their mind, should they be number one? Boom

90
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: they come out there and they roll over Kentucky.

91
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: Now, I think the questions coming in were fair because

92
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: they hadn't put four quarters together, and because Auburn did

93
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: run the ball on them, and because a week ago

94
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: we saw who I'm now nicknaming sweet Baby Ray Davis

95
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: go off two hundred and eighty yards a week ago

96
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: for Kentucky running. So like, remember when we were kids

97
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: and in math you had to do the work. You

98
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: couldn't just write the answer, you had to show the

99
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: process of how you got there. I understand the process

100
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: of how we get to Well. Georgia doesn't look like

101
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: the number one team in the country until last night.

102
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: And last night was the exact reminder of the best

103
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: of what Georgia can be. I mean, they're more talented,

104
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: they're better coach, they're deeper, they can beat you a

105
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: million different ways, and they have a couple of the

106
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: best players in the country. So it's not rocket science

107
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: that they would be sitting where they are. We just

108
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: hadn't seen it yet, right, So when we're all sitting

109
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: here waiting saying, my god, just put it together, Georgia, Okay,

110
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: they did. They answered that question. Let's see if they

111
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: can continue to do that throughout the course of the year.

112
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 1: But frankly, I'm stunned that it took this long to

113
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: get the best of Georgia. I'm glad we got the

114
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: best of Georgia. But realistically, if you're Kentucky, you felt

115
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: like you were coming into this game and maybe you

116
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: had a fighter's chance, and you were reminded there was

117
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: a glorious difference between being Georgia and being Kentucky. Still

118
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: in the football room, yeah, in.

119
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: The football world, there you go. Not that skiple up

120
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: on football Day AGOA let's talk about maybe I guess

121
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: you could call them maybe America's team. I don't know,

122
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 2: tenth rank, Notre Dame. You know, if it wasn't for

123
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: that coach, you can't count to eleven. He had ten

124
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 2: guys on the field against Ohio State several weeks ago

125
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: and they lose seventeen fourteen. That would have been a

126
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 2: huge win, huge win for the fighting Irish. Then they

127
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: come back they beat Duke, you know, a gutsy win

128
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: twenty one to fourteen. But yesterday last night in Louisville,

129
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: thirty three twenty losing to Louisville. Louisville now six to

130
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 2: zero in year one. Over the guy who brought them back.

131
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 2: He's going to bring up back the fame. Jeff Brom.

132
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 2: He's back there right now, and what a turnaround. He

133
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 2: could very well be Coach of the Year.

134
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,239
Speaker 1: This is also one of those great moments where Jeff

135
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: Brom goes to a place that he loves and it

136
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: feels like it's a natural fit. Right Like that's we

137
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: talked about Dion's identity earlier. Jeff Brom knows the identity

138
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: of Louisville football. And frankly, three straight weeks we've sat

139
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: here and we have gone into primetime watching Notre Dame.

140
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: The last two weeks, the games were very close. It

141
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: was tight for Notre Dame. This is a season you

142
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,679
Speaker 1: went in knowing that you couldn't take a big loss

143
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: to Louisville. You couldn't take a loss if you're Notre

144
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: Dame at this point and you get run out of

145
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: the building. Sam Hartman was just wildly inefficient, too many

146
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: turnovers throughout the course of this game. I was a

147
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: little stunned to see that Notre Dame didn't look like

148
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: they were cleaner in this one, and Louisville came in

149
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: and said, hey, we're undefeated, but we're also, by the way,

150
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: really good. We can score on anybody. And I'm sitting

151
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: here dumbfound it because all I hear and all I

152
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: know is that Notre Dame's supposed to be able to

153
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: run the ball, and when they really needed to last night,

154
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: they couldn't do it for anything. So I'm a little

155
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: surprised to see Notre Dame season go up in flames

156
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: that way, because that's right, it's kiss of death.

157
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 2: They're done, Yeah, they really are. I'll tell you who's

158
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 2: not done is Oklahoma right now? Really and surely they

159
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 2: had the Red River rivalry yesterday. And if you look

160
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 2: at what happened in the second year coach Brett Venables.

161
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: Last year, they had wins over Oklahoma State, they had

162
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 2: wins over Kansas. Both those teams were sub five hundred

163
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 2: a year ago. He needed to prove something. They were

164
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 2: up five and zero this year and they come up

165
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 2: to number twelve in the rankings and go against number

166
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: three Texas a huge win thirty four to thirty in

167
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 2: Dallas yes day in the Cotton Bowl, And the way

168
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: it ended was unbelievable. Dylan Gabriel a game winning drive

169
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 2: for the as soon as right now, in about a

170
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: minute fifteenth to go. And truly you could say, maybe,

171
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: maybe if Gabriel wasn't injured a year ago, they would

172
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: have beaten Texas last year. But a great turnaround for

173
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 2: a great program which is Oklahoma.

174
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think there was sneaky pressure on Oklahoma

175
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: coming into this year because, as you mentioned, venables underperformed

176
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: a little bit last year. We all know they're going

177
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: to the SEC. It felt like you had to go

178
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: into the SEC with a little bit of momentum. I

179
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: was really curious what this game would look like, and

180
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: to your point, I thought it was over. I mean,

181
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: Burt Auburn. The only thing better than Bert's hair the

182
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: kicker for Texas is a kick he made with about

183
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: a minute and a half to go. I was sitting

184
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: there with a bunch of buddies. We were watching a

185
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: bunch of college football. Everybody was chanting his name in

186
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: this area, and I was like, Okay, all right, let's

187
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: see Bert do it. And he did and then all

188
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: of a sudden, with no timeouts. I mean, really, the

189
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: most important, pressive part of what Dylan Gabriel did in

190
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: that last drive is no timeouts, went down the field,

191
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: and I just I'm gonna keep saying this till I'm

192
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: blue in the face. This is a reminder of how

193
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: good the Chancefer Portal can be for college football because

194
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel is somebody that's played a lot of football, right,

195
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: He's seen a lot of football, and you can tell

196
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: at the end like quarterbacks that have been through it

197
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: are performing at a high level. And I just I

198
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: loved watching that for Dylan Gabriel going all the way

199
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,239
Speaker 1: down the field getting that game winning touchdown. Heartbreaking for Texas.

200
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: We can now say Texas is back to breaking hearts

201
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: and not being great. But also at the same time,

202
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: I'm not eliminating Texas from this conversation. They're gonna get

203
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 1: a chance to run the rest of all the way

204
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: through this season. They'll get a chance to get the

205
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,599
Speaker 1: Big Twelve championship game. They could get the chance in

206
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: Oklahoma again. And this is what the Committee loves always

207
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: call a quality loss, right Like this is gonna be

208
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: one of those things where Texas is still in it.

209
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right about that. You know, people talk about

210
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 2: USC and they talk about, you know, the Achilles Shield

211
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: for that team is their defensive lot thereof I don't care.

212
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 2: I want to see points. I'm one of those guys

213
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 2: I love when they run it up, and they did yesterday.

214
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 2: It's unbelieved that a triple overtime game USC did. Caleb Williams,

215
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 2: he rushes for three touchdowns, then he ran a two

216
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 2: point conversion in the third overtime nine rank USC Scott Arizona.

217
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 2: And that really in the last attempt in the forty

218
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 2: three to forty one victory late Saturday night, early Sunday

219
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 2: morning on the East Coast. And look, he's the defending

220
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 2: Heisman winner. He's probably gonna win it again. And again

221
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 2: they talk about the lack of defense. So what I'll

222
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: score them and that's what they're doing. It's an unbelievable program.

223
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 2: What the turnaround over there for us see what they've

224
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 2: done as tremendous it really is.

225
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: I would be all in on talking about the lack

226
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: of defense if we wanted to talk about the fatal

227
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: flaws for most of the teams in the top ten,

228
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: like this is not our usual college football year where

229
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: somebody's dominant and you're trying to figure out how are

230
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: they going to compete with that team? Right, Like, we

231
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: have seen fatal false other than Michigan, but Michigan really

232
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: hasn't played anybody other than Michigan. I think we've seen

233
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: weakness from basically every team at some point this season.

234
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: Is there defensive issue in the playoffs, maybe, but for

235
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: right now, when you have clearly the best quarterback in

236
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 1: college football, you have clearly the best player, Like, we

237
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: don't need to make this complicated. Catle Williams is the

238
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: best player in college football and should win the Heisman again, Like,

239
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a hot take. What's funny to

240
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: me is that twice this year already, USC has fallen

241
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: in the rankings on the rankings after they've struggled against

242
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: a division or a conference opponent. What's interesting to me

243
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: to see is how are they going to react to

244
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,479
Speaker 1: this one? Because I think there's a grace and forgiveness

245
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: given to for example, Georgia is struggling to beat Auburn

246
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: because there's benefit of the doubt given to Georgia. That

247
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: same benefit of the doubt has to come at some

248
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: point to the fact that USC's finding a way to

249
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: win these games. And they can score on absolutely anybody

250
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: from anywhere you.

251
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 2: Exactly right now, Now tell me if I'm wrong, big Les. Look,

252
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,599
Speaker 2: I'm not the smartest guy in the world. Maybe the

253
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: dumbest guy. Really. You know, I'm seeing myself right now

254
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 2: enjoying college football, maybe more so than the NFL. And now, look,

255
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: I've always liked college football, but I think the games

256
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 2: obviously more meaningful, I think, and it wasn't a great

257
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 2: slate yesterday. But when I go back and look with

258
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 2: they're putting gun Thursday night on NFL, I mean, I'd

259
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 2: rather watch a rerun movie. It's disgusting Chicago, Washington. I mean,

260
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 2: who's picking these games on Thursday night for Amazon? And

261
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 2: Al Michaels must be throwing up his halftime meal. Really,

262
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 2: it's ridiculous. But look, I know yesterday's games, it wasn't

263
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 2: a great day for college football, but the games that

264
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 2: were on the Red River rivalry was great. I mean

265
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: even I turned on the Ohio State Maryland. This score

266
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 2: was seventeen all and then Ohio State pulls away thirty

267
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 2: seven to seventeen some turnovers from Maryland. So you know,

268
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 2: maybe I'm wrong, but I think the college football thing

269
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 2: to me. If I had a choice and someone said, look,

270
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 2: you could only watch one day of the week, I

271
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 2: think I might go to Saturday.

272
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: Here's the interesting thing. Did you mentioned about that? Because

273
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: you know, I've split so much of my time between

274
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: Connecticut and Nashville and lived in Nashville for twenty plus years, right,

275
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: and when I'm up in Connecticut and I sit down

276
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: to watch college football, there's just not a viber and

277
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: energy next to it because, like so many people that

278
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: live in that area just don't care. So you'll walk

279
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: into it. I did a couple of weeks ago, walked

280
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: into a sports bar on a sad Saturday just to

281
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 1: watch a bunch of games, to grab a bite to eat.

282
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: Figured it was a good atmosphere to be and I

283
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: walked in and there might have been ten people in there.

284
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: I walked in yesterday to a house of Buddies and

285
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: there were probably forty people sitting in there, all just

286
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: watching football, didn't matter what the game is. Between you know,

287
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: gambling and between conference affiliations and between favorite teams, there's

288
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: a there's a sense of community around college football. But

289
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: I'll be the first to admit I may have experienced

290
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: more of it because I was back in a college

291
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: football area, Like the South loves college football, and it

292
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter who's playing. It's more about everybody hanging

293
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: out and who's grilling the stakes, and who's eating what,

294
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: and what you're doing together as a group of buddies

295
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: watching college football. That made it special. But I thought

296
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: yesterday was a just a great game, a day of

297
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: game after game after game that felt like it meant

298
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: something all the way into the fourth quarter. Of the

299
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: NFL is doing the opposite. Like the NFL's given me

300
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: blowouts that are close in the witching hour, college football

301
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: is giving me two and a half hours of a

302
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: good game that may separate at the very end.

303
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know if it bugs me on college football.

304
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 2: So you'll have back to back or games simultaneously, and

305
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: I don't know which one to watch, and I'm talking

306
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: to buddies of mine. They're telling me they got three

307
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 2: TVs and ours. I mean, it's ridiculous. I mean, come on,

308
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 2: you watch one game with one TV on that' shit.

309
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 2: But that's what they do. I mean, you go to

310
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 2: a sports bar a watch one game.

311
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: You can't one TV?

312
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: Well, I got more on one TV in my house,

313
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 2: But I watched one game on one TV. That's what

314
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 2: I do. I'll flip back and forth a little bit,

315
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 2: but I just can't do I want to concentrate on one.

316
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: You know.

317
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 2: Look if I go to a sports bar and they

318
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 2: got like thirty five televisions, you know, and the sound

319
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 2: is down and everybody's screaming, so I can't watch a

320
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 2: game there. I just don't do that. I don't do it.

321
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a four TV guy on Saturdays. I'm a

322
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: four TV really, you know. Yeah, you gotta have four

323
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: TV so you can bounce back and forth and you know,

324
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 1: if you've got it, especially if you're using it on

325
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: a PlayStation or any sort of device like that, you

326
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: can just use your controller to go side and side side,

327
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: and it's moving the sound from thing to things. So

328
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: like it. Fully, I'm I'm all over the place on Saturday,

329
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: Like I know, I'm gonna try.

330
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it a Jason fitzwks next week, I'm

00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: mean I will, I'll see if I could do it.

334
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 2: I'm not that smart. I'm tired. I can't concentrate. Really,

335
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 2: I wouldn't look. It takes me a half hour to

336
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 2: find out what channel the games are on. Really, I mean,

337
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 2: so I got some problems. Really, I got issues. I

338
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: got more issues in the magazine stand. Really, I got issues.

Speaker 2: I tell you, what are you gonna do? There you go?

Speaker 4: We're going to dive into what goes on in the

371
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 4: dugout and behind the scenes in.

372
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball, cars, wind whatever else we want to

373
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 2: talk about. Yeah, well, there are no boundaries, right. Listen

374
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:50,080

381
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 2: Not a good time to meet this team that's coming

382
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 2: up next on Foxlive from the ti Raq dot com studios.

383
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 2: He's Jason Fitzim Andy Furman, and we got Fox Football

384
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 2: Sunday on Fox Sports Radio, and of course let's go

385
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: back to Thursday if we can. We mentioned how bad

386
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 2: the game was, but honestly, I felt a little bit

387
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 2: of relief because this Justin Fields is getting killed by

388
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 2: the media, by the fans, everybody else, and maybe rightfully so,

389
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 2: because when a team loses, they point the finger at

390
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 2: the quarterback end of the coach. But the Bears did

391
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 2: beat the Washington Commander's forty twenty and basically it was

392
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 2: the end of a fourteen game losing Street. The last

393
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: time the Bears won a game October twenty fourth, twenty

394
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 2: twenty two. So they come back, they win, and djmore

395
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 2: and Justin Fields got the job done. And maybe it

396
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 2: was the guards of Dick Buckis he passed on that

397
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 2: day and the game was in fact together in Washington.

398
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: But still I think maybe number fifty one had something

399
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 2: to do with the Bears win.

400
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 3: I don't know.

401
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 2: I believe in that kind of stuff.

402
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: Well, you know, you've got those magical moments. That's why

403
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: sometimes sports are better than movies, right, Like, who needs

404
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: reality TV? The original reality TV is just watching sports, right,

405
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: So it feels like those things always align. But I'm

406
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: with you in the sense that for Chicago there's a

407
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: sigh of relief. And I think the most interesting thing

408
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 1: is what it looks like after what we now call

409
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: the mini by right, Like, you get that little extra

410
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: time off, but you got the monkey off your back

411
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: and you got the win. What does this team look

412
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: like now? Is there sort of a collective side where

413
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: they can play loose and they can play fun and

414
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: they can keep this going. I don't know. But what

415
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: we do know is it's two straight games where Justin

416
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: Fields has played well. It's two straight games where it

417
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: looks like offensively they've turned a corner. So if you're Chicago,

418
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: if you're a Bears fan right now, maybe you have

419
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: a little bit of hope. You got to get figured

420
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: out quickly, because I think everybody's so busy salivating over

421
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: can we get Caleb Williams next year? But right now,

422
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: your question shouldn't be here. We're doing a full organizational reset.

423
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: The question is do we actually have the guys here

424
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: that can win as football games? And that's more important

425
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: figure out today.

426
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 2: I think the biggest question coming away from that game

427
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 2: right now is a I thought Washington was a better team,

428
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 2: but they lost a number two after they started two

429
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 2: and Oh the Commanders, Eric b Enemy was being praised

430
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: as the offensive coordinator of the year. What does this

431
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 2: do for his coaching resume? This guy is like begging

432
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 2: for a head coaching job, can't seem to get it.

433
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 2: And now what happens with this Washington offense? And look,

434
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: I understand that he doesn't have much to work with,

435
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 2: but still in all, the two and OHO start and

436
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 2: they didn't really play anybody. They played at Arizona and Den

437
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 2: for the first two games. But still I don't think

438
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 2: this does anything good for his resume.

439
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I would push back a little bit that

440
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: they don't have great things for him to work with,

441
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: because I'm not sure Sam Howe is going to be

442
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: a golden god. But when you look at the weapons

443
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: they have there, there is some expectation that they got

444
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: receivers they can play, they got running backs that they

445
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 1: are good. They've got skilled position players that I think

446
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: we all expected the Enemy to make interesting. So I

447
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: think you're right one hundred percent that the success will

448
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: be overvalued and the failure will be overvalued if either

449
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: happens for Eric the Enemy with Washington, and realistically, everything

450
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 1: that the commanders are doing right now is sort of

451
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: an audition for what they're going to look like next

452
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: year with new ownership. So I'm curious and new coaches,

453
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: entire staff, right yeah, like what does this staff look like?

454
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: So is Ron Rivera still there next year? Is Eric

455
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: the Enemy the future head coach? Or are they doing

456
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: a full reset? Like there's just this thing can go

457
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: off the rails quickly for Washington.

458
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 2: Right now, I mentioned coming up to the segment, not

459
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 2: a good time to meet this team. I'm talking about

460
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 2: this Giants Dolphins game. Giants are coming off at twenty

461
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 2: four to three home loss to Seattle. The Dolphins got

462
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 2: punked in Buffalo forty eight to twenty. So right now

463
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 2: you got the Giants, you know, back one foot in

464
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 2: the grave. The Dolphins kind of can't wait, probably get

465
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 2: back on the ball field. Miami got some injuries to

466
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 2: the safety position. But Daniel Jones, I mean, they've invested

467
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 2: so much money in this guy, and I don't think

468
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 2: it's a great investment.

469
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: And they're stuck at this point. You know, the hardest

470
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: part is if you want to compete against a team

471
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: like the Dolphins, you better be able to control the

472
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, You better be able to win time

473
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: of possession. You got to be able to keep that

474
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: offense off the field. Nobody other than the Bills apparently

475
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: are going to be able to slow down that offense

476
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: most of the time, so you got to keep them

477
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: off the field. I don't know how the Giants sustained

478
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: drives and as much as we were just talking about,

479
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: you know, the shine on Eric b Enemy, Let's be

480
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: real here, the shine on and Brian Dabole has shifted

481
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: quickly and this is just what happens in the NFL.

482
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: I think the Giants exceeded expectations last year. And if

483
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: you inject truth, seer them into the veins of everybody

484
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: that watched them last year, I think you'd hear a

485
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: lot of people say, yeah, they probably weren't as good

486
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: as we thought, and you could tell that, but it

487
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: was such a good story. Nobody wanted to see that.

488
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 1: The problem with that is when you exceed expectations one year,

489
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 1: if all you do the next year is regress back

490
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: to where you should be as a team, you're suddenly

491
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: viewed as an epic failure. And that's exactly what's happening here.

492
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: I mean, they were in a weird situation with Daniel Jones.

493
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: What do you do with that contract? How do you

494
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: give yourself more time? How do you pay a contract

495
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 1: that it seems like it could, at least long term,

496
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: be reasonable. It was only a few months ago Giants

497
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: fans were screaming at me that they'd figured it out

498
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: because they had their quarterback and their running back were

499
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: both going to be back this year, and it meant

500
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: they could run it back. And now all of a sudden,

501
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: what we're watching is they're running into a wall and

502
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: none of it looks good, and it looks more like

503
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: what we expected the Giants to look like last year.

504
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: So I think part of it is who they are

505
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: this year, but part of it's also that they looked

506
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: so good last year. Unexplicably at times, inexplicably at times.

507
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: This is what you end up with.

508
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 2: Jason fitz I want to let you know that I

509
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 2: listened to you because you mentioned early on today that

510
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 2: the NFL is nothing more than a great soap opera. Okay,

511
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 2: and really to prove your point, I mean, two weeks ago,

512
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 2: what was it, Miami goes over to Denver, the host Denver.

513
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 2: Actually they've beat seventy to twenty, puts seventy up on

514
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 2: the board. Last week they lose forty eight twenty at Buffalo,

515
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 2: and I think I after putting up seven, everybody you

516
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 2: know put their hands up saying, all right, it's Miami

517
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 2: this year. It's their team. They going through the super Bowl,

518
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, now they're pushed back

519
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 2: a little bit with Buffalo. So you just don't know

520
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 2: what to get two week, which makes the league really good.

521
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 2: The questions are so many that you can't answer, and

522
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,239
Speaker 2: you can't figure it out. The gamblers can't figure it out.

523
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 2: And that's why it's a great game. It really is.

524
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not great for my wallet though, because I'm

525
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: one of those gamblers in there is kicking my butt

526
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: this year.

527
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I just you at Miami over Buffalo.

528
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I went Miami over buffal I was confident

529
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: Miami was better than Buffalo. I thought it was a

530
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: statement like this reminded me of Look, I was a

531
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: fat kid that played dodgeball as a kid, right Like

532
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: you always get out when you're a fat kid that

533
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: played dodgeball. But there are sometimes when you get on

534
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: a little heat, you know, you get on a hot streak,

535
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: and suddenly like you're playing with the other fat kids

536
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: and you think, Okay, I'm pretty good at this dodgeball thing,

537
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you walk into the

538
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: gym class and you're back with the jocks, and all

539
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden, bam, you are humbled. That's what feels

540
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: like happened. Like it feels like Miami for a couple

541
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: of weeks was getting there, getting all the good fields,

542
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: and they were beating up on everybody. They walked into

543
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: the gym super confident, and they were reminded that there's

544
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: somebody else in their class that's maybe in better shape,

545
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: that's maybe you know, better condition, maybe better ready to

546
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,239
Speaker 1: handle it, and they just got smacked down because they

547
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: ran their mouth. I mean, it's just it felt like

548
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: that as you watch the game Buffalo, kudos to them.

549
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bills were my preseason Super Bowl pick,

550
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: and I too quickly jumped off that bandwagon for the Dolphins.

551
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: Eye oologize, Buffalo, you deserved better for me. I know.

552
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 2: All I know is this, I want to play you dodgeball,

553
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 2: one on one. That's what I want to do, one

554
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 2: on one.

555
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: Dodge I'm not fat anymore, I'm not fad anymore. I'm

556
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: still not very you know.

557
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 2: But you're a little older than you want as a child,

558
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 2: so maybe you can't move as well.

559
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

560
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,000

625
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 2: Now, let's get back to your Super Bowl team. My friend,

626
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 2: Jason the Bills. They're hosting the Jacks today. The Bills

627
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 2: have outscored their opponents one twenty five to thirty three

628
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: over the last three Because that's unbelievable. Three straight blowout

629
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 2: wins for the Bills over Vegas, Washington, and Miami. What

630
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 2: does it mean? I don't know. But Stefan Diggs had

631
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 2: three touchdowns against the Dolphins last week. Let's see what

632
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 2: your Bills can do. They got to run the football,

633
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 2: they really do. They got to run, run, run.

634
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: I think the hardest part about the Bills is that

635
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: we can't shake what we saw week one because of

636
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: the emotion that was behind it. So I'm gonna ask

637
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 1: everybody to do exactly the opposite. Let's remember week one

638
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: is week one. What have we seen since Week one?

639
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,959
Speaker 1: We've seen a Bills team that looks like they are

640
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: just absolutely lockstep all the way across the board. We've

641
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: seen a Bills team that looks dominant. And I'm not

642
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: gonna take a lot of dominance over beating my beloved

643
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: Raiders or beating Washington, but beating Miami the way they

644
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: did was significant. Getting the amount of pressure that they

645
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: got without Von Miller, who comes back now on a snapcount.

646
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: As you guys heard earlier, you know, you get von

647
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: Miller back into that mix. Also with the pass rush

648
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: that was able to be disruptive against Miami. I mean,

649
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: I think you're right. Fitting to the run is an

650
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: important part of what the Bills need to be able

651
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,360
Speaker 1: to do throughout the course of the season. But right now,

652
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: the way Buffalo is playing everything for them looks effortless,

653
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: and that's a lot of what we expected. If you

654
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: look last year, you know, with Ken Dorsey coming into

655
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator, the biggest knock was that it seemed

656
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: to make Josh Allen back into who he used to

657
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: be a little bit more aggressive with the football, took

658
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: chances he didn't have to take. Some of that mirrored

659
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 1: into Week one. I thought that was the biggest concern.

660
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: Since then, it just feels like we have a different

661
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: version of Josh Allen. We have the Josh Allen we

662
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: expected throughout the course of this He's not taking those risks,

663
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: not taking those chances. We have a defense that has

664
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: disruptors at every possible layer of the defense. I just

665
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: think the Bills are sitting here reminding us all that

666
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: whatever their playoff failures had been in the past don't

667
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: matter right now. They have been a great regular season

668
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: team for years. Like we talked about them like they

669
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: were trash last year. At times they were thirteen and

670
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: three because they didn't get that last game with the

671
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: tragedy that happened. They were thirteen and three last year.

672
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: And that's why as we came into this year, I

673
00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: kept telling everybody, if you think the Jets are going

674
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: to be the the hot team that takes over the division,

675
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: you find in an extra four or five losses out

676
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: of this Bills team. Now we know definitively you aren't.

677
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: Like this still looks like a twelve or thirteen win

678
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: team to.

679
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 2: Me, right, And if I'm the Jets, right, and I

680
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 2: mean if I'm the coaching staff of the Jaguars, I

681
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 2: look at that Jets game against the Bills. What do

682
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: they do? They sacked Josh Allen five times. You got

683
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 2: to get in the face of Josh Allen. I don't

684
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 2: know if the Jags defense could do what the Jets

685
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 2: defense did, but that should be somewhat of the game

686
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 2: plan for the Jags.

687
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, but the Jags have had their own

688
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: issues finding any sort of a sink this year and

689
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: getting in any sort of a rhythm themselves. And if

690
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: you look at the upcomings, I mean, you got the

691
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: Jags this week, the Giants, the Patriots, and then Tampa

692
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: Bay Cincinnati, like there are a bunch of winnable games

693
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: in a row. Like it just feels like the Bills

694
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: are about to rip off a bunch of games.

695
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 3: Now.

696
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: I was equally confident that the Bills would lose last week,

697
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: So let's see what happens. But the Jags are a

698
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: team that I'm still waiting to see take that leap

699
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: that we expected, Like they were supposed to jump from

700
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: being a pretty good team that could win a bad

701
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: division to being a very good team in the AFC.

702
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: That jump has not happened. I mean, they're two and two,

703
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: and at times it has looked just putrid and at

704
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: times it's looked okay. But we have yet to see

705
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: that version of the Jags that we thought we'd see,

706
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: that we saw last year at the end of the season,

707
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: where they were explosive. I've expected more throughout this process

708
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: from Calvin Ridley. I've expected more throughout this process from

709
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, Like from everybody involved on the offensive side

710
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: of the ball. The Jags should be far better.

711
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they got smacked around by the Texans thirty

712
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 2: seven to seventeen. I think there was two weeks ago

713
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 2: that that was a bad loss.

714
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: It really was.

715
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 2: But I still like the Bills this game. I think

716
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 2: the Bill should went by at least ten, maybe double

717
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 2: digits in this game. I really believe that. But here's

718
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 2: a game that I would stay away from if I

719
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 2: was a gambler. Titans at the Colts. He is a toughie.

720
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 2: It really is a physical game for sure. Colts have

721
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 2: won two of their last three. Jonathan Taylor is back

722
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 2: for the Coasts of the running back Coats quarterback Anthony Richardson.

723
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 2: He got to take advantage of that secondary, the Titans secondary.

724
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 2: But Richardson what he needs is protection, keep him up

725
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 2: right and owbviously the Colts could win. I'm surprised with

726
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 2: the Colts, I really am. The Cults have really surprised

727
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 2: me thus far this year. Both these teams are two

728
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 2: and two now.

729
00:30:58,440 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: I think the Colts are one of the biggest and

730
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,719
Speaker 1: pleasant surprises throughout the early course of the season. And

731
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny because I think quickly, you get

732
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: an idea of whether or not you got your guy

733
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: as a coach sometimes and it feels like, much like

734
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: last year Dave All felt like that for the Giants,

735
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: feels like Shane Steichen is doing that for the Colts.

736
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,239
Speaker 1: He's doing a great job finding a way to make

737
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson comfortable quickly. Anthony Richardson has been a little

738
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: bit of a microcosm of who he was in college.

739
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: So far. There's been a couple of games where he's

740
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: been really hot throwing the football, and when he is

741
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: it's hard to beat. There's been a couple of games

742
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: where it just looked like accuracy was an issue, and

743
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: that mirrors who he was at Florida. There were times

744
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: that he'd made plays you couldn't imagine. The weirdest part

745
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: about this matchup to me is that, frankly, if you

746
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: go all the way back to twenty nineteen, the Titans

747
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: have had the Colts number repeatedly. It's I think at

748
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: this point five or six straight games that they've beaten

749
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: The Titans have beaten the Colts. They only have one

750
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: loss in the last seven against them. The Titans have

751
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: been able to figure out the Colts under Mike Vrabel

752
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: since basically twenty nineteen. If you are the Colts and

753
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: you think that this is a year where suddenly you

754
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: can't contend, this is the type of game you can win.

755
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: The Titans are equally jekyled and hide to figure out

756
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: how is it humanly possible that the Titans can look

757
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: so bad one week and so good the next. Like,

758
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: I understand that it was a shell of the Bengals

759
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: last week, but let's be real, it doesn't matter who

760
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: they were playing last week. The Titans looked explosive. The

761
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: Titans looked like everything we thought they would be. Like

762
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: Derrek Henry had a big game, and everybody says, Derek

763
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: Henry's back, Like, I don't know what to make of it.

764
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: That's a touchdown to I mean, and I don't know

765
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: what to make of that that Titans offensive line. But

766
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: I'll tell you the Titans, Jecklin Hyde, if they're up,

767
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: they could win this game big, I have no idea.

768
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: To your point, I have not put a dollar on

769
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: this one. I'm scared, Yes, stay away.

770
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 2: You know it's funny you mentioned the Times, Because if

771
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 2: I'm a game plan, if I'm a coach for an

772
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 2: opposing team, you know they're fairly predictable. You just give

773
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 2: the ball to Derreck Henry. I mean he's got seventy

774
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 2: three rushing attempts thus far this year, the leading rusher

775
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 2: on the team, and you just if you could stop him.

776
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 2: I remember last year when the Bengals did play Tennessee,

777
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 2: they held Henry to thirty eight yards rushing. At what

778
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 2: they do they win the game. Basically, he's their offense

779
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 2: because Tannehill, for some strange reason, can't get the bolt

780
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 2: a de Andre Hopkins. I mean, he's an outstanding receiver,

781
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 2: but they got problem over there with Ryan Tannehill. So

782
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 2: their offense basically is very similar to the Giants with

783
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 2: say Kwan Barkley. You give the bolt to Barkley, he

784
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 2: was like sixty percent of their offense. He doesn't play,

785
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 2: they lose, that's it.

