00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: got the popo coming after him. Also, my man Stucky

00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: every Thursday picking four games. I like his picks. This week.

25
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: I think, Uh, I haven't gambled in a couple of

26
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: weeks because I lost so much money the first three

27
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: weeks on college, the NFL and then even when I

28
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: went to Vegas. But I you know, I think I'm

29
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: gonna get back on the horse this week. I think

30
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get back on the horse with with a

31
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: couple of picks. So let's roll. But before we dive

32
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: into the game and some things that I saw and

33
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: some other football thoughts, I want to tell you about

34
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: my friends at turtle Box. I love my friends at

35
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: turtle Box because turtle Box is the loudest, most portable,

36
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: and truly waterproof. Look this thing looks fantastic, sounds fantastic

37
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 1: for those of you listening, uh most portable bluetooth speaker

38
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: on the market. It features ultralong battery life, so you'll

39
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: never have to worry about music dying out, you know,

40
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: barbecuing tailgating, hanging with your boys, maybe playing some golf,

41
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: doing whatever. All of a sudden your music runs out.

42
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: That sucks. You don't have to worry about that with

43
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: Turtlebox because of the battery life. And even better, they're

Speaker 1: we'll get into the Commanders and Dan Snyder in a second.

56
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: But first, Like, I love the Draft. I'm sure a

57
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: lot of people in the NFL and fans of this

58
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: podcast love the draft as well. College football is our

59
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: second biggest sport, and I think one reason that the

60
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: NFL draft is so big because so many people watch

61
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: college football. So when there are huge, huge stars coming out,

62
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: we've seen them play. Right. When Tool was coming out,

63
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: we had watched him play, Trevor Lawrence, Andrew Luck, but

64
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: even the position players, right, we saw Jamar Chase play

65
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: at the highest level. All the Alabama wide receivers this year,

66
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: Will Anderson last year, Aidan Hutchinson. It's fun. When I

67
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: was a kid, the NBA draft was really really big

68
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: because college basketball was massive. We saw Shaq play, we

69
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: saw Grand Hill play, we saw Alan Iverson. That adds

70
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: the intrigue. Now, not everyone is just some can't miss prospect. Right.

71
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, Trevor Lawrence was the golden child.

72
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: Then there were four other guys that we all argued about,

73
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson, Trey Lance, who none of us really saw

74
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: unless you went to YouTube. Now, granted, YouTube is pretty big,

75
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: so a lot of you did. Justin Fields and Mac Jones,

76
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: and let's not get it twisted. Playing quarterback is about

77
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: more than just physical attributes. But it is not arguable

78
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: in my opinion that Justin Fields, if I take Trevor

79
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: Lawrence out of it, he's a number one pick and

80
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: basically any draft, but relative to definitely his class. He

81
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: is the most physically gifted of the bunch. As you

82
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: saw tonight, he is lightning quick as you out of night.

83
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: On the deep ball that he hit for the touchdown

84
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: to Dante Pettis, former Niner, bust, beautiful ball, big time arm.

85
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: We know he's got a big time arm. He can

86
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: really run. He's a very very gifted, talented a lot

87
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: of great physical attributes. Now playing quarterback is about more

88
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: than that. Like I said, I think he's a more

89
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: the most physically gifted of the bunch. Mac Jones would

90
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: be the worst. We can argue over Trey and Zack Wilson,

91
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: but I think Justin Field has more physical characteristics. Now

92
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean he's a better player. He's got a

93
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: long way to go. As you watched him to night,

94
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: you can separate like in a vacuum. His game needs

95
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: some work right. It feels like he's too slow to

96
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: process things happen. He holds onto the ball, he takes

97
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: sacks that aren't necessarily always on the offensive line, though

98
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: he plays with a terrible offensive line. But it's pretty clear.

99
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: It's been well documented. If you follow different like nerdy

100
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: football people. He's kind of been a disaster, and you

101
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: can see signs of that, but you can also see

102
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: signs on the beautiful deep ball on the run, like

103
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: this guy's got a lot of talent now, talent that

104
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: doesn't materialize into playing well gets coaches and GM's fired.

105
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: So he's got a long way to go. Not disputable though,

106
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: the gifts that it's not even arguable if you watch

107
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: that game, and I commend you if you did, because

108
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: that was not an easy game to watch. Now, here's

109
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: the thing. And we talked so much about height and

110
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: arm strength and athletic ability, and rightfully so about quarterbacks.

111
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: Toughness is something that you can't measure. I can measure

112
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: how far you can throw a ball. I can measure

113
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: that justin Fields runs a four four one. I can

114
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: measure how much he weighs right, two fifteen pounds or whatever.

115
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: I can't measure how tough you are. And in the

116
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: history of the league, and definitely since I've been watching

117
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: it for thirty plus years, a lot of quarterbacks succeed

118
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: and fail fail because of an intangible characteristic and it's toughness.

119
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: And we talked so much about offensive line, how tough

120
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: you are, linebackers, how tough you are slot receivers, Julian Edelman,

121
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: Wes Welker, they'd go over the middle, tough s O

122
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: B s George Kittle breaking tackles, Richard Sherman, Cam Chancellor, tough, tough, tough.

123
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: We don't talk about it often at quarterback, yet you're

124
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: sitting there in your position. You take three, five, seven

125
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: step drops as these mammoth human beings are coming at you,

126
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: and depending on how good your offensive line are, sometimes

127
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: they don't get touched. And if you followed the draft process,

128
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: these defensive linemen over the last several years have been

129
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: great athletes. They have been elite talents, and they are

130
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: getting on you, hitting you within seconds. Tonight I learned

131
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: a lot about justin Fields. He is a tough motherfucker.

132
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: He got peppered over and over and over again and

133
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: kept getting up and sometimes slower than others. I mean

134
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: you would too if you're getting slammed in the ground

135
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: by a three pound guy. But it's easy to get up.

136
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: And I think this parallels anything in life. It's easy

137
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: to kind of pick yourself up off the ground when

138
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: things are going well. For the last ten years, most

139
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: of our industries making money. Trajectory up. What's this next

140
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: year gonna look like? Probably gonna be pretty tough. Hell,

141
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,679
Speaker 1: it's tough right now. You ever opened the stock market

142
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: in the morning, usually pretty ugly. See the housing market

143
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: coming back to earth. It's easy even when you have

144
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: a bad day to pick yourself up when times are good.

145
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: How about when times are shitty and the bear suck

146
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: they're not good. He's losing the night on a short week,

147
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: getting his ass kicked inside a pocket because his offensive

148
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: lineman can't block for him, guys can't get open, and

149
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: maybe he can't see him. But every single time he's

150
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: on the ground, shakes himself off and gets up, and

151
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: then at the end of the game, has an incredible run,

152
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: makes a couple good throws, might have been p I

153
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: his wide receivers drop it like he made winning place

154
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: now becoming a good player. He's got a long way

155
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: to go, but he's got a lot to work with,

156
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: and he's a young player, and he's truly physically gifted,

157
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: and he has the toughness, so I am not going

158
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: to give up on him. Up. I came away from

159
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: the night even with some of the struggles. Pretty impressed,

160
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: and a lot of it has that can do with

161
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: the intangible thing that has been the reason so many

162
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the history of the league have failed. They

163
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: didn't want the smoke. Fields took it and got back

164
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: right up every time the night so I called me

165
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: impressed on the Commanders. Two things stood out first and foremost,

166
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: the story about the owner that came out today. I

167
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: don't blame you if you didn't read it. I read.

168
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: I skimmed a quarter of it. We've all seen the highlights.

169
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: I didn't need Seth Wickersham, who I like a lot,

170
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: to give me some long article that Dan Snyder's a loser, scumbag.

171
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: Nobody likes them. We know now. The details are funny.

172
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: The Mafia comments the I got dirt on everyone that

173
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: was enjoyable. Al Michaels is a made man in the NFL.

174
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: He is in with the league. The league wants al

175
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: Michaels to be on their biggest games. If you are

176
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: a play by play guy on the A team, Joe Buck,

177
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: al Michaels, Uh Jim Nance, you are in quote unquote,

178
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: as Dan Snyder would tell you, the mob. The league

179
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: wants you in that position. Why the league is a

180
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: television product. It's how they make their money eyeballs on

181
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: the games. So they want their best broadcasters basically running point,

182
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: and that is al Michaels, who is one of the

183
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: most historic play by played guys ever, Joe Buck, who's

184
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: kind of the modern day version of like all those guys,

185
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: and Jim Nance, who's been doing it forever. They placed

186
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: those guys there. If they didn't want him there, they

187
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: would not be there now. Al Nance is obviously older

188
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: and Joe, But how's the elder statesman. I mean, he

189
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: ain't that far away from Adi. Al Michaels plays golf

190
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: with probably the most powerful people in America. He hangs

191
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: out with owners. So on the broadcast, when al Michaels

192
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 1: drops a you know, it's of my opinion that the

193
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: NFL would like Dan Snyder to sell the team. They

194
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: don't want to have to vote him out, they would

195
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: like him to sell the team. That's a pretty big

196
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: red flag. Al Michaels isn't just saying that. Now you

197
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: can say John, he's old, he doesn't give a ship anymore.

