1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: It's fine. It's fine podcast as a year and hello

2
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: from America. It's the Around the NFL podcast. That's my

3
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: British affectation again, sophistication. Dan Hansons, Greg Rosenthal Erica tamposted

4
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: back in the States and that all will be back

5
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: in the States. We're back, and I mean we all

6
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: the way back, baby, the best as we can be

7
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: because Mark Sessler is back. What's up? Quiet storm? Oh?

8
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:45,959
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, this is the second time

9
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: I've had to um discuss returning to the show after

10
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: it a medical scare. It's getting just slightly old. UM.

11
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: I had a good time like in the last month. Yeah,

12
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: the second time in the last I think probably the

13
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: upshot is I I hastened my return um the first time,

14
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: which might have been against uh, you know, smarter advisement. UM.

15
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: I have learned the value of having a great nurse

16
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: here and there. They've been UM, A lot of people

17
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: help me out during this whole thing. But also I

18
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: don't know to make it to keep it short like UM,

19
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: I have I think you know anyone that's been away

20
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: for any period our listeners, I've I have heard from

21
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: a ton of them, and I really think them for

22
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: everything that they wrote. Um, it has been a weird month.

23
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: Like I my life has changed a little bit. Um

24
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: from a physical perspective. I don't need to dig into

25
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: all that. But UM, it's good to be back here.

26
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: And I couldn't thank you more the three of you

27
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: and everyone surrounding you. UM that handled the TV shows, uh,

28
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: the podcast of course, the trip to London. You guys

29
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: did an incredible job from what I saw, And you know,

30
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: I did my best to handle any sort of drama

31
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: that occurred here on the in the States while you

32
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: were gone. Very little UM popped up. But it it also, UM,

33
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: you know, we've done this show for so long and

34
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: we've had to go through periods where you've got to

35
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: pitch in and do a little bit more. And I

36
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: know that you guys did that. It really um it

37
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: kind of it was terrible to be away on some

38
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: level because just as an aging man, UM, you're watching

39
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: like your career occur without you, kind of um from

40
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: a distance, and I had to reconcile a lot of that.

41
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: And you have a lot of hours alone to think

42
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: about your life. And I don't think anything for me

43
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: will ever really be the same, but um, it's it

44
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 1: also is the same in many ways, and so I

45
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: guess I'm just happy to be back with um, with

46
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: all three of you. People should know that Mark is

47
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: live via satellite inside an iron lung. That's right, it's

48
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: a wonderful place to be. He's live inside of kirk

49
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: Cousins is plus plexiglass container. Oh Mark, we we missed

50
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: you so much, buddy. Uh and the audience did as well.

51
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: And yeah, we had a great time in England. But

52
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: obviously it's just, you know, not the same about the

53
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: quiet storm. So it's great to have you in the mix.

54
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: When you referred to a great nurse, was that some

55
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: pillow talk of involving your wife or was that an

56
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: actual nurse, like a practitioner of medicine. Well, I won't

57
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: reveal the former, but Um, on the latter point, I

58
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: think that you know, I probably over over since late August.

59
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: You know, you nurses work three days a week, but

60
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: they work these twelve hour longer shifts, and I kind

61
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: of think that's an incredible setup. I think maybe I

62
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: should have been a nurse had it been more trendy

63
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: back in the day. I like, I could totally see you. Yeah,

64
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: I mean you have to, you have to kind of

65
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: care for people. It's nice. Um, but I would say that,

66
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: you know, having probably thirty of them over the last

67
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: month plus. Um, there is the way, Dan that you

68
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: power rank thirty two teams. I easily could have come

69
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: up with an article about power ranking nurses, an article

70
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: that literally know on what I've interested in reading. But

71
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: some really did there did their jobs with um a

72
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: plumb and I tell us I would note that right

73
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: away in appreciate that. Tell us about number twenty seven,

74
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: Olga seven, very run down. UM. One thing I've learned

75
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: is I am a pretty polite patient. I was told

76
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: that by you don't want to be a nightmare. Um.

77
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: But what I learned was that when you're not the

78
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: squeaky wheel, and I think we this is you know,

79
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: all areas of life if you have children, especially the

80
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: non squeaky wheel gets ignored. So the Olga at twenty

81
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: seven would be the type that you know. On her

82
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: twelve hour shifts, she stopped by three times, you know,

83
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: and I'm totally dehydrated and fading away. Because you're not

84
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: the most annoying patient. There are plenty of them, so

85
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: you've got to get in there and kind of learned

86
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: the smarts of how to be just vocal enough to

87
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: get attended to. That's what I've learned. Wow, And what

88
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: a lesson that is. Not that I'm hoping that you

89
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: have to deal with that, that's something. And and you'll

90
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: you'll have to promise us not to leave us again, because, uh,

91
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: we miss you when you're not here. And you know,

92
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: we were supposed to do a show. We were going

93
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: to take a little uh take a little break on Tuesday's.

94
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: We flew in, got in early last evening into Los Angeles,

95
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: ten hour flight after a crazy week and all that.

96
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: The plan was to take it easy Tuesday, come back Wednesday.

97
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: But then some crazy stuff went down. Uh. First of

98
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: course the John Gruden News which were about to dive

99
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: into uh and then like a wild Monday night game

100
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: where Lamar Jackson authored one of the more memorable prime

101
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: time performances in quite a long time. UH. And with

102
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: that all there, Greg, it was like, all right, I

103
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: think we gotta throw up the bat signal. We gotta

104
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: get back into the bunker cast uh, studio setups at

105
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: home and rip one off football waits for no travel

106
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: plans no, it's good. I mean, this was a wild,

107
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: a wild fork in the road for for two big

108
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: NFL characters. We might be the last time we talked

109
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: about John Gruden for quite a while. I think that's

110
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: certainly possible, all right, And also we're going to uh

111
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: cap the episode by previewing the first game of week six.

112
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: Look how the time flies. My goodness, Mark Sessler's back.

113
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: Let's do some news. All right, here we go John Gruden.

114
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: Unbelievable turn of events uh in the NFL On Monday, UH,

115
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: the Raiders coach who's been involved in the NFL for decades,

116
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: came back signed a ten year, one hundred million dollar

117
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: deal with the Raiders UH to lead them back to

118
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: the Promised Land. Instead, after three seasons in five games,

119
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:36,239
Speaker 1: he is out as a result of reports that emails

120
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: he wrote over ten year period included racist, misogynistic, and

121
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: anti gay language. That I mean, that's the hat trick.

122
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: If you're looking to get run the hell out of

123
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: town and your career to be shot, there it is.

124
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: And he did it all. Uh. And you know, this

125
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: is a situation that we saw leading into the weekend.

126
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,679
Speaker 1: It was a story because it was the Demorris Smith

127
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: jabs and the racist tropes in the language he used.

128
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: And little did we know at the time, but other

129
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: teams and the league and UH news organizations, most prominently

130
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: the New York Times. UH, there was much much more,

131
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: and it all came back to bite Gruden in a

132
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: big way. UM, and he had this statement released on Monday.

133
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: I love the Raiders and I do not want to

134
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: be a distraction. Thank you to all the players, coaches,

135
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: staff and fans of Raider Nation. I'm sorry. I never

136
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: meant to hurt anyone. Greg. There's there's there's long term

137
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: ramifications for the Raiders, their short term ramifications for the Raiders,

138
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: and we'll get to that. But the central figure here

139
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: John Gruden, a towering figure really in both the sidelines,

140
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: in the NFL and in the broadcasting ranks. He's gone

141
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: and he ain't coming back. I know. I think of

142
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: the few days after he won the Super Bowl with

143
00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: Tampa and Bill Belichick wrote this column weirdly in the

144
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: New York Times, and the column was like, what are

145
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: you gonna do next? And it was basically Jon Gruden

146
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: at that moment was as bright a young coaching light

147
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: as I can remember. Over the last twenty years, very

148
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: similar to Sean McVeigh. I think when when he popped up,

149
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: But if Sean McVeigh had had won the Super Bowl,

150
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: and you think about what happened after that in Tampa,

151
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: after that win, mediocrity, and then you think about this

152
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: run which has been mediocrity, and then you think about

153
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 1: now how it's gonna end and will forever um be

154
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: connected to Gruden, you know, as one of the first

155
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: couple of lines in in his obituary, how how this

156
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: went out in the most like embarrassing, ugly pathetic way possible.

157
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: And I think when the second batch of you know,

158
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: information came out, which Mark Davis, the Raiders owner, apparently

159
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: had a little bit of an idea was coming anyways,

160
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: and I think was prepared for it. Um there was

161
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: no choice Mark Davis, because Raiders history, of all teams,

162
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: is the history of inclusion. They they have been ahead

163
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: of the NFL at every step of the way in

164
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: terms of diversity, in terms of giving um black people

165
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: executive jobs, giving them coaching jobs, giving Latino X coaching jobs,

166
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: having you know, quarterbacks in that position, having women in

167
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: the executive positions. The Raiders are such a unique franchise

168
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: in history, but that that is one of the things

169
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: that has made them more unique than ever. And so

170
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: Mark Davis, I think knowing what his father would do

171
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: made a probably what for him was obviously a painful decision,

172
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 1: but I can't imagine it was one that was that

173
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: difficult for him. It was pretty obvious because to to

174
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: it to Mark Davis, to Al Davis something meant a

175
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: little more of what it meant to be a Raider.

