Just 28 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: watch a little Monday night football. Wanted to hate the 29 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: game coming into it, and then I found myself on 30 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: the couch going, it's pretty entertaining. I really kind of 31 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: enjoyed it. Jake Browning Game of his life. Obviously, the 32 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: story of the night Trevor Lawrence carried off the field 33 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: does not look good. I'm recording this right after the game, 34 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: so I don't know the injury. We've all watched football 35 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: long enough to know it's probably not good, probably not 36 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: good at all. So the implications of that. Some thoughts 37 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: on the officiating and Big Dom, the Jets, Belichick, Caleb Williams, 38 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: Little Debo talk a lot of football stuff.

I mean, there's a lot 65 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: going on in this game. I'm recording this. I don't 66 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: know less than ten minutes after he hit the walk 67 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: off field goal, so I don't have the information on 68 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: what happened to Trevor Lawrence's ankle slash knee. Obviously there 69 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: was collateral damage because Walker Little, the left tackle, went down, 70 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: But I'm stating the obvious here. If it's a significant 71 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: injury and he's out for a foreseeable period of time, 72 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: obviously there's not that much season left. It's December fourth, 73 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: But if he's out for the rest of the season, 74 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: they're done. They're screwed. Like the Houston Texans are gonna 75 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: win this division if that's the case. I mean, tonight 76 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: was pretty devastating. It looked like not only the Jags 77 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: were gonna win. Trevor was playing really well, even though 78 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: Jake Browning's having the game of his life since he 79 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: was in college. You're like, listen, it's Monday, night football. 80 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: I say it all the time. Monday night football games 81 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: late in the season against bad teams, like if it's 82 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: a playoff level team against a bad team, always feel tight. 83 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: I remember years ago the Giants might have been playing 84 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: the Patriots pre like when the Patriots were decent, might 85 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: have been a different opponent, and it was just a knockdown, 86 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: dragout game. And it was one of those years pre 87 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: day ball, when the Giants were really bad, even though 88 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: they're pretty terrible right now, and just Monday night football game. 89 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: It's a big deal to players, it's a big deal 90 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: to coaches. I don't care how shitty your team is, 91 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: you get up for it. And that's what it felt 92 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: like tonight. Now, granted you're watching the Bengals, you go, well, 93 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: they got Jamar Chase, who's one of the best players 94 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: in the league. Joe Mixon's pretty damn good. Uh Amaruno, 95 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator for the Bengals. I don't know. He 96 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: was a finalist last year for a head coaching job. 97 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: He's pretty damn good. They got some young players. They 98 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: play hard, they're making open field tackles well. Their franchise 99 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: player is on the sideline in a sling like that's 100 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: It's like, God, he's he's really hurt. I mean, of 101 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: course he is. He's out for the season, but that's 102 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: that makes you go godness not ideal. Uh, you got 103 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: some fight. These guys are pros. These guys get paid 104 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: a lot of money too. I saw someone ask Tyreek 105 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: Hill after he dusted someone on the Commanders and then 106 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: they did one of the best celebrations you'll ever see. 107 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: They did the roller coaster with like four guys. They 108 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,559 Speaker 1: put over the uh you know see you know, the 109 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: the seat belts and then they all went the same way. 110 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: I highly recommend googling it if you haven't seen it. 111 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: But like Tyreek was like, were you offended? They didn't 112 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: give you safety help. He's like, those guys make a 113 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: lot of money too, Like their coaching staff is highly paid, 114 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: and this is this is pro football. Like all these 115 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: guys are making a decent chunk of change. So I'm 116 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: never shocked when these games are tight. Now, when you 117 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: have an injury like Trevor Lawrence, and this season's kind 118 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: of been defined by quarterback injuries, think how many star players. 119 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: I mean, it really started. It was like an omen 120 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: with Rogers four or five plays into the season, he's 121 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: laying on the ground. I mean, that's that still is 122 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: the craziest injury I've ever seen when you factor in 123 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: all the hooplah, all the hype, the trade and everything. 124 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen worse, obviously, way worse injuries than 125 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in terms of like the visual with bone 126 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: sticking out, knees, you know, going the wrong way achilles. 127 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: It actually isn't that hard to watch in the sense 128 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: of it's not like a violent play on the player, 129 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: you just know it right away. But think of all 130 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: the other guys that have been KOed since and if 131 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence does have a significant knee, ankle, whatever injury, 132 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: it's a devastating blow for the NFL because this was 133 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: a playoff team. He's a young our quarterback at least 134 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: star in the sense of former number one pick ton 135 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: of hype. Everyone that follows football knows who he is, 136 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: and that sucks. There's no there's no overcoming that, you know. 137 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: I mean, think about Jake Brown in tonight, who probably 138 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: on a bright note, honestly, how cool is that if 139 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: you're him, if you're his family. One of the guys 140 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: I follow on Twitter. He covers high school football in Sacramento, 141 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: and Jake Browning played where I come from. D La 142 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: Salle in the Bay Area and Fulsome High School in 143 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: Sacramento are the two powers currently in you know, northern California, 144 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: Non LA School and Fulsome High School. Troy Taylor, who's 145 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: now the head coach at Stanford, used to be the 146 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: head coach there and coached Jake Browning. And he went 147 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: