This was the most productive we had seen the 175 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 4: Yankees be all series, which was insane given the hitting 176 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 4: power that they had all during the regular season, all 177 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 4: in the postseason leading up to this point, and then 178 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 4: all of a sudden, their back were completely quiet until 179 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 4: the last couple of games, and then you saw them 180 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 4: get out to that five A league. 181 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 3: I literally looked down from my phone. 182 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 4: I had to go do something real fast, and I 183 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 4: came back and it was tied, and I was like, oh, no, 184 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 4: just it was. 185 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 2: It was a complete meltdown that started with Aaron Judge 186 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 2: missing a routine flyout catch and center field like it 187 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 2: was just so weird that Anthony Volpi bouncing the throw 188 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 2: to third base and miscommunication at first when no one 189 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 2: covering it. That would have been the third out and 190 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 2: no runs scored. So you have these like three errors 191 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 2: that ended up leading to five and runs. Now, the 192 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 2: Yankees may have had the meltdown, but the Dodgers took 193 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 2: advantage of that opportunity. 194 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: And that takes a lot of effort. 195 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 2: And that's a real testament to how their season has gone, 196 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 2: because they have found ways to keep winning even when 197 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 2: they were down with injuries. They used forty different pitchers 198 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 2: during the regular season. Only two of the forty pitched 199 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 2: more than one hundred innings, and neither of them were 200 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 2: on the postseason roster, Tyler Glassnow and Gavin Stone. Like 201 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 2: even their World Series MVP Freddy Freeman was playing one 202 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 2: good leg and Freddy alone beat the Yankees. He made 203 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 2: so much history, the first ever walk off Grand Slam 204 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 2: in Game one, six straight World Series games with a 205 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 2: home run, most ever, twelve RBIs tied for the record 206 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 2: for most in a World Series that was set in 207 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 2: nineteen sixty by Yankees Bobby Richardson. 208 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 4: Like, if it hadn't been for Freddy Freeman, I like 209 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 4: this bullpen would have been way more of a story. 210 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 3: This Dodgers' bullpen would have been way more of a story. 211 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 1: That's what it was. You know, it was Freddie Freeman 212 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: and the Dodgers' bullpen. 213 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 3: Can you give an MVP to a bull. 214 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 2: They were the unsung hero and they talked about that 215 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 2: like yesterday at the speeches at the parade as well. 216 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: But like just for Freddy. 217 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 2: To have it be Freddy after everything he went through 218 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 2: this season, the illness of his son, the injuries he 219 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 2: battled through, and to be the hero with his son 220 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 2: there cheering for him in the crowd and on the. 221 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: Field with him was just such like a joyful, tearful 222 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: ending that we all needed. 223 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 2: Like it was just it was so beautiful and I'm 224 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 2: so happy for the Dodgers for la Like oh Tani 225 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 2: first season, go into the World Series. I said that 226 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 2: to Everyone told me I was crazy. I was like, no, 227 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 2: he's like, they're gonna win. You got a Tani. 228 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: Now there's that like effect. 229 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 2: We talked about it last week, like the show, Hey 230 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 2: Tani effect, similar to like the Tom Brady effect when 231 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 2: you have the greatest and the whole time come in 232 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 2: like everybody levels up to. 233 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 4: Their like the Tom Brady example too. I mean Tom 234 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 4: was not the reason they won that Super Bowl. No, 235 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 4: and so it wasn't the reason that series, which is 236 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 4: kind of ironic. 237 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 2: But they will you to get there. No huge reason 238 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 2: that you get they. 239 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 3: Put in during this season. You can't know, you can't 240 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 3: like even you can't any value. 241 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 2: Am like the work like the work ethic like just 242 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 2: like the want and need to be the best. So 243 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 2: this is the next question. Then are the Dodgers the 244 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 2: next dynasty? And I think they very easily can be. 245 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 2: They currently have won two World Series and five years. 246 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 2: They need to win another one and it. 247 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: Needs to be with it needs next year, It needs 248 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 1: to be in the next couple of years. Yeah, I 249 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: would say next two years. 250 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 3: Dynasty for me does not start until you win. 251 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 7: Back to back. 252 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 2: Okay, so mine is you have to have three titles 253 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 2: to be considered a dynasty. 254 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: You're a back to back. I am like. 255 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 4: Started at a back to back and then from there 256 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 4: it has to be like three in five years or 257 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 4: three in four years, like to me, like three in 258 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 4: six years. 259 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 2: If they get it, like I that twenty twenty, you 260 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 2: still have a lot of the guys on that team, 261 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 2: like it is the beginning. 262 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: If you have three titles, in like. 263 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 8: I mean. 264 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 4: In six years, and I mean it was close to 265 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 4: a dynasty, but I don't even know that I would 266 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 4: go so far as to say. 267 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: That that it was okay, So I'm big on this 268 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: is interesting. 269 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 2: This is always a really hot like debate topic, like 270 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 2: a dynasty for me, three championship, so like Chiefs were 271 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 2: not considered a dynasty until they won that third with mahoone, 272 00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 2: that that is the dynasty. 273 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: Once you have that third, your dynasty is. You need 274 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: back to back. 275 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 3: I need, I need it to start. 276 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 4: But just two two is the only one that No, 277 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 4: it has to you have to have more after that. Yeah, 278 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,319 Speaker 4: I don't start the dynasty conversation until a team goes 279 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 4: back to back because like if you think about the 280 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 4: dynasties of the past, right, you think about the Patriots, 281 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 4: you think about. 282 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 3: The Giant Pittsburgh Steelers. 283 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 4: You think about the last the Dallas Cowboys in the 284 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 4: Miami Dolphins back in yeah, the Kobe, right, the Kobe 285 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 4: shack Lakers, like they all had a back to back 286 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 4: championship in those I don't think. 287 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: I don't think an easy back to back, but it 288 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 1: does need to. 289 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 2: Be three in a short amount of time. I think 290 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 2: to be considered a dynasty. 291 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 3: But I think the. 292 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 4: Bigger narrative here is that they've overcome the postseason choke 293 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 4: artist label that they had. Oh yeah, Like, I think 294 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 4: that's where we start this conversation. I don't think you 295 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 4: need to jump necessarily to dynasty, but you say, oh, 296 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 4: they're not choke artists. 297 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 2: But I think, but I think it's important because baseball 298 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:57,959 Speaker 2: needs this. 299 00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: Baseball hasn't had Like. 300 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 2: The Astros were the last like great team that was 301 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 2: like almost a dynasty, but they had the cheating scandal 302 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 2: in there. Nobody liked them, no one wanted to cheer 303 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 2: for them, no one really wanted to tune in unless 304 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 2: you were an Astros fan. 305 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: This is good, really good for baseball. 306 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 2: I mean even just the twenty twenty four like the 307 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 2: viewership the World Series against the NBA Finals. World Series 308 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 2: had fifteen point eight million viewers. NBA Finals eleven point 309 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 2: three million viewers. Like, baseball is having a resurgence and 310 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 2: a moment, and it helps when you have a big 311 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 2: brand that is turning into with the potential to be 312 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 2: a dynasty. And they're only going to get better next year. 313 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 2: Otani's going to be back on the mound pitching. Their 314 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 2: pitching staff is going to be back healthy. They're rumored 315 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 2: to possibly be in the Won Soda sweepstakes, which is 316 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 2: the biggest free. 317 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 3: Age honest, Like, he was such a hero for the Yankees. 318 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 2: Which is insane. It's the Yankees don't re sign him, 319 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 2: Like there's no way. I don't think they're getting back 320 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 2: to the World Series anyway, and they didn't pick up 321 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 2: the player option for tho. Like I just the Yankees 322 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 2: are not the Yank Yankees of the old the Dodgers 323 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 2: or how the Yankees. 324 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 4: It's so interesting to me too, because I feel like 325 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 4: if any sport lends itself to having dynasties in this 326 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 4: day and age, it. 327 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: Has to be because. 328 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 3: You can spend as much as you possibly want to. 329 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 4: Like, yeah, no other of like the major sports have 330 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 4: the flexible cap that. 331 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 3: Like like Zach MLB does. 332 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: It's insane. 