176
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: I don't think he knew all of this stuff about

177
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: Gruden obviously when when he hired him, but he found

178
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: it out this weekend and and that was it. And

179
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: you move on and and maybe we will talk Gruden

180
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: in the future, because there will be lawyers, you know,

181
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: there will be money disputes, and there will be a

182
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: lot more that that goes on just between the Raiders

183
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: and John Gruden. But unbelievable to the career like that

184
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: that was once at that pedestal taken out in one

185
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: of the most I don't know, brutal ways, um in

186
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: in deserving ways that we've ever seen from a figure

187
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: of that level. Yeah, I mean, I love that you

188
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: mentioned the Belichick letter in the in the time that spans.

189
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: I mean, Gruden is one of these figures that you

190
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: know on a football front, has been in our lives

191
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: for decades plus because it wasn't even just the Bucks job.

192
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: It was him rising up as a colorful character with

193
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: the Niners and previous roles and just him on television

194
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: and the persona of Gruden as much as anything else.

195
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 1: But I guess you know, for all of us, you know,

196
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: character will be revealed, and uh, you know, I think

197
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: that it's it's fair to to look at this from

198
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: a couple of different angles, and you're absolutely right about

199
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Greg. Um, I think there's it's fair to question,

200
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: even with the Demorris Smith comments that came out, why

201
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: Gruden would have been coaching on on Sunday. Um, that's

202
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: for another day, because I think it's pretty evident because Gruden,

203
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 1: you know, talked, he talked over the weekend to Chris

204
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: Mortenson about some of the disparaging Goodell comments. He did

205
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: not give total details, but you give you get the

206
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: sense that the Raiders and Mark Davis knew, and you're

207
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: absolutely right about the Raiders. If I if I feel

208
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: that I was benefited by one story I worked on

209
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: last year was like spending weeks talking to guys like

210
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: Art Shell in old school Raiders. And it was Art

211
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: Shell who became the second, really the first UM African

212
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: American head coach in the modern era after Fritz Pollard.

213
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: Way back when UM Al Davis, you know, he refused

214
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: to play in Mobile, Alabama back in the early sixties

215
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: because of segregation. He hired Amy Trask, Tom Flores, Karl

216
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: Nasset is the first openly gay player on the Raiders.

217
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: The athletics set it perfectly of Al Davis. He respected

218
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 1: talent no matter how it was packaged, and so the

219
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 1: Raiders have been a different team then the rest of

220
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: the league on that front. And I think it's Mark

221
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: Davis is UM really essentially two decades long fascination with Gruden.

222
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: I mean he courted him for six years before hiring him,

223
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: and they talked about the fact that Mark Davis had

224
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 1: a favorite laundry mat in Tampa because he was down

225
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: there so often trying to get Grooden back into the

226
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: grip of the Raiders. I don't know what Mark Davis

227
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: is doing at a laundry mat to begin with, but

228
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at all the people in these emails, Lady,

229
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: I guess he's also the same guy that got like

230
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: eight dollar haircuts at Supercuts and drove around that pop

231
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: top van. He's a little different, that's fairy. He does

232
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: things um in the Mark Davis way. But I mean,

233
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 1: if you go through the laundry list of who was

234
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: ripped on by Gruden in these emails, I think it

235
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: just came to a point where there's literally no argument

236
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 1: for him to stay. Was there an argument after go ahead?

237
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: And now I was just gonna say, like you you're

238
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: mentioning um Mark Davis and like a decision he had

239
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: to make. There was no decision. This is two one

240
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: and and when you're seeing when you're seeing the gay

241
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: slurs used to describe ROGERI. Cadell the commissioner, and all

242
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: the uh anti feminist comments he was saying about various

243
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: figures getting opportunities, whether it's on coaching staffs, or on

244
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: the sidelines or um on the officiating ranks. I mean,

245
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: it was a rap. But by the time I got

246
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 1: to the third paragraph of that New York Times story

247
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: when we got off the plane from London, was like, oh, well, okay,

248
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 1: John Gruden's career is over and you know it's like,

249
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: first of all, Mark the I can't believe Belichick writes

250
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 1: a letter about John Gruden, of all people, and you

251
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: still can't get a letter back from Gruden from Belichick

252
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: after all the great things you sent him back in

253
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: the day. That's on my radar. But I'll say this too,

254
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: because Gruden, you know, his stripes were revealed and he

255
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 1: said over the weekend there isn't a blade of racism

256
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: minium um. These emails obviously say otherwise, not just racism,

257
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: but all other kind of repugnant thoughts that he should

258
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: have own better. Even if you have that inside you,

259
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: you have to be smarter. And it makes me think,

260
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: it makes me think there are a lot of coaches,

261
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: g MS, owners, scouts up and down the NFL ladder

262
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: on this morning being like, what did I send? What

263
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: did I send? What emails are out there that are

264
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: connected to me? Because John Gruden did not send that

265
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: from an NFL account. He sent that from a personal

266
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: account to his old buddy Bruce Allen, his old henchman

267
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: who was with Washington, and he was dumb enough to

268
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: be sending all sorts of things from the official Washington

269
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: account and Uh, that is just something that just to wonder,

270
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: what is there going to be more fallout from this?

271
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: And it wasn't a Gruten investigation. This is all connected

272
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,119
Speaker 1: to the Washington Football team investigation and all the misconduct

273
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: that was going on there behind the scenes under Daniel Snyder.

274
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: So uh, that is an element of this story too,

275
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: like the shock waves that come with this because again

276
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: Gruden greg towering figure in this league, and if he

277
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: could be taken out, uh and be exposed this way,

278
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: maybe there's other people too well, right, because you only

279
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: send those emails because like it's a normal thing to

280
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: do at the time. That's the thing people were like, well,

281
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: this was eleven years ago. First of all, the band

282
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: was in his late forties eleven years ago. Like when

283
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: this thing is like, well, you know he's he's grown

284
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: since them. It's like, this is a grown man. Let's

285
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: let's let's stop with the like this is eleven years ago.

286
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: That that's that's so different. But it's just a look,

287
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: it's not it's not a surprising thing. There's tons of

288
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: racist and homophobic and sexist people in all in every

289
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: in every business, especially the higher up you go, and

290
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: especially eleven years ago. Everyone, you know, people felt comfortable

291
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: expressing that it's like a boys club and and and

292
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: at that level, it's a rich it's a rich white

293
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: boys club. And so that's you could scrub all these

294
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: emails from different accounts and and that you would find it.

295
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: The fact that it's only out there because the owner

296
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: of the Washington football team was found to um be

297
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: responsible for a workplace uh that condoned and essentially supported

298
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: sexual harassment and saw all sorts of things, and even

299
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: even these emails where they're talking about sending pictures between

300
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: Alan and Gruden is part of that. The fact that

301
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: it's only coming out because of that is is really

302
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: wild because we haven't seen those emails. And Dan Snyder

303
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: we talked about on this podcast. It was a on

304
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: one hand, like a in a incredibly embarrassing moment for

305
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: him to be taken off the day to day operations

306
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: of Washington the football team. Videos on the other had

307
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: his wife is running the team, and that the last

308
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: year and a half since they hired Jason Wright has

309
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: basically been like a year and a half long press

310
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: release of like how we've changed as a team. As

311
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: recently as a couple of months ago. She you know,

312
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: his dance player's wife is on the Adam Schefter podcast

313
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: and it's basically doing pr about like how tough it

314
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: is on them, And you would just have to wonder,

315
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: like are more of these coming out? Because that was

316
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: the bigger That was the bigger story Gruden. Gruden needs

317
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: to be wiped out and everything, but that that was

318
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: like the bigger story. And it is fascinating that the

319
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: NFL is officially asked, you know, taking this moment of

320
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: the public paying attention to this story again and asked

321
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: for them to release the emails. And so we'll see

322
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: if that there's enough public pressure for the NFL to

323
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: consider any of this because there's a lot of people

324
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: like guessing who the sources are. I don't think you

325
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: can do that, and it's just like it's impossible. There's

326
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: I mean, another another big aspect to this story is

327
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: the targeted nature of it. I think we all agree

328
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: that what John Gruden did was absolute grounds for immedia

329
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: dismissal and he's gone. Um we all feel I mean,

330
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: we don't all know a lot of coaches personally, but

331
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: the coaching community um is a circle. Uh, No one's

332
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: fired for long Um, it is an old boys club,

333
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: although that's changing, you know, on minuscule amounts um. But

334
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: at this point I think that, like you'd have to

335
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: assume that if you heavily vetted all thirty two head coaches,

336
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: this is my guest that twenty plus would be in

337
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: serious hot water if not, if not more, I mean,

338
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: I think some of your younger coaches are coming up

339
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 1: through a different um prism in portal, but Gruden belongs

340
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: to a time period where that was completely different. And

341
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: on the on the Washington front, I mean the completely

342
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: separate to what grewed and said they went through six

343
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand emails. Um, you talk about a

344
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: group of you know, rich whites that essentially run things.

345
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: But there's another layer of it, and it's the ownership.

346
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: Because the report on Snyder was given to the league

347
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: and oral fashion, it was not written. This is a

348
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: league that did a two hundred forty three page written

349
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: report on Tom Brady using inflated football's when it comes

350
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 1: to the players and what they would call the coaches

351
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: and the players, and it was said way back when

352
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: that those are the cattle. We can get rid of them,

353
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: we can replace them. The reports on those people are

354
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: thorough and rich, but there's no written report on what

355
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: else was found in this Washington investigation. And I mean

356
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: there needs to be much more pushed for that because

357
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: we're talking about a level of ownership and leadership that

358
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: goes above the coaching level. Mark you return and right

359
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: on cue, a conspiracy is a foot maybe in the NFL.

