NNA have fun today. 10 00:00:46,748 --> 00:00:48,388 Speaker 1: But the beauty is we get to talk more. So 11 00:00:48,508 --> 00:00:53,028 Speaker 1: let's lead block all right. AFC playoff picture, because tis 12 00:00:53,068 --> 00:00:56,708 Speaker 1: this season. Bill's twelve and three. They have obviously clinched 13 00:00:56,708 --> 00:01:00,268 Speaker 1: the AFC East, as the Chiefs had in the done 14 00:01:00,308 --> 00:01:03,508 Speaker 1: a couple weeks ago. In the West, Bengals um they 15 00:01:03,548 --> 00:01:06,588 Speaker 1: have a playoff, but the North still up for grabs. 16 00:01:06,948 --> 00:01:09,508 Speaker 1: But let's take a look at these two in the 17 00:01:09,508 --> 00:01:13,228 Speaker 1: top spots in particular, and how they can clinch home 18 00:01:13,308 --> 00:01:15,988 Speaker 1: field and a bye, which is the top spot in 19 00:01:16,028 --> 00:01:18,468 Speaker 1: the AFC. They both need to win out. But the 20 00:01:18,588 --> 00:01:21,068 Speaker 1: name that you draw to the game that you go 21 00:01:21,188 --> 00:01:25,388 Speaker 1: to inherently Bills at Bengals. Oh my gosh, it's Monday 22 00:01:25,428 --> 00:01:29,428 Speaker 1: Night football this weekend, so feels like a heavier lift. 23 00:01:30,028 --> 00:01:32,108 Speaker 1: Let's talk what it would mean for these two teams 24 00:01:32,108 --> 00:01:35,308 Speaker 1: and how good they are to have home field advantage 25 00:01:35,348 --> 00:01:38,508 Speaker 1: and a buy to enter the playoffs. But which team 26 00:01:38,508 --> 00:01:40,788 Speaker 1: do you think would find it more useful to have 27 00:01:40,828 --> 00:01:42,708 Speaker 1: a buy in a home field advantage in the first week? 28 00:01:42,868 --> 00:01:45,588 Speaker 1: So hard to figure out which team needs it more 29 00:01:45,628 --> 00:01:48,188 Speaker 1: as both of them are relatively healthy at this point 30 00:01:48,228 --> 00:01:51,108 Speaker 1: in the season. But who doesn't want a first round by? 31 00:01:51,348 --> 00:01:54,348 Speaker 1: But as I look at this, this is Kansas City territory. 32 00:01:54,388 --> 00:01:57,148 Speaker 1: They're used to being at home throughout the playoffs. In 33 00:01:57,148 --> 00:01:59,348 Speaker 1: this struct where Patrick Mahomes has been at the Helm 34 00:01:59,548 --> 00:02:02,908 Speaker 1: with Andy Read, they've been extremely successful. Out of the 35 00:02:02,988 --> 00:02:05,908 Speaker 1: last three seasons, they've been to two Super Bowls, and 36 00:02:05,948 --> 00:02:09,188 Speaker 1: there have been one common denominator, multiple but one in 37 00:02:09,228 --> 00:02:12,788 Speaker 1: particular common denominator throughout the playoffs. Both times that they 38 00:02:12,788 --> 00:02:15,188 Speaker 1: went to the super Bowl, they were the number one seed, 39 00:02:15,428 --> 00:02:19,108 Speaker 1: they had home field advantage, and they had a first 40 00:02:19,228 --> 00:02:22,868 Speaker 1: round bye. It is huge you look out. In twenty nineteen, 41 00:02:23,068 --> 00:02:24,988 Speaker 1: they get that bye, they go on to the Super 42 00:02:25,028 --> 00:02:27,868 Speaker 1: Bowl and obviously we know they fall short and they 43 00:02:27,908 --> 00:02:30,788 Speaker 1: lose to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That next year first 44 00:02:30,868 --> 00:02:34,428 Speaker 1: round by again they go on to win the Super Bowl, 45 00:02:34,708 --> 00:02:37,228 Speaker 1: and then this past year they play in a wild 46 00:02:37,228 --> 00:02:40,388 Speaker 1: card game against Pittsburgh. As they advanced, they end up 47 00:02:40,468 --> 00:02:43,908 Speaker 1: losing in an NFC championship. And it's been the thing 48 00:02:43,988 --> 00:02:46,788 Speaker 1: for Kansas City there used to being at Arrowhead whether 49 00:02:46,868 --> 00:02:50,108 Speaker 1: fans are going absolutely insane. This past week we saw 50 00:02:50,148 --> 00:02:52,748 Speaker 1: a fan in the coal no shirt on, take his 51 00:02:52,868 --> 00:02:55,668 Speaker 1: boot off, pours beer in his boot and you know 52 00:02:55,708 --> 00:02:58,108 Speaker 1: how that finished. Yes, we saw it this weekend at 53 00:02:58,228 --> 00:03:02,228 Speaker 1: Arrowhead Stadium. Those fans go absolutely insane. So for the 54 00:03:02,308 --> 00:03:05,108 Speaker 1: Kansas City teams being at home where they've had the 55 00:03:05,268 --> 00:03:07,628 Speaker 1: most success in the playoffs. So if y'all had to 56 00:03:07,708 --> 00:03:10,228 Speaker 1: choose one team, they both want it. I know what 57 00:03:10,308 --> 00:03:13,348 Speaker 1: it's like. I remember being with the Patriots in twenty nineteen. 58 00:03:13,548 --> 00:03:16,188 Speaker 1: We played in Miami Dolphins last game of the season. 59 00:03:16,428 --> 00:03:18,988 Speaker 1: If we win that game, we get a first round 60 00:03:19,068 --> 00:03:21,588 Speaker 1: by we lose that game, I remember being in the 61 00:03:21,588 --> 00:03:24,028 Speaker 1: locker room and it felt like we had already lost 62 00:03:24,028 --> 00:03:27,868 Speaker 1: a playoff game. Just how defeated everybody was. That next 63 00:03:27,868 --> 00:03:30,268 Speaker 1: week we go out to Tennessee, Titans roll into town, 64 00:03:30,508 --> 00:03:33,148 Speaker 1: and the wild Card send us packing back home on 65 00:03:33,188 --> 00:03:36,308 Speaker 1: a vacation. So a first round by is huge for 66 00:03:36,348 --> 00:03:38,668 Speaker 1: a team to rest up, even I think bigger than 67 00:03:38,908 --> 00:03:40,828 Speaker 1: the home field at vantage. I think the Patriots are 68 00:03:40,828 --> 00:03:42,828 Speaker 1: still on that vacation. If we're looking at my being, 69 00:03:42,908 --> 00:03:45,108 Speaker 1: my gosh, I can't believe we're sitting here with the 70 00:03:45,148 --> 00:03:46,828 Speaker 1: Chiefs and Bills and they're both twelve and three, Like, 71 00:03:46,828 --> 00:03:49,108 Speaker 1: what are the chances? It's so crazy with two weeks left, 72 00:03:49,148 --> 00:03:51,868 Speaker 1: both twelve and three. And also if you look at Buffalo, 73 00:03:52,268 --> 00:03:54,668 Speaker 1: everything they've been through this year, the last few years, 74 00:03:54,668 --> 00:03:55,988 Speaker 1: trying to get over the Chiefs, trying to get over 75 00:03:56,028 --> 00:03:58,828 Speaker 1: the Mountain, and then this year, whether injury, all that, 76 00:03:58,908 --> 00:04:00,668 Speaker 1: and like lose to the Bengals, I think you're screwed. 77 00:04:00,828 --> 00:04:02,668 Speaker 1: Like loose the Bengals, I think they're going back to 78 00:04:02,788 --> 00:04:04,628 Speaker 1: Arrowhead maybe for a title game or to be that's 79 00:04:04,628 --> 00:04:06,988 Speaker 1: all it has to be. Because the Chiefs are playing 80 00:04:06,988 --> 00:04:08,908 Speaker 1: the Broncos and the Raiders, and those are just two 81 00:04:08,948 --> 00:04:12,108 Speaker 1: teams that they just wear out year after year beat 82 00:04:12,148 --> 00:04:14,228 Speaker 1: both of them and Bills lose to the Bengals, and 83 00:04:14,228 --> 00:04:16,108 Speaker 1: it's like, all right, back an arrowhead. It's just that 84 00:04:16,348 --> 00:04:18,468 Speaker 1: easy and it goes that fast. But I think in 85 00:04:18,508 --> 00:04:21,068 Speaker 1: this conversation, home field is great, and we've talked about 86 00:04:21,108 --> 00:04:23,468 Speaker 1: it a bunch. I think the buy is so big, 87 00:04:23,548 --> 00:04:25,908 Speaker 1: and it's big every year, of course, but just look 88 00:04:25,948 --> 00:04:28,388 Speaker 1: at the AFC field and tell me, do you want 89 00:04:28,388 --> 00:04:30,788 Speaker 1: to play two playoff games to get to the super 90 00:04:30,788 --> 00:04:32,948 Speaker 1: Bowl or do you want to play three? Who do 91 00:04:32,948 --> 00:04:35,308 Speaker 1: you want to play? There? Like even teams right now, 92 00:04:35,388 --> 00:04:38,988 Speaker 1: like the Chargers are like streaking and they feel like 93 00:04:39,068 --> 00:04:42,668 Speaker 1: this year's Bengals. The Ravens are mysterious and in this 94 00:04:42,788 --> 00:04:46,588 Speaker 1: enigma that we don't know, the Jaguars are dangerous, the Dolphins, 95 00:04:46,588 --> 00:04:48,668 Speaker 1: who the hell knows. But like, just take your pick 96 00:04:48,708 --> 00:04:50,428 Speaker 1: and throw a dart at the screen and be like, 97 00:04:50,628 --> 00:04:52,508 Speaker 1: would you like to have a week off? Like it's 98 00:04:52,508 --> 00:04:54,508 Speaker 1: almost like you'd like to have the week off more 99 00:04:54,588 --> 00:04:57,948 Speaker 1: than the