Speaker 2: from an NFL insider to get everybody all hot and

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 2: bothered about the state of college football and the University

Speaker 2: of Texas. Welcome into Fox Sports Radio. Jason Fence is

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,400

Speaker 2: for him. Ian is also out today, so Lee to

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,240

Speaker 3: Mary.

12
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 4: I don't know why.

13
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: Everybody else decided to just flake on the show today,

14
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 2: but we're grateful that we have good teammates to step

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 2: in in the meantime.

16
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 4: Bridget, how we living on a Saturday?

17
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 5: How are you doing?

18
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 6: It has been like two years since I've heard your

19
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 6: voice in my ears. I mean, obviously I listened to

20
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 6: your show all the time, but I mean like this

21
00:00:58,720 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 6: close and personal.

22
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: Sorry, it's a lot more when you got to deal

23
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 2: with it directly.

24
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 4: I get that feedback a lot.

25
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 6: I'm just wondering how I can get the accent you

26
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 6: have because it's so subtly Southern that I just it.

27
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 6: It's like you should be a star of a movie

28
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 6: or something with like a.

29
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 5: Hey, how we all doing out here?

30
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 6: You're like rolling up to a gas station with I

31
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 6: don't know cigarette in your hand.

32
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, plenty of that last night before I hit

33
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 2: the road to Indianapolis today to cover the mighty Tennessee

34
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: Titans at one and six against the Indianapolis CULTU.

35
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's gonna be.

36
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 6: Uh.

37
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: You know, I'm used to bad football at this point.

38
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: I've soldiered through a couple of these seasons. The franchise

39
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: that I cover is a hot mess on a regular basis,

40
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 2: So you know, you try to you try to make

41
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: good out of the just unending bad. Yeah, it's it's

42
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: the life of a beat reporter. It's it's gonna be okay.

43
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 6: I mean Cam has to be making it fun though,

44
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 6: especially with some of his responses.

45
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's He's an interesting cat, for sure, but I

46
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 2: would love it if he was better actual football. It's

47
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: fun to have the you know, the little moments of levity,

48
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: whether it's the we asked quote after a twenty six

49
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 2: to nothing shut out against the Houston Texans, or whether

50
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: he's grilling us on what it is to call a

51
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: play as an NFL quarterback like he was Wednesday at

52
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: the podium, which was oddly received as polarizing, at least

53
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: based on some of the Internet.

54
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 4: Twitter is just the most miserable places. I'm sure you know.

55
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 6: I've started getting off of it. Threads is where it's at.

56
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 6: It's a little bit more positive for me.

57
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 2: Is your at on Threads the same as you're ad

58
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: on Twitter?

59
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 6: It's actually the same as Instagram, because you know, Threads

60
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 6: and Instagram are one and the same, They're tied together.

61
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 4: So what is that handle for people to.

62
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 5: Fall along with all your I didn't even know who

63
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 5: you were going there?

64
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, always plug in. It's just at Bridget Condon. Actually

65
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 6: I think it's at Bridget conton TV. Gosh, I don't

66
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 6: even know how can I even plug myself when I

00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 6: don't even know can confirm?

00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 2: froggy and you want some one and six Titans coverage,

73
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: I'm here for you.

74
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 6: I don't know that anyone could have anticipated us starting

75
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 6: the show, especially like I'm sitting here in la and

76
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 6: everything that happened in the past twenty four hours. But

77
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 6: here we are spending the first five minutes of this

78
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 6: show talking Titans.

79
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 2: I'm happy to move on if you are, because there's

80
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: much more interesting things happening in the world of sports,

81
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: not the least of which was the way that Diana Russini,

82
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: NFL insider for The Athletic, got everybody's morning started. Bridget

83
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: There was a she does a newsletter for The Athletic.

84
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 2: Diana is an excellent reporter and very thorough in all

85
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: the details that she includes in her newsletter, her weekly

86
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: newsletter around the league, and I was peeling through it

87
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: this morning and there's just one little subtle line about

88
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: Texas coach Steve sar Kejan that reads, I'm told that

89
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: representatives for Texas coach Steve Sarkishan have let NFL decision

90
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: makers know that he would be interested in potential head

91
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: coaching openings COMMA, including the Titans. Now, this was something

92
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 2: that started a lot of fuss. It doesn't help that

93
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 2: Texas is currently trailing by ten just before the first

94
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 2: half ends at Mississippi State twenty four to fourteen right

95
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: now for the number twenty two team in the country,

96
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 2: trying to go on the road, trying to stack wins

97
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 2: in the sec I'm incapable of doing so, and arch

98
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 2: manning with a hail Mary attempt that falls incomplete with

99
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: eight seconds left on the clock.

100
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 4: If you're watching along with us live.

101
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: Sark is an interesting figure in terms of coaching conversations.

102
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 2: But what compounds this is bridget I'm sure you saw

103
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: the statement on behalf of Jimmy Sexton Power Agent and

104
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: caa creative art artists agency that reps so many of

105
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 2: these people. What do you make of the initial information

106
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: that was put out there by Diana and Jimmy Sexton

107
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: publicly refuting that information with a very quick to be

108
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 2: put out statement.

109
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 6: Well, look, Diana Russini, well respected reporter, always has great scoop.

110
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 6: She's not putting this out And for people listening who

111
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 6: maybe don't know the process of putting information like this

112
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 6: out when you're sourced, she didn't just hear this from

113
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 6: one person and is putting out an entire newsletter that

114
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 6: goes out to hundreds, thousands, maybe of reporters and fans.

115
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 6: She has multiple sources telling her this, right, Like, this

116
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 6: isn't something that she's just created in her basement and

117
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 6: wrote a fantasy article about. She's getting this information from someone.

118
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 6: So where there is smoke, there is fire. Jimmy, on

119
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 6: the other hand, an incredible agent. Look, he has kind

120
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 6: of like a.

121
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 5: Pattern of doing this.

122
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 6: You know, we remember Alabama Nick Saban, all of that drama.

123
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 5: He is a great agent.

124
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 6: By saying no, like, you know, coach Sark is focused

125
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 6: solely on Texas and finishing this season the right way.

126
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 5: What a great, great statement.

127
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 6: You have agents, right, you pay your agent ten to

128
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 6: twenty percent to do things like this.

129
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 5: It would be in it.

130
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 6: It would be so incorrect for him to come out

131
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 6: and say, like, yeah, you know, Sark really wants to

132
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 6: go to the NFL while he is in the middle

133
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 6: of a season and trying to get his team to

134
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 6: the college football playoff. There is no reason that he

135
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 6: needs to go out and talk about the NFL right now.

136
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 6: His focus should be on Texas, what's happening behind the scenes.

137
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 6: I totally believe what Diana is is putting out there

138
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 6: to a degree, wouldn't you.

139
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 5: I don't know what you think. If it's just smoke

140
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 5: or what.

141
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: Oh no, absolutely, I know Diana very well for a

142
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 2: long time. I texted or just to make sure that

143
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 2: I had full context about this before we came on

144
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: the air.

145
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 4: And obviously we can't share all of the information that we're.

146
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: Talking about, but there is a give and take in

147
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: the information exchange business. Bridget, I'm sure I don't have

148
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: to tell you, But for the audience and how these

149
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: things get created, it's just the optics of it right now,

150
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 2: given Texas's struggles, given all of the hype around them.

151
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: I mean, for anybody who's paid attention to any shred

152
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 2: of college football discourse this year, you know that Texas

153
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 2: was one of the most hyped programs coming into the season,

154
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: the number one team in the country coming into the season.

155
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: That Arch Manning, just because of the name on his back,

156
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: respectfully to the player that he may at some point

157
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: in his collegiate career, become a lot of discourse, a

158
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 2: lot of excitement around another quarterback name Manning playing at

159
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,679
Speaker 2: a premier college football institution. But things have gone poorly.

160
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: They have not lived up to that by any stretch

161
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: of the imagination. And for the coaching carousel being as

162
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 2: crazy as it is. Atton Bridget, I know you don't

163
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: follow this or the college football.

164
00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 4: Cycle quite as closely.

165
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 2: I'm sure you've seen all the high profile firings to date,

166
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: whether it be Florida or Penn State or any of

167
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: these other programs that have already moved on from their coaches.

168
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 2: It's crazy because in the SEC, not a single coach

169
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: was fired last year.

170
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 4: That's only happened a handful of times, which of.

171
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 2: Course means that half the league, half the jobs are

172
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 2: going to be up for grabs at this point in time.

173
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 2: And so when you hear the name Steve Sarkejian and

174
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: any mention of the NFL whatsoever, not just the team

175
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: that I cover in Tennessee, but any of those jobs

176
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: that might be available, and we do expect a few

177
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: more to become available, whether that's in season like the Titans,

178
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: or at the end of the season. At that point,

179
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 2: it's a tough look for Sarcus. His team again on

180
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 2: the road against Mississippi State, who's not a bad SEC program,

181
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: but trailing by ten at this point in time, it's

182
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: just going to create a bit of a Median nightmare

183
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: for him.

184
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 6: Absolutely, But this is why they pay them so much

185
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 6: money right to be able to go into a press

186
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 6: conference room and get grilled with questions like this after

187
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 6: a tough loss.

188
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 5: But going back to the reason.

189
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 6: Why this was put out and again like Diana getting

190
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 6: this information and believing strongly in it, I don't think

191
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 6: it's a bad thing. Like I would love to see

192
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 6: Steve Starkushan in the NFL, and I think he's smart

193
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 6: to put his name in those conversations because you know,

194
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 6: and I know, like this is the time. We're what

195
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 6: week eight now in the NFL. This is a time

196
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 6: where teams start putting their coaches on the hot seat,

197
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 6: and we potentially are going to see some coaches fired

198
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 6: in the next eight games here.

199
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 5: And if you are still.

200
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 6: In the college world and people don't know that like

201
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 6: you're ready to make that jump to the NFL or

202
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 6: like come into professional league, maybe he gets passed over

203
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 6: because I know that, like a lot of these coaches

204
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 6: in the NFL, you're not going to get hired until January,

205
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 6: but you need to like start that process way earlier

206
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 6: than that. So, like, I think it's a smart thing,

207
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 6: regardless of what kind of questions he gets thrown after

208
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 6: this game, Like for him long term.

209
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 5: Throw your name in those conversations.

