Here chance to 12 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: go to the Final four. And you had Mike tar Rico, 13 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: Chris Collinsworth, they had the call on and me see 14 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: a blustery day on the shores of Lake Michigan, the 15 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: mighty Lake Michigan. Temperatures in the teens, although it felt 16 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: like it was below ten. Now I knew that the 17 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: Chicago Marching in Chowder society was fired up for this game. 18 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: My great friend from Radio Gone By, Mike North, one 19 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,839 Speaker 1: of the all time great radio talk show hosts sports 20 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 1: radio guys who did a morning show here, sent a 21 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: message out on social media Northey with he was walking 22 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: his dog in the suburbs of Chicago and ranting and 23 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 1: raving about the weather and all that. So you knew 24 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: I was all fired up here. Surely a California team, 25 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: you all tell me how soft these California teams are, 26 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: had no chance in those conditions, zero opportunity unless they did. Now, 27 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw the game or not. 28 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: Maybe we're busy. I don't know what hell you were doing. 29 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: Perhaps you weren't there. But the game came down to 30 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: overtime when the Great Harrison Mavis, better known as the 31 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: Thicker Kicker, booted a forty two yard majestic field goal 32 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: in overtime and the Rams gettered one Cam Curl who 33 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: Cam Curl had picked off Caleb Williams and the Bears 34 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: first postseason possession, first overtime possession in this game, not 35 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: the postseason. Obviously, they played the Packers last week, but 36 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 1: that was it. Bears got the ball, Rams did not 37 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: do anything with it on their first possession. Bears get it, 38 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: go down, kick a field goal, win the game. Caleb 39 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 1: Williams had other ideas. He said, you know what, I 40 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: went to SC I want to see an LA team 41 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 1: do well because I couldn't do it do well for 42 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: an LA team, so I'll help an LA team. And 43 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: he did, and I'd like to thank Caleb Williams. Yeah, 44 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: you didn't do squad at USC in terms of helping 45 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: the Trojans win anything, but and very impressive of helping 46 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: the Rams win. So game ball goes to Caleb Williams. 47 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: There the Bears quarterback Matthew Stafford, who didn't have a 48 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 1: touchdown but was captain Clutch, completed three passes for first 49 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 1: downs on that final drive, a sixteen yarder to Puka 50 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: Nakula to set the Rams up in field goal range 51 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: and give them the chance to win the game. So 52 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: the Rams are off to Seattle now and they can 53 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: send Sam Darnold in the Seahawks home. That'll be coming 54 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: up on Sunday. But the better story is in the 55 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: losing locker room. The better story losing the lockos of 56 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: the Bears are back in hybernation mode as the play 57 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: that it was all party about, the pants down, was 58 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams throwing a fourteen yard game tying chuck it 59 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: and duck throw in the final seconds to Cole Clement 60 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: the tight end. It traveled over fifty yards because he 61 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: kept running backwards. What are you doing? Why are you 62 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: You're going the wrong way, You're going the wrong way, 63 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: and anyway, he just chucked it up. The longest completed 64 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: pass by air distance in the red zone since they 65 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: started tracking, since the Nerds took over football statistics, and 66 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: that was back in twenty sixteen, so it's been a 67 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: decade that had a completion PROBA variability. The Caleb Williams 68 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: game tying touchdown pass of less than twenty percent. That 69 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: is a good jumping off point. So let us discuss 70 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: the question for the esteem panel. What happened to all 71 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: of the Bear's momentum? Where did it go? Where did 72 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: it go? After that late touchdown by Caleb Williams. Collinsworth 73 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: had his knee patch out. He was so excited for 74 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, and Tarika sounded like he had grew up 75 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: a Bears fan the way he was describing the blood 76 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: like the greatest they've never seen. So clearly the Bears 77 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: couldn't lose that game. It was a fade accompany. How 78 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: did they do it? How did they not win that game? 79 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: What happened to the momentum? So I've got fajitas freestyle 80 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: jazz and spit on your hands, and we will combine 81 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: all of these things together and we're going to make 82 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: some delicious deep dish pizza, which is still outstanding, and 83 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: the Bears can drown their sorrows in big slices of 84 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: deep dish pizza. Absolutely, all right. So first of all, 85 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: all right, the Bears momentum. I'll tell you where the 86 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: momentum is. It's the same place you can find Bigfoot, 87 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: the Tooth Fairy, and the Easter Bunny. They all hang 88 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: out together, their roommates momentum Uncle Moe, which I thought 89 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: lives in Jersey, but Mo and the Tooth Fairy best friends, 90 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: Bigfoot and of course better known as Sasquatch and the 91 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: Easter Bunny. It just never existed. It's like it never existed. 