home field, especially now, just to batten down 100 00:04:58,028 --> 00:05:00,148 Speaker 1: the hatches and get right and chill out. It's like 101 00:05:00,308 --> 00:05:02,508 Speaker 1: the buy is always high stakes, and it's particularly high 102 00:05:02,508 --> 00:05:04,708 Speaker 1: stakes when it went to one. But this af see, 103 00:05:04,748 --> 00:05:06,548 Speaker 1: we know this is going to be a royal rumble, 104 00:05:06,588 --> 00:05:08,948 Speaker 1: we know this is gonna be one month of chaos 105 00:05:08,988 --> 00:05:12,148 Speaker 1: and bedlam, and it's just that Bye is so, so, 106 00:05:12,148 --> 00:05:14,188 Speaker 1: so massive. And then if you look at the home 107 00:05:14,188 --> 00:05:16,428 Speaker 1: field side of him, the thing that keep striking me 108 00:05:16,428 --> 00:05:18,828 Speaker 1: about you're talking about Mahomes and the Chiefs. This guy, 109 00:05:18,868 --> 00:05:21,748 Speaker 1: in this crazy career that he's had, has never played 110 00:05:21,788 --> 00:05:24,628 Speaker 1: a road playoff game Nike never ever. It's like, so 111 00:05:24,668 --> 00:05:26,468 Speaker 1: he's the only road games he's playing in the playoffs 112 00:05:26,468 --> 00:05:28,788 Speaker 1: are super Bowls, So he's never had this, Well we 113 00:05:28,868 --> 00:05:31,308 Speaker 1: got to go to Pittsburgh and win, or Tennessee or anything. 114 00:05:31,428 --> 00:05:34,268 Speaker 1: It's only Arrowheads. So if he wakes up and has 115 00:05:34,308 --> 00:05:35,748 Speaker 1: to go to the division around to any one of 116 00:05:35,788 --> 00:05:38,028 Speaker 1: those cities, it's like he's a rookie again. He's never 117 00:05:38,068 --> 00:05:40,268 Speaker 1: done that. And that's a really rare thing and speaks 118 00:05:40,268 --> 00:05:42,228 Speaker 1: to how well they've been said in the regular season 119 00:05:42,228 --> 00:05:44,628 Speaker 1: with the records, but I would say probably Buffalo by 120 00:05:44,668 --> 00:05:47,148 Speaker 1: a nos. Yeah, but it's it's whoever gets that by 121 00:05:47,308 --> 00:05:49,628 Speaker 1: It's almost like they already have a playoff win. And 122 00:05:49,708 --> 00:05:52,548 Speaker 1: in this AFC more than ever, it's massive. I'm right 123 00:05:52,588 --> 00:05:54,628 Speaker 1: there with you. Twofold the Bills. I go with the 124 00:05:54,668 --> 00:05:56,668 Speaker 1: Bills that they need it to have the buy in 125 00:05:56,788 --> 00:05:58,668 Speaker 1: the home field. But I think a lot of it 126 00:05:58,708 --> 00:06:00,668 Speaker 1: has to do with Patrick Mahomes. You know, just just 127 00:06:00,708 --> 00:06:02,468 Speaker 1: to put it into context, Kyle, you hit the nail 128 00:06:02,468 --> 00:06:04,708 Speaker 1: on the head. But it's not just like one time 129 00:06:04,788 --> 00:06:06,388 Speaker 1: he's gone through the playoffs and he's got to play 130 00:06:06,428 --> 00:06:08,748 Speaker 1: at home and go to a super Bowl. It's nine games. 131 00:06:08,748 --> 00:06:12,228 Speaker 1: He's played nine postseason games at Arrowheads a lot. He's 132 00:06:12,268 --> 00:06:15,908 Speaker 1: throw twenty six touchdowns at home at Arrowhead in the 133 00:06:15,948 --> 00:06:19,548 Speaker 1: postseason and just two picks. That is a wild advantage 134 00:06:19,548 --> 00:06:22,148 Speaker 1: that Patrick Mahomes has for the Chiefs in the postseason. 135 00:06:22,148 --> 00:06:24,588 Speaker 1: If I'm the Bills, even just one game, even if 136 00:06:24,628 --> 00:06:26,708 Speaker 1: you have to host hosts and then if you have 137 00:06:26,908 --> 00:06:29,708 Speaker 1: something crazy happens and someone's got to come in where 138 00:06:29,748 --> 00:06:32,828 Speaker 1: you didn't expect him. But it's it's that extra game 139 00:06:32,908 --> 00:06:34,588 Speaker 1: that I think, like we all know what it feels 140 00:06:34,628 --> 00:06:36,588 Speaker 1: like to work months on end. You see that vacation 141 00:06:36,708 --> 00:06:40,668 Speaker 1: what I know here, see it coming February and you're 142 00:06:40,748 --> 00:06:42,908 Speaker 1: like wait and then to have it kind of sneak 143 00:06:42,948 --> 00:06:44,588 Speaker 1: up on you and be a gifts in early January. 144 00:06:44,588 --> 00:06:47,268 Speaker 1: I think for the bodies in particular, you talked to 145 00:06:47,668 --> 00:06:50,068 Speaker 1: Josh Allen every week. I know he's one week at 146 00:06:50,108 --> 00:06:55,788 Speaker 1: a time, but you have to You've you've monitored his 147 00:06:55,828 --> 00:06:59,068 Speaker 1: emotional kind of stamina this whole way. I think he 148 00:06:59,108 --> 00:07:01,228 Speaker 1: could use a break down the stretchhair just a beat, 149 00:07:01,268 --> 00:07:04,228 Speaker 1: oh my god, because if you ask him, how big 150 00:07:04,428 --> 00:07:06,388 Speaker 1: would that one seed b for you guys? As a 151 00:07:07,228 --> 00:07:10,308 Speaker 1: lock in, we're just trying to complimentary football one game 152 00:07:10,308 --> 00:07:13,868 Speaker 1: at a time, so locked in so absolutely massive, especially him, 153 00:07:13,868 --> 00:07:16,708 Speaker 1: and like he goes to California and is by they rest, 154 00:07:16,788 --> 00:07:19,468 Speaker 1: they relax, they recover. And also I'm looking at them 155 00:07:19,468 --> 00:07:21,708 Speaker 1: a homes thing seven and two at home in the playoffs. 156 00:07:22,148 --> 00:07:25,748 Speaker 1: Both of those losses were in overtime back to Brady 157 00:07:25,788 --> 00:07:27,748 Speaker 1: and the Pats and then and then Burrow in the Bengals. 158 00:07:27,748 --> 00:07:30,508 Speaker 1: So it's like they're not even genuine losses, like they're 159 00:07:30,508 --> 00:07:32,948 Speaker 1: just they have to go extra to beat them. But 160 00:07:32,988 --> 00:07:34,708 Speaker 1: I think they could use the break bad. I think 161 00:07:34,708 --> 00:07:36,868 Speaker 1: they are getting ready for the stretch run. And it's 162 00:07:36,908 --> 00:07:39,268 Speaker 1: like that that is like the powerball right now, the AFC. 163 00:07:39,348 --> 00:07:41,268 Speaker 1: If you can get that sweet sweet bye. We talked 164 00:07:41,268 --> 00:07:43,068 Speaker 1: about this yesterday, And I think it's important to bring 165 00:07:43,148 --> 00:07:44,868 Speaker 1: up again is just what Buffalo has had to deal 166 00:07:44,908 --> 00:07:48,468 Speaker 1: with as a city team. Like the fact that they 167 00:07:48,508 --> 00:07:51,268 Speaker 1: lost von Miller earlier this month is like a blip 168 00:07:51,308 --> 00:07:53,388 Speaker 1: on this team's radar at this point, because if everything 169 00:07:53,388 --> 00:07:55,028 Speaker 1: that I have they've had to go through Buffalo has 170 00:07:55,068 --> 00:07:58,228 Speaker 1: just been under I mean the weather that has affected 171 00:07:58,268 --> 00:08:01,148 Speaker 1: this town, the team, their travel, I mean, this is 172 00:08:01,428 --> 00:08:05,308 Speaker 1: at this point, Jason, like, this is so challenge emotionally 173 00:08:05,348 --> 00:08:07,628 Speaker 1: for players to go this far down the stretch and 174 00:08:07,668 --> 00:08:09,468 Speaker 1: like it's a lot. And Kyle, I think that's like 175 00:08:09,508 --> 00:08:12,108 Speaker 1: a direct coat from you, Kylie Yester. It's a lot 176 00:08:12,148 --> 00:08:14,668 Speaker 1: to go through three back to back to back games 177 00:08:14,668 --> 00:08:17,908 Speaker 1: in twelve days. This is between Thanksgiving and early December. 178 00:08:18,108 --> 00:08:19,908 Speaker 1: You get your game, move to Detroit, you go back 179 00:08:19,908 --> 00:08:22,708 Speaker 1: to Buffalo. The weather is just NonStop. It affects your 180 00:08:22,708 --> 00:08:26,308 Speaker 1: community in a really harsh way. And so I think 181 00:08:26,348 --> 00:08:28,548 Speaker 1: that goes back to the just two games in January 182 00:08:28,788 --> 00:08:30,828 Speaker 1: at home in the postseason. That'd be a gift for 183 00:08:30,868 --> 00:08:32,788 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Yeah, for sure. And I think when 184 00:08:32,828 --> 00:08:35,148 Speaker 1: you go through some of these things that that adversity 185 00:08:35,188 --> 00:08:38,108 Speaker 1: helps build character, helps bring your team together when they're 186 00:08:38,108 --> 00:08:40,508 Speaker 1: there and they have to stay in Chicago on Christmas Eve, 187 00:08:40,668 --> 00:08:42,788 Speaker 1: and now you're just hanging out at a local bar 188 00:08:42,988 --> 00:08:44,628 Speaker 1: and it's just you and the guys. It's almost like 189 00:08:44,668 --> 00:08:47,188 Speaker 1: being back at training camp in college where you all 190 00:08:47,228 --> 00:08:49,788 Speaker 1: stay in one dorm and you're forced to be around 191 00:08:49,788 --> 00:08:51,908 Speaker 1: each other. So it's a very nice thing to get 192 00:08:51,948 --> 00:08:54,428 Speaker 1: some camaraderie in the middle of all of that's going on. 193 00:08:54,708 --> 00:08:56,788 Speaker 1: But as I listen to everything we said at the table, 194 00:08:57,028 --> 00:09:00,868 Speaker 1: it just reaffirms that Patrick Mahomes needs the home field 195 00:09:00,868 --> 00:09:03,828 Speaker 1: advantage and the byeway because, like we just said, he's 196 00:09:03,908 --> 00:09:06,588 Speaker 1: never had to travel to play a play all game. 197 00:09:06,748 --> 00:09:09,668 Speaker 1: So for them to continue to advance way, why something different, 198 00:09:09,748 --> 00:09:11,708 Speaker 1: stay at home. If they're able to get this number 199 00:09:11,748 --> 00:09:14,188 Speaker 1: one seed, it'll be huge. But we'll see what happens. 