786
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, And with Tannehill, it's so hard because he'll look

787
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: good one week and the next week he'll just look

788
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: around and say, yeah, he's not the guy. And when

789
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: you combine that with a young offensive line that's inconsistent,

790
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: it just it's hard to watch. Sometimes, like when the

791
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: Titans aren't clicking offensively. It is one of the uglier

792
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: offenses to try and watch in the NFL. But I

793
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: think Mike Vrabel is happy being exactly who you said. Like,

794
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: he'd have no problem running the football every single snap

795
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: if it could keep them. He knows his defense is

796
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: gonna be good more often than not, so why not

797
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: mitigate the potential risk of anything offensively? It feels like

798
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: that's been a strategy for a long time for the Titans.

799
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think think the Colts take them this game.

800
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 2: I really do. I like the Colts. You know, I'm

801
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 2: not betting on this one, staying away, but it's a toughie,

802
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 2: you know.

803
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 1: But Yeah, I think I'm gonna pick the time. We're

804
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: gonna go opposite on this one. I'm gonna pick the Titans,

805
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: but not confidently enough to putting the cash on it.

806
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 2: Yes, stay away, keep the money in the pocket.

807
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: There you go.

Speaker 1: Oh? I am so ready. Let's go here.

823
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 2: We got I got a couple of questions for you.

824
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 2: Number one big question for the Cincinnati Bengals all week

825
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 2: long the quarterback Joe Burrow. And the question has been

826
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 2: from fans, media alike, to play or not to play?

827
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 2: He's injured with that CAF it is a chance obviously

828
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 2: getting it worse and obviously not being mobile. Do you

829
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 2: play the guy or do you not play the guy?

830
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 2: That's the question.

831
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't play him. And unfortunately the hardest part

832
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: about that is that when you actually look at what

833
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: should have happened, they should have not played him coming

834
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: into the season, So now what do you do, because

835
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: the argument's going to be, well, you can't dig yourself

836
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,919
Speaker 1: in that kind of hole if you don't play him. Well,

837
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: you already did by playing him when he was a

838
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: shell of himself, And all that's doing is extending how

839
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: long this bought in, this calf issue bothers him, and

840
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: it's extending how many games they lose. I mean, when

841
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: you get beat that way by the Titans, you got

842
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: to ask yourself, looking in the mirror realistically, how many

843
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: of the next three or four games are we going

844
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: to lose if we play him versus if we sit

845
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: in him. I don't think the number on that's drastically different.

846
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: So all you're doing is extending the amount of time

847
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: that you are a shell of yourself as a team.

848
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: They shouldn't have played him in the first place. Now

849
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 1: they're just putting more good money after bad by continuing

850
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: to put him on the field. Sit him down and

851
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: hope that you can dig your way out of this hole.

852
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: But if you continue to play him, he's not gonna

853
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: be good. You're going to continue to lose games, and

854
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: then all you're gonna have is an injured burrow to

855
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: dig you out of that very same hole. So risk

856
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: versus rewards, sit him down to ad.

857
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 2: Just to drop to what you just said. Last week,

858
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 2: they lose twenty eight three to the Tennessee Titans. And

859
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 2: when they were down twenty eight three early or maybe

860
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 2: mid win in the fourth period, and he was still playing.

861
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 2: I don't know why coach Zach tayl left him in

862
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 2: take him out. The only thing you could do is

863
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 2: get injured more. Now he's still in the blow game.

864
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 2: I didn't get it. Question that, And you know they

865
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 2: have the news conferences obviously on Monday and Wednesday, and

866
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 2: Kelsey Conway, who covers the Bengals for the Cincinni Inquirer,

867
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 2: asked coach Taylor, do you think that Joe Burrow may

868
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 2: play this Sunday in Arizona. You know Zach tail comes

869
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 2: bes says that's the foolest question. He humiliated her and

870
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 2: embarrassed And I thought it was a tremendous question. And

871
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 2: I should have been there Monday because I would have

872
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 2: asked Zach Taylor, why is it a stupid question? But

873
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 2: that's not for me right now. I missed that one.

874
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 2: I'll be at the next one, all right, Next question,

875
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 2: Sunday Night, lest Son and Night Travis Kelsey had six

876
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 2: catches against the Jets that matched the number of commercials

877
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 2: he appeared in. All right, now, Taylor Swift was there?

878
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 2: Is that good for the NFL? Or is she using

879
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 2: Kelsey for more fame for herself?

880
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: You've got the wrong who's using who on this? I

881
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: think Kelsey's using Taylor for more fame for himself. I mean,

882
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 1: you mentioned six commercials. Do we not think part of

883
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: that is because he's become a phenomenon, right, Like, I

884
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: don't think it's an accident that we've seen this relationship

885
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: come out at about the same time that we've seen

886
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: just an influx of Kelsey commercials. So I just wonder

887
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: if there's a common business manager somewhere involved in this

888
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: that wants that. I will remind you though, Taylor Swift

889
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 1: by herself has more social media followers then every NFL

890
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: team combined, So she doesn't need the NFL. She is

891
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: by herself already bigger than the NFL. It's why she

892
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: didn't need the Super Bowl, Like the NFL needs her

893
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: way more than she needs them. As weird as that

894
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: is for football fans to hear, tatay is bigger than

895
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: anything the league can do right now, not only in

896
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 1: America but especially globally. So yeah, Taylor doesn't need the

897
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: Only thing I'm trying to figure out out of this

898
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: is what's her endgame? Because I see Kelsey's he's an

899
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: ad superstar now and his profile has taken the next level.

900
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: And why do I feel like we're gonna find out

901
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: he's hosting some crazy TV show or some super Bowl commercials,

902
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 1: Like there's gonna be some sort of back end on

903
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: this for Kelsey. I see his benefit, I see the

904
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: NFL's benefit. I don't think Taylor's getting anything out of this.

905
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 2: Is it fair to say that Travis Kelcey right now

906
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 2: today is the face of the NFL.

907
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: God to a group of people, Yes, I mean that's all. Yeah,

908
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: to to Taylor Swift fans that know nothing about football,

909
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: he is the absolute face of the NFL. Do we think, though, like,

910
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: is there some recency on that? Because I don't know.

911
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: Every time I see Mahomes and Andy Reid do the like,

912
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: tell me about that again while he passed me those

913
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,439
Speaker 1: nugs like that commercial like that just makes me laugh

914
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: so much. I still think Patrick Mahomes is the face

915
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: of the NFL to sports fans, but yeah, to the

916
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: average person just walking around that watches more Bravo than ESPN,

917
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:25,760
Speaker 1: I would say that, yeah, one hundred percent.

918
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 2: Okay, last, but not least, give me some of the

919
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,760
Speaker 2: biggest surprises thus far in the NFL, be a team

920
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:32,879
Speaker 2: or individual.

921
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the Bengals are the biggest surprise in

922
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: the fact that, you know, so many people thought that

923
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: they were in their Super Bowl window and they absolutely

924
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: don't have that opportunity right now. Like the Bengals not

925
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: only are bad, they look even worse than we expected.

926
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised by Sean Baiton, for example, I'm not

927
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: surprised by the Giants. If we're looking for a positive surprise,

928
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: the Seahawks are three and one. I don't think enough

929
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,439
Speaker 1: people are talking about how good they look right now.

930
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, really and truly. You know, he should

931
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 2: have been proud the Coach of the Year list you

932
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 2: instead of durable of the Giants, don't you agree?

933
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 3: Yeah?

934
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: I mean the job, the job he does is just

935
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: always believe in him.

936
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 3: Here we go. Now.

937
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 2: A loss today pushes the Goat out of the playoffs.

Speaker 2: How you doing, JF.

950
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: Look is Bucky still getting tea in London? Because is

951
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: he bringing back tea for everybody?

952
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 3: Like?

953
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: How's this working? Do we get crumpets too?

954
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 2: If he's coming back?

955
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: That's the thing, man, it's nice over there, Like the

956
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: food's not as good, so like he should, I mean,

957
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: London's fine, but the food definitely gets boring after this

958
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: is not a hot take. Biscuits better than crumpets, right, like,

959
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: so we're all in on that.

960
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 2: Here's my question though, And look, it's all about It's

961
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 2: all about the gelt. It's all about the green cabbage.

962
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 2: Is it cheaper for the team Jacksonville to spend the

963
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 2: entire week there with hotel and food or to play

964
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 2: last week, come back and then go back again.

965
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:26,280
Speaker 1: Oh, it's it's probably cheaper for them to come back.

966
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: But there has to be some advantage to just staying

967
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 1: over there, Like your body's got to normalize a little bit.

968
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: I was, I was honestly lucky in my life to

969
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: get to go a bunch to Europe on tour as

970
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: a musician, and it was interesting always when he came back,

971
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,720
Speaker 1: Like everybody reacted a little bit differently to that. Certainly

972
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: not athletes, but even musicians. When you're coming back from

973
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: one coast to the other, get it can take a

974
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: lot out of you. So I think there is some

975
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: advantage if I'm the Bills, I'm you know, and I

976
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: know everybody has a different strategy on this, But if

977
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: I'm the Bills knowing that the time time change is

978
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 1: probably most f ruble coming from where I am, I'm

979
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: waiting as long as possible to get over there, and

980
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: I'm just getting over there, getting it done and coming back.

981
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: But that's, you know, for the Jags, you've been there

982
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: for a second, You've had the chance to acclimate. You know,

983
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: you just want you want decent food. But you can

984
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: get that when you know them.

985
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, And they talk about the possibility maybe of a

986
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 2: team in London. I don't get it. I don't know

987
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 2: how a team like Seattle could fly to London and

988
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 2: play a football game.

989
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: I just also like, this is way in the weeds.

990
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,439
Speaker 1: But like, let's be honest, A lot of people don't

991
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,280
Speaker 1: think about this, but the taxes to play in London

992
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: would be astronomical for any athlete. They would have to

993
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: they literally have to adjust the salary cap to figure

994
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: out how to allow athletes in London to get comparable

995
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 1: pay because they would pay so much more in taxes

996
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: for what they make compared to what they would pay

997
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: over here. By the time they pay the taxes they

998
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: would owe London and the taxes that they would owe

999
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 1: as American citizens, Like, it's just one of those things

1000
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: in the week, everybody talks about a London team until

1001
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: you can explain to me how the taxes are going

1002
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 1: to work out, I don't think there's any chance that

1003
00:42:58,520 --> 00:42:59,240
Speaker 1: actually happens.

1004
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 3: Wow, right, we do that.

1005
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 1: That's the information nobody really wanted that. I just look,

1006
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 1: it's a guy that's had to write a check before

1007
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: to England. I'm telling you, it's just no, it's not good.

1008
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:09,720
Speaker 3: Good.

1009
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 2: I'm glad you cleared that up, and maybe the NFL

1010
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 2: was listening. Really, I really am. Hey, we have to

1011
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 2: agree on this that we took about the goat of

1012
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 2: NFL coaches. I think it's gotta be Bill Belichick. If

1013
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 2: he's not up there, he's side by side, perhaps with

1014
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 2: Vince Lombardi. Do we agree on that? I would say

1015
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 2: you probably do?

1016
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1017
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 2: Good, Okay, So today the Saints are playing at New England.

1018
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 2: They're playing the Patriots. Patriock. I mean it was embarrassing

1019
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 2: last week. The it was thirty eight to three at

1020
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 2: Dallas last week. I gotta believe that a loss today,

1021
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 2: no playoffs for the Patriots. They're hurting in the defensive

1022
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 2: backfield and look they got it. I mean, it's not

1023
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 2: a Bill Belichick. Key, it doesn't look like a Belichick team.

1024
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,399
Speaker 2: Why do I say that? Mac Jones three turnovers? Lest

1025
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 2: we come on, is it time to move on from

1026
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 2: Mac Jones? And if you do, who do you go to?

1027
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 2: That's the question.

1028
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: It's time to move on from Bill Belichick, not just

1029
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,439
Speaker 1: Mac Jones. Look, I think two things can be true here.

1030
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: You can be the greatest of all time and not

1031
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 1: the right fit anymore for where you are. And every

1032
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: single issue that Bill Belichick the coach has, is an

1033
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: issue that was created by Bill Belichick the GM right,

1034
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: so that at some point you're right that Mac Jones

1035
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: is not the answer. The problem is the same guy's

1036
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:19,280
Speaker 1: going to pick the next quarterback.

1037
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 3: And I understand that.

1038
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: When you've had the success that Belichick has had, we're

1039
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: not allowed to question certain portions of it. But if

1040
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: we're being real, the roster is not good enough. The

1041
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: coaching staff for most of the last several years has

1042
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: not been good enough, highed by Belichick if you look

1043
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: up and down the organization. The hardest part about it

1044
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 1: is there are so many Belichick disciples. Hell, there's so

1045
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 1: many Belichicks on this coaching staff. The concept of moving

1046
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: on seems daunting. But at some point, you're Robert Kraft.

1047
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 1: You got to ask yourself a very difficult question, not

1048
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: what has won me super bowls in the past, but

1049
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: right now, what in the next five years will win

1050
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: me a super Bowl? And I have a hard time

1051
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: figuring out how Bill Belichick the GM is going to

1052
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: out talent the Dolphins and the Bills for the next

1053
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: several years. They're going to be at best the third

1054
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: best team in their own division for the next five, six,

1055
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: seven years. By the time you get through that period,

1056
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: are you even capable of building where you need to be.

1057
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,919
Speaker 1: I think they're in the most unenviable It keeps saying

1058
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: the wrong word on that they're in a really bad situation,

1059
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: just a really bad situation.

1060
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 2: You know, you mentioned Robert Crafty owner. He was somewhat

1061
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 2: vocal back in August saying that, you know, there's a

1062
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 2: possibility that he might make a coaching change. Didn't mention

1063
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 2: it specifically, but if you read between the Lions, he

1064
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 2: is not too happy. And I think that if they

1065
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 2: failed to make the playoffs, which they probably could fail

1066
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 2: to make the playoffs, there'll be a situation where I

1067
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 2: think there'll be an agreement that Belichick will leave. He'll resign,

1068
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,839
Speaker 2: he won't get fired, and we talk about coaches time

1069
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 2: for a change. As you said, maybe it's time for

1070
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 2: a change for Belichick. I do recall in my mind

1071
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 2: a little foggy on this when Vince Lombardi left the

1072
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers, he went to coach to Washington then Redskins.

1073
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 2: He won with them. He immediately turned the Redskins into

1074
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 2: a winner. So it didn't make a difference really for

1075
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 2: Lombardy with talent. He just took over a team that

1076
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 2: was really so downtrodden to come into the players. I

1077
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 2: get it. It's a different NFL today than it was

1078
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 2: back then. But still in all, he did what he

1079
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 2: had to do.

1080
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's the other interesting part. The Patriots

1081
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 1: have to look out for the Patriots. Belichick's got to

1082
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,439
Speaker 1: look out for Belichick and for everybody. And I've heard

1083
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: this suggested many times. Well maybe they'll just put him

1084
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: in a supervisory or front office role. That's exactly what

1085
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 1: he's bad at, right Like the problems that they're having

1086
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: right now are because he's not good at that portion

1087
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 1: of this job. So why would you put him in

1088
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: that role? And if he wants to continue coaching, would

1089
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 1: he essentially just be able to take his whole staff

1090
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: somewhere else. The only question that new place would have

1091
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: to ask is are you getting a version of Belichick

1092
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: that can help you win today? So it's a weird

1093
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,320
Speaker 1: spot to be in, and I get it for Patriots

1094
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 1: fans and for the organization, it's tough to move on

1095
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 1: from a legend. But at the same time, if that

1096
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:56,359
Speaker 1: legend can't, if you got to look at the mirror

1097
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: and ask yourself, can we win a Super Bowl right now?

1098
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 1: And the answer for the Patriots a square. They're not

1099
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: a playoff team this year. They don't have a good

1100
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 1: enough quarterback, their roster isn't solid enough, and the future

1101
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:07,439
Speaker 1: does not look bright at all.

1102
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,359
Speaker 2: For New England fans, well, I'm gonna put the brakes

1103
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:10,959
Speaker 2: on it for a second. That's so much doom and gloom.

1104
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 2: I do think the Patriots win today. I think they

1105
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,879
Speaker 2: beat the Saints. However, the pages have to stop. They

1106
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:17,959
Speaker 2: have to stop out of Kamara because here's a guy

1107
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 2: that could really break the game wide open. And if

1108
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 2: you look at the Patriots and their history, they've had

1109
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 2: some problem defending against receiving backs who have that short dumpluff,

1110
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 2: dink and dunk pass in the backfield. So that's the

1111
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 2: key right there. Kamara could be a breakaway guy that

1112
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 2: could change this game. But I think at home, after

1113
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 2: coming up that lost last week, I think the Patriots

1114
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 2: go to two and three today and the Saints fall

1115
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 2: to two and three.

1116
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: I heard in the update earlier that the presumption is

1117
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: that Derek Carr is playing because he feels better. The

1118
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: only thing that makes me laugh is last week there

1119
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 1: wasn't a presumption that he didn't feel good enough. Now

1120
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 1: we're hearing it that way, so it's sort of revisionists

1121
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: as teams. Do you mentioned Kamara? The one thing I

1122
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,399
Speaker 1: would say is that thirteen catches, eleven rushers last week,

1123
00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: his share, his percentage of overall usage was through the

1124
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: roof last week. They are going to continue because Derek

1125
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: Carr a isn't healthy and B he's always going to

1126
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: be comfortable taking what a defense will give him. I

1127
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 1: think they're going to try and utilize Kamari yere thousand

1128
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 1: percent right. The question is just is there enough health

1129
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: for him to do what he needs to do. I

1130
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 1: don't think so. I Actually I'm with you. I like

1131
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: New England in this game. I think their defense can

1132
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: do enough to confuse Derek Carr, and that could be enough,

1133
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 1: especially injured with the limited time he's getting, I think

1134
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: that could be enough to hold them back.

1135
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 2: We agree. I love it. Now, here's a game that

1136
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 2: basically on paper, you know, I'd love to watch, but

1137
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 2: I don't think it means much right now because I

1138
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 2: said coming into the segment, it's all about one man

1139
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,760
Speaker 2: raven Steelers and then one man's Lamar Jackson. Steelers loss

1140
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 2: at Houston last week of all places, thirty to six.

1141
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 2: Not good. And I know Mike Tomlin, the coach, said

1142
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 2: he's to make some changes. Here's the problem with the Steelers.

1143
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 2: Kenny Pickett's not developing a quarterback. They have no run game.

1144
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 2: Did Naji Harris forget how to run? What happened to

1145
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 2: Naji Harris? He's not running? And the Ravens. I say,

1146
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 2: it's all about Lamar Jackson. He's a team leading rushing

1147
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 2: with two hundred and twenty yards. I think Lamar jacks

1148
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 2: since has a field day today and I think the

1149
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 2: Ravens win and they win.

1150
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 1: Bid Like, are we in this weird spot where the

1151
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: Steelers aren't good every year? We just presume that no

1152
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: matter what, the Steelers are gonna be good. And I

1153
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 1: agree with you. I mean, the Steelers have not been

1154
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,839
Speaker 1: able to put together a competent looking offense. And part

1155
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: of the issue I think y're a thousand percent right now.

1156
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: He's not running the football well. The Steelers as a

1157
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 1: team are not running the football well. And because Kenny

1158
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: Pickett is absolutely no threat right now as a quarterback.

1159
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: And I know he's gonna play expectation, but obviously got

1160
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: hurt last week. But when you don't have a quarterback

1161
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 1: that can threaten at all, defense doesn't have to worry

1162
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 1: about it at all. But the stunning part about that

1163
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 1: is you do have weapons there that are considered to

1164
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 1: be good, right Like Pickens is a good wide receiver,

1165
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 1: Frank Ruth is a good tight end. Like you look

1166
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 1: across the board. They have guys that should be able

1167
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 1: to do damage and they can't. And part of that's

1168
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 1: because of Kenny Pickett. Part of that's because of the

1169
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: offense and the way it's being called. The Steelers just

1170
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: feel like they're bad. And that's weird to say. We've

1171
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 1: never really looked at a Mike Tomlin and said, oh,

1172
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 1: this is a bad football team, and we are now

1173
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 1: saying that. So I got to be equally fair and

1174
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 1: harsh in some ways on the Steelers as I was

1175
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: to just the Patriots a minute ago. I think the Steelers.

1176
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,879
Speaker 1: Obviously they're not nearly in that same category at gloom

1177
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,879
Speaker 1: and doom, but the Steelers are a disaster so far.

1178
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, I fully expect every one of these weeks

1179
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: that offense for Baltimore gets a little bit more comfortable

1180
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 1: with the new offensive coordinator, a little more comfortable with

1181
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: the new system. This is a big chance for Baltimore

1182
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: to come out make a statement.

1183
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 2: Jason Fitz un to let you know a little bit

1184
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 2: of a secret. Okay, I'm going to open up to

1185
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:32,359
Speaker 2: you because I love you to death.

1186
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: I love this.

1187
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,319
Speaker 2: The next game I coach in the NFL will be

1188
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 2: my first. Okay, So when I say this, I mean

1189
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 2: that I think the best chance the Steelers have to

1190
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 2: win would probably be Mitch Trubisky a quarterback. I really

1191
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 2: believe that. However, I think that as a coach, you

1192
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 2: have to say to yourself, if I bench Kenny Pickett,

1193
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, now the confidence that he hads,

1194
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 2: which is not much, goes down to cropper, and then

1195
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, if you put him back in,

1196
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 2: he's going to be second guessing himself the confidence factor.

1197
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 2: So I think as a coach, it's not so much

1198
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 2: that you're going to do a better job with Trubisku,

1199
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 2: and you may win with him, You're going to really

1200
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 2: destroy the psyche of Kenny Pickett. Maybe I'm entirely wrong,

1201
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 2: but I think maybe that's the reason why Pickett still

1202
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:14,319
Speaker 2: going out there. Well.

1203
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 1: Also, I'll add that there are very few coaches in

1204
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:21,720
Speaker 1: the entire league they can be more comfortable making long

1205
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 1: term decisions than Mike Tomlin. Right Like, you're with an

1206
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 1: organization that is not over reactionary in anything that they do.

1207
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 1: So if you're Tomlin and you believe that it does

1208
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,320
Speaker 1: help the long term psyche of a guy you believe

1209
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 1: that can play, then you will do even if it's

1210
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: worse for you today. You can justify that one hundred percent.

1211
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 1: There are plenty of coaches that are so worried about

1212
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:44,399
Speaker 1: wedding every week because that's what their job relies on,

1213
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: that they wouldn't be willing to take that same risk.

1214
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 1: Tomlin would and can through this process, and they've got

1215
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 1: to look internally and figure out if Kenny Bickett, if

1216
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: they believe Kenny Bickett is the answer. I didn't think

1217
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 1: he was. And then all of a sudden in preseason

1218
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 1: it looked so stinking good that I turned around. I

1219
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 1: did the very thing we always tell people not to do.

1220
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: Fell in love with preseason results, and now what do

1221
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 1: we get? So, you know, the Steelers have to make

1222
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: that decision. If they don't believe that Kenny Bickett's the

1223
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 1: long term answer, then they just need to move on

1224
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: and put in good old Mitchell and see where it

1225
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 1: goes from there. But if they do, Tomlin has the

1226
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 1: grace of ownership knowing that he has a the reputation,

1227
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: be the clout and see the following that he can

1228
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 1: do whatever he wants there and people will give him

1229
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt.

1230
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, you would think the game being played in Pittsburgh

1231
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 2: because I think they probably have, between them and maybe Vegas,

1232
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 2: the best fans in the NFL. They travel all over

1233
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:35,400
Speaker 2: the place, and you think that being in Pittsburgh they

1234
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 2: would have someone over advantage. And I don't think they do.

1235
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 2: And I think the Ravens win, And honestly, I think

1236
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 2: the Ravens win fairly big, I really do.

1237
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:43,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. I think Baltimore wins this game big.

1238
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,360
Speaker 1: And we are at that turning point where Kenny Pickett

1239
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: goes from being a cute story to somebody that will

1240
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 1: get booed by that crowd if it doesn't look right.

1241
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: So that you're right about that too. Like Pittsburgh fans

1242
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 1: are not going to be patient if he plays poorly.

1243
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:58,360

Speaker 2: eight seven seven nine ninety six sixty three sixty nine.

1255
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 2: This hour, the Moment of Truth, will have bottom barrel

1256
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 2: betting and'll find out how mister Fitz did last week

1257
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 2: in his first attent at Bonton barrel betting. But right

1258
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 2: now they're perfect at home and they'll remain perfect. That's

1259
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:47,919
Speaker 2: next rest and a strong rung defense equals a win.

1260
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 2: We'll get to that in just about a minute. He

1261
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 2: is Jason Fitzit for Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Furman. Together,

1262
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 2: we have Fox Football Sunday on Fox Sports. Ready there,

1263
00:53:55,520 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 2: let's go right along now. Detexans at the Atlanta Falcon

1264
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 2: both teams two and two. However, whatever this means, the

1265
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 2: Falcons are a perfect two and zero at home, and

1266
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:09,399
Speaker 2: I'll jump to the conclusion right now and say that

1267
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 2: they'll remain undefeated at home by beating the Texans today.

1268
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 2: That's my take.

1269
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: It's pretty crazy to me that two and two can

1270
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 1: feel so differently depending on what the expectation was a

1271
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: month ago, like because the Falcons came into this with

1272
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 1: some people, especially around the organization, saying, hey, there's a

1273
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 1: shot this team can win the division, and two and

1274
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 1: two feels like you're teetering on the edge of everything

1275
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 1: going the wrong way. And conversely, it was, well, you know,

1276
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: the Texans, even with two draft picks, are still gonna

1277
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:41,399
Speaker 1: be garbage, and they aren't. They're very good and CJ.

1278
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: Stroud has turned out to be much better than anybody expected,

1279
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: and his chemistry with Tank Dell seems to be a

1280
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 1: delight to Will Anderson Junior seems to be the right pick,

1281
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 1: like they got the right guy in every situation, they

1282
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 1: got the right head coach. So there's this love story

1283
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 1: around the Texans and what they look like so far.

1284
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 1: This all comes down to creativity to me, though, Like

1285
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 1: the reason I'm going to go towards the Texans in

1286
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 1: this is because I still don't trust Arthur Smith at

1287
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:08,919
Speaker 1: some point to not be a boring, predictable game plan.

1288
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 1: And I do trust to meek O Ryans to be

1289
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:13,839
Speaker 1: able to look at the Texans and figure out how

1290
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 1: to stop a boring, predictable game plan. Like I'll keep

1291
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 1: saying this, everybody says, well, it's not fantasy football. The

1292
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,720
Speaker 1: reason certain guys are projected to do well in fantasy

1293
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: football is because they're good football players. I have no

1294
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,320
Speaker 1: problem with the guy not getting any run for fantasy football.

1295
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: My bigger thing is, at some point, when you have

1296
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Bitts, and you have Drake London and you have Bijon,

1297
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: you got guys that are also supposed to be very good.

1298
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 1: Just make sure that your great guys are getting the

1299
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:39,760
Speaker 1: ball and great opportunities to become great. I don't trust

1300
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 1: desmaon Ritter. I do trust to meek O Ryans. So

1301
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,720
Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna go Texans in this matchup and continue

1302
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: to ride that hype train like this just feels like this,

1303
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,360
Speaker 1: it's a feel good story early in the season for

1304
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: the Texans.

1305
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:51,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you, right Dan. You know I watched

1306
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 2: desmand ready to play quarterback at the University of Cincinnati,

1307
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 2: led them to tremendous heights. But he's not getting it

1308
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 2: done and he's not the franchise quarterback. I think the

1309
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 2: Falcons one. He had two with deceptions and a lost

1310
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 2: fumble last week as they lost. The Falcons did twenty

1311
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 2: three to seven to Jacksonville. That was the Bucky Brooks's

1312
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 2: game in London. Now they got to run the football.

1313
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:10,840
Speaker 2: They got Robbinson to run the football. But I just

1314
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 2: don't think they're good enough. You mentioned CJ. Stroud. He's impressive,

1315
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:17,360
Speaker 2: very impressive a Texans six touchdowns and noiant. So I

1316
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 2: think this game is going to the Falcons right now.

1317
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,319
Speaker 2: And you know the Falcons right now not a great

1318
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 2: team and a bad division. You said they might win

1319
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:26,959
Speaker 2: the division. They still could. I don't think they will,

1320
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 2: but you know, Desmond ridd is not the guy. He's

1321
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 2: just not the guy. He's that long term future for

1322
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 2: that team.

1323
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 1: I totally agree, and by the way, I agree with

1324
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 1: everything you said. I mean, one of my favorite things

1325
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 1: in covering college football is getting to find guys like

1326
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 1: Desmond Ritter and watch a lot of their stuff and

1327
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:44,880
Speaker 1: cover a lot of their stuff. At Cincinnati, what he

1328
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 1: was capable of doing was incredible. But that doesn't always translate.

1329
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 1: And that's part of the reason. You know, more often

1330
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: than not when guys are available past the first round

1331
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 1: at the quarterback positions, because there's a fatal flaw of

1332
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 1: some sort you hope you can fix that. They came

1333
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 1: into this really confident that he could be their guy,

1334
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:02,839
Speaker 1: or at least they could give him the shot to

1335
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 1: do it. And that's fine, that's great, But I don't

1336
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:08,320
Speaker 1: think the Desma ridd you need a game out of

1337
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:10,319
Speaker 1: a quarterback to win, You're not going to get that

1338
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 1: from Desma Ritter. It's been the thing that I've questioned

1339
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:15,800
Speaker 1: from the outset of this season. The interesting part about

1340
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 1: the Falcons is that, you know, let's see what happens

1341
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 1: with the Buccaneers right now. But the rest of that

1342
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 1: division it's not particularly great. So I think, you know,

1343
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 1: the question is do you want to win the division

1344
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 1: and go to the playoffs? You want to be a

1345
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 1: good football team, because I think they have a shot

1346
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 1: at some level of being competitive through the division. I

1347
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:32,920
Speaker 1: don't think they have a shot at being a really

1348
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 1: good football team as long as Desmon Ridders there quarterback.

1349
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't think they want to pass in

1350
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 2: the football. He's only has one hundred and nineteen attempts

1351
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 2: in those four games, so I mean, honestly, three interceptions,

1352
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 2: three touchdowns, so he's not passing the football. They know

1353
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 2: he's not going to pass the football, so got to

1354
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 2: run the ball if you want to win. But I

1355
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 2: think they'll win today, maybe win by a field goal,

1356
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 2: but they're going to win. Go to Panthers at the

1357
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 2: Detroit lines. I say this for those doubters out there,

1358
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 2: the Lions are for real. That thirty four to twenty

1359
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 2: one of a Bay we could go Thursday. They got

1360
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 2: Green Bays now, but there's no doubt about that. Got

1361
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 2: a lot of rest now from a week to go

1362
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 2: Thursday to today, Panthers owned for can Bryce Young attack

1363
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 2: downfield with DJ Clark, Chalk and Adam Feelin. I don't

1364
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 2: think so. I think the Lions dominate this game. Lions

1365
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 2: are good. They take after their coach. The coach is

1366
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 2: He's a tough, hard nosed, old school kind of guy.

1367
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 2: He's got these guys playing great defense. He really does.

1368
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 2: And as I say, the Lions will dominate this game.

1369
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you, and I think you know,

1370
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 1: when you start thinking about what it meant to beat

1371
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 1: the Packers, the only thing that you constantly hear in

1372
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 1: these situations is the concept of a letdown game. I

1373
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 1: don't think Dan Campbell as a coach is capable of

1374
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 1: letting a team have a let down game. There's just

1375
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:43,479
Speaker 1: too much weird intensity from him and everything that he does.

1376
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 1: The Lions can spread you out, beating from anywhere. They

1377
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 1: only seem to add more weapons. The Porters turned out

1378
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 1: to be a delight for them also early on. They

1379
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 1: can beat you in every level offensively. And you know,

1380
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 1: at some point, no matter what we thought of Jared

1381
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 1: Goff at different points in his career, what we think

1382
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 1: of Jared Goffer right now is whether it's the right

1383
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:03,919
Speaker 1: relationship with the right coach or whatever. I don't care.