198
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: Maybe he doesn't care games terrible, he's bored he's just

199
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: given his opinion. I'm calling bs. I'm not saying they

200
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: told him to say that. My point is he knows

201
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: that's the way they feel. Why he's boys with Jerry,

202
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: He he's boys with Roger, He's boys with the Marrows,

203
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: like these are his friends. They're obviously his business partners,

204
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: but that's who he hangs out with. Those are the

205
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: circles he runs with Dan Snyder. I don't know how

206
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: this whole thing is gonna end, because we have seen

207
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: in the last several years, starting with Don Donald Sterling,

208
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: owner after owner after owner get forced out in weird

209
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: different ways. And once upon a time, even Donald Sterling,

210
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: who was hated, absolutely despised Mark Cuban, said, you know,

211
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: this is slippery slope. Remember Mark Cuban, never forget, wasn't

212
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: that comfortable with them kicking him out for the Vivian

213
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: Viviano Stiviano whatever the hell her name was, the silly rabbit,

214
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: the video that came out or the the audio that

215
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: came out. Because he's like, you just never know where

216
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: this is going. And since then, we've seen a lot

217
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: of different owners get kicked out, most of them I

218
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: think we all agree, not well liked and not exactly

219
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: like Jerry Jones or Dr Bust or Mark Cubans getting booted.

220
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: It's guys they wanted out anyway. But the Snyder things

221
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: a little different because I don't ever see him tapping

222
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: out and are they willing to vote him out when

223
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: some of these guys might be scared that he has

224
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: some dirt on him. Remember when the NFL launched an

225
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: investigation into the Commanders. Do you know what happened? The

226
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: Raiders lost their coach And think about that. The NFL

227
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: went after Dan Snyder and the internal workings of his business,

228
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: and Mark Davis had to fire his coach. That's not

229
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: nothing happened with the Commanders. Gruden lost his job. So

230
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: this thing, to me is going if they're truly gonna

231
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: go in on it, which it feels like they're getting

232
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: closer and closer, it's gonna be explosive because the one

233
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: thing any of us know, the vengeful, crazy guy that

234
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: just lives in their own world, in his own world,

235
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: that guy is scary to begin with. When that guy

236
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: is a lionaire and doesn't give a ship about anything,

237
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: he's really scary because he does not care and he

238
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 1: ain't worried about a damn thing. At least sometimes when

239
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: you live in your own world, you know, if you

240
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: have a job or whatever, you gotta gotta be careful

241
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: about certain things. What does Dan Snyder care about? So

242
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: I do believe, not necessarily that he has dirt on everybody,

243
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: but that he wouldn't hesitate trying to take people down,

244
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: you know, kind of like shotgun blasts. It's not just

245
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: one bullet. It kind of sprays, and he'll take down

246
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: anyone he can. I think he would be the type

247
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: guy that would be willing to do that. Now on

248
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: their football team, they are also like the Bears. God awful.

249
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: That was a tough watch. The only thing that I

250
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: really took away from that game is has any general

251
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: manager pivoted better off a disastrous quarterback contract? Then Howie

252
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: Roseman did getting rid of Carson Wentz. Let's face it,

253
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: and and Carson Wentz like once a pond of time

254
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: justin fields. Though Carson was much better on the field

255
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: now he played on better teams. But when Carson was good,

256
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: he was an m v P level player. That guy

257
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: is long gone. I mean that that visual you know,

258
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: your visuals like in a movie when the dudes in

259
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: the desert in like Vegas, or making the drive from

260
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: like l A to Vegas, and it's just middle of nowhere.

261
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: And as the car goes like the land gets smaller

262
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: and smaller, like that version of Carson Wentz is so

263
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:35,239
Speaker 1: far behind in the rear view mirror. It's stupid. He stinks.

264
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: He is not a good football player, and how he

265
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: wrote and a lot of times when you drafted a

266
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: guy high and then you paid him, you just kind

267
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: of go down with the ship right the Titanic sinking,

268
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: and you're like, you know what, this is my job.

269
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: Some very small few kind of feel about how do

270
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: I pivot? Look at Matt Ryan. They held onto Matt

271
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: Ryan for years too long, and now he stinks in

272
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: the house now the Colts have, But how he was

273
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: able to get rid of him. He's already on a

274
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: separate team from the team he traded them to and

275
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: had a backup contingency plan. Who's obviously turned out to

276
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: be a better player, because Jalen Hurts right now is

277
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: in a different universe than Carson Wentz. But Carson Wentz

278
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: now he was a little better. Last year is just

279
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: a complete disaster because you still view them like I'm

280
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: talking about justin fields. The difference is justin fields, like

281
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: two years old. Carson Wentz is like thirty, you know,

282
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: and on his fourth year of his second contract. Like

283
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: this thing is a sinking ship. You can't play with

284
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: this guy as your quarterback and expect to win. Not possible.

285
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: The Commanders are a god awful team. And I don't

286
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: think they're going anywhere. Obviously, Ron Rivera probably get fired

287
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: at the end of the year. Owner is just gonna

288
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: be fighting wars left and right. Uh, the Bears guide issues.

289
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: They have a long way to go, but at least

290
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: they are way more stable in a weird way than

291
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: the Commanders. You could argue the Commanders right now when

292
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: you factor in the owner, and you factor in an

293
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: inevitability of the of the coach losing his job. Who

294
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: knows by the time you listen to it, Maybe gets

295
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 1: fired on Friday, maybe last whole season, maybe gets filed

296
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: in the middle, fired to the middle of the year.

297
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: It's inevitable who's taking this job. Remember when Ron took

298
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: the job, he had just been fired by Temper. You

299
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: look at his resume, actually doesn't win that much, So

300
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: you know, Ron river is never getting another job if

301
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 1: Snyder somehow just keeps owning the team. At the end

302
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: of the year, they fire Ron Rivera. They're kind of

303
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: stuck with Carson in the Albatross contract, and they just

304
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: traded multiple third round picks for him. What are they doing? Like,

305
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: where are they going now? Who knows? Maybe they suck

306
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: enough to have the number one overall pick, but they

307
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: won't because hell, they're already whatever, what are they? Two

308
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,360
Speaker 1: and four? I mean, they're gonna end up with five

309
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: six wins. They they are not gonna be drafting in

310
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: the top five. This is gonna be the most undesirable job,

311
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: not just in the NFL, but I like all the

312
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: major colleges right Nebraska, Wisconsin, Like those type jobs are

313
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,959
Speaker 1: way more intriguing than this thing. This thing. It's why

314
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: I'm telling you keep an eye on Lane Kivin. I

346
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: of the weekend. Um And when I mean big, I

347
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: mean really really big games. One could be Game of

348
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: the year. Could have the two best teams in the

349
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs hosting the Buffalo Bills rematch. I mean they've played

350
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: like four times in the last two years. But I

351
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: wanted to start in the NFC East. Uh, Philadelphia used

352
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: to live. There been to many games of the link.

353
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: This place is gonna be rocking on Sunday night. And

354
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: I've been thinking a lot about these two teams. One

355
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: because the Eagles have just become a power. They are

356
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: really really good, and the Cowboys kind of have taken

357
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: a different route I think we all counted them out

358
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: and now they're good. But the thing I've been thinking

359
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: about with these two teams is their head coaches. Right,

360
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: Let's face it, I am as guilty as anyone. I

361
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 1: have made a ton of fund of Mike McCarthy, so

362
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: have you, so of most people over the last several years.

363
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: I don't think he's any good. And Nick Sirianni when

364
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 1: he got hired, we all made fun of him as

365
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: press conference and early on last year, like the first

366
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: half of the season, it didn't look that good. Figured

367
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: it out, got to nine and eight, made the playoffs.

368
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,239
Speaker 1: But let's face it, the seven seed is not the

369
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: same as historically making the playoffs. But he's still figured

370
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: it out and this year has not lost the game.

371
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: So basically, he's won fourteen games in two years through

372
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: seventeen plus you know, five twenty three games. He's doing

373
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: pretty good. And Mike McCarthy now twelve and five last

374
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 1: year and four and one, like, he's won sixteen games,

375
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: And I don't care. We're all kind of judged different

376
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 1: in our different industries. Right For those of you, if

377
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: you work in sales, you're judged how much you sell.

378
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: It's just it's very black and white. What is your quota?

379
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: How much you sell? You go above and beyond. In

380
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: my business, obviously I'm judged on how much revenue I generate,

381
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: But I generate that revenue by how many listens I get.

382
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: So the bigger my audience is, the more I can generate. Like,

383
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 1: that's how I'm judged. No one listens. We can't make

384
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: any money, and I suck. If you sell cars, you

385
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: don't sell any cars. You ain't gonna last long. Right.

386
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: If you're a surgeon and you're doing you're in knee surgeries.

387
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: My dad wants towards a c L and m c L.

388
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: You know he didn't ever need another surgery there. Well,

389
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,719
Speaker 1: if you're screwing up surgeries like, you're probably not very

390
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: good and you're not gonna keep your job for long.