210
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 2: For sure, nobody better at it than John Gruden. Still

211
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 2: at this point in his career, is getting mentioned in

212
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 2: coaching searches and things like that. It's good for business.

213
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: It's good for the individual business of the coach. Certainly,

214
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 2: it's good for the business of the agent. What's good

215
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 2: for you is the iHeartRadio App. With the iHeartRadio App,

223
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 2: the top of your screen. She's Bridget Condon. I'm Buck Rising,

224
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: hanging out here with you. A lot of interesting games

225
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 2: across the world of college football. But Bridget, this is

226
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 2: my favorite time of year, in the middle of football season.

227
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 2: And you know, it's unfortunate that the team that I

228
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 2: cover is to damn bad, because I would love to

229
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: be talking about meaningful football. But the part of this

230
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 2: where teams start to define themselves, where they start to

231
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 2: separate themselves, where the inconsistencies of the start of the

232
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 2: seasons kind of fade away or get pared down a

233
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 2: little bit because teams establish an identity start to play

234
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 2: up to that standard or fall short of it. In

235
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 2: the NFL and college football, as we start to get

236
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 2: closer to playoff pictures being formed in both sports, this

237
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 2: is my absolute favorite time of year, right before we

238
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 2: get to the month of November.

239
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 6: I mean looking around having college football, NFL World Series, NBA, NHL.

240
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 6: This has to be as a sports fan, the best

241
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 6: time of year because no matter what day it is,

242
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 6: no matter what time it is, there's something to watch,

243
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 6: right Like remember those dog days of summers. I did

244
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 6: some of these radio shows this summer and we were like,

245
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 6: what are we going to talk about today? Like the

246
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 6: NBA playoffs already finished, NHL's done, college football hasn't really started,

247
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 6: and then NFL training camp the weeks before NFL training camp,

248
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 6: where we're talking about the same stories like is Aaron

249
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 6: Rodgers gonna make a run for the Super Bowl?

250
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 5: In is this the year in Pittsburgh?

251
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 6: Is you know the same stories that we've been talking

252
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 6: about for six months now.

253
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 5: It's like we have too many stories to talk about.

254
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 4: Nothing wrong with, too much of a good thing.

255
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 2: I can relate to that doing three hours of local

256
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: sports talk of day, just talking about really two teams

257
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 2: at any given point, so that is absolutely relatable. We

258
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 2: will you mentioned you're in Los Angeles. We will talk

259
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 2: at some point about the Dodgers and the Blue JAYSUS

260
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: statement game by Toronto in Game one of the World Series.

261
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 2: What is the temperature in Los Angeles today after an

262
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: eleven to four defeat at the hands of the Blue Jays.

263
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 4: Who are I mean, certainly you can't.

264
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 2: I don't think there's gonna be the lovable underdog vibes

265
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 2: around them because you can't. You can't, even if you

266
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 2: are somebody who hates the Dodgers, as many many baseball

267
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 2: fans in America do, you cannot root for a baseball

268
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 2: team from another country. I feel like it's a very

269
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 2: tough place for baseball fans who do not have a

270
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 2: vested interest in the series to kind of exist.

271
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 6: I have so many thoughts on this, and I'll save

272
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 6: it for when we do the deep dive. But what

273
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 6: a weird time because you look at the Dodgers, who

274
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 6: just won the World Series last year, right, it doesn't

275
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 6: feel like that because of the brutal loss that they

276
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 6: took last night.

277
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 5: This team, if they win the World Series, this team's

278
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 5: a dynasty.

279
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 6: I mean they might already be one, right like, depending

280
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 6: on who you talk to and what you want to argue.

281
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 6: But they just lost and now it feels like they're

282
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 6: the worst team in baseball. That is the vibe walking

283
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 6: around LA. People don't even want to talk about last night.

284
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 5: Let's just get let's.

285
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 6: Go first pitch like, roll that right now because people

286
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 6: just want to focus on moving forward after what happened.

287
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 5: Nine runs in the sixth inning. Crazy.

288
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 2: I'm sure if you're a Ravens fan, you want to

289
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 2: just move on and move forward at this point in time,

290
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 2: because they have again ruled Lamar Jackson out and they

291
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 2: might be in a little bit of hot water for

292
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 2: the way that they handled an injury situation around the

293
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 2: former MVP. We'll get into that coming up next. It's

Speaker 2: sitting at the bottom of their division with less wins

310
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: than the Las Vegas Raiders and the Cleveland Browns as

311
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 2: we head into week eight, I would have called you

312
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,920

314
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 2: I'm buck rising. Lamar Jackson has been ruled out again, Bridget.

315
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 2: This has gotten to be such a gut punch to

316
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 2: Ravens fans. I know because my ep on the local

317
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: show is a diehard Ravens fan and he has been

318
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 2: excited about Lamar Jackson's progress back from injury all week long,

319
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: and then today the Baltimore Ravens put out a statement

320
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 2: before they get ready to take on the Chicago Bears

321
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 2: that Lamar Jackson would in fact miss his third straight

322
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 2: game and more than a month of regular season time

323
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: after going down on September the twenty eighth against Kansas City.

324
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: He's been ruled out for this game as of this morning,

325
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 2: the Ravens had to put out a statement on the subject.

326
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 2: This is from the Baltimore Ravens at Ravens's where you

327
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 2: can follow along on the socials. Lamar Jackson was present

328
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 2: for and participated fully in our entire Friday practice ahead

329
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 2: of Sunday's game against the Bears. Upon further evaluation today

330
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 2: and after conferring with the league office, because Lamar didn't

331
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 2: take starter reps in practice, we have updated our report

332
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 2: to reflect his practice participation. Apparently Bridget he was running

333
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 2: the scout team and the Ravens listed him as full

334
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 2: some injury report crafting of lies, and now the Ravens

335
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: are getting investigated by the NFL.

336
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 6: Well, it's like Aaron Glenn this week. Did you see

337
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 6: that he didn't want to put out who their starter

338
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 6: was going to be because he didn't want to give

339
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 6: the Bengals any kind of like advantage.

340
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 5: So this is just weird.

341
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 6: John Harbas said that they expected Lamar Jackson to be

342
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 6: back after theirbye. They had their bye last week. There

343
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 6: are so many things that we could get into here.

344
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 6: I was at the Ravens training camp Saturday, back together Saturday,

345
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 6: me and Baldy watching practice and you know, watching Derrick

346
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 6: Henry watching Lamar Jackson, and we both were talking like

347
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 6: this is their year. I mean, after Mark Andrews drops

348
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 6: that pass last year in the playoffs, I knew this

349
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 6: was their year. You don't make a mistake like that

350
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 6: and come back and flop, right. You make a mistake

351
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 6: like that and that drives you. That is the story,

352
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 6: that is the script. Ravens bounce back after brutal lost

353
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 6: the year before, and they win the Super Bowl. Lamar

354
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 6: Jackson finally gets the su to the Super Bowl, finally

355
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 6: wins a trophy.

356
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 5: I am just very.

357
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 6: Confused when you look at the Carolina Panthers. I don't

358
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 6: know why you didn't include that when you said the

359
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 6: Browns and the Raiders with more wins the Carolina Panthers have. Okay,

360
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 6: so fair like the Panthers.

361
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 2: Like it's crazy since that damn Panthers podcast called it

362
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 2: quits that because the team was so bad and they

363
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 2: were tired of covering them.

364
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 4: The team is then bego.

365
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 5: Blake, I keep thinking about that podcast.

366
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 6: I'm so glad that you brought it up, because do

367
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 6: they come back?

368
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: They have to.

369
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 5: I don't know, we're gonna.

370
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 2: Know if you're the fan base said no, you shut

371
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 2: it down, boys, this is your retirement moment.

372
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 4: They have not lost a game since.

373
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 6: You stop talking. Okay, the Ravens are one in five. Look,

374
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 6: I know we haven't worked together much, Buck, but I

375
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 6: want to let you know that I'm a big numbers girl,

376
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 6: right like I love little stats.

377
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 5: So they're one in five.

378
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 6: Okay, that's their worst six game start in franchise history,

379
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 6: tied for it. Only one team since the merger happened

380
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 6: has made the playoffs after a one and six start. Okay,

381
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 6: they're not making the playoffs. I mean, I know if

382
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 6: if there's any division that they could somehow still slide in.

383
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 6: The AFC North is very weird this season, right, like

384
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 6: the very weird. But I still think the Ravens are

385
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 6: not making like they just have to shut it down.

386
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 6: And I think maybe they are looking at this like, Okay,

387
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 6: why are we going to rush Lamar Jackson back out

388
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 6: there against the Bears team that maybe they feel they

389
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 6: could win without him, Or why are we going to

390
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 6: rush him back out there when we're already one in five,

391
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 6: We're not going to make the playoffs. We could use

392
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 6: some help in the draft. Let's not risk it, Let's

393
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 6: start thinking about next year.

394
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 2: It's an interesting concept, right because the trade deadline is

395
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 2: coming up November fourth, if I'm not mistaken, is the

396
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 2: NFL trade deadline, and that is going to be a

397
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 2: popular topic of conversation. And the state that I live

398
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 2: in and the NFL team that I cover, the Tennessee Titans,

399
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: a lot of teams looking around at current roster assets

400
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 2: and saying, is it really worth it to try and

401
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 2: gut it out the rest of the year. Should we

402
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: start to sell off guys on expiring contracts that other

403
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 2: teams pushing for contention might get after. But to your

404
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 2: point about the Ravens, and we started off the show

405
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 2: with Steve Starkesian and the hype around Texas and how

406
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 2: far short they have fallen from expectations. The Ravens I

407
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 2: think were the most popular Super Bowl pick this year.

