It's like the wheels 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:23.360 fell off and it got really ugly in the fourth quarter. 0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:25.119 You're like, feel like, what the hell happened? I feel 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:25.880 like in the fourth quarter. 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:27.800 Not to sound gross, but if you dipped away to 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:30.160 take a little bathroom break and you're sitting there a 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.759 little long, you were doing the ball scroll, you might 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:35.240 have came back to a completely different game. Yeah, way, 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:37.720 this is this is close, man, give a seven to six, 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:38.520 all right, ten to six? 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:41.280 They were a touchdown, they win it, and then you. 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:43.440 Blink your eyes thirty six, you know, go read your 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:44.400 kid a bedtime. 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.280 Story, go back to the living room, and it's thirty 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:46.760 to six. 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:51.440 So between Rogers and Tomlin and your boy Warners in 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.960 the news, plus Showboy Mahomes is stopping by, and we 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.240 got some trivia, we got prizes.

It was just like I'm gonna run 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.600 for a touchdown. I thought that was awesome. That's that's 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:42.399 the big guy, the big dude. 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:47.320 Any time a big boys chugging. 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:48.280 Out of respect. 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:49.760 I just looked up his name because I was going 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:51.000 to say, remember when the. 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:54.280 Big fella, because everyone knows what big fella. 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.880 Sheldon Rankins, And he got love after the game in 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:57.680 the post game as well. 0:02:57.720 --> 0:02:58.840 But I gotta s he's a big man. 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:03.880 And because in that moment when Rogers got popped and 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:07.400 his helmet looked like it mangled his head in slow motion. 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:08.240 That looked brutal. 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.799 When that ball goes to the ground, you assume big 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.200 dudes are gonna fall on the ball. That guy just 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:16.240 reach his hand down like, well there's the ball. Well 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.200 it's a risk to move. You're taught to fall on 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:19.880 the ball. Yeah, but he did not, and it worked 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:23.320 out went down favor. Yeah, he saw an opening, went 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:25.440 for it. That's a huge drill for a big fellow 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.120 like that. So yeah, it was a really close game. 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.040 It seemed like, tell your boy Danny G. 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:31.680 CJ. 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:35.880 Stroud was was giving them the game, keeping them minute. 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:39.080 You got to give props to their defense. Texans defense 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.800 continues to carry them and that's why they're the hottest 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:43.760 team in the NFL ten in a row now, right, 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.600 So man, you really got to take them serious moving 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.560 forward because they turned it around. You thought it was close, 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:51.880 but it really really was it. When he stepped out. 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:55.000 You could tell that the Steelers offense was gassed there. 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:55.720 At the fourth quarter. 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.720 It was so embarrassing at them. I'm though, you know, 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.920 offensive line specialist. You know, I'm not a Kyle Shanahan 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:07.800 of sorts, but I mean that offensive line for Pittsburgh 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:12.360 was either collapsing or the running backs were taking weird angles. 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:16.679 I feel like every running attempt, you know, when Aaron Rodgers, 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.720 you know, every offensive pocket was collapsing on Rogers, there 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:20.600 wasn't a lot he could do. 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:20.760 Go. 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:22.560 What I'm saying is we all know that even if 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.800 the running game's not working, you have to run the 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:26.480 ball once in a while just to keep the defense 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:28.760 on their toes. Like you can't just say we're abandoning 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:30.680 the run. But even on those runs where you're like 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:32.520 maybe we'll get to and it'll be second and eight, 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:34.960 it's second and eleven or second and twelve. Like the 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.920 running back was hitting the backfield every time, every time. 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:40.800 And I'm gonna call this the. 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:47.080 Rich loses in Vegas all the time theoryty theory. 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:48.040 I need to work. 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:50.520 I know we got to talk about Tomlin and Aaron Rodgers, 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:52.880 but I just thought of this, So let me kick 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:57.839 it with this thought. Can't get when we're in Vegas. 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.000 What happened the other day? We're in Vegas for I 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:00.480 to talk. 