The Dodgers officially announced Shoho Tani signed his contract, 54 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 3: Lakers won the n season tournament, The Clippers are in 55 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 3: a nice little. 56 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 2: Shit Yeah, yes we are, thank you, Alex. 57 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 3: And the Chargers well finally fired they're head coach some 58 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 3: months let's start there. Oh okay, yeah, because the Chargers 59 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 3: fired Brandon Staley and their GM Friday morning. I'm going 60 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 3: to say, I don't think anyone was really surprised by 61 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 3: this news, more so of what took you so long. 62 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 4: Right, I mean the surprises that it actually happened, right, 63 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 4: because there's been so many incidents, so many games. 64 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 3: I mean, after the Charges soul crushing loss, yeah to 65 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 3: the Raiders on primetime Thursday night football, like you have 66 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 3: to do something after there were no more excuses. They 67 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 3: were losing forty nine to nothing in the third quarter, 68 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 3: after the Raiders lost three n half thing last week, 69 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 3: which sounds like a soccer score, right, not a football score. 70 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. 71 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 3: Now, I think the hardest part to kind of I 72 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 3: have the hardest part, I mean, the easiest thing to 73 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 3: kind of wrap your head around is Staley was a 74 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 3: defensive coach and he could not get his side of 75 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 3: the ball in order. The Raiders set their franchise scoring 76 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 3: record with sixty three points on Thursday night. 77 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 2: That can't happen. Did but embarrassing. 78 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 3: It's embarrassing. But it's not just about last night. The 79 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 3: Charger's defense is just bad. And when you're a defensive coach, 80 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 3: that can't happen. The Chargers are twenty seventh in points 81 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 3: allowed per game, twenty ninth in yards allowed per game. 82 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 3: And honestly, we've talked about this before. I was surprised 83 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 3: that even brought him back this year, especially after last 84 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 3: season's playoff loss, the collapse to the Jags. They had 85 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 3: a twenty seven point lead then lost thirty one to thirty. 86 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 3: It was just brutal, brute. All but one other thing 87 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 3: to remember with Staley, and I don't want to make 88 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 3: excuses for him, because that's not what we're here for. No, 89 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 3: he was a young and inexperienced coach. This was his 90 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 3: very first head coaching job. He had only been a 91 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: defensive coordinator for one year under Sean McVay and the Rams. 92 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 3: So they probably thought they could get that same kind 93 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 3: of magic the Rams got from McVeigh. 94 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 2: They didn't. I think they held on a little too long. 95 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think anyone would disagree with you on that, Yeah, 96 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 4: that they held on a little too long. 97 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,799 Speaker 2: Why And you know there were I would ask people. 98 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 4: We actually justin Frostberg, who is a producer here, he 99 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 4: also produces the radio for the Chargers, and you know, 100 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 4: I'm a chargersman, he's charged fan, and I was always like, 101 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 4: when are they going to make a change, And he's like, 102 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 4: it's probably going to be in after the season. Most 103 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 4: people thought Most people thought that, yeah, And it just 104 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 4: was like, at what point do you It's a definition 105 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 4: of insanity, Like we keep getting the same result, you 106 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 4: keep thinking something's gonna change and nothing's changing, if in 107 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 4: fact it's getting worse. 108 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 2: It was it was time. It was time. 109 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 4: I hope Brandon Staley, like you said, a learning experience. 110 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, he's still gonna get paid. He's still 111 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 3: gonna get paid. Sure, he'll get another coordinating job somewhere. 112 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 3: But just take a reset, take your recess, take a reset. 113 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 5: To me. 114 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 4: I wonder is it that the players just didn't believe 115 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 4: what he was selling. You have to believe what your 116 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 4: coach tells you, what he says in the locker room. 117 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 4: You just saw how the Raiders are playing for Antonio Pierce, Like, yeah, 118 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 4: but then. 119 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 3: They also lost three nothing the week prior, right, So 120 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 3: three nothing. 121 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 4: Though, But you got to like they all kind of 122 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 4: like have banded together and are following what their coach 123 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 4: is telling them. And I feel like I have never 124 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 4: seen or I've never believed that the Chargers are actually 125 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 4: following what their coach is saying. 126 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 3: Okay, now I got another question here. Okay, how much 127 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 3: is Justin Herbert to blame for all this? Because I'm 128 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 3: gonna say this last game probably helped his case a 129 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 3: little bit, just to see how big of a dumpster 130 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 3: fire the entire thing organization plays coach was even without him, 131 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 3: I'm gonna say there's no denying that Justin. 132 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 2: Herbert is a great quarterback. 133 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 3: Right, they're the games that they were losing, they're still 134 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 3: scoring twenty five to thirty points. But I think he 135 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 3: needs to take a slight part why in this situation. 136 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 3: He has been paid as a top tier quarterback, Okay, 137 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 3: and with that comes big responsibilities. You should be able 138 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 3: to put a franchise and a team on your back 139 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 3: if you are getting that kind of money. He is 140 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 3: an incredible talent, okay, but he needs to have those wow, 141 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 3: no doubt moments. Okay, look at someone else in his class, 142 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 3: his draft class, Joe Burrow. He took a disaster franchise, 143 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 3: put them on his back, brought them to a super Bowl. 144 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 3: And there's also moments where say, it's the last drive 145 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 3: of the game. Okay, do you feel confident that when 146 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 3: Justin Herd gets the ball, no matter what, he's going 147 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 3: to get it done like we feel when Mahomes or 148 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow gets a ball in that moment. He is 149 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 3: getting that kind of money. Yeah, he is getting that 150 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 3: kind of money. And when you get that kind of money, 151 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 3: you need to have that kind of responsibility and have 152 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 3: that kind of an effort to be able to pick 153 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 3: your team up if something else isn't going well. 154 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 4: I agree with what you're saying, but I disagree that 155 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 4: Justin Herbert has any fault in this. 156 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 2: He can't. 157 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 4: He can't he's not playing defense, he can't stop the 158 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 4: other team from scoring. 159 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 2: He was scoring, he was doing. 160 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 4: What he can And then I think this year kind 161 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 4: of like how Josh Allen I've said that he put 162 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 4: too much on his shoulders. 163 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 2: I think Justin Herbert this year was. 164 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 4: Doing that because he felt the need that he had 165 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 4: to put the team on his shoulders because they weren't 166 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,239 Speaker 4: stopping the other ball on the other side. I don't 167 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,239 Speaker 4: think Justin Herbert is RESK. 168 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 3: Zero you say zero blame for how big of a 169 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 3: dumpster fire the Chargers are this year. 170 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 4: You have to he is the leader of this team. 171 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 4: They have lost is not because of him. He has 172 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 4: not been the reason that they have lost. It has 173 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 4: been bad coaching and the defense not being able to 174 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 4: stop a freaking score. 175 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 3: Also, we're not in that locker room, as you mentioned, 176 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 3: we don't know does a team believe what Staley was saying. 177 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 2: That's where that's why if. 178 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 3: They don't, this is where a leader steps up and 179 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 3: you bring the team together in a separate way to 180 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 3: be like, come on, guys, this is our team. This 181 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 3: is a reflection on us. We need to do this, 182 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 3: We need to bring this together. And this is where 183 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 3: not only getting paid as one of the top players 184 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,479 Speaker 3: in the league, but being a leader on this team. 185 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 3: I feel like there needs to be a sense of responsibility. 186 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 3: That's and I'm not saying he should get zero percent. 187 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 4: It's just that, like I look at it and I'm like, oh, 188 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,839 Speaker 4: justin herb, I would never even think that you get 189 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 4: what I'm saying. 