408
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 2: I know, really, I'd pick them to win the Super Bowl,

409
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 2: and I'd be for all of the reasons that you

410
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 2: just laid out. But now at this point in time

411
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 2: where you're talking about the things that are wrong with

412
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 2: them and they're starting to get some of their injured

413
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 2: players back, there was a period of time where they

414
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 2: had like one hundred and sixty million dollars worth of

415
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 2: salary cap sitting on there inactive report on a regular

416
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 2: basis because of how down bad they were at the

417
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 2: very start of the year. The thing, though, that Baltimore

418
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 2: almost every season bridge that has been able to lean

419
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 2: on is their defense, and this Ravens defense is atrocious

420
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 2: by any stretch of the imagination. Like it's it's almost

421
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 2: unthinkable to see those jerseys, see the amount of mistackles

422
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 2: that they give up, see the kind of discombobulation going

423
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 2: on where there's miscommunications, there's miss assignments. It's leading to

424
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 2: explosive plays all over the place. All of a sudden,

425
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 2: The Texans who have a horrendous offense or run up

426
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,479
Speaker 2: the score on you in Baltimore in a game that

427
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 2: was as lopsided as any home loss has ever been

428
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 2: for that franchise. They're setting records in all the wrong

429
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 2: ways this year, so I absolutely agree with you that

430
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: they have to think about starting to move in that direction,

431
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 2: starting the fire sale. But the curious question is where

432
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 2: exactly do they start. This roster has a couple of

433
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 2: contracts that would be acquirable if you were another team

434
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 2: looking for a replacement level starting talent or at least

435
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 2: some kind of depth. But I don't know when you

436
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 2: start to get to the players who are actually available

437
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 2: and would be available to be traded on the Ravens roster,

438
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 2: that many teams would be interested in picking up some

439
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 2: of what they've got.

440
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 6: It's interesting, right, and I think the person who's laughing

441
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 6: is Mike McDonald in Seattle, right, like, how about them?

442
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 6: And you know, since he's left, this defense hasn't really

443
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 6: looked the same. But I think if you look at Okay,

444
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 6: who could they potentially trade? I think Mark Andrews' names

445
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 6: has to be one of the ones top of conversation.

446
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 6: It's tough because you know he what he's done, and

447
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 6: obviously it's still a sore subject the drop that essentially

448
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 6: maybe that could have been, I don't know, could have

449
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 6: been the thing that completely.

450
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 5: Changed this team.

451
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 6: But I my question to you then is who would

452
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 6: be interested in Mark Andrews at you know, how old

453
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 6: is he?

454
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 4: Now?

455
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 5: I feel like he's old, but he's probably still young.

456
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 4: Thirty years Yeah, I don't think he's as old as

457
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 4: he's seen.

458
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel but he's thirty, he's younger. Okay.

459
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 4: It's always humbling, isn't it.

460
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,719
Speaker 5: I'm like, wait, no, you're you're old man.

461
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you spent enough time covering the NFL once you

462
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 2: start the age out of the athlete age, like it

463
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 2: was like DeAndre Hopkins on the Titans a couple of

464
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 2: years ago, bridget I was stunned to find out that

465
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 2: the hop is not ten years older than me and

466
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 2: that we're actually the same. Am, Like, I've been watching

467
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 2: you my entire life. How are you only thirty two

468
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 2: years old? Well, anyway we can.

469
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 6: I'm I'm just thinking here, like who are the teams?

470
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 6: Because here's the thing you got to think about, who

471
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 6: are the teams that are Super Bowl contenders?

472
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 5: Right?

473
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 6: Like at the trade deadline, who would trade for somebody

474
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:19,719
Speaker 6: to help them win. Now and those teams, Eagles, Chiefs,

475
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 6: I want to put Rams in that conversation.

476
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 5: I just watched them in London and man did they

477
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 5: look good.

478
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 6: I think they I think Mark Andrews would fit well

479
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 6: with what the Rams are doing. And you know that

480
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 6: they would probably go after I mean, they're not always

481
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 6: they're not shy to add at the deadline.

482
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 5: That could be a situation. I could see that.

483
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 4: Famously.

484
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 2: I bleep those picks, bleep them picks franchise, so they

485
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 2: could absolutely go into acquisition mode. We can circle back

486
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 2: around to that topic to talk about the trade deadline

487
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 2: within the context of contenders. But first, Martin, get us

Speaker 2: I have to listen to comment like sleep stories and

569
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 2: stuff like that, because I'm reading too much Twitter on

570
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 2: a regular I.

571
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,800

Speaker 5: job there.

578
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 2: Yes, I think I feel like we're onto something. We

579
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 2: will of course take royalties on that, since we discovered

580
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 2: this on air together, but you know, a conversation for

581
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 2: another day.

582
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 4: I am so opinions.

583
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 2: This is, of course the time of year where information

584
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 2: is flying fast and furiously. We brought up Mark Andrews

585
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 2: as an acquireable asset for the Ravens if they should

586
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 2: lose to the Chicago Bears.

587
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 4: By the way, if the Bears are.

588
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 2: To beat the Ravens, bridget, that's five straight wins for

589
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 2: the Chicago football franchise, a sentence I never thought I

590
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 2: would utter into a microphone as long as my lungs

591
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 2: were still taking in air.

592
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 6: I mean, Ben Johnson, maybe not a great interviewer, but

593
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 6: a great coach.

594
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 5: I don't know if you got.

595
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 4: That, but oh no, I sure did. I saw a

596
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 4: dity on the sidelines in Arizona a couple.

597
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 5: Of weeks shout out to a d because man.

598
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 4: He's a stud for that.

599
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 5: She sure is.

600
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 2: I'm certain we've all and well at least those of

601
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 2: us who cover coaches for a living. I'm sure we've

602
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 2: all been in a similar situation. That was a very

603
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 2: public situation, and she handled it quite well. But for

604
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 2: for the conversation about trade deadline and again November fourth,

605
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 2: the NFL trade deadline. So there's a couple of different

606
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 2: names that you're going to hear. What's the most interesting

607
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 2: name you've heard mentioned around trade rumors? Because obviously you're

608
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 2: reporting on the league, you're covering on the covering the

609
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 2: league on a regular basis for NFL Network. Is there

610
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 2: one name that you've heard that immediately caught your attention?

611
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 4: It's like, hmm, that's interesting.

612
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 6: No, and you're gonna put me on the spot, and

613
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 6: I'm like, I just feel like everything that I hear,

614
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 6: I hear so much because I'm in the newsroom that

615
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 6: nothing is weird to me. I'm just like, oh, yeah,

616
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 6: that could uh, that could that could potentially happen? What like,

617
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 6: I feel like I want to ask you about the Titans.

618
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 6: That's where my mind was going. Can they get rid

619
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 6: of anybody?

620
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 2: Oh, that's such a great question, because the most acquirable

621
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 2: asset on the football team would be Jeffrey Simmons. And

622
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 2: if that's not a household name to the rest of America.

623
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 2: He prior to getting a hamstring injury in the first

624
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 2: half of their loss to the New England Patriots last week,

625
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 2: the Mi Rabel revenge game, which was about as much

626
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 2: intrigue as the Tennessee Titans have had this year, or

627
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 2: their former coach coming back to beat their asset Nissan Stadium,

628
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 2: jeff Simmons got a hamstring injury. He's been playing like

629
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 2: the best defensive tackle in football for the first seven

630
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 2: weeks of the season. It's a real shame to see

631
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 2: that happen. He's not on injured reserve. He's not going

632
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 2: to play in this upcoming game up here in Indianapolis

633
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 2: where I'm broadcasting today, because I will be covering that

634
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 2: game tomorrow. So if it's not Jeff Simmons, who everybody

635
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 2: in the league would want, and I know Minnesota called

636
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 2: about specifically last year, Titans have basically said no to

637
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 2: Jeff Simmons, no to cam Ward. Everybody else is on offer.

638
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 2: There's going to be a couple of names that are

639
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 2: floated out there. I think that they would love a

640
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 2: situation where they could get out from under Calvin Ridley.

641
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,719
Speaker 2: I think if Lagerius Snead was not already on IR,

642
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 2: because he just went on the injured reserve on Thursday

643
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 2: sustaining another quad injury, and that is just an tire

644
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 2: web of nightmare for Titans fans to see. The way

645
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 2: that they acquired him from the Kansas City Chiefs as

646
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 2: a two time Super Bowl champion. He played in seven

647
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,239
Speaker 2: games this year. He played in five games last year.

648
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,479
Speaker 2: He has spent the remainder of that time on the

649
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 2: injury report. So Calvin Ridley's going to be the name,

650
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 2: but again, he's also dealing with a hamstring injury. It

651
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 2: feels like a lot of soft tissue, a lot of

652
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 2: hamstring injuries to at least name brand players this year.

653
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, that's why the conversation about turf first

654
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 6: grass continues to get discussed. I know the owners had

655
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 6: their NFL fall meetings in New York City and that

656
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 6: was a topic of conversation and it'll continue to be

657
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 6: one as we deal with so many of these injuries.

658
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 6: But you know, I think, going back to you asking

659
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 6: me like crazy names, I think the reason why we

660
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 6: haven't heard anything out of the ordinary is because we

661
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 6: had that huge Micah Parson trade earlier in the year,

662
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 6: Like that was insane. But then you look at some

663
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 6: of these names that are circulating, Like I know a

664
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 6: lot of people say Trey Hendrickson the edge for the Bengals.

665
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 5: That one isn't interesting.

666
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 6: Like when you ask me crazy, I'm thinking, like, uh,

667
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 6: I don't know. Like at cam War, it's something that

668
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 6: absolutely won't happen, a quarterback trade.

669
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 5: None of those are happening. But Trey Hendrickson is.

670
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 6: Kind of crazy because all the drama from this summer,

671
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 6: right and like him holding out and them not getting

672
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 6: a you know, deal done early so that he could

673
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 6: be at training camp. The Bengals constantly saying that they're

674
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 6: not gonna trade him.

675
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 5: I feel like, though.

676
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 6: There's like the Bengals are a big question mark to

677
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 6: me too, with what's going on in some of the

678
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 6: decisions that they make, and they're.

679
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 2: We're surgent with Joe Flacco. Come on, he's eating by

680
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 2: himself at restaurants.

681
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 4: He's throwing a jam.

682
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 6: Time Joe Flacco, Like, we should study how he has

683
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 6: just hung on to a job for so long and

684
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 6: many people would never have been able to do that.

685
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 5: And I don't think it's necessarily his talent.

686
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 6: I think there's something to it, like how he has

687
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 6: just been able to find him his way in these situations.

688
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 6: But anyways, I don't think the Bengals would do something

689
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 6: like that. That would be crazy to me. If Trey

690
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 6: Hendrickson is a name we hear in the next week

691
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 6: or so and then I don't know, I don't see

692
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 6: them doing it. But nothing would surprise me, I guess,

693
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 6: is what I'm trying to say.