360
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: Not to make light of the situation, but it is. Uh,

361
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: there are layers to this, and uh, it is going

362
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: to be interesting how it all turns out in terms of, yes,

363
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: what else can you get rid of coaches? You can't

364
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: get rid of owners because I think if you could,

365
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: well you can. Jerry Richardson will tell you you can,

366
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: but it takes a lot. He stepped down, you know.

367
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: I think if you could, then we would have different

368
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: ownership in Washington, or at least if they felt like

369
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: you could. Because honestly, think Greg that Jerry Richardson steps

370
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: down by choice there or because he doesn't have it.

371
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: He stepped down because he was um completely embarrassed in

372
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: his career, was in flames now in Washington, and that

373
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: he just felt like it was the you know, he

374
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: was pressured and he felt like was the right thing

375
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: to do. What I'm trying to say is Washington. There's

376
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: first of all, it in many moments where publicly in

377
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: Washington that you could have said that, but that they've

378
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: resisted the public pressure there, I mean before any of

379
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: this workplace stuff. But yes, I think there's probably been

380
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: pressure in various fashions, certainly publicly and through the media

381
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: on Washington to change ownership. But I would tend to

382
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: surmise like privately too, and it never happened. It's never

383
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: happened because there's there. It's a it gets very complicated.

384
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: That's that's in theory, a boss of the person you're

385
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: trying to push out, you know, they're they're the boss

386
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: of Roger Goodell. Right. The penalty for owners is you

387
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: hand it off to a spouse or a daughter or

388
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: son or some family member who can take over for you.

389
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: It's not actually new control of an owner of a

390
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: team for the most part. And now spinning back to

391
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: the Raiders side of things, in the short term, this

392
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: is the situation. Uh Rich Bisaccia takes over as the

393
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: interim head coach and that is a very tough gig

394
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders. I mean, how much things have changed. He's

395
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: assistant coach with Sachi has been around forever, just like

396
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: all of Gruden's guys. And um, two weeks ago, the

397
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: Raiders are three and oh and one of the big

398
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 1: stories in football, and the Raiders are a vibe in

399
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 1: that building. Now the vibe has changed around the Raiders.

400
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: And you just will see what happens. Is this a

401
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 1: team that now goes in the tank? Uh? Do they

402
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: kind of follow whatever path they were originally on. We're

403
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: gonna see what happens in the short term and in

404
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: the long term. And this is also this is something

405
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: we'll we'll find out as time goes along. But it's

406
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: almost unprecedented. Um, Gruden wasn't just the head coach. I

407
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: know Mike Mayock as a general manager, but this was

408
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: Gruden's team. He was the face of the Las Vegas Raiders.

409
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: He was the face on the sideline. He was the boss.

410
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: He had a major hand in the personnel side of things,

411
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: might have maybe even above Mayock most likely. Yes. And

412
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, over one weekend, you pull that

413
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: guy out and he heads for the curb. And as

414
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 1: an organization, it's like, oh boy, now it I mean

415
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: this is maybe not an episode of now What on

416
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: the Round the NFL podcast, but that is exactly what

417
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: the Raiders are probably wondering right now, what do we

418
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: do next? Because the entire organization in a lot of

419
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: ways was John Gruden and now he gone, that's a

420
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: huge story too, right, Who's even they at this point?

421
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: They is the team for the rest of the season.

422
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: Who was twenty five d v o A Through five

423
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: weeks it was one a couple of close games, was

424
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: pretty poor the last couple of weeks. You know, it

425
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 1: has some things to like about it as a quarterback

426
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: plane really well, but has a quarterback plane really well

427
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: in the system that John grun ran that you know,

428
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: he was with him for four years. And if there

429
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: was one positive thing about this John Gruden's second tenure,

430
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: I think he called plays pretty well and the players

431
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: that were there in his offensive system mostly car improved.

432
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: But it's it's not a good team on paper, you know,

433
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: it's it's probably a mediocre or or less than that.

434
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: I know they lost less two games in d v A.

435
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: G v o A means everything to a lot of people,

436
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: but I think the Raiders doesn't mean everything. Like an

437
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: underlying thing that they were a competitive but pretty average team.

438
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,239
Speaker 1: You watch that team, I feel like cars playing at

439
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: a top five or six level, and he's carrying a

440
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: terrible offensive line. Uh, and they give up a lot

441
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: of big plays, certainly defensively. Still even if they're like

442
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: a little better. It's it's just crazy because Mayock has

443
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,479
Speaker 1: to assume he's not going to be there next year.

444
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,719
Speaker 1: Of course he'll he'll try to do everything he can

445
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: to make it um, but it's gonna probably be a

446
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: new coach that Mark Davis hired. A new coach isn't

447
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: gonna want that GM and it's just not how things

448
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: work generally. You you could almost assume that everyone associated

449
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: with this Raiders coaching staff is not going to be

450
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: there next year, and that Derek Carr, who's under contract

451
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: for very cheap, that'll be that'll be up to the

452
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: next coach. Well, and and also their team president left

453
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: and I know that kind of stuff flies by like

454
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: our radartists some degree, but he essentially Mark Bada, the

455
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: team president, left under rather you know, serious surprising too,

456
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: And people were chattering wrote like what is going on

457
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: with the Raiders that all these executives are leaving in

458
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: like a noble circumstance. It leaves Mark Davis to have

459
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: to rebuild, you know, the vision of the team from scratch.

460
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that's the first owner I'd picked to

461
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: do that. Um, his vision was John Gruden and John

462
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: Gruden to your point, Dan running the entire organization with

463
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: you know, who would have ever put money on Mike

464
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: Mayock outlasting John Gruden. It took something like this, and

465
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: the Raiders are in free fault because it's administrative side

466
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: and coaching football side that they've got to dig their

467
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: way out of. Ricky A. I just think there's a

468
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: couple of Obviously, all of this is so important. One

469
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: this story drops on right before Monday Night Football, which

470
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 1: something Gruden was heavily involved in, which is interesting too.

471
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 1: Yesterday was National coming Out Day and so to think

472
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: of some of his players where we have the first

473
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: openly gay player on this team, uh, to kind of

474
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: see this stuff, not to mention the black players on

475
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: this team and all, you know, Roger Goodell has told

476
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: stories about defending his gay brother from bullies in the past,

477
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 1: and there was there was name calling, and that There's

478
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: so much that goes into this that is so crazy.

479
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: But one thing that I've seen that are is so

480
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: interesting to me is there was reports that the league

481
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: brought this to you know, Mark Davis on Friday, and

482
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: he still showed up, and he still coached Sunday, and

483
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: then Gruden resigns on Monday. And and as much as

484
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: I want to say like, yes, this team is so

485
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: forward and so great, I do find it interesting as

486
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: how Gruden resigned and how he even coached on Sunday,

487
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: and I just I just find that very peculiar. I

488
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: wonder because Gruden now that we have the benefit of

489
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: a benefit of hindsight. Um, Gruden alluded to the Roger

490
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: Goodell thing, which seemed kind of random at the time.

491
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: Greg on the way of the airport yesterday even kind

492
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: of said that was random that he brings up Roger Goodell,

493
00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: as if to say, hey, listen, it wasn't just d Smith.

494
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: I was getting it. Well, that was all calculated, as

495
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 1: it turns out, because he knew this was on its

496
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: way out. I wonder if he thought, Okay, I'm probably

497
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 1: gonna killed for this Goodell thing too. But I heard

498
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: the reports out that the League is not gonna fire

499
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: me as of Monday, morning was being reported or it

500
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 1: was late Sunday night that he was probably gonna be okay. Um,

501
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: the League office was probably not gonna do anything serious

502
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: in terms of suspension. I wonder if they thought, oh,

503
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: we could handle this fire and completely misunderstood how how

504
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: this league going to come off? Right? The League wanted

505
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: Mark Davis to do it for them, um, which it

506
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: makes sense on some level, but they just wanted him

507
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: to take care of it. And it feels like Mark

508
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: Davis obviously was surprised by this, and you know, he

509
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: took a couple of days, and I think there's also

510
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: legal ramifications of whether he you know, contract ramifications of

511
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: whether he's resigning or whether he's fired and whether it's

512
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: for cause and all this sort of stuff. And and yeah,

513
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: they probably gave him the weekend basically the New York

514
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: Times or something, and then and then the rest of

515
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: it comes out, and then they forced his hand. It's crazy.

516
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: On the brighter side, though, Mark will win some sandwiches,

517
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 1: So I mean that's yeah, let's let's wait. Put let's

518
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: the copinion that we're gonna close the show talking about

519
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: that Ricky and as a as a gay woman and

520
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: as anyone else that has Um was really taken aback

521
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: and insulted or hurt by what was in that email.

522
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: I guess you could take. You know, they let him

523
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: coach on Sunday. Now they're getting heat for that and

524
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: the team though showed they lost anyway with Grooden. So

525
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: that's one last note connected to that. All right, Well,

526
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: the spice Rack would say that they're gonna win this week,

527
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: that when coaches get disgraced and fired that the team

528
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: always responds. According to the spice Rack College Football NFL,

529
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: he believes that the fighting blasacchi Is are gonna go

530
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: to Denver and really give a great effort. That almost happens.

531
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the case with with this Grooden

532
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: situation is a little different than firing out and firing

533
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: a tired you know one in two, well Um non

534
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: creative coach that players don't relate to. Gruden had supporters

535
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: in that. And that's also you're telling half the story. Greg,

536
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: I won't know this says specifically the second part of that.