92 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: Momentum is sports talk. MSG is what is you sprinkling 93 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: on anything? Sprinkle sprinkle, sprinkle sprinkles. Yeah, and suddenly dumb 94 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: people think it enhanced the flavor. It doesn't. Oh my god. 95 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: The Bears didn't lose momentum. They confirmed the diagnosis. Is 96 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 1: what they did in this game. The touchdown that was 97 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: like the firework finale, That late touchdown by Caleb Williams 98 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: where he just threw it up in the air and 99 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 1: define intervention took over there, and then the overtime happened 100 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: for Chicago, and the Bears needed some oxygen and permission 101 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: to use said oxygen at that point. So the cardiac 102 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: kids they were until the unfortunately the heart monitor flatline, 103 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: and now they're just see you later, bye bye, You're 104 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: gone out of here. Yeah, so there they were set 105 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: up in overtime. Rams fetched around on their first possessions. 106 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: So the Bears got it and did nothing with it 107 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 1: other than give it back, other than give it back 108 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: to the Rams and set them up there. So momentum 109 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: just one of those words that sportscasters like to use 110 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: when they just want to explain. Use it for anything. Momentum. 111 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: You know, I walked in the street, I had momentum. Yeah, 112 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: I walked down to the toilet, I took a one. 113 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: I had a lot of momentum and flushed the toilet 114 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,799 Speaker 1: a lot of mo, lot of mo. Absolutely, yes, clearly, 115 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: it's just mumbo jump. It's like word fahitas. You just 116 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: throw out the word momentum and just toss it up 117 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: there and put some onions and some bell Pepper and 118 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: you're good to go. If momentum were read, all the 119 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: Bears right now would be getting ready to head to 120 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: Seattle for the NFC title game. Alias, they're not so, 121 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: Ben Johnson. It's all about the magic, the magical season 122 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: for the Chicago Bears. So the Bears ought to go 123 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: on Amazon Prime, Ben Johnson, and I think they still 124 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: have some old, amazing Cresken magic kits and they can 125 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: get one of those magic kids Amazon Prime have it 126 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: delivered there because they clearly need some more abracadabra, hocus 127 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: pocus and presto at Hallas Hall because they ran out 128 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: of tricks now. Secondly, as for Caleb Williams, the man 129 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: with the nicest fingernails in the NFL, So the circus 130 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: throw that everyone was goga for, he just ran back. 131 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: Everything you're not supposed to do, everything you're not supposed 132 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: to do he did, and for that particular play it 133 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: worked and so he runs back and they were all 134 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: excited about that. However, Williams ended this game with three 135 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: inner SEPs, three interceptions in this game, backbreaking for the 136 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears opportunity to win this game. So the question 137 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: as the Bears do inventory. Their season is now dune 138 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: skis Is the glass half full or is the glass 139 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: half empty? On quarterback Caleb Williams at this particular point, 140 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: So I would be I'm not gonna be totally Benny 141 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: bright Seid, but I'll be I'll be fair here. Listen, 142 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: the glass, for Caleb Williams is half full. However, it's 143 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: got these little microscopic hairline cracks. Just can't even see 144 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: them to the naked eye, but you put them under 145 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: the Mallord microscope and there's some hairline cracks there. And 146 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: so the glass starting to sweat a little bit and 147 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: sitting on the on the table. But the tables built 148 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: by a guy who just kind of eyeballed it and 149 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: then shrugged and blamed the floor because it's not quite stable. 