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:04.320 About that on the radio. Nothing happened? Oh? Or did it? 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:04.799 I'm kidding? 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:07.800 So I think I put up. 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:12.040 Uh you know a couple couple bucks. I play roulette. 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:15.599 It's a terrible choice of game. I love it because 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:17.400 I love to play, like my kid's birthday is my 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:20.240 favorite player's jersey numbers. And once in a blue moon 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.520 you throw ten bucks on Red sixteen and you're like 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:24.640 three hundred and sixty bucks. But then most of the 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.560 time I just blow one hundred dollars in five minutes. 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:29.600 So I'm playing Roulette and I come in. I look 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:34.560 up at the board. There's been about fifteen reds in 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:36.599 a row. And then I'm like, what did Wesley Snipes 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:37.120 always teach? 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:37.200 You? 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.080 Always been on black? Right there? I go, see you 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:42.080 got some black friends, now, didn't you? Didn't you? 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.760 I said, you know what it's been like, Red has hit. 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:45.279 A million times. 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.599 You gotta you gotta bet on black because it's bound 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.400 to happen. And there's two things in the playoffs that 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.400 I think we're gonna watch it happen and unfurl an 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:58.920 unfold Divisional Weekend Number one is we saw C. J. 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.960 Stroud have his blunder of a game last night that 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:05.920 will not happen again. He're still talking smacking lucky. They're 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:10.120 just lucky that they played a terrible opponent in a 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.640 team that shouldn't have even been there in the Steelers, right, 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:14.280 I mean they outclassed them. 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.919 They were at one point if you remember, they should 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.200 have been there. They got there. Come on, I know. 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:22.920 But Danny, the Texans were three and five, busted out 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:23.719 nine in a row. 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:25.800 You didn't say that about the Chargers. You didn't say 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:26.760 they shouldn't have been there. 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:27.760 They the Chargers. 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:33.280 But I think last night the Texans had their stinker 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.920 and they still clobbered the Steelers, like even at their worst, 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:40.400 they clobbered them. There was nothing very impressive thirty points. 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.880 If you didn't watch that game, you'd probably think something different. 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.000 But as Kivino and I was saying, fourth quarter that 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.240 game seven six, ten six, a snore fest, and then 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:52.120 it just got out of control, I think they tightened 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:54.640 up the ship. I think New England's in trouble next 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.000 week because I think Houston will not allow two games 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.080 like that in a row. So I think number one 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.280 Houston's ringing it as a three point underdog. I think 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.200 you go Houston heavy next week. And my other thought, 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.400 and this benefits me, Dan Byer in the hall, you 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:09.479 know what he said, to me, I don't want to 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.040 look at you because he's a Seahawks. 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:13.400 I go, damn, he goes out here. I don't want 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:13.880 to ug at you. 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:15.720 He said, your run ends here. 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:20.680 Yeah he did so, I said, you know, Sam Donald, 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:24.280 don't we feel like he's due for a stinker. Sam 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.200 Donald's been known every so often he has a game 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.760 where he's exposed, makes some mistakes, ill advised throws, but 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:35.360 he's been pretty consistently solid. I think Sam Donald or 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:39.280 he dies by the stork for a stinker, and for 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.440 some reason, I think it happens in this high pressure 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.840 playoff game, Mike McDonald's first game as a head coach 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:48.280 in the playoffs. I feel like Donald's gonna have a stinker. 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:50.360 And the Texans got their stinker right of the way. 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:54.040 So based on my roulette theory, it's not gonna happen again. 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:57.720 It's patterns, patterns. I think you need to work out 0:07:57.720 --> 0:07:58.160 this theory. 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:00.120 Yeah, I don't know if I agree with your here 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:00.560 are you here? 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.240 I'm trying to figure out how long Sam Donald hasn't 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:05.480 been great to end the season. 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:09.040 I just feel like something's bound to give. 