537
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: I know that he would have said to pick against

538
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: the Raiders Sunday, and now he would have said go

539
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: with the Raiders. This week So yeah, Greg shared it

540
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: with me into the weekend that when there's heat around

541
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: a team on a sensitive subject, spice rack also has

542
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: a separate rule. You gotta go against that team when

543
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: there's heat in the locker room potentially a hot button topic.

544
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: He was right about that, And now you have to

545
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: trust the spice Rack if you're a desert person, because

546
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: the Raiders are gonna be fired up under Rich Bisaccia.

547
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: Let's hit Monday Night football right after this. Jackson takes

548
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: the snap looking over the middle pumps. Once grows hot trauma,

549
00:28:53,280 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: the Raiders have wandered it over time. No, Glamar Jackson

550
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: throwing in spirals better talking than talking about John Rudin

551
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: disgracing himself and his family, including Doo Scrudin who's still

552
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: on the staff. Ravens wint On Ravens and overtime, they

553
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: were down three in this game, it was over. They

554
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: were down twenty nine in the fourth quarter. It was over.

555
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: Only it wasn't over because Lamar Jackson had the greatest

556
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: passing day of his life. He went thirty seven or

557
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: forty three four two yards and four touchdowns and marched

558
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: the team back with three touchdowns UH sixteen points, two

559
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the fourth quarter, and then the walk off

560
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: UH touchdown on the first possession of overtime and Mark

561
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: this game was Barker's first of all, let's we're gonna

562
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: get to the cult because that's a stomach bunch of loss.

563
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: It's one of those stomach punch losses. And Frank Reiks

564
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: a really good coach and a good motivator, and he's

565
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: got that locker room tight. But like some losses, you

566
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: don't bounce back from, even if you're in the a

567
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: f C. South, And I just wonder how the team

568
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: reacts to that to fall to one and four. But

569
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: on the raven side of things, just the comeback, the

570
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: way it unfurled in the fourth quarter, like just like

571
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: the the fact that they throw a touchdown pass UH

572
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: two Mark Andrews, then a two point conversion to Mark Andrews,

573
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: then another touchdown past to Mark Andrews, and then another

574
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: two point conversion to Mark Andrews, and then get the

575
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: ball on the coin toss, and and the Colts came

576
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: and put up a resistance. It just it was a

577
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: done deal once Jackson got rolling. And you can't pay

578
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: a better compliment to him then he was completely unstoppable

579
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: when the game was hanging in the balance. Yeah, and

580
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: you know, Hardball called it one of the greatest performances

581
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: he's ever witnessed. Um. And I don't think that's hyperbole

582
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: on on any level. And I was watching this, um,

583
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: you know, as a Browns fan at some point with

584
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: the Ravens, Um, you just have to give it to

585
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: them for for who they are. To me, they feel,

586
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: uh like a team of destiny. And I think it's

587
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: because they're led by a man of destiny and Lamar Jackson.

588
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: And you look at their week to win over the Chiefs, Um,

589
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: you look at the Justin Tucker field goal against the Lions,

590
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: and you look at what happened lastly, the game that

591
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: seemed completely out of hand. Um, the Ravens. Really, I

592
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: think the story would have been had that just kind

593
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: of finished in a different way, that the Ravens. Ravens

594
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: are finally crumbling around some of their injury issues and stuff. Um.

595
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: But instead Lamar Jackson And I think there was a

596
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: part of me and I don't know if I'm sure

597
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: you felt it a little bit that once they got

598
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: going for me, I've seen too many of these um

599
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: primetime games go completely out of whack and turn into

600
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: a star vehicle for someone like Lamar Jackson. I was

601
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: like this, they're winning this game, and I did not

602
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: say that. You know, like, with two minutes to go,

603
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: you could just feel the tide turning. And the Ravens

604
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: are a team that when they're clicking, they're Mark Andrews. There,

605
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: their Hollywood Browns, their star players are just simply a

606
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: higher class than a team like the Cults. And they

607
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: turned it on and to me, what happened, like Kolias

608
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: Campbell Um, you know, essentially change that game. That guy

609
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: is thirty five years old, six ft eight and a

610
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: complete game changer and a perfect signing that showed you

611
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: who the Ravens are. I look at this team and

612
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: I just say, look at I realized they are not

613
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: potentially as talented as the Chiefs. On some level, um,

614
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: they might not be as um, you know, nouveau reach

615
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: as the Chargers are. At this point, everyone's in love

616
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: with Brandon Stalely. I told you that in January I

617
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: leave for three weeks. Everyone's got a huge man crush

618
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: on him. That's a whole different story. But Lamar Jackson

619
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: to me, it just I was like, what does this

620
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: remind me of? And I know that we draw this

621
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: comparison almost to a tired extent, but it was sitting

622
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: in my living room, um in the nineties as a

623
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: high school in the college person, watching Michael Jordan's get

624
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: into a billion fixes and every single time you're like,

625
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: you know this is going down to the last minute.

626
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: You know that he is going to take care of

627
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: whatever adversities come his way. And Lamar Jackson talked about

628
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: entering into a state of total calm in that game

629
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: that the players around and believe it that Harbaugh basically,

630
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: you know, two weeks in a row is saying we're

631
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: gonna go for everything, and it's because of this one player.

632
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: And he came into the league completely doubted, and I

633
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: think it's a perfect season for him to cap, you know,

634
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: this entire thing with a raven's journey that no one's

635
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: ever expected this season. I mean they've been even weeks

636
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: ago that he's been figured out, and you know, you

637
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: look at the running backs. They ran for like twenty

638
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: five yards last night. Had we known that four weeks ago,

639
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: you could have projected a Ravens team that just was

640
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: gonna crumble in on itself, but you cannot when you

641
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: have this talent inside this locker room and on the field.

642
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is everything the Ravens could have hoped and

643
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: there's literally no ceiling for where they could wind up

644
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: as a team. They're they're not a perfect team, Like

645
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 1: we shouldn't have said that they're crumbling if they had

646
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: lost this game to the cause, and we shouldn't say

647
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: there a perfect are you know, a fixed complete team

648
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: just because they keep scraping out these wins. They remind

649
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: me the Oh three Patriot and Lamar starting to remind

650
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: me of early career Brady, where every every game comes

651
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: down to this insane ending. Everyone thinks they're lucky, and

652
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: everyone can't, you know, believe quite that they managed to

653
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: lose the game and they can't figure out how and why,

654
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 1: and you know the reasons, the quarterback usually and the

655
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: coaching because of these margins and they make their own luck.

656
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: And it's almost like the Ravens have went into this

657
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: season Greg Roman and Lamar and they went through every

658
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: checklist of criticism that Lamar had as a pastor, and

659
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: they're like our goal early in this season is just

660
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 1: gonna be to shut everyone up about that, Like we

661
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: can't play from behind. Okay, we've done that three times now.

662
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: Uh two from huge margins again, you know on in

663
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: in primetime. Uh, Lamar can't win from the pocket. Like

664
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: last night, those weren't easy throws to go thirty seven

665
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: for forty four. Those were a lot of tight window throws.

666
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: Almost all of them were from the pocket. Even like

667
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: the winner too, Marky's Brown, Like that's kind of a

668
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: typical throw in that scenario where it's like it had

669
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: to be exactly on point. It was on point, and

670
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 1: then it was like, well he's He's only really can

671
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: throw that well. Because they're so good in the run

672
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: sets it up. Their running game is still stunk this

673
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: year other than Lamar Lamar's eighth in the league and rushing,

674
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: but they're running. They haven't done anything running the ball.

675
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: They're one of the past heaviest teams in the NFL,

676
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 1: and they're they're great on offense, so it's like they've

677
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: gone through every checklist. Lamar is doing that individually. The

678
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: rest of the team needs to catch up and then

679
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: they could be really special. And you know, the Yeah,

680
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: the Brady parallels, we'll see. We'll see about that, because

681
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: Brady came out of Gate winning big games when it

682
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: mattered most. And they're obviously very different physically because for

683
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: his since Lamar Jackson accounted for for four of the

684
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: five three net yards, just being like, what the hell

685
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: happened here? Thought that no one thought that Patriots team

686
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: was any good until they actually won the Super Bowl

687
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: and I he's been Let's see, we're talking LAMARX. That's

688
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: what this is about. Like, he's such a unique player

689
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: in the history of the league, the recent history of

690
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: the league, because he came in number thirty two overall,

691
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,919
Speaker 1: um the fifth of the quarterbacks drafted in that first round.

692
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: I believe that was the Mayfield, Donald Rosen, Josh Allen draft,

693
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: and uh, he takes the league by storm in the

694
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: year two wins the m v P. Um has these

695
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: disappointing January outcomes that have cast a lot of doubt

696
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 1: on his ability to be a big time player. But

697
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: then you have games like last that game, the primetime

698
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: game against Cleveland last year, and now this game where

699
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: like when the lights are on and everyone's watching, he

700
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: plays at his best. So it's just kind of it's

701
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: strange to put that this version of Jackson who's unreal

702
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: when everyone's paying attention to the performances we've seen in

703
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: January where he and the Baltimore offense have been so vulnerable.