391
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: In football, as a head coach, you are judged on

392
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: one thing and one thing only, relationships, your scheme, how

393
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: you talk to the press, whether you're skinny or fat.

394
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: No one gives a shit if you win. It's the

395
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: only way you're judged, wins and losses. And well, I'm

396
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 1: not necessarily I haven't pivoted on Mike McCarthy still not

397
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: a huge believer. I can't really dispute that. These last

398
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: two years he has been very successful, and he's done

399
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: in different ways. Right, He's done it with Dak Prescott,

400
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 1: he's doing it with Cooper Rush. Now you can push back.

401
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: If you hate the Cowboys, you go it's all dan Quinn.

402
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: Their defense has been really good this year. Last year

403
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: they had one of the best offense in the league.

404
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: Now you can say Johnny's not even the offensive play caller, true,

405
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: but ultimately he's the head coach. And when you're the

406
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: head coach, when you're the lead dog, when you're the CEO,

407
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: you get the praise and you get the blame. So

408
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: I gotta give the guy some credit. And Nick Sirianni, hell,

409
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: last year he gave up the play calling and this year,

410
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: like their team is dramatically better now. Howie Roseman plays

411
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: a role in it. They have an excellent roster, they

412
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: have an excellent team. They're good at the line of

413
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 1: scrimmage on offense and defensive lines. But it can't really disputed.

414
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni five and oh nine and eight fourteen wins

415
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: in seventeen games. Last year in five games this year

416
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: and right now he's five and oh and he would

417
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: be the one seed he wins this game. It's pretty

418
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: clear they're probably headed toward a thirteen or fourteen win season.

419
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: And sometimes when you give a prescott conference like Jim

420
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: tom Sula and once upon a time he forwarded in

421
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: a press conference, every single time he spoke, it was

422
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: easy to make fun of him. And the main reason

423
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: it was is because we watched his team and they stunk.

424
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: They were terrible. Right, so Nick seriality, I think he's

425
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: much better behind the mike, but it shows you how

426
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: pointless that exercise was to make a big deal of it.

427
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: And McCarthy, like, we all kind of think he's the

428
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: village idiot, and we all think Aaron Rodgers called him

429
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: a meathead, and I'm still not quite sure what he's doing.

430
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: He's the guy leading the church, like I saw Jason

431
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: Garrett lead the charge at different points in time if

432
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: his career couldn't win eight games. So you gotta give

433
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: these two head coaches a lot of credit. Obviously, these

434
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: two teams have a lot of talent. I think the

435
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: Eagles have more talent. I like the Eagles in this game,

436
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 1: but the Cowboys defensively are really really good. I mean

437
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons. Part of also developing and drafting a good team,

438
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: there's some luck involved, Like anyone can take Miles Garrett

439
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: number one or Nick Bosa number two, like those picks

440
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: we all can make. But can you draft really good

441
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: players in the third round? Can you draft really good

442
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: players in the fifth round? Like can you can you

443
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: find Richard Sherman in the fifth? Can you find George

444
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: Kittle in the fifth? Can you do that? Can you

445
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: build your team that way? Look at the Eagles, They

446
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 1: once upon a time drafted a guy in the seventh

447
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: round who was a rugby player from Australia and they've

448
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: turned him into one of the best left tackles in

449
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: the league. Development. That's a huge part about football, and

450
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: that's a huge uh. You get a lot of credit

451
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: for that as a head coach and as a coaching staff.

452
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: And right now, listen, I was never really out on Syrianni,

453
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: but he's impressive and McCarthy like, I can't just take

454
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: some huge dump all over his career because you know, well,

455
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: I all every single human shorter than this year. I

456
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: thought they were going to be terrible and that was

457
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: before Dak got hurt, and they're good. If they are

458
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: just competitive in this game, all be impressed. I like

459
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: the Eagles in this game. I think the places are

460
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: gonna be going nuts. We've been worse to watch for

461
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: those of us that don't live in the Northeast, a

462
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: lot of NFC East football over the years because of

463
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: the markets. And listen, I'm a businessman, I get it,

464
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: but I'm glad that the Eagles Cowboys isn't just a

465
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: market play. It's like, no, this game really matters. And

466
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: speaking of a game that really really matters, it would

467
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: have to be the number one game to start the

468
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: season on paper bills at the Chiefs And the reason

469
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: the NFL is so much bigger than every sports league

470
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: from a revenue standpoint, from a TV viewer audience standpoint,

471
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: it's the number one reality television show in this country.

472
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: It's the thing we all agree that, like, yeah, twenty

473
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: seven million people are all watching this game at the

474
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 1: same time. Listen, you go anywhere in society, everyone's arguing,

475
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: no one agrees you think this. I think that, you

476
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: think that, I think this. You put an NFL game

477
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: on while sit down and watch it together. Now we

478
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: might disagree on who's good, who's bad. This guy can coach,

479
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: but we all agreed this is a great product. And

480
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 1: when it comes to box office, I've been saying this

481
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: for as long as I've been talking. Tom Brady and

482
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning were the Magic and Larry Bird of my

483
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: generation because of what they meant for the rocket ship

484
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: that is now the NFL. Now it's different. The NBA

485
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: was much more dependent on Magic and Larry because their

486
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 1: business was in shambles. They created the business basically and

487
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 1: made it mainstream, made it possible in the NBA didn't

488
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 1: look back for a long period of time. The NFL

489
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: was already massive when Brady and Manning became a rival.

490
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: But once you get the greatest quarterback of all time,

491
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: with the top five quarterback of all time, to become

492
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: legitimate rivals who play every single year. And this was

493
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: when I was in college. None of us missed it.

494
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: Oh the pastor playing the Colts. I'm watching, and usually

495
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 1: it was Sunday night football, Monday night football, all the

496
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: big game, you know, if it was in the afternoon

497
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: Sims and Nance, and it was, you know, one of

498
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: the biggest games on paper. Every single year. And that

499
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: is what I think we have with these two guys.

500
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: And what's unique is clearly they're kind of friends. Right

501
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: in the match against Brady and Rogers golf wise, they

502
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: played together. I watched probably too much of it because

503
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: it was pretty terrible. They clearly get along. They are

504
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: like minded, high level guys. And you know the thing

505
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: with Tom and Peyton is both of them are huge.

506
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: If you've ever been around him, Peyton Manning is almost

507
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: six ft six, so is Tom Brady. They are enormous men.

508
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's really big. If you ever saw him in person,

509
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: I never have, but he is every bit that old

510
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: school quarterback massive the differences he can run Moms isn't

511
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: as big. The weird part about with Mahomes he actually

512
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: feels more like a common guy who can just sling it,

513
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: like Dan Marino or Brett Farve than some of these

514
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: other like Cam Newton, Josh Allen's. But the best part

515
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: about a rival reading me is when it's organic, when

516
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: it just naturally takes shape. Sometimes it's geographical, right Ohio State, Michigan,

517
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,959
Speaker 1: the San Francsco Giants against the l A Dodgers, Auburn

518
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: Alabama Duke North Carolina. Obviously, rivalries are just built in geographically,

519
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: and then there are some other ones that just like

520
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: because you're in their division or because you play a lot,

521
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: we just end up hating you. My favorite rivalry in

522
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: the NBA recently was the Warriors and the Houston Rockets.

523
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: I despised James Harden and then they got Chris Paul

524
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: hated him more. Then they got Russell Westbrook. It was

525
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: Taylor made Darryl Moorey always acting like he was better

526
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: than you with his analytics and his numbers. Yet every

527
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: single time, the Warriors would beat him every single time,

528
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: and it was just a fantastic organic rivalry. The Bills

529
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: in Chiefs while they're in the same conference, Like, let's face,

530
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: I've been watching football now thirty plus years, They've never

531
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: really mattered, it felt like at the same time, at

532
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: least not in the last twenty five years. And now

533
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: to get these two quarters backs that feel like the

534
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: best two players in the league. When you go who

535
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: are the best two players in the league right now,

536
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: my first reaction would be Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen.

537
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: Now I understand that Aaron Rodgers won back to back

538
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: n VPS, and he's been arguably the best player in

539
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: the league last couple of years, and he still might be.

540
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: But I think it's if anyone wants to say Patrick Mahomes,

541
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, I canna argue with you. And then when

542
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: you factor in Andy Reid's gonna go down as one

543
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,479
Speaker 1: of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. His one of

544
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: his disciples, Sean McDermott, is now running the Bills. They

545
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: already had kind of a historic moment happened in the

546
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: playoffs where Josh Allen throws for five touchdowns. They take

547
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: the lead with fourteen thirteen seconds left. Somehow the trio

548
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: of three Hall of famers Mahomes, Kelsey and Hill work

549
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: the ball far enough in two plays to get Buttker

550
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: in position and have a walk off field goal. Like

551
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: part of building a rivalry when you're not like in

552
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: a geographical setup is to have an important thing happened,

553
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: especially in the playoffs. So I think we're often running

554
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: on this. I from a game blink perspective, would take

555
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the points just because they're at home.