200 00:09:14,308 --> 00:09:17,068 Speaker 1: If the Bengals were able to win Monday night against Buffalo, 201 00:09:17,188 --> 00:09:19,348 Speaker 1: like that's a table flipping thing. It's like, oh my god. 202 00:09:19,388 --> 00:09:22,628 Speaker 1: The AFC title game really is the Arrowhead invitation because 203 00:09:22,948 --> 00:09:25,948 Speaker 1: camaraderie adversity all stop Buffaloes don't through is great. You 204 00:09:25,988 --> 00:09:29,228 Speaker 1: know what else, It's just great Kelsey like Travis Kelsey, 205 00:09:29,308 --> 00:09:31,188 Speaker 1: like I'm respecting you guys have gone through it, but 206 00:09:31,228 --> 00:09:33,188 Speaker 1: I'm still Kelsey and I win every single time we 207 00:09:33,228 --> 00:09:35,988 Speaker 1: play you guys in a big game. It's the Buffalo 208 00:09:36,068 --> 00:09:38,668 Speaker 1: thing is massive too, and it's taking a very dark 209 00:09:38,708 --> 00:09:40,668 Speaker 1: turn too, Like there are people who are losing their 210 00:09:40,668 --> 00:09:42,988 Speaker 1: lives in Western New York right now, and the Bills 211 00:09:43,028 --> 00:09:45,548 Speaker 1: and Stefan and Josh are talking about it about how 212 00:09:45,748 --> 00:09:48,828 Speaker 1: we're rallying around this community. So they have massive, massive 213 00:09:48,828 --> 00:09:52,588 Speaker 1: amounts of emotional inspiration and baggage. But when it comes 214 00:09:52,628 --> 00:09:54,748 Speaker 1: time to play the game, like they gotta beat Cincinnati 215 00:09:54,868 --> 00:09:57,308 Speaker 1: and Kansas City's gonna be like held that they don't 216 00:09:57,868 --> 00:09:59,868 Speaker 1: that game Monday night. Let's just start talking about it now, 217 00:09:59,868 --> 00:10:01,388 Speaker 1: all right, Okay, we'll take a being able to talk 218 00:10:01,388 --> 00:10:03,188 Speaker 1: to Ian and then we will look ahead to that 219 00:10:03,188 --> 00:10:07,668 Speaker 1: fam call game. Ian. Big news around the league yesterday 220 00:10:07,788 --> 00:10:09,588 Speaker 1: comes out. What's the latest? What do we need to know? 221 00:10:09,628 --> 00:10:11,308 Speaker 1: What are we talking about this morning? Well, let's talk 222 00:10:11,308 --> 00:10:15,068 Speaker 1: about Twa Takavalo, the Miami Dolphins starting quarterback once again. 223 00:10:15,188 --> 00:10:18,708 Speaker 1: In the NFL's concussion protocol. This actually came up not 224 00:10:18,868 --> 00:10:22,188 Speaker 1: during the game, but after the game. Two reported symptoms 225 00:10:22,228 --> 00:10:25,548 Speaker 1: of a concussion was once again placed in the concussion protocol, 226 00:10:25,588 --> 00:10:28,628 Speaker 1: obviously not his first time this season had that very 227 00:10:28,708 --> 00:10:31,228 Speaker 1: scary hit on national TV, he was taken to a hospital, 228 00:10:31,548 --> 00:10:34,548 Speaker 1: missed two games, and then of course the situation before 229 00:10:34,668 --> 00:10:37,708 Speaker 1: that earlier on in the season when it seemed he 230 00:10:37,828 --> 00:10:39,828 Speaker 1: was out for a head injury, then later amended to 231 00:10:39,868 --> 00:10:42,988 Speaker 1: a neck injury. Either way, a lot of sad questions 232 00:10:43,028 --> 00:10:45,908 Speaker 1: about this. Doctor Alan Sills, dada US chief Medical Officers 233 00:10:45,908 --> 00:10:49,028 Speaker 1: talked to Judy Batista on Total Access last night and 234 00:10:49,108 --> 00:10:53,268 Speaker 1: said two exhibited zero injury behaviors, zero symptoms that would 235 00:10:53,308 --> 00:10:56,708 Speaker 1: have triggered the protocol during the game. So as of 236 00:10:56,788 --> 00:11:00,028 Speaker 1: now there is no investigation into this situation, obviously to 237 00:11:00,148 --> 00:11:04,268 Speaker 1: his status very much in doubt for this weekend. Meanwhile, 238 00:11:04,708 --> 00:11:08,628 Speaker 1: JJ Watt announced his retirement seemingly out of nowhere, though 239 00:11:08,628 --> 00:11:11,228 Speaker 1: my understanding this is something that jj Watt has known 240 00:11:11,308 --> 00:11:13,588 Speaker 1: for probably a couple of months that this season would 241 00:11:13,628 --> 00:11:16,668 Speaker 1: be his last, announced that he had played his final 242 00:11:16,708 --> 00:11:18,948 Speaker 1: home game, already has two more games on the road. 243 00:11:19,068 --> 00:11:20,548 Speaker 1: And you know, guys, I mean, this is one of 244 00:11:20,548 --> 00:11:23,148 Speaker 1: the true greats. Three time Defensive Player of the Year, 245 00:11:23,228 --> 00:11:26,588 Speaker 1: seven time All Pro, five time Pro Bore plus Man 246 00:11:26,628 --> 00:11:28,908 Speaker 1: of the Year after everything he did with Hurricane Harvey. 247 00:11:29,028 --> 00:11:30,628 Speaker 1: I think all of us have a moment where they 248 00:11:30,748 --> 00:11:33,708 Speaker 1: were watching a game, we're like, wow, JJ Watt is amazing. 249 00:11:33,868 --> 00:11:35,948 Speaker 1: There's so many of them. Either way, one of the 250 00:11:36,108 --> 00:11:40,948 Speaker 1: greats of all time called it a career yesterday. Yeah, 251 00:11:40,988 --> 00:11:43,828 Speaker 1: that was a surprising news. But also can't wait to 252 00:11:43,828 --> 00:11:46,388 Speaker 1: celebrate him and everything he's done in the game of football. 253 00:11:46,428 --> 00:11:47,988 Speaker 1: And as he and you mentioned away from the game 254 00:11:47,988 --> 00:11:49,828 Speaker 1: of football, we're going to talk about him later in 255 00:11:49,868 --> 00:11:52,108 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football. It's just crazy to hear after the 256 00:11:52,188 --> 00:11:53,988 Speaker 1: game he had last week, he was coming off the 257 00:11:54,028 --> 00:11:56,028 Speaker 1: line like he was twenty five years old. It was 258 00:11:56,068 --> 00:11:58,348 Speaker 1: incredible to watch rap She thanks very much. We'll talk 259 00:11:58,348 --> 00:11:59,908 Speaker 1: to you in a little bit.

Prescott and the Cowboys take on 262 00:12:05,788 --> 00:12:08,788 Speaker 1: King Henry and the Titans. This is a musty matchup. 263 00:12:08,828 --> 00:12:10,708 Speaker 1: There's a lot of layers to it. We're gonna unpack 264 00:12:10,748 --> 00:12:13,028 Speaker 1: this one in the second hour of the show Cowboys Titans. 265 00:12:13,028 --> 00:12:16,148 Speaker 1: It's Thursday Night Football tomorrow eight fifteen pm Eastern on 266 00:12:16,228 --> 00:12:19,828 Speaker 1: Prime Video. In stream it on NFL. Plus, you just 267 00:12:19,868 --> 00:12:22,628 Speaker 1: mentioned a JJ watch announced. It looks like he's going 268 00:12:22,668 --> 00:12:26,028 Speaker 1: to retire. Does this career deserve its own movie? Wow? 269 00:12:26,628 --> 00:12:29,108 Speaker 1: A JJ Watt movie? And if so, what film franchise 270 00:12:29,148 --> 00:12:31,548 Speaker 1: would be a part of? We asked the important questions here. 271 00:12:31,588 --> 00:12:34,308 Speaker 1: I'm Good Morning Football on a Wednesday. Don't go anywhere, 272 00:12:34,388 --> 00:12:51,228 Speaker 1: my friends. Hey, we're back on Good Morning Football and 273 00:12:51,228 --> 00:12:54,348 Speaker 1: it's time for white Board Wednesday, where we get to 274 00:12:54,428 --> 00:12:56,588 Speaker 1: ask questions, fill in the blanket or answers on here 275 00:12:56,588 --> 00:12:58,948 Speaker 1: and then it lives on an Let's kick it off 276 00:12:58,948 --> 00:13:01,588 Speaker 1: with the first or three questions. After a dominant display 277 00:13:01,708 --> 00:13:04,068 Speaker 1: from his defense on Monday night against the Colts, Charger's 278 00:13:04,068 --> 00:13:07,988 Speaker 1: head Brandon Stey called their efforts quote a complete performance. 