694
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 4: It's a bad question to ask a reporter who spends

695
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 4: so much time.

696
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 5: In a new No, it's a good question because he

697
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 5: made me think.

698
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 6: I just like, didn't you know, brain wasn't fast enough

699
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 6: to come up with a good answer, because nothing seems

700
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 6: crazy like I don't know.

701
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 5: If Russell Wilson gets traded, is that crazy? But like,

702
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 5: who wants Russell Wilson?

703
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 2: It would be that's more comedic really, with all due

704
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 2: respect to Russ, he's too busy throwing barbs at his

705
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 2: former coach.

706
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 4: Oh God, on media, the drama, the.

707
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 2: TMZ, that's what you're missing out on on Twitter, dumb

708
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 2: bleep like that.

709
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 5: In order to threads. Everybody, it's more fun over there.

710
00:33:59,200 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 5: Are you honest?

711
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 4: I am? I am?

712
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 2: I'm trying to balance, like how many more places I

713
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 2: want to post on social media? And I just for

714
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 2: my own peace of mind, I, honest to god, thought

715
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 2: about going through my entire game day routine tomorrow on

716
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 2: threads instead of Twitter. I was actually contemplating that on

717
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 2: the drive up here.

718
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 6: Well, can I be your reason as to why you

719
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 6: should do it? And now I'm giving you the push

720
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 6: to do it.

721
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 2: Well, listen, if you end up on the commat because

722
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 2: of our conversation and I end up on thrids because

723
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 2: of you, I think fair trade.

724
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 6: Yes, Oh, you're falling into a deep sleep where your

725
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,720
Speaker 6: tweet is the only one on your timeline.

726
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 5: You don't have to look.

727
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,439
Speaker 6: At political ads. You don't have to worry about your

728
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 6: favorite player getting traded on the trade deadline. The only

729
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 6: thing you're listening to is your tweet going viral for

730
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 6: all the right reasons. Positivity, inspiration with KLM.

731
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 5: I mean, seriously, con that was sick off the cuff.

732
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 4: The Blue Jays put the Dodgers to sleep last night.

733
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 2: We'll talk about Game one of the World Series on

734
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Saturday coming up next.

735
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio day and night.

736
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,720
Speaker 5: You should see the dance party buck Fox Sports Radio.

737
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 2: I'm jealous. I'm not in a dance party in LA.

738
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 2: I'm hanging out in Indianapolis, Indiana. But I'm in a

739
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 2: better spot than the Los Angeles Dodgers are today. That's

740
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 2: for damn sure. She's bridge at Condon. We got Mary

741
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 2: Mack holding it down back there as well. I'm Buck

742
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 2: rising on this Fox Sports Saturday.

743
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 4: Eleven to four.

744
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 2: Not a lot of dancing going on in Los Angeles

745
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 2: last night. Well there was on behalf of the Blue

746
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 2: Jays and that just unbelievable inning that put them over

747
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 2: the top, thumping LA after I mean, Bridget you tell me,

748
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 2: maybe maybe you're the wrong person ask because you're in

749
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, you're in the middle of it. But to

750
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 2: the rest of the baseball consuming world, it feels like

751
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 2: it's been a seven month conversation about the Dodgers, about

752
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 2: the spending, about Otani, about all the different things, about

753
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 2: the expectations, and they've lived up to it, at least

754
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 2: to get back to the World Series. But I am

755
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 2: fascinated what the dialogue is in Los Angeles today, and

756
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 2: we're going to get into that here in just a second.

757
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 2: But I'm going to remind you that during the MLB

758
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 2: postseason you've seen Strauss make history as the first brand

759
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 2: ever on the helmets workwere built to perform smart pocket design,

760
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 2: real comfort and durability, from grit to Glorygear up today

761
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 2: at Strauss dot com. That's Struss dot Com. You mentioned

762
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 2: the vibes in LA after the loss earlier in the show.

763
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 2: How much pressure did the Blue Jays just put on

764
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 2: the Dodgers to come out and thump them that way?

765
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 5: You ready for this?

766
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 6: Yes, the Dodgers are hoping that it's day and night today.

767
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 9: Mary Fine familiar? Are you familiar with the Fine system

768
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 9: on the show? Oh my god, Mary, you didn't do

769
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,760
Speaker 9: your job. You didn't tell her about this coming in.

770
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 5: No is it because I sounded just like the.

771
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 4: Song, Yeah, that's gonna be a fun no.

772
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 5: Okay, Well back to the Dodgers now.

773
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 6: I just had a friend of mine message me and say, hey, look,

774
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 6: I'm listening to you on Fox Sports Radio, like the

775
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 6: whole world is buck so just you know, keep keep

776
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 6: that in mind. And he said, we're fine. As a

777
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 6: Dodgers fan, I'm fine. And look here's the thing that

778
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 6: Dodgers fans I was around were not fine.

779
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 5: But it's one of those.

780
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 2: Things a person sounds like they're trying to talk themselves

781
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 2: into being fine, Like, no, I swear.

782
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 4: To God, I'm fine.

783
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 5: I promise you I'm fine.

784
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 6: Oh God, yeah no, but I will say they understand

785
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 6: that it wasn't gonna be an easy road, right, like

786
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 6: it's gonna be it's gonna take time to get to

787
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 6: the World Series Trophy. But as somebody looking, let me

788
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 6: just say, I grew up in New England, Okay, I'm

789
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 6: from Boston, grew up a Red Sox fan, so I

790
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 6: root for the Dodgers now that I live in Los Angeles.

791
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 6: But like, maybe my fandom is a little different than

792
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 6: people who grew up here. All that to say, there

793
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 6: is pressure on this Dodgers team. But when you look

794
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 6: at the Blue Jays, they had not been to the

795
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 6: World Series in how long and they're playing in Toronto.

796
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 6: You think those fans in that team were gonna lose

797
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 6: Game one? Absolutely not. I don't think a lot of

798
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 6: people thought the Dodgers were gonna win Game one. It's

799
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 6: the way that they lost that is very concerning, giving

800
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 6: up nine runs in one half of an inning. Let

801
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,439
Speaker 6: me tell you this book. I was at dinner last night.

802
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 6: It's to too My husband and I were like, all right,

803
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 6: let's go home, like we can make it home for

804
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 6: the rest of the game. We get home, I'm putting down.

805
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 6: And you have kids, No, okay, I'm putting down. I'm

806
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 6: gonna tell you this story real quick. I'm putting down

807
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 6: my daughter, okay, right, Like it is very Anyone who

808
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 6: knows kids knows how important this is. It is very

809
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 6: quiet in her house. She just shuts her eyes. All

810
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 6: of a sudden, I hear my husband scream from the

811
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 6: other room.

812
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 5: I'm like, what are you doing? What are you talking about?

813
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 5: Like she's about to fall asleep, Please be quiet. He's

814
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 5: like the Dodgers. Just now it's eleven to two.

815
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 6: I'm like, okay, well now it's eleven to two, and

816
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 6: now our daughter is awake.

817
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,240
Speaker 5: So drama. I mean, it's just how did that happen?

818
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 2: Baseball's funny that way, and certainly you hope that the

819
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 2: postseason is going to balance itself out a little more.

820
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 2: It's it is the right approach for Dodgers fans to

821
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 2: carry themselves in a way that today, you know, it's

822
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 2: just one result. The cliche has turned the page, and

823
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 2: that's exactly what they have to do. We'll see if

824
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 2: they're able to respond. We'll get back to the World

825
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 2: Series here a little later. We're going to talk about

826
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,240
Speaker 2: a team that is try to figure out how fine

827
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,640

00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 2: the biggest surprises, though, of the NFL season, if we're

839
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 2: to keep it football on this Fox Sports Saturday. She's

840
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 2: bridge at Condon by the way, filling in for Jason Fits.

841
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 2: Is so nice to be working with somebody who's actually talented,

842
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 2: as opposed to the baggage that Fits he brings to

843
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 2: this show and his frozen grapes. And it's nonsense. No

844
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 2: I'm not you can't find me. You cannot find me.

845
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 2: It wasn't rude, It's true.

846
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 5: No, you can't talk craping a person out here. They

847
00:40:58,200 --> 00:40:59,280
Speaker 5: have to be able to defend themselves.

848
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 4: I like that, But I do it to his space two.

849
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 5: Someone just clip this and show it to him.

850
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 2: He knows, I mean, he knows that anytime I open

851
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 2: a microphone and I utter his name, I'm going to

852
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 2: say something nasty about him. It's just kind of the

853
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 2: dynamic Bridget that we've had for ten years. She's Bridget conded,

854
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 2: by the way. I'm buck rising. That's Mary Mack hanging

855
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 2: out in La Lee is filling in for Ian today

856
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 2: because we're the replacements. But that's just fine, because we've

857
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 2: got some good football conversation.

858
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 4: To get into.

859
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 2: What is a bigger surprise in the NFL this season

860
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 2: than the second place. Well, there's a couple of different

861
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 2: things that you could look at, but the way that

862
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 2: the NFC East is playing out so far bridget We

863
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 2: understand that the Philadelphia Eagles still, you know, for no

864
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 2: pun intended rule the roost at five and two, but

865
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 2: they are going through their own version of adversity. The

866
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 2: New York Giants are two and five, but they feel

867
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 2: like the vibes are so much better. Yeah than that

868
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 2: for a last place team. Now, they're coming off a

869
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 2: story where Brian Daball and the Giants organization and running

870
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 2: back gam Scataboo, we're all fine for violating the league's

871
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 2: concussion protocol a couple of weeks ago on Thursday Night Football. Obviously,

872
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 2: there's a couple of different instances where teammate and coach

873
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 2: are checking in on Jackson Dart who is being evaluated

874
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 2: for a concussion.

875
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 4: You don't stick your head in the blue tent.

876
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 2: You don't freak out like Brian da Ball did because

877
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 2: he was having to watch Russell Wilson play football and

878
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 2: he wanted his rookie stud quarterback out there. But where

879
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 2: are the vibes better for a losing football team than

880
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 2: the New York Football Giants right now.