704
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 1: So there are demons the slay for Jackson that he

705
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: won't get a chance to do until January. But I

706
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,479
Speaker 1: don't think there's any question, barring injury, that they're gonna

707
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: be there, and maybe as the number one seed in

708
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: the a f C as high as that, or as

709
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: the as the defending champion um of the a f

710
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 1: C North or the new a f C North Chapanion,

711
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: because that's the ceiling he brings to the team. And

712
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: I thought that was just it's just a reminder of

713
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: his greatness, which is kind of unique in our league. Yeah,

714
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,959
Speaker 1: I mean when you think of the Ravens, like there's

715
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 1: this innate trust if you've been watching their consistency since

716
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: they came into the league way back when, and I

717
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: just look at this team and you know, look at

718
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: its weeks. We're entering week six. A lot can change,

719
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: everything can change. But who couldn't the Ravens beat in

720
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: the a f C. And why wouldn't we look at

721
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: them and say that there is mentally they're built mentally, coach,

722
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: the quarterback are are annoyed. We haven't mentioned them yet

723
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: as like fine built. But the Bills, the Bills, I mean,

724
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: the Bills are number one of the power ranks or

725
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: I love the Bills. But you can't tell me that

726
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: the Ravens can't beat the Bills in Orchard Park in

727
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: a big spot, because I could see it. They could

728
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: beat anyone. I mean they You know what Peyton Manning

729
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: was dogged for years about like not a playoff winning quarterback.

730
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: He's shiny, He's a regular season think piece. We love him.

731
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: But Lamar Jackson simply will knock down those bowling pins

732
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: at some point because he didn't lose those games for

733
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: him on his own. That said, you look at that

734
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: Chargers game from a couple of years ago. He got

735
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,879
Speaker 1: totally unplugged. So the Greg Roman Mark Jackson, Yeah, they're

736
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 1: gonna have to find a way to come up rookie quarterback.

737
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: We're seeing this year what it's like for most rookie

738
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: quarterbacks who step into the line. But it's not just

739
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: last year that he's saying that's the thing that's a

740
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: that's a fair critique his January performance that he's going

741
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 1: to have to deal with. But to Mark's point, yeah,

742
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, nobody says that anymore, but for years that

743
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 1: dog to him, five or six seasons before he finally

744
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: got rolling the game winning drive. Though to me, it

745
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: was amazing because it wasn't spectacular. It was just him

746
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: in the pocket picking out the right mismatch every play,

747
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, second or third read very often, it was

748
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: all from the pocket. It wasn't There wasn't a lot

749
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: of spectacular plays on that specific drive. Like Mark Andrews is.

750
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: You know, he he's been dogged. I mean, talk about

751
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: not showing up in the playoffs. Mark Andrews in the

752
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,320
Speaker 1: playoffs turns into John Smith on the Patriots. That's what

753
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews has been in the playoffs. And he was

754
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: making incredible catches last night. Marcus Brown is on pace

755
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: and I hate this because of the seventeen games, so

756
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: I don't even know what to say on pace. Let's

757
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 1: pretend that season was still sixteen games. Marcus Brown's on

758
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: pace for almost fifteen hundred yards and Mark Andrews on

759
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: pace for about That's the type of passing game. That's

760
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: the thing that's crazy is that they're just like a

761
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: totally different take out those three drops by m by

762
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: Brown two weeks ago. And he has been outstanding this year.

763
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: He's been everything they ever wanted him to be. Uh,

764
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: he's really he's really made the leap and you know

765
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball that, yes, Indy

766
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: could still bounce back and if you want to, if

767
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: you want to try to be positive, he said, Okay,

768
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: Carson wentz Man, I thought he played well in this game. Uh,

769
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: they moved the ball. They really dominated this game a

770
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,919
Speaker 1: lot of ways. Uh, for the better part of three

771
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: plus quarters. But this is one of those losses that

772
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: you know in any diehard fan, um knows what I'm

773
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 1: talking about when I say this, when your team really

774
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: really blows one and it ruined your day or your night.

775
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: You go to bed and you wake up in the

776
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: morning and then like within seconds, you remember what happened

777
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: and it's like getting punched in the stomach. Again. That's

778
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: every Colts fan, uh, in this country and beyond, because

779
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,919
Speaker 1: I mean, given the Spotlight game, the Island game, given

780
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: what it meant to get if they got to two

781
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: and three what it could have meant for their season, Uh,

782
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: to let it all slip away, And it reminded me

783
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 1: Greg you know. Yeah, all due credit to everyone on

784
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 1: the Baltimore offense on that last possession and overtime, but

785
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: that was like super Bow fifty one. If if they

786
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: call the wrong heads or tails, and I think it

787
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: was Wentz that called heads, goes tails, it's over once

788
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: once Lamar got the ball to start. That defense was

789
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: a mix of being gassed and not being coached up

790
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 1: by Matt Eberflus because they had no way to stop

791
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 1: the Ravens on that last possession. What happened, by the way,

792
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 1: on that coin toss, I'm mean, I you know, there

793
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: was no like LSD inside my body or anything. But

794
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: I swear I heard the cults Carson Wentz call heads

795
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: and it was heads, and then Baltimore got the ball

796
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,240
Speaker 1: and I thought he said heads in it landed tales.

797
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: Then I was twats about it too, that people were

798
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: saying that like it was. I got a bunch of

799
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: tweets about it, like you know, but I'll go back

800
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:24,919
Speaker 1: and watch that, Like the cults probably would have brought

801
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: this up, like you think they might have said they

802
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: might have they beat guys. They have one thing to

803
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: add about Tonight's lots go watch it again. Though it's

804
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: something it was like a trick of sound, maybe like

805
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: it was you actually the Ravens guys say, then we

806
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: got heads or I don't even know. I'm not gonna Yeah,

807
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: they're they're fine. I mean, I don't know what the

808
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: point it was. Fine. The Cults are fine, fine, trust me,

809
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: one and four. They're just five years for their organization.

810
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:59,280
Speaker 1: They ain't fine now. Their their defense is is pretty mediocre.

811
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: Teams do change. That's one thing the Ravens have to

812
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: feel great about because I think as much as any

813
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 1: team other than the Patriots and the Seahawks, they are

814
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: usually better after Thanksgiving when it matters, that's when the

815
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: season starts, like they usually improve the Ravens. They usually

816
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: figure out their weaknesses. I think the Cults could too.

817
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,479
Speaker 1: But it's like, what's the point of the a f C. South.

818
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,439
Speaker 1: It's just like as as Mark would say, proved me wrong.

819
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: But they just feel like whoever's gonna win that division

820
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 1: is gonna be cannon fodder. H in January and went

821
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 1: went I'm glad people got to see that all the

822
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: Wentz you know, critique this year, like he's been okay

823
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 1: Reich's he feels more comfortable with the Reich Reich was

824
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 1: in his bag, like uh, play calling last night. They

825
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: just don't have a lot of juice, especially defensively. I mean,

826
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 1: if you knew that Wentz was gonna throw for four

827
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: hundred and two yards with two touchdowns and have the

828
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: first three quarters that he did, and that that that

829
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 1: aspect of the story would essentially be buried like it

830
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: was hidden inside the Warren Commission, Um, you'd wonder what

831
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: was happening in the fourth Mark Mark trope is like

832
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: if you knew before the game that it would be

833
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 1: for but has that anyone ever like brought it up

834
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 1: to you before the game and be like, hey, um,

835
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz will have four hundred yards in this game,

836
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: So what do you think is going to happen? Is

837
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: anyone Well? I don't have those I don't have those

838
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: type of forward thinking conversations with people. But if you

839
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 1: want to make a case for the Cults, we knew

840
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: their early schedule was tough. You now get the Texans,

841
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: a forty niners team that feels like you could deal

842
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: with them, the Titans, the Jets, and the jack So

843
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,359
Speaker 1: you can climb back in, but I just don't buy them.

844
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 1: Though I don't buy I buy them as like a

845
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 1: seven win team, though I'm kind of it doesn't matter,

846
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like it doesn't matter. I mean,

847
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 1: this was this would have went a long way into

848
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,760
Speaker 1: um really spicing up the division race. And the Titans

849
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 1: are so mediocre that it might still be okay and

850
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 1: they'll be battling it out the two of these teams

851
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: in December in terms of supremacy of the South. But

852
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: you know these are Hammond Aggers when you look at

853
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: the greater picture of the NFL. But sorry, can I

854
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: tell you one thing that I honestly affected me emotionally

855
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: because this person um feels like every eighth guy friend

856
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: I had growing up, and he's so um nerdy and

857
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: lovable and I want to just give him a big hug.

858
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: Is Rodrigo Blanket Ship playing the Goat. He's clearly hurt

859
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: in that game. Um, Rodrigo Blanket Ship if you look

860
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: him up on Instagram has Rodrigo the Collector, and he's

861
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 1: like a huge Lego head um and sci fi nerd,

862
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: and he does these Instagram live like hour and a

863
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: half long um chats with fans where he'll just sit

864
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: at his table and normal cloth. He looks like he

865
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: lives in a totally normal house and Carmel, Indiana with

866
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 1: his wife, and he just does like nerdy lego stuff

867
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: and it's something about him on a football field. We

868
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: all get it. He doesn't. He looks a little atypical

869
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: with the glasses and everything else, and he weighs about

870
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: a hundred and eight pounds. But for him to play

871
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 1: the goat um hurt me. Remember it like that? If

872
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: don't you remember our Christmas special last December when we

873
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: dug up his old blog when he was in high

874
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: school in college where he's just burying his teammates h

875
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: for down. Yeah, we hadn't. Well, maybe he's maybe he's

876
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 1: much more, you know, sinister. On the surface, he looks

877
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: cute and whatever this injury he is. He's adorable whatever

878
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: this injury is. And I don't know six one, he's

879
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 1: a big dude. What do we say the injury was

880
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 1: clay As Campbell. But yeah, so like what are we

881
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 1: setting up for a forty nine yard field goal with

882
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 1: a kick or the bum hit like that was a

883
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: conservative moment. I remember that. Well, they ran for the

884
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: first down, uh with a sneak or they tried to sneak,

885
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: and then they got the third and one, and then

886
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: they ran a three times three times to set up

887
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: that field goal, including on including on third and eight.