556
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: But all I know, have your popcorn ready, have a

557
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: cocktail ready, have your pizza order. You don't want to

558
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: miss a snap of this bad boy, because we saw

559
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: for years with the Colts and the Patriots, you never

560
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: know what could happen. And usually the regular season game

561
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: is just a precursor to the playoffs. And what's cool

562
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: about the football in the NFL is when both teams

563
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: become powerhouses, the Chiefs and the Bills. As long as

564
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: they stay good, as long as these two quarterbacks stay healthy,

565
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna play each other every single year moving forward,

566
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: every single year they're gonna play each other, and then

567
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: hopefully we get a second round in the playoffs. Because

568
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: I think right now, I don't even know how this

569
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: game is gonna look. You can convince me the Bills

570
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: win this game by ten. You can convince me the

571
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs win this game by a touchdown. But all I

572
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: care about is we get this game in January. That's

573
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: what the league wants. And this is kind of like,

574
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, the opening Act, and luckily it's Josh Mahomes.

575
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: Just doesn't get any better, can't wait? Um, I think

576
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: you know the Chiefs, they're going through a pretty crazy stretch.

577
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: Two year weeks ago, it was Brady kind of the

578
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: rematch from the Super Bowl last week Monday Night Football

579
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: against Arrival in the Raiders. Now they're playing the Bills

580
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: and the next week they're playing the forty Niners. Like,

581
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: if they're able to go three and one in that stretch,

582
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say there they could go

583
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: fourteen and three. And if you tell me the Bills

584
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: win this game, you convince me they go like fourteen

585
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: and two. Now at the end of the day, regardless

586
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: what happens in this game on Sunday, you convince both

587
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: these two teams are probably I think it's probably a

588
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: little easier for the Bills to get the fourteen wins

589
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs, you know, sometimes they can kind of

590
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: pick their spots. Maybe they're cool, which is getting to

591
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: twelve and thirteen and they're cool, you know, not getting

592
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: the number one overall seed, but now you know, not

593
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: having the second seed doesn't give you the buy in

594
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: the first round. It is a little bit more important.

595
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: So you could say, big picture, it's very important from

596
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: a from a by standpoint, because that's what these two

597
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: teams are playing for. It's weird, obviously the Chiefs. The

598
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs are in this weird kind of place as an

599
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: organization where it's super Bowl or bust, like that's really

600
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: all my homes and and you are playing for. You know,

601
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: the Bills, like, let's just get to a super Bowl. Obviously,

602
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: they've never won one. They have some historic losses early

603
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: on in the nineties, like that, they gotta get over them.

604
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: The Chiefs already have, They've been back to another that

605
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: their entire goal. I would say them, obviously, Tom Brady.

606
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: Maybe the Packers, like anything less than a super Bowl

607
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: appearance is a disappointment. I can't quite go that far

608
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: with the Bills, but it does feel like with how

609
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: talented their team is, how well Josh is playing, how

610
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: explosive their offense is, how dynamic their defensive pass rushes,

611
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,479
Speaker 1: you know, they're not far away from saying that they

612
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: just got to do it first before you feel good

613
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: about them, but I'm just I'm excited. And then, last,

614
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: but not least, the Giants. Um listen, Brian day Ball

615
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: has been exceptional this year. If you would have told

616
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: me at the beginning of the season that going into

617
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: this game the Giants would have a better record the Ravens,

618
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: I would have said, put down the crack pipe, Like

619
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: no chance, but they do, and they've you know, they've

620
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: had some you know they beat the Commanders, right, they've

621
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: they beat the Bears. But you beat the Packers across

622
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 1: the pond. Even if the Packers turned out to be

623
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 1: a ten win team, like, that's a good win, especially

624
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 1: when you're down seventeen nothing and they got Aaron fucking Rogers.

625
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: So to me, you can't take away that win. You

626
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: can't go, well, the Packers, No, that is an impressive win,

627
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: and we can play that game well, you know the

628
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 1: Dolphins and uh, you know this game the Texans and

629
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were. Now, it's pretty clear when you get

630
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: a good win in a bad win like last week

631
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: the Ravens against the Bengals, that's a good win. Anytime

632
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: you beat a division rival and their quarterback is Joe Burrow,

633
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: that's a good win. I don't care what it looks like,

634
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: no different than last week on the road because I've

635
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 1: seen a lot of people, and a lot of people

636
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: are naturally gonna do it well. The Packers aren't. No,

637
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: that was a good win. And here's the other thing

638
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, I'm not really buying the Giants and

639
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily then I looked at their schedule. I

640
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:54,919
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna win this game. I'm gonna bet

641
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,919
Speaker 1: on the Ravens. So even if they're four and two,

642
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: here their next upcoming games the Jags, Seattle, the Texans,

643
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: and the Lions, and they still have two games against

644
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: the Commanders. So it's not inconceivable that this team is

645
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 1: around five hundred. You know, when all the dust settles

646
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: at the end of the year, even if they get

647
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: swept by the Cowboys, swept by the Eagles, they still

648
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: gotta play, you know, the Vikings. The Colt's Like, if

649
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: Brian Dabo wins nine games, you convince Mese Coach of

650
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: the Year. I don't give a ship what other records

651
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: of what other teams nine and eight with this roster,

652
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: given how bad they've been, that that would be really impressive.

653
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: And I do think there is some pressure in this

654
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: game on the Ravens. You have Lamar Jackson, who's having

655
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: an m v P type season, like you are the

656
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,959
Speaker 1: better team the Giants. I get it's a road game,

657
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: but anytime the Ravens, the Eagles, the Giants, the Commanders

658
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,479
Speaker 1: they play each other, they all take the train. It's

659
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: not it's like commuting for me and you to go

660
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: to work. So this is not your typical like let's

661
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: get in the plane, let's fly two time zones. No,

662
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: the Ravens got into train or hell, maybe they bust

663
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: and it's not a very very hard commute. So I

664
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 1: like the Ravens in this game. But I do believe

665
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: regardless you convinced me. You know, if you told me

666
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: right now that the Giants loses game by twenty five points,

667
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: I'm still not thinking different with the Giants, Like you

668
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: just look at their schedule. They are not gonna go away.

669
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: And then just some other stories really on the DeVante thing,

670
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: like his resume speaks for herself as a human being.

671
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: But if you want to convince me, and a lot

672
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: of people are like sarcastically making fun like there is

673
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: something to be said. He is a spotless resume as

674
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: a human for Fresno State and then for Green Bay.

675
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: Beloved high character guy. If you told me one day

676
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: Davante Adams won the Man of the Year, I'd be like, yeah,

677
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: very believable. Then he goes to the Raiders. He's been

678
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: winning his the majority of his career in college and

679
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: then in the pros and he's been winning big the

680
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: last three years. Then he goes to the Raiders. He

681
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: starts losing over and over again. Now he chose this,

682
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: he signed up for this, He told the Packers trade me,

683
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: I want to go play with my homie. And sometimes

684
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to always do business with

685
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: your friends, and you don't want you want to do

686
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: business with the Raiders because in the Internet age, they lose,

687
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: and they lose a lot. Now you can convince me

688
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: they're not the worst team in the league. Of course

689
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: they're not. Like you don't have to sell me on that,

690
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: Like the Panthers are one and four, the Commanders are

691
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: one and four, and the Raiders are winning. For obviously

692
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: the Raiders are light years better than those two teams,

693
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: but your records, your record that they're one and four

694
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: like and their resume as a franchise as Mark Davis's

695
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: own didn't really since the Internet has been you know,

696
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 1: in our lives, they lose a lot. So, like Demante,

697
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: you did sign up for this. Now to me, it's

698
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: like fucking sue him getting tossed. Give me a break,

699
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: like pick yourself up and get up like unfortunate incident

700
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: not that big a deal, but like everyone was making

701
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: fun of the dude at the forty niner game that

702
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: charged the field and Bobby Wagner lit up, and people

703
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,439
Speaker 1: like I can't believe this guy is suing. Like I can't.

704
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: It's California. It's a like pro criminal man that that

705
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: guy's gonna win. That guy is going to get money

706
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: from Jed York and stand Cronkey or the NFL. I

707
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 1: will be stunned if the if the protester in that

708
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: forty nine or Monday night football game when Bobby Wagner

709
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: lit him up doesn't win some money, it's it's California.

710
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: He's going to be protected. Now. I don't. I can't

711
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: speak to the politics in Missouri Kansas City. You know,

712
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: I think it's like you're really suing life threatening You

713
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 1: didn't have life threatening diseases or injuries. Yeah, but we

714
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 1: know we saw you fall, like just most of us

715
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 1: when we get shoved, we just kind of dust ourselves

716
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: off and pick ourself up and get back up. Uh

717
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: So the whole situation is just it's classic Raiders. It's

718
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: very very Raiders though, it's just it's unavoidable. Uh. The

719
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: Washington article like, yeah, we all know. Dan Snyder's kind

720
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: of a shiphead. People don't like him, Like what am

721
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 1: my shows to learn? I like Seth Wickersham. I read

722
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: his Patriot book. It's fantastic. I've demmed with him over

723
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: the years. He writes some fantastic pieces and there were

724
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,760
Speaker 1: some explosive lines like the NFL owners are like a mafia.