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:10.880 I want you that what you're saying, I want you 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:14.480 to note this moment because Danny G isolate this last 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:18.440 thirty seconds and come Monday, I want everyone to be 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.280 like man Rich, You're in the money. 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:23.520 So what you're saying is bet on black. Bet on black, 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:23.840 all right? 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:26.320 Betting? Who are you, Rob Barker now betting? 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:29.440 I told you all season betting on black would mean 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.360 Houston doesn't have two stinkers in a row. They just 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:36.760 happened to escape against a team that was overmatched and 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:40.400 the Niners injured but inspired, playing with house money against 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.640 a team that is I feel like is due for 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:44.720 a little bit of a stink. 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:45.520 I agree with. 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.439 You on the Texans, and I think Danny G hit it. 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:51.280 It was close, but what we saw was the defense 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:54.440 breaking down that offensive line and breaking down that offense, 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:56.840 and at the end they had nothing left. It's like 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.520 a prize fight, right where the guys just work in 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:01.360 the body, work in the body, working the body, and 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:03.280 all of a sudden you see that that dude's gassed 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:05.680 by the eighth round because he's getting punched into ribs. 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.360 He's getting liver punched all night long. You know, by 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:10.320 the end of the game, by the fourth quarter, Steelers 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:13.200 had nothing and that was it. That's exactly what happened. 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.080 So that defense is vicious, bro, So I'm with you 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.680 on that all the way. The Texans are good even 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.000 at their worst, So congrats to them. 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.920 Don't think that Drake may can't pull the ball down 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.520 and run a little bit though, right because you saw 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.800 in the fourth quarter Aaron Rodgers had all that field 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:33.559 in front of him and he threw an incomplete pass. 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.720 He could have ran the ball twenty twenty two yards 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:37.320 but he didn't. 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:38.000 But he couldn't. 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.360 Yeah, thirty two year old Aaron Rodgers would have ran 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:41.559 that ball absolutely. 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:43.000 You know what I thought about that When I saw 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:45.160 Aaron Rodgers hugging some of these young dudes at the 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:49.199 end of the game, there's got to be like a 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:52.959 conscious and subconscious sentiment of like, yeah, like ten years ago, 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.200 you were the man, sir, like you know, like I 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:55.600 wish I. 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.320 Knew you and I was young, but everyone waited to 0:09:58.320 --> 0:09:59.319 say something to him. 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:01.800 When like the Texans were hugging him, they were probably 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.800 in their mind thinking, like, yo, man, like when I 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:06.800 was a kid, you were good, you know, like that 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.280 That was probably the sentiment because it's like they respect 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.400 him so much. But yeah, you could tell lesson him. 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:15.079 It wasn't he was on him though, it really wasn't. 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.319 I mean, they were letting him through. He only got 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.360 clobbered because well he couldn't really get out of that pocket, 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:23.120 but because they were gassed, the line was gassed and 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.600 they couldn't protect him anymore. And you're talking about stinkers, Rich, 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:31.600 that was the definition of a stinker, watching him get 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.679 sacked like that, watching him get hit like that, having 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:37.880 to get up like that, And I'm just wondering if 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:41.400 that might be the weakest eggit we've ever seen. And 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:43.240 I hate to dump on it and pour salt in 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.960 the wound because I really don't want to. No one 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.200 wants to see that. I was rooting for Aaron Rodgers. 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:52.440 Now I'm not hating. I'm just stating, but do you 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.320 come back if that's the lasting image or is that 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:56.760 just the end of it? 0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:57.200 Like? 0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:58.760 How do you go out like that? 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.839 I mean, if he were to ever listen to Cypress Hill, 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:03.440 you know you can't go. 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:04.320 Out like that. 