150 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 1: So I just eyeballed it. I didn't Why didn't you 151 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: follow the instruction? Well, I didn't need to follow the instruction, 152 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams. Din'tall the instructions. There is no coach on 153 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: Gods Green Earth that tells you on a fourth down 154 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: you've got to have it play, to run as far 155 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: back as you possibly can and then just chuck the 156 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: thing up in the air, all right, nobody tells you 157 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: to do that. He did it and it worked that time. 158 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams is a fun zone type of quarterback. He's 159 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: a one man band. He's got the drums to the right, 160 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: he's got the guitar to the left. Little smoke machine 161 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: got that over there as well. Occasionally that smoke machine 162 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: sets off the fire alarm, and so Caleb also has 163 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: it appears to be an underlying condition. It's the old 164 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: double edged sword here for the Bears. He is the 165 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: gunslinger quarterback. And if it was music, think of it 166 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: like freestyle jazz. You know, sometimes freestyle jazz is just 167 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: a masterpiece, it's genius. And then there's other times it's 168 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: the solo nobody wanted, nobody asked for. What are you doing? 169 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: I've got a headache. I've got a migraine headache from 170 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: what you called freestyle jazz. It was terrible. And so listen, 171 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: big plays, big thrills, all that for Caleb Williams in 172 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: this game, and the turnovers that make your fan base 173 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 1: age like dog in Dog Gears watching this happen. There 174 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: so no ifs ands or butts about it. It was 175 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: reckless and in this game it ended up costing the 176 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. The Rams do not win this game without 177 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: the assist of Caleb Willing. He does get a game 178 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: ball from the Rams. Caleb Williams tremendous job finally helping 179 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,199 Speaker 1: an LA team win a big game. He couldn't do 180 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: that at sc again, so good job by him and 181 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 1: the Chicago If Caleb just kind of held on to 182 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: a little bit more look close to the best, you know, 183 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: and they're getting ready to go to the Pacific Northwest. 184 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: But the Holster, he couldn't holster the Cape. He had 185 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: to use the Cape, and he used the Cape and 186 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: all that. That's the deal. It's the old line for 187 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: better or worse. You take the good with the bad, 188 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: and that's what the Bears are going to have to 189 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: deal with with Caleb Winns. The problem with the Bears, 190 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: I see is you've got Ben Johnson who does things unorthodox, 191 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: and you combine that with Kayvid Williams. That does not 192 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 1: seem like that's going to have a lot of success 193 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. One of those two guys is gonna 194 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: have to change all right. Going forward on fourth down 195 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: as often as the Bears did, and short yardage situations 196 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: not being able to get that done. And so you 197 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: buy the fireworks, and the Bears bought the fireworks. You're 198 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: gonna you can't complain when things start exploding. So the 199 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: Bears like the fireworks of Ben Johnson and they like 200 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: Kevin Wait, did I get it? But they had a 201 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: big time year by Bear standards. You gotta tweak some things. 202 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: The thing of a jig needs to be moved around 203 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: a little bit to the right in order for this 204 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: to work. So and again, the glass is half full, 205 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 1: glasses half full. I just don't lean on that table 206 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: because the guy eyeballed it and put that thing together. 207 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: I don't know that that's gonna work all right now, 208 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: final thought on the Rams side of things. The Rams 209 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: side of things, So La wins a game at Soldier 210 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: Field in a game played in ice box conditions without 211 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford having a touchdown pass. The MVP this year 212 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: did not have a touchdown pass against the Bears in 213 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: that game. So the question is this, what message did 214 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: the Sean McVay Rams send by winning at Soldier Field 215 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: in Chicago. So it was a reminder, it was a 216 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 1: refresher course, rather simple here, these are not your daddy's Rams. 217 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: These are not your granddaddy's Rams. No, no, no, no, 218 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: this is not the old Ram tropes of years ago. 219 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: That these guys, they're just doing pilates on the beach 220 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: and soy lattes and soft serve West Coast Football. Now now, now, now, now, 221 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: that was a knuckle sandwich. They gave the Chicago Bears. 