to the game with his son and he took the 148 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: selfie and he sent it to this guy and he 149 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: tweeted it and like, how cool is it that the 150 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: guy's former high school coach. Is there anyone that knows 151 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: Jake Browning? I mean, this guy played at Washington, he 152 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: led them to the playoffs. I mean, he was a 153 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: pretty heralded college player, but not in a million years 154 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: that I think he'd be in the NFL. But here's 155 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: the thing. You either get better, you get worse. I 156 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: don't care what you do. You're either gonna improve or 157 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: you're gonna get lapped in whatever profession you're in, especially 158 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: any profession that is competitive. And here's what I will 159 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: say about Jake Browning. He's clearly improved, Like to me, 160 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: he looked dramatically better, as I mean, you should improve 161 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: with age as an athlete if you're putting in the time, 162 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: and Aikman said talking to him, like he's put in 163 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: a lot of time. He was fucking fantastic tonight. I mean, 164 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: you go thirty two of thirty seven on Monday Night 165 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: football for over three hundred and fifty yards and a 166 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: touchdown and to throw the dime down the sideline to 167 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase. But there was a poise, there was an accuracy. 168 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: He made a sweet play with his legs. Like what 169 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: a really really cool moment for him. It's one thing, 170 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: you know, like Davido, Like it's fun to talk about Davido, 171 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 1: to talk about, you know, the mob and Chicken Palm 172 00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: and all the jokes that are being had with his 173 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: fam leg and viral. It's funny. I mean, it's legitimately 174 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: kind of funny. But Tommy DeVito, I got news for you. 175 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: Probably ain't gonna be in the league long. I mean 176 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: I would bet against it, and more than likely is 177 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: like not gonna have any more moments. Hell, Tyrod Taylor's 178 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: probably coming back. We're not even gonna see Tommy DeVito, 179 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: Like Jay Browning is starting the rest of the season. 180 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: This team is six and six. I don't know if 181 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 1: you noticed. I don't know why I watched the amount 182 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 1: of this game that I did on Sunday. The Pittsburgh Steelers, 183 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: who I just told stuck you the other day. I'm like, 184 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 1: look at their schedule, man, they're gonna be eleven and 185 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: four middle Coff, They're not gonna be fucking eleven four. 186 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: They stick. They're awful. They wouldn't have beat the Arizona 187 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 1: Cardinals had Kenny Pickett not gotten injured. I don't care 188 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: how many tropical rainstorms, hurricanes, tornadoes, whatever kept delaying that 189 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: game came through. The Pittsburgh Steelers are not good. That 190 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: they are not. And honestly, the Arizona Cardinals props to 191 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. They're two and two since he returned. But 192 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: like the Bengals are dead, they are just not dead. 193 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: Look at the carnage that happened yesterday. No different than 194 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: the Bills. Now, I like the Bills more than the 195 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: Bengals because I would bet on Josh Allen over Jake Browning. 196 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: But if this guy can just play under control. Now 197 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: there's one thing Monday Night Football a little extra rest. 198 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: You know, I'm not gonna put act like he's gonna 199 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: continue to play like this, but very cool moment. I 200 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: think sometimes we talk so much like is this guy overpaid, 201 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: this guy underpays, this guy overrated, so they trade this guy? 202 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: This guy need to get fired instead. And I'm guilty 203 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: of this probably more than most talking about all that stuff. 204 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 1: Would we just be like, what a cool freaking moment, 205 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: What an awesome game for that guy, pro athlete, backup 206 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: quarterback on one of the better teams in the NFL 207 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 1: over the last several years. No one ever, no one 208 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: even knows the guy's name, really because ideally he's never 209 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: gonna have to play. When you got Joe Burrow and 210 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: he comes in, he has a moment like that on 211 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: Monday Night Football thirty two to thirty seven. What a game, 212 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: What a freaking game by the guy, And ultimately you 213 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: help lead your team to a victory like against a 214 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: you know, a really good team. Now, once Trevor Lawrence 215 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: goes out, who was also having a really good game, 216 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: you know you're not necessarily beating him, I would say, 217 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: in full strength clearly. But that was very impressive by 218 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: the Bengals and not tapping out, not quitting. I know 219 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: their head coach can be polarizing sometimes. I thought the 220 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: easiest way to help any average quarterback, and definitely a 221 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: backup quarterback, is to get easy plays. You know in 222 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: basketball you call them layups, right, get to the rim, 223 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: like get to the foul line. One football, run the ball, 224 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: Just run the ball. Don't even ask him to do anything. 225 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: And when you get positive yards on the ground, enables 226 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: your quarterback to play a little freer. It's much harder 227 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: to play quarterback when you ask them to, you know, 228 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: operate like Joe Burrow and they did this a week ago. 229 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: It's like, Bro, you get in positions. If he's incomplete 230 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,319 Speaker 1: on first down, you're in second. You're in passing situations, 231 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: second and third down, and if for some reason you 232 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: have a penalty, something happens all of a sudden, you're 233 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: in second, third, and not even close to manageable. I 234 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,599 Speaker 1: mean you're talking third and forever. So you put a 235 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 1: guy like that in those situations, it's gonna be very difficult. 