725
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: Dan Snyder's got dirt, Like yeah, it's I think this

726
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: guy's a ship head. Nobody likes him. The league would

727
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 1: love to get him out. Maybe Dan Snyder wants it

728
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 1: to be known. If you guys vote vote me out,

729
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take down a bunch of you. And I

730
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: don't blame him nobody, no matter how bad of a game,

731
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: just because you're a bad guy doesn't make you realize,

732
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: Like look in the mirror, like I'm a bad guy.

733
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: Maybe I should just give up my team, Like, oh,

734
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen Dan Snyder. However this ends with him,

735
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: it will not be pretty. But here's what I will

736
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:36,760
Speaker 1: never forget. The NFL did an independent investigation on Dan Snyder.

737
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: Do you know what happened? Jon Gruden got fired? He

738
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: was the raider said coach. So I just think all

739
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: this stuff is just part of the television reality show

740
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: that we all love so much, and this all adds

741
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: to it. The other thing that kind of bothers me

742
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 1: is and I see this a lot with older people.

743
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: They're like, the NFL is so much better when teams

744
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: like why Shington and the Raiders are dominating. Actually it's not.

745
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: You know, yeah it was. It was a big deal

746
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: in the eighties when those two teams were winning Super Bowls.

747
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: But I wasn't alive then. And then I got alive,

748
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys were good, the Packers were good, the

749
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: Niners were good. Uh, the Broncos were good, and the

750
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 1: league was fine, and then the Raiders and the football

751
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: team for twenty years were terrible. And the league has

752
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: never been more popular Washington. The majority of my life

753
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 1: has been completely irrelevant, and the NFL has never made

754
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 1: more money. So whenever you hear someone goes the league's better,

755
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: push back and go, no, it's actually not. That is

756
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: not true. In baseball, it matters that the Yankees and

757
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: Dodgers are good. In basketball, it matters when the big

758
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: markets are good, the Lakers, the Bulls, the Celtics and

759
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: the Knicks are terrible, right, If the Knicks were better,

760
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 1: that would help out the the NBA, The Jets and

761
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: the Giants have been bad for seven eight plus years.

762
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: The NFL just signed a historic revenue deal with their

763
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: TV partners. So it's like, no, actually, they're not dependent

764
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: on independent markets. They're dependent on the product being interesting

765
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: and good. In quarterbacks, momes places for Kansas City, Brett Farvan,

766
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers played in Green Bay. Like, it's not market dependent,

767
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: it's league dependent. And ultimately Dan Snyder whether he's in

768
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: the league or out of the league. Like, I think

769
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: it's a lot more drama, you know, in just in

770
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: internet circles and like owners maybe complaining about it, but

771
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: I don't think it actually impacts the sport. Um Brady,

772
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: you know, has a chance to knock out the Steelers.

773
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: It's pretty crazy, you know, the the Bucks are big

774
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: favorites on the road against Pittsburgh. So now Pittsburgh back

775
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 1: to back weeks, four teen point dogs last week, now

776
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 1: they're eight and a half point dogs, so you know,

777
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: twenty plus points in back to back games. It's one thing.

778
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: It was a historic underdog last week against the Bills,

779
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: and it clearly wasn't high enough. I think when you

780
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: look at it in the totality of like back to

781
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: back weeks, you're like twenty two point underdogs, like your

782
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: team sucks, your team is really really bad. Fitzpatrick's you know,

783
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: he's banged up. He hasn't practice all week. Obviously, t

784
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 1: J Watts out. Their offensive lines is so average they

785
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: can't run the ball. Kenney Pickett is just gonna be

786
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: a complete work in progress. It's gonna be a long,

787
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: long year, long long year for the Pittsburgh Steelers. And

788
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: one thing it's pretty fascinating to me. We've all you know,

789
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,919
Speaker 1: if you follow the NFL, you've probably seen the stats

790
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: if you're on social media of how good Geno Smith

791
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: has been, and people have compared Geno's numbers and Russell's numbers.

792
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: It's not even debatable Geno Smith has been a better

793
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: player than Russell Wilson this year. This year statistically, the

794
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: eye test, like, no one can even argue it. Cr

795
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: I couldn't even argue it. Seattle, Now are they good?

796
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: Are they bad? I would tend to say they're gonna

797
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: end up being like a six win team, but they'll

798
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: clearly be feisty, and Pete's kind of good with an

799
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: underdog and some random guys, and they'll play hard and

800
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: they'll probably knock off a couple of good teams as

801
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:03,280
Speaker 1: the year goes on. But this week at home against Arizona,

802
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: Arizona might not be good. Like they do not score

803
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: early in games. Their quarterback is getting worse. You know,

804
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: they paid him, uh historic amount of money. Obviously, it's

805
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,959
Speaker 1: the biggest amount of money the franchise has ever paid

806
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: a player. It's one of the biggest contracts in the

807
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: history of the NFL. And he's nowhere near worth it

808
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: currently like he is. I had a buddy in the

809
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: NFL that sent me a He must have been, you know,

810
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: writing up some guys watch some film. It set me

811
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: a throw that Kyler made last week late in the

812
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 1: game in the fourth quarter, under two minutes to zach Ertz,

813
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: who was running like either a flag or like a

814
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: deep crossing route kind of towards the sideline, and he

815
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 1: was open. It would have been a big, big game.

816
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 1: Kyler is not getting pressured, he's in the pocket. He

817
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: just fucking airmails him. I mean Kevin Garnett in his

818
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: prime with a trampoline, couldn't have touched the ball. And

819
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: you just watch Kyler like, yeah, he can make some

820
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: sweet plays with his legs and every once in a

821
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,439
Speaker 1: while he'll throw a dime. But to me, right now,

822
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: he's like a bottom ten quarterback in the NFL because

823
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 1: being a flashy player who cares like you have to

824
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,720
Speaker 1: sustain drives. You have to be a consistent player, especially

825
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: when I'm paying you a lot of money. Think about

826
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: the guys making a lot of money right now, Josh Allen, Patrick,

827
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 1: mahomes Lamar Jackson will make a lot, even cousins. They

828
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 1: are consistently Aaron Rodgers. Tom Brady doesn't make any but

829
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 1: you know he doesn't make that much money, makes thirty

830
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: million dollars. They are consistent, even when they're not like

831
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 1: their elite self that their their floor is really low

832
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:39,399
Speaker 1: Kyler Moray. Kyler Murray's floor is way too low. It's

833
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: just not high enough for a forty plus million dollar quarterback.

834
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: And if they lose this weekend at Seattle, they would

835
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: be two and four and they clearly are not built

836
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: personality wise, uh to handle you know, a huge uphill battle.

837
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 1: To me, this is borderline must win for Arizona or

838
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: I feel their season just completely crumbles and we're looking

839
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: at a five win team. They win this game, maybe

840
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: they'll fight see enough and they end up around seven

841
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 1: eight wins. They lose this game, I think I'll help

842
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: could break loose quickly in Uh, I don't even know.

843
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 1: I was gonna say Tempe, wherever the hell they practice?

844
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: Obviously they playing Glendale where the super Bowl is. I

845
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: got news for you the streak. You know, Tampa hosted

846
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, they played it, and they won it.

847
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 1: L A hosted the super Bowl, they played it and

848
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 1: they won it. This year, the Cardinals host a super Bowl,

849
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 1: they will not be playing in it. Back at it

850
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: again with my main man, Stucky. Who you know. I

851
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 1: I might have propped up a little too high. I

852
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: had people slide into my d M S. I'm sure

853
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 1: they slid into his d M S. Wasn't trying to

854
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,320
Speaker 1: cook the books. I just can't add. Uh. He's twelve

855
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: and seven on the season. Rough week, but Tennessee's on

856
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 1: a by. We can't fade them this week. Uh, Kentucky

857
00:45:57,880 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: got their ass kicked because I didn't have their starting

858
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: core orter back. So I don't know how it's going

859
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: in Lexington. But luckily their start quarterback looks to be back.

860
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 1: You can find them on the Action Network. You can

861
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 1: find them on Big Bets on Campus. You're actually network

862
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: podcast on Thursday, Big Bets on Campus. Go subscribe to that.