888
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: That was some. That was some Kevin Stefanski running on

889
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 1: third and long. No, sorry, buddy, on Sunday, when you're

890
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: in when you're in the forties, don't be running on

891
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: third and eight. That's all I'm saying. Now. I feel

892
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: like he got he had like his brain stolen from him,

893
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: because that was a very anti Stefanski thing, and that

894
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: brought us Dan to miss kicks for the first time

895
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: in an NFL week since Venice. All Ricky's comment that, um,

896
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:03,800
Speaker 1: the Kicker Club maybe needs to be I guess it

897
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 1: would be sort of shut down. You put one of

898
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: those huge balloon things over the house or over the

899
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:12,320
Speaker 1: club to kind of yeah, just the bugs and evil spirits.

900
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: It's the This week, it was the Kicker Club. It

901
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: was just you know, it is what it is. Well,

902
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: we'll be better, but you know my and it was

903
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 1: an all time record for missed extra point missed extra points. Again,

904
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: I had this right, you know, just like Wes had

905
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 1: it right about past interference, and uh, Mark, you had

906
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,280
Speaker 1: it right that Brennan Staley is a god. And Greg

907
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: had something right that doesn't pop in my head right now,

908
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: but throw it out there, Greg as an example of

909
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 1: you being right. Lamar Jackson less, Lamar Jackson. He loves Lamar. Um.

910
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 1: Come on, let's move these p T s back to

911
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 1: where they were. This is ridiculous. But we're missing, they

912
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: would say, is the point that exactly does it enrich

913
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: the game to you? Do they make? I was always

914
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 1: for eliminating the play. H That was what Bill Belichick

915
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 1: was for back in the old days, either making it

916
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: longer or eliminating down to we're down to p A

917
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: T conversion. And meanwhile, as we saw, especially if you

918
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: have Mark Andrews on your team, but uh, two point

919
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: conversions have never been easier in our league. I think

920
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: it's in the range of like si so not sixty nine.

921
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: And it's like, oh, that makes the game better, and

922
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: now just go for two all the time. Well, I

923
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe you do the thing. And Matt money

924
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 1: Smith brought it up today, Maybe you do the thing

925
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: where you just get rid of the p at. We

926
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:37,280
Speaker 1: do Power Rankings every Tuesday, three pm Eastern neon Pacific

927
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: on NFL. Still pronouncing your name incorrectly though I noticed,

928
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: and maybe on purpose at this point hands we did.

929
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: We had a we had a conversation about that on

930
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: the show today on Power Rankings on NFL Network three

931
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,879
Speaker 1: that um, no, that just make it. Uh, just make

932
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: it a six point score and um and then you

933
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: get a chance to go for two and that's it.

934
00:47:58,280 --> 00:47:59,800
Speaker 1: I think what he said actually is you make it

935
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: a seven. I sat on our show three years ago

936
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 1: here when we have this time now, you were all like, oh,

937
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,399
Speaker 1: make extra points hard, push it back if you're gonna

938
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 1: do it, or eliminate it. Yeah, you make it seven

939
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 1: and you either yeah, you either keep it or you

940
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 1: go for two and you make it and lose one.

941
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 1: And if you make it to say, but the idea

942
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 1: that a coach would look at a scoreboard, especially these

943
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 1: older guys and take a point off the scoreboard, it's

944
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: just they would never do that. The extra point used

945
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: to be when you get up and get a beer

946
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: or you'd go urinate. If you're someone that does that,

947
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: that's all of us um that you don't even look

948
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,240
Speaker 1: at the extra point and now it's like anxiety written

949
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: and you must sit there and stare at what chaos

950
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: is to come. Yeah, can you flip off Mark saying

951
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 1: that the whole yurinate, that's all of us. I really

952
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 1: like that most Maybe you maybe you did overdid it

953
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 1: during the snack time, the food time, of the tell

954
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 1: of the telecast viewing experience and you need a longer

955
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 1: trip to the bathroom. Do you want to elaborate on that, Mark, No,

956
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 1: I mean I think it's a universal, um human thing

957
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 1: that we all do. But like you would, you wouldn't

958
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 1: get up with Lamar Jackson on the ten yard line

959
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: extra point. Back in the nineties, it was like see

960
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 1: you later, extra point. But I mean back in you

961
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: know when the if we've got to go like history,

962
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: let's back when it was created, it was like the

963
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 1: extra point, you know, percentage was probably like forty is

964
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: like most of them, you know, you know they have

965
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: to come off off their you know, construction workers shift

966
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: and they're just like kicking it into the line of

967
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 1: scrim to your point. Grad in youth football and you

968
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:28,399
Speaker 1: know that I played Pop Warner back then. You would

969
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 1: you would run a one point play. It would just

970
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 1: be a play. But if you had someone who was

971
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 1: like nine or ten on your team that could kick

972
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 1: an extra point, that was worth two because it was

973
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: like no human can do that at that age. I

974
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: now combine all the Mark Sessler pre NFL life experiences

975
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 1: into one event. So he was playing Pop Warner in Surrey, uh, England,

976
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,919
Speaker 1: and the games were played on the grounds of Camp

977
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: Happiness on the banks of the Colorado River, the factual jungle.

978
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 1: You've totally missed, missing the point there, all right, Thursday

979
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: Night Football, it's moved to six, not Camp Happiness. What

980
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: was it again? I think that was wilderness there is.

981
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: I worked at a place called Camp Jewel up in

982
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 1: the Berkshire Foothills. That you've transformed into camp. I don't

983
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: think any place can assume that that's what they meant

984
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: calling themselves. And then the other new thing. Not that

985
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 1: happens a lot. And by the way, I love having

986
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 1: you Backmark, Not that it happens a lot, but sometimes

987
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 1: it will be at a social gathering and Ceciler will

988
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: be there, and then my buddy Bob from the Throwback podcast,

989
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 1: he'll be there and his wonderful wife, Heather, who I love,

990
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: will be there. And she also grew up in Connecticut

991
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: and also went to Camp Jewel and her friends went

992
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 1: to Camp Jewel. And then it's just like, where's Mark

993
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 1: and Heather. It's like, oh, they've been talking about Camp

994
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 1: Jewel for three hours and they're texting people they haven't

995
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 1: seen in twenty seven years. No, she actually she did

996
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: um an incredible bit of gum shoe work. Um. She

997
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 1: found she was friends with the sister of one of

998
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 1: the most pivotal early life girlfriends that I ever had.

999
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 1: So as I was talking to Heather about Camp Happiness,

1000
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 1: which is not the name of it, um, we were

1001
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: we found it. We had sim are friends and it

1002
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 1: was this GF from like the early nineties. It was

1003
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: a shocking bit of news. So Heather is a huge

1004
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:10,359
Speaker 1: ally on that front. It would have been it would

1005
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 1: have been cool. Well if we were in London, if

1006
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 1: all the people, all the friends and family you made

1007
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 1: in Surrey like came up and told us, you know,

1008
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:20,799
Speaker 1: they missed you and stuff like that was too There

1009
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,839
Speaker 1: was no end of the friendships. I missed you so much.

1010
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 1: All right, We got Thursday night football coming up, right

1011
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: after this, all right, here we go. Hit it. Prianka.

1012
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,320
Speaker 1: There she is, Preaka and I know you're something in

1013
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 1: that said. Hey, Yes, Thursday Night football begins with the

1014
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneer traveling to Philadelphia to face the Eagles.

1015
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:45,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, is it just news the Eagle? I

1016
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: feel like the Eagles play a big time team almost

1017
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,320
Speaker 1: every week. Tough scater early on the teams. But the

1018
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,800
Speaker 1: Bucks four and one. The Bucks are doing what we

1019
00:51:54,880 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 1: expected the Bucks to do. And my favorite stat the

1020
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: two thousand one was on the plane. We had a

1021
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:08,240
Speaker 1: ten hour flight from Heathrow to l a X yesterday

1022
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: and um, that's a long time. That's a very long flight. Uh.

1023
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: And we and I just cranked out for six and

1024
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 1: a half hours. Power rankings words I read like the

1025
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 1: entire internet, uh in my preparation, uh Ford and the

1026
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:28,800
Speaker 1: stat that that I loved the most, as as follows

1027
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 1: from a gentleman, hang on, I'm finding it. Greg Allman

1028
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 1: of the Athletic formerly of the Tampa Bay Times, in

1029
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 1: his right up on the game Sunday marked the sixth

1030
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 1: time in twenty five games with Tom Brady that the

1031
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: Buccaneers have scored forty four points or more. The Bucks

1032
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 1: had scored forty four points in just just six times

1033
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 1: in their forty four season before tom Brady's arrival last year. Oh,

1034
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 1: by the way, tom Brady is forty four years old.

1035
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:10,359
Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's mystical mark what Tom Brady has

1036
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:13,360
Speaker 1: done in Tampa Bay. But that's stats. Six times in

1037
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:17,439
Speaker 1: twenty five games forty four points. The previous forty four years,

1038
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 1: the Bucks have done it six times. That's a super

1039
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 1: Bowl team in there, and some good playoff teams, some

1040
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 1: bad teams too, but that is bonkers. Yeah, I mean,

1041
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: we talked about forty on the RAG a year ago

1042
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 1: and that became essentially true. But it's like, you don't

1043
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: trust teams necessarily to carry over who they are on

1044
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 1: offense from year to year, but you do with Tom

1045
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 1: Brady in this whole situation. M Now they get the Eagles.