236 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: But when I get you in second and five, second 237 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: and two, third and one, like, we got a chance 238 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: for success. And then because of the talent that you 239 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: have on offense, you can be explosive. Now. I think 240 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: a lot of people like if you just went to 241 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: Twitter when Boyd threw one of the worst picks you'll 242 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: ever see. It was the second double pass the Bengals 243 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: busted out. That shows you Zach Taylor coming into this game, 244 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: didn't have that much faith in this quarterback. He thought 245 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: he was gonna pull have to pull off like all 246 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: the you know, bells and whistles, throw everything, throw the 247 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: kitchen sink at the Jags, just to have a chance 248 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: to win, which I understand coming into the game. But 249 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: I would say by like early second quarter, you're like 250 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: got the Bengals can just play with them. You don't 251 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: need to outthink them. Sometimes you need to pull some 252 00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: of these trick plays because you're not as good as 253 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: you're Tonight, look like equals, just play the game. Now 254 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: they avoided it. It felt like that was gonna be 255 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: the moment. Remember when Chuck Pagano called the whatever the 256 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 1: hell that was that fake punt with McAfee and he 257 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: got tackled. It was like the worst play in NFL history. 258 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: It kind of felt like that tonight when the Bengals 259 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: when he threw the ball right to Alan, the defensive 260 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: end literally hit him right. He jumped, but he did 261 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: not need to jump. Underrated play. Also, even when it 262 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: is a ball right to you and something like that, 263 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 1: if you are a pass rusher, if you are a 264 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: d lineman outside linebacker and you pick it off, that's 265 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: not easy. Like most of your time during the week 266 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 1: is not spent on the judge machine. So it just 267 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: kind of being an athlete, you know, kind of throwback 268 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 1: to when you were a kid. Just make a play, 269 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: and he did. But big win for the Bengals. Obviously, 270 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: the story of the night. We'll see. Maybe by the 271 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: time you listen to this, we have some concrete evidence. 272 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: But listen, we've all watched enough football to know that 273 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: did not look good. He clearly threw his helmet, you know, 274 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: paining frustration. And I think sometimes when you you know, 275 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 1: just watching sports my entire life, you know, it's really bad, 276 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: And I think there's a level sometimes there's just a 277 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,719 Speaker 1: level of shock. Right when you get injured. You see 278 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: it a lot in basketball. You're like, got it. He 279 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: just rip every tendon and ligament in his entire body, 280 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: and then like ten minutes later, they're back in the 281 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: game just because you kind of freak out. And then 282 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: there's when something like that happened the night you get 283 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: bent back in the wrong direction, how your left back 284 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: ones of leaving the game as well, and you know 285 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: it's really bad. Still can't quite understand why they made 286 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: him walk, you know, to Miami, Florida, Like, can someone 287 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: give the guy a ride. This is a player that 288 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: you're probably gonna give one hundred and fifty hundred and 289 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: seventy million dollars too in the next eighteen months. Let's 290 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: get the guy in the cart. But they literally just 291 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: kind of carried him, you know, slash walked really slow, 292 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: which must have taken forever because they panned to him 293 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: after commercial and they're still walking under the tunnel at 294 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: like baby speed. But you know, you gotta be careful 295 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: with that knee, so ankle or whatever the hell. It 296 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: is just a devastating loss in every way imaginable for 297 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson. I also had the thought, is Doug's Dougs 298 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: has some terrible injuries happened to his quarterback? Now, obviously 299 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: the one in Philadelphia worked out in his favor when 300 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: Foles came in and became magical and they won the 301 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I think I'm I'm not breaking any news 302 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: here that's not happening in this situation. That's not happening 303 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: with CJ. Bethard. If they were to make the playoffs 304 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: and Trevor can't come back, They're not winning a playoff 305 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: game with CJ. Bethard, I would bet my life savings 306 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: on that. Right now, I don't give a shit who 307 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: they play. I read a lot today just searching through 308 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: the headlines. This is what I usually do to just 309 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: see what, you know, what are the people talking about 310 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: out there? Should what should we talk about on the 311 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: old podcast? And you know, in my world, a lot 312 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: of Niner people, a lot of Eagle people, just a 313 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: lot of green law Don Desandro talk. And if you 314 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: listen to the Other Day listen, Dom's one of the 315 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: coolest motherfuckers I've ever known. I spent so much time 316 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: eating with him, talking with them. When I lived in Philly, 317 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: I gravitate toward, you know, I would say people that 318 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: just color outside the lines. Not only they entertain me, 319 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: but I just some about them that I don't know 320 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: see myself in. I don't know what it is, but 321 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: I just I like those type guys. I love Don Desandro. 322 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: Most people do that have been around him, and I 323 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: saw I actually have this epiphany last night because I'm 324 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: laying in bed. It's hard to sleep for me. After Sundays, 325 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: I get all worked up. I do a bunch of 326 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: podcasts just talk about football, and I'm just like all 327 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: amped up. I have to take like seventeen Melatonins just 328 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: to kind of doze off. And I watched this side 329 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: view of the green Law and I love Drake Greenlaw 330 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: as well. I mean, Drake Greenlaw to me is an 331 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: underrated heartbeat of the Niners. Fred said it to Greg 332 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: Olsen on the broadcast, Like I try, and he's known 333 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: as like one of the most violent players in league, 334 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: and friends like I try to hit as hard as 335 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,160 Speaker 1: Dray When Drey's on the field healthy, there's a violence 336 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: to the forty nine ers that no one in the 337 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,360 Speaker 1: league can match. Dude is just on the edge of craziness, 338 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: I mean, and sometimes he crosses it. But this is 339 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: this is the NFL, this isn't peewee football. I need 340 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: some guys to cross the line every once in a while. 