863
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: Stucky How how are you feeling good? Uh? It was, yeah,

864
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: I mean I would luckily the Titans, Yes, I mean

865
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 1: I would. I would make that bet again. But that's

866
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 1: how it works sometimes the NFL. Sometimes you get some

867
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 1: breaks that go withy. Sometimes you don't. The yeah, and

868
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: then the Rams just they didn't make Cooper Rush beat

869
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: him and that was that Cowboys. That Cowboys front won

870
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: the game early with the defensive touchdown and the Rams

871
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: are a mess. So that was a bad play. Um,

872
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: that Ram's offensive line is a disaster right now. But yeah,

873
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: everything's well. I mean the Kentucky, Yeah, Kentucky's lost two

874
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: in a row. And what that means is whenever that happens,

875
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 1: it's college basketball season in Lexington. I saw I saw

876
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 1: a coach. I saw a coach cal coach Cal's getting

877
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 1: getting the happy about retirement. I saw some headlines. Yeah

878
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 1: he's he's probably smiling. If a couple of we were

879
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,359
Speaker 1: talking about that. Yeah, it was unfortunate that love us

880
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: got hurt, but uh yeah, I'm excited for this weekend

881
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: of college football and in the NFL is always let's

882
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: get into it. Well, the one bet you hit last

883
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: week that I you know, I was, I wouldn't say

884
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: a loyal Dan Campbell guy, but I'm definitely off the

885
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: scent and let the Lins just I wouldn't put any

886
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: money on them for a while. But let's start with

887
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,760
Speaker 1: they were coming off the biggest line in the history

888
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 1: of the franchise as an underdog in the Steelers, and

889
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 1: they got fucking housed by the Bills. It was one

890
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: of those thirty eight to three I saw like an

891
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: Oklahoma fan on like Reddit. It was kind of going viral, like,

892
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:44,280
Speaker 1: don't get it twisted. The score wasn't even that close.

893
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 1: And that's what the Bill Steeler game to me reminded me.

894
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 1: I know, it's thirty eight to three, but that was

895
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: that's about a hundred and nothing equivalent in the NFL.

896
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: Now the Steelers are playing the Bucks. Uh, I think

897
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: I know where you're gonna lean here because Tomlin big

898
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,720
Speaker 1: dog just getting there. Ask kicked. Everyone thinks they suck

899
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,879
Speaker 1: you know, the Bucks aren't exactly blowing people out, even

900
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: though I even thought watching that game up twenty one nothing.

901
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: You know, the Falcons, I know they had a chance,

902
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 1: but it's you know that they were getting kind of

903
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 1: worked in that game. Uh. This is probably a stay

904
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:22,720
Speaker 1: away from me just because I I understand Tomlin's track record,

905
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,760
Speaker 1: but Big Ben ain't walking through that door. This team

906
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 1: to me without t J. Watt, I think the record

907
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: that they've never won since he's been on the team.

908
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: I just can't get behind the Steelers. But this is

909
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: a big line, and I think the Bucks are you know,

910
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: I mean they're cruising to eleven twelve wins, but they're

911
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: definitely not some dominant squad this year. This would be

912
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: a stay away from me. How about you? Yeah, I played,

913
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: I played Pittsburgh here plus eight and a half. I

914
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: this is almost an auto play for me. Not you know,

915
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 1: the Tomlin stacks are ridiculous. I mean I could go

916
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 1: onto them for days. He's the most profitable coaches an

917
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: underdog over the past twenty years there, you know, and

918
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: this will be the biggest home dog that they've been

919
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 1: in forty years. If the line doesn't come down to

920
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: seven or below, and for what it's worth, over the

921
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 1: past twenty years, Pittsburgh is seventeen four and three against

922
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: the spread as a home dog. But you know when

923
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: a team, when an NFL team gets thoroughly embarrassed thirty

924
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: by I've lost of thirty five or more points. The

925
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: next week they are seventy and this is over the

926
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: past twenty years, seventy one forty one in five. That's

927
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: sixty three and a half percent when they're catching when

928
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:38,479
Speaker 1: they're an underdog of three or more points after losing

929
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 1: by thirty five plus, this is the NFL market forty

930
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: seven seventeen and two, just seventy three percent. So you

931
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 1: know it is still a week the week market, I think,

932
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 1: you get a little line value. And then these are professionals,

933
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,320
Speaker 1: You get embarrassed. They usually come out with your best effort,

934
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: usually not as bad as you look the week before.

935
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 1: And then you have a guy like Tomlin at home.

936
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: This see this is the season. I mean, I don't

937
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 1: think they're going anywhere regardless. But they lose this game,

938
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,439
Speaker 1: they're done. You're done in the a f C. They're

939
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: at home. Just got roasted, I think. And if you

940
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 1: look at the numbers. Kenny Pickett has been better than

941
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 1: it's not the bar isn't high to clear, but been

942
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: better than Mr Drabinsky and uh maybe developing a little

943
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: nice connection with George Pickens. But yeah, the Bucks, so

944
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 1: I just think those lines a little too high. It's

945
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:26,839
Speaker 1: the spot, it's the raw road Tomlin spot. And then

946
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 1: it's you know, an NFL team off of getting blown

947
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:31,399
Speaker 1: out by thirty five plus you don't see it a ton.

948
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: This is in college and and the Bucks, the Bucks

949
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 1: are just they're kind of broken right now. And um,

950
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 1: they need to figure out. The offensive line isn't great.

951
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: They can't run the ball because of that, Brady's under pressure.

952
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,760
Speaker 1: The wide receivers are just in and out, like Godwin

953
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: plays like one like one series in the second half,

954
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: even though he came back last week, so he's still

955
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:54,760
Speaker 1: limited to just all the pieces aren't there. They're missing

956
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: like they're still missing Gronk. It's who that they they've

957
00:50:58,000 --> 00:50:59,839
Speaker 1: really missed him in like the red zone and then

958
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:02,280
Speaker 1: the defense last week. We'll see who ends up playing.

959
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,320
Speaker 1: But one of the reasons that Falcons came back into

960
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:10,240
Speaker 1: that game is because they lost both starting corners to injury.

961
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 1: They lost their safety to injury, and they were playing

962
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:16,320
Speaker 1: with you know, rookies at corner. Um, and so we'll

963
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 1: see who ends up playing for Tamma with their secondaries

964
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 1: banged up as well, the same It's the same case

965
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:24,280
Speaker 1: with pitt Pittsburgh last week lost almost their entire secondary injury.

966
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: We'll see who ends up playing. But yeah, I just

967
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 1: think as a home dog here of eight and a

968
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 1: half points after getting embarrassed with Tomlin against a Bucks

969
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 1: team that's just hasn't found its groove yet. Um, I'll

970
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:41,240
Speaker 1: take the points here and the in a classic Tomlin

971
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 1: ra Rod spot. I've avoided them all year except for

972
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 1: that since he wanted to open the season just because

973
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: they there's only so much toim we can do with

974
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: a limited quarterback, and um, and look, the Bills blow

975
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: out everyone. They beat everyone by fourteen plus. When they're good,

976
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 1: they're good. So yeah, I'll take the eight and a

977
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 1: half here. Okay, if you would have told me, you

978
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 1: and the breast of NFL ends that you know, come whatever,

979
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 1: what's the date, October six, that the Ravens would have

980
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:11,359
Speaker 1: a worse record when they played the Giants, I don't

981
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 1: think many people would have believed you, or they would

982
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:15,439
Speaker 1: have been like God, damn, did Lamar Jackson get hurt?

983
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 1: That has not been the case. Somehow. The Giants are

984
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 1: four and one, and last week was an impressive win.

985
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 1: But I just it's not that I don't believe in

986
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 1: day Ball. Clearly he's a good coach and been very impressive.

987
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: I just don't believe in this team. And maybe I'm

988
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 1: gonna look like an idiot in a couple of weeks,

989
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 1: but I would hammer the Baltimore Ravens in this game.

990
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: I think this has classic. Listen if they start four

991
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: and too, even if they get rolled in this game,

992
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: that's an incredible start for the New York Giants. But

993
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:46,879
Speaker 1: I I like the Ravens big in this game. Yeah,

994
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: I would agree. Um the look, there's a couple of

995
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: things working in Baltimore's favor here. The perception of the

996
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: Ravens is still lower than it probably should be. This

997
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 1: is a team that easily could be undefeat it. You know,

998
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:03,240
Speaker 1: they blow a huge lead to Miami and the fourth quarter,

999
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 1: they blow a huge lead to Buffalo late. Now if

1000
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: that happens again, say they're up seventeen twenty on the Giants,

1001
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,840
Speaker 1: the Giants passing offense is not coming back on the Ravens.

1002
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:18,720
Speaker 1: And now the Ravens secondary is at corner is healthy.

1003
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,400
Speaker 1: They have a healthy Marcus Peters and a healthy Marlon

1004
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 1: Humphrey and the Giants are just very limited a receiver,

1005
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:26,799
Speaker 1: which I think like basically, what's gonna happen here is

1006
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 1: the Ravens can They're gonna play man on the outside

1007
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: with their two corners and they're gonna load the box

1008
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 1: and just take away Barkley. And on the flip side,

1009
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 1: it's and look, the Giants are coming back from London.

1010
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 1: Ravens are making a short trip up that could only

1011
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,799
Speaker 1: work in their favor. But when Lamar Jackson, when the

1012
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 1: raveinside the ball, the Giants are going to blitz. That

1013
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 1: is what Martin Dale does and I think it's a

1014
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 1: was a huge upgrade at defensive coordina and it's gonna

1015
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 1: help them overall this season generate more pressure for a

1016
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:59,399
Speaker 1: team that struggles to do so. But the Ravens spent

1017
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: the entire offseason addressing their offense against the blitz because

1018
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,920
Speaker 1: it was their kryptonite last year. Wake Martinel saw that

1019
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: front and center, and he also never never deviates from blitzing.