190 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 2: But I'm not saying of course he's a Chargers fan. 191 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 4: Sure, But at the same time, what I'm saying is like, 192 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,199 Speaker 4: I think he's excellent, and I think that he has 193 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 4: actually this year has been held back, and I think 194 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,719 Speaker 4: it's the pressure. The one thing I will tell you, 195 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 4: I do wish he was a bit of a more 196 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 4: vocal lead, and he has said that that he isn't 197 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 4: like that and that he should be. He's also what 198 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 4: it's his third fourth year. Like, I know you brought 199 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 4: up Joe Burrow, same classifice. Understand, I think there is 200 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 4: excuse when you are not when your team as a 201 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 4: whole is not doing well, you feel defeated. 202 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 2: How are you? 203 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 4: How do you come out of that as a team 204 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 4: when all of your defeats have been your job? 205 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 3: Score, it's your job. You're the leader. 206 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 2: You got to find it wherever. Yeah, he's doing his job. 207 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 2: He can't go and play defense. You can motivate. 208 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 3: And maybe he. 209 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 4: Was and it wasn't and it wasn't working. But I 210 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 4: don't think it's him. I think it's just Brandon Staley 211 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 4: was there. They were not believing what he was selling, 212 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 4: and you have to believe what your coach sells in 213 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 4: the locker room. Whatever he you know what I'm saying, 214 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 4: Like there's no discipline, the penalties that they would get. 215 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,439 Speaker 2: It's like they have no respect for Brandon Staley. 216 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 4: That's what I saw every single time, Like they just 217 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 4: didn't care that they they loved. 218 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 2: That was by sick. 219 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 4: What was it, sixty four points Raiders put up on them. 220 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 4: That is a team that does not care. Six sixty 221 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 4: three thank. 222 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 3: You whoa one of okay franchise record for the Raiders. 223 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 4: You know, like that just goes to show how much 224 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 4: they were truly like we do. 225 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 2: Not care anymore. 226 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 6: I don't. 227 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 3: I don't think it's a reflection of we do not care, 228 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 3: but it just wasn't the fit. It wasn't the right 229 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 3: fit in any way, shape or form. And the fact 230 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 3: that they gave him another year when there were so 231 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 3: many other great coaches available last year. 232 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 2: It is weird that like. 233 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 3: Sean Payton wanted to go to the Chargers, Yeah, really 234 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 3: wanted to vocally talked about wanting to go there, Like 235 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 3: now we're gonna keep bring the Sally for another year, 236 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 3: and why. 237 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 2: Just because you thought defensively he was gonna do something, 238 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 2: give him. 239 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 3: One more shot. Okay, it's time to flip the page 240 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 3: and look into the future. Okay, he's gone. Who is 241 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 3: the next best fit to be the Chargers head coach? 242 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 3: Not a lot of options, No right now, No, that 243 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 3: could change. But if he is available, I think Jim 244 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 3: Harbaugh would be a great fit for this franchise. He 245 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 3: thinks outside of the box, he brings culture, he knows 246 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 3: what it takes to win. He's already taken an NFL 247 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 3: team to the Super Bowl, the forty nine Ers in 248 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 3: the twenty twelve Harba Bowl where they played the Ravens 249 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 3: and the light would sweat out like gosh, it's so 250 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 3: long ago like it was like. 251 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 2: Just a couple of years ago, and it wasn't. 252 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 3: But obviously the biggest question is he willing to leave 253 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 3: college football and the great Michigan program to come back 254 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 3: to the NFL. 255 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 2: And I think that is all going to come down to. 256 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 3: If the NCAA has some heavy penalties for him and 257 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 3: the school after everything that happened this year, then maybe 258 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 3: I can see him leaving, or if they win a 259 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 3: national title, I can also see him being like, hey, 260 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 3: job done, check, Maybe I'm ready to come back. Plus 261 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 3: he's gonna be losing a lot of guys on that 262 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 3: Michigan team to the NFL Draft this season and then some. 263 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 2: Some big prosh for Hardbob. You have a franchise quarterback, yeah, 264 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 2: who is great. 265 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 3: Yes, Okay, his talent has not fully we have not 266 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 3: been taken advantage of greed. 267 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 7: Yet. 268 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 3: You have great pieces already in place, and right now, 269 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 3: because of the season they're having, you're gonna have high 270 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 3: draft picks. Currently they have the fifth draft pick. There's 271 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 3: gonna be a new GM, so you also have more 272 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 3: say than you would if you were coming in with 273 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 3: someone already in place. 274 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 2: There's a lot of ifs. There are a lot of 275 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 2: ifs there. 276 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 4: I don't think Carbo's coming to the NFL, but I 277 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 4: agree that I think he would be a good fit. 278 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 4: I think he is well respected, and like you said, 279 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 4: he brings a culture right, a hold with the Chargers 280 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 4: need they do not have a culture, and they need that. 281 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 4: I don't think he's gonna leave those so like other 282 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 4: names that I've thought of, you know, Kellen Moore, who 283 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 4: is currently their offensive coordinator, young guy, but apparently has 284 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 4: a really good relationship with Justin Herbert, and I don't 285 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 4: it wouldn't surprise me. 286 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 2: If they elevate him, even though they didn't make him 287 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 2: the interim head coach. 288 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 3: I know that, but that kind of right there would 289 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 3: be a little I would not I. 290 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 4: Would not be surprised. It's his first year as offensive coordinator. 291 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 4: He had mega success with the Cowboys. Everybody seems to 292 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 4: like that guy. Another one if we're thinking, you know, 293 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 4: maybe another defensive coordinator, Brian Flores of the Vikings. He 294 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 4: should get a lot of credit for what they've managed 295 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 4: to do. Losing you know, Kirk Cousins, losing Justin Jefferson. 296 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 4: He has motivated their defense to you know, step up 297 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 4: their game. 298 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 2: Every single time. The Minnesota's defense, I think is fit 299 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 2: is ranked fifth in the league right now. 300 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 4: Like I think that is also a real possibility. Brian 301 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 4: Flores more than Jim Harbaugh. Another name, everybody's Bill Belichick. 302 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 4: But here's the thing about the Chargers, which I think 303 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 4: we said this a couple of weeks ago when were 304 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 4: talking about the Chargers, there is not a lot of 305 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 4: flexibility because of the. 306 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 2: Mega contracts with the mega names on that team. 307 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 4: But you're gonna get draft picks, right, but you got 308 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 4: there's still not at least next year, not as much 309 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 4: flexibility unless you're gonna get rid of players that are 310 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 4: currently on the Chargers that have big names. But it's 311 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 4: just there's a lot of money tied up that would 312 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,959 Speaker 4: that would be the only thing that maybe discourages a coach. 313 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 3: But Justin Herbert la a lot of other positive a 314 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 3: lot of good pieces already in place, ownership, not one 315 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 3: you're gonna get draft picks. This is going to be 316 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 3: it's interesting off season for the Chargers. I just hope, honestly, 317 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 3: I hope they get an offensive coach so Justin Herbert 318 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 3: can just. 319 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 2: Reach and see because we've seen moments of. 320 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 3: Greatness for him, but it hasn't been obviously consistently throughout 321 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 3: his short career so far. But it's there, which is 322 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 3: why he got the Mega contract, and which is why 323 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 3: the Chargers believe in him, which is why we continue 324 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 3: to put him in the conversations of these top tier quarterbacks. 325 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 3: But he needs that opportunity to fully be able to 326 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 3: prove that and show himself. 327 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I hope the Chargers do pick a coach that can, 328 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 4: like you said, bring a culture and just a different 329 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 4: level of mentality to that organization because it's just like 330 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 4: I had to say it, but it's like a JV team, right, 331 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 4: like you compare, Chargers are gonna be charged. 332 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 8: Like when. 333 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 3: When your name is like a thing of failure, that's 334 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 3: not good.