333 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 4: So like how there isn't already dynasties is kind of 334 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 4: interesting to me because I'm like, you can spend as 335 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 4: long as your ownership is on board. You can spend 336 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 4: as much as you want, as long as you're willing 337 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 4: to pay that tax. 338 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 2: The hardest part is not like really Baseball is an 339 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 2: individual sport played in a team atmosphere, so opposed to 340 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 2: different sports where if, like if you have a great 341 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 2: team chemistry together, like you guys can come together, will 342 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 2: I think it makes it almost easier because what it's 343 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 2: so dependent on like a single pitcher or like a 344 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 2: player getting hot at the plate, Like it's just yeah. 345 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 4: But like if you only I really have to deal 346 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 4: with like one person getting hot and staying hot? How 347 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 4: is that not the case with like we're gonna see 348 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 4: with like someone like show Hey Otani's a perfect example 349 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 4: of someone who could be a dynasty maker, Whereas like 350 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 4: in football, you have eleven guys, it's a team sport. 351 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 4: There's really not I mean, you can argue that a 352 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 4: quarterback obviously is the most important position on the field, 353 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 4: but it's not as if a good quarterback is the 354 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 4: end all be all. You still need a good defense, 355 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 4: you still need receivers for him to throw to, and 356 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 4: to keep that core together under a hard cap is 357 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 4: so much harder to me than getting one good poking to. 358 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 2: What Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reider doing, like literally is 359 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 2: the the two of them are together. He didn't even 360 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 2: have top tier receivers and he won a super. 361 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 3: Think about what that defense? 362 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 4: No, no, no, there's there's the defensive element here that people 363 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 4: do not talk about enough in Steve Spagnolo and staying 364 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 4: in Kansas City and having the talent on that side 365 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 4: of the ball. The only reasons the Kansas City Chiefs 366 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 4: were able to do that last year and win the 367 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 4: Super Bowl was yes, Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. It 368 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 4: was Chris Jones and Steve Spagnolo two on the other 369 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 4: side of the ball keeping the Chiefs in games so 370 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 4: they didn't have to go off offensively necessarily to win, 371 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 4: Like that is the ultimate again team sport. 372 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,359 Speaker 3: And then they're operating under a hard cap like where baseball. 373 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 4: One player can make that difference and there is no 374 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 4: limit at how much you can spend on that player. 375 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, which is crazy because I saw a lot of 376 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 2: haters complaining, like, yeah, it's two bigguse two of the 377 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 2: biggest payrolls in the World Series. I hate to break 378 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 2: it to you, like last year was too the Texas 379 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 2: Rangers team. You're playing a game and getting paid millions 380 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 2: of dollars. So a team that. 381 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: Invests in the best should get the best results. Don't 382 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: be mad at the team that's willing to pay. 383 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 2: Be mad at your team and your owner that's not 384 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 2: willing to pay, and go out there and get your 385 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 2: team to a World Series because that's what it takes. 386 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 2: Invest in your team and you're gonna get a good product. 387 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 2: Kind of like anything in life, if you if you 388 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 2: invest in whatever you're doing, you should be getting a 389 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 2: better product. But it's just ah, that was great. That 390 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 2: was like Chef's kiss love it. Congratulations Dodger fans.

We saw the catch of the Seasonday night. Yeah, 414 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 2: we saw the catch of the season from Garrett Wilson. 415 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 2: But like, are these Jets for real? 416 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: Right that? 417 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 2: That's the real question here because when you look at Rogers' 418 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 2: stats first and second like half are just absolutely insane. 419 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 2: Passing yards, he had thirty two in the first half 420 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy nine and the second half. Zero 421 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 2: passing touchdowns in the first half three in the second half. 422 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 2: Passer rating was fifty six point three in the first 423 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 2: half one hundred and forty seven point seven in the 424 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 2: second half. The offense was finally clicking in that second half, 425 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 2: just like in the game. We saw that obviously as 426 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,479 Speaker 2: I mentioned the catch of the season Garrett Wilson looking 427 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 2: like the Jordan logo, like full extension into thousand. 428 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 3: That the catch was sick. 429 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 4: I love I really really love him, and I just 430 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 4: I wish that he had a quarterback that would help. 431 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 3: Him more and develop him more and. 432 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 4: Being a little bit more flexible with who he is 433 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 4: as a player and playing to that yeah, because I 434 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 4: just that's not Aaron Rodgers. 435 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 2: Nobody did say he told him, like, just throw it 436 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 2: up there, I can get it, Like, just just put 437 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 2: it up like I can't catch it, which we saw. 438 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 4: But it's taken like up until the last few couple 439 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 4: of weeks for Aaron to even trust Garrett Wilson. And 440 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 4: I'm like that he is such a wonderful, budding young talent. 441 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 4: I can't say enough about Garrett Wilson just as a. 442 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: You have been like pumping them up because he's a great. 443 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 4: Player and he's such a good talent, and he has 444 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 4: the potential to be a Pro Bowl receiver, an All 445 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 4: Pro receiver, and I just want him to have the 446 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 4: best possible environment to thrive. And it's hard when your 447 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 4: quarterback already is so set in his way, is set 448 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 4: with his guys, keeps bringing his guys. 449 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 2: It's kind of like, when you think about it, like 450 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 2: I don't want to older people that are so stuck 451 00:19:58,600 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 2: in their way. 452 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: They're like, no, don't show me the new technology. No, 453 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: don't do me. 454 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 2: Then he's like, no, this is this is what I know, 455 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 2: this is what I do well, So this is what 456 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 2: we're sticking with. We also saw like DeVante Adams first 457 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 2: touchdown with the Jets and a rookie move Corley dropping 458 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 2: the ball before he was in the end zone. 459 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: Can I just why do players do this? 460 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 2: It happens went off and hold onto the ball, pulled 461 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 2: onto the ball. 462 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 8: Now. 463 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 2: Rogers talked after the game about how important this win 464 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 2: was for them mentally, saying, going, yeah, two and seven 465 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 2: would have been mentally difficult. But do you think this 466 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 2: could be the spark that turns their season around? 467 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 3: Oh, Alex, this is just they have. 468 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,479 Speaker 4: Their current chance of reaching the postseason is sixteen percent. 469 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 4: Their chance of making the Super Bowl, which again was 470 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 4: the expectation that they had of themselves, yeah, is less 471 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 4: than one percent. The chance of them winning the Super 472 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 4: Bowl is even less than that. Yeah, Like what are 473 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 4: we talking about here? Last week against the Patriots was 474 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 4: the final like nailing the. 475 00:20:58,880 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: Coffee for again. 476 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 3: If it happens for the New York Jets, it. 477 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 4: Will be so incredibly unprecedented, it will be so incredibly 478 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 4: out of the ordinary. Like I will be happy for 479 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 4: Jets fans. Don't get me wrong, Like I don't want 480 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 4: them to keep suffering. I really don't. 481 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 3: And I feel very. 482 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 4: Badly that this experiment is not going at all how 483 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 4: they wanted. And then to say, like Aaron Rodgers being like, oh, yeah, well, 484 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 4: we're gonna have to run the table from here on 485 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 4: out in. 486 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: Week eight nine, halfway point of the season. 487 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 3: You're gonna have to run the table half your point 488 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 3: of the season. 489 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: Like what are we talking? Like we already know the 490 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,120 Speaker 1: Bills are gonna run away with the division. 491 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 2: If the Jets like have a chance, they are gonna 492 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 2: be playing for a wildcard spot. 493 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: But I'm not sold on the Jets. 494 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 2: Don't get distracted by shiny things.

So, Nikki big 725 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 2: now one two World Series in five years. Do you 726 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 2: believe this Dodgers team can be the next big dynasty? 727 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 8: I do, actually, and I'm not. I'm never one to 728 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 8: get like, you know, I kind of hate the I 729 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 8: hate the window talk that immediately happens after, you know, 730 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 8: team successes, but thinking, I mean key Kate said it 731 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 8: in his his parade speech yesterday, He's like, you know, 732 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 8: we said we were going to be the best team 733 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 8: of the twenty twenties and here we are with two 734 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 8: championships and now. But what I think got them or 735 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 8: can put them in that running is the way they won. 736 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 8: This one was gritty, It was resilient, and it showed 737 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 8: the dog that I didn't think this team had the 738 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 8: past two postseasons. You know, they crumbled under the press, 739 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 8: or not crumbled, they tightened up under the pressure. Yeah, 740 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 8: I think they're playing loose and they've got this flagger 741 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 8: that like and with the move the front office makes, 742 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 8: and you know they only did it with three starting picks. 743 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 8: It's incredible. So I actually think that. I mean baseball, 744 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 8: you know, the postseason can be so random, but this 745 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 8: is this is a team built for the long haul. 746 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 3: We love it.