1020
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson has absolutely shredded the Blitz this year seven touchdowns,

1021
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: one interception, the second highest quarterback rating against the Blitz.

1022
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,839
Speaker 1: I think the first is Geno Smith, who's like leads

1023
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 1: the NFL in every passing category somehow. Um So, I

1024
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 1: think it's a good matchup on both sides. Obviously a

1025
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:32,799
Speaker 1: special teams advantage here, and you know, Daniel Judges, just

1026
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:35,879
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, has struggled more at home. He's nine

1027
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 1: and thirteen against the spread at home. And Lamar Jackson

1028
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 1: when he hits the Highway seventeen and nine against the

1029
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 1: spread on the road about sixty six percent, covering by

1030
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 1: about a touchdown per game twelve and four is a

1031
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 1: dog or favorite of less than seven. So Lamar has

1032
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:51,840
Speaker 1: been good in the spot, Daniel Jones has struggled in

1033
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:53,400
Speaker 1: the spot. And I think it's a good matchup for

1034
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens on both sides. Their offensive line also getting healthier.

1035
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 1: Ronnie Stanley came back last week All Pro left tackle

1036
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: instead of having a rookie in there. We have to

1037
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:05,280
Speaker 1: give help to um you know, he gave up zero

1038
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,239
Speaker 1: pressures and all of his pass box snap. So it's

1039
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 1: nice to see him back. So yeah, I think there's

1040
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: a spot to sell the Giants. I love what day

1041
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 1: Balls doing, but you also to look at the schedule too.

1042
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: They I mean the teams that they've beat. Last week

1043
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:21,880
Speaker 1: of their wins, I would say, yeah, that it was

1044
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: more of impressive, but I think it's they were mean,

1045
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 1: they were down seventy nothing, and uh, I think it

1046
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: spoke more to some of the problems on Green Bay's offense.

1047
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 1: But um, just overall, it's like you beat Caroline at

1048
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:34,800
Speaker 1: Home by three, you know, you beat you beat Tennessee

1049
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 1: by one. Um, it hasn't been the greatest schedule. Um well,

1050
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 1: whereas the Ravens have played a number of the toughest

1051
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL, So I think I think that

1052
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 1: their superiority shows here. On the The other thing I'm

1053
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,719
Speaker 1: sure is I mean Greg Roman Lamar Jackson saw a

1054
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 1: Wink four years in practice every single day. Uh. Now,

1055
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 1: I would imagine Wink is gonna be pretty fired up

1056
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,800
Speaker 1: because I don't know if he quite quote unquote got fired,

1057
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: but it was clear like we're not gonna pay you

1058
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 1: the big bucks to come back. So there was a breakup.

1059
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 1: But like you said, he does what he does. I mean,

1060
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 1: he doesn't have seven million pitches. I mean he's got one.

1061
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 1: You know what's coming. And like you said, it's been

1062
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:14,840
Speaker 1: good for the for the Giants, but I'm with you,

1063
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 1: I'm short in them. This week Miami at hosting Minnesota.

1064
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 1: This one's interesting to me. Uh obviously to us, I

1065
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:27,320
Speaker 1: would have imagined is not gonna play. Uh to Teddy

1066
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:31,279
Speaker 1: Bridgewater probably up in the air as of recording this,

1067
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,839
Speaker 1: so they could end up with an undrafted free agent

1068
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 1: at quarterback again. You know that that situation with Miami,

1069
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 1: to me, I think has a chance. Obviously, when they're

1070
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:44,320
Speaker 1: fully healthy. Even I'm not the biggest to a believer,

1071
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna be pretty feisty because they got explosive weapons

1072
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 1: on offense and the coaches, you know, I mean, he's

1073
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 1: a pretty dynamic schematic guy, and ultimately they just got

1074
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 1: those two guys are just so fucking fast. It doesn't

1075
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 1: really matter even if you don't have Bill Walls, Scheming

1076
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 1: Waddle and Tyreek. I've been really impressed with Tyreeks. Give

1077
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,760
Speaker 1: a ship this year. I I thought, you know a little,

1078
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 1: it happens a lot in NBA and baseball. Sometimes you

1079
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 1: just get that enormous pay day. You're kind of toward

1080
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 1: the end of your career and you kind of you

1081
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 1: watch him. He's playing hard, I mean, and that's it's

1082
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: been impressive. But their quarterback situation that the unknown. And

1083
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: I'm not some huge believer in Minnesota. This would probably

1084
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 1: be a stay away from me, you know. I guess

1085
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 1: you're just taken the home dog. I mean, is that

1086
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 1: is that the philosophy here? Sucky? Yeah, I just think

1087
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 1: that market has overreacted to the quarterback situation. So if

1088
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 1: family was fully healthy and you know, you you still

1089
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 1: have to worry about Austin Jackson. The right tackle came

1090
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 1: off by r We'll see if he plays Toronto Armstead.

1091
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 1: Their left tackle is dealing with a toe injury. We'll

1092
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 1: see if he plays Savian Howard. Their corner is gonna play,

1093
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 1: which is big. But you know, if too, if this

1094
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 1: team was fully healthy and too it was starting, you

1095
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 1: would probably I would make could personally Miami minus four

1096
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: ish and the drop off from two into Teddy Bridgewater

1097
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: not big. It's like a point point and a half,

1098
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: you know, So then you're at Miami like a field

1099
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 1: goal favorite. If Teddy Bridgewater started and he's not going

1100
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 1: to start. I think he's gonna be they He'll probably

1101
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 1: be cleared by game time and then be available as

1102
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 1: a backup if it goes wrong. You're expecting the free

1103
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 1: agent quarterback to start. Yeah, so then and then with

1104
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 1: Teddy being available, and so that the difference between Teddy

1105
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 1: and this and the undrafted free agent is not you know,

1106
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 1: six and half points from three minus three to like

1107
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 1: plus three, and that is enormous. You're going through two threes,

1108
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 1: even though you're going through a dead range. And he

1109
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 1: looked bad last week, but he was thrown into the fire.

1110
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 1: He'll run with the ones all week. We've seen backups

1111
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:47,920
Speaker 1: in this league have success in the first couple of

1112
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 1: starts over and over again. Um, so there's you know,

1113
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 1: a lack of familiarity, lack of tape on them. And

1114
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 1: then you know you can kind of dumb things down

1115
00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: and he'll get the timing down with his receivers this week.

1116
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 1: And I'm just not a huge buyer in Minnesota. They're

1117
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:05,400
Speaker 1: kind of a paper tiger, you know, their their biggest win.

1118
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 1: They're kind of resting to Laurels on that win over

1119
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 1: Green Bay to start the year. But we've seen how

1120
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 1: Green Bay has looked. Um, there are other wins. It's

1121
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 1: like come back against the Lions at home, you know,

1122
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 1: hold on against the Bears at home. Their only result

1123
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 1: on the road is getting torched at Philadelphia. So um,

1124
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: you know the humidity Florida still September October usually a

1125
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 1: decent home field advantage. Down in Miami, desperate team off

1126
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 1: a couple of losses. I think Weegandles work Beganda working

1127
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 1: with Thompson and the ones all week, can scheme up

1128
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 1: enough here to keep Miami close. And Minnesota tends to

1129
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:46,480
Speaker 1: just like let teams hang around and these games like

1130
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 1: they's there came and forgetting McDaniel with Kyle when Jimmy

1131
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 1: got her years ago, they started messing with Nick Mullins

1132
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:57,040
Speaker 1: kind of out of nowhere, and early on kind of

1133
00:59:57,080 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 1: competed and no one had ever you know, let's hear

1134
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 1: some die college football guy. He didn't really know who

1135
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,640
Speaker 1: he was. Now over time he got exposed. But they

1136
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: won some games and definitely probably covered some spreads with

1137
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 1: a guy that no one knew who he was. And

1138
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 1: now five years later, guys still in the league. Yeah, yeah,

1139
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't a game I've been like, oh

1140
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: my god, I love it. It's my favorite better the year.

1141
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 1: But once it once it's you know, now it's at

1142
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 1: three and a half. I think that there's enough wiggle

1143
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 1: room here. Uh and what I think will still end

1144
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 1: up being a close game. Okay. Uh, you know the

1145
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 1: NFC East right now has to four and one team

1146
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:34,840
Speaker 1: and obviously five and o team in this game is massive.

1147
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: I mean the Eagles hosting the Cowboys. Now, it's probably

1148
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 1: not quite as big just because this star quarterback would

1149
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 1: be strong, but Dax heard. But the Cowboys, I mean

1150
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 1: last week was impressive. Their defense has been awesome. Uh.