341 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: But I saw this. My epiphany was I saw this 342 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: sideline view of the dom Dre Greenlaw thing, and when 343 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 1: you put things in slow motion, totally understand it with 344 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: did you get two feet down right? Did a guy 345 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: catch the ball? Did did the ball touch or the 346 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 1: foot touch out of bounds? Right? I understand sometimes the 347 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: need for slow motion in football. When you do slow 348 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 1: motion in a fight, right or just an altercation, I 349 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: think it makes it worse, look fifty times worse because 350 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: I saw the full speed. I don't even want to 351 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: call it an altercation, just the moment between green Law 352 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: Devonte Smith. It was a nothing burger. And I said 353 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: this yesterday, and I've been beating this drum forever. I've 354 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 1: always hated in basketball, and I'm specifically talking about Draymond 355 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 1: because when I lived in the Bay I watched the Warriors. 356 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: Kind of suck now and they're boring, but in their heyday, 357 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 1: I watched every minute of every Warrior game. And Draymond 358 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: does things, or at least did things over the course 359 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: of his career to get tossed like he earned it right. 360 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: No different Dennis Rodman, Rashid Wallace, like some guys you know, 361 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 1: are legitimately crossing the line on certain nights, but then 362 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: they're also treated on other nights, and Draymond wasn't alone. 363 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: It always bothered me in a pro game when a 364 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: player said like f you to another player and get 365 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 1: tossed for that, even f you to the ref like, 366 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: this is not the peeweez, This is not junior high 367 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: basketball or football. This is not college sports. We are 368 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: not teaching life lessons. There are millions of dollars on 369 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: the line. This is a business. None of that other 370 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 1: shit nobody cares about. This is an entert product, which 371 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: is a business. You gotta let things go. And to me, 372 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: where the officials really screwed up in that moment, and 373 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: it just it's bothered me since that play. No one 374 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: needed to get tossed. It was honestly barely. It wasn't 375 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: even a scuffle. Dom tried to separate him, green Law 376 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 1: pointed at his face. I saw Howard Eskin, who's the 377 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: sideline guy for the Eagles, said that John Lynch, Drake 378 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: gree Law, Dom and a couple other Eagles were laughing 379 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: about it in the holes of the Lincoln Financial Field 380 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: After the game, nobody gave a shit again beside the referees, 381 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: the consumer US who pay for everything are there watching 382 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 1: the game. For the players and the coaches. Everyone that 383 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: paid a lot of money to attend that game is 384 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: there for the game. The officials too often in professional sports, 385 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: whether it's basketball, baseball, football, inject themselves into things that 386 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: don't need to be or don't need their hand involved. 387 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: If you have a malice at the PA and Ron 388 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 1: our Test is beating the shit out everybody, yeah, time 389 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: to get involved. If there is some eighties nineties old 390 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: school brawls where guys are throwing haymakers at each other, yeah, 391 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 1: maybe some guys need to get thrown out. I'm sorry. 392 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 1: That was a fucking embarrassment for the NFL. And when 393 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 1: I see these headlines like that they're gonna go after 394 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: the Eagles, what are we doing? That was one of 395 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: the biggest nothing burgers I've ever seen. Nobody should have 396 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: gotten any trouble, No one should have got ejected. Separate them, 397 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: call the next play. I think sometimes and maybe it's 398 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: like the network's getting involved because this is such a 399 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: big television show. Create the drama. It's almost like the 400 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: reality show that's truly reality. They're just playing a game. Now, 401 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: you can think the game's rigged or not, but I 402 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: don't believe that is. I'm not sure that Howie Roseman 403 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: and Nick Sirianni got a script when the season began 404 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: that you're gonna get your ass kicked by the forty 405 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: nine ers. But just let the reality on the television 406 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: on the field play itself out, and referees like try 407 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: to stay away as much as possible. Whatever happened to 408 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 1: just separating them and just moving on, that doesn't happen anymore. 409 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 1: In sports, we're constantly throwing guys out. Our time is 410 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: way too valuable. These guys are being paid way too 411 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: much money to go hit the showers for nothing. If 412 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: you take your helmet and you slam it on some 413 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: guy's face, okay, if I point at your face and 414 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 1: I have no clue who you are as an opposing 415 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: player who cares. That really was a really embarrassing moment 416 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: for Roger in his operation. And listen, I've been on 417 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: the referees. I don't even waste that much time talking 418 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: about it over the last calendar year because rinse, wash, repeat. 