1384
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 1: Jared Go's playing good football. Bryce Young isn't right. So

1385
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 1: I don't think Bryce Young's playing great football, and I

1386
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: don't think Frank Reich's doing a great job of putting

1387
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 1: him in a situation to be successful to the same

1388
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 1: level of what we've seen from like Stichen and Anthony Richardson,

1389
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 1: for example. So I don't trust Carolina at all. And

1390
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 1: I absolutely yeah, this game will be over by halftime

1391
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:25,919
Speaker 1: and Lions fans will be sitting back realizing that they've

1392
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 1: now become the very team that they usually got beat by,

1393
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 1: the team that's just consistently good and can kick your butt.

1394
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: Like that's the Lions right now.

1395
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 2: You know, you look at the schedule. I just pulled

1396
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 2: up the Detroit Lions schedule. First of all, they win today,

1397
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 2: there's a good chance they're gonna put one nail on

1398
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:42,440
Speaker 2: the coffee to win that division. They really will. I

1399
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 2: they're gonna win that division. But if you look at

1400
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:48,080
Speaker 2: this schedule, I think they only have two challenged games

1401
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 2: that remainder of the schedule. The twenty second of October

1402
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 2: they're at Baltimore, and the thirtieth of December, they're at Dallas.

1403
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 2: Other than that, every other game, I'm not going to

1404
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:58,720
Speaker 2: say they win it, but they should win. They will win.

1405
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 2: You know, everybody says these games they should win, they

1406
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 2: winnable games. No, I'm gonna go one step further. They

1407
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 2: will win those games. After today, what do they have

1408
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:10,440
Speaker 2: at Tampa Bay? They win Vegas, they win Charges, they

1409
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 2: win Bears, they win Green Bay, they win again at

1410
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 2: New Orleans, they win Chicago, they win Denver, Minnesota, and

1411
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:19,440
Speaker 2: Minnesota again. They're gonna win those games. I mean, I

1412
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 2: don't see them losing maybe one of two more ball

1413
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 2: games this year.

1414
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 1: Well. The other part with the Vikings that I think

1415
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 1: is interesting is they get the Vikings twice in the

1416
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 1: last three weeks. By then, Minnesota season could be absolutely done, right, and.

1417
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 2: So coaches may not be the quarterback by then, right.

1418
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:37,800
Speaker 1: And so all of a sudden, you have no idea

1419
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:39,919
Speaker 1: what version of the Vikings you'll be getting that late.

1420
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 1: The Bears and Broncos their seasons will be done by then.

1421
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 1: So I actually agree with you. This schedule is super favorable.

1422
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 1: The Chargers can give them a good game if the

1423
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 1: Chargers can never get healthy, and of course my beloved

1424
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 1: Raiders is gonna beat them because the Raiders are juggernuts

1425
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 1: just waiting to wake up. Let me dream, let me

1426
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 1: have nice things. But yeah, I agree with you. This

1427
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 1: Lion's team is by the end the year that the

1428
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 1: question isn't going to be did they win the division?

1429
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: The question is how do they stack up with the

1430
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 1: Eagles and the forty nine ers, because they are going

1431
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 1: to be amongst the NFC is elite, and by the

1432
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 1: way they're young in a lot of places, they're going

1433
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:11,920
Speaker 1: to be an elite team for a while.

1434
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 2: You know, It's funny because the way the NFL is

1435
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 2: set up, and everybody knows this, you know, you know,

1436
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:20,600
Speaker 2: the team that finishes last gat the first pick, and

1437
01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 2: you know the kind of balance it out, and that's

1438
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 2: why teams at the Lions finally are back in contention.

1439
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 2: You're built through the draft, maybe you built through a

1440
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 2: little free agency, but basically that's the concept of the league.

1441
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 2: I've always felt, and people look at me like I

1442
01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 2: got an eye in the back of my head. I've

1443
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 2: always felt that you should be rewarded for winning, and

1444
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:41,960
Speaker 2: I think the team that wins the Super Bowl should

1445
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:43,919
Speaker 2: get the first pick. And I don't think there's nothing

1446
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 2: wrong with a team that dominates. For years, you had

1447
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 2: teams that dominated sports in various capacities. You had the

1448
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 2: Boston Celtics dominating basketball, the Montreal Canadians dominating hockey. Okay,

1449
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 2: the Yankees dominated baseball, and the teams that you love

1450
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 2: to hate. That's what it was. I think think there's

1451
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 2: something good about that. The draft situation, I get it.

1452
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:05,160
Speaker 2: And you know what, more often than that, if you

1453
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 2: do finish last, I get that first pick. I don't

1454
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:10,480
Speaker 2: see Tampa doing anything with Trevor Lawrence. I really don't.

1455
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any guarantee that if you're so

1456
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 2: called tank and get that first pick, you're gonna turn

1457
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 2: it around. Give the team that honestly deserves that first

1458
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 2: pick because they want something, they're a champion, give them

1459
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:23,760
Speaker 2: the first pick.

1460
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 5: You.

1461
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 1: I don't think you've ever been more wrong about anything

1462
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:27,720
Speaker 1: you've ever.

1463
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 2: I know I've been told that before.

1464
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 1: It's I love the concept of what you're saying, but

1465
01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 1: as a fan of a team that has sucked for

1466
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 1: the majority of the last twenty years, I gotta have

1467
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 1: hope somewhere like the reason the draft has become is

1468
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 1: my hot take. The single greatest moment in the sports

1469
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 1: calendar every single year is the NFL Draft. It's better

1470
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 1: than the World Series. It's better than the super Bowl.

1471
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:51,920
Speaker 1: It's better an event. It's and thirty one out of

1472
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 1: thirty two teams will walk away from the draft feeling hope.

1473
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 1: Right like you either feel this great winner, this great

1474
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 1: loss of your team blows the draft, but going into it,

1475
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 1: every single team thinks, this is when my relationship with

1476
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 1: my team gets fixed. Everything gets better. You need that hope.

1477
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 1: If you reward the good teams, then the bad teams

1478
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 1: are gonna be mired and mediocrity forever. Right, But you

1479
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 1: give chance to like every as a Raiders fan every

1480
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 1: single year, by when the season ends, you have this

1481
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 1: really honest look at your team. You have this honest

1482
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 1: look at your relationship. You're like, yeah, this is dysfunctional.

1483
01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 1: And then you go through free agency and you're like,

1484
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 1: you know what, like I kind of miss her, Like

1485
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 1: things are okay, things are better. You get to the

1486
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 1: draft and then the draft is all of a sudden,

1487
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, I love this place we used to

1488
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:35,440
Speaker 1: go to lunch like kids where you start dating your

1489
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:37,920
Speaker 1: team again. You fall back in love and boom, you're

1490
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 1: right back into heartbreak where I am right now. If

1491
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,240
Speaker 1: I don't have the draft as my beacon of light

1492
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:44,520
Speaker 1: in a dark, dark world, then where's my hope going

1493
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 1: to come from as a fan?

1494
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:48,600
Speaker 2: You're exactly right. It's hope. But after the hope, there's

1495
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:51,360
Speaker 2: no guarantee from the hope that you do get results.

1496
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 2: That's that's the key. But you're right, I've seen the

1497
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:58,480
Speaker 2: draft obviously is a major event in football, Baseball, no

1498
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:01,960
Speaker 2: one even knows when the draft is. To be honest, right, hockey,

1499
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:03,919
Speaker 2: no one cares. First of all, you can't you can't

1500
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:06,440
Speaker 2: pronounce the names anyway. They're all French, so it's no

1501
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 2: big deal, right, But as far as football is concerned,

1502
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:11,680
Speaker 2: it's a big deal. It's a couple of day events

1503
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:13,640
Speaker 2: and it's on TV and people love it, and that's

1504
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 2: the way it is. You're right, it's hope. But hope

1505
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 2: does not guarantee wins. That's the problem. But maybe you

1506
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 2: know and I am wrong. I know i'm wrong because

1507
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 2: if I was right, they do it, So I'm wrong.

1508
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 2: But I think that in life you should be rewarded

1509
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 2: for doing something good, and if you win it all

1510
01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 2: you get something good, maybe maybe an extra pick. Something

1511
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 2: should be given to a team that wins the Super

1512
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:37,520
Speaker 2: Bowl besides a ring and a parade. That's just me

1513
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:42,160
Speaker 2: all right. But by the way, no offense means no wins.

1514
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:45,600
Speaker 2: That's coming up next live from the tiraq dot Com studios.

1515
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 2: But first, our guy Kevin Wyatt with all your sports.

1516
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got some NFL injury news breaking overnight. Actually,

1517
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 3: Tom Pellisero with a tweet earlier that said that Lions

1518
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 3: wide receiver Jamison Williams is expected to play a limited role,

1519
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 3: maybe around twenty snaps in his return from his gambling

1520
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:09,080
Speaker 3: suspension today against Carolina, though Lea's him back in on

1521
01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 3: a day that running back Jamieir Gibbs and wide receiver

1522
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 3: Amon Ross Saint Brown are not expected to play. Lions

1523
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:24,640
Speaker 3: running running back Jamiir Gibbs was dongraded officially to doubtful

1524
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:29,400
Speaker 3: other injury Newsy and Rappaport saying quarterback Derek Carr listed

1525
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:31,920
Speaker 3: as questionable. The right children will play today. He's in

1526
01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:34,000

1583
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:44,280
Speaker 2: a must win, and I underline must for the Bengals,

1584
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:47,519
Speaker 2: a preseason Super Bowl pick. Now one in three, now

1585
01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 2: possibly fighting for a playoff spot. In four games, the

1586
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:53,639
Speaker 2: Bengals have failed to reach three hundred total yards three times,

1587
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 2: with only three touchdowns this year. Joe Burrow no mobility,

1588
01:08:57,160 --> 01:09:00,759
Speaker 2: averaging like four point eight yards per passing attempt. Not good,

1589
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 2: not good. I think Arizona takes in this game.

1590
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:05,439
Speaker 3: Man.

1591
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 1: If Arizona takes it in this game, the Bengals are

1592
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 1: done and I mean done, done. And when you think

1593
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:13,439
Speaker 1: about that and what that means, because we were just

1594
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:15,599
Speaker 1: looking at the future schedule, look at the next several

1595
01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 1: games for the Bengals after this Cardinals game. They have

1596
01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:20,040
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, the forty nine Ers.

1597
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:20,559
Speaker 3: And the Bills.

1598
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,560
Speaker 1: Even with Joe Burrow being healthy, those are going to

1599
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:25,800
Speaker 1: be tough. But right now, sitting at one in three,

1600
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 1: I mean, are we really willing to sit here and

1601
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:30,479
Speaker 1: say that there's a chance that the Bengals are going

1602
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:32,960
Speaker 1: to hit the midway point ish of the season at

1603
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 1: one in eight? And if that's a case, it just

1604
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 1: comes back to you've got to figure out if it

1605
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:41,519
Speaker 1: just makes sense to shut Burrow down because a shell

1606
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:45,080
Speaker 1: of If a shell of Joe Burrow can't beat the Cardinals,

1607
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 1: then a shell of Joe Burrow can't beat any of

1608
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 1: those next three teams either. This is the month to

1609
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:51,760
Speaker 1: shut him down. And frankly, right now, I'm just looking

1610
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:55,000
Speaker 1: at Cincinnati and saying, why did you put yourself in

1611
01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 1: this situation? Jamar Chase even said during preseason like I

1612
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:00,839
Speaker 1: don't need you week one sit down. And the hardest

1613
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 1: part for the Bengals that they have to accept as

1614
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:05,800
Speaker 1: an organization is that they will no longer ever be

1615
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:09,080
Speaker 1: judged by what happens during Joe Burrow's career in September

1616
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 1: or October. They will always be judged by what happens

1617
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,479
Speaker 1: in January. So you got to look at it and say, Okay,

1618
01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:16,479
Speaker 1: it's not about what gives us the best chance to

1619
01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:19,160
Speaker 1: win today. It's about what gives us the best chance

1620
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:21,240
Speaker 1: to win in the middle of January. What do we

1621
01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:23,840
Speaker 1: have to do to put ourselves in that situation but

1622
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 1: also to make sure that we're as good as possible

1623
01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:28,519
Speaker 1: in that moment. And if this is the version of

1624
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:30,599
Speaker 1: Burrow they get, it's going to be a struggle every week.

1625
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 1: If you can't beat the Cardinals, you ain't making the

1626
01:10:32,479 --> 01:10:34,760
Speaker 1: playoffs anyway. So you might as well sitch boy down,

1627
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:37,479
Speaker 1: get him healthy, let him get right, and then when

1628
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:39,439
Speaker 1: he can come back, hope that you can just get

1629
01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:41,519
Speaker 1: through with the thunder of the gods and a tear

1630
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:43,519
Speaker 1: down the back half of the schedule. But man, this

1631
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:46,240
Speaker 1: is a tough schedule for the Bengals. This season feels

1632
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:49,120
Speaker 1: like it's a lost cause if they lose today. I

1633
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 1: would love to pick the Cardinals because I'm an agent

1634
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:53,960
Speaker 1: of chaos, but I just feel with their backup against

1635
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:56,760
Speaker 1: the wall like this, man, the Bengals have to come

1636
01:10:56,760 --> 01:10:59,680
Speaker 1: out and respond. Otherwise everybody's gonna start wondering if their

1637
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:00,599
Speaker 1: jobs and jeopardy.

1638
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 2: You know, when Bengals coach Zach Taylor was asked will

1639
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:05,680
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow play or not? And then he said it

1640
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 2: was a stupid question. You know, My question is this,

1641
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:10,120
Speaker 2: where's the medical staff?

1642
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:10,600
Speaker 1: You know?

1643
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:11,040
Speaker 3: I don't.

1644
01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 2: I don't think Zach Taylor is set time and again,

1645
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 2: Joe feels good. Joe tells me he wants to play.

1646
01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:18,000
Speaker 2: That's great. Every athlete wants to go out there do

1647
01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 2: the raw rock. Guys show they have guts. But I

1648
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:21,920
Speaker 2: think the medical staff has to step up and say,

1649
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:24,600
Speaker 2: look to the coaching staff after Joe, Joe, this is

1650
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:27,280
Speaker 2: not a small decision. You know, you could reinjure it.

1651
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 2: It's going to take long at the heel you reinjured

1652
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:32,080
Speaker 2: to kind of get worse. I haven't heard boo from

1653
01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:35,040
Speaker 2: the medical staff throughout this entire process. I think it's wrong.

1654
01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:38,120
Speaker 1: And how often do we hear athletes even tell his

1655
01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:40,320
Speaker 1: former athletes will say you sometimes you got to protect

1656
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:42,880
Speaker 1: guys from themselves because guys always want to play. They

1657
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 1: always want to it's part of how they're wired. Like

1658
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:47,960
Speaker 1: great athletes want to be on the field. I understand that.

1659
01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:50,959
Speaker 1: So sometimes as an organization, you've got to have systems

1660
01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:53,160
Speaker 1: in place where great athletes want to be on the field,

1661
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:55,280
Speaker 1: Great coaches want their great athletes to be out there.

1662
01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:57,720
Speaker 1: You've got to have checks and balances where somebody says, hey,

1663
01:11:58,000 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 1: I know what you want, but people in hell on

1664
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:01,240
Speaker 1: on ice wall and that's not what we're doing around

1665
01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 1: here today. So you've just got to be able to

1666
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 1: look at Joe Burrow and say, hey, I know it's

1667
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:08,160
Speaker 1: right for your body. You just got to listen to me,

1668
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 1: and the fact that they don't have anybody there to

1669
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:12,439
Speaker 1: do that has led them to this situation.

1670
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:14,000
Speaker 2: No doubt about that. And the bottom line of this

1671
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 2: game is this. The Arizona defense is better than the

1672
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:19,439
Speaker 2: Cincinnati offense. So that's why I'm taking Arizona Eagles at

1673
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:23,559
Speaker 2: Rams today against Washington quarterback Jalen Hurts three hundred nineteen yards.

1674
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:25,800
Speaker 2: Eagles need to run the boil against Rams. Why do

1675
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:27,800
Speaker 2: I say that? The Rams have allowed one hundred and

1676
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 2: thirty three yards on the ground to the Colts, one

1677
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty nine yards to the forty nine ers.

1678
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:34,320
Speaker 2: But still in all the Eagles they are a better team.

1679
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:36,400
Speaker 2: When you rank the teams in the NFL, they're in

1680
01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:38,599
Speaker 2: the top three. So I think I getting it together

1681
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:39,880
Speaker 2: right now with dere Swift.

1682
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 1: Now, the Eagles portion of this is so interesting because

1683
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:45,840
Speaker 1: we're trying to figure out how good the Rams are,

1684
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:48,280
Speaker 1: right the Rams sitting at two and two, but that

1685
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:50,479
Speaker 1: two and two, you know, they have a loss to

1686
01:12:50,479 --> 01:12:52,320
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, and they have a loss to

1687
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:54,720
Speaker 1: the Bengals, right, and they have a win that was

1688
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:56,599
Speaker 1: a tough win over the Colts. It was a good

1689
01:12:56,680 --> 01:12:58,880
Speaker 1: game for them and it went over this time. So

1690
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:01,640
Speaker 1: you know, you start talking about the Eagles portion of

1691
01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:05,519
Speaker 1: this man, Philly's like sort of that test. You can

1692
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:07,200
Speaker 1: look at it and be like, Okay, what do you

1693
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 1: look like against a very good defensive? For what do

1694
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:12,280
Speaker 1: you look like against a very good team? I know

1695
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 1: the Eagles have been out of sink. It's funny to

1696
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:16,599
Speaker 1: me that the Eagles are so good that things don't

1697
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:18,880
Speaker 1: look quite right and they're still as good as they

1698
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:21,000
Speaker 1: are this year. I think this is a big like, hey,

1699
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 1: let's see where the Rams are. If the Rams are

1700
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:25,519
Speaker 1: legit will know even by how they show up in

1701
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:28,479
Speaker 1: this game, because frankly, the Eagles are the sort of

1702
01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:31,200
Speaker 1: team that really the proof is in the pudding with them.

1703
01:13:31,479 --> 01:13:32,880
Speaker 2: You know the question I have with the Rams. And

1704
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:35,000
Speaker 2: obviously we heard Kevin tell us that a Cooper Cup

1705
01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:37,879
Speaker 2: will probably play today. But should he play and eventually

1706
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 2: down the road when he's not healthy and playing regularly,

1707
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:44,639
Speaker 2: what happens when he comes back? For our guy Puka Nakua,

1708
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:46,559
Speaker 2: what happens to him? He's not going to catch those

1709
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:49,519
Speaker 2: fifteen passes a game. You know what's going to happen now?

1710
01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:52,599
Speaker 2: With these weapons? Will Sean McVay use both weapons. He's

1711
01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 2: somewhat of an offensive genius. I think that could create

1712
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:56,200
Speaker 2: a problem.

1713
01:13:56,439 --> 01:14:00,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the target share is going to be interesting

1714
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:03,719
Speaker 1: thing for Pookinakua when Cooper comes back. Also, the comfort

1715
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:07,680
Speaker 1: that has been quickly developed for the Rams offense. I

1716
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:09,560
Speaker 1: don't ever want to say you're gonna have to redevelop

1717
01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:12,080
Speaker 1: some level of chemistry with Cooper cup because I'm not

1718
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:14,559
Speaker 1: that silly. But there is going to be a difference

1719
01:14:14,600 --> 01:14:17,280
Speaker 1: in just who's used to being fed where, when and

1720
01:14:17,320 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 1: in what situations. It will take a second to get

1721
01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:20,840
Speaker 1: used to for sure for the Rams.

1722
01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:23,840
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about the Rams. Matthew Stafford. He's got

1723
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:25,439
Speaker 2: five I in ts this far this year, and I

1724
01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:28,080
Speaker 2: will say this not all his fault, okay, but when

1725
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:30,599
Speaker 2: you have those interceptions in the turnovers, it puts your

1726
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:33,639
Speaker 2: defense in a real tough spot. Eagles win this one today,

1727
01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:35,960
Speaker 2: not by a lot, but they do win this game today.

1728
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:38,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you on the Eagles. I think the

1729
01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:41,000
Speaker 1: Eagles win this game. But it feels like this is

1730
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:43,479
Speaker 1: one of those win win situations for the Rams if

1731
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:46,400
Speaker 1: they lose, but there can can They're at least competitive

1732
01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 1: in the process. People will still be like, oh, look

1733
01:14:48,479 --> 01:14:50,479
Speaker 1: at this Rams team. They're plucky. It's my favorite word

1734
01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 1: right now. The Rams are just plucky.

1735
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 2: There you go, all right. He's Jason fitzim Andy Furman.

1776
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:40,040
Speaker 1: the YouTube rabbit hole a couple of days ago and

1777
01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:43,799
Speaker 1: found the uh the never before heard in my life

1778
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:47,320
Speaker 1: verse from Thriller by Vincent Price that didn't make the recording,

1779
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:49,559
Speaker 1: and it was a delight to listen to. So in

1780
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:52,880
Speaker 1: honor of Vincent Price, I'm taking Jerwin Price. No idea

1781
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:54,680
Speaker 1: if there's a relation, but that's the first thing that

1782
01:16:54,760 --> 01:16:58,000
Speaker 1: came to mind, as follows. So there you go, Thriller, Thriller.

1783
01:16:58,120 --> 01:16:59,000
Speaker 2: I like your logic.

1784
01:16:59,240 --> 01:16:59,439
Speaker 3: I do.

1785
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:01,720
Speaker 2: I love you logic. But I'll tell you what I'm

1786
01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:03,960
Speaker 2: going with the Humphrey for all the Humphries in the world,

1787
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:07,120
Speaker 2: for everybody who's named Humphrey, I'm with you. I don't

1788
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:09,719
Speaker 2: know any Humphrees, but there's gotta be one out there,

1789
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:11,280
Speaker 2: and if there is, you could even call in.

1790
01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:13,599
Speaker 1: But I'm going with all the Humphries about Bogart.

1791
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:19,240
Speaker 2: Okay, oh, Humphrey, But that that's a first name, not usual.

1792
01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 2: Humphrey is the first name. It's like mister Humphrey would

1793
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:23,280
Speaker 2: be a last name, don't you think.

1794
01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:26,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like mister Humphrey call us, let us

1795
01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:27,680
Speaker 1: know if you're related to this.

1796
01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:31,720
Speaker 2: Well, missus Humphrey really no, Missus Humphrey, all right.

1797
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:35,000
Speaker 6: Next, the League of Legends World Championships are finally upon

1798
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:38,439
Speaker 6: us and the bds E Sports is taking on the

1799
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:42,599
Speaker 6: Golden Dragons later tonight at nine pm Pacific Standard time.

1800
01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:46,679
Speaker 6: Bds E Sports is what plus one oh five, while

1801
01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:49,400
Speaker 6: Golden Guardians are minus one thirty five.

1802
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:53,759
Speaker 1: Golden Guardians or Golden Dragons say Golden Dragons at first.

1803
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 6: Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Golden Dragons Golden Dragons.

1804
01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:58,519
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, look, I mean, if I have to make

1805
01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:01,880
Speaker 1: the choice here between an acronym that sounds weird or

1806
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:03,519
Speaker 1: a dragon made of gold, I'm going to go with

1807
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:06,360
Speaker 1: the dragon made of gold plus the Golden Knights. I'm

1808
01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:08,960
Speaker 1: gonna sitting here in my Golden Knights Stanley Cup Champion

1809
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:11,920
Speaker 1: hoodie while you give me that. So the fact that

1810
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:14,000
Speaker 1: the word golden is in it is enough reason. But yeah,

1811
01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:18,400
Speaker 1: fire breathing gold dragon beats BDS whatever. As we get

1812
01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:20,560
Speaker 1: into this one, I'm all in on the Golden Dragons.

1813
01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 2: You know, honestly, I was going to go Golden Dragons.

1814
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:26,200
Speaker 2: I really was. But the fact that fits is a loser.

1815
01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:28,800
Speaker 2: I'm going with the other one because you don't read this.

1816
01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:31,760
Speaker 2: The only reason because the Golden Dragons to me, has

1817
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:35,080
Speaker 2: everything together. They're tough, they're big, it's impressive. I like

1818
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:37,719
Speaker 2: the name. They probably walk around with their T shirts

1819
01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:41,160
Speaker 2: out there, but with the hoodies. But I'm you picked them,

1820
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:42,600
Speaker 2: so I'm not going to go there. So I'll go

1821
01:18:42,680 --> 01:18:43,920
Speaker 2: with the other team. And I don't even.

1822
01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:45,719
Speaker 1: Say if I win this week, I want a golden

1823
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:47,680
Speaker 1: Dragon is my prize. If you could work, I'll see

1824
01:18:47,720 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 1: what I can do.

1825
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:50,320
Speaker 3: I'll get you a golden Dragons, Scott, we.

1826
01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:54,679
Speaker 6: Can get okay perfect Next next, in the International Handball

1827

Speaker 6: Women's Championship League, r K Krim is taking on Viper's

1828
01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:02,719
Speaker 6: Christian Sand. Rkri is plus one seventy while right Vipers

01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:08,040
Speaker 1: Did you just say Vipers is the first name?

1831
01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:09,599
Speaker 6: Vipers, Christian Sand?

1832
01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:11,960
Speaker 1: And if your name is Vipers, I'm not betting against.

1833
01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 6: I don't know if I mean a name or a

1834
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:14,920
Speaker 6: team name, to be honest, but I don't.

1835
01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 1: I tried to look, you know, in my mind, it's

1836
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:20,040
Speaker 1: somebody's first name. Some kid was named Vipers because his

1837
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:25,040
Speaker 1: parents thought that'd be bad as.

1838
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:26,639
Speaker 2: Vipers coming off some lunch day, Viprus, get a drink.

1839
01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:27,840
Speaker 1: Come on, what do you want for? What do you

1840
01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:28,799
Speaker 1: want for lunch? Vipers?

1841
01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:30,519
Speaker 3: You want to that's sweet?

1842
01:19:31,439 --> 01:19:32,040
Speaker 6: That's sweet.

1843
01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:35,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh so you got vipers.

1844
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:37,559
Speaker 1: Huh I got vipers. I'm all over yeah, you know.

1845
01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:40,760
Speaker 2: This sounds crazy. I'm going with all K Crimson because

1846
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:43,799
Speaker 2: I think I've heard the name here on a Sunday before.

1847
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:46,479
Speaker 2: I think our K Crimson is a pretty good player

1848
01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:49,000
Speaker 2: in women's handbles. Not going with the Crimson.

1849
01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:51,479
Speaker 1: Unfair advantaged.

1850
01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:53,800
Speaker 3: Well I don't.

1851
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:58,040
Speaker 2: That's it. That's it, Okay, we'll see what happened next.

Speaker 3: Sunday music entertainment, and a long history here and now

1866
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:52,879
Speaker 3: dominating the fantasy football world. So we'll do some sleeper

1867
01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:56,719
Speaker 3: talk next week. Our next hour, I should say next week.

1868
01:20:57,160 --> 01:20:59,880
Speaker 3: I'm already advancing the calendar. It's that early in the morning,

1869
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:02,799
Speaker 3: because guys, I've been fueled by hate in the overnight.

1870
01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:07,000
Speaker 3: In my sporting universe, normally a man of great positivity, clarity,

1871
01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:10,799
Speaker 3: and calm. All of those things are untrue for anybody

1872
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:13,120
Speaker 3: that's known me for more than five minutes. But for

1873
01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:15,880
Speaker 3: the sake of argument, that's where we're at. I stayed

1874
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:18,360
Speaker 3: up late so you didn't have to watching Arizona and

1875
01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:21,519
Speaker 3: USC deep into the night where it ended on two

1876
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:25,400
Speaker 3: point conversion tries. It becomes one of these scourges of

1877
01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:30,200
Speaker 3: my sports existence, how we try to end great contests

1878
01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:35,799
Speaker 3: with terrible rules in the end, like penalty kicks and soccer,

1879
01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:40,360
Speaker 3: the ghost runner on second base in baseball, and then

1880
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:43,120
Speaker 3: when you get to the second overtime that you have

1881
01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:47,280
Speaker 3: to go for two, followed by the third overtime where

1882
01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:50,799
Speaker 3: you have nothing but two point conversions. Gentlemen, good morning.

1883
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:53,760
Speaker 3: I feel the pain of staying up way too late.

1884
01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:56,280
Speaker 3: How are we all doing this fine morning. What's going on? Andy?

1885
01:21:56,920 --> 01:21:59,320
Speaker 2: Everything's wonderful. You know what you hit the nail on

1886
01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:02,040
Speaker 2: that you don't normally say a lot of small things,

1887
01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:04,080
Speaker 2: let's be honest, rogue, but you hit it on that

1888
01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 2: head right now. You really did? You know? With these

1889
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:09,519
Speaker 2: overtime games soccer? To me, these guys play one hundred

1890
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:11,840
Speaker 2: and twenty minutes and it comes down to penalty kicks?

1891
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:14,599
Speaker 2: Are you freaking kidding me? And I happen to watch

1892
01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:18,840
Speaker 2: that Netflix special on David Beckham if you haven't seen that,

1893
01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:21,840
Speaker 2: that's wonderful. I mean, really, David be I mean I

1894
01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:24,599
Speaker 2: have a whole new feeling for I love him. I

1895
01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:26,920
Speaker 2: love him, I love his wife, Posh for the spice

1896
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:28,679
Speaker 2: girl that you probably And I'll tell you what, Jason,

1897
01:22:28,680 --> 01:22:31,000
Speaker 2: you probably know Posh you probably.

1898
01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:33,880
Speaker 1: No, No, no, I wish I knew Posh Passua, look

1899
01:22:33,880 --> 01:22:36,559
Speaker 1: at Pasua were friends. That'd be a first introduction. But like, hey, guys,

1900
01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:39,519
Speaker 1: I've Jason Fitz. Everybody calls me fits and by the way, uh,

1901
01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:40,599
Speaker 1: Paspa is my friend.

1902
01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:42,800
Speaker 3: Like, I'll tell you what I want, what I really

1903
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:43,360
Speaker 3: really want.

1904
01:22:44,040 --> 01:22:48,840
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I guess yeah, no, But you're dead on

1905
01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:51,800
Speaker 2: with with the over the overtime deals that baseball rules

1906
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:53,840
Speaker 2: is the most ridiculous rule ever heard of. Because you

1907
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:57,160
Speaker 2: got a guy in second base, you get two sacrifice flies, bing, bing,

1908
01:22:57,200 --> 01:22:57,840
Speaker 2: you win the game.

1909
01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:03,080
Speaker 1: You guys are so right and so wrong all at once.

1910
01:23:03,320 --> 01:23:06,200
Speaker 1: Penalty kicks are a delight. Like, I love penalty kicks.

1911
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:09,840
Speaker 1: It's traumatic, it's enticing. In fact, I'm a big hockey fan.

1912
01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:12,680
Speaker 1: And penalty shots. I love penalty shots. It's exciting. It's

1913
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:14,920
Speaker 1: a great way to end a regular season game. I

1914
01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:17,559
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of love to that. That being said,

1915
01:23:17,880 --> 01:23:21,599
Speaker 1: college football over time, inherently, top to bottom, is trash.