1046
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 1: They had a couple of down ish weeks offensively. Uh,

1047
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 1: that had a little bit of you know, people, I

1048
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 1: mean some concern. You know, you only put up nineteen

1049
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 1: in Foxborough and and you lose that game. Convinced they're

1050
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 1: just they're just ridiculous. We've seen what this Eagles defense

1051
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 1: which was very frisky last week, played great. Um really

1052
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 1: won that game for them against Sam Donald. And but

1053
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:04,400
Speaker 1: we've seen what they do against the best offenses in

1054
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 1: the league. Like most defenses, they just they get run over,

1055
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 1: they get they lay down. I mean the Chiefs scored

1056
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 1: a touchdown in every possession but one against them, and

1057
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys went walked them up and down the field.

1058
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 1: And Tampa is you know, every there's every reason to

1059
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: believe that they'll be able to pinpoint mismatches. And so

1060
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 1: then you're asking Jalen Hurts to try to keep up.

1061
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 1: I want him to play a little more hurry up.

1062
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 1: He that is best in that I still hear that,

1063
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: like Nick Saban thing that Peyton Manning talked, you know

1064
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 1: that he said in the Manning cast of like why

1065
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: doesn't every team play hurry up like all the time,

1066
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 1: because it really it really sucks for defenses. And when

1067
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts plays hurry up, there are a lot to

1068
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 1: deal with. They are like the one team in the

1069
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 1: league though, where it just feels like they pass so

1070
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 1: much even though they're so good at running that it

1071
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 1: blows my mind a little bit. But this is a

1072
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 1: matchup where the Bucks because they're so good stopping the run.

1073
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,919
Speaker 1: It's just like a pass funnel. And then most most

1074
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 1: teams don't even try a run against them. I'd like

1075
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: to see them try, though that The Eagles are the

1076
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 1: number two team in the league in terms of passing

1077
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:08,400
Speaker 1: in neutral situations. The Chiefs are the only teams that

1078
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 1: passed more and yet to their fifth in the league

1079
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:12,839
Speaker 1: and yards per carry. They have a good running game.

1080
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 1: They have these big guys up front, and they have

1081
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: a great running quarterback, and they haven't really integrated it.

1082
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 1: Maybe this isn't the game to do it, but I

1083
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: feel like that's the only way you could try to

1084
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 1: keep up here, slow it down a little bit. I

1085
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 1: don't know if this is the game though at all.

1086
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: I mean, if there's one opponent, one defense in the

1087
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:29,759
Speaker 1: league that you look at and say, let's um, we

1088
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 1: can try but but well that's fine, but there's a

1089
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 1: reason people aren't trying to. I mean, they gave up

1090
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 1: negative one yards rushing two weeks ago in thirty nine

1091
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,319
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins. And I get that the Dolphins, uh,

1092
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 1: you know, you've got Jacobe per setting there. It's a

1093
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: tough situation. But they were also eight for eleven on

1094
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 1: third downs. The Bucks. They had the ball for thirty

1095
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 1: seven plus minutes. UM there dominant, and you look at

1096
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:55,840
Speaker 1: the Eagles and I thought, actually, that was an incredibly

1097
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 1: resilient second half and had a lot to do with

1098
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 1: their defense. But Hurts, um, you know, like that that

1099
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 1: they had thirteen yards of offense over their first seven drives.

1100
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 1: The Eagles, it took them a while to shake out of, um,

1101
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,279
Speaker 1: you know, their slumber. But I thought that Hurts down

1102
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 1: the stretch, asked to make a couple of big throws,

1103
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 1: had a big one to Dallas Goddard Um to help

1104
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 1: set up the win, and then an incredible two point

1105
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: play where you threw it to the back of the

1106
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,399
Speaker 1: end zone to DeVonta Smith, and I Hurts just does

1107
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 1: it all. I mean, I know that some of these

1108
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 1: games like he's not looking, you know, like Lamar Jackson

1109
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,840
Speaker 1: in terms of the overall functioning offense. But I I understand,

1110
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 1: like it feels like the Eagles are still in this

1111
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 1: referendum period with Hurts, and I think in one he

1112
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:37,839
Speaker 1: does a lot for you, um, and he keeps growing

1113
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 1: every week, is he is. Their offense is not the

1114
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 1: same as Tampa's on any level. But I think it's

1115
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 1: their defense with Darius Slay who broke up last week,

1116
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 1: Javon Hargrave, who is playing awesome right now. I mean,

1117
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 1: it's the same all thing you've got to try to get.

1118
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 1: I'm not locking this this game on any level. I'm

1119
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 1: not totally psychotic, but if you're an Eagles fan, you

1120
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 1: really take positives out of Sunday because there there was

1121
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 1: some questions starting to percolate in Philadelphia about Nick Sirianni,

1122
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 1: whether this team is disciplined enough under him, if if

1123
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,880
Speaker 1: they have their poop together is another way to put it.

1124
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 1: And then in the final five games against the quality

1125
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 1: Carolina team, we don't know how good the Panthers are,

1126
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 1: but they're pretty good. Uh. They get a block punt,

1127
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 1: they get a touchdown drive on a Hurts touchdown run,

1128
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 1: and then Stephen Nelson um picks Sam Donald uh to

1129
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: win the game. So that's positive. At the same time,

1130
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 1: now you get a short week. I know, you get

1131
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: to stay home and that's good, but um, I don't

1132
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 1: like having a deal with this Bucks team on a

1133
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 1: short week when you're kind of a middling, uh middle

1134
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 1: of the pack team. Now I'm not gonna lock it

1135
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 1: up the mirror test. It is on the edge of

1136
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 1: the mirror test that it's the desert says the seven points. Yeah,

1137
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: so I don't do seven. I don't, okay, so then

1138
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 1: nobody can lock it up. But I'll say this, this

1139
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 1: is interesting. Richard Sherman, who you may or may not

1140
00:57:57,320 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 1: be aware, is now on the Buccaneers because you know,

1141
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 1: why not just collect all the stars, uh, even if

1142
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 1: they're past their prime. But he approached Leonard Fournett for

1143
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: Net at halftime on Sunday or against the Dolphins, even

1144
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 1: before the game was out of hand. But I think

1145
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 1: everybody knew what was gonna happen. And uh, Richard Sherman,

1146
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 1: who was a member of the Legion of Boom, of course,

1147
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 1: that two thousand thirteen Seahawks team was one of the

1148
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 1: best I think of this century so far. And he

1149
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: told Leonard Fournette that he had never been part of

1150
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,640
Speaker 1: a team with so much talent, and for Nett responded

1151
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 1: and he told the media that's how we know this

1152
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: this is different. That's what he said about the Bucks.

1153
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 1: And that's what I think that the Eagles are going

1154
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 1: to learn. I think this is a double digit blowout

1155
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 1: type situation. Yeah, I tend to agree and hurts maybe

1156
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 1: makes it interesting late, but Brady, Brady, this eats his

1157
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 1: own coverage now and that's all the Eagles do. Your boy,

1158
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 1: Lenny that you're talking about, he's running great is uh.

1159
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, I don't know. I don't

1160
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 1: have an opinion on one way or the other. That's

1161
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 1: all the story of him. I've never seen him look

1162
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: as good as he has the last three weeks, even

1163
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 1: early in his career. I don't think like maybe that,

1164
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, being around all time great makes you better.

1165
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 1: Funny how that works, true, true, true? Alright, so check

1166
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 1: that game out, Colleen Wolf Um. I think Colleen would

1167
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 1: have been on the show today to preview the game,

1168
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 1: but now she's doing the Split Ends podcast with Ricky

1169
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 1: Hollywood and uh now, rick Now, Connie has to make

1170
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 1: some hard decisions. So in an indirect way, our own

1171
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 1: producers undermining our show. Your thoughts, Erica incredible, h Yeah,

1172
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 1: I disagree with that. I think, Um, you know, originally

1173
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 1: we weren't going to do a show, and she had

1174
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 1: planned otherwise, and then you know, with this news, we

1175
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 1: changed it. So uh, you know, scheduling sometimes can get

1176
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 1: in the way. But to but to Damn's the point,

1177
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 1: Ricky like it did tire her out to such an

1178
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 1: extent that she was unable to appear on our show.

1179
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 1: Speak on it. Okay, well, Um is always on the schedule.

1180
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 1: One that was a planned I always say Eric went

1181
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:04,760
Speaker 1: in doubt. You could also always just say screw you

1182
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:07,439
Speaker 1: guys and disappear because your answer was fine. The first

1183
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 1: one was fair. Yeah, yeah, we yeah, Okay, screw you guys.

1184
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 1: We'll she be sitting with Tom Brady that that is

1185
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 1: something that I thought about Um earlier today. You know

1186
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 1: it's who which he's Tom? I don't think it's Tom

1187
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:24,480
Speaker 1: doing Thursday football. He like doesn't he doesn't do that.

1188
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 1: It'll be like what Gronk might play. By the way,

1189
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 1: Dallas Gardard got COVID or he's on the COVID list

1190
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:33,440
Speaker 1: though he might not play, would be amazing Mite. Maybe

1191
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 1: maybe Tom does a solid Roger Tom, Gronk and Tom

1192
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 1: together right now, Gronk does. Gronk does Aaron Andrews after

1193
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 1: the game, but he won't come out to the podium.