419 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: But when you start sending guys to the showers, when 420 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 1: you start doing things like that, that's inexcusable. Now you 421 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,959 Speaker 1: could argue that the buzz it's going to create if 422 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 1: they play again in the NFC Championship a huge storyline, 423 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: and it is, so it's good for everyone's business that's 424 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: in the broadcasting of the game. So maybe they like 425 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,239 Speaker 1: doing that crap. But if I'm Roger Goodell, like, can 426 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 1: everyone just take a deep breath? Can we just try 427 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: to get the calls on the feel right and not 428 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 1: worry about throwing guys out or getting some guy in 429 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: trouble over something that was pretty innocuous. I mean, I 430 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: honestly believe that if you watch it in slow motion, yeah, 431 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 1: it feels like Connor McGregor fighting Mike Tyson. If you 432 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: watch it in real time, it's like, fuck, I saw 433 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: this crazier thing that happened in the gas station today. Like, 434 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: let's be better, NFL. We're too important to the fabric 435 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: of society at this point. You're the number one television 436 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 1: show in America. Just let's figure out our referees and 437 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 1: just how to tone them down a little bit. For 438 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: the love of God, please, for me, for you, and 439 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 1: for everyone who enjoys this sport, Can we just try 440 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: to corral that group because it feels like they're a 441 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: bunch of village idiots right now. A lot of other 442 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: stuff going on. It kind of hit me today. You know, 443 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: Belichick lost six nothing at home, six to nothing, and 444 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: I read that Belichick and the Patriots are the first 445 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 1: team since like the late thirties to lose three games 446 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: where they held the opponent to ten points or under. 447 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: I was thinking, like, if you played three games, whatever 448 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: their record is, you know they've played eleven or twelve games. 449 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,640 Speaker 1: But so you know we're talking thirty to twenty five 450 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: percent of your season. Your defense is playing awesome. And 451 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 1: obviously they've had other games when the team was in 452 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 1: the teams or the low twenties. Belichick is still coach defense. 453 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: Belichick knows how to play an opposing team with a star, 454 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: highly paid quarterback, with other good weapons, especially if his 455 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: team is healthy, give his team a fighting chance to 456 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 1: compete defensively. One thing is clear. He doesn't know how 457 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:42,120 Speaker 1: to evaluate offensive skill guys, especially wide receivers. And if 458 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 1: the quarterback position is screwed up, i e. Tom Brady 459 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: not there, and he doesn't have some other plug and 460 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 1: play top ten player, he's fucked. But think about a 461 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: couple of years ago, when Mac Jones was just serviceable 462 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 1: as a rookie, he had Josh McDaniels. Well, I was 463 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: thinking about today, Josh McDaniels doesn't have a job because 464 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: I've texted with so many people, like middle Coff, you 465 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: really think I'm not going third person Cam Newton style. 466 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: I'm just saying that's what they say to me that 467 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: because I saw he did an interview with the part 468 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: of my take guys, he says he talks to third 469 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: person like every other sentence. It's like Cam just talking 470 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: about like a normal human. It's like, what do you think, 471 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 1: Cam Newton? No, Cam, you are Cam Newton. But Belichick's 472 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: offensive issues this year. He doesn't have his offensive coordinator. Well, 473 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,439 Speaker 1: his offensive coordinator is gonna be available. So if you 474 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: hire Bill Belichick this offseason, because let's face it, there 475 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: is no possibility of him returning zero. I mean, it 476 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 1: makes absolutely no sense for Bill Belichick to return or 477 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: to let him have the power to draft one of 478 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks slash draft other people in the draft. I 479 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't let him touch it. It's an easy one to 480 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 1: go your separate ways. But then the question mark is, like, 481 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: is Bill Belichick a viable candidate. And I've been saying 482 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: for weeks like I think he's gonna have the pick 483 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: of the litter. Well, he's gonna be able to say, well, 484 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: why don't I just bring Josh with me as my 485 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator? You guys see what I can do on defense. 486 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: I get Josh calling my offense, and boom, we're cooking 487 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: with gas. I actually think it makes him more valuable 488 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: on the open market when he can just say I 489 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 1: know exactly how this guy works. I don't have to 490 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 1: even think about it because when he's gone to Patricia 491 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: and obviously Bill O'Brien, they're completely screwed. But when he 492 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: has Josh, who is an awful head coach right just 493 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: like Belichick, without him as the offensive coordinator, they're gonna 494 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,439 Speaker 1: have issues. But you put those two together. I mean, hell, 495 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, they took Mac Jones to 496 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: the playoffs. They made the playoffs with the rookie Mac Jones. 497 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: Think about that. So I wouldn't count Belichick like his 498 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: career is just over. He's proving it on defense. Think 499 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: how many teams right now would give anything for a 500 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: guy like that to influence their defense how many teams 501 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 1: who are just putrid on that side of the ball. 502 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: The Lions think of what the Lions would do to 503 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: just have him just give them some tips on how 504 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: to improve, and they got no clue. I mean, they're 505 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 1: just at any moment, you can score like twenty one 506 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 1: points on the Lions in like a blink of an eye. 507 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: That's why that you feel less and less confident about 508 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,919 Speaker 1: them when the playoffs are, you know, coming around the corner. 