Monty seventy 386 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 3: million people washed that presser. If that right there doesn't 387 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 3: convince you his worth and why he's worth every single 388 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 3: penny they gave him, you don't you don't get it 389 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 3: now In case you missed it, his deal with the 390 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 3: Dodgers is the biggest contract in North American sports history 391 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 3: by hundreds of millions of dollars. He got ten years, 392 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 3: seven hundred million dollars, but he's deferring six hundred and 393 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 3: eighty million, meaning he'll be making around two million a 394 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 3: year for the next ten years. But remember he's gonna 395 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 3: be making millions in endorsements. Yeah, brand deals, all of 396 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 3: these fine, He's gonna be just fine. Now some people 397 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 3: are upset with this contract. I'm so impressed they found 398 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 3: the legal loophole and beat the system. He allowed the 399 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 3: Dodgers to have their cake and need it too. 400 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 2: That's crazy. 401 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,959 Speaker 3: His big like, it's his biggest theme throughout the presser 402 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 3: because finally the first time we actually got to hear 403 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 3: it from Shoho Tani. There's been so much talk this offseason, speculation, 404 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 3: what's he going to choose? Nobody knew what was going 405 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 3: to happen except for shohe Atani. He even said he 406 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 3: did not make his decision until the night before and 407 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 3: then he posted it to Instagram saying that he chose 408 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 3: the Dodgers. So the biggest theme that came from this 409 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 3: entire presser that we heard from the Dodgers and equally 410 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 3: from Otani, is there eagerness to win. 411 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 2: Correct. They want to win, and they want to win now. 412 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 3: And with Otani coming up with that deferred money contract idea, 413 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 3: they are able to not only have a once in 414 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 3: a lifetime player and do that, but they can go 415 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 3: out and they can get the other talent that they 416 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 3: need now. 417 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 4: Absolutely in saying anybody who's like, oh I hate the Dodgers, 418 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 4: I'm like, I get it, I understand why, but this 419 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 4: is all legal. They I'm sorry, I cannot believe it's legal. 420 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 4: Like when I think it was a passon who posted 421 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 4: the CBA Oh yeah, and it's there's no cat you 422 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 4: could do it whatever you won like that. No, it's crazy. 423 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 2: It is absolutely insane. 424 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 4: And you know we've heard of players deferring money, yeah, 425 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 4: but it's typically like I maybe thirty percent ish. 426 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 2: He's literally like deferring it all. And I just I 427 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 2: had no idea this was legal. 428 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 4: And I get why anyone is annoyed and mad at 429 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 4: the doll I get it. 430 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 7: I get it. 431 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 3: Okay, but let's go back to also why he ultimately 432 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 3: chose the Dodgers, right, they shared the same winning vision, 433 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 3: and there was a line that he mentioned. He said 434 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 3: the Dodgers said they may have been one of the 435 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 3: best regular season teams over the last decade, but they 436 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 3: considered it a failure because they only have one World 437 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 3: Series to show for it. Bingo, that's how you won 438 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 3: over the Unicorn the first part. But then they also 439 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,479 Speaker 3: had an ace in their back pocket. The Dodgers had 440 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 3: a six year old video It's Kobe Bryant. 441 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 2: I'm rocking his shirt today. 442 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 3: Yes of Kobe ran encouraging show Heyo Tani to join 443 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 3: the Dodgers, sharing what it was like to be a 444 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 3: champion in Los Angeles, to say, Dodgers, we have to 445 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 3: see that video. You have to release that video. We 446 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 3: have to relive the Kobe Bryant glory. And like I 447 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 3: read that last night and I like just started crying. 448 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 4: Right it was impossible to not, like even right now 449 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 4: you mentioned I got the children again. Yeah, like that 450 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 4: when when you read that that they had that and 451 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:31,199 Speaker 4: it was like. 452 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 3: Oh my, I'm getting covered and fields clutch clutch moment 453 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 3: to do that, you know, like so smart and also 454 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 3: Kobe Bryant like he was he's the people's champion. Well, 455 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 3: and he was so the Toani talked about it. He 456 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 3: was so dedicated to his craft and to his work. Yes, 457 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 3: he was just living, eating, breathing basketball, and that's who 458 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 3: show Hayo Tani is with baseball. Yes, he wants to win, 459 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 3: but he wants to grow the game. Correct, he wants 460 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 3: to grow the game here, and he wants to grow 461 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 3: the game global.

Like he is an incredible 468 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 3: human who is so good at his craft.

It looked like 506 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 10: they were gonna run away with it despite the fact 507 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 10: Nickmullens had a couple of early interceptions, but he played 508 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,360 Speaker 10: well after that through a couple of touchdown passes three 509 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,719 Speaker 10: hundred and three yards overall in the day. Jake Browning, 510 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 10: though after struggling early on also bouncing back in that 511 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 10: second half, including this outstanding touchdown pass to T Higgins to. 512 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 11: Tie the game forty eight seconds left in regulation. On 513 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 11: second and ten, Browning, scrambling right in trouble, throws it 514 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 11: off his. 515 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 6: Back foot toward the end zone. O T Higgins wins 516 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 6: a jump ball for the football hit a touchdown, an 517 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 6: incredible catch by t Higgins. How buck Begels have scored 518 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 6: with thirty nine seconds to go. I can't believe what 519 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 6: T Higgins just did. 520 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 10: Wlw and the Bengals radio network with the car all 521 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 10: Te Higgins catching that ball at around the one yard line, 522 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 10: had to fight some tackles and stretch his arm across 523 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 10: the goal line to tie the game. With thirty nine 524 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,400 Speaker 10: seconds to go, they would force overtime, and it looked 525 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 10: like the Vikings would get themselves the victory in that 526 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,719 Speaker 10: extra period because after stopping the Bengals in their own territory, 527 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 10: they get the ball back and they would have a 528 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 10: couple of chances to get a first down conversion in 529 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 10: Bengals territory just short of field goal range, but the 530 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 10: Bengals defense holding strong. 531 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 11: Mullins will be under center, Chandler lined up behind him. 532 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 11: The Vikings try the bush, the Bengals appear to have 533 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 11: stopped him. No, Cincinnati got a great search up front 534 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 11: head looks like the Vikings lost Yarnitch going for the 535 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 11: toush push. The Bengals will take over at their own 536 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 11: forty two. 537 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 10: Yard line once again, the Bengals radio network with the call. 538 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 10: The Bengals would march down Tyler Boyd making an outstanding 539 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 10: catch and run, breaking a tackle to get well within 540 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 10: field goal range where the Bengals would win it. Twenty 541 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 10: seven to twenty four. They're now eight and six. Believe 542 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 10: it or not, the Vikings fall to seven and seven. 543 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 10: Second game of the day about to kickoff any minute 544 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 10: from now, Steelers and Colts in Indianapolis, and the day 545 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 10: is going to end with the Broncos and Lions over 546 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 10: in Detroit. Kickoff for that set for eight to fifteen 547 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 10: Eastern time college football action today.

And 552 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 10: in the Myrtle Beach Bowl, Ohio blows out Georgia Southern 553 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 10: forty one to twenty one.