279 00:13:08,188 --> 00:13:10,748 Speaker 1: It's pretty high praise the player that you want to see, 280 00:13:10,828 --> 00:13:14,468 Speaker 1: just a single player a complete performance in week seventeen 281 00:13:14,828 --> 00:13:23,108 Speaker 1: is go ahead, no Peter today. So because I'm going 282 00:13:23,188 --> 00:13:26,308 Speaker 1: with Sam Darnel. Last week we saw the running game 283 00:13:26,388 --> 00:13:29,348 Speaker 1: take off Dante for him and Chuba Hubbard went all 284 00:13:29,668 --> 00:13:32,068 Speaker 1: but Sam Darneld was efficient to two hundred and fifty 285 00:13:32,108 --> 00:13:35,508 Speaker 1: yards passing one touchdown. This guy has played really well 286 00:13:35,588 --> 00:13:37,988 Speaker 1: since he's inserted in the lineup and has done a 287 00:13:38,068 --> 00:13:40,628 Speaker 1: really good job for the Carolina Panthers. So much as 288 00:13:40,668 --> 00:13:43,988 Speaker 1: going on, the division is still up for grabs. If 289 00:13:44,028 --> 00:13:46,828 Speaker 1: you can haul it, you can have it. That is 290 00:13:46,908 --> 00:13:49,428 Speaker 1: coming straight from Kyle Brant. He said that weeks ago 291 00:13:49,508 --> 00:13:52,188 Speaker 1: with the division and it is still the case. A 292 00:13:52,308 --> 00:13:55,308 Speaker 1: huge game against Tampa Bay, going against Tom Brady, who 293 00:13:55,388 --> 00:13:57,188 Speaker 1: may have not been as best this year, but in 294 00:13:57,228 --> 00:13:59,908 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter win his winning time, the witching hour, 295 00:14:00,348 --> 00:14:03,508 Speaker 1: Tom Brady comes alive and finds a way. Sam Darnel, 296 00:14:03,628 --> 00:14:05,508 Speaker 1: you need to have a com pleat performance. You need 297 00:14:05,548 --> 00:14:07,348 Speaker 1: to be able to lead your team to victory this 298 00:14:07,468 --> 00:14:10,348 Speaker 1: week if you want to have the division a great 299 00:14:10,388 --> 00:14:14,628 Speaker 1: opportunity for Sam Donald and the Carolina Panthers. Keep pounding, pounding. 300 00:14:14,668 --> 00:14:16,508 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the guy who's got to travel 301 00:14:16,588 --> 00:14:18,228 Speaker 1: all the way across the country in order to have 302 00:14:18,268 --> 00:14:20,548 Speaker 1: a bounce back game. And that's the Mike White experience. 303 00:14:20,588 --> 00:14:22,348 Speaker 1: The Mike White lotus as well, because this is the 304 00:14:22,428 --> 00:14:24,748 Speaker 1: name of the director for the fantastic show that everybody's 305 00:14:24,788 --> 00:14:27,028 Speaker 1: raving about. Haven't seen you yet. Mike White broke a 306 00:14:27,068 --> 00:14:28,668 Speaker 1: couple of ribs a couple of weeks ago. But then 307 00:14:29,068 --> 00:14:31,108 Speaker 1: when the Jets scored a touchdown last week. I did 308 00:14:31,148 --> 00:14:33,108 Speaker 1: see you with the flicker of celebration, and I was like, 309 00:14:33,148 --> 00:14:34,988 Speaker 1: he's good to go. He's gonna bounce back. If you 310 00:14:35,068 --> 00:14:36,948 Speaker 1: can lift your arms up over then you can do this. 311 00:14:37,348 --> 00:14:39,468 Speaker 1: I really said this yesterday. I really feel for Robert 312 00:14:39,508 --> 00:14:42,268 Speaker 1: Sala and just what he is attempting to do, because 313 00:14:42,268 --> 00:14:44,828 Speaker 1: I think the Jets they have talents, they're good, the 314 00:14:44,988 --> 00:14:48,628 Speaker 1: defense is young, they're great, and they play. They're playing 315 00:14:48,708 --> 00:14:51,828 Speaker 1: really well except for that one little sneaky quarterback position, 316 00:14:51,868 --> 00:14:54,308 Speaker 1: which feels important at times. Mike Waite, make a name 317 00:14:54,348 --> 00:14:57,508 Speaker 1: for yourself, have a complete performance, and take yourself into 318 00:14:57,508 --> 00:15:00,708 Speaker 1: the offseason, perhaps with really a lot of conversation around here. 319 00:15:01,628 --> 00:15:03,908 Speaker 1: I like that they went to like ten doctors to 320 00:15:04,028 --> 00:15:09,148 Speaker 1: try to I represented our guy Peace Reggs up here, 321 00:15:09,348 --> 00:15:12,028 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go with Jamar Chase. Jamar Chase is 322 00:15:12,028 --> 00:15:14,148 Speaker 1: We've been wrapped up all the year in this Justin 323 00:15:14,268 --> 00:15:17,508 Speaker 1: Jefferson experience, which has been great. Chase a little under 324 00:15:17,508 --> 00:15:19,548 Speaker 1: the radar, all right, this is his old college teammate, 325 00:15:19,548 --> 00:15:21,908 Speaker 1: and it was like last year was the Jamar Chase here. Well, 326 00:15:21,988 --> 00:15:24,228 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase has been playing really good the last few weeks. 327 00:15:24,228 --> 00:15:25,468 Speaker 1: You know, he was injured the middle of the year. 328 00:15:25,588 --> 00:15:27,508 Speaker 1: But you know what, I would love to see him 329 00:15:27,548 --> 00:15:30,908 Speaker 1: on Monday Night give the Bills his best punch. I 330 00:15:31,028 --> 00:15:32,788 Speaker 1: want to see if the Bills can handle that. If 331 00:15:32,868 --> 00:15:35,668 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase goes for one sixty and two, can the 332 00:15:35,708 --> 00:15:38,788 Speaker 1: Bill still win? Because there's thoughts about Buffalo secondary then 333 00:15:38,828 --> 00:15:41,308 Speaker 1: it might be a little bit suspect, and I would 334 00:15:41,348 --> 00:15:44,028 Speaker 1: love Jamar Chase to reintroduce himself just in time for 335 00:15:44,108 --> 00:15:46,148 Speaker 1: the playoffs. About Look, I know you love all these 336 00:15:46,188 --> 00:15:48,388 Speaker 1: other receivers and my guy, Justin Jervis is great, but 337 00:15:48,628 --> 00:15:50,588 Speaker 1: I'm the sensation who we got the Bengals to a 338 00:15:50,868 --> 00:15:53,668 Speaker 1: super Bowl. Jamar Chase, reintroduce yourself and that was a 339 00:15:53,708 --> 00:15:56,308 Speaker 1: great player as a superstar. Monday Night, We're ready Bills. 340 00:15:56,308 --> 00:15:58,148 Speaker 1: That'll be a challenge for them. J J. Watt, as 341 00:15:58,228 --> 00:16:00,748 Speaker 1: we mentioned, announced yesterday that he will be retiring at 342 00:16:00,788 --> 00:16:03,228 Speaker 1: the season. He's already played his final home game. He's 343 00:16:03,228 --> 00:16:05,508 Speaker 1: got two left to go. He had twelve seasons in 344 00:16:05,588 --> 00:16:08,828 Speaker 1: the league. We're not really sure what Watt we'll do next, 345 00:16:08,868 --> 00:16:11,228 Speaker 1: but we know that we'll know about it. But he 346 00:16:11,308 --> 00:16:15,028 Speaker 1: does have some experience appearing in movies and television shows. 347 00:16:15,268 --> 00:16:17,988 Speaker 1: So let's pick a movie franchise that we would love 348 00:16:18,068 --> 00:16:20,468 Speaker 1: to see JJ Watt start in that we think he 349 00:16:20,508 --> 00:16:23,268 Speaker 1: would be the perfect character for. Okay, you know when 350 00:16:23,308 --> 00:16:25,348 Speaker 1: we don't have enough movies, we don't have enough Fast 351 00:16:25,428 --> 00:16:28,108 Speaker 1: and Furious, we need more. Let's go. It would be 352 00:16:28,188 --> 00:16:31,588 Speaker 1: what maybe number fifteen. I don't know. JJ Watt and 353 00:16:31,748 --> 00:16:34,108 Speaker 1: his brothers they become the villains and the next Fast 354 00:16:34,148 --> 00:16:37,388 Speaker 1: and Furious for the villains taking on Dominic Toretto, and 355 00:16:37,508 --> 00:16:40,628 Speaker 1: they're the gang led by JJ Watt, and they're these 356 00:16:40,668 --> 00:16:43,828 Speaker 1: football players on the weekend, but during the week they're 357 00:16:43,908 --> 00:16:46,588 Speaker 1: running the game and they're just causing trouble. You have JJ, 358 00:16:46,868 --> 00:16:50,508 Speaker 1: TJ and Derek, the Watt brothers, the Watt Gang. They're 359 00:16:50,588 --> 00:16:53,668 Speaker 1: out there. JJ's leading him, he's walking around, no shirt on. 360 00:16:53,828 --> 00:16:56,428 Speaker 1: Camera's falling along and they're getting it done. So I 361 00:16:56,508 --> 00:16:59,428 Speaker 1: want to see JJ Watt and the family and a 362 00:16:59,628 --> 00:17:02,868 Speaker 1: Fast and the