509 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: But if Belichick's a coach next year, Josh mcdam is 510 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: gonna be his offensive coordinator, I'd put that bad boy 511 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,199 Speaker 1: in sharpie. The other team, the Jets. You know, you 512 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: saw Flacco who just showed up off the couch throwing 513 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: some deep The guy's always throwing a beautiful deepole. Listen, 514 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, great hair, can't move, beautiful deepole. That's what 515 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: I think when I close my eyes and think of 516 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco and yesterday you just let's be real. You 517 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: watch the Eagles and Niner game. It was hard to 518 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: keep an eye on everything else, But I had a 519 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: little screen going. I'd peek over there, everyone's all and 520 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,679 Speaker 1: that ball would just loop out, just like God Flacco 521 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: can still sling that thing. But the Jets rolled into 522 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: the season and I said it early on, and listen, 523 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson had like a game and a half stretch 524 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 1: where you're like, god, he's kind of capable, and then 525 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: he just resorted back to shit. He'zac. They tried to 526 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: have their cake and eat it too. Someone in the 527 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 1: NFL in the know around the Jets was like, we 528 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: were done. He was done, Like he was not coming back. 529 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it was kind of public as well, right, 530 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 1: Zack Wilson was not gonna be on the team. But 531 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: then the Aaron Rodgers situation, you know, kind of played 532 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: out and Aaron's like, you know, I kind of like 533 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,199 Speaker 1: the guy. I'll help him out, and then he just 534 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: they kind of kept him around. But I say it 535 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: all the time. It's one thing if you got a 536 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: backup wide receiver you can mix another guy's or a 537 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: backup d lineman. When that is your backup quarterback, you 538 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: are one Achilles stare from that guy becoming your starter. 539 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: And of course it wasn't utter debacle. And now they're 540 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: talking about potentially putting him back in the lineup. Listen, 541 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: these guys are probably gonna survive simply because of Aaron Rodgers. 542 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: But and I want to like Robert Sala as a 543 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,640 Speaker 1: head coach because I loved him as a defensive coordinator. 544 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: I like him as a guy. It's pretty ugly, man, 545 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 1: it really is. Nathaniel Hackett without Aaron Rodgers is might 546 00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 1: as well be Joe Judge or Matt Patricia. I mean, 547 00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 1: he he's fucking terrible, has absolutely no clue what to do. 548 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: Their personnel has issues. It's so easy to say, well, 549 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: we'll just wait till twenty twenty four and Aaron Rodgers 550 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 1: gets back. We say this a lot with the draft, 551 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,439 Speaker 1: like Todd Bowles, just just get to twenty twenty four 552 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 1: and draft a quarterback who or whoever the bad team is. Well, 553 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: you have to go through that season where it's pretty ugly, right, 554 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,959 Speaker 1: and once you start watching it on a weekly basis, 555 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,439 Speaker 1: is like the Jets. That's about as shitty as a 556 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 1: football team in terms of watching, right there with the Patriots. 557 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: But at least, I mean the Patriots might draft number 558 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 1: one overall. I think they have like a fifty to 559 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: fifty shot to have the number one overall pick. Right 560 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: to me, the Panthers are gonna end up winning a 561 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: game or two. Patriots cannot move the ball that they 562 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: definitely can't score any points that they get even close 563 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: in the red zone, no chance, So it's hard for 564 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: them to even to get there. Like I do think 565 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: the Panthers, you're gonna look up and they're gonna have 566 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: a weird win. It would not shock me at all 567 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,040 Speaker 1: if the Patriots gets the number one overall pick. But 568 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: the Jets, Like, the Jets are gonna win five or 569 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: six games, and you're like, that might as well have 570 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: been a two win team. They fucking suck. So anytime 571 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: that you suck that bad in your one excuse as well, 572 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: Rogers has an achilles. Well that's great. Are we confident 573 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: at all that you guys know what you're doing, that 574 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: you guys that Robert as a head coach, Nathaniel Hackett 575 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: as a play caller, Do you guys know what you're doing? 576 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: Because I do think it's fair to say, like you 577 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: watch them and go, yeah, they don't know what they're 578 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: doing at all, Like there's not much faith, So it's 579 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: getting really ugly. I think we can also put to 580 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: rest the conversation that Caleb Williams is up in the 581 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: air about what he's gonna do with his decision in 582 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: terms of declaring for the National Football League, and I 583 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: think it's pretty clear he's gonna be the number one 584 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: pick in the draft. Drake May was not good the 585 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: second half of the season that he officially opted out 586 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: of the bowl game, which to me, I'm number to that. 587 00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: What do the bowl games even mean? Beside honestly the 588 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: two playoff games. I think the bowl games have lost 589 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: so much luster. Remember when that was a conversation like 590 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 1: he opted out of the bowl game, and now it's 591 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: like do any of these bowl games matter? Does anyone 592 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: give a shit? Hell? Have? These guys don't even opt 593 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: out of the ball game. They go to the transfer portal. 594 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: You look up this morning, You're like, Ohio State's quarterback 595 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: is in the transfer portal, Like, didn't you just start 596 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: on an eleven to one team? And then clearly Ryan 597 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: Day and the coaching staff is like, you're not starting 598 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: here next year, bro, or maybe they already know they 599 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: got cam Ward. It's kind of crazy, the musical chairs 600 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: that goes on with a college football transfer portal, which 601 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: most of the players I can't even pretend to care 602 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: about the quarterback thing is pretty interesting, like where they 603 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: all go. And obviously it has a huge influence Bo Nicks, 604 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: Michael Pennix. Right, you see these players, you know, influence 605 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: the playoff race. Yours at Texas originally started at Ohio State. 606 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: But Kayleb Williams not playing the bowl game, of course 607 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: he's not. I mean I don't even holiday Bowl. I 608 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: wouldn't play either, But he's going to the NFL Draft. Like, 609 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: we need to stop having this conversation. We need to 610 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: start stop this kind of you know, he's in LA, 611 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: maybe he's close to Lebron, you know, playing it up, 612 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: you know, creating some drama like, Bro, you're going to 613 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: the NFL. It's okay, Like just just say it. It's 614 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 1: it's it's not gonna kill you. Like, just just get 615 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: it over with. You don't need to do this dog 616 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 1: and pony show, you know, leak stuff out, don't say anything. 