In college hoops, we had a 558 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 10: surprising game between Baylor and Michigan State. The Spartans started 559 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,479 Speaker 10: off four and five. This year against number five Baylor, 560 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 10: who hadn't had a loss yet, and the Spartans won 561 00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 10: to get this eighty eight to sixty four. And that's 562 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 10: just one of the notable things to happen today in 563 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 10: a college hoops Number two Kansas does beat Indiana seventy 564 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 10: five to seventy one. 565 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 3: Back you guys, Thanks Kevin, Thank you Kevin. You're listening 566 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 3: to Fox Sports Saturday. I'm Alex Career here with Massy Bolgio. 567 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,159 Speaker 3: So we are broadcasting live from the tyreq dot com 568 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,880 Speaker 3: studios in Los Angeles. But let's bring in our first 569 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 3: guest of the day, the smartest mind in sports, NFL 570 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 3: Networks analytics expert and my writer and I Cynthia Freelan Cynthia. 571 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 5: Happy Football Saturday. 572 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, Well, let's get started with the biggest news 573 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 3: of the week. The Charges fired Brandon Saley and their 574 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 3: GM on Friday morning. 575 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 2: What were your initial thoughts. 576 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 5: I mean, look, that was an embarrassing game. I'm glad 577 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 5: that they didn't make history by you know, a lot 578 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 5: of people were calling for his job at the half, 579 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 5: but I'm glad they didn't do that. Brandon Ceely actually 580 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 5: a class act is even doing the interview walking off field, 581 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 5: I mean, my goodness at halftime, so I think it 582 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 5: was time. I mean, look like Justin Herbert, while he's 583 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 5: still very young, you don't want to waste any moment 584 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,360 Speaker 5: you have with the potential talent like that, a top 585 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 5: tier quarterback. They've got so many pieces in that locker room, 586 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 5: Derwin James, like, just so many great players. It feels 587 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 5: weird that they haven't been able to put it all 588 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 5: together and make a really like championship caliber team. I mean, 589 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 5: if you remember just last year that playoff, really crazy 590 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 5: loss to the Jags, which is the second biggest comeback 591 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 5: of all time in the NFL. So just some strange 592 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 5: stuff here, and now it's a chance for a clean 593 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 5: slate and a new look at it. 594 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, as you mentioned, I mean, Justin Herbert incredible talent. 595 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,719 Speaker 3: They have some great pieces in place, so it seems 596 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 3: like a favorable opportunity. Who do you think is the 597 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 3: next best fit as their head coach? 598 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 5: You know, it seems that we fit is interesting, but 599 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 5: I feel like it will be an offensive minded person, 600 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 5: just because Brandon Staley was a defensive minded coach and 601 00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 5: usually they kind of swing the pendulum back the other 602 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 5: direct I just hope that they put in place someone. 603 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 5: You know, look, I don't want anyone. I would like 604 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 5: everyone to keep their gruvy paws off of the Lions coordinator, 605 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 5: but Lions offensive course, that is mind we haven't. Yes, 606 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 5: Ben Jonson's name will be circulated in in this in 607 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 5: this effort, in general, in this coaching cycle, he might 608 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 5: be a candidate for it. Just thinking about creative offensive minds. 609 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 5: Maybe even Shane Waldron who's up there in Seattle as 610 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 5: of right now. You know he made Gino Smith last year, 611 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 5: like just absolutely come from like resurrected that man's career. 612 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 5: So I mean there's a number of interesting names that 613 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 5: are current coordinators now. But I hope they take an 614 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 5: approach that's very holistic because remember the past two coaches 615 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 5: that have come in, they haven't come in with a 616 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 5: GM in mind. So you know, Tom Telesco was there 617 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 5: and you know he was in place. So I hope 618 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 5: they take a much more holistic approach so that it 619 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 5: doesn't even matter if it's an offensive or defensive minded 620 00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 5: kind of background and resume for the coach. 621 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 4: So another big story this week Cynthia was Cam Newton's 622 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 4: comments about certain quarterbacks being just game managers, specifically Dak Prescott, 623 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 4: who is currently an MVP candidate Rock Party to Asako Biloa. 624 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 4: Your boy, Jared Koff, what did you make of those comments? 625 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 4: Do you think he just like meant something else and 626 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 4: use game managed game managers. I just feel like we 627 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 4: maybe misunderstood what Cam Newton was trying to say. 628 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 5: Do yourself a favorite and google Cam Newton. Like press conferences. 629 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 5: He has a pretty significant history of saying like maybe 630 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 5: the wrong words, like perhaps you know he's creating alternate 631 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 5: definitions of words that we're used to. Yeah, he has. 632 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 5: He has a pretty long history of that, and look 633 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 5: like on some level, like I think he was I 634 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 5: think where he was trying to go was a little 635 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 5: bit more like compliment. I think he was perhaps trying 636 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 5: to compliment if you guys like a Lamar Jackson perhaps 637 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 5: who you know he's read up there in that conversation 638 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 5: as well. But I mean, there are you kind of 639 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 5: can't deny that there are a lot of quarterbacks this 640 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 5: year playing that you know, they weren't even necessarily even 641 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 5: on the roster when the season started. We just saw 642 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 5: a game finish between Jake Browning and Nick Mullens. They 643 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 5: were both on the roster when the season started. But 644 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 5: if you would have told us ahead of time, like, hey, 645 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 5: there's going to be this actually good game that ends 646 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 5: in overtime. But it's Jake Browning and Nick mals Moven, 647 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 5: Like what are you talking about? So I don't exactly 648 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 5: know what he was saying, but you know whatever, you know, like, 649 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 5: I think Lamar Jackson is special and perhaps he should 650 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 5: just stick to complimenting the person season, trying to compliment, 651 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 5: not putting others. I don't know. 652 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, computer for. 653 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 4: Real, because all of those quarterbacks are playing, they're doing 654 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 4: their job for their team. 655 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 2: That's what was weird about it. 656 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 3: Now you mentioned this, Cynthia, this has been the year 657 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 3: of the backup quarterback. We've seen fifty six quarterbacks start 658 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 3: this season, which backup has kind of stand it out 659 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 3: stood out to you as a star. 660 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 5: Well, I mean Jake Browning, that t Higgins catch that 661 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 5: just ended this well, it's almost it was the game 662 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 5: tire to set us into overtime. That was I mean, 663 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,719 Speaker 5: he's helping te Higgins get paid. I think Jake Browning 664 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 5: probably because we didn't. I mean, he's out of Washington 665 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 5: and he had a nice career. There's like some stigma 666 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 5: around certain you know, pack twelve quarterbacks or you can 667 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 5: even call it that anymore whatever, the former formerly known 668 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 5: as pack twelve quarterback where you know, is what it is. 669 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 5: But like, like, look like he's out here dealing. He 670 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 5: uses his lags. He's kind of this multipurpose thread. He's 671 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 5: done a really great job, so I mean, if nothing else, 672 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 5: he has secured himself a very long career as a backup, which, 673 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 5: by the way, that would be the job I would 674 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 5: want if I went into the NFL. 675 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 4: The AFC is a mess in the best way, so chaotic. 676 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 4: We don't know what's going to happen, and I love it. 677 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 4: Who do you think is more in a groove in 678 00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 4: this last stretch of the season. The Broncos are the Bills. 679 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 5: Well, okay, there's a couple of ways to look at this. 680 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 5: Number One, the Broncos started off so bad, like so 681 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 5: bad that we take their win streak or they're you know, 682 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 5: all but one game win streak and say, wow, they've 683 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 5: like they're so different and you know all of their 684 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 5: all of their flaws have been fixed, or you know, 685 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 5: many of their flaws have been fixed, and I just 686 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 5: I hit the pause button on that for a second, 687 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 5: because you know, we saw, you see some things, like 688 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 5: like most teams, like I think they were overly kind 689 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 5: of dinged for being you know, one one possession losers, 690 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,479 Speaker 5: but in the beginning of the season, and maybe overly 691 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,959 Speaker 5: celebrated for some of the stuff that we're doing now 692 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 5: in terms of like where you think their trajectory could be, 693 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 5: because you know, while I've seen Russell Wilson significantly improve, 694 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 5: I still see a lot of the stuff that gets 695 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 5: him into trouble as of late. You know, in his 696 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 5: later career, he used to be great at improvising and 697 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 5: like you know, throwing on the run outside of the 698 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 5: box with no protection, but that doesn't seem to be 699 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 5: the case anymore. And ever since he hurt his hand 700 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 5: all the way back in Seattle a couple of seasons ago, 701 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 5: like you know, that was it just changed the way 702 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,399 Speaker 5: he plays. So while I think they it's been great 703 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 5: to see them have a big turnaround. I love when 704 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 5: things are competitive. Pats are TAM's crushing it. Baron Browning 705 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 5: is a difference maker and he didn't play at the 706 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 5: beginning of the season. I still think like we got 707 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,479 Speaker 5: to pump the brakes there, just because we're seeing Josh 708 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,840 Speaker 5: Allen in his prime and we're seeing an opportunity for 709 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 5: I mean, look, it's not their offense, it's the problems. 710 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,800 Speaker 5: It's really the Bill's defense and all of their injuries, 711 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,360 Speaker 5: and they've got even more. Ajfaness isn't playing, you know, 712 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 5: Micah Hyde's not playing this week either, the spine of 713 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,399 Speaker 5: their defense. So it just feels like with Josh Allen 714 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 5: in this part of his career where it means so 715 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 5: much to you know, for him and this is this 716 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 5: is his prime where not to say that Russell Wilkins 717 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 5: passed it, but he's a different type of player now. 718 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 5: So I just feel like the Bills, if they can 719 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 5: get this, if they can beat the Cowboys, that's a 720 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 5: much scarier, more dangerous team in the playoffs to me 721 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 5: than a team like if they make the playoffs, then 722 00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 5: a team like the Broncos would be okay. 723 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 3: So that's the game of the week, the Cowboys at 724 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 3: the Bills. What are the numbers saying, who are you 725 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 3: taking and why? 726 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 5: This is an interesting one because ahead of this week 727 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,319 Speaker 5: I had the Bills winning this twenty seven to twenty five. 728 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 5: Now I keep rerunning it with all these injuries. Like 729 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 5: I said, aj Fanessa out, Micah Hyde out, I'm gonna 730 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 5: have to see what goes on because there's some Cowboys 731 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,760 Speaker 5: are on there injury report too, So this is about 732 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,359 Speaker 5: as close as they can get. I do actually still 733 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,919 Speaker 5: by a tiny margin. Have the Bills pulling this out 734 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 5: in part because it's outdoor in their territory. It's going 735 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 5: to be hard for the Cowboys to be able to 736 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 5: hear things. We've seen the Cowboys abandon the run game 737 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 5: perhaps a little bit too early this season. It's weird 738 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,879 Speaker 5: saying that, like just Mike McCarthy right, Like it's weird 739 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,760 Speaker 5: saying that, but it's true. And if they can contain, 740 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 5: like they need to put like three players on ceedee 741 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,320 Speaker 5: lamb and force the second guy to beat you. But 742 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 5: I will say, in terms of expected points added EPA, 743 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 5: the Cowboys or I'm sorry, the Bills are actually the 744 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 5: worst at the number two receiver. So if you have 745 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 5: like a Brandon Cook in your fantasy lineup, or maybe 746 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 5: even I guess you could you could even say like that, 747 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,439 Speaker 5: you know, maybe it's a tight end that you should 748 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,799 Speaker 5: be looking at too. Uh, If you have either one 749 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 5: of those, perhaps that's good for you in fantasy, but 750 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 5: watch out for that. It could be like the Cooks 751 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 5: Killer game. 752 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,359 Speaker 3: I love when you talk numbers to us. Cynthia, thank 753 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 3: you so much for joining us.