1916
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:25,360
Speaker 1: It's poorly constructed. None of it is meaningful. It's awful

1917
01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:28,680
Speaker 1: in every possible way. NFL overtime rules are better than

1918
01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:31,360
Speaker 1: college football overtime rules, and people love to yell about

1919
01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:33,599
Speaker 1: the NFL portion of it. I still think it's broken

1920
01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:35,679
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I don't think frankly, I think sudden

1921
01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:37,519
Speaker 1: death is the way to go. I don't care if

1922
01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:41,320
Speaker 1: somebody gets the opportunity to possess the ball one more time, like,

1923
01:23:41,479 --> 01:23:43,840
Speaker 1: there's still going to be inevitability to that. But the

1924
01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:47,280
Speaker 1: fact that you're giving everybody the ball so close to scoring,

1925
01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:49,559
Speaker 1: and then you're just saying, okay, like if they wanted

1926
01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:52,439
Speaker 1: to do possession from possession but start on the other

1927
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:54,600
Speaker 1: end of the field, I'd at least respect it. But

1928
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:57,599
Speaker 1: you're basically putting them every team in a situation where

1929
01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:00,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna ask for these little trick stupid plays that

1930
01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:02,240
Speaker 1: may or may not work, and the best team doesn't

1931
01:24:02,320 --> 01:24:05,360
Speaker 1: always win through the course of overtime anyway, the way

1932
01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:08,479
Speaker 1: it's constructed is just such an advantage to offense. I

1933
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:10,240
Speaker 1: hate every second of college football over time.

1934
01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:11,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I really, well, you know what I mean.

1935
01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:13,720
Speaker 2: You make a point, dude, the sudden death thing, I

1936
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:15,880
Speaker 2: throw it out the window as well. Just have an

1937
01:24:15,880 --> 01:24:18,639
Speaker 2: extra period, play like an extra ten minute, eight minutes,

1938
01:24:18,640 --> 01:24:21,160
Speaker 2: whatever it may be, because a sudden death the other

1939
01:24:21,200 --> 01:24:22,880
Speaker 2: team may not get a chance to get the po

1940
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:26,200
Speaker 2: I just play an extra period, put some time on

1941
01:24:26,240 --> 01:24:28,360
Speaker 2: the clock, make it five minutes, make it eight minute,

1942
01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:30,479
Speaker 2: whatever it may be. But I disagree with you with

1943
01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:33,040
Speaker 2: the with the penalty kicks and sockey hats dramas. There's

1944
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:34,680
Speaker 2: no doubt about that. But the point there is to

1945
01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:36,760
Speaker 2: play one hundred and twenty plus minutes and to come

1946
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:38,160
Speaker 2: down to that it's a joke.

1947
01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:41,759
Speaker 3: It's it's ridiculous as one who's watched many a tournament,

1948
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:44,559
Speaker 3: and that maybe this is my own hatred of it,

1949
01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:48,800
Speaker 3: for the amount of time invested in children's athletics, you know,

1950
01:24:48,840 --> 01:24:52,480
Speaker 3: with my daughter's squads, the number of times that tournaments

1951
01:24:52,479 --> 01:24:55,960
Speaker 3: that you've traveled thousands of miles to go to with

1952
01:24:56,120 --> 01:24:59,720
Speaker 3: thousands of dollars and played four or five games and

1953
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:03,840
Speaker 3: horrible heat and conditions and everything else to come down

1954
01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:06,679
Speaker 3: to you, all right, does Jane accidentally kick the ball

1955
01:25:06,720 --> 01:25:10,559
Speaker 3: over the crossbar or not? After playing all those games?

1956
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:14,240
Speaker 3: Just irks me. I don't know that she's ever played

1957
01:25:14,280 --> 01:25:16,879
Speaker 3: any with anybody named Janie, So I didn't throw anybody

1958
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:17,599
Speaker 3: under the bus.

1959
01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:20,479
Speaker 1: No, But I'm I'm adult enough to admit that I'd

1960
01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:23,720
Speaker 1: never considered that portion of the angle. Like I don't

1961
01:25:23,720 --> 01:25:25,519
Speaker 1: have kids, so I think just think of everything as

1962
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:28,519
Speaker 1: sitting in the stands as a fan, and I think

1963
01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:32,320
Speaker 1: especially for soccer, like I love going to Nashville, for example,

1964
01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:35,599
Speaker 1: the Nationalists soccer stadium is beautiful. Love going to games.

1965
01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm just there for the experience, right, Like, I'm just

1966
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:39,880
Speaker 1: there to have a good time. So it's almost like

1967
01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:41,559
Speaker 1: going to a concert where you don't really care about

1968
01:25:41,560 --> 01:25:43,120
Speaker 1: the band, so you just want to watch a bunch

1969
01:25:43,160 --> 01:25:44,960
Speaker 1: of upbeat songs and have a good time. That's how

1970
01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:47,280
Speaker 1: I am with it. If I had skin in the

1971
01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:49,320
Speaker 1: game in the way that you just mentioned, it would

1972
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:50,679
Speaker 1: completely change my perspective.

1973
01:25:51,720 --> 01:25:55,080
Speaker 2: You're a athlete, you played dodgeball. What about dodgeballing over.

1974
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:58,200
Speaker 1: To the I was a fact dodge I took dodgeballs

1975
01:25:58,200 --> 01:25:59,760
Speaker 1: to the face, all right, Like I wasn't you know,

1976
01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:04,200
Speaker 1: like I've been. My athletic career was not one of

1977
01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:08,200
Speaker 1: a tremendous success and prowess. Like I'm willing to admit that.

1978
01:26:08,240 --> 01:26:11,680
Speaker 1: But you know, hey, anything that ends my dodgeball to

1979
01:26:11,720 --> 01:26:14,400
Speaker 1: the face experience faster, I'm in for. So give me

1980
01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:15,120
Speaker 1: some dodgeball.

1981
01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:16,880
Speaker 2: Going to overtime is tied. I don't know.

1982
01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:24,400
Speaker 3: Don't you remember the movie? So yeah, each had one

1983
01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:28,760
Speaker 3: and then remember Lafleur had had blindfolded himself and then

1984
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:31,320
Speaker 3: he felt the force and he dodged it, and then

1985
01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:33,880
Speaker 3: he took down why Goodman and sent him down a

1986
01:26:33,880 --> 01:26:38,160
Speaker 3: spiral to fried chicken pizza and uh, being overweight after

1987
01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:41,400
Speaker 3: you know, the body being a temple that's what happens,

1988
01:26:41,439 --> 01:26:45,479
Speaker 3: the shame, the degradation of dodgeball. Okay, based on what

1989
01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:49,000
Speaker 3: the movie had to say. Anyway, Anyway, Arizona loses to

1990
01:26:49,240 --> 01:26:53,160
Speaker 3: USC and and maybe part of that angst from that

1991
01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:55,120
Speaker 3: game fellas comes out of the fact that I do

1992
01:26:55,200 --> 01:26:57,800
Speaker 3: broadcast out of Los Angeles. I have a lot of

1993
01:26:57,960 --> 01:27:01,519
Speaker 3: USC people who just say it are starting to get

1994
01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:05,960
Speaker 3: insufferable again like they were during the Pete Carroll era

1995
01:27:07,120 --> 01:27:10,400
Speaker 3: with Caleb Williams and strutting around and everything. So for

1996
01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:14,480
Speaker 3: them to suddenly have a bunch of issues against Arizona

1997
01:27:14,520 --> 01:27:18,320
Speaker 3: again this time at home, you know, it was kind

1998
01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:20,360
Speaker 3: of delicious theater and I may or may not have

1999
01:27:20,439 --> 01:27:23,080
Speaker 3: called for the upset on Friday Night Show with Jason Smith,

2000
01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:25,479
Speaker 3: So you know, I was kind of wanting to be

2001
01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:29,599
Speaker 3: right because, let's face it, in the college and pro

2002
01:27:29,640 --> 01:27:32,559
Speaker 3: football worlds this year, trying to get things right has

2003
01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:35,040
Speaker 3: been really bit of a roll at the dice in

2004
01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:36,920
Speaker 3: a lot of ways, based on the way some of

2005
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:39,320
Speaker 3: these teams have come out and played through the first

2006
01:27:39,400 --> 01:27:41,080
Speaker 3: quarter of the season. I know, you guys were going

2007
01:27:41,120 --> 01:27:45,160
Speaker 3: through some surprises, some good, some bad, some ugly through

2008
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:48,320
Speaker 3: the first quarter of the season, Andy, what's the temperature

2009
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:52,080
Speaker 3: of things around the greater Cincinnati era right now? Is

2010
01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:56,680
Speaker 3: today the Operation Shutdown game? Should Cincinnati lose.

2011
01:27:57,400 --> 01:27:59,200
Speaker 2: Well, I think this is it. I mean, they lose

2012
01:27:59,240 --> 01:28:00,760
Speaker 2: today and I think the will I think they will

2013
01:28:00,760 --> 01:28:03,320
Speaker 2: lose Arizona because I said to Fitzy early on, I

2014
01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:06,439
Speaker 2: think the Arizona defense is better than the Bengals offense.

2015
01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:08,120
Speaker 2: That's the problem. And I've got a lot of guys

2016
01:28:08,120 --> 01:28:11,599
Speaker 2: on the injury shelf, and certainly I think it's easy

2017
01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:13,559
Speaker 2: to scheme against the Bengals right now.

2018
01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:14,000
Speaker 1: What do you do?

2019
01:28:14,040 --> 01:28:16,479
Speaker 2: You blitz because he can't move, Joe Burrow can't move,

2020
01:28:16,560 --> 01:28:19,400
Speaker 2: he's not mobile. You just go after him my dead center,

2021
01:28:19,840 --> 01:28:22,080
Speaker 2: head on and you get him. He'll either throw a

2022
01:28:22,080 --> 01:28:24,880
Speaker 2: bad pass, throw an I int oh, you sack him.

2023
01:28:24,920 --> 01:28:27,360
Speaker 2: That's what you do. So and I saw what Arizona

2024
01:28:27,439 --> 01:28:30,360
Speaker 2: did in the red zone against Dallas. When they beat Dallas,

2025
01:28:30,439 --> 01:28:32,559
Speaker 2: they stopped them four out of five times. They could

2026
01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:33,919
Speaker 2: easily do that to the Bengals.

2027
01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:38,680
Speaker 3: Bengals sitting all the way down at thirty first in

2028
01:28:38,800 --> 01:28:41,840
Speaker 3: scoring offense right now, only the Giants are more feudal?

2029
01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:45,439
Speaker 1: Is not some point though, where we put this on

2030
01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:48,120
Speaker 1: the coaching staff. I mean, I put on you right

2031
01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:50,760
Speaker 1: now if you're gonna play him, which I wouldn't have

2032
01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:52,320
Speaker 1: done in the first place. But if you're going to

2033
01:28:52,360 --> 01:28:54,600
Speaker 1: play him, then don't you have to figure out some

2034
01:28:54,720 --> 01:28:57,439
Speaker 1: way to adjust your offense. And I'm not just talking

2035
01:28:57,439 --> 01:28:59,920
Speaker 1: about adjust your offense as in, don't have Joe Burrow

2036
01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:02,000
Speaker 1: move around. I'm talking about if you know to your

2037
01:29:02,040 --> 01:29:05,280
Speaker 1: point that you're gonna be blitzed, then you've got one

2038
01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:07,720
Speaker 1: of the best white receivers in the world. Like, yeah,

2039
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:10,920
Speaker 1: find some way to be creative and slow that blitz down.

2040
01:29:10,960 --> 01:29:14,559
Speaker 1: Like I just this, this matches something. And look, it's

2041
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:18,440
Speaker 1: always hard to to evaluate coaches until they have great quarterbacks.

2042
01:29:18,479 --> 01:29:20,120
Speaker 1: But if you go all the way back to the

2043
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:23,000
Speaker 1: rookie season for Zach Taylor and Joe Burrow working together,

2044
01:29:23,479 --> 01:29:25,639
Speaker 1: I felt like back then there was no offensive line

2045
01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:27,360
Speaker 1: and they were still just letting Burrow throw the ball

2046
01:29:27,400 --> 01:29:30,840
Speaker 1: sixty sixty five times a game. It was like coaching malpractice. Like,

2047
01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:34,080
Speaker 1: at some point, do we not expect some great creativity

2048
01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:36,360
Speaker 1: from good offensive minds to be able to figure out

2049
01:29:36,360 --> 01:29:38,920
Speaker 1: a way to protect an injured quarterback, because we're certainly

2050
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:40,080
Speaker 1: not seeing that for the Bengals.

2051
01:29:40,120 --> 01:29:43,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, to this point, you've got Chase, you know, talking

2052
01:29:43,080 --> 01:29:45,919
Speaker 3: about being open all day. He's got forty one targets.

2053
01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:48,800
Speaker 3: So ten a game, I mean, that's pretty much what

2054
01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:52,080
Speaker 3: you're anticipating, right ten to twelve, especially when you've got

2055
01:29:52,120 --> 01:29:55,519
Speaker 3: Higgins and Boyden. Now, Higgins's gonna miss today's game from

2056
01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:58,759
Speaker 3: all reports as we flow through, but you know they

2057
01:29:58,800 --> 01:30:02,040
Speaker 3: were on the list of the surprises, but you played Burrow.

2058
01:30:02,120 --> 01:30:05,360
Speaker 3: To your point, Jason, I agree fully, it's the you're

2059
01:30:05,400 --> 01:30:09,320
Speaker 3: playing for January, not for September. And I know based

2060
01:30:09,400 --> 01:30:11,320
Speaker 3: on the schedule, and this is where you get into

2061
01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:14,640
Speaker 3: in addition to all the dopey overtime and end of

2062
01:30:14,760 --> 01:30:19,640
Speaker 3: game rules to things. I hate the NFL scheduling mechanism

2063
01:30:19,760 --> 01:30:22,640
Speaker 3: as it works in some of these cases where you

2064
01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:26,920
Speaker 3: play just a ridiculous number of games against division fos,

2065
01:30:27,080 --> 01:30:30,800
Speaker 3: either early in the season or you have one of

2066
01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:33,760
Speaker 3: those All right, we've got you, followed by you know

2067
01:30:33,840 --> 01:30:37,120
Speaker 3: whatever team here, and then we play you again basically

2068
01:30:37,200 --> 01:30:39,160
Speaker 3: a home and a home. You know, in the final

2069
01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:42,280
Speaker 3: three weeks of a season. Well by then everybody's beaten

2070
01:30:42,280 --> 01:30:44,760
Speaker 3: the hell, so it's like which team looks more like

2071
01:30:45,040 --> 01:30:48,680
Speaker 3: they were supposed to in September. You've got a definitive

2072
01:30:48,720 --> 01:30:52,599
Speaker 3: advantage down the stretch. Like you look at Baltimore's schedule

2073
01:30:52,680 --> 01:30:57,200
Speaker 3: thus far. After today, they will have played all three

2074
01:30:57,520 --> 01:31:00,920
Speaker 3: of their road division games after five weeks of a season.

2075
01:31:02,080 --> 01:31:04,599
Speaker 3: Tell me how that makes any sense. They had Week

2076
01:31:04,640 --> 01:31:08,360
Speaker 3: two against Cincinnati, they played at Cleveland last week, and

2077
01:31:08,400 --> 01:31:12,720
Speaker 3: they played Pittsburgh this morning slash early afternoon. I mean,

2078
01:31:12,760 --> 01:31:15,200
Speaker 3: that's just scheduling malpractice.

2079
01:31:17,280 --> 01:31:20,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what fixes that. I'm the first to

2080
01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:24,080
Speaker 1: admit that the NFL schedule making is complicated, but there

2081
01:31:24,120 --> 01:31:26,280
Speaker 1: should be basic guidelines that we're not going to do

2082
01:31:26,320 --> 01:31:29,400
Speaker 1: the following things right like. And that's to your point.

2083
01:31:29,520 --> 01:31:31,800
Speaker 1: There's got to be some balance in it. And one

2084
01:31:31,800 --> 01:31:34,160
Speaker 1: of the most difficult things because I've always thought it's ridiculous.

2085
01:31:34,160 --> 01:31:37,000
Speaker 1: We all flock to the NFL schedule release every year,

2086
01:31:37,360 --> 01:31:39,320
Speaker 1: and it's funny to me because we know at the

2087
01:31:39,400 --> 01:31:41,880
Speaker 1: last day of the season what the opponent's going to be.

2088
01:31:41,960 --> 01:31:43,920
Speaker 1: In a quick Google search will tell you fourteen of

2089
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:46,840
Speaker 1: your seventeen opponents for your favorite team. How daring next

2090
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:47,599
Speaker 1: five years?

2091
01:31:47,600 --> 01:31:50,800
Speaker 3: But you know, okay, just dare you try to take

2092
01:31:50,840 --> 01:31:56,360
Speaker 3: away people's holidays, but we travel agents everywhere celebrate.

2093
01:31:57,280 --> 01:31:59,240
Speaker 1: You are right, though, that this is the one part

2094
01:31:59,280 --> 01:32:01,040
Speaker 1: of it that we flocked to it. And it's like

2095
01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:03,880
Speaker 1: you've had months to figure this out and you still

2096
01:32:03,960 --> 01:32:04,640
Speaker 1: stink at it.

2097
01:32:05,400 --> 01:32:07,840
Speaker 2: But I will say this, I give them credit in

2098
01:32:07,880 --> 01:32:11,480
Speaker 2: this regard that until they made that change in the schedule,

2099
01:32:11,800 --> 01:32:13,880
Speaker 2: a lot of these teams that had clinched would rest

2100
01:32:13,880 --> 01:32:16,439
Speaker 2: their players the last two games or maybe last three games.

2101
01:32:16,479 --> 01:32:19,080
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the Viking schedule that just popped up. Okay,

2102
01:32:19,240 --> 01:32:21,920
Speaker 2: their last three games Detroit, Green Bay, Detroit, so at

2103
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:24,519
Speaker 2: least are division games. Will they be meaningful? I don't know.

2104
01:32:24,640 --> 01:32:27,000
Speaker 2: They may very well be meaningful. But the point is this.

2105
01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:30,080
Speaker 2: They put them on that schedule because in the past

2106
01:32:30,280 --> 01:32:33,759
Speaker 2: they would play non conference games, non games that count,

2107
01:32:33,920 --> 01:32:37,120
Speaker 2: and these teams that had clinched playoffs would rest their regulars,

2108
01:32:37,200 --> 01:32:37,880
Speaker 2: which wasn't fair.

2109
01:32:37,960 --> 01:32:40,240
Speaker 3: Oh, we didn't have a lot of that. I mean really,

2110
01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:42,040
Speaker 3: the only team that got to do that with any

2111
01:32:42,080 --> 01:32:46,320
Speaker 3: regularity was Indianapolis. And maybe you saw it a little bit,

2112
01:32:46,680 --> 01:32:49,439
Speaker 3: you know, a player here or there, but it never

2113
01:32:49,479 --> 01:32:52,360
Speaker 3: got to be like load management in the NBA, where

2114
01:32:52,400 --> 01:32:54,719
Speaker 3: you'd have guys shut down for months at a time.

2115
01:32:55,080 --> 01:32:58,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm not like, look, I'll be the one

2116
01:32:58,240 --> 01:33:00,240
Speaker 1: idiot that is, But how many people are going to

2117
01:33:00,280 --> 01:33:03,200
Speaker 1: be flocking to that juggernaut of a last week matchup

2118
01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:06,639
Speaker 1: between the Broncos and the Raiders. Like what you're saying,

2119
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:12,960
Speaker 1: I'll be there two baby, let's go. I'll be watching

2120
01:33:12,960 --> 01:33:15,760
Speaker 1: it in my misery, realizing that. You know, in that moment,

2121
01:33:15,840 --> 01:33:17,479
Speaker 1: I'll be like, this team stinks and they're never going

2122
01:33:17,560 --> 01:33:19,000
Speaker 1: to be better. And then about a month later, I'll

2123
01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:20,880
Speaker 1: be like, you know, what's not that bad? It's four

2124
01:33:20,920 --> 01:33:21,599
Speaker 1: or five changes.

2125
01:33:21,680 --> 01:33:23,760
Speaker 3: That's what's happening in Chicago right now. Look at the

2126
01:33:23,760 --> 01:33:26,639
Speaker 3: schedule of the next five weeks. You beat a bad

2127
01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:30,120
Speaker 3: commander's team and everybody's excited. Let me just let me

2128
01:33:30,200 --> 01:33:32,920
Speaker 3: just finish the loop here. Well, at least for a moment.

2129
01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:35,920
Speaker 3: They've got a bandage on it, and somehow we're able

2130
01:33:35,960 --> 01:33:39,960
Speaker 3: to trade Chase Claypool. I think people pop bottles of champagne.

2131
01:33:40,320 --> 01:33:42,800
Speaker 3: Uh when that happened. I mean, there are very few

2132
01:33:42,840 --> 01:33:46,439
Speaker 3: times that you trade away a player and everybody looks around, going,

2133
01:33:46,640 --> 01:33:50,599
Speaker 3: we got something back for the guy. Everybody, we got

2134
01:33:50,600 --> 01:33:54,280
Speaker 3: something back for the guy. Baltimore. The final six weeks

2135
01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:57,920
Speaker 3: of the season, they have one division game. They finished

2136
01:33:57,960 --> 01:34:02,040
Speaker 3: the season with a home dating against Pittsburgh. They played

2137
01:34:02,120 --> 01:34:05,120
Speaker 3: Cleveland and Cincinnati before Thanksgiving.

2138
01:34:07,360 --> 01:34:09,800
Speaker 2: So and that's great because it could be an injury factor.

2139
01:34:09,840 --> 01:34:11,960
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's just lucky the way that worked out.

2140
01:34:12,120 --> 01:34:14,880
Speaker 2: Is it fair? I don't think it's fair. It's not right.

2141
01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:17,240
Speaker 3: But in the end, when we get into these scheduling

2142
01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:19,559
Speaker 3: algorithms and we start going, well, look how many miles

2143
01:34:19,600 --> 01:34:22,240
Speaker 3: they travel. Travel is not the same as thirty years ago,

2144
01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:25,519
Speaker 3: fellas you know, whenever we do those things, they're going

2145
01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:27,760
Speaker 3: to travel so many more miles because of this, Like.

2146
01:34:27,880 --> 01:34:30,160
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean travel in the NFL is it's a joke.

2147
01:34:30,400 --> 01:34:33,320
Speaker 3: Unless you're the Steelers because they've had like plane issues

2148
01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:34,400
Speaker 3: multiple weeks in a row.

2149
01:34:34,520 --> 01:34:37,040
Speaker 2: Well, unless you're going to London and Jacksonville stay there

2150
01:34:37,040 --> 01:34:39,000
Speaker 2: for an entire week for two games.

2151
01:34:38,720 --> 01:34:40,840
Speaker 3: And even then in London, then what do you do?

2152
01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:41,559
Speaker 3: Take a nap?

2153
01:34:42,600 --> 01:34:44,599
Speaker 1: And if you're the Steelers and you have plane issues,

2154
01:34:44,920 --> 01:34:46,639
Speaker 1: this isn't a hot take. Go buy a new plane.

2155
01:34:46,720 --> 01:34:48,320
Speaker 3: No, that's that's the thing. You gotta you gotta go

2156
01:34:48,360 --> 01:34:51,439
Speaker 3: find yourself another plane. There you go. See, we're solving

2179

01:36:12,120 --> 01:36:15,760
Speaker 3: referees are having a little issue with their site shadows

Speaker 3: the Chargers here on a beautiful Sunday night where I

2187
01:36:39,439 --> 01:36:41,840
Speaker 3: may or may not be inebriated with seventy thousand of

2188
01:36:41,880 --> 01:36:47,160
Speaker 3: my closest friends at New Orleans, Carolina and before November

2189
01:36:47,240 --> 01:36:52,479

2191
01:36:55,560 --> 01:36:57,240
Speaker 3: it's the Bears, let's see. Let's me.

2192
01:36:57,720 --> 01:37:00,720
Speaker 1: I just I gotta clarify something because telling you right

2193
01:37:00,720 --> 01:37:03,400
Speaker 1: now and behalf of Raiders fans everywhere, we're looking at

2194
01:37:03,400 --> 01:37:06,439
Speaker 1: the schedule and saying, Hey, the Packers are beatable. Got

2195
01:37:06,439 --> 01:37:07,280
Speaker 1: the Bears coming up.

2196
01:37:07,320 --> 01:37:08,160
Speaker 3: That's beatable.

2197
01:37:08,439 --> 01:37:11,280
Speaker 1: Like, so y'all looking at the Raiders like a winnable game.

2198
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:13,679
Speaker 1: Raiders fans are looking at the Bears and saying, yeah,

2199
01:37:13,720 --> 01:37:15,679
Speaker 1: we got that. Like Raiders about to run off three

2200
01:37:15,680 --> 01:37:17,960
Speaker 1: straight wins. So you know, I'm like, I feel good

2201
01:37:17,960 --> 01:37:21,000
Speaker 1: about where things are going. Like hear me speaking differently

2202
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:22,880
Speaker 1: about that game after it happens, good sir.

2203
01:37:23,439 --> 01:37:26,919
Speaker 2: Oh, and you have to realize one thing. The Chicago

2204
01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:29,240
Speaker 2: Bears do one thing. They win one game a year.

2205
01:37:29,280 --> 01:37:33,639
Speaker 2: They had not won after Thursday since October four, October

2206
01:37:33,680 --> 01:37:36,280
Speaker 2: the twenty fourth, twenty twenty two, so it's like one

2207
01:37:36,360 --> 01:37:39,800
Speaker 2: day a year. It's like Christmas really, so next October

2208
01:37:39,840 --> 01:37:40,720
Speaker 2: you'll get your next win.

2209
01:37:41,200 --> 01:37:44,599
Speaker 3: Look at you, Wow, you're lucky. There's thousands of miles

2210
01:37:44,680 --> 01:37:47,720
Speaker 3: separating us right now. Furman, I'm sorry that I can

2211
01:37:47,800 --> 01:37:49,400
Speaker 3: jump on you like a spider monkey.

2212
01:37:51,400 --> 01:37:52,120
Speaker 2: The Bengals.

2213
01:37:52,360 --> 01:37:53,479
Speaker 3: It's about of anger in that.

2214
01:37:55,000 --> 01:37:57,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is between the Bengals, the Bears, and the Raiders.

2215
01:37:57,840 --> 01:38:01,439
Speaker 1: On this show particularly, is there a show living more

2216
01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:04,439
Speaker 1: in the barrel of suck with three hosts Now hosts

2217
01:38:04,760 --> 01:38:05,720
Speaker 1: than the three of us are.

2218
01:38:05,800 --> 01:38:07,599
Speaker 3: Like, I'm just saying now we all need some more

2219
01:38:07,680 --> 01:38:12,480
Speaker 3: hostess based on the level of suck in those three teams,

2220
01:38:12,520 --> 01:38:15,800
Speaker 3: to try to eat our feelings. I did that the

2221
01:38:15,880 --> 01:38:18,600
Speaker 3: other day, as like, you know, after the passing of

2222
01:38:18,640 --> 01:38:22,160
Speaker 3: the Great Dick Budkis, I had made carnitis from scratch, so,

2223
01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:25,559
Speaker 3: you know, long process marinating all that fun stuff, and

2224
01:38:25,560 --> 01:38:27,000
Speaker 3: I'm like, you know what, I am now going to

2225
01:38:27,040 --> 01:38:28,679
Speaker 3: eat my feelings after this news.

2226
01:38:28,920 --> 01:38:32,280
Speaker 2: Maybe we disas too, what do we do?

2227
01:38:32,439 --> 01:38:33,720
Speaker 3: Karma's coming after us.

2228
01:38:34,280 --> 01:38:36,760
Speaker 2: Maybe so I maybe, you know, maybe we suck so

2229
01:38:36,800 --> 01:38:37,880
Speaker 2: we get the teams that suck.

2230
01:38:38,120 --> 01:38:38,479
Speaker 3: I don't know.

2231
01:38:38,600 --> 01:38:41,400
Speaker 1: Wait, wait, okay, okay, here's the thing. I will argue

2232
01:38:41,600 --> 01:38:43,519
Speaker 1: that I have probably done plenty of things in my

2233
01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:46,800
Speaker 1: life to deserve maybe even five years. I'll give you

2234
01:38:46,840 --> 01:38:49,519
Speaker 1: six seven years of it. I remember boys, and this

2235
01:38:49,560 --> 01:38:51,920
Speaker 1: is all my fault, but I remember that the rich

2236
01:38:51,960 --> 01:38:55,080
Speaker 1: Cannon era for my beloved Raiders, And after the Super

2237
01:38:55,120 --> 01:38:57,280
Speaker 1: Bowl loss, I remember looking at one of my buddies

2238
01:38:57,280 --> 01:38:59,080
Speaker 1: and saying, you know, because that was the string he

2239
01:38:59,080 --> 01:39:01,559
Speaker 1: had lost the Super Bowl and weird ways lost to

2240
01:39:01,680 --> 01:39:05,400
Speaker 1: the tuck rule game that Tony Saragusa hit on again

2241
01:39:05,439 --> 01:39:08,439
Speaker 1: and that levels the Raiders in the playoffs against the Ravens,

2242
01:39:08,680 --> 01:39:10,920
Speaker 1: like year after years weird endings in the playoffs. And

2243
01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:12,760
Speaker 1: I remember looking at my buddy and I said, you

2244
01:39:12,760 --> 01:39:14,720
Speaker 1: know what, I'd rather not even make the playoffs and

2245
01:39:15,000 --> 01:39:17,640
Speaker 1: get hurt this way every single year in the playoffs,

2246
01:39:17,680 --> 01:39:20,599
Speaker 1: not realizing that by saying that, I was essentially saying

2247
01:39:20,640 --> 01:39:22,840
Speaker 1: candy Man in the mirror, because like at that point,

2248
01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:26,280
Speaker 1: thirteen straight it was thirteen straight years of double digit

2249
01:39:26,360 --> 01:39:29,599
Speaker 1: losses after that. So I realized, like, but hey, football gods,

2250
01:39:29,600 --> 01:39:32,040
Speaker 1: hear me loud, hear me proud. Here I realized the

2251
01:39:32,080 --> 01:39:34,479
Speaker 1: stupidity of my ways. I would take anything just to

2252
01:39:34,520 --> 01:39:36,360
Speaker 1: have a few years of playoffs back to back to

2253
01:39:36,360 --> 01:39:39,040
Speaker 1: back in a reasonably good football team. I am sorry,

2254
01:39:39,040 --> 01:39:40,519
Speaker 1: football gods, it's my fault.

2255
01:39:40,960 --> 01:39:43,759
Speaker 2: Okay, but you knew the Raiders and Bears would be bad. Okay,

2256
01:39:43,920 --> 01:39:46,120
Speaker 2: they predicted the Bengals to be in the super Bowl.

2257
01:39:46,200 --> 01:39:47,600
Speaker 2: They may not even make the playoffs.

2258
01:39:47,720 --> 01:39:50,439
Speaker 1: No, it's it's because you all got too cocky, like

2259
01:39:51,280 --> 01:39:54,200
Speaker 1: when they walked down jew thing that just happened by Jason,

2260
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:56,160
Speaker 1: And it's something Andy and I have talked about in

2261
01:39:56,200 --> 01:39:56,519
Speaker 1: the past.