222 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: Here lunch pail spin on your hand. Kind of a 223 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: win for the Rams in Chicago. And the only team 224 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: to win this weekend was the La Rams. All the 225 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: other home teams were able to win their games, the 226 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: Rams the only road team to get it done. And 227 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: so the Rams find themselves in a situation where they 228 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: are in position, the Rams to go back to a 229 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and all that's standing in their ways the 230 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks, who without the officials helping them, they would 231 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: have swept the season series and this game would be 232 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: in La. It doesn't matter. The officials had to send 233 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: pookin nakoula message in that game in Seattle, where, if 234 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: you remember, they just handed the Seahawks the the two points. Unbelievable, 235 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: still one of the most egregious calls in NFL history, 236 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: and everyone just kind of forgets about that. It's like, well, 237 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: we'll just give it to them. Well we didn't get it, 238 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: but we'll just do it. We'll just well that's fine, 239 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: all right anyway, So I went back and I checked 240 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: my my inboxes. I wanted to make sure that I 241 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 1: thought maybe I was having a dream. So I went 242 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: back and I looked at my inbox and I was like, okay, 243 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: so what were all those messages my friends in Chicago 244 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: and the Bears fans were sending me? So I got 245 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: a lot of these. The Rams are soft. That came 246 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: up a lot on the inbox. They play in a dome. Well, 247 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: it's kind of a faux dome. It's not a real dome. 248 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: The NFL says it's not a dome. There's a roof 249 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 1: on it, but it's open on the ends. So like 250 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: everything else in LA, it's fake. It's a fake dome. 251 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: They play Also at Stafford is going to turn into 252 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: a human popsicle. A lot of you told me that 253 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: at Soldier Field and the Rams can't win unless Stafford plays, Well, 254 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: well that's a lie. So who goofed? I've got to 255 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: know who Goofed? I've got to know. Listen was this 256 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: a sizzle real game for Matthew Stafford. No, it was 257 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: not a sizzle real game. No pirouette on the catwalk. 258 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: You're not going to be doing that, No glamour shots, 259 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: no posting on social media. It wasn't that kind of 260 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: a day. It was not for Matthew Stafford. This was 261 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: the Rams defense. Even though the Bears had a bunch 262 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: of yards, they score munch points like the Bears moved 263 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: the ball between the twenties pretty well. The Rams defense 264 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: and the running game physicality, punching the time card, getting 265 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: it done, clocking out with a win, and now again 266 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: one step away from the football version of the Promised Land. 267 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: Here and so as far as toughness short yardage football, 268 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: and there are old Chicago Bears players rolling over in 269 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: graveyards because the Chicago Bears on short yardage oftentimes got 270 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: pushed back by the La Rams. How embarrassing is that 271 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: for Ben Johnson and the Chicago Bears. The Bears needed 272 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: a crowbar and still couldn't move the pile most of 273 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: the time on short yards third and one, fourth down 274 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: and one, the Rams were able to bottle them up 275 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: like expired hot sauce. It was machiese mal intestinal fortitude, 276 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: all that stuff making plays in key moments there. Whatever 277 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: it takes, whatever it takes, and so the Rams win 278 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: with grease under their fingernails. That's a grease under the 279 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: fingernails type of win there, Chicago, rather embarrassing. That's a 280 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: cold weather. You're at home. You plan a West Coast team. 281 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: All that's second road game in a row. Some of 282 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: you idiots think they travel by stagecoach and not luxury 283 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: chartered flights and police escorted buses and stay at five 284 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: star hotels. But I digress. So the Rams get it 285 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: done and the Bears now go back and get ready 286 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: for the NFL Draft in Pittsburgh in less than one 287 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: hundred days. 288 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Mallor 289 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on 290 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. Fox Sports Radio 291 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 2: is taking over YouTube and you can be a part 292 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 2: of it.