So Jaden is. 995 00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 2: Very quickly I think locking up that offensive Rookie of 996 00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:55,919 Speaker 2: the Year award conversation, do you believe. 997 00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:00,120 Speaker 1: This first season Jaden Daniels is the better co ar 998 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:00,439 Speaker 1: to back. 999 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:06,120 Speaker 4: First of all, if you look at Caleb's statline, Yeah, 1000 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:08,839 Speaker 4: you need to tell the tale of like the first 1001 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:10,600 Speaker 4: nine drives versus the last two. 1002 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 3: Caleb Williams, what gets lost in the hell Mary conversation? Rightfully? 1003 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 4: So, I mean that was an extreme failure by the 1004 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,560 Speaker 4: Bears defense and an utter perfect. 1005 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,160 Speaker 1: Execution saying everything it just worked in their favor. 1006 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:24,439 Speaker 4: No, I mean it was an absolute like they did 1007 00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,480 Speaker 4: not nothing about that went to plan for the Bears. 1008 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,960 Speaker 4: They there are strategies involved in exactly how you execute 1009 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,320 Speaker 4: hall Mary, how you execute to hell Mary defense. Yeah, 1010 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,359 Speaker 4: starting to play before even the Bears just completely broke down. 1011 00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 4: The Commander's then in turn did like a Jayden beautiful right. 1012 00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:42,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1013 00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:43,920 Speaker 3: But Caleb Williams. 1014 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,640 Speaker 4: Had the Bears in position to win that game twenty 1015 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 4: five seconds left on the clock. The defense did their job. 1016 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 4: They held the commanders of field goals. The Commander's offense 1017 00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,160 Speaker 4: and Jade Daniels were over three in the red zone 1018 00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,480 Speaker 4: that entire game. They had to settle for field goals 1019 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:00,080 Speaker 4: every step of the way up until the end of 1020 00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:04,080 Speaker 4: the game. And then you had Kleb Williams leading two 1021 00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,799 Speaker 4: scoring drives at the end of that game, pulling the 1022 00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,520 Speaker 4: Bears within or pulling. 1023 00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:11,000 Speaker 3: The Bears to the lead. 1024 00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:14,200 Speaker 4: They hadn't led the entire game, and you pull them 1025 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:18,000 Speaker 4: ahead with twenty five seconds left to go, even when 1026 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,279 Speaker 4: things weren't all going well for the offense. That to 1027 00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,040 Speaker 4: me is so incredibly impressive that it's not something that's 1028 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,720 Speaker 4: going to show up on the stat sheet, but Caleb 1029 00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,520 Speaker 4: Williams having the mental acuity and toughness to do that, 1030 00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,160 Speaker 4: to stick with it when nothing was working up until 1031 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 4: that point, including himself. He had a terrible three quarters, 1032 00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:40,359 Speaker 4: but that last quarter, those last two drives showed me 1033 00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:45,279 Speaker 4: so many encouraging things about Caleb Williams that if you're 1034 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:50,440 Speaker 4: I'm not gonna, I can't say who's gonna end up 1035 00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:53,080 Speaker 4: being the better quarterback at this stage of the game, 1036 00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:54,200 Speaker 4: because if you also. 1037 00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,839 Speaker 1: Listen, like no, right now, right now, right now. 1038 00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,640 Speaker 4: Jaden Daniels was put in I think a more favorable situation. 1039 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:05,359 Speaker 4: I'll concede on that, because not concede. I love Jade Daniels, Yeah, 1040 00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,319 Speaker 4: I've loved him. You know at LSU, he did so 1041 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,680 Speaker 4: many incredible things that if LSU didn't have a terrible 1042 00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,840 Speaker 4: defense last year, you're talking about a national champion probably 1043 00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,760 Speaker 4: the approach and I had this up on Fox sports 1044 00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,200 Speaker 4: dot com this week. The approach that the team that 1045 00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:23,600 Speaker 4: each team took with these quarterbacks was drastically different. Jaden 1046 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:27,040 Speaker 4: Daniels was allowed to ease into the game. What Cliff 1047 00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,760 Speaker 4: Kingsbury did so well as his offensive coordinator is blend 1048 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,560 Speaker 4: the college game with the NFL game, and he didn't 1049 00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,160 Speaker 4: expect too much from Jaden Daniels right at the get go. 1050 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:36,600 Speaker 3: He let him ease. 1051 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,560 Speaker 4: Into making certain calls at the line or AUDIBLNK. He 1052 00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,960 Speaker 4: let him ease into just throwing down the field and 1053 00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:43,160 Speaker 4: play action in general. 1054 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:47,319 Speaker 1: How if you look at Jade and daniels first four 1055 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:48,480 Speaker 1: games versus. 1056 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:52,439 Speaker 4: Last four games, it is a tale of a guy 1057 00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:54,879 Speaker 4: that was allowed to wasn't given a lot. 1058 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,520 Speaker 2: So it's the right way to develop a rookie quarterback 1059 00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:00,280 Speaker 2: if you're starting them right out of the gates. 1060 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,800 Speaker 4: I'm not even here like that article wasn't even to 1061 00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:04,560 Speaker 4: say which one is right and which one is wrong, 1062 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,880 Speaker 4: because every quarterback is different, everyone every quarterback learns different. 1063 00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,479 Speaker 4: You contrast that with what the Bears did. They gave 1064 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,680 Speaker 4: everything to Caleb Williams, all of the protection calls, all 1065 00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:18,960 Speaker 4: of the entire playbook, the different option routes, the progressions, 1066 00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:23,000 Speaker 4: the multiple the lengthy progressions, rather like he has to 1067 00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,920 Speaker 4: get through multiple reads on each play. And that was 1068 00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:30,440 Speaker 4: right from jump their betting that Caleb Williams is a 1069 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,520 Speaker 4: good enough player to just come out the other side, 1070 00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,760 Speaker 4: to be able to figure that out in the fire 1071 00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:35,880 Speaker 4: and then come out. 1072 00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:36,200 Speaker 3: The other day. 1073 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,040 Speaker 1: I believe that he is at this point, like what 1074 00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,839 Speaker 1: is that in the locker room, everyone has his back 1075 00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:43,200 Speaker 1: and go that Washington. 1076 00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:47,080 Speaker 3: Game, that Washington game. Alex proved that that is exactly. 1077 00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:49,799 Speaker 1: The teammates and the coaches and everyone believes and they 1078 00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:51,840 Speaker 1: see that, Yes, that's been the conversation. 1079 00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:56,480 Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely, this team is behind Caleb because he again 1080 00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,719 Speaker 4: pulled that team out of the seller in that game, 1081 00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,399 Speaker 4: got them to the lead with twenty five seconds to go. 1082 00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:08,040 Speaker 4: And now you have a I think the bigger story 1083 00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:11,120 Speaker 4: with any of this is the situation that Kayleb Williams 1084 00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:15,040 Speaker 4: is now in because it looks like that team, that 1085 00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:19,320 Speaker 4: organization is fracturing before our eyes because there were multiple 1086 00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:23,280 Speaker 4: players that came out that openly criticized coaching decisions leaders 1087 00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,640 Speaker 4: in the locker room. You had DJ Moore come out 1088 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,280 Speaker 4: and say, yeah, I talked about it in the beginning 1089 00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,200 Speaker 4: of the week, and then I talked to Matt Eberflus 1090 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,000 Speaker 4: about it behind the closed doors, and he said, we 1091 00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,759 Speaker 4: need to keep that internal. But then I said what 1092 00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:40,000 Speaker 4: I said, DJ Moore openly defying and doubling down on 1093 00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:44,359 Speaker 4: bringing that kind of stuff out into the public. That 1094 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,600 Speaker 4: is what is more concerning to me. But I also 1095 00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:51,399 Speaker 4: think that that is that this is a player led team. Yeah, 1096 00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,360 Speaker 4: and one of the players leading this team is a rookie. 