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:08.360 We ain't going out go it, dude, I mean, but 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.600 then again, that's just the writing on the wall. What 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.880 could you do with sports Father Times Undefeated as they say, 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.400 and there's honor in the fight, and he fought with honor. 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:19.000 But you can't get shoved out of bounce like that. 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:22.920 That might be the biggest stinkeroo that ever. 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.440 Was rich And then Rudolph goes in and he's just 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:26.520 standing there on the side. 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:28.679 I don't want to remember him like that. Well, do 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:29.000 you know what? 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:32.400 Here's where we're the most interactive show on all networks 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.720 eight seven, seven nine nine on Fox. The YouTube chat 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:37.960 is going strong. Sometimes you just don't have that choice 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.240 of how you remember. And that's that's just life. What's 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:45.400 that is the weakest farewell that you could remember in sports? 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.480 I got these televisions any like visually, I don't think 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.800 you could top mind. I'm serious, the weakest farewells. Let's 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:53.280 take your feedback. And by the way, I'm high on 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:55.480 the Texans right now. So let me let you know 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:59.360 according to DraftKings and all our sites, right yeah, Seahawks 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:00.800 of the odds on face to win the Super Bowl 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:04.880 Super Bowl odds right now of the eight remaining teams, 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:09.679 number six Houston Texans at plus eight to fifty. I 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:13.880 feel like there's a value there only because I think 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:17.000 they have the goods like the Niners are the longest 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:18.160 long shot of the eight teams. 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:20.000 And I'm a realist as a Niners fan. Even if 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:20.920 they slip. 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:24.520 By their rival opponent, their division opponent this weekend and 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.280 then they got to play the Bears at the Seahawks, 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:29.040 then they would have to go play some stacked AFC team. 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.240 I'm a realist. It doesn't look good. 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:38.880 But the Texans at plus eight fifty, I'm I'm I'm 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:39.320 a fan. 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:42.120 I like that team. 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.960 They're fun and last night they played like asd and 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.040 still the one because their defense is so good it 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:47.720 should be interesting. 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:48.400 It was all I'm saying. 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:50.920 You don't think your boys, c J. Stroud can lift 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:51.760 up the Lombardi. 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:57.000 You know, Danny doesn't look dudes, anybody seasoned and as 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:58.640 a fight fan, does a look great at times. I 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:00.880 have an answer to your question as I look at 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:04.880 the matchups. That's why I love the NFL, and that's 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:08.040 why I feel almost fortunate to not have a team, 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:13.280 because I'm able to watch unbiased as a fan, just 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:18.920 for the matchups. Bill's Broncos, Niner, Seahawks, Texans, Pats, Rams, 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:23.559 Bears all great. That's better than Tiafimo Stevenson. That's better 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:28.000 than Ryan Garcia, Mario Marios. These are great matchups. That's 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.680 what excites me, the matchups. You could say that these 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.360 matchups next week, we're better than the ones we just watched. 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:35.840 I think we're in for some really great games next week. 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:38.079 We're gonna get you hyped about it. But you asked 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:40.640 about or you were talking about Stinkaroos and bad exits 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.480 and Aaron Rodgers and how hard that was to watch, right, Well, 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:45.480 what comes to mind, Well, what comes to mind as 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.200 a fight fan, and that's why I was talking about 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:51.680 the matchups is I'll never forget Bernard Hopkins. He was 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.480 sort of like an ageless wonder. Remember they called him 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:57.520 the alien because he was doing things that we've never 0:13:57.520 --> 0:13:59.679 seen before. He's like not of this earth, Like how 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:02.959 is he still fighting? Well, I remember Bernard Hopkins got 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.840 in the ring one too many times and he fought 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:06.959 this guy named Joe Smith. 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:09.240 And Joe Smith wasn't like a known dude. 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:13.720 And he's fighting Bernard Hopkins and you're like, man, Bernard 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.600 Hopkins crazy. He's got to win this because this might 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:19.120 be his last fight. I think he had lost the 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.280 previous fight. In fact, I'm pretty sure he lost to 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.000 who do you lose to one of those Russian dudes? 