881
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,879
Speaker 6: It's interesting because I looked a couple hours ago at

882
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 6: the standings of the NFC East, which you think that

883
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 6: I would know, because I was like, there's no way

884
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 6: the Giants are last in the East right like their

885
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 6: second No, they're last. But because of how fun I

886
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 6: guess Jackson Dart has made this team, it feels like,

887
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 6: for the first time since I don't know, before Daniel

888
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 6: Jones got drafted, there's positivity in New York for the Giants,

889
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:54,879
Speaker 6: which is just such a weird thing because yes, they're

890
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,399
Speaker 6: two and five, they should be three and five. It's

891
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 6: weird two. I mean, this week has been weird collapse

892
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 6: that we saw from the Giants in the second half

893
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 6: against the Broncos last time, one of.

894
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 2: The drunkest games I've ever seen. I covered Shane Bowen

895
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 2: for a couple of years in Tennessee. I know he

896
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,439
Speaker 2: is getting heat in New York this week.

897
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:12,240
Speaker 5: So crazy.

898
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,720
Speaker 6: But regardless of that, like, let's just take that half

899
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 6: and throw it away from the time that they put

900
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 6: in Jackson Dart, which is kind of interesting because I

901
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 6: didn't think that it would be this drastic of a difference.

902
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 6: You look at Russell Wilson and what he's done over

903
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 6: his career. I understand like it's kind of been down

904
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 6: hill since he left Seattle, but what he's done and

905
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 6: like the talent that he has, and even like what

906
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 6: he did with the Seahawks last or sorry, the Steelers

907
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 6: last year, I thought, Okay, you know this rookie is

908
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 6: not going to be able to do much better, Like

909
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 6: that's why you kind of put the rookie in right,

910
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 6: Well not in this case, like everybody praises this guy

911
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 6: so much. I'm shocked with the drastic difference of how

912
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 6: this Giants team looks with Russell Wilson versus Jackson Dart. Again,

913
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 6: like the fact that they are Like just looking at

914
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 6: the NFC East Okay Eagles, Cowboys, Commanders, Giants, I don't know,

915
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 6: like it could would that have been your pick in

916
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 6: the preseason.

917
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 2: No.

918
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 6: I thought the Commanders would be in first place, to

919
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 6: be honest, and the Cowboys, once I heard they were

920
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 6: hiring Brian Schottenheimer, I was like, oh, they're gonna be

921
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 6: last in the league this year.

922
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:25,760
Speaker 2: I was kind of skeptical of Washington, not not because

923
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 2: Jane Daniels isn't spectacular or that they didn't do so

924
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 2: much to earn the right to have expectations. Like that's

925
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 2: the thing in football, you got to earn the right

926
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 2: to have some level of expectation. God knows, the Washington

927
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 2: football franchise has not had any level of real, like

928
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 2: genuine championship aspirations or expectations around them. I mean a

929
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 2: bridget I might argue my entire adult lifetime. I'm thirty two.

930
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 2: I feel like that team, you know, say, for a

931
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 2: few Taylor Heineke playoff appearances or something like that, they

932
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,240
Speaker 2: haven't really mattered flashing the pan type stuff.

933
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 4: RG three's rookie year type stuff.

934
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 2: Right, So the fact that they came into this year

935
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 2: with a lot of hype understandably so a lot of excitement,

936
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 2: a lot of hope for the rookie quarterback and frankly

937
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 2: or the second year quarterback in.

938
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 4: Jade and Daniels. It's just kind of the nature of

939
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 4: the league. Right.

940
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:21,720
Speaker 2: There's regression to the mean here, because was what stood

941
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 2: out about Washington beyond that Jaden Daniels was such a phenomenon.

942
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 2: They were remarkably healthy, like remarkably healthy. And it's so

943
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,760
Speaker 2: lame for all the hours that you spend on television

944
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 2: or I spend on radio talking about the National Football League,

945
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 2: all the different things, all the different strategies, all the

946
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 2: different tendencies and things like that, just for at the

947
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 2: end of the day, the real crux of the conversation

948
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 2: being like, Yeah, the team that's most likely to win

949
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl is the healthiest team, who's got almost

950
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 2: all of the players or as close to as many

951
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 2: of the players as they had at the start of

952
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 2: the year as they do at the end of the year.

953
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 2: Whoever's dragging their leg across the finish line. Yeah, that's

954
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,839
Speaker 2: usually how it ends up going Washington, say.

955
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 5: Again, unless you're the Chiefs, right, Like, it doesn't matter.

956
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 4: They pissed me off.

957
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 2: I mean just I admire them. I admire them, but

958
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 2: they pissed me off the fact that they again a

959
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 2: third place team, four and three. Right now, who you

960
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 2: would think if we asked you that at the start

961
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 2: of the season, if the Chiefs were four and three

962
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 2: in third place behind Denver and the Chargers, what would

963
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 2: be the conversation in Kansas City right now, it's hope,

964
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 2: it's joy, it's optimism, it's more coming for all of

965
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 2: your stuff again, because that four and three requires some context.

966
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 2: The Washington three and four require some context too, as

967
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 2: does the Giants.

968
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 4: But I probably, I don't know.

969
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 2: I was a little more down on Washington just because

970
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 2: I assumed there was gonna be some unforeseen setbacks that

971
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 2: they just have to go through because it happens to

972
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 2: literally every team.

973
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 4: Look at the Ravens.

974
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 5: I want to ask you about the Cowboys now.

975
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 6: When they traded away Mico Is when I was really like, oh,

976
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 6: it's it's a throwaway season.

977
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 5: Did you feel the same.

978
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 2: I just felt like, I mean, I don't know, it's

979
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,439
Speaker 2: easy for me to sit here and a different media

980
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 2: market and look at Jerry Jones and being like, look

981
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 2: at that crazy old man.

982
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:03,359
Speaker 4: What's he doing?

983
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 2: Like, look, it's just like Grandpa got got a hold

984
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 2: of the mat and controls and just started dealing players

985
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 2: for nothing at all and having a big time out there. Yeah,

986
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 2: they made a huge hole on their roster with the

987
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 2: conversation being about draft capital and needing to stop the run,

988
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 2: and they can't do that with Kenny Clark on defense.

989
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 2: It was just a nonsense trade, so for sure. But

990
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 2: I had no idea. Just like any other season where

991
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 2: you talk about preseason expectations that just don't end up

992
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 2: holding up at all, I had no idea this was

993
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 2: going to be the best football that Dak Prescott's ever

994
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 2: played of his career.

995
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 4: Who saw that coming?

996
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 5: Nobody? I'm like, did you and Mica have b for?

997
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 5: Something was going on? Was he like bullying you wi

998
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 5: his locker or something? I don't understand.

999
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 6: This weekend is going to be huge though for the

1000
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:52,839
Speaker 6: NFC East, in particular the Cowboys. They played the Broncos,

1001
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 6: which we were just talking, you know about this Broncos

1002
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 6: bonext team and how they are above the Chiefs in

1003
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 6: the at AFC West.

1004
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:02,399
Speaker 5: I don't know like that.

1005
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 6: To me, this game feels really important and Week eight

1006
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 6: is into the direction of the Cowboys and the Broncos.

1007
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 2: How much do you trust the Broncos though, because like

1008
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 2: I shall one and they kind of look exactly the

1009
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 2: same thing as Week one.

1010
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,280
Speaker 6: I got to go to London to watch some NFL

1011
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 6: right amazing on the outside looking in like so fun

1012
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 6: the first thank god it was there two weeks The

1013
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 6: first game that I watched Broncos jets.

1014
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 5: Okay, even people in London, like the fans.

1015
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 6: Over there, are just so excited to see people getting

1016
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 6: tackled right like they love NFL, doesn't matter who it is.

1017
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 5: Even they were like, it's kind of boring, mate, eh.

1018
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 6: And that was my attempt for the shocks.

1019
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 2: The way that you immediately.

1020
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 4: Started leaking confidence as you tried that. Mary of fine,

1021
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:50,320
Speaker 4: I think that's fine worthy.

1022
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 6: I just I don't know that it was kind of

1023
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 6: poor though, hello mate, but like now I'm doing a show.

1024
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,879
Speaker 4: Mary so much nicer to you, by the way than she.

1025
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 6: Is girl like woman power girl, no, because you know,

1026
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 6: we just connect. But anyways, they were like this is

1027
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 6: boring and I'll start, I'll stop. But my point being

1028
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 6: the Broncos offense, what the heck? It didn't come on

1029
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 6: the plane with them to London and apparently got lost

1030
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 6: in tsa second half of the game last week. So

1031
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 6: I mean that was their defense too. But you know

1032
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 6: what I'm saying, like, I don't trust them to answer

1033
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,240
Speaker 6: your question in a long form version.

1034
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 2: No, I mean it's we got two hours. It's okay

1035
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 2: to stretch your legs a little bit here. We got

1036
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:34,439
Speaker 2: we got room to work. It's just one of those

1037
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 2: things where the Broncos are five and two and to

1038
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 2: to your credit or to their credit. Rather, it's just

1039
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 2: about winning the game, so it doesn't necessarily matter how

1040
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 2: it looks. Yeah, you're going to be doubted and things

1041
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,240
Speaker 2: like that. But I just coming off Thursday Night Football,

1042
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 2: for example, before we get to the rest of the

1043
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 2: Week eight slate, the way that the Chargers just bludging

1044
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 2: the vikings, and I understand that Carson wins is an

1045
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 2: absolute hell.

1046
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 4: And he's got a brace on.

1047
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 2: His elbow the size of most people's knee braces after

1048
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 2: they tear their acl and he's behind a makeshift offensive line,

1049
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 2: and he looks like he's just, I mean, being crippled

1050
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 2: every time he drops back because of how often they're

1051
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:18,359
Speaker 2: getting to the quarterback. Chargers didn't care how they won

1052
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 2: that game though, right They just grounded out. That's how

1053
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 2: they want to win. I covered Mike Rabel and Tennessee

1054
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 2: for a period of time. He had a bunch of

1055
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 2: teams like that. It's just physicality, toughness. They're going to

1056
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 2: win within the margins. Try not to be super penalized

1057
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 2: and see if you can be a plus from the sidelines.

1058
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:37,319
Speaker 2: But they had an identity that they embraced. And I

1059
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 2: know that's a cliche that football fans probably get tired

1060
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 2: of hearing it. God knows, we and the media get

1061
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 2: tired of hearing it because it's just repeated. No matter

1062
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 2: who you are, or what team you're covering, or what

1063
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 2: athlete you're asking, identity and culture always seem to come up.