The ref said in the quarter, second quarter, 797 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,840 Speaker 2: And the ref said, is because he used the language 798 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 2: that they aimed something to him.

He's going to be 1003 00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,600 Speaker 3: in like anger management classes. Yeah, listen if that helps her, 1004 00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 3: who knows. 1005 00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:53,000 Speaker 2: I just don't. 1006 00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,880 Speaker 3: I don't think he thinks he's done anything wrong. He 1007 00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,239 Speaker 3: said that, he goes, I don't apologize for anything. I 1008 00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,279 Speaker 3: apologize because I didn't mean to do that and I 1009 00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,680 Speaker 3: hit him, which is such like a like like a 1010 00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:06,520 Speaker 3: little kid, like not I didn't do anything wrong, but 1011 00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,080 Speaker 3: like I guess I'll say I'm sorry, so I don't 1012 00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,440 Speaker 3: get in trouble, right, Like, I just don't think he 1013 00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:12,399 Speaker 3: believes that he's done anything wrong. 1014 00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:13,759 Speaker 2: And so how is he going to change. 1015 00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,040 Speaker 3: If he thinks he is not in the wrong, you 1016 00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,279 Speaker 3: just like and you lose what you love, which is 1017 00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:18,680 Speaker 3: the game. 1018 00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,959 Speaker 2: Right, He's got a podcast, he'll be fine, he'll be fine. 1019 00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:24,640 Speaker 3: All right. Well, let's move to another weird kind of 1020 00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:28,120 Speaker 3: at a character situation that we saw in the NBA 1021 00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 3: this week. 1022 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,920 Speaker 2: It's the Yannis game ball situation. So let's run through it. 1023 00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:32,160 Speaker 11: Right. 1024 00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,279 Speaker 3: So, Yanna scored a career high sixty four points on 1025 00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,920 Speaker 3: Wednesday night, also a Bucks franchise record. 1026 00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:38,280 Speaker 2: Correct. 1027 00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:42,000 Speaker 3: However, a rookie on the Pacers also scored his first 1028 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:46,400 Speaker 3: NBA point. So now, usually in both these situations you 1029 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,920 Speaker 3: would get the game ball. So after the game, we 1030 00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:56,320 Speaker 3: see Yannis going ham like, yelling at people, running towards 1031 00:48:56,400 --> 00:49:00,239 Speaker 3: the Pacers locker room. Someone's holding him back, trying to 1032 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:07,919 Speaker 3: find this game ball. And my first thought was, Okay, 1033 00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:11,279 Speaker 3: I didn't I didn't realize how important these games ball 1034 00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,160 Speaker 3: were in these situations, and especially someone like Janis, who 1035 00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,920 Speaker 3: was such a seems like a calm, like a calm, 1036 00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,719 Speaker 3: humbled spirit. He like cracks a lot of jokes. He's 1037 00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:22,960 Speaker 3: a very happy person. 1038 00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:28,160 Speaker 2: It just but I it's hard. 1039 00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:33,239 Speaker 3: I understand why you would react over a game ball, 1040 00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:38,440 Speaker 3: because again, it's a franchise record, a career record for you, 1041 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:43,200 Speaker 3: you're at home, like you're looking for the game ball 1042 00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:47,920 Speaker 3: while you're at home. It just it felt like a 1043 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:48,920 Speaker 3: weird reaction. 1044 00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:51,800 Speaker 2: I mean, I get what you're saying, weird because it 1045 00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:52,240 Speaker 2: was Yannest. 1046 00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:52,600 Speaker 8: Yeah. 1047 00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:54,919 Speaker 2: I am on his side. 1048 00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:59,720 Speaker 4: The Pacers did this on purpose. Oscar Sheboy has scored, 1049 00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,040 Speaker 4: but they're saying, oh, no, it was in the nd 1050 00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,240 Speaker 4: season tournament, so it doesn't count. 1051 00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:08,799 Speaker 2: He's already scored. What are you talking about, Oscar she Play. 1052 00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:10,160 Speaker 2: Nobody's heard of you. 1053 00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,560 Speaker 4: I am so happy you hit a free throw in 1054 00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:17,440 Speaker 4: that game. Congratulations. Your coach can give you something else. 1055 00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:21,200 Speaker 4: When the coach Carlile spoke after, he's like, oh, they 1056 00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:22,560 Speaker 4: just wanted to give it to the rookie. 1057 00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:23,960 Speaker 2: I was like, somebody slap this man. 1058 00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,040 Speaker 4: Do not play with me that you think this rookie 1059 00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:30,240 Speaker 4: deserved the ball over Janni Santa Tookompo breaking the record. 1060 00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,840 Speaker 2: For the franchise at home. Do not play with me. 1061 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,040 Speaker 2: I could not believe the Pacers. 1062 00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,200 Speaker 4: Did that, and I couldn't believe Rick Carlile made it 1063 00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:40,920 Speaker 4: seem like it wasn't a big deal. Bro, I was 1064 00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,520 Speaker 4: one hundred with you. Honest, I would have been throwing 1065 00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:46,880 Speaker 4: punches if that was my game ball. Sixty four points? 1066 00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:48,840 Speaker 4: How hard are it is to score sixty points? 1067 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:49,400 Speaker 3: It's insane. 1068 00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:51,799 Speaker 2: That's not an easy thing to do. He may never 1069 00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,359 Speaker 2: do it again. Yeah, and he can't break his own record. 1070 00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,520 Speaker 2: I mean he can, but again, that's too hard to do. 1071 00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,480 Speaker 3: And the hard part is after and his presser, it's like, well, 1072 00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,040 Speaker 3: did you get the It's like, yeah, but I don't 1073 00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:02,920 Speaker 3: feel like that was so freaking funny.

Not not promoting violence. I'm just 1089 00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:41,040 Speaker 2: saying I would have swung. 1090 00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what he needed.

There were probably over 1141 00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:57,440 Speaker 7: one thousand media members there. Everybody was very excited. All 1142 00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:01,640 Speaker 7: the you know Dodgers, you know, or they had their 1143 00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:03,439 Speaker 7: manager there.