2262
01:39:56,520 --> 01:39:58,200
Speaker 3: Sorry, Andy, I got to bring up all you know,

2263
01:39:59,080 --> 01:40:02,759
Speaker 3: rip the scab off this one when they those fans

2264
01:40:02,800 --> 01:40:06,760
Speaker 3: were leaving the stadium after losing to the Rams. I

2265
01:40:06,880 --> 01:40:09,639
Speaker 3: was at that Super Bowl. I've never seen a happier

2266
01:40:09,720 --> 01:40:13,920
Speaker 3: team in defeat in the fan base, assuming this was

2267
01:40:13,960 --> 01:40:17,200
Speaker 3: going to be a rite of passage, was going to

2268
01:40:17,240 --> 01:40:20,600
Speaker 3: become yearly traditions. And I'm like, my brother and I

2269
01:40:20,680 --> 01:40:22,960
Speaker 3: were incense right the play calling and everything in the

2270
01:40:23,000 --> 01:40:25,800
Speaker 3: fourth quarter, and we left disappoint We had no skin

2271
01:40:25,840 --> 01:40:28,320
Speaker 3: in the game other than we went. But just being

2272
01:40:28,360 --> 01:40:31,439
Speaker 3: football fans, we're walked off, kind of ticked off. And

2273
01:40:31,479 --> 01:40:33,719
Speaker 3: all these folks were just excited. It's like, oh, southern

2274
01:40:33,760 --> 01:40:36,880
Speaker 3: California and this time of year, so, I mean, I

2275
01:40:36,960 --> 01:40:39,439
Speaker 3: understand a little of that, right, vacation getting out of

2276
01:40:39,479 --> 01:40:43,000
Speaker 3: the Midwest, but it was just this, all right, you know, hey,

2277
01:40:43,080 --> 01:40:45,719
Speaker 3: we're happy to have been there, right, don't be mad

2278
01:40:45,800 --> 01:40:48,960
Speaker 3: it's over. Be glad it's happen. I'm like, hold on, now,

2279
01:40:49,040 --> 01:40:51,680
Speaker 3: that's not the way these things work. To go talk

2280
01:40:51,720 --> 01:40:54,559
Speaker 3: to Dan Marino about that. That guy's been carrying around

2281
01:40:54,600 --> 01:40:57,759
Speaker 3: anger for forty years because he never got back.

2282
01:40:58,080 --> 01:40:59,800
Speaker 2: Dick Buckus never went to a playoff game.

2283
01:41:00,479 --> 01:41:02,200
Speaker 3: I mean, those teams stunk. You had two of the

2284
01:41:02,240 --> 01:41:05,439
Speaker 3: greatest players the game of football has ever seen in

2285
01:41:05,520 --> 01:41:08,760
Speaker 3: him and Gail Sayers. And what do you got out

2286
01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:12,439
Speaker 3: of it? Brian Song and in a city that loves

2287
01:41:12,479 --> 01:41:16,160
Speaker 3: you like no other? All right, I gotta call what

2288
01:41:16,240 --> 01:41:17,920
Speaker 3: it is, all right, but you exactly what.

2289
01:41:18,240 --> 01:41:20,840
Speaker 2: After the Bengals did lose to the Rams, defans were

2290
01:41:20,960 --> 01:41:25,920
Speaker 2: hollering and dancing the dynasty Star Dynasty. You can't predict that.

2291
01:41:26,640 --> 01:41:28,519
Speaker 2: It's a lot of luck goes into it. You have

2292
01:41:28,560 --> 01:41:30,439
Speaker 2: to have talent, for sure, but a lot of luck

2293
01:41:30,439 --> 01:41:32,880
Speaker 2: goes into No one's talking the fact that Jesse Bates

2294
01:41:32,920 --> 01:41:35,439
Speaker 2: and von Bella no longer there. That's a big loss

2295
01:41:35,640 --> 01:41:36,160
Speaker 2: for that team.

2296
01:41:36,200 --> 01:41:39,479
Speaker 3: You lose players and staying healthy. And it goes back

2297
01:41:39,520 --> 01:41:43,839
Speaker 3: to the earlier conversation about schedules and we can't predict

2298
01:41:43,840 --> 01:41:47,599
Speaker 3: when injuries will happen, but they will. I mean, it fits.

2299
01:41:47,720 --> 01:41:49,639
Speaker 3: You could talk about it with your Raiders, right Remember

2300
01:41:49,680 --> 01:41:53,599
Speaker 3: that year the magic of Hey Car is gonna win MBP.

2301
01:41:54,240 --> 01:41:57,880
Speaker 3: We they missed no games due to injury. They were

2302
01:41:57,920 --> 01:42:00,840
Speaker 3: the healthiest team we've ever seen until he was laying

2303
01:42:00,880 --> 01:42:04,080
Speaker 3: on the ground yelling it's broke, it's broke, it's broke,

2304
01:42:04,120 --> 01:42:04,760
Speaker 3: and that was it.

2305
01:42:05,640 --> 01:42:08,720
Speaker 1: I was so confident that year things had gone so

2306
01:42:08,880 --> 01:42:11,879
Speaker 1: well that that was It was right right around Christmas

2307
01:42:11,880 --> 01:42:14,920
Speaker 1: time and little family gathering. We were all playing board games,

2308
01:42:14,920 --> 01:42:16,639
Speaker 1: and I was like, hey, you know what, pretty easy

2309
01:42:16,680 --> 01:42:19,200
Speaker 1: game against the Colts doesn't really matter. The Raiders playoff

2310
01:42:19,439 --> 01:42:21,479
Speaker 1: is secured. Let's just put it on a little TV

2311
01:42:21,600 --> 01:42:23,479
Speaker 1: over here and we'll be fine. And I was playing

2312
01:42:23,560 --> 01:42:26,160
Speaker 1: Yachtzi and I remember my role, and I just sat

2313
01:42:26,200 --> 01:42:28,400
Speaker 1: there with the dice in front of me, and you know,

2314
01:42:28,479 --> 01:42:31,599
Speaker 1: nobody else at the table's big football junkie. So all

2315
01:42:31,680 --> 01:42:34,840
Speaker 1: I saw was like the look, the look on my face,

2316
01:42:34,880 --> 01:42:37,479
Speaker 1: and somebody was like, you okay, and I was like, no, no,

2317
01:42:37,560 --> 01:42:39,360
Speaker 1: I'm not okay. And I just watched Derek Carr go

2318
01:42:39,479 --> 01:42:41,320
Speaker 1: down and I knew. I knew then that I can't

2319
01:42:41,360 --> 01:42:43,840
Speaker 1: have nice things like see. But then I thought, like, Okay,

2320
01:42:43,880 --> 01:42:46,879
Speaker 1: everything's gonna be fine. Because at the time the Raiders'

2321
01:42:47,120 --> 01:42:51,639
Speaker 1: message boards of the time, we're all everybody was trying

2322
01:42:51,640 --> 01:42:53,439
Speaker 1: to figure out, well, how's this team going to keep Carr,

2323
01:42:53,840 --> 01:42:56,400
Speaker 1: Mac and Cooper together? Because this looks like an era

2324
01:42:56,520 --> 01:42:58,800
Speaker 1: of dominance. Yeah, we see how that went. See how

2325
01:42:58,840 --> 01:43:01,120
Speaker 1: that went. So you know that's why I drink, y'all.

2326
01:43:01,120 --> 01:43:03,719
Speaker 1: Like it's just you know, like I'm gonna go somewhere

2327
01:43:03,840 --> 01:43:05,840
Speaker 1: from Monday night football tomorrow night, and I'm gonna make

2328
01:43:05,880 --> 01:43:08,160
Speaker 1: the decision based on two important things. On where I'm

2329
01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:09,800
Speaker 1: gonna watch that game. I'm not gonna watch at home.

2330
01:43:09,800 --> 01:43:11,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go out and about now. I'm gonna make

2331
01:43:11,400 --> 01:43:14,680
Speaker 1: that decision based on which place has the strongest cocktails

2332
01:43:14,680 --> 01:43:16,360
Speaker 1: and the best dessert menu, because I'm gonna eat and

2333
01:43:16,439 --> 01:43:18,000
Speaker 1: drink my feelings. That's what I'm gonna do.

2334
01:43:18,280 --> 01:43:20,000
Speaker 2: That's what do you do the same thing if they want?

2335
01:43:20,040 --> 01:43:21,679
Speaker 2: So what's the difference? You still would eat and drink

2336
01:43:21,680 --> 01:43:23,000
Speaker 2: if they want, and we'll.

2337
01:43:22,800 --> 01:43:25,519
Speaker 1: Look because it feels better. The extra piece of cake

2338
01:43:25,560 --> 01:43:28,040
Speaker 1: feels better when it's celebratory cake, not sad cake.

2339
01:43:28,200 --> 01:43:29,240
Speaker 3: That's what's the difference.

2340
01:43:29,479 --> 01:43:31,519
Speaker 2: But you're changing your stamps because normally it's a box

2341
01:43:31,520 --> 01:43:33,800
Speaker 2: of chocolate donuts, right, Yeah, I.

2342
01:43:33,800 --> 01:43:37,880
Speaker 3: Mean that's the starter. I mean, that's that's Sunday appetizer. Yeah,

2343
01:43:38,120 --> 01:43:40,599
Speaker 3: that's the appetizer. I'm mixing it up this week.

2344
01:43:40,840 --> 01:43:42,800
Speaker 1: You know, what. It's not gonna be the box of

2345
01:43:43,280 --> 01:43:46,240
Speaker 1: double chocolate donuts. It's gonna be pieces of cake and

2346
01:43:46,280 --> 01:43:48,559
Speaker 1: maybe a milkshake with some alcohol in it. Like I'm

2347
01:43:48,680 --> 01:43:51,080
Speaker 1: it's still gonna be sweets, y'all. It's just it's gonna

2348
01:43:51,080 --> 01:43:51,519
Speaker 1: be different.

2349
01:43:51,600 --> 01:43:53,240
Speaker 3: I got i gotta place down the street from me

2350
01:43:53,280 --> 01:43:55,639
Speaker 3: that makes boozy cakes. I'll make sure to send you one.

2351
01:43:56,040 --> 01:43:59,000
Speaker 3: We can share our misery, no question about it. And

2352
01:43:59,040 --> 01:44:01,840
Speaker 3: as he thinks about that, Derek Carr hit on the

2353
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:05,320
Speaker 3: song Fix You by Coldplay will continue to go through

2354
01:44:05,360 --> 01:44:08,120
Speaker 3: his head. We're gonna talk Cowboys and forty nine ers

2355
01:44:08,120 --> 01:44:11,200
Speaker 3: coming up momentarily, but first the two minute drill. We're

2356
01:44:11,200 --> 01:44:13,479
Speaker 3: with our guy Kevin Wired on everything going on in

2357
01:44:13,479 --> 01:44:16,799
Speaker 3: our sporting universe. Yeah, we just got some injury updates

2358
01:44:16,800 --> 01:44:20,040
Speaker 3: and NFL news leading up to this slate of games.

2359
01:44:20,080 --> 01:44:22,640
Speaker 3: So wide receiver Chase Claypool, he just got traded from

2360
01:44:22,640 --> 01:44:25,559
Speaker 3: the Bears to the Dolphins. He's not expected to play today.

2361
01:44:25,600 --> 01:44:29,080
Speaker 3: It's just too quick of a turnaround between getting traded

2362
01:44:29,120 --> 01:44:33,679
Speaker 3: from Chicago to Miami. That's according to Ian Rappaport Tom

2363

2365
01:44:40,840 --> 01:44:44,719
Speaker 3: or so in his return from his gambling suspension. Lion's

2366
01:44:44,760 --> 01:44:47,719
Speaker 3: gonna be likely without running back Jamiir Gibbs and wide

Speaker 3: as questionable with the right shoulder injury, will play Toda Day.

2370
01:45:00,800 --> 01:45:02,920
Speaker 3: He's in a better place health wise than he was

2371
01:45:03,000 --> 01:45:06,640
Speaker 3: last week with that ac joint sprain. Texan's getting a

2372
01:45:06,680 --> 01:45:11,080
Speaker 3: couple of key offensive lineman. Back tackle Laramie Tunsel and

2373
01:45:11,160 --> 01:45:15,639

2374
01:45:15,640 --> 01:45:19,040
Speaker 3: wide receiver t Higgins has a cracked rib, so he's

2375

Speaker 3: Trey Hendrickson is expected to play. Cornerback Chadobia Woozy is

2377
01:45:27,760 --> 01:45:30,960
Speaker 3: a game time decision. Von Miller has not played since

2378
01:45:31,040 --> 01:45:33,680
Speaker 3: last November when he tore his aco, but he is

2379
01:45:33,720 --> 01:45:37,000
Speaker 3: expected to make his season debut in London in about

2380
01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:39,439
Speaker 3: an hour or so against the Jaguars, although he will

2381
01:45:39,439 --> 01:45:41,800
Speaker 3: be on a limited pitch count. So he'll be on

2382
01:45:41,880 --> 01:45:47,000
Speaker 3: there and third down and obvious passing situations. Ravens wide

2383
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:50,439
Speaker 3: receiver Odell Beckham expected to play today. He's been spending

2384

01:46:03,560 --> 01:46:05,920
Speaker 3: the last four weeks with an injured hamstring. He has

2388
01:46:06,160 --> 01:46:09,479
Speaker 3: been activated. He will play today and he is not

2389
01:46:09,560 --> 01:46:14,519
Speaker 3: expected to have any limitations against the Eagles and the Broncos,

2390
01:46:14,560 --> 01:46:17,160
Speaker 3: saying they want to work out running back Devonte Williams,

2391
01:46:17,320 --> 01:46:20,400
Speaker 3: who's questionable with the quad injury, in pregame warmups before

2392
01:46:20,439 --> 01:46:23,040
Speaker 3: deciding whether or not he can play. That is according

2393
01:46:23,320 --> 01:46:26,080
Speaker 3: to Adam Schefter and one more from Ian Rappaport. Giant's

2394

Speaker 3: not expected to have Sakwon Barkley in today's game against

2395
01:46:29,280 --> 01:46:33,000

2396
01:46:33,040 --> 01:46:35,360
Speaker 3: back to you guys, thanks so much, Kevin Yeah. Also

2397
01:46:35,439 --> 01:46:38,960
Speaker 3: down in several offensive linemen. The misery continues for the

2398
01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:42,120
Speaker 3: New York Football Giants. They had all their run long

2399
01:46:42,200 --> 01:46:44,719
Speaker 3: long ago, and a couple of big moments against Tom Brady.

2405
01:46:58,400 --> 01:47:02,839
Speaker 3: Mark Cowboys. Let's get it on. One of the games

2406
01:47:02,840 --> 01:47:05,599
Speaker 3: of the day. Sunday Night football is where we will

2407
01:47:05,600 --> 01:47:09,280
Speaker 3: see them get together. When we look at the lines

2408
01:47:09,400 --> 01:47:12,200
Speaker 3: and all of the fun and excitement, we are looking

2409
01:47:12,200 --> 01:47:14,360
Speaker 3: at a three and a half point spread forty nine

2410
01:47:14,439 --> 01:47:17,040
Speaker 3: ers favorite at home. Forty five is your total. When

2411
01:47:17,080 --> 01:47:20,400
Speaker 3: you break it down, you've got the third and fourth

2412
01:47:20,479 --> 01:47:24,439
Speaker 3: best scoring offenses in the game and also the top

2413
01:47:24,520 --> 01:47:28,320
Speaker 3: and third ranked tied defenses in the game in terms

2414
01:47:28,320 --> 01:47:32,160
Speaker 3: of points allowed. I'll preface it by saying this. Steve Young,

2415
01:47:32,240 --> 01:47:35,880
Speaker 3: in an interview with the NBC Bay Area quote, Cowboys

2416
01:47:35,880 --> 01:47:39,360
Speaker 3: constant believe they're the greatest. I mean, it's amazing, like

2417
01:47:39,439 --> 01:47:40,839
Speaker 3: I got a star in my helmet.

2418
01:47:40,920 --> 01:47:41,479
Speaker 1: I'm great.

2419
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:44,439
Speaker 3: You're like, no, you're not, You're not. And I think

2420
01:47:44,479 --> 01:47:46,479
Speaker 3: one of the issues they have as an organization, it's

2421
01:47:46,479 --> 01:47:49,559
Speaker 3: hard to overcome is that they're great when they put

2422
01:47:49,560 --> 01:47:54,040
Speaker 3: the helmet on. Will they be great tonight, Andy Furman, Well.

2423
01:47:53,880 --> 01:47:55,320
Speaker 2: They may not be great, but I think they're gonna

2424
01:47:55,320 --> 01:47:56,920
Speaker 2: be good enough to win. I'll tell you what, because

2425
01:47:56,960 --> 01:47:59,360
Speaker 2: I think that Dallas pass Russ is gonna upset the

2426
01:47:59,400 --> 01:48:03,120
Speaker 2: forty nine. They got defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence, linebacker Michael Parsons.

2427
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:05,560
Speaker 2: They're going to blow up San Francisco's offensive line. That

2428
01:48:05,680 --> 01:48:09,679
Speaker 2: pass rush will expose that suspect offensive line of San Francisco.

2429
01:48:09,760 --> 01:48:12,280
Speaker 2: And you talk about for a storyline that I think

2430
01:48:12,320 --> 01:48:16,320
Speaker 2: has been buried all year long, this brock Party situation.

2431
01:48:16,680 --> 01:48:19,320
Speaker 2: I watched him last year and the NFC Championship game

2432
01:48:19,360 --> 01:48:22,920
Speaker 2: when his elbow was hanging down to his leg. Okay,

2433
01:48:23,400 --> 01:48:25,760
Speaker 2: he's back, and he may even be better than playing

2434
01:48:25,840 --> 01:48:28,759
Speaker 2: last year. He's four and zero, completing seventy two percent

2435
01:48:28,760 --> 01:48:33,000
Speaker 2: of his passes league leading one hundred and fifteen passer rating.

2436
01:48:33,200 --> 01:48:36,040
Speaker 2: And this is after completing sixty seven percent of his

2437
01:48:36,120 --> 01:48:39,000
Speaker 2: passes one hundred and seventy three point three passer rating

2438
01:48:39,200 --> 01:48:41,679
Speaker 2: in nine games, going five and zero as a starter,

2439
01:48:41,960 --> 01:48:44,479
Speaker 2: and last year's regular season. That's one hell of a

2440
01:48:44,560 --> 01:48:47,240
Speaker 2: story and it gets overshadowed, but it won't be good

2441
01:48:47,320 --> 01:48:49,200
Speaker 2: enough tonight because the Cowboys win.

2442
01:48:50,520 --> 01:48:54,040
Speaker 1: You are close, but no, Cigar, you are right and

2443
01:48:54,080 --> 01:48:55,960
Speaker 1: everything you just said about brock Party, but that's the

2444
01:48:55,960 --> 01:48:58,240
Speaker 1: exact reason that they will win this game. I think

2445
01:48:58,560 --> 01:49:01,160
Speaker 1: Rock Party, the analogy I keep making is like Voltron.

2446
01:49:01,280 --> 01:49:03,920
Speaker 1: Like by himself, he may not be this powerful robot,

2447
01:49:04,120 --> 01:49:06,120
Speaker 1: but when you put him together with the coaching staff

2448
01:49:06,160 --> 01:49:07,760
Speaker 1: and the weapons he has, which is by the way,

2449
01:49:07,800 --> 01:49:10,080
Speaker 1: his new reality that he'll be with every single week

2450
01:49:10,120 --> 01:49:13,240
Speaker 1: for the next several years, he's dominant. And that there

2451
01:49:13,320 --> 01:49:16,760
Speaker 1: is an ability of rock Perty to be efficient in

2452
01:49:16,800 --> 01:49:19,320
Speaker 1: all things. He's not phased. He's able to read defense

2453
01:49:19,360 --> 01:49:21,360
Speaker 1: as well. Nothing seems to surprise him. And by the way,

2454
01:49:21,439 --> 01:49:24,160
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey is the MVP of the NFL. So you

2455
01:49:24,240 --> 01:49:26,160
Speaker 1: send that pass rush all day long, but you're still

2456
01:49:26,200 --> 01:49:28,840
Speaker 1: gonna have to account for Christian McCaffrey not only running

2457
01:49:28,840 --> 01:49:30,639
Speaker 1: the football, but also out of the backfield. I don't

2458
01:49:30,640 --> 01:49:32,559
Speaker 1: think Dallas can be able to do that. I think

2459
01:49:32,600 --> 01:49:34,080
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers are the best team in the

2460
01:49:34,160 --> 01:49:36,839
Speaker 1: NFL right now. They'll go in, they will show Dallas

2461
01:49:36,840 --> 01:49:39,240
Speaker 1: what's up, and they will continue to rise to the

2462
01:49:39,240 --> 01:49:40,360
Speaker 1: top of the mountain.

2463
01:49:40,640 --> 01:49:43,200
Speaker 3: Elijah Mitchell, there you go. I was like you needed

2464
01:49:43,240 --> 01:49:45,920
Speaker 3: the ground swell of music behind you, like when the

2465
01:49:46,040 --> 01:49:51,000
Speaker 3: great Paul Hayman was announcing brack party for the NFC

2466
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:54,800
Speaker 3: title game on Fox. So we do. We celebrate greatness,

2467
01:49:55,000 --> 01:49:57,439
Speaker 3: and he's one of the fine stories and proving that

2468
01:49:57,560 --> 01:49:59,600
Speaker 3: staying in college and having a lot of reps in

2469
01:49:59,640 --> 01:50:02,519
Speaker 3: college sometimes works out well for you, even if you

2470
01:50:02,560 --> 01:50:05,280
Speaker 3: still have to split and rent with a roommate and

2471
01:50:05,320 --> 01:50:08,320
Speaker 3: drive a twelve year old truck, which he's kind of

2472
01:50:08,320 --> 01:50:10,680
Speaker 3: doing by choice, because eight hundred thousand is nothing to

2473
01:50:10,680 --> 01:50:14,000
Speaker 3: sneeze at, fellas. I don't know about you, but I'd

2474
01:50:14,040 --> 01:50:16,160
Speaker 3: like to be in that tax bracket. Elijah Mitchell. Gonna

2475
01:50:16,160 --> 01:50:19,000
Speaker 3: miss this game for the forty nine ers, meaning you'll

2476
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:21,439
Speaker 3: see a little bit of Jordan Mason and Davis Price

2477
01:50:21,520 --> 01:50:24,680
Speaker 3: behind Christian McCaffrey. But I agree with you, Jason, I

2478
01:50:24,720 --> 01:50:29,840
Speaker 3: think this has potential burial opportunity here. Oh yeah, well,

2479
01:50:29,880 --> 01:50:33,960
Speaker 3: we'll see about that defensive pressure getting after Dak Prescott.

2480
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:35,920
Speaker 3: How good are the Cowboys, I guess is really the

2481
01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:39,240
Speaker 3: question here. You beat up on the Giants, Jets and

2482
01:50:39,400 --> 01:50:43,439
Speaker 3: the Patriots. Three teams that we would right now all

2483
01:50:43,560 --> 01:50:46,160
Speaker 3: argue are what top bottom five or six in the league.

2484
01:50:48,040 --> 01:50:50,040
Speaker 3: And then you lost because you got punched in the

2485
01:50:50,080 --> 01:50:53,439
Speaker 3: mouth by James Connor and the plucky I heard you

2486
01:50:53,520 --> 01:50:58,160
Speaker 3: use the word before, these flucky Arizona Cardinals. So right now,

2487
01:50:58,160 --> 01:51:00,360
Speaker 3: through four games, even if you put up some ball

2488
01:51:00,439 --> 01:51:03,519
Speaker 3: numbers offensively, you've done it against you know, you can

2489
01:51:03,560 --> 01:51:06,040
Speaker 3: only play who's on the schedule. But that still leads

2490
01:51:06,040 --> 01:51:08,040
Speaker 3: a lot of questions here in week five, at least

2491
01:51:08,080 --> 01:51:08,639
Speaker 3: where I sit.

2492
01:51:09,640 --> 01:51:11,439
Speaker 2: Well, you know what if you want to use that

2493
01:51:11,479 --> 01:51:13,560
Speaker 2: as an excuse or your reasoning.

2494
01:51:13,479 --> 01:51:14,240
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, no.

2495
01:51:14,400 --> 01:51:17,479
Speaker 2: Reas forty nine is played, they beat him a bad

2496
01:51:17,520 --> 01:51:21,000
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh team. They destroyed then thirty to seven, the Rams,

2497
01:51:21,000 --> 01:51:23,280
Speaker 2: this so so, but they beat him only by a score.

2498
01:51:23,520 --> 01:51:25,920
Speaker 2: The Giants they beat up fairly badly, and they came

2499
01:51:25,920 --> 01:51:28,240
Speaker 2: back and beat up on Arizona. So who do they play?

2500
01:51:28,840 --> 01:51:31,960
Speaker 2: So that goes out the window to the scheduling, because

2501
01:51:32,120 --> 01:51:34,080
Speaker 2: basically you got to play who's on your schedule.

2502
01:51:34,280 --> 01:51:37,400
Speaker 1: No, yeah, but there's a difference. So because the Cowboys

2503
01:51:37,520 --> 01:51:40,520
Speaker 1: have that same week schedule and also have a big

2504
01:51:40,600 --> 01:51:42,800
Speaker 1: mark on that schedule that the forty nine ers don't have,

2505
01:51:42,920 --> 01:51:47,200
Speaker 1: Like we just can't forgive the fact that not only

2506
01:51:47,200 --> 01:51:50,200
Speaker 1: Arizona did Arizona win, but Arizona controlled the line of

2507
01:51:50,200 --> 01:51:52,240
Speaker 1: scrimmage like they ran the book down their throat and.

2508
01:51:52,240 --> 01:51:53,720
Speaker 2: They stopped them in the red zone like four to

2509
01:51:53,760 --> 01:51:55,760
Speaker 2: five times. I get it. I understand that. And they

2510
01:51:55,760 --> 01:51:58,080
Speaker 2: do have a common opponent in Arizona, and the forty

2511
01:51:58,120 --> 01:52:00,559
Speaker 2: nine is beat up Arizona thirty five to sixteen. I

2512
01:52:00,640 --> 01:52:05,639
Speaker 2: understand that. But reasons are exc now, Andy means nothing

2513
01:52:05,680 --> 01:52:07,080
Speaker 2: for tonight means nothing.

2514
01:52:07,479 --> 01:52:09,920
Speaker 3: There's still the Cowboys. I kind of agree with Steve Young.

2515
01:52:10,720 --> 01:52:12,960
Speaker 3: As it flows through, we'll see what happens. That's the

2516
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:15,559
Speaker 3: way they play the games. We talk about it.

2517
01:52:16,280 --> 01:52:18,040
Speaker 2: The game is and we you know, forty out a

2518
01:52:18,040 --> 01:52:19,120
Speaker 2: home game, it means a lot too.

2519
01:52:19,160 --> 01:52:23,840
Speaker 3: I think the beauty of Santa Clara, California still weird,

2520
01:52:24,200 --> 01:52:25,920
Speaker 3: but you know they'll do all the shots of San

2521
01:52:25,960 --> 01:52:30,160
Speaker 3: Francisco because well, Santa Clara's only got tech companies in

2522
01:52:30,200 --> 01:52:34,240
Speaker 3: golf ranges down there. He's Andy Furman, that's Jason fitz Up.

Speaker 3: Mike Carmon here on Fox Football Sunday. Coming up next

2524

Speaker 3: We've got three games to get through, and yes we

2525
01:52:40,320 --> 01:52:42,920
Speaker 3: do have to talk about the Jets and Broncos at

2526
01:52:43,000 --> 01:52:45,519
Speaker 3: least for a minute. Maybe that's all it's worth. We

2527
01:52:45,640 --> 01:52:47,280
Speaker 3: may be more. We'll talk about it next to your

2528
01:52:47,320 --> 01:52:50,880
Speaker 3: on Fox. Oh, Welcome back into the Fox Sports Radio

Speaker 3: Remember Cleveland, the Chargers, the Seahawks, and the Buccaneers all

2541
01:53:34,320 --> 01:53:39,280
Speaker 3: off this week. As we begin that long road of misery.

2542
01:53:39,320 --> 01:53:42,200
Speaker 3: Our partner here, Andy Furman, Jason Fitz has fixed it

2543
01:53:42,720 --> 01:53:44,760
Speaker 3: that you just have a carnival for a week in

2544
01:53:44,760 --> 01:53:46,720
Speaker 3: the middle of the season where everybody takes a week

2545
01:53:46,760 --> 01:53:50,639
Speaker 3: off instead of the way we do bye weeks.

2546
01:53:50,720 --> 01:53:52,439
Speaker 1: I still think it's the best idea in the world. Like,

2547
01:53:52,600 --> 01:53:55,680
Speaker 1: just just pause the season midway through, let everybody like

2548
01:53:56,040 --> 01:53:57,920
Speaker 1: go do whatever you want with your family, show us

2549
01:53:57,960 --> 01:54:00,880
Speaker 1: the quarterback challenge from the offseason, and then restart the

2550
01:54:00,880 --> 01:54:02,720
Speaker 1: second half of the league. And that's a fair way

2551
01:54:02,720 --> 01:54:02,920
Speaker 1: to do.

2552
01:54:03,160 --> 01:54:05,840
Speaker 2: I say, move some college football games to Sunday. Really,

2553
01:54:05,880 --> 01:54:08,639
Speaker 2: they really should, because I don't want to see two

2554
01:54:08,760 --> 01:54:10,760
Speaker 2: games at the same time. I know, Jase, you got

2555
01:54:10,800 --> 01:54:13,280
Speaker 2: four TVs going at once. I can't do that. I'm

2556
01:54:13,280 --> 01:54:16,040
Speaker 2: not that snop. I can't. I can't do it. You've

2557
01:54:16,120 --> 01:54:17,360
Speaker 2: just opened my eyes to something.

2558
01:54:17,680 --> 01:54:20,519
Speaker 1: You do this doing rivalry week in college football, which

2559
01:54:20,560 --> 01:54:22,720
Speaker 1: is one of the most special weeks, and everybody wants

2560
01:54:22,760 --> 01:54:25,240
Speaker 1: to see the big rivalry games. You spread the rivalry

2561
01:54:25,240 --> 01:54:28,400
Speaker 1: games over the whole weekend. Bam, Oh, we're fixing the world.

2562
01:54:28,400 --> 01:54:31,519
Speaker 3: We just do that on Tuesdays and Wednesdays alongside matching.

2563
01:54:32,880 --> 01:54:35,640
Speaker 1: Okay, if you're if you were watching maction to that

2564
01:54:35,720 --> 01:54:37,840
Speaker 1: level at that point in the season. My friend you

2565
01:54:37,840 --> 01:54:39,440
Speaker 1: may have a problem. We might want to sit down,

2566
01:54:39,440 --> 01:54:40,240
Speaker 1: and you can't.

2567
01:54:40,000 --> 01:54:42,440
Speaker 2: Do it on Tuesday because I'm watching the Matt Conference

2568
01:54:42,480 --> 01:54:44,240
Speaker 2: play in American Conference football.

2569
01:54:44,240 --> 01:54:47,000
Speaker 1: Okay, guys, we gotta we gotta work on that.

2570
01:54:47,120 --> 01:54:49,040
Speaker 3: All right, Let's get back into the games so we

2571
01:54:49,120 --> 01:54:52,200
Speaker 3: can knock down the bad, deep dark road of my

2572
01:54:52,600 --> 01:54:53,720
Speaker 3: problems in sports.

2573
01:54:54,040 --> 01:54:55,320
Speaker 2: Jets and Broncos.

2574
01:54:55,400 --> 01:54:58,120
Speaker 3: Jets and Broncos later on today. Yes, they will play

2575
01:54:58,160 --> 01:55:01,280
Speaker 3: this game. The public sentiments lady to come on board.

2576
01:55:01,000 --> 01:55:02,920
Speaker 1: To the why are they so mean?

2577
01:55:03,040 --> 01:55:06,800
Speaker 3: To Zach Wilson Denver two and a half point favorites

2578
01:55:06,800 --> 01:55:09,960
Speaker 3: coming off of that huge win the comeback against the Bears.

2579
01:55:10,000 --> 01:55:12,600
Speaker 3: Forty three and a half is your total. In the

2580
01:55:12,640 --> 01:55:16,040
Speaker 3: injury notes, Davante Williams will not play most likely, which

2581
01:55:16,080 --> 01:55:21,240
Speaker 3: means more. Jaleel McLaughlan, Yes, the guy. His name is Jaliel.

2582
01:55:21,320 --> 01:55:23,520
Speaker 3: It's the first time Jaliel has been a big deal

2583
01:55:23,600 --> 01:55:30,160
Speaker 3: since nineteen eighty nine when Family Matters premiered Rivalry grudge Match.

2584
01:55:30,160 --> 01:55:32,160
Speaker 3: I did not get the laugh I anticipated.

2585
01:55:32,520 --> 01:55:32,600
Speaker 1: No.