1097 00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:57,200 Speaker 4: It is Caleb Williams, and they appreciate him, and they're 1098 00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:00,719 Speaker 4: taking kind of his side, taking the ball out of 1099 00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:05,200 Speaker 4: his hands in certain situations they haven't you agreed with that. 1100 00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:08,280 Speaker 4: The goal line play with the handoff to Doug Kramer, 1101 00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,560 Speaker 4: the offensive lineman, I don't have as much of a 1102 00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,399 Speaker 4: problem with that as most people do. I don't think 1103 00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:14,440 Speaker 4: it was the right call, but I also think that 1104 00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,360 Speaker 4: it ended up being a net good because then you 1105 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,480 Speaker 4: wasted more time and the Bears were able to take 1106 00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:24,600 Speaker 4: the lead. Anyway, Yeah, I'm very concerned as to if 1107 00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,560 Speaker 4: Matti Eberflue still has this locker room. 1108 00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:29,719 Speaker 2: That was my next question. Do you think Eberflus is 1109 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,960 Speaker 2: on the hot seat. Yeah, if this doesn't go well. Honestly, 1110 00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:35,759 Speaker 2: this is kind of his last chance moment season. I 1111 00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:37,000 Speaker 2: mean with Caleb. 1112 00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,439 Speaker 4: Well, I don't like that phrasing either necessarily, but it's 1113 00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:43,440 Speaker 4: one of those things where I've been a defender at 1114 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,440 Speaker 4: Matti Eberflus for a very long time because he has 1115 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,480 Speaker 4: done his job defensively. That defense is the reason they 1116 00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:51,439 Speaker 4: were in that Washington game to begin with. For Caleb 1117 00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,000 Speaker 4: Williams to come back. That defense started out as a 1118 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,120 Speaker 4: top five unit and has not led up this season. 1119 00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,239 Speaker 4: They are incredible, Yeah, and they have the talent, they're 1120 00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:04,720 Speaker 4: working together, it's all clicking. What Mattieberflues becomes increasingly harder 1121 00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:09,279 Speaker 4: to defend is his game management decisions. And when you 1122 00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:12,360 Speaker 4: talk about him doubling down even to his players privately, 1123 00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,680 Speaker 4: about allowing Terry McLaurin to catch that fifteen yard out 1124 00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,640 Speaker 4: and get out out of bounds before the hell Mary 1125 00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:21,240 Speaker 4: that set up the hell Mary that made that probability 1126 00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:21,759 Speaker 4: go up. 1127 00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:23,880 Speaker 3: That's where you lose me. 1128 00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,440 Speaker 4: And the fact that Tyreek Stevenson on the hail Mary 1129 00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,880 Speaker 4: has his back turned to the play, isn't involved in 1130 00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,640 Speaker 4: the play for the first five seconds it's going on. Then, 1131 00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:37,000 Speaker 4: to make up for that fact, he decides he's going 1132 00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:40,560 Speaker 4: to go rogue, and he goes and tips the ball 1133 00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:43,640 Speaker 4: into the hands of the guy that he was supposed. 1134 00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:43,880 Speaker 3: To be covering. 1135 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,799 Speaker 4: When you see Tyreek Stevens saw on the other side 1136 00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,920 Speaker 4: of the field jawing at fans. You have three timeouts, 1137 00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:54,960 Speaker 4: Matti ebraflues call a timeout, even if it's just to 1138 00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:56,280 Speaker 4: make sure that all of your guys. 1139 00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:56,719 Speaker 3: Are on the same page. 1140 00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:58,520 Speaker 4: There are plenty of coaches that in the way that 1141 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,919 Speaker 4: you ice kickers, they will take a time out before 1142 00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,440 Speaker 4: a hell Mary attempt. There's nothing to be gained by 1143 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,040 Speaker 4: the offense if you take a time out. Like everyone 1144 00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:10,160 Speaker 4: knows what's coming. There's only one way really to execute 1145 00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,560 Speaker 4: a hail Mary. It's a low probability play as it is, 1146 00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,200 Speaker 4: you might as well just take the time out there 1147 00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,840 Speaker 4: and then, especially if you see one of your players 1148 00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,160 Speaker 4: it's completely oblivious to the play going on. 1149 00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,879 Speaker 3: It's mind boggling to me. And that's the thing. 1150 00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:27,400 Speaker 4: It's so disheartening because again, I'm such a big believer 1151 00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:30,080 Speaker 4: in Maddie Brafluce as the defensive coordinator, as the defensive 1152 00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:34,040 Speaker 4: play caller, as the coach and the exes and O's guy, 1153 00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:38,200 Speaker 4: but routinely, whether it's whether or not he should challenge something, 1154 00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:42,480 Speaker 4: the mismanagement of timeouts, leaving timeouts on there again, not 1155 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:46,080 Speaker 4: calling your team back and being totally aware of what's 1156 00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:48,440 Speaker 4: happening with all eleven guys on the field. That is 1157 00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:50,160 Speaker 4: what is an excuseable to me. That is what I 1158 00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:53,440 Speaker 4: cannot defend. I'm not gonna make any sweeping conclusions about 1159 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,839 Speaker 4: it because this is someone's job we're talking about here, 1160 00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,560 Speaker 4: and we don't know how much accountability was taken behind 1161 00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:01,960 Speaker 4: the scenes, So I don't know, but I do know 1162 00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:04,560 Speaker 4: that there this is kind of a pivot or a 1163 00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:07,600 Speaker 4: turning point for the Chicago Bears. And if they can 1164 00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:12,920 Speaker 4: bounce back against Arizona, cool, that's that's that's gonna be 1165 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,640 Speaker 4: a net good then. But this is something that can snowball, 1166 00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:18,759 Speaker 4: and that's where I'm a free Yeah. 1167 00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,160 Speaker 1: It also like hurts that they are in the toughest 1168 00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:24,520 Speaker 1: division for sple well, the NFC North is like every 1169 00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:27,040 Speaker 1: team has a winning record, This is like last place. 1170 00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:30,160 Speaker 4: This is why I kept saying in the off season, Alex, 1171 00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:33,440 Speaker 4: you and I talked about it so many times. I 1172 00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,160 Speaker 4: only expected a winning record out of the Chicago Bears. 1173 00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:37,919 Speaker 3: Those are my only expectations for them. 1174 00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:41,239 Speaker 4: I stand behind the fact that if they get to 1175 00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,640 Speaker 4: a winning record, that is a successful reason. 1176 00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,759 Speaker 1: For that, that's fine by me. 1177 00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,560 Speaker 4: I don't like now that you know things are starting 1178 00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:52,600 Speaker 4: to click or work starting click before like and even 1179 00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:54,760 Speaker 4: even in the Communities game, like I said, very encouraging 1180 00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:56,239 Speaker 4: to see what Kayler Billiams was able to do at 1181 00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:56,960 Speaker 4: the end of that game. 1182 00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,000 Speaker 3: My expectations haven't changed. I feel like they've changed. 1183 00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:03,880 Speaker 4: In Chicago or that they've been resurrected because there was 1184 00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:05,440 Speaker 4: a ton of fans even before the season We're like, oh, 1185 00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:06,880 Speaker 4: we're going to the playoffs. I'm like, not when you 1186 00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,880 Speaker 4: share a division with the Packers and the and the 1187 00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,680 Speaker 4: Lions and now and now the Vikings. 1188 00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:14,879 Speaker 3: Who are so much better than I mean, I thought 1189 00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:15,239 Speaker 3: they were. 1190 00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,360 Speaker 1: Going to be good. 1191 00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:21,000 Speaker 3: But like, if you guys get to nine and eight. 1192 00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:24,160 Speaker 4: This year as the Chicago Bears, yeah that is a success. 1193 00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:28,120 Speaker 4: But if you lose the locker room in the process, 1194 00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:30,839 Speaker 4: now you're going to repeat what's happened to your two 1195 00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,759 Speaker 4: predecessors at quarterback, where the head coaches fired a year 1196 00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,879 Speaker 4: into the quarterback getting there, which doesn't work at all. 1197 00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:38,920 Speaker 4: But now the hope in Chicago is that that's not 1198 00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:41,239 Speaker 4: going to matter for Kayla Williams because he's not good 1199 00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,640 Speaker 4: of a player and I can't make any sleeping conclusions. 