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:33.040 But anyway, if I think it was Drago, and I 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:35.800 remember this dude Joe Smith in like the eighth round 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:39.880 fighting a legend, Bernard Hopkins the executioner, now the alien. 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:44.920 He knocks him out the ring like the video game 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:49.320 Ring King. He goes flying through the ropes on to 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:52.960 the floor, and that was the end and lasting image 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:56.040 of Bernard Hopkins in the ring. He's a great promoter, 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.960 he's a great, great face for boxing. I love him, 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:02.160 but the last memory of him in the ring is 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:06.360 getting knocked out of the ring by like a right hook. 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.520 How embarrassing is I mean, he came back the ring 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:12.680 like a WWE moment. He came back for some exhibition fights. 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:15.840 But I always hated when Mike Tyson fought some nobody 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:17.720 and at the end of the fight don't. 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:18.400 Have the fighting guy thing. 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:20.400 Yeah, he gave up and he said that phrase, I 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:22.360 just don't have the fighting guts, have the fighting guard. 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:24.360 And he said he does it for the money because 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:27.320 he needs to support his kids. And I remember feeling like, 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:30.360 oh man, the most vicious dude of our life Mike Tyson. 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:32.680 But dude, you remember the video game ring King, or were 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.400 you like a punch out guy if you got hit 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:37.600 with an uppercut in the video game ranking you went 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:42.240 flying after and you flew He flew out the ring. 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.160 That was his last moment. That's what I'm saying. Like, 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.560 the first time I ever heard this, hold on again, 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:56.160 it was a three pointer in Double Dribble. No, that's 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:59.360 you getting excited for the games next week when I 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:00.680 see Fred Water practicing. 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:02.920 Yeah, that was actually more about. 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:07.920 Pause. 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:10.400 Yeah, you know, the first time I heard this, it 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:11.200 was a morbid thought. 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:15.160 I remember when my grandpa died, my pop Pop good Man, right, 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:16.880 grandpay passed away. 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:19.960 They didn't want me to go to the funeral. 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:21.960 I was a teenager, but they're like, nah, no, we 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:23.960 don't want you to see your grandfather like that. 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:25.280 Remember him how he was. 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:28.040 And that was like the first time I had that thought, Like, yeah, like, 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:30.440 you want to remember someone at their best, you know, 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:33.200 not not at their worst, especially as a young kid 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:33.440 like that. 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:37.800 Right, you want to remember Aaron Rogers. 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:40.240 One of the goats, the greats of all time, being 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:44.760 clobbered in the head like that, throwing desperate passes getting 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:47.880 picked off, losing like that in the fourth quarter in 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:50.920 a big playoff game. Dude, that was straight up embarrassing. 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:52.840 And like I said, there's nothing you could do about it. 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:56.960 And I'm not trying to to like add to it, right, 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:01.200 but it was what it was. So the question is, well, 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:03.960 there's a two part question. Does he come back? I 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:08.240 say absolutely not, absolutely not, And unfortunately that's it. So yeah, 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:10.600 but was that the weakest exit? Well, did you remember 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:13.040 before Tom Brady came back and won a Super Bowl 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:14.800 and then had a great even his last game when 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:17.680 the Bucks got eliminated, he had a great playoff game. 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:20.240 But you remember when we thought he might retire after 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:23.520 the Patriots a pick six in the postseason to lose 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:27.200 a game. Was how he couldn't stomach it. That's why 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:29.120 part of the reason he said he came back at 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:29.520 that time. 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.000 Right, this is the opposite of John Lway. 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:34.600 Like you could say John Elway had the greatest exit, right, 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:37.040 Aaron Rodgers for his career. First of all, you have 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:40.359 to have a legendary career to even be in this conversation. 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:42.720 So props, again, I'm not trying to be mean, None 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:44.000 of us are trying to be mean about it. We 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:47.280 all watched this last night, rooting for the dude. When 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:51.000 you have a legendary career that he had twenty something 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:53.680