1064
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 2: But Rabel coached teams were always about something to the

1065
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 2: effect of, it's not pretty, but it's beautiful, because winning

1066
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,840
Speaker 2: is beautiful, even if the process, even how even if

1067
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 2: how the sausage of the win is made is not

1068
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 2: esthetically pleasing. The Chargers are that right now. The Broncos

1069
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 2: are that right now. I'm having a hard time being

1070
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 2: as tough on them as I feel like I want

1071
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 2: to be because I watch them. I watch them in

1072
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 2: the Packers Bridget and I come away just be like,

1073
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 2: I don't.

1074
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 4: Know about this.

1075
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 2: Like this, yes, you're winning, but it just it doesn't

1076
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 2: make sense. At some point, this house of cards called

1077
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 2: bo Knicks is going to come collapsing down on itself

1078
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 2: and we'll find out who the Broncos actually are.

1079
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 4: And we do have it more than half of.

1080
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,399
Speaker 2: A season of football to play just yet, but they've

1081
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,759
Speaker 2: certainly done themselves a great service by getting that.

1082
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 4: Who what other team? When I say winning football team?

1083
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 2: Clearly winning football team, but that you just feel a

1084
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 2: little fraudy about what other team comes to mind? Oh?

1085
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 6: Really the team that immediately the Carolina Panthers winning football team, Like,

1086
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 6: how are they look at you?

1087
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:03,839
Speaker 2: Try to young people's Ye, Carolina, you know.

1088
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,319
Speaker 6: I covered them right, Like I also need to just

1089
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 6: interrupt myself for a second. I don't know what games

1090
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,800
Speaker 6: you have in your studio on the TV, but speaking

1091
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,320
Speaker 6: of teams in North Carolina that I covered, I'm staring

1092
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 6: at NC State getting absolutely destroyed by Pitt. I don't

1093
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 6: know why this is on my TV, but like, there's

1094
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 6: so many better games anyways, Carolina Panthers have the same

1095
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 6: amount of wins as the Buffalo Bills. What the heck

1096
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 6: are we doing? That is a team that makes me

1097
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 6: really curious. They seem fraudulent, but you know, I'm gonna

1098
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 6: let their vibes be positive. Falcons to another team that

1099
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 6: I'm like, are you good? Are you not good?

1100
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:44,479
Speaker 5: It depends on the week.

1101
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 6: Like early in the season, I was like this team

1102
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 6: is it and then that collapse. It's just it's up

1103
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 6: and down, up and down, up and down for the Falcons,

1104
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 6: the Patriots. I was going to ask you about Mike

1105
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 6: Vrabel because obviously growing up in New England, a lot

1106
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:02,240
Speaker 6: of people I know still they're very excited and happy

1107
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 6: about the five and two Patriots and what Mike Rabel

1108
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 6: is doing.

1109
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 5: Oh, they're changing the TV for me. Thank you guys

1110
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:07,800
Speaker 5: so much.

1111
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 2: All you have to do is complain in front of

1112
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,320
Speaker 2: the microphones, and usually good things happens.

1113
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 5: And off my TV.

1114
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 6: I've seen way too much of his face in my career. Anyway,

1115
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 6: let me not start hating on NTC Mike Rabel. You

1116
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 6: got to miss him, You got to miss him in Tennessee.

1117
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 5: What the heck?

1118
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, why don't we Why don't we talk about this

1119
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 2: on the other side, the idea of the grass being

1120
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 2: greener and coaching, because there's a lot of teams that

1121
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 2: are considering doing exactly that.

1122
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 4: Mike Vrabel is a really good test study. If by the.

Speaker 4: The only thing that bothers me more than.

1145
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 2: Fireworks is bad football organizations. Not just bad football teams,

1146
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:56,400
Speaker 2: not just bad football, but teams that stay bad because

1147
00:54:56,440 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 2: they're run poorly. There's many fans that identify with that.

1148
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 2: On this Fox Sports Saturday, she's Bridget Condon filling in

1149
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 2: for the aforementioned Jason Fitz. I'm Buck Rising hanging out

1150
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 2: with you for just about thirty more minutes, a little

1151
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 2: more than thirty minutes. At this point, I cannot stand

1152
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:20,360
Speaker 2: when I watch teams that are bad. Historically, Bridget continued

1153
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:23,400
Speaker 2: to make bad decisions. That so happens to be the

1154
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 2: case with the team that I have covered. This is

1155
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 2: my ninth season covering the Tennessee Titans. I'm here in Indianapolis.

1156
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 2: You guys are hanging out in Los Angeles and wherever

1157
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 2: all of you are hanging out with us across the

1158
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio network. We appreciate you spending a bit

1159
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:41,720
Speaker 2: of your Saturday with us. The Titans organization is a mess.

1160
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 2: They have fired Brian Callahan. They're the first team to

1161
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 2: fire a head coach this season. Brian Callahan, by the way,

1162
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:50,439
Speaker 2: should have been fired to somebody who covers that team

1163
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 2: on a regular basis, not because he's a bad person,

1164
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:56,799
Speaker 2: but because he was an ineffective coach. They replaced an

1165
00:55:56,800 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 2: effective coach with a highly ineffective coach. They fired Mike

1166
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 2: Vrabel for the sake of Brian Callaghan. They fired John Robinson,

1167
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 2: the former general manager. They fired Ran Carthon the general

1168
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:12,280
Speaker 2: manager after that, so Rabel, Callahan, Carthon Robinson. The wheels

1169
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 2: on the bus go round and round and round. And

1170
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 2: as I watched Mike Vrabel whip their ass on the

1171
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 2: opposing sideline in Week seven, where the Titans lost to

1172
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 2: the Patriots thirty one to thirteen, I thought to myself,

1173
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 2: surely this bridget will make the Titans organization self reflect

1174
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 2: a little bit on what was standing opposite them on

1175
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:35,760
Speaker 2: the sideline and understanding that Mike Rabel's got a really

1176
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 2: good quarterback situation as the head coach of the Pats.

1177
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's about letting the football people do their jobs

1178
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 2: without meddling. And I just can't help but think that

1179
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 2: that happens all over the National Football League.

1180
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 6: My question to you is, do you think that that

1181
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 6: registered in their brains watching that game? Hell no, Like,

1182
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,800
Speaker 6: here's the thing, I don't understand it. And of course

1183
00:56:57,880 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 6: it is so much easier for you and I to

1184
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 6: look at these franchises from the outside and see the

1185
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 6: mistakes that they're making and laugh and say, we would

1186
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 6: never do that, right like, of course, because you and

1187
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 6: I are incredibly intelligent and if we had, uh, if

1188
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 6: we wanted to spend our billions on a team. I

1189
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 6: know that we both have them, we would be making

1190
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 6: much better decisions. But my question is, it feels like

1191
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 6: there's so much overcompensating when things like this happens. It's

1192
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 6: like when you're on a diet and you have I

1193
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 6: don't know, like you slip up and you have a

1194
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 6: piece of bread or like a reseas and then you

1195
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 6: just like open the fridge and go ham because you

1196
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 6: already messed up once.

1197
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 5: Let's just go all the way in that.

1198
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 4: Every time I get back from a football road trip,

1199
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 4: I'm like, I already ate.

1200
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 2: I already ate three times, so well let.

1201
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 4: Me let me go get a let me go get

1202
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 4: a pizza on top of it.

1203
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 6: Why not? That kind of feels like what happened with

1204
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 6: the Titans, Like, well, we already fired this guy, let's

1205
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 6: fire the rest of them.

1206
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 5: And then.

1207
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 6: We talked about this a little bit before the break.

1208
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 6: The grass always seems greener. That is the issue with

1209
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 6: so much much of the NFL and professional sports in general.

1210
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 5: Right, you have these owners that are.

1211
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 6: Used majority of them come from the business world, right,

1212
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 6: and you are used to putting in work and money

1213
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 6: and resources and hiring intelligent people and seeing results, right like,

1214
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 6: that's in a normal world, that's how the direction trends.

1215
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 6: But in the NFL there are so many uncontrollables. We

1216
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 6: talked about health, we talk about just like weird flops

1217
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 6: that happen in a game, like games sometimes where one

1218
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 6: team is expected to win they don't like for whatever reason.

1219
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:40,840
Speaker 6: Weird things happen in the NFL much more than they

1220
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 6: do I would say in a business world. And so

1221
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 6: a lot of these times we see these organizations make

1222
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 6: these rash decisions to try to erase it and like

1223
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 6: fix it and want this immediate result. But the issue

1224
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 6: is in the NFL, the immediate results really don't happen,

1225
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 6: and if they do happen, you usually leads to a downfall.

1226
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 6: The one team I will say that this didn't happen

1227
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 6: to was the Rams when they put everything in they

1228
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 6: won the Super Bowl, and then the next year they

1229
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 6: had that horrible year. But then since then it's kind

1230
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 6: of been steady, right like. Other than that, Usually it's

1231
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 6: like when you're throwing everything in to one year, one season,

1232
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 6: you're trying to get those quick results, then things don't

1233
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 6: work out so well for you. After that because you

1234
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:25,480
Speaker 6: ruined like the future. Like basically, all I'm trying to

1235
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 6: say is like sometimes we just need to zoom out

1236
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 6: a little bit, be a little patient, accept some bad

1237
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 6: and stick with it and like really evaluate people individually.

1238
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 6: Like Mike Rabel was coaching a bad team. He's not

1239
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 6: a bad coach, and we see that now with the

1240
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 6: success he's having in New England.

1241
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 4: Well, and like the Rams.

1242
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 2: When the Rams did their version of bottoming out after

1243
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, right bridget it was, it was a

1244
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,959
Speaker 2: five win football team. Like, they weren't the worst in

1245
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 2: the league. They were not great any stretching imagination, but

1246
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 2: they didn't.

1247
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 5: Say, let's fire Sean McVay.

1248
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were still competent enough you understood the context

1249
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 2: of that. And the Rams, I mean, obviously they would

1250
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 2: have been fools to even think or even have a

1251
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 2: passing thought about moving on from Sean McVay after that circumstance,

1252
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 2: which is how things felt, and it was a little

1253
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 2: split at the end of rabel situation is more complicated

1254
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 2: than oh, owner did a dumb thing and fired a

1255
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 2: coach that was.

1256
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:27,439
Speaker 4: Good even though the roster was bad.