1200 00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:46,640 Speaker 2: No, I mean, but we're also we're like, we're finally 1201 00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:48,680 Speaker 2: seeing the rookies, I think, really starting to settle in 1202 00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:50,719 Speaker 2: halfway through the season because bo Nicks and the Broncos 1203 00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:53,200 Speaker 2: finally looking good. Last week, he had his best career game, 1204 00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:56,960 Speaker 2: career highs in completion percentage, passing yards, passing, touchdowns, passer rating, 1205 00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:01,200 Speaker 2: and Broncos are they could be sneaky good, like they're 1206 00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:03,759 Speaker 2: five and three, like not many people are talking about it. 1207 00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,440 Speaker 2: Second in the AFC West, Chiefs are definitely probably going 1208 00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:07,320 Speaker 2: to win the division. 1209 00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:08,840 Speaker 3: We've been talking I've been talking about the. 1210 00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:13,239 Speaker 1: Broncos season solid for a wildcard spot and well, like 1211 00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:17,359 Speaker 1: Bonix has Bonix has looked the same this entire season. Well, 1212 00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:21,120 Speaker 1: Sean Payton like he's been raving about Bonick since he 1213 00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:22,879 Speaker 1: got his guy saying and he feels like you would 1214 00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:27,000 Speaker 1: settle in by Thanksgiving. And so we're like we're approaching, 1215 00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:29,440 Speaker 1: but we're approaching that moment in that time. 1216 00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:32,200 Speaker 4: Bonix is the only other quarterback other than Josh Allen 1217 00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,759 Speaker 4: that has multiple passing touchdowns in multiple games and a 1218 00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:38,640 Speaker 4: rushing touchdown in those games. Bonix is the exact same person, 1219 00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:40,919 Speaker 4: has been the exact same person all year. Yeah, which 1220 00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:43,880 Speaker 4: is to say he's been very serviceable. He's done everything 1221 00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,799 Speaker 4: he's been asked to do. The floor with Bonis is 1222 00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:51,680 Speaker 4: very high. The question still is how high is the ceiling, 1223 00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,799 Speaker 4: because let's not forget this last game. Yes, there was 1224 00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:56,640 Speaker 4: a little bit of an uptake in his stats. Yeah, 1225 00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,480 Speaker 4: but it was against the Carolina Panthers. Yeah, so you're 1226 00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:02,080 Speaker 4: going to get a from that. I Bicks has been 1227 00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:03,000 Speaker 4: has been good. 1228 00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:05,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, but you also see like a Rogers like lose 1229 00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:07,760 Speaker 1: to the Patriots. So it's like it's like the Panthers. 1230 00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:11,439 Speaker 4: The Patriots are different, like the Panthers are Unfortunately very 1231 00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:14,800 Speaker 4: I'm very wary of any performances against the Carolina Panthers 1232 00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:18,080 Speaker 4: because of the fact that we've seen fools gold across 1233 00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:20,359 Speaker 4: the board. But my point is bon Nicks has been 1234 00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:24,359 Speaker 4: good all season. He's been very, very, very steady. He's 1235 00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:28,120 Speaker 4: been very solid. He's done again exactly enough to get 1236 00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:31,120 Speaker 4: the Broncos some wins because of the fact that they 1237 00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:33,799 Speaker 4: have an extraordinarily good defense, and this is one of 1238 00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:39,160 Speaker 4: the defense it might be the best defense in football 1239 00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:43,720 Speaker 4: right now, especially with that defensive line. So that coupled 1240 00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:46,680 Speaker 4: with the fact that Bonix just has to be good 1241 00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:51,160 Speaker 4: and he has been, so I I am all aboard 1242 00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:55,240 Speaker 4: the Broncos making a surprise wild card push, especially because 1243 00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,040 Speaker 4: like there's just a lot more parroting in the AFC 1244 00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:58,600 Speaker 4: than I think we thought there was going to be. 1245 00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:02,400 Speaker 4: But Denver does Baltimore this week, so that's going to 1246 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,919 Speaker 4: be a big kind of test how much how much 1247 00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:08,839 Speaker 4: lower does the floor get for Bonix against a team 1248 00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:12,239 Speaker 4: like this. But again, he doesn't need to do much. 1249 00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:14,040 Speaker 4: He hasn't needed to do much. He's done exactly what 1250 00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:15,719 Speaker 4: now does They've asked you need to do it? And 1251 00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:18,640 Speaker 4: we're in an age where we've seen sometimes it just 1252 00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:20,280 Speaker 4: takes a couple of years to really see what these 1253 00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:21,160 Speaker 4: guys are capable of. 1254 00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:23,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there's a reason, like he's having coms 1255 00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:25,040 Speaker 2: to Drew Brees. This is a style that Sean Payton 1256 00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:27,960 Speaker 2: likes and knows how to work with, and it's his 1257 00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:30,200 Speaker 2: guy and for him, it has to work and it's 1258 00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:33,360 Speaker 2: feeling like it's trending in the right direction. We're going 1259 00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:35,120 Speaker 2: to take a quick break here, but when we come back, 1260 00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:39,760 Speaker 2: the Cowboys are making the wrong headlines once again.

And there they're lists 1310 00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:46,720 Speaker 2: included Mahomes, Josh Allen Lamar, Jalen Hurts, Jane Daniels, Jared Goff, 1311 00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:48,520 Speaker 2: Matthew Safford, and Sam Darnold. 1312 00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,880 Speaker 1: Now I'm just gonna say, I think this is a 1313 00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:55,360 Speaker 1: big deal because this is your guy, and you need 1314 00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:59,280 Speaker 1: to have a rider diamontality for your teammate if you 1315 00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:01,840 Speaker 1: want to. We see it all the time, like you 1316 01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:05,760 Speaker 1: always throw your quarterback's name in there. Whatever, these conversations 1317 01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:08,280 Speaker 1: and these lists come out, even if he's your last one, 1318 01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:09,280 Speaker 1: you can't even say off the. 1319 01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,480 Speaker 2: Top, well you know obviously, like he's my guy, like 1320 01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,360 Speaker 2: back in there like that, this is who we're playing 1321 01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:15,000 Speaker 2: with right now. 1322 01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:17,439 Speaker 1: Like it's just no matter what you say, we are. 1323 01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:20,680 Speaker 2: All humans and you're gonna take something like that personally, 1324 01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:26,800 Speaker 2: Like we all need recognitions and reminders and when your teammates. 1325 01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:29,080 Speaker 1: With someone, you have to hype up your people. You 1326 01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:30,360 Speaker 1: have to hype up your people. 1327 01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:32,520 Speaker 3: I actually don't have a problem with it. 1328 01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:34,520 Speaker 4: I think it's I think it's great that like these 1329 01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:36,800 Speaker 4: guys are actually being because so much of what player 1330 01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:39,680 Speaker 4: led media is it's only showing like one side of 1331 01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:42,480 Speaker 4: the story, and you're only getting one perspective, and you're 1332 01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:44,880 Speaker 4: not really getting that objective kind of analysis. 1333 01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:46,520 Speaker 1: There's no way, and so it becomes a good thing 1334 01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:47,240 Speaker 1: in the locker room. 1335 01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:49,240 Speaker 4: Like, I just I don't think it's that big of 1336 01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:52,280 Speaker 4: a deal because quite frankly too, they're right, Dak Prescott 1337 01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:54,560 Speaker 4: is not playing like a top ten quarterback right now. 1338 01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:56,600 Speaker 4: His completion rate is over three percent less than his 1339 01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:59,480 Speaker 4: career average, his yards per attempt is down, and like 1340 01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:02,000 Speaker 4: it's not all his fault either. I mean he's got 1341 01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,880 Speaker 4: two rookies on the offensive line. His average time to 1342 01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:08,240 Speaker 4: pressure just two point five two seconds, which does rank 1343 01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:10,640 Speaker 4: fifteenth in the league. But like that's not good. And 1344 01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:13,840 Speaker 4: the Cowboys have allowed the tenth most pressures of their offense. 