2586
01:55:32,720 --> 01:55:35,400
Speaker 3: I remember Reginald vel Johnson the same.

2587
01:55:35,240 --> 01:55:38,320
Speaker 1: Way I look. I was smiling. I wasn't laughing at

2588
01:55:38,320 --> 01:55:40,360
Speaker 1: that got the cute inside chuckle instead of the laugh

2589
01:55:40,360 --> 01:55:42,120
Speaker 1: out loud. I got them out of it. But that

2590
01:55:42,200 --> 01:55:42,440
Speaker 1: was good.

2591
01:55:43,440 --> 01:55:46,400
Speaker 3: I appreciate we got a guy named Jalil. All right, so, Jason,

2592
01:55:46,440 --> 01:55:50,200
Speaker 3: since you at least acknowledged me, like I'm Roman reigns

2593
01:55:50,320 --> 01:55:53,760
Speaker 3: acknowledge me, What do you say, who wins the grudge

2594
01:55:53,760 --> 01:55:56,200
Speaker 3: match here? Sean Payton? Is he going back to genius

2595
01:55:56,240 --> 01:55:58,960
Speaker 3: status or do the Jets have something for him to

2596
01:55:59,320 --> 01:56:01,720
Speaker 3: really abuse that terrible Denver defense?

2597
01:56:02,280 --> 01:56:04,600
Speaker 1: First and foremost little note, maybe you could have given

2598
01:56:04,680 --> 01:56:06,480
Speaker 1: us like your best did I do that sort of

2599
01:56:06,520 --> 01:56:07,600
Speaker 1: moment and there would have been.

2600
01:56:07,840 --> 01:56:10,440
Speaker 3: Rob Parker does that. So you know, I don't want

2601
01:56:10,440 --> 01:56:12,640
Speaker 3: to Hy's territory. I'm just giving it.

2602
01:56:12,720 --> 01:56:15,520
Speaker 1: Just just appreciate that, Okay, all right, uh no, this

2603
01:56:15,720 --> 01:56:18,480
Speaker 1: this game look for I have a bias at this

2604
01:56:18,480 --> 01:56:20,440
Speaker 1: point for the rest of the season, and that bias

2605
01:56:20,480 --> 01:56:22,520
Speaker 1: just makes sure that the Broncos don't end up with

2606
01:56:22,640 --> 01:56:24,640
Speaker 1: the worst record in the NFL, because if I take

2607
01:56:24,720 --> 01:56:27,880
Speaker 1: on Caleb Williams, I quit football. So you know, I

2608
01:56:27,920 --> 01:56:29,360
Speaker 1: look at this and I say, look, I need the

2609
01:56:29,360 --> 01:56:32,560
Speaker 1: Broncos to get some wins. That being said, this feels

2610
01:56:32,600 --> 01:56:34,840
Speaker 1: like they're sort of the game that the Jets should

2611
01:56:34,880 --> 01:56:37,080
Speaker 1: be able to go out and win. Not It has

2612
01:56:37,200 --> 01:56:39,000
Speaker 1: nothing to do with Zach Wilson and has everything to

2613
01:56:39,040 --> 01:56:41,920
Speaker 1: do with Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson's cook. You guys know,

2614
01:56:41,960 --> 01:56:43,920
Speaker 1: I'm not a believer at this point. But the other

2615
01:56:43,960 --> 01:56:45,840
Speaker 1: part of it is that Jets defense is still that

2616
01:56:45,920 --> 01:56:48,960
Speaker 1: Jets defense, right, So my expectation is that the Jets

2617
01:56:49,040 --> 01:56:52,160
Speaker 1: defense will come out and be able to stemy what

2618
01:56:52,320 --> 01:56:55,200
Speaker 1: limited offense the Broncos had been able to put together.

2619
01:56:55,680 --> 01:56:57,080
Speaker 1: It points are going to be at a premium for

2620
01:56:57,120 --> 01:56:58,760
Speaker 1: the Broncos to get in this game, which takes a

2621
01:56:58,760 --> 01:57:01,760
Speaker 1: lot of the pressure off of Zach Wilson in this process.

2622
01:57:01,880 --> 01:57:03,600
Speaker 1: I think the Jets win this game in an ugly

2623
01:57:03,640 --> 01:57:04,520
Speaker 1: close football game.

2624
01:57:04,600 --> 01:57:07,200
Speaker 3: Andy, he got a good Our Gang reference in by

2625
01:57:07,280 --> 01:57:10,240
Speaker 3: using the word steimy, So you agree.

2626
01:57:09,880 --> 01:57:14,760
Speaker 2: To go right, yeah, right right. Denver's defense is allowing

2627
01:57:14,880 --> 01:57:17,280
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy six rushing guards a game. So

2628
01:57:17,480 --> 01:57:20,360
Speaker 2: right now, if I'm Breese Hole or DALPHN. Cook, I

2629
01:57:20,440 --> 01:57:22,560
Speaker 2: was smacking my lips. Okay, It's gonna be a close

2630
01:57:22,600 --> 01:57:25,720
Speaker 2: game because I think the Broncos offense has somewhat improved

2631
01:57:25,840 --> 01:57:28,640
Speaker 2: on the Sean Payton, but New York's defense is better

2632
01:57:28,680 --> 01:57:32,000
Speaker 2: than their offense. Broncos will lose this game. Jets will win,

2633
01:57:32,200 --> 01:57:34,840
Speaker 2: but they'll win bye. Maybe a field goal. Close game.

2634
01:57:35,200 --> 01:57:37,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, they broke the seals. Saust Gardener actually got called

2635
01:57:37,560 --> 01:57:39,000
Speaker 3: for a hold. I don't know if you guys saw that.

2636
01:57:39,080 --> 01:57:41,480
Speaker 2: Next, did see that? Yes? Chiefs and Vikings.

2637
01:57:41,880 --> 01:57:44,440
Speaker 3: Chiefs and Vikings one of the games of the day.

2638
01:57:44,520 --> 01:57:47,800
Speaker 3: This one's got some sauciness to it. The Chiefs a

2639
01:57:47,840 --> 01:57:51,240
Speaker 3: three and a half point road favorite. Fifty three is

2640
01:57:51,280 --> 01:57:54,040
Speaker 3: your total here. You're looking at a Chiefs defense, guys

2641
01:57:54,080 --> 01:57:57,560
Speaker 3: allowing just fifteen points per game. Andy has start with you.

2642
01:57:57,880 --> 01:58:01,080
Speaker 3: Does that offense start to get moving against Minnesota.

2643
01:58:00,640 --> 01:58:03,040
Speaker 2: D You look at the Vikings have a league high

2644
01:58:03,040 --> 01:58:05,640
Speaker 2: eleven turnovers. That's killed the Vikings and if it wasn't

2645
01:58:05,680 --> 01:58:07,680
Speaker 2: for the Panthers, they'd be zero and four right now.

2646
01:58:07,800 --> 01:58:10,160
Speaker 2: But you look at a guy like Kirk Cousins. He's

2647
01:58:10,200 --> 01:58:12,120
Speaker 2: passed for the third most yards of the NFL thos

2648
01:58:12,160 --> 01:58:14,440
Speaker 2: for this year, so we'll see what's gonna happen right there.

2649
01:58:14,440 --> 01:58:18,240
Speaker 2: And you look at Brian Flores, brought in to Minnesota

2650
01:58:18,440 --> 01:58:21,360
Speaker 2: to kind of help the defense. This guy Flores is

2651
01:58:21,400 --> 01:58:25,240
Speaker 2: known as a blitching defensive guy. If he blitches Kansas City,

2652
01:58:25,480 --> 01:58:28,760
Speaker 2: oh my goodness, Patrick Mahomes will have a field day

2653
01:58:28,920 --> 01:58:32,640
Speaker 2: and the Chiefs win today. Anyway, the hard part about.

2654
01:58:32,480 --> 01:58:34,400
Speaker 1: This is the Vikings weren't as good as their record

2655
01:58:34,440 --> 01:58:36,240
Speaker 1: last year, and they're not as bad as their record

2656
01:58:36,280 --> 01:58:38,160
Speaker 1: this year. But you know, bad teams find a way

2657
01:58:38,200 --> 01:58:40,480
Speaker 1: to lose, and that's exactly what Minnesota does in weird

2658
01:58:40,480 --> 01:58:43,160
Speaker 1: ways every single week. I don't love where the Chiefs

2659
01:58:43,160 --> 01:58:45,960
Speaker 1: offense is, but that's an annual tradition. It'll be fine

2660
01:58:46,000 --> 01:58:48,760
Speaker 1: as the season goes on. I don't trust Kirk Cousins,

2661
01:58:48,760 --> 01:58:50,880
Speaker 1: and this Chiefs defense deserves a lot of crep for

2662
01:58:50,920 --> 01:58:53,600
Speaker 1: being credit for being better than people realize. I think

2663
01:58:53,640 --> 01:58:55,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs role in this one.

2664
01:58:55,160 --> 01:58:59,120
Speaker 3: All right, Final game, Packers and Raiders. I notice we

2665
01:58:59,200 --> 01:59:01,760
Speaker 3: only have like thirty seconds. That's about what it deserves.

2666
01:59:02,320 --> 01:59:07,040
Speaker 3: Adams and Garoppolo question marks for tomorrow. Jason, it's your team.

2667
01:59:07,160 --> 01:59:10,240
Speaker 1: Raiders went Big, Raiders went Big Raiders. I need this America.

2668
01:59:10,400 --> 01:59:12,480
Speaker 1: Just let me have this mont It for his soul.

2669
01:59:12,600 --> 01:59:13,000
Speaker 3: Andy.

2670
01:59:13,840 --> 01:59:15,640
Speaker 2: I hate to pick against my Pardner here, but I'll

2671
01:59:15,640 --> 01:59:17,400
Speaker 2: tell you what The Raiders aren't good enough on the

2672
01:59:17,440 --> 01:59:19,680
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage on either side of the ball pack

2673
01:59:19,760 --> 01:59:20,080
Speaker 2: US win.

2674
01:59:20,720 --> 01:59:22,000
Speaker 1: There you go, Fighting.

2675
01:59:23,600 --> 01:59:27,680
Speaker 3: Raiders a narrow two point favorite forty five your total,

2676
01:59:27,720 --> 01:59:30,880
Speaker 3: Andy Furman, thank you for the quick hour. Jason and

Speaker 3: a day without a potential loss? The range lightle tomorrow.

2688
02:00:13,400 --> 02:00:16,560
Speaker 1: The look these sea Sundays are weird. It's almost you know,

2689
02:00:16,680 --> 02:00:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be the one person in America that says

2690
02:00:19,360 --> 02:00:21,680
Speaker 1: this not a big fan of Monday night football like

2691
02:00:21,760 --> 02:00:24,400
Speaker 1: I love you know yesterday and let me paint this

2692
02:00:24,440 --> 02:00:25,840
Speaker 1: picture for you because I spent a lot of my

2693
02:00:25,880 --> 02:00:29,080
Speaker 1: time in Connecticut. Right, So you go out with friends

2694
02:00:29,080 --> 02:00:31,360
Speaker 1: in Connecticut to watch college football, there might be ten

2695
02:00:31,400 --> 02:00:33,600
Speaker 1: people in a sports bar. It just doesn't resonate in

2696
02:00:33,600 --> 02:00:35,160
Speaker 1: New England the way it does in other parts of

2697
02:00:35,160 --> 02:00:37,520
Speaker 1: the country. And that's fine. But yesterday I go hang

2698
02:00:37,560 --> 02:00:40,120
Speaker 1: out with my buddy in Nashville. I walk into a house.

2699
02:00:40,200 --> 02:00:43,040
Speaker 1: It's just jam packed with everybody. The vibe and the

2700
02:00:43,160 --> 02:00:46,200
Speaker 1: energy is through the roof, like everybody's yelling and screaming

2701
02:00:46,240 --> 02:00:48,120
Speaker 1: at all the TVs even didn't matter if you had

2702
02:00:48,120 --> 02:00:51,160
Speaker 1: a vested interest or not. Suddenly Maryland Ohio State was

2703
02:00:51,200 --> 02:00:54,040
Speaker 1: interesting because it was just college football fanatics in a

2704
02:00:54,160 --> 02:00:57,120
Speaker 1: room loving it right. So that goes all the way

2705
02:00:57,160 --> 02:00:59,480
Speaker 1: to your point as you came in this morning, all

2706
02:00:59,480 --> 02:01:01,240
Speaker 1: the way to the wee hours of the morning with

2707
02:01:01,360 --> 02:01:04,280
Speaker 1: USC taking on Arizona and everybody watching that thinking could

2708
02:01:04,280 --> 02:01:06,160
Speaker 1: this be the stumble of USC?

2709
02:01:06,360 --> 02:01:06,520
Speaker 3: Right?

2710
02:01:06,760 --> 02:01:08,720
Speaker 1: And so then you wake up today and you've got

2711
02:01:08,800 --> 02:01:11,240
Speaker 1: an early morning gaming he had all day Sunday, and

2712
02:01:11,280 --> 02:01:12,800
Speaker 1: I don't get to have that same level of joy

2713
02:01:12,840 --> 02:01:15,480
Speaker 1: for all of it, like Monday night football. It's it's

2714
02:01:15,520 --> 02:01:17,360
Speaker 1: just doesn't hit for me. The same way I like

2715
02:01:17,640 --> 02:01:20,640
Speaker 1: Sunday night football is the end of the Oh my god,

2716
02:01:20,720 --> 02:01:23,520
Speaker 1: I need this in my veins injected here. Monday is

2717
02:01:23,520 --> 02:01:25,520
Speaker 1: supposed to be a day of rest and recuperation from

2718
02:01:25,520 --> 02:01:27,680
Speaker 1: a long, weeping weekend. So I don't even know how

2719
02:01:27,680 --> 02:01:28,839
Speaker 1: to handle myself today.

2720
02:01:28,640 --> 02:01:31,200
Speaker 3: Which is normally you know, historically, if you if you

2721
02:01:31,200 --> 02:01:33,720
Speaker 3: want to get into religion a bit, you're supposed to

2722
02:01:33,720 --> 02:01:37,320
Speaker 3: be resting on Sundays. Nope, wall to wall action, I

2723
02:01:37,360 --> 02:01:39,600
Speaker 3: mean right now, the English Premier League just kicked off

2724
02:01:39,640 --> 02:01:42,280
Speaker 3: a little west Ham and Newcastle getting after it.

2725
02:01:42,480 --> 02:01:44,560
Speaker 1: Half easy to say that with a little bit more

2726
02:01:44,640 --> 02:01:46,480
Speaker 1: snobbery though, like Premierly like.

2727
02:01:47,280 --> 02:01:50,840
Speaker 3: I've got to take an affected speech pattern.

2728
02:01:50,880 --> 02:01:52,959
Speaker 1: Perfect much much better.

2729
02:01:52,760 --> 02:01:55,080
Speaker 3: Because that's how I started. By Saturday. I was actually

2730
02:01:55,120 --> 02:01:58,720
Speaker 3: just telling Shay and Mark h in our making it

2731
02:01:58,880 --> 02:02:02,960
Speaker 3: sound so pretty our produce sure technical and executive producers

2732
02:02:03,640 --> 02:02:07,080
Speaker 3: earlier this morning is I couldn't sleep yesterday. I'm diseased, right,

2733
02:02:07,200 --> 02:02:10,400
Speaker 3: so it's it's the I go lay down to sleep

2734
02:02:10,440 --> 02:02:13,040
Speaker 3: after my Friday show, me and Smith working to eleven

2735
02:02:13,080 --> 02:02:16,320
Speaker 3: o'clock Pacific time. You know, you unlined whatever by the

2736
02:02:16,320 --> 02:02:18,520
Speaker 3: time you actually fall asleep. Whatever, it's one o'clock in

2737
02:02:18,560 --> 02:02:21,480
Speaker 3: the morning, maybe a little later. And then all of

2738
02:02:21,520 --> 02:02:23,960
Speaker 3: a sudden, I shot up, like you know, like I

2739
02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:26,200
Speaker 3: was out of a cannon. About four o'clock. It's like,

2740
02:02:26,200 --> 02:02:27,480
Speaker 3: all right, it's time to get up. It's like it

2741
02:02:27,560 --> 02:02:29,560
Speaker 3: really wasn't time to get up. I had nowhere to

2742
02:02:29,560 --> 02:02:31,880
Speaker 3: be at nine o'clock. But then I looked around. I'm like, well,

2743
02:02:31,880 --> 02:02:34,600
Speaker 3: I'm awake. What's on. Oh, it's a pre good for

2744
02:02:34,680 --> 02:02:38,160
Speaker 3: the Premier League. Let's go. And it kicked off at

2745
02:02:38,160 --> 02:02:41,640
Speaker 3: four thirty Pacific time, and I was there with rapt

2746
02:02:41,640 --> 02:02:44,200
Speaker 3: attention and a giant cup of coffee, ready to go

2747
02:02:45,120 --> 02:02:47,320
Speaker 3: see they into a full day of college football.

2748
02:02:47,440 --> 02:02:50,720
Speaker 1: So I respect that Saturdays are weird, not that anybody

2749
02:02:50,760 --> 02:02:53,360
Speaker 1: in America cares, but they're weirdly long for me because

2750
02:02:53,400 --> 02:02:56,160
Speaker 1: I do get to I get to hang out, you know. Obviously,

2751
02:02:56,200 --> 02:02:58,360
Speaker 1: Saturday morning, the fellas we have a blast, we have

2752
02:02:58,400 --> 02:03:00,560
Speaker 1: a great time. And then all day during Saturday I

2753
02:03:00,600 --> 02:03:02,520
Speaker 1: have to create. I have to I get to create

2754
02:03:02,520 --> 02:03:05,560
Speaker 1: content for Yahoo around college football that we don't end

2755
02:03:05,640 --> 02:03:08,720
Speaker 1: until the last game ends on Saturday. So sometimes Saturdays

2756
02:03:08,720 --> 02:03:10,840
Speaker 1: are a solid twenty hour day for me. But it's

2757
02:03:10,840 --> 02:03:12,760
Speaker 1: not work because you're just sitting around watching football and

2758
02:03:12,800 --> 02:03:14,560
Speaker 1: then you set up a camera and react for two minutes,

2759
02:03:14,640 --> 02:03:16,680
Speaker 1: like it's the easiest thing in the world to do.

2760
02:03:16,760 --> 02:03:18,400
Speaker 1: I'm the luckiest guy in the world to get to

2761
02:03:18,440 --> 02:03:20,400
Speaker 1: do it. But I feel, you like, because then I

2762
02:03:20,440 --> 02:03:22,440
Speaker 1: wake up this morning and I just got that rush,

2763
02:03:22,560 --> 02:03:24,840
Speaker 1: like there's an adrenalineo the weekends, when you know you

2764
02:03:24,880 --> 02:03:27,320
Speaker 1: are chuck full of football all day. That hits different.

2765
02:03:27,360 --> 02:03:29,600
Speaker 1: The only thing that is weird about the world is

2766
02:03:29,640 --> 02:03:31,680
Speaker 1: that I feel like, and maybe this is my Southern

2767
02:03:31,720 --> 02:03:34,200
Speaker 1: bias from twenty years in the South, I feel like

2768
02:03:34,280 --> 02:03:37,560
Speaker 1: college football is a community day. Everybody's just sitting around

2769
02:03:37,640 --> 02:03:40,280
Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter what the games are. Sundays are

2770
02:03:40,440 --> 02:03:43,280
Speaker 1: much more about my favorite team is playing, do you

2771
02:03:43,360 --> 02:03:45,520
Speaker 1: want to watch with me? And it's a much different

2772
02:03:45,600 --> 02:03:48,560
Speaker 1: vibe in that sense, Like Sundays are much more intentional,

2773
02:03:48,640 --> 02:03:50,600
Speaker 1: Like I don't have a lot of Sundays where I

2774
02:03:50,680 --> 02:03:52,480
Speaker 1: just get a group of guys together that are saying, hey,

2775
02:03:52,520 --> 02:03:54,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter what games are on, let's just

2776
02:03:54,520 --> 02:03:56,280
Speaker 1: sit on the couch and watch them all. But that

2777
02:03:56,480 --> 02:03:59,560
Speaker 1: is what Saturdays are in the South. So little different energy.

2778
02:03:59,600 --> 02:04:01,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, I know that it's going to feed me

2779
02:04:02,000 --> 02:04:03,600
Speaker 1: all the way through Sunday night football. Then I'm going

2780
02:04:03,640 --> 02:04:05,440
Speaker 1: to crash and sleep all day tomorrow and figure out

2781
02:04:05,440 --> 02:04:08,200
Speaker 1: what time is an appropriate time to start consuming edibles

2782
02:04:08,240 --> 02:04:09,440
Speaker 1: before the Raiders came Monday night.

2783
02:04:09,480 --> 02:04:12,200
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, look, you can start and it's five

2784
02:04:12,240 --> 02:04:15,440
Speaker 3: o'clock somewhere right we celebrate the passing and the legend

2785
02:04:15,440 --> 02:04:19,120
Speaker 3: that is Jimmy Buffett. That mantra remains, but we do

2786
02:04:19,200 --> 02:04:20,960
Speaker 3: have a full slate and in a half hour we

2787
02:04:21,040 --> 02:04:24,720
Speaker 3: get the Jaguars and Bill's another run with the Jaguars

2788
02:04:24,720 --> 02:04:28,040
Speaker 3: for US overseas. I know they're showing all the stats.

2789
02:04:28,080 --> 02:04:34,200
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence having another start in London. So the celebration

2790
02:04:34,400 --> 02:04:37,400
Speaker 3: they're in. Last week they beat up on an Atlanta

2791
02:04:37,480 --> 02:04:39,440
Speaker 3: squad and let's face it, they're not good. I heard

2792
02:04:39,480 --> 02:04:42,520
Speaker 3: you and Andy chopping it up about where the Falcons

2793
02:04:42,560 --> 02:04:45,720
Speaker 3: are right now. They're allergic to the forward pass. I

2794
02:04:45,720 --> 02:04:48,600
Speaker 3: always joke that Jason Witten is one of the greatest

2795
02:04:48,760 --> 02:04:51,840
Speaker 3: between the twenties tight ends I've ever seen, but that

2796
02:04:51,920 --> 02:04:54,320
Speaker 3: he was allergic to the painted grass with the exception

2797
02:04:54,400 --> 02:04:57,320
Speaker 3: of one or two years of his career. Right now,

2798
02:04:57,400 --> 02:05:00,480
Speaker 3: the Falcons. They don't want to pass the football, and

2799
02:05:00,800 --> 02:05:03,680
Speaker 3: they shouldn't because in theory they were built and constructed

2800
02:05:03,880 --> 02:05:07,000
Speaker 3: to run the ball effectively. But they're not necessarily doing

2801
02:05:07,040 --> 02:05:10,000
Speaker 3: that particularly well outside of a couple of bursts now

2802
02:05:10,040 --> 02:05:13,160
Speaker 3: and again and highlight real stuff from b John Robinson

2803
02:05:13,680 --> 02:05:16,280
Speaker 3: over all the offenses and flowing. But for the Jaguars,

2804
02:05:16,800 --> 02:05:20,000
Speaker 3: we were talking in the studio here is as Iilo

2805
02:05:20,120 --> 02:05:22,920
Speaker 3: is doing his update, like, yeah, it's Josh Allen versus

2806
02:05:23,000 --> 02:05:26,200
Speaker 3: Josh Allen. You know, the Josh Allen that most folks

2807
02:05:26,240 --> 02:05:30,320
Speaker 3: don't know about might terrorize Josh Allen of the Bills.

2808
02:05:30,320 --> 02:05:32,600
Speaker 3: And you know, that game against the Jets might as

2809
02:05:32,600 --> 02:05:34,960
Speaker 3: well have been twenty twenty two at this point, it

2810
02:05:35,040 --> 02:05:37,200
Speaker 3: seems so long ago with the way that offense is

2811
02:05:37,240 --> 02:05:40,760
Speaker 3: clicking right now and Stevan Diggs playing angry and he's

2812
02:05:40,760 --> 02:05:42,760
Speaker 3: gonna be angrier because they stole money out of his

2813
02:05:42,800 --> 02:05:44,360
Speaker 3: pocket for that beer celebration.

2814
02:05:45,680 --> 02:05:49,800
Speaker 1: Look, two things on this game. One, an importantly huge

2815
02:05:49,800 --> 02:05:51,640
Speaker 1: advantage for the Jacks that they've been able to stay

2816
02:05:51,640 --> 02:05:54,520
Speaker 1: over in London right like they just it's a huge advantage,

2817
02:05:54,640 --> 02:05:58,200
Speaker 1: at least in theory it should be. But to the

2818
02:05:58,320 --> 02:06:01,720
Speaker 1: fine the biggest question that have yet to have answered

2819
02:06:01,720 --> 02:06:06,000
Speaker 1: to me. Stefan Diggs scores runs them, takes two beers,

2820
02:06:06,280 --> 02:06:08,640
Speaker 1: smashes those beers together, that pours out the alcohol.

2821
02:06:08,640 --> 02:06:11,640
Speaker 3: We full stone cold Steve Austin absolutely and.

2822
02:06:12,440 --> 02:06:14,520
Speaker 1: I loved every second of it. But the first thing

2823
02:06:14,560 --> 02:06:17,400
Speaker 1: I thought, because I am cheap, is how much of

2824
02:06:17,480 --> 02:06:20,160
Speaker 1: those stadium beers cost. You're down to the front row.

2825
02:06:20,320 --> 02:06:21,960
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna have to either get the beer guy

2826
02:06:22,000 --> 02:06:24,000
Speaker 1: again or you're gonna have to go up to concessions

2827
02:06:24,040 --> 02:06:26,640
Speaker 1: and wait for beer. You might be a solid half

2828
02:06:26,640 --> 02:06:28,760
Speaker 1: an hour forty five minutes before you even get to

2829
02:06:28,840 --> 02:06:31,400
Speaker 1: another beer. And then those things were probably twenty bucks each.

2830
02:06:31,560 --> 02:06:33,360
Speaker 1: So of his fine, I just want to know, is

2831
02:06:33,400 --> 02:06:36,600
Speaker 1: the NFL finding the fans and reimbursing them for the

2832
02:06:36,600 --> 02:06:40,280
Speaker 1: beers that were maliciously taken from them, Like celebratory beer

2833
02:06:40,320 --> 02:06:41,920
Speaker 1: for an NFL player is not a reason that I

2834
02:06:41,960 --> 02:06:44,040
Speaker 1: want to have to buy another one. I'm just gonna

2835
02:06:44,040 --> 02:06:44,480
Speaker 1: be honest.

2836
02:06:44,640 --> 02:06:48,680
Speaker 3: Now, remember these are bills fans we're talking about. I mean,

2837
02:06:48,680 --> 02:06:52,480
Speaker 3: these are people that throw themselves through tables with regular herity.

2838
02:06:53,680 --> 02:06:55,680
Speaker 3: I don't think the cost of another beer if they're

2839
02:06:55,760 --> 02:06:59,760
Speaker 3: celebrating with Stefan Diggs and they're beating the tar out

2840
02:06:59,760 --> 02:07:02,360
Speaker 3: of the Dolphins is going to affect them very much.

2841
02:07:03,040 --> 02:07:06,320
Speaker 3: But he was fine, get this, thirteen six hundred and

2842
02:07:06,320 --> 02:07:09,880
Speaker 3: fifty nine dollars for unsportsmanlike conduct, wasn't flagged on the

2843
02:07:09,920 --> 02:07:12,920
Speaker 3: play and his fine for that and then doing the

2844
02:07:13,520 --> 02:07:17,960
Speaker 3: two short motion after scoring that The fines he accrued

2845
02:07:18,000 --> 02:07:20,960
Speaker 3: for those two things were far more than anybody for

2846
02:07:21,120 --> 02:07:24,400
Speaker 3: a big hit, except for it was Jalen Warren a

2847
02:07:24,400 --> 02:07:26,640
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago got fined forty eight thousand dollars

2848
02:07:26,720 --> 02:07:29,440
Speaker 3: for using his helmet. Otherwise, you got guys getting hit

2849
02:07:29,480 --> 02:07:33,320
Speaker 3: out of bounds, you got guys with unnecessary roughness penalties

2850
02:07:33,400 --> 02:07:36,440
Speaker 3: or whatever, and the fine schedule far less. And I

2851
02:07:36,560 --> 02:07:39,960
Speaker 3: know they take into account a man's salary, but thirteen

2852
02:07:40,040 --> 02:07:43,080
Speaker 3: grand for doing a stone cold celebration that you will

2853
02:07:43,120 --> 02:07:47,080
Speaker 3: probably use as your gift for a week's action is

2854
02:07:47,160 --> 02:07:47,920
Speaker 3: just absurd to me.

2855
02:07:48,840 --> 02:07:50,680
Speaker 1: That's the biggest part of it that you just said

2856
02:07:50,760 --> 02:07:53,240
Speaker 1: right there that I think is hypocritical by the league,

2857
02:07:53,320 --> 02:07:56,160
Speaker 1: because the NFL network has been showing that celebration as

2858
02:07:56,200 --> 02:07:58,240
Speaker 1: part of their hut, like when they show the highlights

2859
02:07:58,240 --> 02:08:01,480
Speaker 1: it's on TV. Everybody's gonna it's going to be repeatedly

2860
02:08:01,560 --> 02:08:04,480
Speaker 1: shown as something that speaks to the magic of going

2861
02:08:04,560 --> 02:08:06,640
Speaker 1: to a football game, right, Like you don't get to

2862
02:08:06,640 --> 02:08:08,840
Speaker 1: find somebody for it and then use it as part

2863
02:08:08,840 --> 02:08:11,000
Speaker 1: of what you use to advertise your sport. Like that

2864
02:08:11,080 --> 02:08:15,520
Speaker 1: seems just absolutely asinine to me. And the fins that

2865
02:08:15,560 --> 02:08:18,200
Speaker 1: we see for things like socks and you know whether

2866
02:08:18,280 --> 02:08:20,360
Speaker 1: or not they're being worn by Tyers Hills.

2867
02:08:20,040 --> 02:08:22,879
Speaker 3: Seven seven thousand dollars for not wearing socks.

2868
02:08:23,400 --> 02:08:26,240
Speaker 1: It's like seven grands. I mean for seven thousand dollars,

2869
02:08:26,280 --> 02:08:28,400
Speaker 1: I'll wear whatever socks you want me to wear, like let's.

2870
02:08:28,240 --> 02:08:29,280
Speaker 3: Be very clear about sure.

2871
02:08:29,800 --> 02:08:33,720
Speaker 1: But also there is just some level of lessons. It

2872
02:08:33,840 --> 02:08:37,040
Speaker 1: cheapens what a fine system is intended to do if

2873
02:08:37,040 --> 02:08:40,160
Speaker 1: you overfind for stupid things, because now all of a sudden,

2874
02:08:40,400 --> 02:08:42,960
Speaker 1: when you actually have a real punishment and you want

2875
02:08:43,000 --> 02:08:46,800
Speaker 1: to find somebody for it, it becomes laughable. If you

2876
02:08:46,880 --> 02:08:50,840
Speaker 1: make a sock infraction, we're seven thousand dollars and a

2877
02:08:50,920 --> 02:08:53,560
Speaker 1: late hit may be worth eleven thousand dollars. What are

2878
02:08:53,600 --> 02:08:56,520
Speaker 1: you really saying about health and safety of players and

2879
02:08:56,520 --> 02:08:58,560
Speaker 1: what message you're sending to players about whether or not

2880
02:08:58,600 --> 02:09:01,400
Speaker 1: they should follow the rules. Just the way the NFL

2881
02:09:02,120 --> 02:09:04,840
Speaker 1: figures out their fine structure, to me, makes absolutely no sense,

2882
02:09:05,040 --> 02:09:06,840
Speaker 1: and it makes the league look bad every time we

2883
02:09:06,880 --> 02:09:07,600
Speaker 1: see these numbers.