Furious fifteen at that point, right, I know, 363 00:17:02,988 --> 00:17:05,108 Speaker 1: because at that point someone else is retire. They're going 364 00:17:05,148 --> 00:17:06,108 Speaker 1: to be in it, so it's going to be at 365 00:17:06,188 --> 00:17:08,508 Speaker 1: least like fifteen sixteen seventeen. I had to write a 366 00:17:08,548 --> 00:17:10,388 Speaker 1: little I had to change the name of my movie, 367 00:17:10,508 --> 00:17:12,308 Speaker 1: so we've already seen him in this outfit, so I 368 00:17:12,348 --> 00:17:14,508 Speaker 1: feel like it fits immediately that JJ Watt in a 369 00:17:14,548 --> 00:17:17,148 Speaker 1: white tank top just all like sweat as got dirt 370 00:17:17,188 --> 00:17:19,308 Speaker 1: on his face and JJ Watt and die Hard needs 371 00:17:19,348 --> 00:17:22,908 Speaker 1: to happen. Jj Watt in die Hard workout Harder, I 372 00:17:22,948 --> 00:17:25,188 Speaker 1: think is what the first one should be called, because 373 00:17:25,748 --> 00:17:28,588 Speaker 1: as the summary goes, John McClean realizes that there is 374 00:17:28,708 --> 00:17:31,708 Speaker 1: no one to save, that no one can save hostages 375 00:17:31,788 --> 00:17:33,308 Speaker 1: except for him, and it just sounds like j J 376 00:17:33,428 --> 00:17:35,388 Speaker 1: Watt is that kind of hero that he could really 377 00:17:35,468 --> 00:17:37,948 Speaker 1: fulfill that for people that need him most. And he 378 00:17:38,068 --> 00:17:40,388 Speaker 1: finds himself in a precarious situation with a white tank 379 00:17:40,468 --> 00:17:42,828 Speaker 1: top on and he just has to do it gets 380 00:17:42,908 --> 00:17:44,948 Speaker 1: done in a white tank top, and it just it 381 00:17:45,068 --> 00:17:46,948 Speaker 1: feels like it fits. And then also I think what 382 00:17:47,068 --> 00:17:49,108 Speaker 1: we're knowing is that jj Watt can just kind of 383 00:17:49,188 --> 00:17:51,588 Speaker 1: keep the chapters going. So we're picking franchises that have 384 00:17:51,788 --> 00:17:53,628 Speaker 1: lots of options and could go on for years and 385 00:17:53,748 --> 00:17:55,748 Speaker 1: years and years because we need more JJ Watt. John 386 00:17:55,748 --> 00:17:57,988 Speaker 1: MacLean does a lot of talking to himself too, and 387 00:17:58,668 --> 00:17:59,948 Speaker 1: used to be miked up and he would kind of 388 00:17:59,988 --> 00:18:01,708 Speaker 1: talk to hold him like it kind of talks. Yes, 389 00:18:03,228 --> 00:18:05,948 Speaker 1: very easily baked and work got montages, I think too, 390 00:18:06,068 --> 00:18:07,708 Speaker 1: within the die hard like I have to prepare to 391 00:18:07,788 --> 00:18:11,268 Speaker 1: take down the terrors sitter in the building. So tough guy, 392 00:18:11,388 --> 00:18:13,588 Speaker 1: fast and furious, tough guy die hard. Yeah, I zag 393 00:18:13,628 --> 00:18:15,308 Speaker 1: a little bit. Guys, I'm gonna go with and I'm 394 00:18:15,308 --> 00:18:17,828 Speaker 1: gonna phrase it properly. JJ watch should be in the 395 00:18:17,908 --> 00:18:21,508 Speaker 1: Twilight saga. This is kind of perfect. I've seen those films. 396 00:18:21,628 --> 00:18:24,468 Speaker 1: I've even read those books. You got a bunch of 397 00:18:24,628 --> 00:18:27,708 Speaker 1: like beautiful looking white people and you get them together 398 00:18:27,868 --> 00:18:30,468 Speaker 1: with him and his brothers, and they're beautiful and they 399 00:18:30,548 --> 00:18:32,748 Speaker 1: love the camera and it always finds them. It's all 400 00:18:32,748 --> 00:18:34,988 Speaker 1: beautifully shot. But they're like when it's time to throw down, 401 00:18:35,068 --> 00:18:38,068 Speaker 1: like those Cullens can scrap, like they can run really fast. 402 00:18:38,268 --> 00:18:40,388 Speaker 1: And there's that big one, what's his name, Ken looks 403 00:18:40,868 --> 00:18:43,708 Speaker 1: he looks like a WAP brother. It's TJ and JJ 404 00:18:43,988 --> 00:18:46,308 Speaker 1: and and it would be kJ Kelen looks. He looks 405 00:18:46,348 --> 00:18:48,908 Speaker 1: like it and so TJ, JJ and Derek can show up. 406 00:18:48,988 --> 00:18:50,788 Speaker 1: I saw Bad Moms, the movie that he's in. He 407 00:18:50,908 --> 00:18:53,068 Speaker 1: plays like the junior high soccer coach, and he's going 408 00:18:53,148 --> 00:18:55,948 Speaker 1: back and forth with Melakuts. He's genuinely funny. He's really 409 00:18:56,068 --> 00:18:58,428 Speaker 1: really good. So I think in the Twilight Soaga where 410 00:18:58,628 --> 00:19:01,708 Speaker 1: they're being funny and intentionally, which JJ also does sometimes, 411 00:19:01,748 --> 00:19:02,908 Speaker 1: I think it could be good in that and bring 412 00:19:02,988 --> 00:19:05,108 Speaker 1: the brothers and I wreck some stuff and up some whrewolves. 413 00:19:05,188 --> 00:19:07,068 Speaker 1: I mean JJ Watt. The way he's been playing recently 414 00:19:07,108 --> 00:19:10,348 Speaker 1: has a vampire quality. You're not aging backwards at times, 415 00:19:10,508 --> 00:19:12,508 Speaker 1: which is what Edward Cullen did. Yeah, he really did, 416 00:19:12,668 --> 00:19:15,348 Speaker 1: just press pause. It's it's I'm still trying to figure 417 00:19:15,348 --> 00:19:18,188 Speaker 1: out exactly why JJ announced it now, as as a 418 00:19:18,388 --> 00:19:20,868 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, I've seen some theories a farewell tour, 419 00:19:21,388 --> 00:19:23,188 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, two weeks of the farewells? What does that mean? 420 00:19:23,348 --> 00:19:26,268 Speaker 1: Farewell tour? You go around wherever they're playing last home game, 421 00:19:26,308 --> 00:19:28,788 Speaker 1: everybody gets to celebrate JJ watch. So if I wouldn't 422 00:19:28,908 --> 00:19:30,708 Speaker 1: to do it before the last home game next you 423 00:19:30,748 --> 00:19:32,788 Speaker 1: can really like soak in maybe so now you got 424 00:19:32,908 --> 00:19:35,468 Speaker 1: to go somewhere else Arizona, or maybe you just do 425 00:19:35,508 --> 00:19:39,908 Speaker 1: it after the last game and maybe oh, J J Watt, 426 00:19:39,988 --> 00:19:41,428 Speaker 1: what do you mean we want to celebrate it on 427 00:19:41,548 --> 00:19:44,268 Speaker 1: then do it for seventeen games like the random two 428 00:19:44,348 --> 00:19:46,588 Speaker 1: games left, But you don't know in September maybe if 429 00:19:46,588 --> 00:19:49,828 Speaker 1: you're gonna retire. But the way we're going now with retirements, 430 00:19:49,868 --> 00:19:51,188 Speaker 1: like he could have done it five times over in 431 00:19:51,228 --> 00:19:54,028 Speaker 1: the season and we would have not Maybe it comes back. Hey, listen, 432 00:19:54,268 --> 00:19:56,748 Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald still hasn't announced it, like he could have 433 00:19:56,828 --> 00:19:58,628 Speaker 1: done that. I still don't know if he's done the 434 00:19:58,708 --> 00:20:01,748 Speaker 1: time he is interesting? Yeah, what is interesting? Good Morning 435 00:20:01,868 --> 00:20:06,268 Speaker 1: Football is presented by Old Trapper Beef Jerky. What's your beef? 436 00:20:07,908 --> 00:20:10,828 Speaker 1: That's a squad right there. What's your beef? That's the question, 437 00:20:10,908 --> 00:20:13,148 Speaker 1: and that's what it's time for. Jamie. I understand you 438 00:20:13,228 --> 00:20:15,108 Speaker 1: have a take and you have a beef with something. Well, 439 00:20:15,188 --> 00:20:17,708 Speaker 1: I have found some people that exist in the world 440 00:20:17,748 --> 00:20:20,108 Speaker 1: that have such a beef with a certain team in 441 00:20:20,148 --> 00:20:22,068 Speaker 1: the NFL that I had to highlight. Okay, what do 442 00:20:22,108 --> 00:20:25,228 Speaker 1: you got? So the baseline reason we all love football 443 00:20:25,588 --> 00:20:27,548 Speaker 1: sports in general, doesn't matter if you just change a 444 00:20:27,628 --> 00:20:29,468 Speaker 1: channel and got to us. It's just you like sports. 