617 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: We all know it, and rightfully so you've earned it. You're, 618 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: you know, an excellent prospect. Excited to watch you know, 619 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: the whole process play out in terms of the going 620 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: to the combine, the interviews, the whole thing. But it's 621 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 1: just one of those stories that It's like I can't 622 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 1: It's like the Rogers making us comeback. I can't take 623 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: that story. I there are certain stories that are just 624 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: like I immediately either change the channel or keep scrolling. It's like, yeah, 625 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: I'm not paying any attention. So this will be the 626 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 1: last time we discussed Caleb Williams on the fence about 627 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: declaring for the NFL unless he actually goes back to USC, 628 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: which in what world would he go back to that team? 629 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: I mean, that would be the crazy story. It's like, wait, 630 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: you're going back to that team. Like I understood when 631 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: certain guys returned to school, like last your Pennix or 632 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: bow Nix or you know, if JJ McCarthy returns to 633 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: Michigan or whatever. You like, Yeah, your team's really good. 634 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: Totally understand it. At USC team, they're fucking terrible. I 635 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 1: said at the moment he came back, like kamr is 636 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: gonna be their quarterback moving forward. I mean, I don't 637 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: think people quite understand. I played golf today with a 638 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: guy that had played for the Cardinals back when Bidwell 639 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: took over, you know, in the mid to late two thousands, 640 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: and we were just disgusting just how cheap you know 641 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: and the Cardinals still to this day, or you know 642 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: that that Players Association survey that came out about how 643 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: they charge you took for to go boxes. I mean 644 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: when I worked in the NFL for the first couple 645 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: of years in the office, I lived on to go boxes. 646 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: If they would have charged me, Jeffreylewry would have taken 647 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: thousands of dollars from me. So the Cardinals, from a 648 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 1: cheapskates standpoint, are nonumber one in the NFL. It ain't 649 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: even close. So if you think that this owner paid 650 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 1: this guy signing bonuses, paid him a lot of money 651 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 1: to trade him, you're crazy, especially when, like let's face it, 652 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 1: there is a lot to work with Kyler Murray. Now, 653 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: you know, winning some of these games when you have 654 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 1: your quarterback, winning and losing when you suck doesn't matter 655 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: as much. It much more impacts you if you want 656 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: to draft one of the high quarterbacks. So it's a 657 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 1: big deal, especially you know they're two and two with 658 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Like I said earlier, So if I'm a 659 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 1: Cardinal fan, we just need to get a lot more 660 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 1: talent around this team because we don't have that much. 661 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: It's more just the Steelers. Don't know what's going on there, 662 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: but I think Kyler has had a very very positive 663 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 1: return from a football standpoint. Looks healthy, that the team 664 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: has just a lot of positivity around them, not that 665 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: negativity last year with Cliff, the call of duty contract, 666 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 1: just everything surrounding the operation. Say what you want about him, 667 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: they do. They feel like the polar opposite right now. Now. 668 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: Obviously they're playing with house money, zero expectation. No one 669 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: expects them to win a game. They're huge underdogs every 670 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 1: time they play. But I would say it's been a 671 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 1: positive step. One thing that has not been a positive 672 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: step has been the Derek Carr New Orleans experience. I 673 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 1: don't know if I thought he'd be good, but I 674 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 1: definitely thought he'd just be, you know, middle of the 675 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: road starting quarterback. Their team's pretty talented, they're gonna go 676 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: ten and seven division sucks. He's just gonna be solid. Now. 677 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 1: He ended up having a good third quarter before he 678 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 1: got knocked out for the second time this season. I 679 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: think it's a second concussion. He threw three touchdowns or 680 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 1: I think he accounted for three touchdown. I don't know 681 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: if he threw for them all, but they got right 682 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: back in the game, and it was like twenty eight 683 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:45,359 Speaker 1: twenty one, after getting their ass kicked early, but through 684 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,839 Speaker 1: the first half when they were just beyond putrid. He's 685 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 1: getting booed someone. A bunch of people hit me up 686 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: on social media like why don't they just go to Jamis? 687 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: And then I looked up his contract. They gave him 688 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 1: a forty million dollar guarantee. They essentially are gonna give 689 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: him sixty million dollars over two years. His dead cat 690 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 1: next year is really high. They can't cut him, like 691 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:07,240 Speaker 1: he's on their team now and he's just not very good. 692 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 1: And I think sometimes like this is where I respect 693 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: the guys that are polarizing, like Cousins and Dak are 694 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 1: good examples because for a long time, Derek kind of 695 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: hovered in that group Jimmy Garoppolo did earlier in their career. 696 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins stayed at that level, and you could argue 697 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 1: this year was like his best years of his career. 698 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell's like, I've never seen this guy play that well, 699 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: and he's watched him play forever. Dak Prescott continues to 700 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,800 Speaker 1: get better, Like it sounds cliche, it sounds stupid. It 701 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: sounds something like a coach would say, but it's fucking true. 702 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: You either improve or you get worse. Nobody in football 703 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: stays the same over the course of years, right, So 704 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: you either trending up or trending down, and car just starts. 