2884
02:09:07,720 --> 02:09:10,400
Speaker 3: Sometimes it feels like they're running a kangaroo court system

2885
02:09:10,440 --> 02:09:14,200
Speaker 3: where they're building towards a year end party. All the

2886
02:09:14,280 --> 02:09:17,600
Speaker 3: finds that have accrued. You know what, we'll actually get

2887
02:09:17,640 --> 02:09:20,560
Speaker 3: stuff from a little better restaurant down the street. Okay,

2888
02:09:21,040 --> 02:09:24,240
Speaker 3: maybe maybe we'll splurge and we'll get an extra you know,

2889
02:09:24,280 --> 02:09:26,360
Speaker 3: a couple dozen chicken fingers.

2890
02:09:26,880 --> 02:09:29,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna get the extra l Presidente margarita from Chili's

2891
02:09:29,800 --> 02:09:30,600
Speaker 1: for the year end party.

2892
02:09:30,720 --> 02:09:33,840
Speaker 3: That's it. You can get one of those. I'll even

2893
02:09:33,880 --> 02:09:37,000
Speaker 3: splurge for the extra line. He's Jason Fitch. You hear

2894
02:09:37,040 --> 02:09:39,880
Speaker 3: him with the Fellas and of course with us here

2895
02:09:39,920 --> 02:09:44,240
Speaker 3: today does work over at Yahoo talking college football, talking

2896
02:09:44,320 --> 02:09:48,280
Speaker 3: some fantasy football. A utility man, formerly in a band

2897
02:09:48,320 --> 02:09:50,960
Speaker 3: and musical director. He's worn a lot of hats. We're

2898
02:09:50,960 --> 02:09:53,440
Speaker 3: happy to have him in with us this morning. And

2899
02:09:53,480 --> 02:09:56,360
Speaker 3: I say that to America obviously to you as well.

2900
02:09:56,400 --> 02:09:58,560
Speaker 3: Good to have you here, Jason. To get to run

2901
02:09:58,600 --> 02:10:01,040
Speaker 3: it back a little bit Bill minus five. I think

2902
02:10:01,080 --> 02:10:04,560
Speaker 3: they route the Yeah, there's a Jaguars. There's no doubt

2903
02:10:04,600 --> 02:10:06,920
Speaker 3: there's like the Bills. This game will be done well

2904
02:10:06,920 --> 02:10:09,480
Speaker 3: before halftime. There any advantages we may have seen, And

2905
02:10:09,800 --> 02:10:12,600
Speaker 3: I see the stats pushed out and I take them

2906
02:10:12,600 --> 02:10:14,400
Speaker 3: all with the grain of salt. When you start going

2907
02:10:14,400 --> 02:10:18,040
Speaker 3: into your Pro Football Focus rankings or whatever, some folks

2908
02:10:18,120 --> 02:10:21,720
Speaker 3: use them as almost a cult like religion. But Trevor

2909
02:10:21,760 --> 02:10:24,760
Speaker 3: Lawrence sitting at number two on their quarterbacks, I'm like,

2910
02:10:24,920 --> 02:10:28,200
Speaker 3: how I watched the first four weeks of the season,

2911
02:10:28,440 --> 02:10:30,720
Speaker 3: and I like Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars a lot.

2912
02:10:30,880 --> 02:10:33,720
Speaker 3: To the point, we're coming into the year thinking the

2913
02:10:33,760 --> 02:10:38,480
Speaker 3: South was the path of least resistance, not expecting suddenly

2914
02:10:38,520 --> 02:10:40,840
Speaker 3: the Texans to raise their hand and saying we're not

2915
02:10:40,880 --> 02:10:43,640
Speaker 3: going quietly into the good night just yet. I thought,

2916
02:10:43,680 --> 02:10:48,680
Speaker 3: all right, the Jaguars offense comes back Ridley etn with

2917
02:10:48,800 --> 02:10:51,920
Speaker 3: Christian Kirk, this is a team that could be dangerous.

2918
02:10:51,920 --> 02:10:53,880
Speaker 3: And since I don't want to pick the Bengals because

2919
02:10:53,880 --> 02:10:57,120
Speaker 3: I didn't believe they'd be back, or just be lazy

2920
02:10:57,160 --> 02:10:59,280
Speaker 3: and take the Chiefs again, I'm like, all right, let's

2921
02:10:59,320 --> 02:11:01,960
Speaker 3: go off the grid. The Jaguars could make a run.

2922
02:11:02,280 --> 02:11:04,920
Speaker 3: I've not seen anything to this point that makes me

2923
02:11:05,000 --> 02:11:07,360
Speaker 3: believe they're that team through a quarter of the season.

2924
02:11:08,000 --> 02:11:09,960
Speaker 1: No, And I think that's one of the biggest shocks

2925
02:11:10,040 --> 02:11:14,080
Speaker 1: because we expected a leap forward, and part of that's

2926
02:11:14,440 --> 02:11:16,360
Speaker 1: based on the fact that Trevor Lawrence was so highly

2927
02:11:16,400 --> 02:11:19,080
Speaker 1: tied of coming out and then didn't look good enough

2928
02:11:19,120 --> 02:11:21,640
Speaker 1: in the beginning. Doug Peterson comes in and what did

2929
02:11:21,680 --> 02:11:25,240
Speaker 1: we say last year? Competent coaching has saved this young

2930
02:11:25,320 --> 02:11:28,400
Speaker 1: man and it has saved the relationship. And when Trevor

2931
02:11:28,440 --> 02:11:31,000
Speaker 1: Lawrence was drafted, I said several times at the time

2932
02:11:31,040 --> 02:11:33,520
Speaker 1: that the Jags would fail Trevor Lawrence. Before Trevor Lawrence

2933
02:11:33,560 --> 02:11:35,760
Speaker 1: failed the Jags. But now what do we have. We

2934
02:11:35,840 --> 02:11:38,480
Speaker 1: have this situation where I don't care what your metrics say.

2935
02:11:38,520 --> 02:11:40,560
Speaker 1: You do have to actually watch these games and see

2936
02:11:40,560 --> 02:11:43,320
Speaker 1: what he looks like. And I'll defer to my buddy

2937
02:11:43,360 --> 02:11:44,920
Speaker 1: that covers the Jags, and I asked him what do

2938
02:11:45,000 --> 02:11:47,280
Speaker 1: the Jags do well right now? And a week ago

2939
02:11:47,320 --> 02:11:49,960
Speaker 1: his answer was absolutely nothing. Everything that was supposed to

2940
02:11:50,000 --> 02:11:52,720
Speaker 1: be a strength looks confusing right now. They don't look

2941
02:11:52,760 --> 02:11:54,680
Speaker 1: like they're in sync. They don't have any rhythm. I

2942
02:11:54,680 --> 02:11:56,680
Speaker 1: thought Calvin Ridley would come out with the thunder of

2943
02:11:56,680 --> 02:11:59,400
Speaker 1: the Gods this year. He did Week one at times,

2944
02:11:59,400 --> 02:12:02,520
Speaker 1: and I thought, oh, this affirms everything we expected. But

2945
02:12:02,800 --> 02:12:05,400
Speaker 1: to your point, it's a Jags team where nothing looks

2946
02:12:05,440 --> 02:12:07,520
Speaker 1: easy right now, and I'm not sure one hundred percent

2947
02:12:07,720 --> 02:12:11,160
Speaker 1: what their intended identity is. I don't know what they're

2948
02:12:11,200 --> 02:12:14,400
Speaker 1: trying to accomplish. More weeks than not. The Jags last

2949
02:12:14,440 --> 02:12:16,560
Speaker 1: year felt like they had this special sauce to him.

2950
02:12:16,720 --> 02:12:18,760
Speaker 1: This year, it feels like that sandwich with the special

2951
02:12:18,760 --> 02:12:20,720
Speaker 1: sauce has been left out of the fridge too long

2952
02:12:20,920 --> 02:12:23,280
Speaker 1: and everything's just sort of questionable. You're like, is this

2953
02:12:23,360 --> 02:12:25,720
Speaker 1: meat still good? That's where we are with the Jackson

2954
02:12:25,840 --> 02:12:27,360
Speaker 1: They have plenty of time to get it right and

2955
02:12:27,400 --> 02:12:30,200
Speaker 1: plenty of talent to get it right. But right now

2956
02:12:30,800 --> 02:12:32,760
Speaker 1: I can't definitively tell you that I think the Jacks

2957
02:12:32,800 --> 02:12:34,960
Speaker 1: are gonna win that division. They've shown me nothing.

2958
02:12:35,320 --> 02:12:38,680
Speaker 3: Ridley with that huge first week last week, he did

2959
02:12:38,680 --> 02:12:41,360
Speaker 3: find the end zone, but three of four weeks he

2960
02:12:41,760 --> 02:12:45,440
Speaker 3: has been at forty receiving yards or fewer. And remember

2961
02:12:45,960 --> 02:12:49,280
Speaker 3: the Jags, all they did was solve a Brandon Stay

2962
02:12:49,440 --> 02:12:52,600
Speaker 3: defense in the second half of a game last year.

2963
02:12:52,840 --> 02:12:54,760
Speaker 3: I say that as I look at our guy, Isaac

2964
02:12:54,800 --> 02:12:57,200
Speaker 3: lowenkron scene if I could prompt a response on him,

2965
02:12:57,840 --> 02:13:00,720
Speaker 3: and he just started laughing and made a gesture that

2966
02:13:00,760 --> 02:13:03,760
Speaker 3: I won't bring on air. As the Chargers are enjoying

2967
02:13:04,160 --> 02:13:08,000
Speaker 3: their bye week, yes week five bye, and rarely do

2968
02:13:08,040 --> 02:13:10,040
Speaker 3: you say, hey, this is a good one for a team.

2969
02:13:10,280 --> 02:13:13,640
Speaker 3: They're banged up, they're hurt. You even had Justin Herbert

2970
02:13:13,880 --> 02:13:16,440
Speaker 3: with the hand injury last week. So all of that

2971
02:13:16,520 --> 02:13:19,200
Speaker 3: adds up to, all right, take the week off, set

2972
02:13:19,240 --> 02:13:21,880
Speaker 3: it and reset because I need a big battle against

2973
02:13:21,920 --> 02:13:23,240
Speaker 3: the Bears at the end of the month, and if

2974
02:13:23,240 --> 02:13:25,560
Speaker 3: they flex out of that game, I will go and

2975
02:13:25,640 --> 02:13:29,080
Speaker 3: cause problems in the league office. He's Jason Fitz. Hey,

2976
02:13:29,120 --> 02:13:32,560
Speaker 3: I'm celebrating it on Sunday Night football, baby, unless they

2977
02:13:32,560 --> 02:13:34,840
Speaker 3: screw me. He's Jason fitz I'm buy carbon. This is

2978
02:13:34,880 --> 02:13:37,720
Speaker 3: Fox Football Sunday, Fox Sports Radio. And we got an

2979
02:13:37,760 --> 02:13:41,760
Speaker 3: announcement yesterday that I think left everybody a little shocked.

2980
02:13:41,760 --> 02:13:44,920
Speaker 3: In between all of our college football watching, an alert

2981
02:13:44,960 --> 02:13:48,040
Speaker 3: that came across your phone. You went, hey, we'll make

2982
02:13:48,080 --> 02:13:52,160
Speaker 3: it make sense next on Fox Welcome back in Fox

2983
02:13:52,200 --> 02:13:55,200
Speaker 3: Football Sunday, Fox Sports Radio Live from the Tirerack dot

2984
02:13:55,200 --> 02:13:58,760
Speaker 3: Com studios, Mike Carmon alongside Jason Fitz As we get

2985
02:13:58,800 --> 02:14:02,360
Speaker 3: ready the final minute, I head of your lineups being

2986
02:14:02,520 --> 02:14:06,800
Speaker 3: locked for this week in the fantasy world as related

2987
02:14:06,880 --> 02:14:10,839
Speaker 3: to your Bills and Jaguars players, as I'm still lamenting

2988
02:14:10,880 --> 02:14:14,560
Speaker 3: the fact that somehow someway I didn't start Logan Thomas

2989
02:14:14,640 --> 02:14:18,520
Speaker 3: the other night in my fantasy lineup when everything I

2990
02:14:18,840 --> 02:14:21,880
Speaker 3: did was to pick him up to play him, because

2991
02:14:21,920 --> 02:14:24,040
Speaker 3: you get caught up in life, and well, let's just

2992
02:14:24,080 --> 02:14:28,480
Speaker 3: face it, sometimes other things become more important. At least

2993
02:14:28,520 --> 02:14:31,760
Speaker 3: that's what I have to tell myself today, Jason, because.

2994
02:14:31,520 --> 02:14:34,360
Speaker 1: The number of time, the number of times I have

2995
02:14:34,680 --> 02:14:38,720
Speaker 1: forgotten and in the process of hosting shows about fantasy

2996
02:14:38,800 --> 02:14:41,800
Speaker 1: and talking about fantasy on different things, the number of

2997
02:14:41,840 --> 02:14:44,160
Speaker 1: times I have forgotten to set my roster this year

2998
02:14:44,240 --> 02:14:46,680
Speaker 1: is uncomfortable. And it's like, I feel like I'm spending

2999
02:14:46,680 --> 02:14:49,160
Speaker 1: so much time telling everybody else, don't forget there's an

3000
02:14:49,160 --> 02:14:51,879
Speaker 1: early game, and yet we went into the last commercial

3001
02:14:51,880 --> 02:14:53,960
Speaker 1: and I thought, oh man, who do I have in

3002
02:14:53,960 --> 02:14:55,360
Speaker 1: the early game? Like I need to take a look

3003
02:14:55,360 --> 02:14:57,800
Speaker 1: at this like it is. It is funny how it's

3004
02:14:57,800 --> 02:15:00,000
Speaker 1: almost like, you know, chefs don't like to cook it

3005
02:15:00,040 --> 02:15:02,560
Speaker 1: at home. Sometimes you just feel like you just forget

3006
02:15:02,640 --> 02:15:05,800
Speaker 1: all this stuff. And this year has been so wildly

3007
02:15:05,840 --> 02:15:09,560
Speaker 1: inconsistent across the NFL, It's made it a tougher year

3008
02:15:09,600 --> 02:15:12,120
Speaker 1: than ever, not just for fantasy but for gambling. Two

3009
02:15:12,160 --> 02:15:15,680
Speaker 1: things that I like doing have been become maddeningly inconsistent.

3010
02:15:15,720 --> 02:15:17,839
Speaker 1: In the spot where I feel like I'm driving myself crazy,

3011
02:15:18,040 --> 02:15:20,240
Speaker 1: Above and beyond just I got this game wrong. The

3012
02:15:20,320 --> 02:15:22,240
Speaker 1: number of times I'm looking at it and saying, who

3013
02:15:22,280 --> 02:15:24,680
Speaker 1: went off on my bench? Like how did that happen?

3014
02:15:25,000 --> 02:15:28,360
Speaker 1: It is It is frustrating to say the absolute.

3015
02:15:27,920 --> 02:15:30,680
Speaker 3: Least, the old rule of do as I say, not

3016
02:15:31,080 --> 02:15:36,000
Speaker 3: as I do is a reality, There's no question about it.

3017
02:15:36,080 --> 02:15:37,800
Speaker 3: As we get ready for this game just a couple

3018
02:15:37,840 --> 02:15:43,080
Speaker 3: of minutes now before kickoff, obviously from an injury standpoint

3019
02:15:43,160 --> 02:15:45,440
Speaker 3: where at least in a pretty good spot and you

3020
02:15:45,440 --> 02:15:48,360
Speaker 3: get von Miller back on the field, he started giving

3021
02:15:48,480 --> 02:15:52,800
Speaker 3: huge percentages of SAX and victories and stuff, so you

3022
02:15:52,840 --> 02:15:55,920
Speaker 3: know you blame him if things go wrong in this one.

3023
02:15:56,080 --> 02:15:58,920
Speaker 3: It's a difficult proposition for the Jaguars, even with all

3024
02:15:59,000 --> 02:16:03,280
Speaker 3: the creature come efforts of moving in to the area

3025
02:16:03,440 --> 02:16:06,840
Speaker 3: for the extra week. I'm still wringing my hands over

3026
02:16:06,880 --> 02:16:09,280
Speaker 3: this one. And I know plenty of folks. My brothers

3027
02:16:09,280 --> 02:16:12,160
Speaker 3: are headed to a bar in Chicago that is opening

3028
02:16:12,240 --> 02:16:15,600
Speaker 3: in Buffalo. The mayor went out of the way to say, hey,

3029
02:16:16,280 --> 02:16:18,920
Speaker 3: you know what, let's change some rules so you can

3030
02:16:18,960 --> 02:16:21,680
Speaker 3: get to the bar early and get after it here

3031
02:16:21,760 --> 02:16:26,000
Speaker 3: because of the special time talk about getting re elected

3032
02:16:26,440 --> 02:16:30,160
Speaker 3: and also increasing that tax base, no question about it.

3033
02:16:30,400 --> 02:16:32,840
Speaker 3: Just like Jonathan Taylor, not that he already wasn't in

3034
02:16:32,879 --> 02:16:35,800
Speaker 3: the highest tax bracket, but he'll trade it all for

3035
02:16:35,920 --> 02:16:39,120
Speaker 3: just a little bit more, a three year, forty two

3036
02:16:39,200 --> 02:16:43,840
Speaker 3: million dollar contract extension. Everybody's saying, oh, it's broken, it's fractured.

3037
02:16:44,240 --> 02:16:48,880
Speaker 3: Jim Orsay said those terrible things about him being dead

3038
02:16:48,920 --> 02:16:53,039
Speaker 3: and Taylor gone. They can't repair it. I laughed like

3039
02:16:53,080 --> 02:16:57,080
Speaker 3: the million dollar man, HAA, Cause all it took was

3040
02:16:57,120 --> 02:17:02,040
Speaker 3: everybody's got a price. It's business, it's not personal, and

3041
02:17:02,120 --> 02:17:03,959
Speaker 3: you look around and you're able to sell them this.

3042
02:17:04,080 --> 02:17:07,800
Speaker 3: Richardson kids looked pretty good. Ryan Kelly's coming back off

3043
02:17:07,800 --> 02:17:11,760
Speaker 3: concussion protocol also brought a twins home, So congratulation to

3044
02:17:12,400 --> 02:17:14,560
Speaker 3: he and his wife. They they've had a long process.

3045
02:17:14,560 --> 02:17:17,039
Speaker 3: You can read all about that in the Indie Star

3046
02:17:17,360 --> 02:17:19,920
Speaker 3: and everything there. But you get an anchor to your

3047
02:17:19,959 --> 02:17:26,360
Speaker 3: offensive lineback and Taylor alongside Zach Moss, we're talking about

3048
02:17:26,360 --> 02:17:30,560
Speaker 3: the South and potentially being a little bit up for grabs. Well,

3049
02:17:30,640 --> 02:17:35,000
Speaker 3: the Colts sheepishly raised their hands and they settled the angst.

3050
02:17:35,520 --> 02:17:37,920
Speaker 3: It didn't look good when Taylor made his speech the

3051
02:17:37,959 --> 02:17:41,200
Speaker 3: other day, Jason right telling you know, I'm here whatever,

3052
02:17:41,760 --> 02:17:45,080
Speaker 3: and then just forty eight hours later, tada, there's a

3053
02:17:45,120 --> 02:17:48,520
Speaker 3: contract extension. Probably a different tone at tennor if you

3054
02:17:48,560 --> 02:17:50,080
Speaker 3: were to take the podium today.

3055
02:17:50,840 --> 02:17:53,680
Speaker 1: The thing that surprises me isn't because you're a thousand

3056
02:17:53,680 --> 02:17:55,640
Speaker 1: percent right, you know, and I love the million dollar

3057
02:17:55,720 --> 02:18:00,040
Speaker 1: man portion of this, Like everybody has the price. What

3058
02:18:00,120 --> 02:18:03,280
Speaker 1: prized me was that that price was met, right like,

3059
02:18:03,320 --> 02:18:05,840
Speaker 1: because the concept that this would never get worked out

3060
02:18:06,360 --> 02:18:08,960
Speaker 1: was all gonna be about money. So then the question

3061
02:18:09,080 --> 02:18:12,520
Speaker 1: becomes is it worth paying a running back astronomical amounts

3062
02:18:12,560 --> 02:18:14,680
Speaker 1: of money? They found a happy medium on it for

3063
02:18:14,680 --> 02:18:16,440
Speaker 1: a player that, by the way, is only twenty four

3064
02:18:16,600 --> 02:18:19,560
Speaker 1: right like, So if you were Jonathan Taylor like this

3065
02:18:19,640 --> 02:18:21,760
Speaker 1: is this is your big dollars, Like you may not

3066
02:18:21,840 --> 02:18:24,320
Speaker 1: get another contract that's anywhere near this, but you get

3067
02:18:24,320 --> 02:18:28,400
Speaker 1: this one massive payday and obviously it sort of calms

3068
02:18:28,440 --> 02:18:30,879
Speaker 1: this thing down and and some of the questions. The

3069
02:18:30,920 --> 02:18:33,840
Speaker 1: Colts have been better than any of us expected without

3070
02:18:33,920 --> 02:18:36,279
Speaker 1: him playing, and they've even needed to use Gardner Minshew

3071
02:18:36,320 --> 02:18:39,360
Speaker 1: in a game. So I'm genuinely excited to see what

3072
02:18:39,480 --> 02:18:42,360
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson looks like with Jonathan Taylor. It will change

3073
02:18:42,360 --> 02:18:44,640
Speaker 1: the way everybody's defending him, and I think it will

3074
02:18:44,640 --> 02:18:46,800
Speaker 1: help with some of his accuracy issues too, just having

3075
02:18:46,840 --> 02:18:49,240
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor that you can throw the ball to. So

3076
02:18:49,640 --> 02:18:53,199
Speaker 1: you know, in my mind, this makes so much sense.

3077
02:18:53,560 --> 02:18:55,959
Speaker 1: If we're forgiving of the contract portion of it. We

3078
02:18:56,080 --> 02:18:59,840
Speaker 1: just all, myself included, became really dug into the Colts

3079
02:18:59,800 --> 02:19:01,520
Speaker 1: st aren't going to offer the money and if they

3080
02:19:01,520 --> 02:19:04,160
Speaker 1: don't offer the money, it never gets fixed. Well, surprise,

3081
02:19:04,560 --> 02:19:07,400
Speaker 1: they offered the money and now suddenly everything's going to

3082
02:19:07,440 --> 02:19:09,720
Speaker 1: be just fine. So I think it's a smart move

3083
02:19:09,760 --> 02:19:12,400
Speaker 1: by the Colts. I can't say that loud enough. If

3084
02:19:12,440 --> 02:19:14,840
Speaker 1: you want Anthony Richardson to have the chance to develop

3085
02:19:14,879 --> 02:19:17,240
Speaker 1: as a young quarterback. Give him a great running back

3086
02:19:17,240 --> 02:19:19,440
Speaker 1: that can also catch the ball to work with, Give

3087
02:19:19,520 --> 02:19:22,200
Speaker 1: him the opportunity to help that in his development. Give

3088
02:19:22,280 --> 02:19:25,600
Speaker 1: him the opportunity to see defenses play against Jonathan Taylor

3089
02:19:25,640 --> 02:19:28,480
Speaker 1: as much as they play against Anthony Richardson. To me,

3090
02:19:28,560 --> 02:19:31,240
Speaker 1: it makes Anthony Richardson a better quarterback for the next

3091
02:19:31,240 --> 02:19:34,039
Speaker 1: three years. That's the most important thing the organization could do.

3092
02:19:34,120 --> 02:19:34,560
Speaker 3: I love it.

3093
02:19:34,600 --> 02:19:35,680
Speaker 1: I think it makes a lot of sense.

3094
02:19:35,760 --> 02:19:39,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, and look for the running back position. I understand,

3095
02:19:39,560 --> 02:19:42,480
Speaker 3: And usually I'm on the side of, yeah, don't do it.

3096
02:19:42,480 --> 02:19:46,240
Speaker 3: You don't have to. There are circumstances whereby you look

3097
02:19:46,240 --> 02:19:49,720
Speaker 3: at the way a roster is constructed and trying to

3098
02:19:49,760 --> 02:19:53,879
Speaker 3: bring Richardson along and recognizing that the window to compete

3099
02:19:54,240 --> 02:19:58,280
Speaker 3: is also now right. Normally you draft that highly and

3100
02:19:58,320 --> 02:20:00,640
Speaker 3: you're bringing in a quarterback on us, you've made a

3101
02:20:00,680 --> 02:20:03,080
Speaker 3: trade up, and you've had circumstances work. I'm in like

3102
02:20:03,400 --> 02:20:07,240
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers famously have the Trey Lance situation

3103
02:20:08,280 --> 02:20:11,359
Speaker 3: that most guys get fired. But when your team runs,

3104
02:20:12,080 --> 02:20:15,480
Speaker 3: you know, like a Swiss watch, it doesn't matter, right.

3105
02:20:15,520 --> 02:20:17,360
Speaker 3: You can say, oh, yeah, we swung and miss on

3106
02:20:17,400 --> 02:20:20,680
Speaker 3: that one. Hey, Let's see in the NFC title game, right,

3107
02:20:20,680 --> 02:20:24,000
Speaker 3: you're able to do that most teams you're drafting that highly.

3108
02:20:24,280 --> 02:20:28,280
Speaker 3: It's organizationally, you've got problems. Right, Maybe you have an

3109
02:20:28,280 --> 02:20:31,280
Speaker 3: outlier like the Colts did all those years ago, where

3110
02:20:31,280 --> 02:20:35,400
Speaker 3: you go from Peyton Manning and next surgeries. You have

3111
02:20:35,440 --> 02:20:38,560
Speaker 3: one bad year and ta dah, there's Andrew Luck. That

3112
02:20:38,640 --> 02:20:42,960
Speaker 3: doesn't happen very often, right, Normally it's years and years

3113
02:20:42,959 --> 02:20:45,880
Speaker 3: of pain and misery. Trust me, I'm a Bears fan.

3114
02:20:45,959 --> 02:20:49,560
Speaker 3: I've watched it all, which is why everybody's just presuming

3115
02:20:49,600 --> 02:20:52,400
Speaker 3: that Justin Fields is going to be a fail based

3116
02:20:52,440 --> 02:20:55,240
Speaker 3: on the organization. No matter what he can do properly,

3117
02:20:55,360 --> 02:20:58,520
Speaker 3: it's the well, the organization will fail him. So it's

3118
02:20:58,560 --> 02:21:01,879
Speaker 3: not gonna matter. With the Colts, we don't know that.

3119
02:21:02,360 --> 02:21:04,640
Speaker 3: But you have a window whereby you can go win

3120
02:21:04,720 --> 02:21:07,840
Speaker 3: and potentially steal the division. Now, so it changes the

3121
02:21:07,879 --> 02:21:10,600
Speaker 3: math when you're relating back to your running back position,

3122
02:21:10,760 --> 02:21:13,720
Speaker 3: saying should we pay this guy or not? Because Zach

3123
02:21:13,800 --> 02:21:15,920
Speaker 3: Moss through the first couple weeks of the season, Jason,

3124
02:21:16,080 --> 02:21:18,280
Speaker 3: I think he would have argued, do we really need

3125
02:21:18,280 --> 02:21:21,520
Speaker 3: to pay this guy? Right? I mean not that he

3126
02:21:21,640 --> 02:21:24,000
Speaker 3: was great, but he was pretty good in a lot

3127
02:21:24,040 --> 02:21:24,560
Speaker 3: of spots.

3128
02:21:25,480 --> 02:21:28,120
Speaker 1: You're a thousand percent right, Like the Zach Moss has

3129
02:21:28,160 --> 02:21:30,520
Speaker 1: been sort of one of the more pleasant surprises of

3130
02:21:30,560 --> 02:21:34,000
Speaker 1: the early portion of the season. Also, you're right that

3131
02:21:34,240 --> 02:21:36,520
Speaker 1: it's not just even about the fact that the Colts

3132
02:21:36,640 --> 02:21:38,800
Speaker 1: look a little ahead of schedule. It's a fact that

3133
02:21:39,040 --> 02:21:42,200
Speaker 1: Jacksonville doesn't look like they're all right right now, and

3134
02:21:42,280 --> 02:21:44,600
Speaker 1: the rest of this division is so up in the air.

3135
02:21:45,000 --> 02:21:47,440
Speaker 1: If you're in the Colts right now, if you're in

3136
02:21:47,440 --> 02:21:49,800
Speaker 1: the organization, and much like in an NBA season, at

3137
02:21:49,800 --> 02:21:51,960
Speaker 1: some point you have to decide, hey, are we buyers

3138
02:21:52,040 --> 02:21:53,879
Speaker 1: or sellers? In Major League Baseball, you got to decide

3139
02:21:53,879 --> 02:21:55,720
Speaker 1: if your buyers are sellers. We're only a month in,

3140
02:21:56,000 --> 02:21:57,880
Speaker 1: and it'd be super easy to say, hey, we don't

3141
02:21:57,920 --> 02:22:00,440
Speaker 1: know yet, but what we do know that is Shane

3142
02:22:00,480 --> 02:22:04,560
Speaker 1: Steichen's got that team playing offensively far better than anybody expected.

3143
02:22:04,800 --> 02:22:07,040
Speaker 1: I wonder if that has to change some of your mindset,

3144
02:22:07,120 --> 02:22:10,440
Speaker 1: Like if you organizationally are going to Jim Mersay and saying, look,

3145
02:22:10,440 --> 02:22:12,240
Speaker 1: I know everybody says, don't pay a running back, but

3146
02:22:12,320 --> 02:22:14,360
Speaker 1: look at what we're doing right now, and look at

3147
02:22:14,400 --> 02:22:16,480
Speaker 1: how much better we can be doing. I think it

3148
02:22:16,520 --> 02:22:18,680
Speaker 1: does make it easy. If you're zero and four and

3149
02:22:18,760 --> 02:22:21,640
Speaker 1: this season looks like it's lost because you're developing your quarterback,

3150
02:22:21,760 --> 02:22:23,360
Speaker 1: Do you really want to pay that much money to

3151
02:22:23,360 --> 02:22:23,959
Speaker 1: a running back?

3152
02:22:24,000 --> 02:22:24,360
Speaker 3: Maybe not.

3153
02:22:24,680 --> 02:22:26,960
Speaker 1: But if you are two and two and super competitive

3154
02:22:27,000 --> 02:22:29,480
Speaker 1: in that two and two with a big win over

3155
02:22:29,480 --> 02:22:31,080
Speaker 1: the Ravens, that I think matters a lot in the

3156
02:22:31,080 --> 02:22:33,480
Speaker 1: way that things are seen and a game that could

3157
02:22:33,480 --> 02:22:36,360
Speaker 1: have gone your way against the Rams, you can easily

3158
02:22:36,400 --> 02:22:38,160
Speaker 1: go in at this point to ursay and say, hey,

3159
02:22:38,400 --> 02:22:41,040
Speaker 1: we're one player away from being three and one right now,

3160
02:22:41,040 --> 02:22:43,280
Speaker 1: not just two and two, Like, we need to spend

3161
02:22:43,320 --> 02:22:45,600
Speaker 1: this money because it will make us right now today

3162
02:22:45,680 --> 02:22:48,200
Speaker 1: this year, mean more to the city, mean more to

3163
02:22:48,240 --> 02:22:50,320
Speaker 1: the NFL, and have a better shot at winning some

3164
02:22:50,400 --> 02:22:53,000
Speaker 1: games while we develop Anthony Richardson. That makes it a

3165
02:22:53,000 --> 02:22:55,199
Speaker 1: heck of a lot easier to write that big money check.

3166
02:22:55,360 --> 02:22:57,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's far from being a finished product and

3167
02:22:57,920 --> 02:23:00,880
Speaker 3: a lot of questions given the lack of Legion experience

3168
02:23:00,959 --> 02:23:04,240
Speaker 3: right on even sixteen games when he was at his best.