1257
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 2: Like Rabel's also famously not an easy person to work with,

1258
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:35,480
Speaker 2: and I have spent many, many years getting yelled at

1259
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 2: in press conferences and outside of press conferences by Mike Rabel.

1260
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 2: But the COMAP, Yeah, well, honestly, I would take the

1261
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 2: chaos of covering Mike Rabel over whatever the hell it

1262
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 2: is that I'm being lulled to sleep by on Sundays

1263
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 2: when I cover the Tennessee Titans at one and six,

1264
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 2: the Indianapolis Colts, who are six and one, much like

1265
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 2: the COMAP, will put me to sleep sitting high atop

1266
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 2: Lucas Oil Stadium in the press box.

1267
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 4: That gives me vertigo. But that's okay, because bad football

1268
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 4: can be soothing. Yes, I have been so far at

1269
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 4: least so far at least, so if.

1270
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 2: I give you beers afterwards, you know, lookas only we

1271
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 2: got to work on something.

1272
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 4: But that's that's like way.

1273
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 2: So who's the next Who's the next franchise to get

1274
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 2: in a situation like this, because I think that's a

1275
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 2: fascinating conversation for me.

1276
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 6: I got it, I got it. Are we allowed to

1277
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 6: say it now? Or we need to have Martin break

1278
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 6: it down?

1279
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:32,920
Speaker 4: No, first, we need Martin Weiss, of course, unless he's

1280
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 4: not ready.

1281
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 5: Oh, he's ready, He's always ready.

1282
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 4: That's right. I am ready right here.

1283
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 8: Five minutes left in the fourth quarter, Mississippi State with

1284
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:45,919
Speaker 8: a ten point lead on Texas. Texas has the ball

1285
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 8: trying to score a test and here as arts Man

1286
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 8: and just thirds and incompletion, it's a thirty eight to

1287
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 8: twenty eight. The twenty second ranked team in the nation,

1288
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 8: the Texas Longhorns, again knocking on the door, second and

1289
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 8: goal from the five. Keep you updated there, Texas Tech

1290
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 8: and Oklahoma State, it's all over, but the final score

1291
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 8: forty two to nothing with just under five minutes left

1292
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:07,960
Speaker 8: in the fourth quarter. Miami and Stanford just getting started.

1293
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 8: My ninth rank Hurricane trailing the Cardinals seven to nothing

1294
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 8: to twenty left in the first quarter and with just

1295
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 8: on a nine left in the first quarter, scoreless between

1296
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:21,920

1297
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 8: Ucla fifty six to six, Georgia Tech syric over Syracuse

1298
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:29,160

1300
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 8: the year, thirty fourth to twenty six. Sixteenth tranth Virginia

1301
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 8: survived at North Carolina two point conversion attempt that was

1302
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:42,240
Speaker 8: got down at the one yard line, seventeenth to sixteen.

1303
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 8: The final score that game went to overtime. Kansas State

1304
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 8: beat Kansas forty two to seventeen. Then the Sunflower Showdown.

1305
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 8: It was the seventeenth straight Wildcat win. Lamar Jackson won't

1306
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:55,000
Speaker 8: play against the Barrison Whilways had a hamstring injury after

1307
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 8: he was listed as a full participant in practice on Friday.

1308
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:01,160
Speaker 8: The Ravens had to adjust that practice report after with

1309
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 8: a statement released earlier today. That's his third straight game missed.

1310
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:06,920
Speaker 8: Tyrod Taylor ruled out for the Jets.

1311
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 4: Game against the Bengals.

1312
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,640
Speaker 8: Justin Fields will get at the start. Kyle Boys play

1313
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 8: Straymon Diggs on injured reserve he'll miss the next four games,

1314
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 8: and the Falcons expecting to start Kirk Cousins as Michael

1315
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 8: Pennix suffered a bone bruise in his left knee last week.

1316
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 8: Texas lining up for a field goal on fourth end

1317
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 8: goal four minutes.

1318
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 4: And twenty seconds left in the fourth quarter.

1319
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 8: It's a twenty six yard attempt for the Longhorns that

1320
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 8: goes through the uprights. Now Texas trailing Mississippi State by

1321
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 8: a touchdown thirty eight to thirty one.

1322
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:42,880
Speaker 2: Back to you, guys, Thank you Martin. She's Bridge of content.

1323
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 2: I'm Buck Rising hanging out with you on this Fox

1324
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 2: Sports Saturday. We were talking about the idea of firing coaches.

1325
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 2: I cover a team that's already fired their coach, and

1326
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:56,560
Speaker 2: the coach deserved to be fired, and the organization is dysfunctional,

1327
01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 2: but for other reasons beyond the coach that needed to

1328
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:03,000
Speaker 2: be fired getting fired. What comes after, though, is the unknown,

1329
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 2: and that's the situation that a lot of these NFL

1330
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 2: franchises are going to be sitting in bridget You had

1331
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 2: a tease before we got updated on all of the

1332
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:13,360
Speaker 2: things going on in the world of college sports, and

1333
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 2: really all of the things going around going on in

1334
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 2: the sports world right now.

1335
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 4: Would you like to set that up again for the audience.

1336
01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:24,560
Speaker 6: Absolutely, a team that comes to mind in conversations. People

1337
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 6: keep throwing out names. Right this is We're almost midway

1338
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 6: through the season. This is the time when fans are

1339
01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 6: calling for their coaches. Except like your team, they were

1340
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 6: calling for him after Week one. Usually they wait until

1341
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 6: the middle of the season. John Harbaugh and the Ravens.

1342
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 6: People want him fired, And my pause for this is

1343
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 6: exactly what we are talking about, what comes after John Harba.

1344
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 6: Why do people want him fired? Yes, because they're having

1345
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 6: a horrible start to the season. But is that on

1346
01:04:57,000 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 6: John Harba?

1347
01:04:59,200 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 3: No?

1348
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 5: Absolutely, well, look we can I would love to.

1349
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:12,160
Speaker 2: I don't think he's faultless. I'm not saying that faultless, No,

1350
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 2: certainly not. I mean, we're seeing the guy who was

1351
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:17,320
Speaker 2: held on such a pedestal for so many years flounder

1352
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 2: about at North Carolina. They almost had an upset a

1353
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:22,120
Speaker 2: ranked an upset went over a ranked opponent today North

1354
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 2: Carolina and Bill Belichick.

1355
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 4: But I mean, we see they played Virginia.

1356
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 5: And they almost won.

1357
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 4: They almost won. They were just short.

1358
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 2: It was like the guy was like inches short of

1359
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:37,400
Speaker 2: the goal line to pull off an upset. So Bill

1360
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 2: not having his worst day, even though they ended up losing.

1361
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 2: My point is, though, the players matter infinitely more than

1362
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:45,400
Speaker 2: the coaches. John Harbaugh can't make a tackle for the

1363
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 2: Ravens defense, Brian Callahan can't complete a pass for cam

1364
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 2: Ward right Like, it's it's about the guys on the field.

1365
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:55,040
Speaker 2: But I don't know, bridget when when you spend so

1366
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:55,960
Speaker 2: much time there.

1367
01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 4: That's an interest.

1368
01:05:57,080 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 2: That's a really fascinating case study because I think there

1369
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:04,360
Speaker 2: is some idea that the messaging on stuff can go

1370
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 2: stale after a while.

1371
01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 4: Also the idea that their star quarterback is missing time.

1372
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 5: Okay, but now I'm like, where do I want to

1373
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 5: go with this? I'm stressed. I'm stressed.

1374
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,000
Speaker 6: Like I'm a big fan of John Harbaugh, So like,

1375
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 6: please don't talk badly about him, No, just kidding. Let's

1376
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 6: let's compare him to Mike Tomlin. Then, Okay, because Mike

1377
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 6: Tomlin talk about we talked about Joe Flacco earlier, like

1378
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 6: ride in the wave of a career. Mike Tomlin has

1379
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 6: rid the way, hasn't had a losing record ever as.

1380
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 5: A coach with the Steelers.

1381
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 6: Uh, both of these coaches won Super Bowl right, both

1382
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 6: of them have just one right, John Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin. Okay,

1383
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 6: Tomlin has been there longer I believe than Harbaugh.

1384
01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:57,560
Speaker 4: They both been just by a hair. It's not it's

1385
01:06:57,560 --> 01:06:58,560
Speaker 4: not a huge difference.

1386
01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 6: They've both been there a while, but they both haven't

1387
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:03,960
Speaker 6: done much since the early two tens.

1388
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:05,920
Speaker 5: Ish.

1389
01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:10,240
Speaker 6: Now, I would say there's more of a case to

1390
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 6: fire Mike Tomlin than there is John Harbaugh. But right

1391
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 6: now the conversation does not include Mike Tomlin's name. Why

1392
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:20,600
Speaker 6: because of Aaron Rodgers and because of what they're doing.

1393
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:25,720
Speaker 6: When Aaron Rodgers leaves, are those conversations going to continue again?

1394
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 5: Because the last season.

1395
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:32,400
Speaker 6: That was allowed echo fire Mike Tomlin like fans were

1396
01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:36,000
Speaker 6: calling for him, but they still somehow made the playoffs,

1397
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:39,040
Speaker 6: did not win a playoff game. I haven't done that

1398
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 6: in years. That conversation has gone away. Last season the

1399
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 6: Ravens are like one play away from doing it, and

1400
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:55,280
Speaker 6: there was no conversation about John Harbaugh. So I know

1401
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:57,560
Speaker 6: things can change so quickly in the NFL. I just

1402
01:07:57,600 --> 01:08:00,200
Speaker 6: think sometimes we need to be patient and zoom out

1403
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 6: and not make rash decision.

1404
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:02,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1405
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:05,360
Speaker 2: No, I understand your point at the crux of it,

1406
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you every time I'm in Pittsburgh, Bridget,

1407
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 2: I don't know how many times you've done games there,

1408
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 2: or how many times you've been to training camp or

1409
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:14,280
Speaker 2: things like that, but every time I do a game

1410
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh, as soon as I get in the uber,

1411
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:20,120
Speaker 2: it does not matter if the uber driver knows what

1412
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 2: I do for a living or not they are talking

1413
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:25,080
Speaker 2: about the Pittsburgh Steelers because they want to have a

1414
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,759
Speaker 2: conversation about football, because it is a die hard football

1415
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 2: town and almost to a man or a woman, no

1416
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:34,559
Speaker 2: matter what the uber driver is talking about, within the

1417
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:36,320
Speaker 2: context of the Steelers, it's about.