705 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 1: He's been trending down, Like I thought last year was 706 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: more like Josh McDaniel's outlier situation. You watch him this year, 707 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 1: he doesn't look that good. And I'm saying this as 708 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 1: someone who's known him since he was a senior in 709 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 1: high school. But he's just not that good to a 710 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 1: player anymore for whatever reason, doesn't want to get hit, 711 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 1: lost his confidence. I don't know. I don't have the 712 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 1: uh like, I can't pinpoint it. I just know from 713 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 1: watching the guy's career, his since college through the Raiders. 714 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 1: You watch him play for the Saints, you're like, this 715 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 1: is not a very good player right now. And internally, 716 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:27,360 Speaker 1: when you make a move, listen, you missed on free agents. 717 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,840 Speaker 1: It's part of football, right because a lot of the 718 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 1: times when you sign a free agent, that guy's a 719 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: free agent for a reason, like the Aaron Judges and 720 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 1: Lebron James and Kevin Durantz and these players in these 721 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 1: other sports that hit free they never hit free agency 722 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 1: in the NFL, and if they do, it's usually because 723 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,799 Speaker 1: it's toward the end of their career. Right Like Tom 724 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,959 Speaker 1: Brady hit free agency he was forty two years old. 725 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,360 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning hit free agency. They didn't think his neck worked. 726 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 1: It's usually like, God, can you believe that Aaron Donald 727 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,759 Speaker 1: that twenty seven hit free agency. Like that's just not 728 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 1: the way the NFL works. So when you sign a 729 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 1: free agent, there's a lot of risk involved, right, It's 730 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 1: why usually a lot of the top guys the do 731 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: change teams through trade, DeVante Tyreek, Khalil Mack back in 732 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 1: the day, like players like that. Looking back, Derek was legitimate, 733 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 1: had a lot of baggage and had a lot of 734 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 1: red flags, and he was a free agent for a reason. 735 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,399 Speaker 1: He was you know, say what you want about Josh 736 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 1: mc daniels. He shorted him and he might have been right. 737 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,279 Speaker 1: And I would say, based on what we've seen this year, 738 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 1: he was right, and the Saints are Dennis Allen isn't 739 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 1: a very good coach, so it's not all on Derek. 740 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: I don't think Dennis has any clue what he's doing 741 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:39,800 Speaker 1: and he's gonna get fired at the end of the season. 742 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: But Derek has played a role in that him losing 743 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 1: his job for sure. Okay, let's get up to our 744 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 1: Morgan and Morgan player. That made it look easy if 745 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 1: you're going to talk as much shit as Deebo talked 746 00:37:56,160 --> 00:38:00,239 Speaker 1: since the Super Bowl and Debo went to this Super 747 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 1: Bowl and did the media rounds like he was. You know, 748 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 1: older players typically do the media rounds and they hit 749 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:10,200 Speaker 1: everything like Dan Marino for you know whatever, old person 750 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 1: Viagra or Nutritia or whatever the hell he's pushing, Joe Montana, 751 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 1: our friends, a Guinness, you know, stuff like that. They 752 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 1: hit everybody that they don't discriminate whether you're Coward, Dan 753 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 1: Patrick or a local radio show in South Dakota. They 754 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 1: are pushing that product. Usually the younger players, like if 755 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 1: I'm still in the league, I get paid a lot 756 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 1: of money from Company X, and I just hit the 757 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 1: big boys, right, I get my fifty one hundred whatever 758 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 1: eighty K and I do like six or seven and 759 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 1: I get out of there and I'm wherever the super 760 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 1: Bowl is, Like, I go out that night with my girlfriend, 761 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: my boys, party hangout. Deebo treated that thing like he 762 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 1: was a nineteen seventies Hall of Famer anyone with the mic. 763 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you what I gotta say, and what 764 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 1: I gotta say is I think the Eagles secondary stink. 765 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,800 Speaker 1: I think James Bradberry couldn't cover me in a phone booth. 766 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: I don't think they got a snowballs chance in hell 767 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,720 Speaker 1: to slow us down. And a lot of people, rightfully 768 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 1: Sow were like, sour graves man, Deebo, you gotta wear 769 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,759 Speaker 1: this one. And Deebo never backed down. He never shut 770 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: up about it all off season, all season and leading 771 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,240 Speaker 1: up to the game. They went right to his locker 772 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,279 Speaker 1: Monday of this week because the Niners played on the 773 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: Thursday of Thanksgiving. They had practice on Monday and all 774 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 1: the reporters are in there and they're like, Deebo, anything 775 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 1: to say about you know what you said for the 776 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 1: last nine months. I take nothing back? Like he did 777 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,880 Speaker 1: in no comment. He was like, say what I said, 778 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 1: I stand on it. It's like God, Debo, you know, 779 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:45,839 Speaker 1: I know you can back it up, but ken your 780 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,399 Speaker 1: team to go in that game, to have three touchdowns 781 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: and to essentially dance on their graves and somewhat validate 782 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:57,280 Speaker 1: everything you said, Like James Bradbury can't cover these guys, 783 00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 1: the safeties, the linebackers, they got no shot, like they 784 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 1: got no shot, but most specifically Debo, they don't got 785 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 1: an answer. And he's a serious problem for them because 786 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 1: the way Kyle uses him, he's not like ultimately like 787 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 1: aj Madson plays, the safety's gonna miss some tackles, but 788 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,880 Speaker 1: like you can double him because he's just running rounds. 789 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,319 Speaker 1: Depo gets the half. His touches are like coming in 790 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:25,360 Speaker 1: the backfield end a rounds quick screens. It's just more difficult, 791 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 1: it's just more unique that way. But to back it 792 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: up like that in Philly with a big smile on 793 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:37,240 Speaker 1: his face, Fly deebo Fly. So that was my Morgan 794 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:38,920 Speaker 1: and Morgan player. That make it look easy. If you're 795 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,839 Speaker 1: ever injured, you can check out Morgan and Morgan. Their 796 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 1: fee is free unless they win.