1345 01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:15,840 Speaker 4: Their offensive line has allowed the tenth most pressures of 1346 01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:19,000 Speaker 4: any unit. Dak has one person to throw to and 1347 01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:22,360 Speaker 4: that Ceedee Lamb, and defenses know that he's got a 1348 01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:24,720 Speaker 4: thirty percent, like around a thirty percent target share. Again, 1349 01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:27,240 Speaker 4: he has over thirty percent of the Cowboys receiving yards. 1350 01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:29,480 Speaker 4: Like it is not a secret what the Dallas Cowboys 1351 01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:33,400 Speaker 4: can do. And they it's being taken away because defenses 1352 01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:37,720 Speaker 4: know that. So Dak's stats, I mean, you're gonna get laughed. 1353 01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:38,320 Speaker 3: Off the screen. 1354 01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:40,520 Speaker 4: If what you're doing is making content and you're in 1355 01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:43,760 Speaker 4: analyzing things and you're talking about the top ten quarterbacks, 1356 01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:46,240 Speaker 4: you can't in good faith say that about your dude. 1357 01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:48,920 Speaker 2: You need to say something off the top, like Dak's 1358 01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:50,880 Speaker 2: my boy, Like you need to mention it so it 1359 01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:52,960 Speaker 2: doesn't become a headline like okay, but you. 1360 01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:55,160 Speaker 4: Also have to consider that, like these guys talk about 1361 01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:57,600 Speaker 4: Dak all the time, and they have given him they 1362 01:01:57,640 --> 01:01:59,360 Speaker 4: have they've said all of the things that I just 1363 01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:01,520 Speaker 4: said about him him, They talk about him and they talk. 1364 01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:03,840 Speaker 3: Him up all the time. He doesn't need to keep 1365 01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:05,160 Speaker 3: hammering at home. It's your guy. 1366 01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:07,520 Speaker 1: They talk enough about Dak Prescott if they mentioned him 1367 01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:09,600 Speaker 1: off the top this this was not going to be 1368 01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:10,720 Speaker 1: a headline talked on. 1369 01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:12,760 Speaker 4: I think it would have been anyway because it's the 1370 01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:15,320 Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys and like everything's going to be taken in 1371 01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:17,200 Speaker 4: a vacuum and out of context and all that. 1372 01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:18,440 Speaker 3: Like again, you just. 1373 01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:20,120 Speaker 2: Have to hype up your people, Like this could have 1374 01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:22,880 Speaker 2: been so easily avoided. But in this conversation when you're 1375 01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:25,560 Speaker 2: talking about like a top list, like you got to 1376 01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:27,560 Speaker 2: mention your guy, You got to mention your guy. 1377 01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,720 Speaker 3: He's not though he's not this year and it's only 1378 01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:31,080 Speaker 3: this year. 1379 01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:33,160 Speaker 4: Like I think if you're talking like whatever, they're gonna 1380 01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:35,800 Speaker 4: they're gonna obviously include that. But like again, if you 1381 01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:38,160 Speaker 4: listen to their podcast, if you listen to Mike's podcast, 1382 01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:41,280 Speaker 4: he routinely talks very highly about. 1383 01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:46,200 Speaker 2: It, you'd have known, like, DA's my guy. Sorry, I 1384 01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:49,200 Speaker 2: think it's important. I think something you gotta do.

There's 1476 01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:48,160 Speaker 11: an appropriate chip on their shoulder and oh yeah, on 1477 01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:50,000 Speaker 11: the gridiron, they're going to beat the crap out of 1478 01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:50,320 Speaker 11: you too. 1479 01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:55,040 Speaker 4: They're such a fun team. They're so easy to root for. 1480 01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:57,800 Speaker 4: You see Dan Campbell, his wife posted a picture of 1481 01:06:57,800 --> 01:06:59,560 Speaker 4: them on date night and he's got his hair Hold 1482 01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:00,920 Speaker 4: Charity button. 1483 01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:01,320 Speaker 3: Up shirt on. 1484 01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:05,240 Speaker 4: It's so unbelievably pure for such a for a man 1485 01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:09,120 Speaker 4: that is just so aggressive in every other aspect. 1486 01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:12,600 Speaker 11: For decades now, Like Holly knows what this life is about. 1487 01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:16,040 Speaker 3: Did she hashtag FTP? 1488 01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:17,240 Speaker 8: Yeah? 1489 01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:19,920 Speaker 4: All right, for those that know, you know, it's F 1490 01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:21,680 Speaker 4: the Packers. That's what it stands for. 1491 01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:24,640 Speaker 3: What a gem. 1492 01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:26,959 Speaker 4: But I want to also talk about Ben Johnson because 1493 01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:29,440 Speaker 4: this man is just playing with his food at this point, 1494 01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:32,080 Speaker 4: and he just seems I've been joking on online, like 1495 01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:35,200 Speaker 4: he has a blood feud with every opponent that they play, 1496 01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:38,480 Speaker 4: and he just seems like he wants to embarrass people. 1497 01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:42,680 Speaker 4: I think it's hysterical where he like isolates something about 1498 01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:44,560 Speaker 4: another team and says, now, we could do that better 1499 01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:44,840 Speaker 4: than you. 1500 01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:49,440 Speaker 11: Like I visualize it. It's like you know that screenshot 1501 01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:52,240 Speaker 11: from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia where the guys like 1502 01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:56,600 Speaker 11: manically pointing at the walls, are some crazy streaks all 1503 01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:58,960 Speaker 11: over it. Like I have to imagine at least one 1504 01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:01,800 Speaker 11: night a week that's the john hooking up the craziest 1505 01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:03,439 Speaker 11: play you've seen, like. 1506 01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:06,320 Speaker 4: Just the Cowboys game where you know it was the 1507 01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:10,560 Speaker 4: infamous reporting eligible with the lineman debacle last year, and 1508 01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:12,520 Speaker 4: then he goes in there and like every trick play 1509 01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:14,840 Speaker 4: is a way to get an offensive lineman to score. 1510 01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:18,720 Speaker 4: It's just chef's kiss and him and Jared Goff have 1511 01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:22,360 Speaker 4: had just the most incredible relationship. Jared Goff has had 1512 01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:26,240 Speaker 4: the most incredible resurgence. And what's really impressive to me 1513 01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:30,559 Speaker 4: about Jared is that his processing power has gotten so 1514 01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:32,519 Speaker 4: much better. It's comes such a long way from when 1515 01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:33,840 Speaker 4: he was first in the league, when he was first 1516 01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:38,080 Speaker 4: with the Rams. He is like effortlessly diagnosing things, and 1517 01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:40,600 Speaker 4: him and Ben Jonson have just worked together so beautifully 1518 01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:42,479 Speaker 4: to the point where Jared Goff is now as an 1519 01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:45,519 Speaker 4: MVP case. So Rachel make the MVP case for Jared Goff. 1520 01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:48,760 Speaker 11: For me, it's true with that Carmen is exactly what 1521 01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:52,479 Speaker 11: I tell people with what's improved specifically with Jared, not 1522 01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:55,200 Speaker 11: just what's around him between last year and this year. 1523 01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:59,200 Speaker 11: It's that processing power, It's that confidence, that millisecond more 1524 01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:02,280 Speaker 11: speed reading the options from the pocket. I mean, he 1525 01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:05,559 Speaker 11: led the league at eighty percent completion rate at one 1526 01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:07,960 Speaker 11: hundred and forty nine point zero passer rating this month 1527 01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:10,960 Speaker 11: to be the NFC's offensive Player of the Month. And 1528 01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:13,760 Speaker 11: it doesn't just have to be the month. Multiple weeks 1529 01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:15,720 Speaker 11: in a row, we're sitting in the press box being like, oh, 1530 01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:19,000 Speaker 11: is this going to be another casually perfect game from 1531 01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:22,679 Speaker 11: the pocket like it's effortless. And yes, I'm not going 1532 01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:25,720 Speaker 11: to lie and say that this happens without all of 1533 01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:27,840 Speaker 11: the tools around him on both sides of the ball. 1534 01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:32,320 Speaker 11: But Bach has incrementally, season after season, come a long 1535 01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:34,920 Speaker 11: way from what he looked like at Cal to a 1536 01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:38,759 Speaker 11: much stronger quarterback. That it's not like he's Lamar Jackson 1537 01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:41,080 Speaker 11: running out there, or it's not like he's Malik Willis, 1538 01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:45,320 Speaker 11: which we might see tomorrow, but he's quick at heck mentally. 