445 00:20:29,548 --> 00:20:32,148 Speaker 1: Say here, it's because it's competition. You want to win, 446 00:20:32,508 --> 00:20:34,428 Speaker 1: You want to see your team win. You want to 447 00:20:34,468 --> 00:20:38,028 Speaker 1: see the team that beats your team loose. Seeing the 448 00:20:38,108 --> 00:20:41,628 Speaker 1: team that neighbors yours and maintaining an utter disdain for 449 00:20:41,788 --> 00:20:45,948 Speaker 1: them absolutely commonplace. This is a story of fantasy football 450 00:20:46,028 --> 00:20:49,548 Speaker 1: lovers alike because you can quite quickly identify the villain 451 00:20:49,588 --> 00:20:51,428 Speaker 1: in this story and apply it to your own life. 452 00:20:51,508 --> 00:20:55,308 Speaker 1: For example, Yankees fans, you don't want someone mockingly asking 453 00:20:55,388 --> 00:20:58,148 Speaker 1: you who's your daddy, and you definitely don't own a 454 00:20:58,228 --> 00:21:00,868 Speaker 1: pair of Red Sox Lakers fans. Everyone seems to be 455 00:21:00,908 --> 00:21:02,388 Speaker 1: annoyed with you, so we're just going to move on 456 00:21:02,468 --> 00:21:04,188 Speaker 1: with that. But you know how it feels, you get 457 00:21:04,428 --> 00:21:07,788 Speaker 1: a stain across the board. It's accepted in sports. How 458 00:21:07,828 --> 00:21:10,748 Speaker 1: about Vikings Packers? Though playing this weekend, felt like a 459 00:21:10,788 --> 00:21:13,468 Speaker 1: good time to display what this rivalry looks like from 460 00:21:13,868 --> 00:21:16,308 Speaker 1: the western side of the Mississippi River. A couple of 461 00:21:16,348 --> 00:21:18,708 Speaker 1: weeks ago, I was back home in Minnesota for game 462 00:21:18,788 --> 00:21:21,188 Speaker 1: day morning for the incredible Cults Vikings game. But the 463 00:21:21,268 --> 00:21:22,948 Speaker 1: night before, I went to dinner with friends. A man 464 00:21:22,988 --> 00:21:25,748 Speaker 1: approached our table and he said, Hi, my name is Charlie. 465 00:21:25,828 --> 00:21:28,388 Speaker 1: I graduated from the same high school that you did, 466 00:21:28,668 --> 00:21:30,148 Speaker 1: a couple of years ahead of you can I have 467 00:21:30,188 --> 00:21:31,548 Speaker 1: a minute of your time to tell me about your 468 00:21:31,588 --> 00:21:34,628 Speaker 1: fantasy tell me about your fantasy football league. I was like, seriously, Charlie, 469 00:21:34,668 --> 00:21:36,588 Speaker 1: this is what we're gonna interrupt dinner for. But we'll 470 00:21:36,628 --> 00:21:39,148 Speaker 1: go with it. Charlie graduated high school in the mid 471 00:21:39,268 --> 00:21:41,148 Speaker 1: nineties from the same high school, probably a fan of 472 00:21:41,228 --> 00:21:44,108 Speaker 1: Drew Hill, and he's had the same fantasy football league 473 00:21:44,148 --> 00:21:46,228 Speaker 1: for the last twenty years with all guys that went 474 00:21:46,308 --> 00:21:48,948 Speaker 1: to my high school. It's your typical fantasy football league, 475 00:21:49,108 --> 00:21:51,548 Speaker 1: except for one thing. One thing really caught my ear. 476 00:21:51,708 --> 00:21:55,388 Speaker 1: Packers players are banned in no league. Packers players are banned. 477 00:21:55,428 --> 00:21:57,428 Speaker 1: You can't draft them. That's right. This league does not 478 00:21:57,508 --> 00:22:00,428 Speaker 1: allow a single Packer player to be drafted. No Aaron Rodgers, 479 00:22:00,908 --> 00:22:03,828 Speaker 1: no Christian Watson, no Aaron Jones. They do not exist 480 00:22:03,988 --> 00:22:06,468 Speaker 1: in their points system. Now, for as deep as the 481 00:22:06,548 --> 00:22:09,548 Speaker 1: Packers annoyance runs in this league, you'd think the rules 482 00:22:09,948 --> 00:22:12,508 Speaker 1: would apply to across the board. But that's not just 483 00:22:12,588 --> 00:22:14,908 Speaker 1: what summs this lead up. Nope. In fact, it's the 484 00:22:14,988 --> 00:22:17,708 Speaker 1: group's pathologic true love for the Vikings that is the 485 00:22:17,748 --> 00:22:20,988 Speaker 1: backbone here. So the Packers, they're bad guys out of here. 486 00:22:21,028 --> 00:22:23,348 Speaker 1: We got that. Here's the next layer. If you start 487 00:22:23,428 --> 00:22:26,148 Speaker 1: a player on a team that is playing against the 488 00:22:26,308 --> 00:22:28,548 Speaker 1: Vikings that week, you are put on a list list. 489 00:22:28,748 --> 00:22:31,828 Speaker 1: You're considered treasonist, and you are subjected to their infamous 490 00:22:32,308 --> 00:22:36,308 Speaker 1: betrayer report. By the end of the year, if you 491 00:22:36,428 --> 00:22:40,028 Speaker 1: are the unfortunate holder of the fantasy team with players 492 00:22:40,068 --> 00:22:43,348 Speaker 1: who scored the most points against the Vikings, you are 493 00:22:43,388 --> 00:22:46,268 Speaker 1: relentlessly harassed for being atop the betrayer report list for 494 00:22:46,308 --> 00:22:51,348 Speaker 1: the entire offseason. You are the ultimate betrayer blake every 495 00:22:51,388 --> 00:22:54,508 Speaker 1: other fantasy league naturally, there's a wrestling style championship belt, 496 00:22:54,628 --> 00:22:57,188 Speaker 1: which the guys who win get to obtain for the offseason. 497 00:22:57,228 --> 00:22:59,308 Speaker 1: You're encouraged to share photos at the belt in your 498 00:22:59,388 --> 00:23:02,668 Speaker 1: daily life. This belt has been photographed across the country 499 00:23:03,228 --> 00:23:08,828 Speaker 1: at weddings with newborn babies, and my personal favorite, in 500 00:23:08,948 --> 00:23:12,148 Speaker 1: a pregnancy photo shoot. Yes, indeed this fell. Yeah, she's 501 00:23:12,148 --> 00:23:14,868 Speaker 1: got her baby bump. And then this is Charlie holding 502 00:23:14,908 --> 00:23:17,388 Speaker 1: the belt. Seriously, I'm sure his wife was strolled about this. 503 00:23:17,468 --> 00:23:19,788 Speaker 1: She actually looks committed to the team. On the other 504 00:23:19,908 --> 00:23:22,748 Speaker 1: end of the spectrum, whoever finishes last in this league 505 00:23:22,988 --> 00:23:25,748 Speaker 1: is forced to prominently display a trophy that is less 506 00:23:25,748 --> 00:23:27,988 Speaker 1: than appropriate for morning television in their homes. It was 507 00:23:28,028 --> 00:23:30,868 Speaker 1: described to me as a free anatomy lesson for any 508 00:23:30,988 --> 00:23:34,628 Speaker 1: manager with young children. That's true, let that trophy he cannot. 509 00:23:37,068 --> 00:23:39,268 Speaker 1: My brief chat with my new friend Charlie it gave 510 00:23:39,308 --> 00:23:41,188 Speaker 1: me a lot of warm fuzzies for the hatred that 511 00:23:41,268 --> 00:23:44,548 Speaker 1: is entrenched in football and rivalries, because at the end 512 00:23:44,588 --> 00:23:46,468 Speaker 1: of the day, this league is compiled of four things 513 00:23:46,508 --> 00:23:49,548 Speaker 1: that we all well know and love. Lifelong friendships, a 514 00:23:49,668 --> 00:23:53,068 Speaker 1: collective disdain for all things Packers and obsession with the Vikings, 515 00:23:53,468 --> 00:23:57,668 Speaker 1: and one inappropriate trophy. Can you imagine what the guys 516 00:23:57,748 --> 00:24:00,508 Speaker 1: from the Back to the Roots League feel this weekend? 517 00:24:00,708 --> 00:24:02,948 Speaker 1: To hell with their rosters. The Vikings have a chance 518 00:24:02,988 --> 00:24:05,628 Speaker 1: to do something they haven't done in five years sweep 519 00:24:05,708 --> 00:24:09,028 Speaker 1: the regular season series against that team from Wisconsin. So 520 00:24:09,188 --> 00:24:12,028 Speaker 1: while the Packers don't exist in the imaginations of the 521 00:24:12,188 --> 00:24:16,108 Speaker 1: Special League, they most certainly will be a reality on 522 00:24:16,188 --> 00:24:19,388 Speaker 1: the frozen tundra of Lambeau this Sunday afternoon. Could there 523 00:24:19,428 --> 00:24:20,948 Speaker 1: be a more fitting way to ring in the first 524 00:24:21,028 --> 00:24:23,148 Speaker 1: day of twenty twenty three for these guys with zero 525 00:24:23,428 --> 00:24:26,108 Speaker 1: entrance on the Betrayer Report this week, because again, in 526 00:24:26,188 --> 00:24:28,748 Speaker 1: this forty something collective group of brains, the Packers do 527 00:24:28,868 --> 00:24:31,988 Speaker 1: not exist. Then watching their beloved Vikings well up against 528 00:24:31,988 --> 00:24:34,988 Speaker 1: their arch rivals, this fantasy football league. I was obsessed 529 00:24:35,068 --> 00:24:38,948 Speaker 1: with learning guys, the Betrayer Report, the Championship Belt, the 530 00:24:39,108 --> 00:24:41,788 Speaker 1: Anti Packer League. I mean, my god, it was like 531 00:24:41,908 --> 00:24:44,388 Speaker 1: everything I wanted baked into a league. What are you 532 00:24:44,428 --> 00:24:47,068 Speaker 1: guys think? It's a great great great stories. I mean, 533 00:24:47,068 --> 00:24:48,668 Speaker 1: I'd love to have the pictures to prove it. I 534 00:24:48,788 --> 00:24:50,268 Speaker 1: do have a question, like, all right, so you're in 535 00:24:50,428 --> 00:24:53,308 Speaker 1: Charlie's league and it's a critical week coming down the stretch, 536 00:24:53,388 --> 00:24:55,708 Speaker 1: and you're like, well, you know, I got Philip Rivers 537 00:24:55,788 --> 00:24:58,468 Speaker 1: on by, There's Rogers sitting there right there on the 538 00:24:58,548 --> 00:25:00,828 Speaker 1: waivers winning MVPs. Maybe I just throw them into my 539 00:25:00,948 --> 00:25:03,188 Speaker 1: roster for one week. Oh god, Earns, you just top 540 00:25:03,228 --> 00:25:05,268 Speaker 1: of the like you're just for the season. You're the 541 00:25:05,348 --> 00:25:08,068 Speaker 1: ultimate prety. Here's the other thing about the inappropriate trophy. 