Why is this the perfect fit for 1153 00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:25,960 Speaker 3: both of them? 1154 00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think there's so many reasons that this was 1155 00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:32,000 Speaker 7: the perfect sit. You know, you could go through other 1156 00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:35,120 Speaker 7: teams and find pros to show hey going there, but 1157 00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:37,880 Speaker 7: they were also cons for going to those teams. With 1158 00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,960 Speaker 7: the Dodgers, there never really felt like a con for 1159 00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:43,719 Speaker 7: him ending up there. You know, they're a team that 1160 00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:47,080 Speaker 7: is ready to win right now and for the future. 1161 00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:50,239 Speaker 7: They have MVPs everywhere you look in that line up, 1162 00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:53,840 Speaker 7: Mookie Bets, Freddie Freeman and those guys, and then you 1163 00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:57,399 Speaker 7: know their willingness to Not every team can afford seven 1164 00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:00,239 Speaker 7: hundred million dollars and they were able to do that. 1165 00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:02,440 Speaker 7: And I think it was the perfect storm for him. 1166 00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:04,640 Speaker 7: And it's not it's not going to result in a 1167 00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,759 Speaker 7: huge move for him or something that he's uncomfortable with. 1168 00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,719 Speaker 7: It's right down the road, and it just always felt 1169 00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:12,160 Speaker 7: like it was going to be that perfect fit. 1170 00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:16,839 Speaker 4: So obviously, Ben, the Dodgers are now favored to win, 1171 00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:20,359 Speaker 4: but in baseball, more than any other sport, the best 1172 00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:24,480 Speaker 4: team doesn't always win. So if the Dodgers don't win 1173 00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,520 Speaker 4: the World Series, would you say it's a failure of 1174 00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:30,319 Speaker 4: a season or do you think just reaching the World 1175 00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:32,960 Speaker 4: Series in the first year is success enough? 1176 00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:36,759 Speaker 7: You know, I think to answer that question, it's going 1177 00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:40,239 Speaker 7: to be over the ten years. You know, I would 1178 00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:42,920 Speaker 7: put a number on it and say they have to 1179 00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,040 Speaker 7: win multiple championships over the ten years for it to 1180 00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:49,680 Speaker 7: be successful. Do I think next year, you know, I 1181 00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:54,839 Speaker 7: honestly wouldn't unless they end up getting Yamamoto, I still 1182 00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:59,720 Speaker 7: would be unsure about their pitching. And obviously they're the favorite, 1183 00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,520 Speaker 7: but he's not going to pitch next year, So would 1184 00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:04,759 Speaker 7: I consider it a failure. Next year if they're not 1185 00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:08,719 Speaker 7: World Series champions No, they'll they's fall so difficult to 1186 00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,640 Speaker 7: say you got to win next year or else. That's 1187 00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:13,880 Speaker 7: just not out it works. But over the course of 1188 00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,719 Speaker 7: his ten year contract with the Dodgers, if they don't 1189 00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:19,680 Speaker 7: win multiple World Series championships, I would say at that 1190 00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:21,280 Speaker 7: point it would be a failure. 1191 00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, let's talk about that contract because some people 1192 00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,480 Speaker 3: are impressed with it and some are upset with how 1193 00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:30,160 Speaker 3: a Tony structured his contract deferring six hundred and eighty 1194 00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:32,279 Speaker 3: million of the seven hundred million. Where do you sit 1195 00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:32,719 Speaker 3: with all of this? 1196 00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:38,719 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's it's so unique, right, and we heard unprecedented 1197 00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:40,640 Speaker 7: deferrals when it first came out, and we didn't know 1198 00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,160 Speaker 7: what that meant. Well, now we do know what it means. 1199 00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:45,680 Speaker 7: And the guy's making seven hundred million, and he's only 1200 00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:47,279 Speaker 7: going to be making two million a year for the 1201 00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,160 Speaker 7: next ten years and then getting six hundred and eighty 1202 00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,799 Speaker 7: million when those ten years are up. So I went 1203 00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,600 Speaker 7: back and forth a lot on this, and where I 1204 00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:59,319 Speaker 7: finished up was that I think it makes a lot 1205 00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,480 Speaker 7: of sense, and it's not like the Dodgers are pulling 1206 00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:04,680 Speaker 7: a fast one over the league. You know, this is 1207 00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:07,640 Speaker 7: these are this is well within the rules. It's not 1208 00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,200 Speaker 7: like he's only costing the team two million dollars in 1209 00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:13,800 Speaker 7: accordance to the competitive balance tax. It's still going to 1210 00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:17,200 Speaker 7: be about forty six million dollars to that. So basically 1211 00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,840 Speaker 7: what's happening is he's costing the team forty six million 1212 00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:23,600 Speaker 7: dollars still and basically donating forty four loaning them forty 1213 00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:25,600 Speaker 7: four million dollars and saying I'm only going to take 1214 00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:28,520 Speaker 7: two million dollars go spend that money elsewhere. So I 1215 00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,120 Speaker 7: think it speaks volumes to the person that show Hey 1216 00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:34,760 Speaker 7: is how badly he wants to win, that that's really 1217 00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:37,640 Speaker 7: all this is. And I think a lot of people 1218 00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:42,880 Speaker 7: struggle to understand to understand just how much show Hey 1219 00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:45,640 Speaker 7: is all about winning. I think people say that, but 1220 00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:47,720 Speaker 7: at the end of the day, what it comes down to, 1221 00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:50,200 Speaker 7: and I've talked to a lot of players in the 1222 00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:53,000 Speaker 7: league and around the league and ask him about this, 1223 00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:56,680 Speaker 7: and I think what it comes down to is players 1224 00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,320 Speaker 7: just aren't willing to defer all of their money. He's 1225 00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:02,440 Speaker 7: deferring ninety seven percent of his contracts. That's just not 1226 00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:06,160 Speaker 7: something that's humans not just sports like people aren't willing 1227 00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:08,200 Speaker 7: to say no, I'm not going to take my money now, 1228 00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:11,000 Speaker 7: I'll take it later. Let's do our job better. And 1229 00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:13,160 Speaker 7: that's what he's doing. And that is a testament to 1230 00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,240 Speaker 7: him as a person. He wants to win. And that's it. 1231 00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:18,600 Speaker 4: You just mentioned that he said spend the money elsewhere. 1232 00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:20,840 Speaker 4: Alex said he's making it so the Dodgers can have 1233 00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:23,440 Speaker 4: their cake and eat it too. So on top of 1234 00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:26,960 Speaker 4: already signing show Hey, the Dodgers have signed Tyler Glass 1235 00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:29,000 Speaker 4: now to a five year, one hundred and thirty six 1236 00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:30,520 Speaker 4: million dollar contract. 1237 00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:33,240 Speaker 2: What do you think that does for the Dodgers? 1238 00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:35,520 Speaker 4: Because I agree that one player doesn't move the needle, 1239 00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:37,360 Speaker 4: but now we got two players. 1240 00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:39,160 Speaker 2: How much of the needle is moving here for. 1241 00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:42,000 Speaker 7: The Dodgers, it is, it is moving. For sure. They 1242 00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,960 Speaker 7: needed pitching. Show Head doesn't help with the pitching next year, 1243 00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:48,400 Speaker 7: so it was it was vital to get him, It 1244 00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:52,480 Speaker 7: really was. So Now, I mean, look, Lance Lenz started 1245 00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:54,959 Speaker 7: a playoff game for the Dodgers last year. You can't 1246 00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:58,560 Speaker 7: have that. Please, are going to get a gap. So 1247 00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:02,360 Speaker 7: going to get a guy Tyler Glass now and locking 1248 00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:05,800 Speaker 7: him up for the next five years is huge for them. 1249 00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:09,480 Speaker 7: And obviously there's some health concerns with him. He hasn't 1250 00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:11,600 Speaker 7: thrown over one hundred and twenty innings in his career. 1251 00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:14,560 Speaker 7: But if you can, you know the Dodgers that I 1252 00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:16,720 Speaker 7: promise you they're going to be, They're going to end 1253 00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:18,840 Speaker 7: up in the playoffs. So as long as he's healthy 1254 00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:22,040 Speaker 7: by that point and ready to go, then then it's 1255 00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:23,280 Speaker 7: going to be a huge pickup. 1256 00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:25,439 Speaker 2: And I just read that he has no deferred money 1257 00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:28,560 Speaker 2: in his contract. No, he's not a shoo TONI that's 1258 00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:31,360 Speaker 2: just crazy home lie. So okay, I'm going to put 1259 00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:31,840 Speaker 2: you on the spot. 1260 00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:35,360 Speaker 3: Then you said it's over the the course of ten years, 1261 00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:37,800 Speaker 3: right that they need to win multiple World Series. Who 1262 00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:39,400 Speaker 3: is your World Series favorite. 