1418
01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 4: The underachievement of Mike Tomlin.

1419
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 2: I think they came away from that Thursday night football

1420
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:43,719
Speaker 2: game where Joe Flacco diced them up and their defensive

1421
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:48,280
Speaker 2: game plan was words that I cannot say on FCC

1422
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:51,280
Speaker 2: safe Radio, looking around and being like, how the hell

1423
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:54,439
Speaker 2: do you not adjust to the idea of playing Jamar

1424
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:57,519
Speaker 2: Chase one on one for basically an entire game and

1425
01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:00,960
Speaker 2: letting a forty year old quarterback pick you apart that way,

1426
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:04,080
Speaker 2: I think that everything that Mike Tomlin does is hyper

1427
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:08,800
Speaker 2: analyzed in that market, specifically now nationally where you and

1428
01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 2: I exist, especially in this platform, like that's not the

1429
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 2: conversation because we all know that there is worse football

1430
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 2: being played. God knows there's worse coaches out there, and

1431
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:21,760
Speaker 2: that anybody in the world would give Mike Tomlin a

1432
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:24,559
Speaker 2: job the minute the Pittsburgh Steelers even thought about it.

1433
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 2: I feel that way about John Harbaugh too, but I

1434
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:29,919
Speaker 2: do think Tomlin has a little more credibility than Harball,

1435
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:32,720
Speaker 2: at least in terms of what he in and of

1436
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:37,520
Speaker 2: himself does. I think Harball has some qualities that are admirable.

1437
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 2: I think that at the end of the day, you're

1438
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:41,559
Speaker 2: looking around at a guy to give you some kind

1439
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:44,559
Speaker 2: of tactical advantage, some kind of rule book advantage in

1440
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 2: things like that, things that people talk about with Mike Vrabel,

1441
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:50,400
Speaker 2: for example, I just don't know what Harball is in

1442
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:52,840
Speaker 2: the structure of that, other than they've had really, really

1443
01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 2: good players and he's been along for the ride.

1444
01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:57,719
Speaker 5: Respectfully, he's one of those older coaches.

1445
01:09:57,800 --> 01:09:59,600
Speaker 6: I'm not going to compare him to Bill Belichick, but

1446
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:02,639
Speaker 6: in that older wave of like players really respect him

1447
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:05,080
Speaker 6: for sure, Like the button up nests that he has right,

1448
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 6: Like the organizational stability that he brings to a franchise.

1449
01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:11,160
Speaker 6: He can win, he can do it the right way,

1450
01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:13,160
Speaker 6: Like he has all your players in line right, like

1451
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:17,000
Speaker 6: they're following, they're following what you're saying. And a lot

1452
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 6: of these maybe I don't want to say compare like

1453
01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:22,799
Speaker 6: old to young coaches, but some of these younger coaches

1454
01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:28,120
Speaker 6: you see them not have full control of the locker

1455
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 6: room for whatever reason. But like a guy like and

1456
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 6: I'll say Tomlin to a guy like Harbaugh, guy like Tomlin,

1457
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:37,320
Speaker 6: a guy like Pete Carroll, players aren't aren't talking back

1458
01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:39,240
Speaker 6: to them, you know, but like maybe they are to

1459
01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:43,760
Speaker 6: a Mike McDaniel, maybe they are to Brian McAllen. Yeah,

1460
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:46,200
Speaker 6: Like that's what I'm saying, Like, I think that's what

1461
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:47,960
Speaker 6: he brings, and people want to.

1462
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 5: Play for him.

1463
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:53,639
Speaker 6: Like, if I'm a player and you're offering me the chance,

1464
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 6: I think there's pros and cons to it, all, right,

1465
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 6: But if you are offering me the chance to play

1466
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:00,160
Speaker 6: with a guy who is a well known name, who

1467
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 6: has won a Super Bowl, who has been around this

1468
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:05,400
Speaker 6: league for so long, I'm taking that guy. And maybe

1469
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:08,760
Speaker 6: that's maybe that's the wrong decision. I don't know, but

1470
01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:12,160
Speaker 6: I think I just think John Harbaugh is not a

1471
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:14,960
Speaker 6: name that should be on the shopping block, period, full stop.

1472
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 6: That's the end of the conversation for me.

1473
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:18,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know what the Ravens are going to do, right.

1474
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:22,519
Speaker 2: That's and they're so tight lipped as an organization. Again,

1475
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 2: they may get into a little bit of trouble here

1476
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:26,840
Speaker 2: with the NFL based on the way that they've handled

1477
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:29,800
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson's situation. If you're not aware Lamar Jackson is

1478
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:32,599
Speaker 2: not going to make the start against the Bears despite

1479
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:36,880
Speaker 2: the Ravens listing him as a full practice participant on Friday,

1480
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:40,120
Speaker 2: there is going to be. There is currently an NFL

1481
01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:43,320
Speaker 2: investigation into how the Ravens handled their injury report where

1482
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:46,000
Speaker 2: they listed Lamar as a full participant despite him not

1483
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:50,000
Speaker 2: taking starter reps. He ran the scout team on Friday,

1484
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:51,920
Speaker 2: So a lot of Ravens fans going through it, a

1485
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 2: lot of Ravens fans frustrated with the organization. But to

1486
01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:59,400
Speaker 2: your point, he understands what it takes to win games.

1487
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:02,680
Speaker 2: That all the nonsensical stuff, all the marketing, all the

1488
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:06,400
Speaker 2: business side of football organizations that start to meddle with

1489
01:12:06,439 --> 01:12:09,280
Speaker 2: the football people, as I've seen done before. I'm sure

1490
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:12,719
Speaker 2: you've seen it happen in NFL organizations, where yes, people

1491
01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:15,080
Speaker 2: say that winning is the most important thing and that

1492
01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 2: the sacrifice all of it is towards the efforts of winning.

1493
01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 2: But we all understand to a certain extent, not every

1494
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:26,080
Speaker 2: NFL organization runs that way. Not every NFL organization is

1495
01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:29,160
Speaker 2: allowed to operate the football side in that way because

1496
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:31,960
Speaker 2: you've got many conflicting interests and a lot of people

1497
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:33,439
Speaker 2: grabbing in a lot of different things.

1498
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:35,160
Speaker 4: Because football is a fun sport to be a.

1499
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:36,720
Speaker 2: Part of, and you want to be the guy or

1500
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:39,639
Speaker 2: the gal to be credited with having the most amount

1501
01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:41,479
Speaker 2: of success or contributing to that.

1502
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:43,840
Speaker 4: We would be fools to not acknowledge the ego and

1503
01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:44,200
Speaker 4: all of this.

1504
01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 2: So what Steve Bashatti, the owner of the Ravens, does

1505
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:51,840
Speaker 2: in this offseason, certainly it would not happen in season.

1506
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:54,200
Speaker 2: I wonder if Zach Orr doesn't get fired in season though,

1507
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:57,240
Speaker 2: Like if you're John Harbady, you feel like there needs

1508
01:12:57,280 --> 01:12:59,920
Speaker 2: to be kind of a sacrificial lamb type situation because

1509
01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:03,280
Speaker 2: is defense not just because they're injured, they're just playing poorly.

1510
01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:04,559
Speaker 4: They look awful out there.

1511
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:08,000
Speaker 6: It's crazy because I remember two years ago I was

1512
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:09,840
Speaker 6: there too in training camp, and that was the first

1513
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:14,080
Speaker 6: year that Mike McDonald was gone, and people were praising

1514
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 6: Zach Orr, like players were talking so highly about him.

1515
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:20,640
Speaker 6: But it's another situation where like he's super young, Like

1516
01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:22,720
Speaker 6: if I'm not correct, if I'm gonna look up his

1517
01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:26,240
Speaker 6: age real real quick, because I think he's like thirty four.

1518
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:28,599
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, it'st it'll grocery autum.

1519
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:30,559
Speaker 6: I'm sure he's super young, and it's one of those

1520
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:32,800
Speaker 6: things where, yeah he was born in ninety two, what

1521
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 6: he's thirty three years old? Okay, crazy, Like there's again

1522
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:38,320
Speaker 6: pros and cons to.

1523
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:39,000
Speaker 5: Being a young guy.

1524
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:42,519
Speaker 6: And I think when you start out and you're young guy,

1525
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:44,000
Speaker 6: players are like, oh, yeah, you're like one of my

1526
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:46,479
Speaker 6: friends whatever. But then there comes a situation where it's like, Okay,

1527
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:50,559
Speaker 6: I'm not liking what you're doing, and now you're my age,

1528
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:51,880
Speaker 6: you're not my superior.

1529
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:53,799
Speaker 5: It feels like and it gets kind of messy.

1530
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:55,799
Speaker 6: And so I haven't been over there in a while,

1531
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:58,600
Speaker 6: but I wonder has he lost the locker room, you know,

1532
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:00,799
Speaker 6: especially in the defense. But they all so are dealing

1533
01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:03,880
Speaker 6: with a defense that doesn't look the same as it

1534
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:06,200
Speaker 6: looked under Mike McDonald's personnel differences, and.

1535
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:11,200
Speaker 5: I don't know. I think I would. I would be

1536
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:11,960
Speaker 5: more likely.

1537
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:15,120
Speaker 6: I think we're more likely to see that happen than

1538
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:17,360
Speaker 6: in John Harbaugh, and I think that's the better decision.

1539
01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:19,040
Speaker 6: I don't think anyone should get fired, right, Like, I

1540
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:23,679
Speaker 6: hope everybody lives long lives with great paychecks because everybody

1541
01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:25,880
Speaker 6: has families. But if they were to have to make

1542
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:28,240
Speaker 6: a change, I think the smarter move is to try

1543
01:14:28,280 --> 01:14:31,160
Speaker 6: to get maybe a defensive coordinator that is a little

1544
01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 6: more proven and been around a little bit longer than

1545
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:38,120
Speaker 6: a guy who's thirty three, but I hear great things

1546
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 6: about him.

1547
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 2: We uh, you could do worse than being a fired coach, though,

1548
01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:44,960
Speaker 2: Like that buyout money is real, even if you're just

1549
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 2: a coordinator.

1550