And if you thought the Grim Reaper, a 302 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: grim Reaper of coaches was done, the Grim Reaper had 303 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: gone back, you know, you know, like Santa Claus works 304 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 1: one day a year and then and then that's it, 305 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: just on Christmas. Well, the Grim Reaper of football coaches, 306 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,959 Speaker 1: they work a few days a year, normally in January. 307 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 1: That's pretty much it. That's you're done. And yet here 308 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: we are past the midway point of January. And ta. 309 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 1: If you thought the Grim Reaper was done, you're wrong. 310 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,439 Speaker 1: You're wrong. You're wrong. You're wrong. Another one bites the dust, 311 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: and another one, and another one, and another one and 312 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 1: another one. If you did not hear, perhaps not. Coach 313 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott has been pull axed fired by the team 314 00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: owner Terry Pagoula after a nine year run in Western 315 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: New York. The Bills have said bye bye to their 316 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: head coach the Buffalo football team a perennial contender. However, 317 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 1: they found new and creative ways to choke in the playoffs. 318 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: There they did not reach a super Bowl under Sean McDermott. 319 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 1: Despite having teams that were at times favored to get 320 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. They found ways to screw it 321 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: up so that the move came two days two days 322 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: after the game in Denver where the Buffalo Bills did 323 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: the thing you can't do at the time. You can't 324 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: do it there a couple of times ended up losing. 325 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: So a number of players are beside themselves. They are bewildered, 326 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: thunderstruck because of the move to get rid of Sean McDermott. 327 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 1: Fans also outraged over this decision by the ownership there 328 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: in Buffalo. That is a good jumping off points. So 329 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: let us discuss the question for the team panel, did 330 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 1: which Sean McDermott. Did coach Sean McDermott get a raw 331 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: deal in Buffalo? Did he get a raw deal? So 332 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: I've got flippers, hamburger, helper, and cloverleaf intersection, and we 333 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we were 334 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: going to make some chicken Alfredo is what we're going 335 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: to make. So first of all, to answer the question, 336 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: was this a raw deal for Sean McDermott, The answer 337 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: is no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no, 338 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: with an explation point in fact, he was given a 339 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: sweetheart deal. In most places, McDermott would have been fired 340 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: three years ago. He got three extra years to prove 341 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 1: he shouldn't have been coaching the last three years Sean McDermott. 342 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,719 Speaker 1: And so no, the opposite of that, this was a 343 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: move that should have been made a while ago. It 344 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: had to be made now. It was inevitable. Now that 345 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: being said, I didn't think they would have the balls 346 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: to do it in Buffalo, so I'm surprised that they did. 347 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,400 Speaker 1: And we did a Mallard monologue in a previous episode 348 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: of the show saying that, yeah, you should get rid 349 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: of this guy. Of course you should get rid of 350 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: Sean McDermot. The twenty twenty five season, it turned out, 351 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: was indeed the last dance. That was it, And the 352 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: folding tables snapped in half. Bill's Mafia jumped on it, 353 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: and the table snapped in half, and that's it. You 354 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: can only jump through so many flaming tables, Okay, and 355 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 1: before you realize that you're stuck on like level thirteen, 356 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: but you want to get to level fifteen, but you're 357 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: stuck on level thirteenth. Well, how do I get to 358 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: level fifteen? Now we are skeptical. We are skeptical that 359 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: the Bills know what they're doing right, considering that they 360 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 1: gave this guy three extra years, three extra years Sean 361 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: McDermott got. And the reason that we didn't think this 362 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 1: was gonna happen is because foc fear of change, right, 363 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: fear of change, fear of the unknown. And the Bills 364 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: were were comfortable. They'd been bad for twenty years, and 365 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: so they were comfortable. The ten plus wins, playoffs, snow 366 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: Globe games on National TV, Chicken Wings in the air, everywhere, 367 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 1: Bill's Mafia breaking furniture like it's a home improvement show 368 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: gone bad, all of that stuff that's not Bills. That's 369 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: the essence of the Buffalo Bills and Sean McDermott coaching. 