1194
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 1: You can't do Antonio Brown because he's problematic. Um Gronk

1195
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 1: might not play so you basically you gotta hope Chris

1196
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 1: Godwin has a good day or JPP someone that that

1197
01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:01,360
Speaker 1: the fans can really embrace Lenny playoff, Lenny scenario down

1198
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 1: Gruden out of the league understandably, and there's justifiably so

1199
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:12,919
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. They celebrated superstar in the league. It's weird

1200
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 1: how things are sometimes, that's all. And Antonio with the

1201
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 1: youngest player in NFL history to get to nine catches,

1202
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 1: and he's like, I been out for long stretches of time.

1203
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 1: It's kind of he's been the last a couple of weeks.

1204
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but I think it might have

1205
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 1: been in terms of games played, So they're not not

1206
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 1: just your point being that he was able to get

1207
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 1: back into the league because he's so damn good, right,

1208
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 1: And maybe like if John Gruden had made the playoffs

1209
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 1: the last three years and they're coming off a f

1210
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 1: C Championship Game appearance. You know, I'm cynical enough to one,

1211
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:54,360
Speaker 1: I'm cynical enough to wonder what if everything would happen

1212
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 1: in the same way, you know that would all come out,

1213
01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 1: whether the information, everything could be different. Like I don't

1214
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: want you don't want to do the kind of do

1215
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 1: a you know, blind a b test. But you know,

1216
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: I mean we we had a point on this podcast

1217
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 1: where we would have been totally convinced Antonio Brown was

1218
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 1: done in this league forever. I mean, Chris Chris famously

1219
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 1: stopped rooting for the Patriots, um for good once they stop,

1220
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, like and like here he is, you know,

1221
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 1: winning super Bowls back with the same guy, and everyone's

1222
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 1: just like he's the same guy, he's a different guy. Well,

1223
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 1: we've got new things to be outraged about, and you

1224
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 1: know Antonio Brown's and the deep dist and should he

1225
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 1: be different questions? Those emails are terrible. Well read about

1226
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. It is a sliding scale. Um, all right,

1227
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 1: big Ben? Like come on, well, had that his six

1228
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:50,000
Speaker 1: game suspension reduced to four? And who were they playing

1229
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 1: in week five? To I guess that's another I have

1230
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 1: a guy we're hitting for the cycle of Mark And

1231
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 1: also he's coming back with a bang. I love that story. Um.

1232
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 1: Just so you know, Ricky, if you didn't mention Big

1233
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:04,479
Speaker 1: Ben in the next twelve seconds, Greg would have Yeah,

1234
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 1: I wanted to be do we just want to play

1235
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 1: the game, all right, Jamis Winston. I mean do we

1236
01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 1: want to keep going there are yeah, yeah, all right,

1237
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 1: here we go before we say goodbye. Um, speaking all

1238
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 1: the controversy, the fact that the listeners are so into this,

1239
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 1: uh it cannot cannot go to the episode without bringing

1240
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 1: it up. I mean, Mark Cecily, you know when I

1241
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 1: when you think about the Sandwich game, by the way,

1242
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:32,920
Speaker 1: I think about Mark, and I think how he's lasting

1243
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 1: the standings, but that doesn't matter. He's kind of like

1244
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:40,360
Speaker 1: to use a baseball analogy, the true three outcome type hitter,

1245
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:43,040
Speaker 1: where it's like, yeah, he's gonna strike out a ton,

1246
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 1: gonna walk, and he's gonna hit a lot of home runs,

1247
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 1: and Mark's gonna run into one every once in a while.

1248
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 1: He's sure did here because Mark, I'll set it up

1249
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 1: here to your Sandwich props. When made this at the

1250
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 1: beginning of September, a coach will resign during the season.

1251
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 1: Boom shaka laka. He resigned, not fired, and he gone

1252
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,439
Speaker 1: that Mark was rooting for something like this to happen,

1253
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 1: and not just that we might get two coaches. By

1254
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 1: the way, you've got it. You've got a long way

1255
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 1: to go on Urban Meyer here and not just that.

1256
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 1: A top story involves an NFL cheerleader, and yes, one

1257
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 1: of the allegations within the report that doomed John Gruden

1258
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:34,400
Speaker 1: was Bruce Allen Area slam Ball sending um photos of

1259
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 1: Washington cheerleaders from a calendar shoot to John Gruden. They're

1260
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:42,560
Speaker 1: part of the story, thousands of the only reason why

1261
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:45,000
Speaker 1: we know this story at all. I feel like I

1262
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 1: got dozens of tweets people like you gotta give Mark

1263
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 1: this one, Like I'm the judge. Listen some of these

1264
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 1: things with Mark, some of these ones that were close,

1265
01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 1: they were just that close and he didn't quite nail it,

1266
01:04:56,800 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 1: and we couldn't give the sandwiches. But there's nothing missed

1267
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 1: on this one, Marky. That is also a winner. That's

1268
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 1: three sandwiches and you are Joey Gallo, good sir. That's

1269
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:11,320
Speaker 1: a walk off. Yeah. I mean, I you know when

1270
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 1: it when it started to erupt during Monday night football,

1271
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:17,240
Speaker 1: Like my mentions were going crazy. Yet the dynamic of

1272
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 1: making those type of sandwich props. No, I mean, I

1273
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:23,960
Speaker 1: maybe privately I was thinking, this is totally bizarre that

1274
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:27,280
Speaker 1: this is happening right now and nothing feels real in general. Um,

1275
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 1: So that just tack that onto the non the non

1276
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:33,680
Speaker 1: reality of the whole thing life. But um, like what

1277
01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: you can't openly celebrate it either because it's come through

1278
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 1: um horrific circumstances. But it has to be satisfying for

1279
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 1: your predictions. Um that were that came true because someone

1280
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:51,400
Speaker 1: made like horrible, bigoted, hurtful comments and that cheerleaders were

1281
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 1: sexually harassed. That Greg, that's you. That must be satisfying.

1282
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 1: Then that's how you spin it. But when I when

1283
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 1: I really did, I mean that that was about as

1284
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:04,400
Speaker 1: gregor response as you could drum up. But time back

1285
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 1: in August, how can you root for this? Well? But

1286
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 1: when you but you like so, I guess the other

1287
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:10,959
Speaker 1: maneuver would be when you're doing sandwich props, it would

1288
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:15,360
Speaker 1: be let's just come up with delightfully rose gardens, delightful

1289
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:18,000
Speaker 1: spreads of good news. But I can't, you know, I

1290
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 1: can't control what I spent the night before coming up

1291
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:22,960
Speaker 1: with two or three things that's stuck with me, and

1292
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 1: then I dismissed them and they kept coming back. And

1293
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 1: the cheerleader thing, which really was just a footnote in

1294
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 1: this report, a terrible one, but um, maybe not as

1295
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 1: central as I suggested early on but you can't control

1296
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 1: what comes into the mind, whether it's good news or bad.

1297
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:40,920
Speaker 1: You know you're Stodamas Mark. And there's a story I

1298
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: love Notre Damas. There was a HBO special in the

1299
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 1: early eighties hosted by Orson Wells called The Man Who

1300
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:53,800
Speaker 1: Saw Tomorrow and amazing, keep this music pumping, rocky um,

1301
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 1: and then that HBO special, there's a story that always

1302
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 1: stuck with me, and of Nostradamus, the famous French astrologer.

1303
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 1: The stories about his ability to predict the future. We're

1304
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 1: starting to grow and spread from village to village. And

1305
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 1: he was invited to a banquet and the host attempted

1306
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 1: to trick Nostre Damas. He said that there would be

1307
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:21,840
Speaker 1: a black pig and a white pig, and he asked

1308
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 1: Nastro Damas to predict which pig they'd be eating. No

1309
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:28,800
Speaker 1: Damas said the black pig. So then the host, all

1310
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 1: sneaky light, all sneaky like, instructed the cook to prepare

1311
01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 1: the white pig. Later on, while they're eating and enjoying dinner,

1312
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 1: he challenges no Damas to stay it again. Which pig

1313
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:47,480
Speaker 1: were they eating? And No Damas said the black one,

1314
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 1: So the host all proud of himself, calls in the

1315
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 1: cook and says, which pig are we eating right now?

1316
01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:00,760
Speaker 1: And the cook says, well, while prepare ring the white pig,

1317
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 1: it fell from the table and was devoured by dogs,

1318
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:08,000
Speaker 1: so they had no choice but to serve the black pig.

1319
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 1: Nostre Dama's new mark Sessler always knows well one and

1320
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:20,559
Speaker 1: the same how this works, just fixing person pork. All right,

1321
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:24,360
Speaker 1: good to have you back, Park. Here's the schedule. We're

1322
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:27,080
Speaker 1: right on schedule, considering you know we were just in

1323
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:31,240
Speaker 1: England yesterday. There's your Tuesday show. We'll be back Thursday

1324
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 1: with the week six preview show. The television shows back

1325
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:39,439
Speaker 1: as well, getting just monster ratings, a huge hit all

1326
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:42,560
Speaker 1: across the world around the NFL broadcast. I have no

1327
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:45,479
Speaker 1: actually data to back that up, but just let's work

1328
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 1: under the asopo on Sky Sports NFL on Saturday's UM

1329
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 1: same program that shows uh the NFL game shows over time,

1330
01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:57,200
Speaker 1: the show we we joined last week, lots of great programming.

1331
01:08:57,360 --> 01:09:00,840
Speaker 1: I'm slightly concerned that ratings did ratings creep up or

1332
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:03,000
Speaker 1: height a spike while I was gone. That would be

1333
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:05,560
Speaker 1: am I still allowed onto the set for this or

1334
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 1: have you found it better. We'd rather you have that

1335
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:14,080
Speaker 1: conversation with our producer. Um, but you'll leave it at that. Um.

1336
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 1: So yes, the back Friday at the Televisi show and