1151
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: You know, I I've shipped on McCarthy as much as anyone,

1152
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 1: but you know, he's twelve and five last year and

1153
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 1: he's four and one this year. Like ultimately he's his

1154
01:00:57,080 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 1: team is winning some games. Does feel they're kind of

1155
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 1: running into a bus saw here. I I just I

1156
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 1: have a hard time two fold thinking one that offensive line,

1157
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 1: especially the young left tackle who got smoked once by

1158
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:14,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, which sometimes the Rams kind of manipulated, like

1159
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 1: when you have a shitty backup tackle, they'll put Donald

1160
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 1: down a defensive end. Well, the Eagles just have defensive

1161
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 1: ends like they have just edge pressure guys, so that

1162
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: that matchup seems like a tough one. And also just

1163
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are gonna beat the Eagles with their quarterback

1164
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 1: thrown for under the yards, right, So it's it just

1165
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 1: feels like they're kind of running into a buzz saw

1166
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 1: on this one. And ultimately, if you know, if you're

1167
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:42,000
Speaker 1: competing for the division, as long as you split like this,

1168
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to win this game, Like you wouldn't

1169
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 1: even supposed to win it if you had doc. If

1170
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 1: turns out the Eagles are this good, uh, five and

1171
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:51,120
Speaker 1: a half seems you know for a team that might

1172
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 1: have one of the top two or three defense in

1173
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:55,920
Speaker 1: the league, a little high. But fuck, the Eagles look good.

1174
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:59,439
Speaker 1: I mean early in games sometimes they kind of they've

1175
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:02,000
Speaker 1: been weird and the second half, haven't they. I mean

1176
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 1: they just have they struggled to score for whatever reason

1177
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 1: that that would give me a little pause, just because

1178
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 1: you can come back on them, because they don't. They

1179
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 1: don't really put you away. But I would have to

1180
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 1: lean the Eagles here, but I wouldn't feel great about it. Yeah,

1181
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 1: I like the Eagles. I mean, my stance on Cooper

1182
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 1: Rush hasn't changed last week when I was on the

1183
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 1: Rams and said, this guy's not gonna win a game,

1184
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 1: UM on the road and by throwing the ball. You

1185
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:26,120
Speaker 1: if you make you get a lead on him and

1186
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 1: make him throw it. I like the Cowboys are their

1187
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 1: Their offense is twenty five yards per drive, twenty five

1188
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 1: points per drive ep A per play. This is not

1189
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 1: a good offense right now. And for what it's worth,

1190
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:39,920
Speaker 1: the Eagles are the only team ranked in the top

1191
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 1: five offense and defense. Cooper Rosh has been very lucky

1192
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:47,480
Speaker 1: with interceptions. And here's the thing, if and if you

1193
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 1: look at the four Cowboys wins they've I think they've

1194
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:52,320
Speaker 1: they haven't even topped twenty five points in any of

1195
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:54,320
Speaker 1: the the average about twenty two points per game. And

1196
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 1: the four wins. This is who Rusha's beat Washington, you know,

1197
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 1: come back against the Giants. The Bengals and Rams. Both

1198
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 1: of those teams are mess What are those teams have

1199
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 1: in common? Washington Giants since the Rams major offensive line problems,

1200
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 1: all ranked bottom five adjusted sack great bottom eate line

1201
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:20,440
Speaker 1: yards like their offensive lines are just a disaster right now. Well,

1202
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 1: the Eagles arguably the best offensive line in the NFL

1203
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 1: the right out number one in past protection. So they

1204
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 1: like the Cowboys defensive line is winning games Michael parsons

1205
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:32,480
Speaker 1: the company or winning games on their own. This will

1206
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:34,920
Speaker 1: be their toughest test by far. And maybe you have

1207
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 1: this season going up against the premier offensive line in

1208
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 1: the NFL. And I mean it's also like the Cowboys,

1209
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 1: you have. They were in New York short week down

1210
01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: back home, you play Washington and you head out to

1211
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:53,920
Speaker 1: the West coast. Now you come all the way across

1212
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,960
Speaker 1: the country. It's not been ideal travel. But basically what

1213
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 1: I think happens here is the Eagles offensive line can

1214
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 1: protect Hurts, They'll be able to get their run game

1215
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:04,080
Speaker 1: going a little bit, and they'll jump out to a

1216
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 1: lead and they'll be there. You know, the Cowboys defensive

1217
01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:09,440
Speaker 1: line will make plays, or defense will make plays, but

1218
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: the Eagles will still be able to score. They'll get

1219
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,120
Speaker 1: a lead at home in front of that crowd in

1220
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 1: prime time, and the forced Cooper rush, who should be

1221
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 1: under pressure to try and come back. That's when I

1222
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 1: think the mistakes come. And that's what I think Philly

1223
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 1: extends here. And then ultimately it's time for Dak Prescott

1224
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 1: not gonna hold you to this one, but you just

1225
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:30,880
Speaker 1: you know, might be the game of the year, at

1226
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 1: least on paper. I saw it's the first time Mahomes

1227
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 1: has been, you know, a home underdog. It feels like

1228
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:41,600
Speaker 1: that's just an auto bet. I wouldn't bet this game

1229
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 1: because it might just be the two best teams in

1230
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:46,040
Speaker 1: the league. But it just feels like that the value

1231
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 1: in getting the Chiefs at home. Now, I know it's

1232
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 1: a crazy stretch, right, you play the Bucks, which that

1233
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 1: was kind of their super Bowl two point oh, getting

1234
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:55,200
Speaker 1: back at Brady and Bulls. Then you have the Monday

1235
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 1: night game where you kind of sleepwalk but you got

1236
01:04:57,080 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 1: woken back up. So you're coming off a short week,

1237
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 1: the Bills are coming off the blowout. But it just

1238
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 1: to me that the value in taking the Chiefs at home?

1239
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 1: Am I crazy? Yeah? I mean, I wouldn't fault. I

1240
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 1: mean Mahomes is seven oh and one against the spread

1241
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: as an underdog in his career and hasn't lost in

1242
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 1: eight games. And this, yeah, this ends a streak of

1243
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:22,280
Speaker 1: games forty one home games of being a favorite, which

1244
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:25,520
Speaker 1: is the longest streak for Mahomes, the longest streak in

1245
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:28,480
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl air and yeah, I mean the one,

1246
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:32,400
Speaker 1: you know, I would the one. This is why I

1247
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:34,680
Speaker 1: pause a little bit. This is so similar to the

1248
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 1: spot last year, when you know, two years ago the

1249
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:40,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs beat the Bills in the playoffs, and then the

1250
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 1: Bills came to Kansas City in the regular season and

1251
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 1: blew them out last year in a revenge spot from

1252
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:50,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs, they came out with their hair on, fired

1253
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 1: a great game plan. Well then what happened later that

1254
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 1: year they lost in the playoffs again, Like this is

1255
01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:59,680
Speaker 1: the same exact spot as last year. Um, so yeah,

1256
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:01,280
Speaker 1: from and then you you mentioned a couple of the

1257
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 1: other situational factors that I do think favorite Buffalo, but

1258
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 1: this game should be back and forth taking the three.

1259
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't fault you with Mahomes, although you know, the

1260
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo has just been so impressive overall, and when they're good,

1261
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:19,200
Speaker 1: they're good. They tend to just win with margin. And

1262
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:24,040
Speaker 1: Kansas City there's some issues, like they easily should have

1263
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 1: lost probably to the Chargers if Carl Schefferds doesn't get

1264
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 1: afraid of the crowd, Like should have lost to the Raiders,

1265
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 1: you know, and they run into each other at the

1266
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:35,600
Speaker 1: end but they easily could have lost that game. The

1267
01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 1: US likely have three losses now. They got a little

1268
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:40,600
Speaker 1: unlucky in the Colt Sauce. But the Bills have looked

1269
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:44,520
Speaker 1: a lot, just a lot smoother and more polished so

1270
01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:47,640
Speaker 1: far this season. And if you compare what these teams

1271
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 1: to what they look like last year, there's no Tiree

1272
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 1: Kill to take off the top of the offense, which

1273
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 1: you're seeing impact their offense a little bit. But the

1274
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 1: Bills also have injuries in the secondary. The difference might

1275
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 1: be that Buffalo front, which is you know, you add

1276
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 1: von Miller. Some of their young guys are playing a

1277
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:08,160
Speaker 1: lot better. They're getting pressure at an elite level without blitzing.

1278
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:11,520
Speaker 1: And if you can do that against my Homes, I

1279
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 1: mean that's that you're you have to show so um

1280
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:17,680
Speaker 1: they're their defensive line and defensive front is in much

1281
01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:20,160
Speaker 1: better shape. So that could ultimately be the difference. But

1282
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:24,680
Speaker 1: anyone who wants to take my homes catching three at home,

1283
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 1: I would never fault you for doing so well. I'm excited.

1284
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 1: That's we got some pretty good games on Sunday, So

1285
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:35,040
Speaker 1: enjoy the weekend and let's let's win some bets. Get

1286
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 1: back on the positive nature. I've I've lost a lot

1287
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:39,680
Speaker 1: of money this year, so I would like some wins.

1288
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 1: And um, let's go Philly, let's go Baltimore because I

1289
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 1: don't think I'm gonna hammer those two. Let's do it, brother,

1290
01:07:46,600 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 1: take it easy, Broth, talk to you soon, and s

1291
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:10,960