542 00:25:08,228 --> 00:25:10,588 Speaker 1: They have a rule that if you get texted something 543 00:25:10,748 --> 00:25:12,988 Speaker 1: that says you have to go and take a selfie 544 00:25:13,068 --> 00:25:16,348 Speaker 1: with the inappropriate trophy within like the hour. If they're 545 00:25:16,388 --> 00:25:18,268 Speaker 1: like rush back to your house and be like, yeah, 546 00:25:18,348 --> 00:25:20,668 Speaker 1: here it is. I'm full display in my home, just 547 00:25:20,868 --> 00:25:23,748 Speaker 1: carried around with you. But for me, I'd rather earn 548 00:25:23,828 --> 00:25:25,788 Speaker 1: the belt. I don't care about the betrayer report. Put 549 00:25:25,828 --> 00:25:27,908 Speaker 1: me on the top if I get the belt, especially 550 00:25:27,948 --> 00:25:29,948 Speaker 1: if you've watched the Vikings defense. If I have an 551 00:25:29,948 --> 00:25:31,988 Speaker 1: offensive guy playing against him, I'm putting him in a 552 00:25:32,028 --> 00:25:34,748 Speaker 1: game because he's probably gonna go off, so wins a win. 553 00:25:34,868 --> 00:25:39,428 Speaker 1: Give me the belt. Maybe the betrayer list will become 554 00:25:39,428 --> 00:25:41,428 Speaker 1: commonplace now in fantasy football. We should run it by 555 00:25:41,428 --> 00:25:43,788 Speaker 1: Adam Rank when we get him on Let's talk Cowboys 556 00:25:43,868 --> 00:25:45,788 Speaker 1: at the top of the next hour on Good Morning Football. 557 00:25:46,028 --> 00:25:47,788 Speaker 1: How about someone approaching Jamie and arrest and being like, 558 00:25:47,828 --> 00:26:01,908 Speaker 1: can I tell you about my fantasy league? Yea. Let's 559 00:26:01,948 --> 00:26:05,948 Speaker 1: take a look at first the NFC playoff picture. You 560 00:26:06,108 --> 00:26:09,828 Speaker 1: know the teams. It's that one with a beautiful lone 561 00:26:09,988 --> 00:26:11,748 Speaker 1: star at the top of your screen that we're going 562 00:26:11,828 --> 00:26:13,988 Speaker 1: to focus on here, because the Cowboys are taken on 563 00:26:14,028 --> 00:26:16,548 Speaker 1: the Titans. They are the five seed with a shot 564 00:26:16,788 --> 00:26:19,468 Speaker 1: stealing the NFC East from the Eagles, which is shocking 565 00:26:19,508 --> 00:26:21,228 Speaker 1: because the Eagles have just been found on the left 566 00:26:21,228 --> 00:26:23,388 Speaker 1: side of your screen all year long. But there is 567 00:26:23,388 --> 00:26:25,788 Speaker 1: a chance if Dallas wins out and Philly drops their 568 00:26:25,868 --> 00:26:28,468 Speaker 1: last two, Cowboys would be division champs and the Eagles 569 00:26:28,668 --> 00:26:31,748 Speaker 1: go to fifth. But all that becomes a move point 570 00:26:31,828 --> 00:26:34,988 Speaker 1: if the Cowboys lose to the Titans. Here's Cowboys executive 571 00:26:35,028 --> 00:26:37,948 Speaker 1: vice president Stephen Jones on the confidence he has in 572 00:26:38,108 --> 00:26:42,308 Speaker 1: Dallas heading into this postseason. Certainly, as we move forward, 573 00:26:42,468 --> 00:26:44,268 Speaker 1: you know, we've got a lot of confidence and know 574 00:26:44,508 --> 00:26:46,468 Speaker 1: that as we move forward, we'll be able to move 575 00:26:46,548 --> 00:26:49,228 Speaker 1: to football and have confidence will move to football. On 576 00:26:49,388 --> 00:26:51,988 Speaker 1: top of that, I think our defense will step up 577 00:26:52,028 --> 00:26:53,868 Speaker 1: and make plays for us. I think we're right at 578 00:26:53,908 --> 00:26:56,268 Speaker 1: the top of the league on turnovers in terms of 579 00:26:56,388 --> 00:26:59,908 Speaker 1: creating turnovers, and I think that'll continue. I think between 580 00:26:59,988 --> 00:27:02,908 Speaker 1: the pressure and where our back ends playing certainly points 581 00:27:02,948 --> 00:27:05,908 Speaker 1: to us having a lot of confidence in being able 582 00:27:05,988 --> 00:27:09,388 Speaker 1: to have success in the playoffs. All right, two weeks 583 00:27:09,468 --> 00:27:11,548 Speaker 1: left in the season, we have to unpack some of 584 00:27:11,588 --> 00:27:15,068 Speaker 1: this for the Cowboys and as their regular season winds down, 585 00:27:15,468 --> 00:27:17,508 Speaker 1: one of those games being a Thursday night football game 586 00:27:17,508 --> 00:27:19,988 Speaker 1: against the Titans. What do we make of this matchup? 587 00:27:20,068 --> 00:27:23,188 Speaker 1: This team, Kyle, how they handle this situation? Moving forward. 588 00:27:23,828 --> 00:27:27,228 Speaker 1: Here's what you do. Win your last two games, okay, 589 00:27:27,708 --> 00:27:29,508 Speaker 1: And I far be it for me to tell someone 590 00:27:29,588 --> 00:27:31,908 Speaker 1: to say, take it one game at a time. Take 591 00:27:31,948 --> 00:27:34,188 Speaker 1: it one game at a time, all right, because what 592 00:27:34,308 --> 00:27:36,188 Speaker 1: happens is the end of the season, especially a team 593 00:27:36,268 --> 00:27:40,388 Speaker 1: like this, there's so high profile and so celebrated that 594 00:27:40,428 --> 00:27:41,628 Speaker 1: when you get towards the end of the year and 595 00:27:41,628 --> 00:27:43,428 Speaker 1: you've got a good record, you start getting real excited, 596 00:27:43,468 --> 00:27:45,148 Speaker 1: like you want to start opening your presence before you 597 00:27:45,228 --> 00:27:48,628 Speaker 1: got them. Just take it easy. I'm seeing quotes from 598 00:27:48,708 --> 00:27:52,108 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones about meeting in Philadelphia a third time and 599 00:27:52,228 --> 00:27:55,908 Speaker 1: selling in Das like I'm confident will happen. Jackie, you're 600 00:27:55,948 --> 00:27:58,188 Speaker 1: one and three in the playoffs. That's it, all right. 601 00:27:58,748 --> 00:28:00,348 Speaker 1: Since you guys won the Super Bowl when I was 602 00:28:00,428 --> 00:28:03,748 Speaker 1: in high school, you have four total playoff wins. That's hits. 603 00:28:04,108 --> 00:28:07,188 Speaker 1: So let's finish the last couple of games. Let's have 604 00:28:07,308 --> 00:28:10,148 Speaker 1: a nice wildcard round and just win this thing. It's 605 00:28:10,188 --> 00:28:13,708 Speaker 1: there's I get accused of being a hater. Yeah, I 606 00:28:13,788 --> 00:28:16,228 Speaker 1: have nothing personal against the Cowboys at all at all. 607 00:28:16,428 --> 00:28:18,068 Speaker 1: I grew up loving the Cowboys and it was my 608 00:28:18,108 --> 00:28:20,588 Speaker 1: favorite player. I've just seen this movie. So many times 609 00:28:20,708 --> 00:28:22,108 Speaker 1: we get here and they have a good record and 610 00:28:22,188 --> 00:28:24,628 Speaker 1: good players and famous players and the owners talking and 611 00:28:24,788 --> 00:28:27,228 Speaker 1: it just doesn't end well. And I just I'm waiting 612 00:28:27,388 --> 00:28:30,268 Speaker 1: now for months to see why this team is different 613 00:28:30,388 --> 00:28:33,268 Speaker 1: than any other Cowboys team I've seen. And forget ancient history, 614 00:28:33,548 --> 00:28:37,908 Speaker 1: recent history, Dak teams, last year's team. Last year's team 615 00:28:37,948 --> 00:28:39,788 Speaker 1: looked really good and they were at home and they 616 00:28:39,828 --> 00:28:41,628 Speaker 1: were playing the Niners, and they're like, oh, the Cowboys 617 00:28:41,628 --> 00:28:43,908 Speaker 1: should win. I still don't see why. I like a 618 00:28:43,988 --> 00:28:45,828 Speaker 1: lot of things about them, but like when I start 619 00:28:45,948 --> 00:28:48,228 Speaker 1: hearing them saying, oh, this feels special and I would 620 00:28:48,268 --> 00:28:52,268 Speaker 1: love to see Philadelphia again. Never mind Philadelphia, about Tennessee Titans, 621 00:28:52,428 --> 00:28:54,748 Speaker 1: who are gonna be out to save their lives on Thursday. 