370 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: This team had built up a nice ranch house, a 371 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: nice ranch home Sean McDermott had built up, and it 372 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: was working. They were winning some games and all that stuff, 373 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: and it was wonderful and they were all excited and 374 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: was great and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. However, 375 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 1: what ended up happening every January. Every January, the ending 376 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: was the same. It was four of the past five 377 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 1: four of the past five years. How has this thing 378 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,679 Speaker 1: ended for the Buffalo Bills. Well, they've ended it in heartbreak, 379 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 1: fag And so when you keep crashing out, when you 380 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: get to that level thirteen, you can't get past it. 381 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 1: You don't yell at the controller, you change the strategy. 382 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: And so McDermott they gave him another chance, and another 383 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: one and another one, and it didn't work out. So 384 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: they could ban his head against the wall and all 385 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: that stuff. They couldn't find the right cheat code, couldn't 386 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: figure out warp zone. There was no warp zone for 387 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Here, just more frostbite and oh my god, 388 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 1: we suck again. And at some point you stop mashing 389 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: those buttons on the remote control and you go to 390 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: YouTube or the dark web and you say, okay, we 391 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: got to figure something else out. And so that's what 392 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: they're going to do. And now the bills job prime Rib. 393 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: The Bill's job is prime Rib. You've got the lunatic 394 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: fan base check small town insanity. You check that box. 395 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: You've got Josh Allen, who's got two more years of 396 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: athletic prime, so two more years of Josh Allen before 397 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 1: the slow decline. So you've got so that's all good stuff, right. 398 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: So you get those things and you're looking around, you're like, okay, 399 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: so you've got this kind of set up, and where 400 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: is this headed. So you've got the job. That's team 401 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 1: that's contender, just already a contender, we know that. And 402 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 1: so you go in there. Whoever gets the Buffalo Bill's job. 403 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 1: We'll talk about this more as we go through this 404 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: hour here, but whoever gets that job, you're not rebuilding, right, 405 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: and you should never be reballying. You're installing. Essentially, a 406 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: booster seat is what you're doing. You get a booster 407 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: seat in there and you floor it, pedal to the metal, 408 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 1: and you just go for it here. And we have 409 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: seen that this can work. It doesn't work all the time, 410 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: it has worked. The most famous example, Tony Dungee built 411 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers into a really good team years 412 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 1: ago in Tampa and then couldn't get it done. And 413 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: then they brought in John Gruden who the check that 414 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: was set up by Tony Dungee. So it's like HGTV 415 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 1: the Pigskin House Flippers addition, and so you go in 416 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: there and McDermott he turned he didn't do some flipping. 417 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: He turned the house the outhouse into not quite a penthouse, 418 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 1: but it's like a level below the penthouse. So he 419 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: did that and he ran out of money, or in 420 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: this case, he ran out of time. Time is money, 421 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 1: So he ran out of time McDermott. And so someone 422 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: else will go in there, and if the Bills don't 423 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: screw this up, they will be the ones to hang 424 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: up the Lombardi trophy on the shelf and they'll put 425 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 1: that up in the house that McDermott built. Now. Secondly, 426 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: so now Buffalo is back on the market, they need 427 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,199 Speaker 1: to hire a new coach. We know that they need 428 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: a new sideline jockey. So the question with the Bills 429 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 1: out shopping for someone to guide them on the sidelines. 430 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: Here for the first time in almost a decade, the 431 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: Bills are in the market for a head coach. Who 432 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: do you recommend? You are now the headhunter, you are 433 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: now the advisor. Who do you recommend for the Buffalo job. 434 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: So this one is a no brainer. It's not that 435 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: difficult here if the Bills are serious and if they 436 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 1: really want to go for it here, and that's a 437 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 1: big if with the Buffalo Bills, it's a big if. 438 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: But if that's the case, you do whatever you have 439 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: to do, including handing over the keys to Niagara Falls, 440 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: to get Mike Tomlin. Hold my god, what you're talking about. 441 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: Tomvin didn't win it pittsbot He's been bad for ten years. 442 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: Shut up. You lose there. That makes mine all right. 