1539 01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:48,120 Speaker 2: So with all the good that the Lions have done 1540 01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:51,040 Speaker 2: this season, coaching players, everything, they also took a big 1541 01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:54,080 Speaker 2: hit losing Aiden Hutchinson. Is there any talk about making 1542 01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:56,559 Speaker 2: a move to kind of bolster the defense before the 1543 01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:57,799 Speaker 2: trade deadline next Tuesday. 1544 01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:01,120 Speaker 11: There's definitely discussion. I wouldn't be a half. We're talking 1545 01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:04,439 Speaker 11: about something, but they're not willing to sell any part 1546 01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:07,439 Speaker 11: of what's keeping this game going right now, so Brad 1547 01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:09,920 Speaker 11: Holmes is gonna have to get creative with it. They 1548 01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:11,760 Speaker 11: would love to bring someone in, but they also do 1549 01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:14,760 Speaker 11: rely on guys like Josh Pastell to set the edge. 1550 01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:17,160 Speaker 11: Now he's out this Sunday as well, and that's a 1551 01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:20,040 Speaker 11: big loss too. Nobody can be Hut. He was on 1552 01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:22,200 Speaker 11: track for Defensive Player of the Year. And I'm not 1553 01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:25,440 Speaker 11: even trying to blow smoke up that, but the reality 1554 01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:27,480 Speaker 11: is that they're definitely looking. 1555 01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:29,599 Speaker 4: Yeah, And I mean you saw Dan Campbell get giddy 1556 01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:31,519 Speaker 4: at the podium when he was asked about it earlier 1557 01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:34,840 Speaker 4: this week. But I am with you though that, like, 1558 01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:36,720 Speaker 4: not only do you not want to give up any 1559 01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:39,240 Speaker 4: of the pieces you have in a trade, but you 1560 01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:41,800 Speaker 4: don't really want to give up any future draft capital either. 1561 01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:45,840 Speaker 4: Given Brad holmes hit rate in the draft, It's something 1562 01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:48,639 Speaker 4: like we're not talking enough about it over the last 1563 01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:52,160 Speaker 4: few years, just how well this team has drafted and 1564 01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:55,720 Speaker 4: how immediately they've seen the impact from these players. So 1565 01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:58,519 Speaker 4: as much as I want to talk about what an 1566 01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:00,760 Speaker 4: incredible thing it would be for the Lions to get 1567 01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:03,960 Speaker 4: someone like I don't know, Max Crosby, like, there's just 1568 01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:06,120 Speaker 4: no way that they end up giving up something that 1569 01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:08,120 Speaker 4: like what it would take to get a player like that. 1570 01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:12,280 Speaker 11: No, a majority of these starters have come from Brad 1571 01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:15,479 Speaker 11: Holmes just hitting darts on the board. It's like Brad 1572 01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:18,000 Speaker 11: Holmes is doing in the regular draft what Bill Belichick 1573 01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:20,800 Speaker 11: used to do with lacrosse players. Is just expanding on 1574 01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:23,120 Speaker 11: it and turning it into I can make a weapon 1575 01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:25,479 Speaker 11: out of everybody. And I'm looking at this tape and 1576 01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:27,160 Speaker 11: I don't know if that's the Chris Fielman in the 1577 01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:30,920 Speaker 11: back of their pocket or what, but it absolutely incredible 1578 01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:33,000 Speaker 11: to see. You know, you want to talk about development 1579 01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:34,679 Speaker 11: around the league, this place knows how. 1580 01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:36,760 Speaker 3: To do it. That's that New England and you girl, 1581 01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:37,200 Speaker 3: I hear it. 1582 01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:41,200 Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about that big division game tomorrow, the 1583 01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:44,160 Speaker 2: game of the week. What are your expectations for this 1584 01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:45,519 Speaker 2: Lions Packers matchup. 1585 01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:49,479 Speaker 11: It's gonna be a brawl, truly, and I think until 1586 01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:51,960 Speaker 11: the bock runs out, we still don't know what we're 1587 01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:55,360 Speaker 11: going to see for the Packers leading man, and that 1588 01:11:55,439 --> 01:11:59,600 Speaker 11: shouldn't change that much. Yes, Malik is a lot speedier 1589 01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:03,360 Speaker 11: and has had incredible success and limited opportunities, but the 1590 01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:06,599 Speaker 11: line's defense so far has been consistent to show up 1591 01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:09,599 Speaker 11: whenever they are called on, even if it's the first 1592 01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:11,960 Speaker 11: turnover of the game. And you have your work cut 1593 01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:14,800 Speaker 11: out for you because the Packers know how to win 1594 01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:17,080 Speaker 11: that takeaway game as well, so you're going to have 1595 01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:19,400 Speaker 11: to beat them at that angle as well. You've got 1596 01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:21,639 Speaker 11: to protect the pocket for golf, because as we saw 1597 01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:24,120 Speaker 11: even against the Titans last week, that game started off 1598 01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:26,360 Speaker 11: a little rough because they weren't able to reach Jared 1599 01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:28,920 Speaker 11: quite a few times. But I've been consistent with my 1600 01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:31,160 Speaker 11: score predictions all week, so I can't bult on that. 1601 01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:34,840 Speaker 11: Now I'm visiting thirty one to twenty one line. 1602 01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:38,280 Speaker 3: Okay, Wow, that big of a difference. Huh. 1603 01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:41,800 Speaker 11: It just can add up really quickly. That's like people 1604 01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:44,280 Speaker 11: want to talk about the Vikings, and Dan Campbell characterized 1605 01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:45,960 Speaker 11: it too. Going into Minnesota, you don't want to get 1606 01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:48,799 Speaker 11: down one score too quickly, but you've got Jake Bates 1607 01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:50,800 Speaker 11: in the pocket to throw an extra one on there. 1608 01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:54,000 Speaker 11: Anything can happen. And I think you just missed one 1609 01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:55,920 Speaker 11: drive and this team will make you regret it. 1610 01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:58,240 Speaker 4: I'm very interested to see how aggressive they are given 1611 01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:00,559 Speaker 4: the fact that you know, guys like Xavier and even 1612 01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:03,160 Speaker 4: Evan Williams for the Packers have just been take like 1613 01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:05,840 Speaker 4: takeaway machines, and they can make you pay for it 1614 01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:09,600 Speaker 4: so incredibly quickly. And not to mention this offense in 1615 01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:12,120 Speaker 4: Green Bay, it's really hard to contend with given the 1616 01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:14,640 Speaker 4: receiving options that they have. So I feel like the 1617 01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:17,479 Speaker 4: Lion's secondary is going to be what stressed the most 1618 01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:18,320 Speaker 4: in this game. 1619 01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:20,160 Speaker 3: How is the health of all of those guys. 1620 01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:23,519 Speaker 4: And we know Brian branch And and Kirby Joseph two 1621 01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:25,320 Speaker 4: of the highest grand safeties in the league. But I'm 1622 01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:26,839 Speaker 4: a little worried about those outside corners. 1623 01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:29,559 Speaker 11: Yeah, and there is those are going to be the 1624 01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:31,880 Speaker 11: matchup you want to look for anytime I see Green 1625 01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:33,559 Speaker 11: Bay on the schedule. I was here for two years. 1626 01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:35,640 Speaker 11: You always want to look up Whojah is going to 1627 01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:38,320 Speaker 11: go deep against. And same on this then too, because 1628 01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:42,240 Speaker 11: with this core and this dB room, anybody eats. Just 1629 01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:45,439 Speaker 11: last week it's a Meek Robertson with two Morton fumbles. 1630 01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:47,840 Speaker 11: They're looking for the punch out. They're ballhawks in there, 1631 01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:49,920 Speaker 11: so I'm not worried about the depth and their ability 1632 01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:53,479 Speaker 11: to step up there. They did end up signing another 1633 01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:56,920 Speaker 11: defensive lineman to the squad because with Mecky Wingo and 1634 01:13:56,960 --> 01:13:59,919 Speaker 11: some of those guys, now it's it's going to get interesting. 1635 01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:03,679 Speaker 4: My guy Pat O'Connor, my guy Pad O'Connor has been active. 1636 01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:04,919 Speaker 3: We love him exactly. 1637 01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:08,200 Speaker 2: Rachel, thank you so much for joining us.