622 00:28:54,828 --> 00:28:57,508 Speaker 1: They win that game, they win the last game, and 623 00:28:57,588 --> 00:29:00,068 Speaker 1: then a nice little wildcard victory, and then we'll get 624 00:29:00,108 --> 00:29:02,148 Speaker 1: to work. That's how I feel. It's just cart before 625 00:29:02,148 --> 00:29:04,268 Speaker 1: the horse, you know what I'm saying, Like, let's folk 626 00:29:04,468 --> 00:29:06,388 Speaker 1: us a little bit here. This is really tricky for 627 00:29:06,468 --> 00:29:09,508 Speaker 1: the Cowboys because Kyle, you nailed it like the Titans. 628 00:29:09,628 --> 00:29:12,228 Speaker 1: While some could argue that, like, don't play their guys 629 00:29:12,268 --> 00:29:14,228 Speaker 1: because the only game it matters to the Titans, which 630 00:29:14,228 --> 00:29:16,228 Speaker 1: we'll talk about this is the week a team game. 631 00:29:16,308 --> 00:29:18,508 Speaker 1: That was what Peter was saying yesterday, like, oh, Titans, 632 00:29:18,748 --> 00:29:21,188 Speaker 1: doesn't matter what happens. No, you have to figure it 633 00:29:21,268 --> 00:29:23,108 Speaker 1: out fast. If you're the Titans, you have to figure 634 00:29:23,148 --> 00:29:25,028 Speaker 1: out what's going on. If you make it into a 635 00:29:25,148 --> 00:29:28,588 Speaker 1: fighting spot in the postseason, you better have your identity, right, Commanders. 636 00:29:28,748 --> 00:29:31,188 Speaker 1: Let's remember who played spoiler to the Eagles perfect season 637 00:29:31,348 --> 00:29:34,108 Speaker 1: not so long ago. Was the Commander? So what sweet 638 00:29:34,548 --> 00:29:36,708 Speaker 1: tune that would be for Washington if they could do 639 00:29:36,828 --> 00:29:39,428 Speaker 1: that to the Cowboys. I look at Dak Prescott once again, 640 00:29:39,428 --> 00:29:41,508 Speaker 1: it's a nice round number. He's played ten games this 641 00:29:41,628 --> 00:29:44,028 Speaker 1: season due to injury. His first five games he had 642 00:29:44,068 --> 00:29:46,788 Speaker 1: four picks. His last five games he's at eight. But 643 00:29:46,948 --> 00:29:50,108 Speaker 1: what's odd is that the Cowboys offense is actually producing 644 00:29:50,188 --> 00:29:52,748 Speaker 1: at a much higher rate in the last five compared 645 00:29:52,748 --> 00:29:55,868 Speaker 1: to the first five. They're scoring eight points more per game. 646 00:29:56,108 --> 00:29:57,908 Speaker 1: What does that look like? Does that mean that Dak 647 00:29:58,108 --> 00:30:01,748 Speaker 1: is taking deeper shots, He's taking higher risk and there's 648 00:30:01,788 --> 00:30:04,908 Speaker 1: more reward there. But man, the risk, it's uggle at times. 649 00:30:04,948 --> 00:30:07,308 Speaker 1: It puts them in bad spots against the Jaguars. It 650 00:30:07,468 --> 00:30:09,468 Speaker 1: kicked off last week's game with the pick, and you're like, 651 00:30:09,628 --> 00:30:12,188 Speaker 1: oh boy, here we go back to back picks over 652 00:30:12,268 --> 00:30:13,908 Speaker 1: a span of two games. What is going on at 653 00:30:13,948 --> 00:30:16,548 Speaker 1: deck that last week's game was great and it was needed. 654 00:30:16,668 --> 00:30:19,028 Speaker 1: Cowboys had to beat the Eagles. The Eagles were without 655 00:30:19,108 --> 00:30:21,548 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, of course, But I look at Dak and like, 656 00:30:21,748 --> 00:30:23,908 Speaker 1: are you showing us a side of you that we 657 00:30:23,988 --> 00:30:25,868 Speaker 1: had not seen before? Which is a more of a 658 00:30:26,028 --> 00:30:28,068 Speaker 1: risk take her quarterback? But here it comes with a 659 00:30:28,108 --> 00:30:31,188 Speaker 1: side of points and extra yards. But what is that 660 00:30:31,308 --> 00:30:32,988 Speaker 1: going to come at? What risk will you put your 661 00:30:33,028 --> 00:30:35,428 Speaker 1: team into? In January? So I look at him. Is 662 00:30:35,428 --> 00:30:37,268 Speaker 1: he gonna rise to the occasion because he has to 663 00:30:37,308 --> 00:30:39,868 Speaker 1: be the difference? Yeah, you've mentioned identity, And I look 664 00:30:39,908 --> 00:30:42,548 Speaker 1: at the Cowboys defense because for them, they've been a 665 00:30:42,668 --> 00:30:45,948 Speaker 1: strong part of their games and their winning games this season, 666 00:30:46,028 --> 00:30:48,588 Speaker 1: and their defense is almost like that crazy like college 667 00:30:48,628 --> 00:30:51,468 Speaker 1: girlfriend you have where there's times where she just drives 668 00:30:51,508 --> 00:30:53,948 Speaker 1: you insane. You're like what am I doing? But there's 669 00:30:53,988 --> 00:30:55,948 Speaker 1: those moments where it's just like, Oh, that's why I 670 00:30:56,028 --> 00:30:58,628 Speaker 1: love this woman. She's crazy, but my goodness, and those 671 00:30:58,708 --> 00:31:01,508 Speaker 1: moments happen different times, different for those moments. We're not 672 00:31:01,548 --> 00:31:04,028 Speaker 1: gonna get into detailing that. You don't have it. It's 673 00:31:04,068 --> 00:31:06,468 Speaker 1: a morning show. And you look at her, and that's 674 00:31:06,508 --> 00:31:09,308 Speaker 1: the Cowboys defense because in these last three games, they've 675 00:31:09,308 --> 00:31:12,108 Speaker 1: given up ninety seven points, averaging over thirty points a 676 00:31:12,188 --> 00:31:14,948 Speaker 1: game on defense, but they're taking the ball away as 677 00:31:15,028 --> 00:31:18,108 Speaker 1: such a high clip with Stephen Jones mention those three games, 678 00:31:18,268 --> 00:31:22,908 Speaker 1: they have nine takeaways, multiple interceptions, forcing fumbles, and that's 679 00:31:22,948 --> 00:31:24,468 Speaker 1: what has been all about. You look at this past 680 00:31:24,548 --> 00:31:27,588 Speaker 1: Ego games. They have four turnovers in that game, and 681 00:31:27,788 --> 00:31:30,948 Speaker 1: that's how you have the ability to win even when 682 00:31:31,108 --> 00:31:34,188 Speaker 1: Dak has interceptions, when they're still putting points up because 683 00:31:34,188 --> 00:31:36,548 Speaker 1: their defense is taken it away and they're leading the 684 00:31:36,708 --> 00:31:39,628 Speaker 1: NFL right now with thirty takeaways. But why are they 685 00:31:39,668 --> 00:31:41,788 Speaker 1: giving up so many points? Why are they giving up 686 00:31:42,028 --> 00:31:44,348 Speaker 1: the big plays, a double move to Zay Jones down 687 00:31:44,388 --> 00:31:47,148 Speaker 1: the sideline, Gardner Mischu putting up over three hundred and 688 00:31:47,188 --> 00:31:50,628 Speaker 1: fifty yards passing in this past game. So it drives 689 00:31:50,668 --> 00:31:52,628 Speaker 1: you crazy when you washed them, because it's just like 690 00:31:52,908 --> 00:31:56,188 Speaker 1: the amount of talent, the amount of potential. Michael Michael 691 00:31:56,228 --> 00:31:59,188 Speaker 1: Parsons then you have digs in the secondary, but you're 692 00:31:59,228 --> 00:32:01,628 Speaker 1: still trying to put your finger on why the games 693 00:32:01,668 --> 00:32:03,868 Speaker 1: are ending and they're plus thirty points and putting it 694 00:32:03,908 --> 00:32:06,788 Speaker 1: all up. But our girlfriend, my goodness, the way she 695 00:32:06,868 --> 00:32:09,268 Speaker 1: can make you feeling let's go. You'll take it. So 696 00:32:09,668 --> 00:32:11,708 Speaker 1: continue to take the ball away and you can find 697 00:32:11,788 --> 00:32:14,308 Speaker 1: ways to win those games can play, you know, like 698 00:32:14,428 --> 00:32:17,028 Speaker 1: my reference Bill drew Ill in the in the bar 699 00:32:17,228 --> 00:32:20,068 Speaker 1: right talking about it. I know. Um coming up on 700 00:32:20,108 --> 00:32:22,428 Speaker 1: Go Morning Football two time to my law. Unfortunately is 701 00:32:22,468 --> 00:32:26,068 Speaker 1: back in concussion protocol. Our own Judy Bautista and the 702 00:32:26,228 --> 00:32:29,988 Speaker 1: NFL's chief Medical Officer, doctor Allan Sills, have a discussion 703 00:32:30,188 --> 00:32:34,548 Speaker 1: about his status. Later on plus NFC South, Oh, our 704 00:32:34,628 --> 00:32:38,468 Speaker 1: sweet sweet NFC South. We love it. Who's gonna take it? 705 00:32:38,828 --> 00:32:40,388 Speaker 1: You don't even have to pay for it. It's free. 706 00:32:40,828 --> 00:32:43,988 Speaker 1: If you can haul it, you can have it. And 707 00:32:44,148 --> 00:32:46,228 Speaker 1: yet no one's haul it. We'll get into it after this. 708 00:32:46,468 --> 00:32:48,548 Speaker 1: No one's come to pick it up. No, does anybody 709 00:32:48,588 --> 00:32:49,188 Speaker 1: have to pick up