443 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: The argument against Tomlin is he didn't get it done 444 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: for a while in Pittsburgh, and all that I say 445 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: for Geyze absolutely forgezy. The problem Tomlin had he had 446 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: substandard rosters, inferior quarterbacks and was able to make the 447 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: playoffs most of the time in Pittsburgh. If you give 448 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin a legitimate thorough bred quarterback and that team 449 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: is going to punch their ticket to the Promised Land there, 450 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: it'll be like muscle memory for Mike tom I'm telling 451 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: you it's gonna be like muscle memory. The standard is 452 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: the standard that fits that bull crap fits in Western 453 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 1: New York like thermal underwear in January just fits you 454 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: need it, And so that job the Buffalo Bill's job. 455 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 1: Now I recommend Mike Tomlin. That's my unsolicited overnight device. 456 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: But the Buffalo Bill's job is a Hamburger helper job. 457 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: It is. It's in terms of coaching, ready made contender 458 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: right now, playoff team consistently, big time quarterback. This is 459 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 1: a just add water situation. You are great, are You're 460 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: nodding your head, Yes, it's a just add water situation. 461 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: Dinner is served, You've got the protein Josh Allen and 462 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: you'd like to see him stop burning down the kitchen 463 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 1: with turnovers like he did against the Broncos and all that. 464 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: But the early chatter chatter is not The early chatter 465 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,479 Speaker 1: is not Mike Tomlin. The early chatter is that the 466 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: team from Buffalo is going to look to pacify Josh 467 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: Allen and hire Brian Dayball. He's the early favorite, not 468 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin, the human boomerang Brian day Ball there who 469 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: failed spectacularly with the Giants. But hey, for he's a 470 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,360 Speaker 1: jolly goodfellow which nobody can and I why not buy 471 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: him a beer by everyone beers past the mashed potatoes Grandma, 472 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: way to go the old boys Club. That's the logic, right, 473 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 1: there's always the way you go. Default position. It's not 474 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 1: what you know. And this is not just football, this 475 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:49,959 Speaker 1: is just life in general. It's not what you know, 476 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,400 Speaker 1: it's who you know. And so not exactly great leadership, 477 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: it's not. It's more like, hey, I'm on LinkedIn, let 478 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 1: me see what they can find, or I'm on Express 479 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: or whatever. Now. Either way, outside of replacing and the 480 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 1: read which that job is not open at this point 481 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 1: in Kansas City, no word that that job will be open. 482 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: So we're going to assume the position that that is 483 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: not happy that that job will not open up. So 484 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: outside of that job, the Andy Reid chiefs job, this 485 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 1: is the job. This is the job. Don't overthink it. 486 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 1: I would advise to not hire a friend. Don't hire 487 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: a friend. You're not running a bake sale here in Buffalo, 488 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: you're not. I just go ahead and hire Thomas. Everyone 489 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: says Tomlin's not going to coach, he wants to take 490 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: a year off. Unless there's something that we don't know 491 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: about that hasn't been disclosed, Tomlin will be coaching again. 492 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: So if Tomlin's planning on going back to coaching. By 493 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: the time you get back, this job is not gonna 494 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: be open. So like, come on, what are you doing? 495 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: Just do what it takes. Everyone's got a price. Hire 496 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: Thomlin right now. Final thought as for the guy. As 497 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: for the guy who just got dumped, we know how 498 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: this works in the NFL too, with the recycling. The 499 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: NFL ahead of their time when it comes to recycling. 500 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: So the question where does former Bills coach Sean McDermott 501 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: end up. Where does McDermott end up? Well, McDermott is 502 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: not unemployed, but I think unemployed. I think, well, I 503 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: don't have any money coming. He's still getting paid by 504 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: the Bills. He had time left on his contract. He 505 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: wasn't a lame duck coach from what I understand. So 506 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: I think of this in the context that Sean McDermott 507 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: is at the intersection, the blinker is on, the blinker 508 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: is on the station wagon is idling the McDermott station wagon. 