You got our list right? 1655 01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:57,880 Speaker 9: Yes, no, I have your I have your picks here 1656 01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:00,360 Speaker 9: you We are starting here with the Miami Dolph at 1657 01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:03,200 Speaker 9: the Buffalo Bills, where the Bills are a six and 1658 01:15:03,240 --> 01:15:04,400 Speaker 9: a half point favorite at home. 1659 01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:09,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, in Josh Allen, we trust the Bills 1660 01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:12,639 Speaker 2: have owned the Dolphins with Josh as a starter again, 1661 01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:16,880 Speaker 2: heince Miami. He is twelve and two so there's gonna 1662 01:15:16,880 --> 01:15:18,960 Speaker 2: be I think also a little bit of I don't 1663 01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:20,960 Speaker 2: know it, do be anxiety or tension around this game 1664 01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:22,680 Speaker 2: because Game two versus the Bills is went Tua went 1665 01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:25,400 Speaker 2: down with his concussion to like start the season. 1666 01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:28,240 Speaker 1: But division games are always big. I think the Bills 1667 01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:29,040 Speaker 1: take this one easy. 1668 01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:30,479 Speaker 4: I think the biggest thing here is that it's at 1669 01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:32,880 Speaker 4: home for the Bills, and they're just they're really good 1670 01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:36,519 Speaker 4: at home. And I don't necessarily I like the Dolphins 1671 01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:38,759 Speaker 4: offense has to get going. You've got to get Tyreek 1672 01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:41,439 Speaker 4: Hill like in space to let him do his thing. 1673 01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:43,800 Speaker 4: It needs to be explosive, because it wasn't with two 1674 01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:45,519 Speaker 4: hour h But I'm still taking the Bills. 1675 01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:48,439 Speaker 9: Yeah, all right. Next up, the Dallas Cowboys head down 1676 01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:51,280 Speaker 9: to Atlanta to take on the Falcons. Falcons a three 1677 01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:53,600 Speaker 9: and a half point favorite at home here over the Cowboys. 1678 01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:55,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, and they should be more than that. The vibes 1679 01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:58,120 Speaker 4: are so bad in Dallas. They cannot run the football, 1680 01:15:58,200 --> 01:15:59,360 Speaker 4: nor can they defend the run. 1681 01:15:59,400 --> 01:15:59,920 Speaker 3: For that matter. 1682 01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:02,120 Speaker 4: They're going to be going against one be John Robinson. 1683 01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:06,320 Speaker 4: So I'm taking the Falcons pretty handily here, especially with 1684 01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:12,280 Speaker 4: seek Elliott, Like what are we doing derond Blan is 1685 01:16:12,320 --> 01:16:13,120 Speaker 4: not playing because they were. 1686 01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:16,720 Speaker 6: Right. 1687 01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:18,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he's not even on the trip. 1688 01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:23,880 Speaker 2: But Jane Slater NFL Networks, Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott 1689 01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:27,040 Speaker 2: won't be making the trip to Atlanta for disciplinary reasons 1690 01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:33,040 Speaker 2: and will be inactive Sunday Falcons what hands down, I 1691 01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:35,960 Speaker 2: am also taking the Falcons. I do not trust the 1692 01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:39,160 Speaker 2: Cowboys at all. It has been just a hot mess 1693 01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:41,519 Speaker 2: for all like non football reasons, Like it's all been 1694 01:16:41,560 --> 01:16:43,559 Speaker 2: outside of their actual play on the field. 1695 01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:45,680 Speaker 3: I mean they're playing on the field also hasn't been good. 1696 01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:50,360 Speaker 4: True, but likeies, they don't have enough offensive weapons for deck, 1697 01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:51,400 Speaker 4: they don't have a run game. 1698 01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:52,599 Speaker 1: It's it's not gonna happen. 1699 01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:56,160 Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins take it that he's been doing thriving in Atlanta. 1700 01:16:56,200 --> 01:17:00,720 Speaker 2: I think he takes advantage of a struggling Dallas team. 1701 01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:02,160 Speaker 1: Yeah what you're saying. 1702 01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:04,439 Speaker 3: Kirko bangs. 1703 01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:09,000 Speaker 4: It started in Minnesota and it's just grown in Atlanta, 1704 01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:09,519 Speaker 4: all right? 1705 01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:10,840 Speaker 3: That swag surf song. 1706 01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:13,960 Speaker 9: Next up, the Denver Broncos head to Baltimore take on 1707 01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:17,600 Speaker 9: the Ravens. The Baltimore a heavy nine point favorite in 1708 01:17:17,640 --> 01:17:17,960 Speaker 9: this one. 1709 01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:19,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a big favorite. 1710 01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:23,960 Speaker 2: As we said earlier, I think Broncos are like a 1711 01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:31,840 Speaker 2: sneaky good team, but they're also playing like a very 1712 01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:34,560 Speaker 2: well rounded Ravens team. I'm gonna roll with Lamar and 1713 01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:37,240 Speaker 2: the Ravens. They're coming off a tough loss to the Browns, 1714 01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:40,719 Speaker 2: so I think Ravens and Lamar bounce back and take 1715 01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:41,960 Speaker 2: this one against Denver. 1716 01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:44,400 Speaker 4: If if we were picking against the spread, I would 1717 01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:46,800 Speaker 4: actually take the Broncos. I think this is gonna be 1718 01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:48,960 Speaker 4: a really tough game because I think that the Broncos. 1719 01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:52,160 Speaker 4: Broncos match up well with what the Ravens do, which 1720 01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:55,960 Speaker 4: is run the football. That defensive line is something to 1721 01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:58,800 Speaker 4: be scared about. But this is in Baltimore, and it's 1722 01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:01,840 Speaker 4: like Altimore has two division games coming up after this, 1723 01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:05,680 Speaker 4: so I think that they are they know that they 1724 01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:07,280 Speaker 4: have to take this one. So I'm gonna go with 1725 01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:09,400 Speaker 4: the Ravens as well. But I do think it's going 1726 01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:10,120 Speaker 4: to be really close. 1727 01:18:10,200 --> 01:18:13,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely think it's closer than like how big 1728 01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:14,360 Speaker 2: this spread is. 1729 01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:18,680 Speaker 9: All right, NFC North Showdown, the Detroit Lions head to 1730 01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:22,200 Speaker 9: Green Bay and Lambeaufield take on the Packers. The Lions, however, 1731 01:18:22,439 --> 01:18:24,960 Speaker 9: the favorite in this one a three point road favorite 1732 01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:25,519 Speaker 9: for Detroit. 1733 01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:27,880 Speaker 4: I know, I hate that I have to pick this 1734 01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:29,400 Speaker 4: game because I really don't know. I think it comes 1735 01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:31,479 Speaker 4: down to like literally a coin toss like it did 1736 01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:34,320 Speaker 4: with you know, between the Minnesota Vikings and the Detroit Lions. 1737 01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:36,000 Speaker 4: This is gonna be a dogfight, like we talked to 1738 01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:40,760 Speaker 4: Rachel about, I. 1739 01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:42,360 Speaker 3: Am gonna go with the Lions. But again, if we 1740 01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:42,880 Speaker 3: were picking a. 1741 01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:45,720 Speaker 4: Guest to spread, yeah, I'm taking it like this.

I know he's trending towards playing. 1751 01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:07,600 Speaker 4: They haven't made those okay, haven't made the announcement that 1752 01:19:07,600 --> 01:19:09,000 Speaker 4: he's definitely starting, but it looks like. 1753 01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:11,519 Speaker 2: He's going like he's going to I'm also going to 1754 01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:12,640 Speaker 2: take the Lions. 1755 01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:15,800 Speaker 3: Either, So also that's the biggest thing. 1756 01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:17,280 Speaker 1: Not great news, all. 1757 01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:19,920 Speaker 9: Right, last one here, the Bucks take on the Chiefs 1758 01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:22,160 Speaker 9: and Kansas City the Chiefs again a nine point favorite. 1759 01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:24,320 Speaker 9: I need you guys to pick separate teams because you 1760 01:19:24,360 --> 01:19:25,280 Speaker 9: guys are going chuck. 1761 01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:27,800 Speaker 1: Are we serious?