1263 00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:41,480 Speaker 7: Right now for this next year? 1264 00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:41,840 Speaker 2: Yeah? 1265 00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:47,600 Speaker 7: I mean I would say, Man, it's largely going to 1266 00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:51,240 Speaker 7: depend on if whoever gets Yamamoto. And I say that 1267 00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:53,040 Speaker 7: because I think it's either going to be the Dodgers 1268 00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:55,560 Speaker 7: of the Yankees. I honestly think if the Yankees can 1269 00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:58,480 Speaker 7: get Yamamoto that they would be world serious favorites. I'm 1270 00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:01,160 Speaker 7: higher on them that I think a lot of people are. Yeah, 1271 01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:03,440 Speaker 7: because of the Sodo deal. I think if the Dodgers 1272 01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:06,440 Speaker 7: can get him, their absolutely World Series favorites. So I 1273 01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:08,280 Speaker 7: think that's going to be a big swing point for me. 1274 01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:10,640 Speaker 7: But right now, in the American League or in the 1275 01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:13,800 Speaker 7: National League, I still love the Braves. So right now 1276 01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:15,640 Speaker 7: I think the Braves and Dodgers are neck and neck, 1277 01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:18,000 Speaker 7: And if the Dodgers can get Yamamoto, I'd say their 1278 01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:18,880 Speaker 7: World serious favorites. 1279 01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:20,720 Speaker 3: I mean, can we just imagine, I mean the world 1280 01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:25,560 Speaker 3: needs the Dodgers and the Yankees. Yes, the World Series 1281 01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:28,240 Speaker 3: like that would just be that would be so great 1282 01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:29,840 Speaker 3: for baseball that way everybody. 1283 01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:33,880 Speaker 2: Maybe not for you, but who else has won the offseason? 1284 01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:39,240 Speaker 7: You know, I've been really pleased to see what the 1285 01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:41,720 Speaker 7: Kansas City Royals have done. And I know that's not 1286 01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:44,200 Speaker 7: the most exciting answer, So I can give you a 1287 01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:49,640 Speaker 7: couple but one. Hearing that question, look, you want to say, 1288 01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:52,400 Speaker 7: like this is the thing for me with baseball. You 1289 01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:55,440 Speaker 7: have you have the Dodgers doing what they're doing, and 1290 01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:57,800 Speaker 7: that's great, and I think I think the game of 1291 01:00:57,880 --> 01:00:59,760 Speaker 7: baseball is better for the team that they're going to 1292 01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:02,280 Speaker 7: put this year. And then you have a team like 1293 01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:05,280 Speaker 7: the Royals that has signed more free agents this offseason 1294 01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:09,080 Speaker 7: than any other team. So you know, I talk about 1295 01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:10,960 Speaker 7: that and I say how cool I think that is, 1296 01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:13,480 Speaker 7: and the response is, well, they're still not going to 1297 01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:15,760 Speaker 7: win the division. They're still not going to they still 1298 01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:18,280 Speaker 7: can't beat the Dodgers, And I think people are missing 1299 01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:20,840 Speaker 7: the point there. The whole point is that you have 1300 01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:25,040 Speaker 7: this team that's underperforming and they're finally going out and 1301 01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:29,040 Speaker 7: buying in and getting players and making their team better, 1302 01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:32,520 Speaker 7: and you have an ownership that's that's actually wanting to compete, 1303 01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:35,400 Speaker 7: and I think that's what the game needs, is not. 1304 01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:37,640 Speaker 7: You know, it's great when the Dodgers are going to 1305 01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:39,160 Speaker 7: be good, it's great when the Yankees are good, but 1306 01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:41,560 Speaker 7: having a team like the Royals actually go out and 1307 01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:45,000 Speaker 7: spend one hundred million dollars on players this offseason and 1308 01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:46,840 Speaker 7: field a team that's going to be competitive. So I 1309 01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:48,880 Speaker 7: think the Royals have done really well. I think the 1310 01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:52,600 Speaker 7: Yankees have vastly improved solely because of getting Won Soto. 1311 01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:54,320 Speaker 7: I think he's one of the best hitters in baseball, 1312 01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:57,080 Speaker 7: and I think the Yankees have improved big time for sure. 1313 01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:02,320 Speaker 7: So I'll go Yankees, Yankees and Royals far and obviously, obviously. 1314 01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:07,440 Speaker 2: Ben, we all know that you love shown I do. 1315 01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:08,320 Speaker 13: We all know that. 1316 01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:10,240 Speaker 2: You tell the world and we all know that. 1317 01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:13,680 Speaker 4: I just said to Alex like a couple of minutes ago, 1318 01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:16,080 Speaker 4: I was like, I don't think he loves anyone. 1319 01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:20,680 Speaker 2: Anyone else more than he than he loves brother.

Okay, they 1445 01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:02,240 Speaker 3: do not have a lot of room for error anymore. 1446 01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,680 Speaker 3: They are seven and six, second in the AFC East 1447 01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:09,560 Speaker 3: behind the Dolphins. They are currently outside of the playoff picture. 1448 01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:11,320 Speaker 2: Looking in. They are in eleventh. 1449 01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:15,240 Speaker 3: Place in a six team tie that are all seven 1450 01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:19,320 Speaker 3: and six, and they got to play to get in. 1451 01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:24,479 Speaker 3: They control their own destiny right when to get in. 1452 01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:25,920 Speaker 2: Even if they went three. 1453 01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:30,160 Speaker 3: Of their last four, they could be in play, maybe 1454 01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:32,400 Speaker 3: even for the divisions or final games against the Dolphins. 1455 01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:36,679 Speaker 3: Their remaining schedule bills remaining schedule. They got versus the Cowboys, 1456 01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:41,880 Speaker 3: at Chargers, oh good, they should get versus Patriots they 1457 01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:45,000 Speaker 3: should get and then at Dolphins. Yeah, that's gonna be 1458 01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:50,759 Speaker 3: a tough fee. So they've got They are literally playing 1459 01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:55,160 Speaker 3: for their playoff hopes starting tomorrow. Now let's look at 1460 01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:58,240 Speaker 3: the Cowboys side of things. Okay, they've been on a roll, 1461 01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:01,760 Speaker 3: five game winning stream. Huge win against the Eagles last 1462 01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:03,839 Speaker 3: weekend bump them up to the top of the division. 1463 01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:08,200 Speaker 3: But they haven't been great against teams with a winning record. 1464 01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:10,719 Speaker 3: They're one and two against teams with the winning record, 1465 01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:13,960 Speaker 3: nine to one against teams with a losing record, So 1466 01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:16,599 Speaker 3: they're winning the games that they are supposed to win. 1467 01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:24,040 Speaker 3: Dak's having a career season career high and completion percentage 1468 01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:27,599 Speaker 3: career high in passer rating. He is in the MVP 1469 01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:30,639 Speaker 3: conversation a lot of people have him as the favorite. 1470 01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:33,680 Speaker 3: I think if he can win in Buffalo against a 1471 01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:39,240 Speaker 3: great quarterback, he's gonna win over all the doubters. It 1472 01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:44,120 Speaker 3: would be just such a definition of a statement win 1473 01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:47,080 Speaker 3: for Dak if he can pull that off. 1474 01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:51,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, obviously, that's I think you said it exactly right. 1475 01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:54,880 Speaker 4: What is on the line for the Cowboys. 1476 01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:57,439 Speaker 2: It's actually the MVP for Dak. 1477 01:09:57,520 --> 01:09:59,920 Speaker 4: It is, that's what because the Cowboys are, like you said, 1478 01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,240 Speaker 4: they're good and they're gonna be in the playoffs unless 1479 01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:03,000 Speaker 4: I don't know, if something. 1480 01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:06,200 Speaker 3: Say like the remaining schedule. They're at Bills than at Dolphins, 1481 01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:09,960 Speaker 3: tough versus Lions at Commanders, so they can they can first, 1482 01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:11,559 Speaker 3: they should be able to win two of those. 1483 01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:14,080 Speaker 4: They right, right, get it right. But that's what's on 1484 01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:17,040 Speaker 4: the line. It's Dak Prescott's MVP. 1485 01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:19,879 Speaker 3: He's got to perform. 1486 01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:22,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then for the Bills, it's the season. It's 1487 01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:26,559 Speaker 2: the season. But you know this isn't a bad thing. 