509 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: The kids are in the back asking dad, where are 510 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: we there yet? Where we going? Dad? Where we go? Okay? 511 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: Calm down? Shot up? Kids, all right? So he dropped 512 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: a token. He dropped a token into the NFL arcade 513 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: and boom the coaching mayor go around, fired up, round 514 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: and round and round the big wooden horse brass pole, 515 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: up and down, the same song every coaching cycle, every 516 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: coaching cycle, the same song. And mcdermot's resume it says 517 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: one thing. It doesn't say I'm gonna win you a championship. 518 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 1: It says I will make you respectable where the capital 519 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: are right. And if you look at these terrible franchises 520 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: like the Raiders and the Browns and the Cardinals, these 521 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: teams and there are others that have jobs open. Although 522 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: it appears the Tennessee Titans have decided on another terrible coach, 523 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: Robert Sala. One of why certain teams always end up 524 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: in the same spot, Well, there you go anyway. He 525 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: would put you in the respectable category. And so that's 526 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: not a bad thing. And one man's trash there is 527 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: another man's treasure. It's always the way this is in 528 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: the NFL here and so it's the other thing about 529 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: mcdermoid is he's not he's not a TV guy. He's 530 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: got a really boring person. He doesn't have much of 531 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: anything to offer other than coaching football. He's meeting potatoes. 532 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: There's no garnish. There, there's no razzle dazzle. He's not 533 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: gonna go off and do a Barstool Bros. Podcast and 534 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: play grab ass with the bros at Barstool. He's not 535 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: doing that. That's not how he's wired. Okay, you're not 536 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: gonna go eat chicken wings and drink beer and do 537 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: that while doing some fugazi podcast. That's not gonna So 538 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: he's just one of these guys that rolls up his 539 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: sleeves and you got a sink that's leaking, he'll fix that. 540 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: He'll you get the thing over there that's not quite 541 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: working right on the on the door, he'll fix that 542 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: as well. And so the the option do you take 543 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: a gap year? Some people say, wow, you take a 544 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: gap year and then you go back to the market 545 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: and all that stuff, And that would be a big mistake. 546 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 1: A sabbatical by Sean McDermott. You know, that's what the 547 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 1: rich guys that can do TV too. He's not that guy, 548 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: as we said, he's not that type of coach. He's not. 549 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: And so you don't do this about so currently Sean 550 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 1: McDermot ACENTU, she's at the intersection. This is a clover 551 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: leaf intersection. He's at the clover leaf intersection, Sean McDermott. 552 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: So if you turn left, turn left. If you turn left, 553 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 1: you take a year off and battery recharge. That's not 554 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: what you should do. You should not turn left. If 555 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: you go straight, you grab one of these flea infested jobs, 556 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: like the Raiders, the Cardinals or the Browns, and you 557 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: go there. That's like the roach motel. You go to 558 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: one of those teams. Now, the other option at the 559 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: clover Leaf intersection is to turn ride, turn ride. You 560 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 1: head to Jerry's world where Cowboys' defensive coordinator. That job 561 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: opened up right now. Noise hasn't hired anyone, unless say 562 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: they hired some of the last hour, so that job 563 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: is open. So the defensive coordinator job is open for 564 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. You go there. If you're Sean McDermott, 565 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: that would be the fallback. It's not a full sabbatical 566 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: because you're still coaching. But you go to the Cowboys. 567 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: Jerry turns on the circus music, the spotlight. Jerry's barking 568 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: like a carnival barker. There. He's got the clown makeup 569 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: on the whole thing. He's a carnival huckster, and he 570 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: tries to hype up your value and all that stuff. 571 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: And you do that for a year, You go to 572 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: the Cowboys for a year, and suddenly mcdermot's back in 573 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: the front of the line and you can get one 574 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: of these top jobs that will pop open. Every year, 575 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: seven to ten jobs open up. And of course, the 576 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: great thing about the coaching carousel, as you know, the 577 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: ride does not stop. It does not. You just got 578 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: to pick the right horse. That's the problem. You got 579 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: to pick the right horse. 580 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maler 581 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific over 582 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 2: Mailor's Mountain of Money.