3169
02:23:04,520 --> 02:23:08,440
Speaker 3: We were talking September Heisman a year ago, so you know,

3170
02:23:08,480 --> 02:23:11,640
Speaker 3: because we love to do September Heisman's along the way,

3177
02:23:31,320 --> 02:23:35,039
Speaker 3: in the NFL, and last hour I did my best

3178
02:23:35,040 --> 02:23:38,680
Speaker 3: to bite my tongue when a certain name was mentioned.

3179
02:23:39,200 --> 02:23:40,560
Speaker 3: I don't have to do it as soon as our

3180
02:23:40,560 --> 02:23:44,119
Speaker 3: guy Isaac Lohencron has done with his update this time around.

3181
02:23:44,120 --> 02:23:46,080
Speaker 3: So let's kick it over to Ilo find out what's

3182
02:23:46,120 --> 02:23:47,600
Speaker 3: trending in our sporting universe.

3183
02:23:47,720 --> 02:23:50,480
Speaker 4: And that is exactly what is happening right now, Fellows.

3184
02:23:50,520 --> 02:23:54,160
Speaker 4: The opening kickoff in London the Buffalo Bills and the

3185
02:23:54,280 --> 02:23:58,920
Speaker 4: Jacksonville Jaguars, and get this, the opening kickoff was actually

3186
02:23:58,920 --> 02:24:02,720
Speaker 4: not a touchback. The Jaguars returned out to the fifteen

3187
02:24:02,840 --> 02:24:05,240
Speaker 4: yard line where Trevor Lawrence will take the field and

3188
02:24:05,280 --> 02:24:08,119
Speaker 4: among the things he's dealing with today. A Buffalo Bills

3189
02:24:08,160 --> 02:24:10,720
Speaker 4: fan in London holding up a sign in the stadium

3190
02:24:10,720 --> 02:24:17,040
Speaker 4: that reads night quote Trevor Lawrence eats boneless Wings, unquote anyway.

3191
02:24:17,080 --> 02:24:19,879
Speaker 4: Buffalo three and one, Jacksonville two and two. In Major

3192
02:24:19,920 --> 02:24:23,560
Speaker 4: League Baseball on Saturday night, the Arizona Diamondbacks pummeled the

3193
02:24:23,600 --> 02:24:26,039
Speaker 4: Los Angeles Dodgers in Game one of the National League

3194
02:24:26,040 --> 02:24:30,240
Speaker 4: Division Series eleven to two, as Clayton Kershaw allowed six

3195
02:24:30,320 --> 02:24:32,800
Speaker 4: runs on six hits in just a third of an inning.

3196
02:24:33,040 --> 02:24:37,280
Speaker 4: College football Saturday Night, ninth ranked USC in triple overtime

3197
02:24:37,400 --> 02:24:41,160
Speaker 4: survived over Arizona forty three to forty one. The finish

3198
02:24:41,160 --> 02:24:44,560
Speaker 4: of the night, though Georgia Tech winning at seventeenth ranked

3199
02:24:44,560 --> 02:24:48,480
Speaker 4: Miami twenty three to twenty Miami could have kneeled down

3200
02:24:48,600 --> 02:24:51,680
Speaker 4: to run out the clock because Georgia Tech was out

3201
02:24:51,720 --> 02:24:54,760
Speaker 4: of timeouts. Instead, they ran a play and fumbled the

3202
02:24:54,760 --> 02:24:57,080
Speaker 4: ball to Georgia Tech with twenty six seconds to go.

3203
02:24:57,480 --> 02:25:00,360
Speaker 4: They went down the field and Georgia Tech's Haynes King

3204
02:25:00,520 --> 02:25:02,840
Speaker 4: rode the game winning forty four yard touchdown passed to

3205
02:25:02,920 --> 02:25:05,880
Speaker 4: Christian Leary with one second to play. Number twenty four

3206
02:25:05,920 --> 02:25:08,959
Speaker 4: Louisville over tenth th rank Notre Dame thirty three to twenty.

3207
02:25:09,280 --> 02:25:12,360
Speaker 4: Louisville running back Joward Jordan ran for one forty three,

3208
02:25:12,560 --> 02:25:16,240
Speaker 4: including touchdown runs of fifty one yards and twenty one yards.

3209
02:25:16,360 --> 02:25:19,560
Speaker 4: Louisville now six and Oh fellows, all yours.

3210
02:25:19,440 --> 02:25:21,720
Speaker 3: Thanks so much, Iilo. Look, you can say a lot

3211
02:25:21,720 --> 02:25:27,960
Speaker 3: of things about McDaniels and eber Fluse and even Brandon Staley.

3212
02:25:28,600 --> 02:25:33,200
Speaker 3: None of them have ever done that coaching malprattis that

3213
02:25:33,280 --> 02:25:37,160
Speaker 3: we saw yesterday. Yes Father's always said they sent it

3214
02:25:37,280 --> 02:25:39,160
Speaker 3: a chance, you know what. For you, though, Ilo, you

3215
02:25:39,200 --> 02:25:42,080
Speaker 3: don't have to worry about it this week, thankfully, because

3216
02:25:42,080 --> 02:25:45,879
Speaker 3: I'd love to hear that postgame show, no question about it.

3217
02:25:45,959 --> 02:25:48,840
Speaker 3: At Isaac lohen Crowd, where you find him on Twitter.

3218
02:25:48,879 --> 02:25:51,840
Speaker 3: He does work for angel City FC out here and

3219
02:25:51,920 --> 02:25:56,200
Speaker 3: of course part of the Chargers pre halftime and post

3220
02:25:56,760 --> 02:25:59,680
Speaker 3: here in Los Angeles. One of our great teammates here

3221
02:25:59,680 --> 02:26:02,240
Speaker 3: at fox Port Radio thanks to Shay and Mark making

3222
02:26:02,280 --> 02:26:05,320
Speaker 3: a sound so pretty, Mike Harmon alongside Jason Fitz live

3223
02:26:05,320 --> 02:26:10,520
Speaker 3: from the tyrac dot Com studios and Jason trades all around.

3224
02:26:10,520 --> 02:26:13,240
Speaker 3: We mentioned it a little bit earlier and it was

3225
02:26:13,280 --> 02:26:16,560
Speaker 3: something Kevin Wyert led with last hour just said, Hey,

3226
02:26:16,600 --> 02:26:20,240
Speaker 3: Chase Claypool wasn't gonna play today? I asked Jay Glazer

3227
02:26:20,280 --> 02:26:22,800
Speaker 3: the other day when he joined us in the aftermath

3228
02:26:22,840 --> 02:26:26,400
Speaker 3: of the Bears and Commander's game. I go, you know,

3229
02:26:27,200 --> 02:26:30,160
Speaker 3: you don't often say a guy not being around a

3230
02:26:30,200 --> 02:26:33,080
Speaker 3: team would have that much of a positive effect, But

3231
02:26:33,200 --> 02:26:35,760
Speaker 3: Chase Claypool not being around the team had that much

3232
02:26:35,840 --> 02:26:36,920
Speaker 3: of a positive effect.

3233
02:26:38,160 --> 02:26:42,000
Speaker 1: What's stunning about this? Two things? One, when are we

3234
02:26:42,040 --> 02:26:44,160
Speaker 1: gonna learn that when the Steelers give up on somebody,

3235
02:26:44,200 --> 02:26:46,959
Speaker 1: there's probably a reason? And number two, when are we

3236
02:26:47,000 --> 02:26:50,120
Speaker 1: gonna learn that Mike Tomlin is basically the Houdini of

3237
02:26:50,160 --> 02:26:54,600
Speaker 1: hiding drama? Like we never think of drama, particularly with

3238
02:26:54,720 --> 02:26:57,200
Speaker 1: the Steelers. And then every time it feels like one

3239
02:26:57,200 --> 02:26:59,560
Speaker 1: of these big name players moves on to another team,

3240
02:27:00,280 --> 02:27:03,600
Speaker 1: we realized that that player is just absolutely intolerable and

3241
02:27:03,640 --> 02:27:05,600
Speaker 1: incapable of being in a locker room and all of

3242
02:27:05,600 --> 02:27:09,119
Speaker 1: these other things, Like I look at this Chase claypol implosion,

3243
02:27:09,160 --> 02:27:11,720
Speaker 1: because here's the thing, it's easy right now to pile

3244
02:27:11,760 --> 02:27:13,400
Speaker 1: on the Bears and say, well, what are you doing?

3245
02:27:13,720 --> 02:27:16,920
Speaker 1: Multiple teams were interested in acquiring Chase Claypol. Let's not

3246
02:27:16,920 --> 02:27:18,960
Speaker 1: get it twisted, right, So then you got to look

3247
02:27:19,000 --> 02:27:20,680
Speaker 1: at it and say, how did everybody in the league,

3248
02:27:20,920 --> 02:27:23,840
Speaker 1: as connected and as good old boy as the league is,

3249
02:27:23,959 --> 02:27:26,359
Speaker 1: the way everybody talks to each other, how did nobody

3250
02:27:26,400 --> 02:27:27,960
Speaker 1: realize that it was going to be this much of

3251
02:27:28,000 --> 02:27:31,279
Speaker 1: a handful to acquire this player. That's the most stunning

3252
02:27:31,320 --> 02:27:31,760
Speaker 1: part to me.

3253
02:27:32,200 --> 02:27:34,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you look at the and we talked about

3254
02:27:34,760 --> 02:27:37,160
Speaker 3: it a little bit last week when he was going

3255
02:27:37,240 --> 02:27:40,560
Speaker 3: to be deactivated, and then Eberflus, in one of the

3256
02:27:40,600 --> 02:27:44,440
Speaker 3: weirdest press conferences ever, refused to answer the question. They

3257
02:27:44,480 --> 02:27:47,600
Speaker 3: didn't even talk about the collapse of the game against

3258
02:27:47,640 --> 02:27:50,480
Speaker 3: Denver or how well Justin Fields had played for a

3259
02:27:50,480 --> 02:27:53,320
Speaker 3: good chunk of it. It all became about, well, what's

3260
02:27:53,360 --> 02:27:55,280
Speaker 3: going on here? Because you weren't straight with us with

3261
02:27:55,360 --> 02:27:58,880
Speaker 3: Alan Williams, which I remind folks, nobody knows where that

3262
02:27:58,920 --> 02:28:01,400
Speaker 3: guy is or what the hell going on there. Your

3263
02:28:01,400 --> 02:28:05,280
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator leaves and it's like nothing to see here

3264
02:28:05,680 --> 02:28:09,160
Speaker 3: because of all the other drama and Chase Claypool's situation

3265
02:28:09,280 --> 02:28:14,000
Speaker 3: took so much. But look, Bill Belichick, the coach, whenever

3266
02:28:14,080 --> 02:28:17,160
Speaker 3: he says I'm done with the player, we make note

3267
02:28:17,200 --> 02:28:20,560
Speaker 3: of it. Whenever Mike Tomlin says goodbye to a player

3268
02:28:21,000 --> 02:28:23,520
Speaker 3: should take note of it. The guy's not fitting around

3269
02:28:23,520 --> 02:28:27,760
Speaker 3: when he's in the early stages of a rookie contract

3270
02:28:27,800 --> 02:28:29,200
Speaker 3: and he says, you know what, this is too much.

3271
02:28:29,240 --> 02:28:32,000
Speaker 3: Beat it. They got a second round pick. They turned

3272
02:28:32,000 --> 02:28:35,959
Speaker 3: it into Joey Porter Junior. Congratulations. The Bears had a

3273
02:28:36,000 --> 02:28:40,440
Speaker 3: guy that clearly didn't want to work and didn't whatever

3274
02:28:40,520 --> 02:28:42,879
Speaker 3: else was going on there. Hopefully you know there's a

3275
02:28:42,920 --> 02:28:45,520
Speaker 3: tell all documentary to come, because we get so many

3276
02:28:45,560 --> 02:28:49,880
Speaker 3: of them anymore. Is that, yes, there's people. There's always

3277
02:28:49,920 --> 02:28:52,240
Speaker 3: going to be someone at least the third or fourth

3278
02:28:52,240 --> 02:28:55,440
Speaker 3: team that in the NFL Jason that I'm the smartest

3279
02:28:55,440 --> 02:28:58,080
Speaker 3: guy in the room. I can fix him. And right

3280
02:28:58,120 --> 02:29:01,040
Speaker 3: now McDaniel's playing with a little bit of house money

3281
02:29:01,080 --> 02:29:03,840
Speaker 3: down there in Miami where he can say you don't

3282
02:29:03,840 --> 02:29:06,360
Speaker 3: bring him in. If it works, great, If not, it's

3283
02:29:06,360 --> 02:29:09,080
Speaker 3: a late round pick because we're not depending on him

3284
02:29:09,080 --> 02:29:12,119
Speaker 3: to come in and be the guy. He just needs

3285
02:29:12,160 --> 02:29:15,520
Speaker 3: to be a guy now, whether he can actually do

3286
02:29:15,560 --> 02:29:19,000
Speaker 3: that and acquiesce to whatever their standards are or whatever,

3287
02:29:19,080 --> 02:29:21,040
Speaker 3: because I don't believe the Bears really have much of

3288
02:29:21,080 --> 02:29:23,680
Speaker 3: any But that's a whole other that's a whohole other

3289
02:29:23,800 --> 02:29:28,400
Speaker 3: process for another time. You know, when Eberflus is talking

3290
02:29:28,400 --> 02:29:32,320
Speaker 3: about you know, you gotta be on time, and that's

3291
02:29:32,360 --> 02:29:35,200
Speaker 3: the first thing you're mentioning. You gotta be on time

3292
02:29:35,920 --> 02:29:38,240
Speaker 3: is one of the big tenets of how you're gonna

3293
02:29:38,440 --> 02:29:43,240
Speaker 3: read team's success. That's a problem for me, but I.

3294
02:29:45,600 --> 02:29:48,160
Speaker 1: Love that concept of just being like, hey, guys, didn't

3295
02:29:48,200 --> 02:29:50,080
Speaker 1: win the game. Everybody was on time this week, though,

3296
02:29:50,120 --> 02:29:52,520
Speaker 1: So I feel like we're really committed to professionalism. It's

3297
02:29:52,720 --> 02:29:57,000
Speaker 1: it's about to really blow up your point on not

3298
02:29:57,120 --> 02:29:59,199
Speaker 1: just on Tomlin giving up on him, but I'm ware

3299
02:29:59,240 --> 02:30:00,640
Speaker 1: he was giving up on I think it is also

3300
02:30:00,760 --> 02:30:04,680
Speaker 1: significant here because rookie contracts are not that big of

3301
02:30:04,720 --> 02:30:06,920
Speaker 1: a hit, right. There was plenty of time for them

3302
02:30:07,560 --> 02:30:09,760
Speaker 1: to go ahead and see what they had with Chase Claypool.

3303
02:30:09,800 --> 02:30:12,400
Speaker 1: They did not do that, obviously, so you've got to

3304
02:30:12,440 --> 02:30:14,080
Speaker 1: look at it and say, well, why are they giving

3305
02:30:14,160 --> 02:30:16,039
Speaker 1: up on the player? And then I guess my other

3306
02:30:16,160 --> 02:30:19,440
Speaker 1: question is, in today's world, why are you trading for

3307
02:30:19,520 --> 02:30:21,240
Speaker 1: a wide receiver? Again, I don't want to give the

3308
02:30:21,280 --> 02:30:23,680
Speaker 1: Bears a lot of grief here because multiple teams were

3309
02:30:23,680 --> 02:30:26,360
Speaker 1: interested in doing this, but I feel like every year

3310
02:30:26,360 --> 02:30:28,680
Speaker 1: I've covered the NFL Draft over the last what six

3311
02:30:28,760 --> 02:30:31,280
Speaker 1: years that I covered it. Every single year, we're coming

3312
02:30:31,280 --> 02:30:34,279
Speaker 1: in saying, well, the wide receivers room just looks stacked.

3313
02:30:34,320 --> 02:30:36,680
Speaker 1: There are so many wide receivers, yet you're trading a

3314
02:30:36,720 --> 02:30:39,360
Speaker 1: second round pick for a wide receiver. I don't really

3315
02:30:39,440 --> 02:30:42,440
Speaker 1: understand the logic from the outset, and you bring somebody

3316
02:30:42,480 --> 02:30:45,640
Speaker 1: in that's having a whatever this issue is with Chicago.

3317
02:30:45,959 --> 02:30:48,080
Speaker 1: If you're Miami, your only hope is that it's a

3318
02:30:48,080 --> 02:30:50,440
Speaker 1: wake up call of hey, this is his probably like,

3319
02:30:50,680 --> 02:30:53,000
Speaker 1: you're not good enough to get to bounce from team

3320
02:30:53,040 --> 02:30:54,720
Speaker 1: to team to team to team to team and still

3321
02:30:54,760 --> 02:30:56,880
Speaker 1: make a living. If it's Chase Claypool, at some point

3322
02:30:56,959 --> 02:30:59,240
Speaker 1: you're going to have to come in and show tremendous

3323
02:30:59,320 --> 02:31:02,400
Speaker 1: production that matches what people think not only you should

3324
02:31:02,440 --> 02:31:04,480
Speaker 1: be able to do, but what people think the level

3325
02:31:04,520 --> 02:31:06,240
Speaker 1: of pain in the butt you are is right, Like,

3326
02:31:06,320 --> 02:31:08,200
Speaker 1: so you're gonna have to match all of that if

3327
02:31:08,240 --> 02:31:11,680
Speaker 1: you Chase Claypool with Miami, which in theory is easy

3328
02:31:11,720 --> 02:31:13,800
Speaker 1: to do because Miami gets all the benefit of the

3329
02:31:13,800 --> 02:31:16,480
Speaker 1: doubt for the way they run that offense. But also,

3330
02:31:16,600 --> 02:31:18,879
Speaker 1: what's your target share going to look like like there

3331
02:31:18,920 --> 02:31:20,800
Speaker 1: are plenty of weapons there in Miami. So if you

3332
02:31:20,920 --> 02:31:23,120
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool, you got to accept that you're now going

3333
02:31:23,160 --> 02:31:25,200
Speaker 1: to have to do all the work that apparently Chicago

3334
02:31:25,280 --> 02:31:28,039
Speaker 1: didn't think you were doing while you get less targets

3335
02:31:28,080 --> 02:31:30,880
Speaker 1: because you are not going to take targets from you know,

3336
02:31:31,000 --> 02:31:33,000
Speaker 1: Tyreek or Waddle. You're like, you're not going to take

3337
02:31:33,040 --> 02:31:35,640
Speaker 1: those targets away. If you're Chase, you got to be

3338
02:31:35,720 --> 02:31:39,480
Speaker 1: happier in a lot, in a lesser role that gives

3339
02:31:39,480 --> 02:31:41,800
Speaker 1: you the chance to rebuild your image. That's asking a

3340
02:31:41,800 --> 02:31:43,840
Speaker 1: lot for a young man that was traded because he

3341
02:31:43,920 --> 02:31:47,520
Speaker 1: simply couldn't connect with the current team that he was on.

3342
02:31:47,760 --> 02:31:49,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, the measurables all there. And I don't know if

3343
02:31:49,879 --> 02:31:53,440
Speaker 3: Chase Claypool to some degree in Chicago because the let's

3344
02:31:53,440 --> 02:31:55,560
Speaker 3: face it, it has always been called the place where wide

3345
02:31:55,560 --> 02:31:58,959
Speaker 3: receivers go to die. That the acquisition of DJ Moore

3346
02:31:59,520 --> 02:32:03,000
Speaker 3: left him sour that he knew his share, especially with

3347
02:32:03,040 --> 02:32:06,160
Speaker 3: the connection that Field showed with Cole Kamet at times

3348
02:32:06,720 --> 02:32:10,440
Speaker 3: last year that he was their leading receiver, which he's

3349
02:32:10,480 --> 02:32:13,920
Speaker 3: now about to be eclipsed by DJ Moore in Week

3350
02:32:14,560 --> 02:32:17,880
Speaker 3: six in terms of yardage, which is a whole other

3351
02:32:17,920 --> 02:32:20,840
Speaker 3: thing last year. Yeah, DJ Moore has already got more

3352
02:32:20,840 --> 02:32:24,320
Speaker 3: receiving yards than any Bears wide receiver had a year ago. Also,

3353
02:32:24,360 --> 02:32:26,720
Speaker 3: go back to that box score against Washington. I made

3354
02:32:26,720 --> 02:32:28,320
Speaker 3: this point, and I don't know how many others did.

3355
02:32:28,680 --> 02:32:30,879
Speaker 3: DJ Moore was the only wide receiver to catch a

3356
02:32:30,920 --> 02:32:33,520
Speaker 3: ball from justin fields the other day. That's all I'm saying.

3357
02:32:33,680 --> 02:32:36,800
Speaker 3: The other two, the tight ends got into the mix.

3358
02:32:36,879 --> 02:32:40,240
Speaker 3: But you know, when you're coming in with expectations and

3359
02:32:40,280 --> 02:32:42,640
Speaker 3: you think you're the guy. I mean, the other thing

3360
02:32:42,680 --> 02:32:45,000
Speaker 3: that surface was that clipped the roundtable that he did

3361
02:32:45,000 --> 02:32:47,720
Speaker 3: with Brandon Marshall and others talking about himself as the

3362
02:32:47,760 --> 02:32:51,480
Speaker 3: top three, top five receiver in the game, and they

3363
02:32:51,600 --> 02:32:54,520
Speaker 3: encouraged it instead of someone said no, no knock, come

3364
02:32:54,560 --> 02:32:57,959
Speaker 3: on man. But when he came out of college like

3365
02:32:58,000 --> 02:32:59,680
Speaker 3: this guy could be a red zone threat, this guy

3366
02:32:59,680 --> 02:33:02,160
Speaker 3: could be a big kind of deal and Dj Moore

3367
02:33:02,200 --> 02:33:06,640
Speaker 3: comes in. Now you're shuffled to third at best behind

3368
02:33:06,760 --> 02:33:10,000
Speaker 3: More and Comet. Then maybe you're a little salty, maybe

3369
02:33:10,040 --> 02:33:13,320
Speaker 3: you're immature that way. You go down to Miami, you'd

3370
02:33:13,360 --> 02:33:15,160
Speaker 3: like to think you've been humbled a little bit. I've

3371
02:33:15,160 --> 02:33:17,640
Speaker 3: seen some folks theorize that they may convert him to

3372
02:33:17,720 --> 02:33:22,920
Speaker 3: tight end given the way his body, you know, size, speed,

3373
02:33:23,000 --> 02:33:27,480
Speaker 3: and athleticism. You know when he chooses to exhibit it

3374
02:33:27,480 --> 02:33:30,000
Speaker 3: could be. But it just goes to show you, folks,

3375
02:33:30,120 --> 02:33:32,359
Speaker 3: in any walk of life, and certainly in the NFL,

3376
02:33:32,720 --> 02:33:35,800
Speaker 3: there's always someone that will give you another chance, even

3377
02:33:35,840 --> 02:33:38,720
Speaker 3: if they know your backstory. Just keep keep your head

3378
02:33:38,760 --> 02:33:42,720
Speaker 3: down and try to do right because even this guy

3379
02:33:42,760 --> 02:33:45,800
Speaker 3: can fail into another job. Good for him.

3380
02:33:45,879 --> 02:33:49,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, but also quickly I will say this. You know

3381
02:33:49,680 --> 02:33:51,960
Speaker 1: as well as anybody, the ego hit it would take

3382
02:33:52,000 --> 02:33:54,360
Speaker 1: for a player to change positions at this point in

3383
02:33:54,400 --> 02:33:56,840
Speaker 1: their career. We really think he's gonna buy into that one.

3384
02:33:56,920 --> 02:33:58,640
Speaker 3: No, and that's just it. I if the guy is

3385
02:33:58,680 --> 02:34:02,800
Speaker 3: who we now believe or what the history says, and

3386
02:34:02,879 --> 02:34:07,360
Speaker 3: the answer is probably not. Yeah, day and age. I mean,

3387
02:34:07,400 --> 02:34:10,800
Speaker 3: he's not fighting for franchise tag status at this point,

3388
02:34:10,840 --> 02:34:13,760
Speaker 3: he's fighting to stay in the league. And his tight

3389
02:34:13,840 --> 02:34:17,200
Speaker 3: end really is different from wide receivers in most cases anymore.

3390
02:34:18,600 --> 02:34:21,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it isn't. But it's just you know, we

3391
02:34:21,959 --> 02:34:23,600
Speaker 1: all know the way the room feels, and if you're

3392
02:34:23,600 --> 02:34:25,760
Speaker 1: suddenly moved from the wide receiver to the tight end room.

3393
02:34:26,000 --> 02:34:29,000
Speaker 1: I just feel like immediate checkout for a lot of players.

3394
02:34:29,000 --> 02:34:30,440
Speaker 1: A lot of players are kind of turn around and

3395
02:34:30,440 --> 02:34:31,720
Speaker 1: be like, Nope, that is not what I do that.

3396
02:34:31,720 --> 02:34:33,440
Speaker 1: It's not We got players that won't even do that

3397
02:34:33,440 --> 02:34:36,039
Speaker 1: when they're trying to get drafted nonetheless already in the league.

3398
02:34:36,800 --> 02:34:39,560
Speaker 3: Craziness. But yeah, we had that. We had the Randy

3399
02:34:39,600 --> 02:34:43,640
Speaker 3: Gregory trade, and then the Chargers got rid of J. C. Jackson,

3400
02:34:43,680 --> 02:34:48,160
Speaker 3: sending him back to New England. Yeah, I'm also salary,

3401
02:34:48,240 --> 02:34:51,360
Speaker 3: but yeah, another circumstance of you're not good here? Beat it.

3402
02:34:51,959 --> 02:34:54,959
Speaker 1: Can we pause that conversation into March next time free

3403
02:34:55,000 --> 02:34:58,720
Speaker 1: agency hits and remind everybody that Chandler Jones for different reasons, obviously,

3404
02:34:58,800 --> 02:35:02,959
Speaker 1: Randy Gregory, ac Jackson all huge signings that cost their

3405
02:35:03,000 --> 02:35:05,000
Speaker 1: teams a ton of money. They were supposed to be

3406
02:35:05,040 --> 02:35:07,359
Speaker 1: guys that would be the difference makers on the defensive

3407
02:35:07,360 --> 02:35:09,520
Speaker 1: side of the ball to try and slow down Mahomes.

3408
02:35:09,800 --> 02:35:12,520
Speaker 1: All three of them, it's money at this point that's

3409
02:35:12,560 --> 02:35:16,120
Speaker 1: completely wasted. All three of them failures for different reasons,

3410
02:35:16,120 --> 02:35:18,039
Speaker 1: but all three failures with the teams that they're with

3411
02:35:18,280 --> 02:35:20,200
Speaker 1: It's just a reminder that we put all this stock

3412
02:35:20,240 --> 02:35:23,280
Speaker 1: into March, and March is a failure more often than

3413
02:35:23,280 --> 02:35:25,800
Speaker 1: it's a success. With these free agent contracts.

3414
02:35:25,320 --> 02:35:28,160
Speaker 3: And the fact that they're not just on the hook

3415
02:35:28,200 --> 02:35:31,760
Speaker 3: for twenty twenty three, there's bad money that's gonna follow

3416
02:35:31,800 --> 02:35:36,320
Speaker 3: them around like bad habits. Get right, people on this

3417
02:35:36,480 --> 02:35:40,280
Speaker 3: Sunday as we watch the NFL overseas we got a

3418
02:35:40,320 --> 02:35:44,440
Speaker 3: scoreless game, Jacksonville has the ball back moving inside eleven

02:35:44,520 --> 02:35:48,720

Speaker 3: of action in the NFL, including I'm sure some live

3432
02:36:23,680 --> 02:36:30,879
Speaker 3: betting opportunities bills. Just we're watching Milano helped off the field.

3433
02:36:30,959 --> 02:36:33,760
Speaker 3: It's first in goal for the Jaguars about midway through

3434
02:36:33,800 --> 02:36:37,520
Speaker 3: the first quarter. Now moving the ball at will in

3435
02:36:37,560 --> 02:36:42,680
Speaker 3: this particular possession. We'll see how it plays as we go. Yes,

3436
02:36:42,959 --> 02:36:45,960
Speaker 3: and we talk about committing to the bit Jason Right,

3437
02:36:46,440 --> 02:36:50,600
Speaker 3: your career in music and certainly us working together here

3438
02:36:50,640 --> 02:36:53,680
Speaker 3: in radio, you commit to the bit right. Sometimes you

3439
02:36:53,720 --> 02:36:57,680
Speaker 3: don't necessarily love the bit right. Your co host takes

3440
02:36:57,680 --> 02:37:00,520
Speaker 3: you down a road. It's a game of improv. Yes,

3441
02:37:00,560 --> 02:37:05,080
Speaker 3: and you start playing on stage, someone you know decides

3442
02:37:05,160 --> 02:37:06,879
Speaker 3: to take a little bit of a walk with the

3443
02:37:06,920 --> 02:37:10,520
Speaker 3: guitar or a drum solo. You gotta play along, get

3444
02:37:10,560 --> 02:37:14,200
Speaker 3: the eye contact and keep it going. But I've never

3445
02:37:14,200 --> 02:37:17,320
Speaker 3: done anything where like this Jaguars fan who looks like

3446
02:37:17,360 --> 02:37:21,600
Speaker 3: he's been transformed into a Jaguar. It's a thing of beauty.

3447
02:37:21,640 --> 02:37:23,720
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I just retweeted it at Swollen Dome.

3448
02:37:23,800 --> 02:37:24,520
Speaker 3: It's something.

3449
02:37:25,080 --> 02:37:27,680
Speaker 1: I mean, the face make the biggest question, and this

3450
02:37:27,760 --> 02:37:29,440
Speaker 1: is really what I need to know. Did he do

3451
02:37:29,520 --> 02:37:31,879
Speaker 1: the makeup himself? Because like there's a whole get up

3452
02:37:31,920 --> 02:37:34,840
Speaker 1: to it, and there's like a fabric element to it.

3453
02:37:34,879 --> 02:37:36,680
Speaker 1: But the face paint is the face paint, and the

3454
02:37:36,720 --> 02:37:39,200
Speaker 1: face paint is straight jaguar like it is. It is

3455
02:37:39,280 --> 02:37:41,480
Speaker 1: well done? Did he do this? Did he hire somebody

3456
02:37:41,520 --> 02:37:43,039
Speaker 1: to do this? When did he get in the chair?

3457
02:37:43,080 --> 02:37:45,119
Speaker 1: How much time was put into this? Like I need

3458
02:37:45,160 --> 02:37:47,720
Speaker 1: a making of the jag fan at this London game

3459
02:37:47,760 --> 02:37:48,000
Speaker 1: to know.

3460
02:37:48,200 --> 02:37:50,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's upon a time for halloweens. When I took

3461
02:37:50,680 --> 02:37:52,800
Speaker 3: the kids around, they'd always want me to quote dress

3462
02:37:52,920 --> 02:37:54,800
Speaker 3: up and they'd hand me a bucket and it was

3463
02:37:54,840 --> 02:37:57,480
Speaker 3: just like face paint stuff. So I was always Road Warrior,

3464
02:37:57,560 --> 02:38:00,320
Speaker 3: Animal or a hawk, and I'd do the paint myself,

3465
02:38:00,560 --> 02:38:02,680
Speaker 3: especially Animal where you have the big spider in the

3466
02:38:02,680 --> 02:38:06,000
Speaker 3: middle of his head rests. Did James lornaidis?

3467
02:38:06,959 --> 02:38:08,840
Speaker 1: That's it? By the way, A couple of like I

3468
02:38:08,920 --> 02:38:12,280
Speaker 1: have all these like Remco eighties aw A figures. Oh

Speaker 1: tag team as a kid, and still like that's the

3472