1488 01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:29,800 Speaker 4: But Dak, to me, is the type of player that's me, me, me, 1489 01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:32,439 Speaker 4: me me, Like I think he's more worried about himself 1490 01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:35,640 Speaker 4: than he's about to His phone is a picture of 1491 01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:39,040 Speaker 4: himself with his jersey to motivate him. 1492 01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:42,479 Speaker 2: Now you're supposed to be no Dak talk. 1493 01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:44,960 Speaker 3: He seems like such a team guy and when you 1494 01:10:45,040 --> 01:10:47,559 Speaker 3: hear his teammates talk about him, they talk about how 1495 01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:50,439 Speaker 3: great of a person and a leader, and he could. 1496 01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:53,519 Speaker 2: I don't think it's a bad thing. I'm not saying 1497 01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:54,120 Speaker 2: it as a bad thing. 1498 01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:55,880 Speaker 4: I really I am not and he could be all 1499 01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:59,479 Speaker 4: those things. I just think it fuels him more because 1500 01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:00,519 Speaker 4: he's the MVP. 1501 01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:01,200 Speaker 2: Is on Jalen. 1502 01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:04,519 Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts' background on his phone was like them losing 1503 01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:09,080 Speaker 3: in the Super bowls falling motivating of him with this jersey, 1504 01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:10,960 Speaker 3: But we don't know what game that's from. Maybe again 1505 01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:13,080 Speaker 3: it was a bad loss and he's reminding himself like 1506 01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:15,320 Speaker 3: you never want to be where again, because we know 1507 01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:17,560 Speaker 3: for Jalen Hurts it was a loss. We win in 1508 01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:19,599 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. You see confetti following in the different 1509 01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:20,840 Speaker 3: the different color. 1510 01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:22,760 Speaker 2: And again this is not a bad thing. It's what 1511 01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:23,479 Speaker 2: fuels him. 1512 01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:27,360 Speaker 4: So I actually think he is going to put up 1513 01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:33,400 Speaker 4: the numbers that he needs to for his MVP, you know, conversation. 1514 01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:36,439 Speaker 2: I just don't know if the Cowboys will win. I 1515 01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:38,120 Speaker 2: think Dak is going to have a great game. 1516 01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:42,200 Speaker 3: I think the Cowboys have more to prove tomorrow, don't 1517 01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:42,679 Speaker 3: they always? 1518 01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:46,200 Speaker 2: Poor Cowboys? I mean like they always have to prove yeah. 1519 01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:50,519 Speaker 3: Right when they have I think it's what like four 1520 01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:54,880 Speaker 3: playoff wins of the last twenty three years, Like they 1521 01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:58,200 Speaker 3: keep being this great regular season team where we think 1522 01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:01,439 Speaker 3: they are, and then they have just he's devastating. 1523 01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:04,160 Speaker 4: Fallen short of the expectation for many. So it's it's 1524 01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:06,880 Speaker 4: but that's the Bills right now, right prove me wrong, 1525 01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:12,000 Speaker 4: Like Bills also, Bills are having short of expectations. 1526 01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:14,439 Speaker 3: I mean, Josh Allen is a majority of that. 1527 01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:17,240 Speaker 2: No, Josh Allen, he is a man in that team. 1528 01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:18,040 Speaker 2: He is that team. 1529 01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:21,000 Speaker 3: He is willing this team to win. He is so 1530 01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:25,559 Speaker 3: incredibly talented, and I think they have. We were talking 1531 01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:27,040 Speaker 3: to Cynthia earlier and I asked her, like, what do 1532 01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:31,519 Speaker 3: the numbers say? She is the analytics expert for NFL Network, 1533 01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:33,719 Speaker 3: and she says she has to keep running the numbers, 1534 01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:35,320 Speaker 3: and she keeps going back and forth because there's a 1535 01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:37,720 Speaker 3: lot of injuries kind of on both sides, and it's 1536 01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:40,200 Speaker 3: coming up almost as a coin flip. I think the 1537 01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:42,439 Speaker 3: numbers are coming up almost as a coin flip. So 1538 01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:47,120 Speaker 3: this is going to be it's in Buffalo, which it's outside, 1539 01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:50,679 Speaker 3: which I think is in the Bill's favor a slight 1540 01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:54,760 Speaker 3: one hundred percent favor. Well, I'm gonna save my pick 1541 01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:57,640 Speaker 3: for the next segment. But I think that the Cowboys. 1542 01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:01,960 Speaker 3: I think Dak has a lot more to prove, and 1543 01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:05,439 Speaker 3: the Cowboys have a lot more to prove because they need. Yes, 1544 01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:08,639 Speaker 3: they got a big win against the Eagles, Yeah, last weekend. 1545 01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:09,160 Speaker 13: That was. 1546 01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:13,559 Speaker 3: Like their first big win against a winning team, one 1547 01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:15,679 Speaker 3: of the best teams, and it was a dominant wine. 1548 01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:18,200 Speaker 4: That was another big part of it. I state that exactly. 1549 01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:21,599 Speaker 4: So you know, like if if the cow I think 1550 01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:24,120 Speaker 4: it's going to be a very close game. But you know, 1551 01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:26,280 Speaker 4: like if the Cowboys just make it a close game 1552 01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:28,400 Speaker 4: and Dak has a good game, He's still going to 1553 01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:33,880 Speaker 4: be in the MVP conversation. Even if they lose. I 1554 01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:37,800 Speaker 4: think the Bills cannot lose. They lose, no, no, no, 1555 01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:41,600 Speaker 4: they're playing for their their playoff hopes. Just to remind you, 1556 01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:43,680 Speaker 4: they are currently in eleventh place. 1557 01:13:44,479 --> 01:13:48,320 Speaker 3: In a sixteen tie. They're all seven and six. It's 1558 01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:51,040 Speaker 3: a mess, Like they have to they have to win 1559 01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:52,640 Speaker 3: to get in. 1560 01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:54,320 Speaker 2: A chaotic mess. 1561 01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:57,559 Speaker 3: There's still a lot. But again, like the Dolphins haven't 1562 01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:00,519 Speaker 3: looked that great either, Like is Hill going to be healthy? 1563 01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:02,880 Speaker 3: Like down the stretch, Like there's a lot of question 1564 01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:04,120 Speaker 3: marks with the team right above them. 1565 01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:05,800 Speaker 2: And they know that that's the whole thing. 1566 01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:09,000 Speaker 4: It's like, we have an actual chance when you know, 1567 01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:11,280 Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago, it looked like Man and. 1568 01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:13,759 Speaker 3: Bills are playing Dolphins last regular game of the season 1569 01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:14,879 Speaker 3: in Miami. 1570 01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:18,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, there is. There's just a lot for both teams. 1571 01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:19,280 Speaker 2: There's a lot. 1572 01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:23,479 Speaker 3: Cowboys play the Dolphins next weekend, so I mean they 1573 01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:25,400 Speaker 3: have back the Dolphins have back. 1574 01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:28,280 Speaker 2: To back tough games, tough games. Yeah, no, the Dolphins 1575 01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:28,559 Speaker 2: have a. 1576 01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:32,080 Speaker 4: Tough end of long strike. 1577 01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:33,120 Speaker 3: Let's yeah. 1578 01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:34,600 Speaker 2: But we're talking about. 1579 01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:37,280 Speaker 4: It's just it's all connected though, it's all connected. 1580 01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:41,200 Speaker 2: It's all connected, magical. 1581 01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:43,559 Speaker 3: Okay, we're gonna take one more break here, but when 1582 01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:46,439 Speaker 3: we come back, Monsey and I, we're gonna go through. 1583 01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:49,080 Speaker 3: We're gonna give you our NFL picks. You're listening to 1584 01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:50,000 Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio. 1585 01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:50,559 Speaker 14: That's right. 1586 01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:52,840 Speaker 11: Bench. 1587 01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:54,880 Speaker 14: You floats the left side, the moss, moss the ten. 1588 01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:57,280 Speaker 14: He's at the five angling for the pylon. We gotta 1589 01:14:57,280 --> 01:14:59,519 Speaker 14: flag at the end of the play and it's no 1590 01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:02,920 Speaker 14: touch down. Moss is down for the time being. He's 1591 01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:05,720 Speaker 14: also shaken up and it is ruled a touchdown very 1592 01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:07,519 Speaker 14: very late by the far side. 1593 01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:10,280 Speaker 2: Judge, you just heard Colts Radio network. 1594 01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:12,360 Speaker 4: They did get in the end zone, they scored, and 1595 01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:14,880 Speaker 4: they had a chance right now Alex to score again, 1596 01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:18,000 Speaker 4: weren't able to convert. So the Steelers are still up 1597 01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:20,639 Speaker 4: thirteen to seven. But there's three and a half minutes 1598 01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:24,439 Speaker 4: left in the second quarter, so plenty of game for 1599 01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:27,679 Speaker 4: a team. Both are seven and six, like they both 1600 01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:28,519 Speaker 4: need this win. 1601 01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:31,519 Speaker 3: Yes, they do so many that this week, you know, 1602 01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:35,400 Speaker 3: playing for the playoffs.
