1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 2: We spent weeks yelling and screaming about whether or not

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 2: it would be Dion, what superstar would come out of

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 2: nowhere and suddenly become the Dallas Cowboys head coach. And

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 2: if you were listening to smart people, smart people, over

6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 2: and over and over again, we're telling you it wasn't

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: gonna be Belichick. It wasn't going to be Dion. It

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 2: wasn't going to be a big name, It wasn't going

9
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 2: to be something wild, it wasn't going to be something random.

10
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 2: It would be a coach that Jerry Jones was comfortable with.

11
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 2: And what happened yesterday, late last night, the Cowboys hire

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: Brian Schottenheimer as a first time head coach to take

13
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 2: over the biggest brand in all of sports. So Cowboys fans,

14
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:46,959
Speaker 2: you got to figure out how you feel and how

15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 2: you feel absolutely quickly, because your new coach is not

16
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: the splash so many people wanted. It's the fellas. Fox

Speaker 2: in just a second. Cowboys fans, let me start here,

23
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: because everybody wants to make a big, sweeping generalization after

24
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: a head coach is hired. We've got a lot of

25
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 2: head coaching hires to get into. Everybody wants to sit

26
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: here and say, this guy's abummed, this higher stinks. I've

27
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 2: done the research. I've gone back and looked multiple times.

28
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: If you look over the course of the years, the

29
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 2: amount of times that ESPN, CBS, Fox, we all just

30
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 2: sit back and we rank the head coaching hires afterwards,

31
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 2: the amount of times we get it drastically wrong is

32
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: pretty stunning because the reality of it is, trying to

33
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: find your coach is a lot like trying to find

34
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 2: your quarterback to roll of the dice. Sometimes you're gonna

35
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: get it right. Sometimes you're not gonna get it right,

36
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: and you're gonna have to go back to the well

37
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,559
Speaker 2: over and over and over until you do that. Being said,

38
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 2: there's one organization that doesn't get a lot of credit

39
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: for being patient, said Dallas Cowboys. Cowboys and are still

40
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: judged by who Jerry was in the nineties. I think

41
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: we all deserve a little bit of credit. My hair

42
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: is different than it was in the nineties, thank god.

43
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 2: My personality is different than it was in the nineties.

44
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: Thank God. Maybe I shouldn't be judged by who I

45
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: was in the nineties, I hope, because man, I'm a

46
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 2: much different individual now. Jerry Jones is also a much

47
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 2: different individual today than he was in the nineties. So

48
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: we got to stop asking ourselves who is Jerry ben

49
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: And the old adage action speaks louder than words. For

50
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: just a moment, I think we should all maybe press

51
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: pause on everything Jerry says and instead just look at

52
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: the actions of Jerry Jones. Who is Jerry? What is

53
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: he like? Out of a coach? Well, we know a

54
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 2: couple of things. We know Jerry is actually wildly patient.

55
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: He lets coaches play out their contract more often than not.

56
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: He's gonna let this thing run the gambit. That's what

57
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: he does. Okay. He's also a coach that loves familiar

58
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: an owner that loves familiarity. He wants to bring in

59
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: coaches that he understands. He knows how they tick, he

60
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: knows what what makes them go. He wants to have

61
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: some level of understanding of who that individual is, and

62
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 2: when they're in the room, he wants to build a

63
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: bond with them. He did that with Jason Garrett, and

64
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: I hear all the people saying, oh, this could just

65
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 2: turn out to me Jason Garrett two point Oh, Brian Schottenheimer,

66
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: we don't know anything. Well, what Jerry knows is being

67
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: in the building with him. He thinks he's got it.

68
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: And it is one of those weird things to try

69
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: and defind. Right, if we're being honest for a second,

70
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 2: what does it mean, y'all? No, I came from a

71
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: music background. You used to frustrate me so much in

72
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: the music business when somebody would say, well, that guy's

73
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: got it, and I'm like, okay, but they can't sing.

74
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter. They've got it. There's something about him. Happens

75
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: all the time, happens in every business, every company. There

76
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: are certain people that rise fast because they've got it.

77
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: Jerry is buying that Schottenheimer has it any better. Because

78
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: if we're being honest, if we want to look back now,

79
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: if it's okay now to look at Mike McCarthy through

80
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: maybe a more clear Lens. I will remind you that

81
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy as we sit right now, has about the

82
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: same winning percentage that Andy Reid did when he left

83
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Eagles, a decision that now we look back

84
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: away say, huh, I mean sure worked out for both sides,

85
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: I guess, but Eagles did let a great coach go, right,

86
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: I mean it is possible that the Cowboys let a

87
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: great coach go. I know nobody wants to call him

88
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: great because he only has one super Bowl, which is

89
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: the most belittling thing that we do to coach eyes

90
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: only he only won one with Aaron Rodgers. Okay, well,

91
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 2: how many did Aaron Rodgers win with anybody else? Part

92
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 2: of this is so maddening because we want a media

93
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 2: see as fans and this is the hardest part. And

94
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: I deal with this all the time as a Raiders fan. Right,

95
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: y'all know, my favorite team stinks, So my favorite team

96
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 2: stinks more often than not. And every time a new

97
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 2: regime comes in the problem is fans aren't new. We've

98
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 2: lived through the sea a suck for a generation. So

99
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 2: we come in with this baggage great another coach. I

100
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: can already feel Cowboys fans so this guy's a bomb.

101
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: What's he gonna do to do more? Because the only

102
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 2: thing that seems to be an acceptable result is winning

103
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. I know that's what we all want.

104
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 2: That's all what we all expect to some weird level.

105
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: So we turn around and immediately, if you're a Cowboys fan,

106
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: you immediately will well, I've already gone through this and

107
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: this and this. I've lived through Jerry doing this and

108
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 2: this and this. None of that matters Brian Schottenheimer in

109
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: this regime. The answer when you hire a coach is

110
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: man who knows. But the reality of it is you

111
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: have to allow each of those coaches to have a

112
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: completely fresh start. Think about that. As a Raiders fan,

113
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: I saw the news yesterday. I reacted to the news

114
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 2: yesterday Pete Carroll was hired as the new head coach

115
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 2: of my beloved Raiders, and I hear all these people saying, ah,

116
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: but he's so old. I will remind you gently that

117
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: the last two people we elected to sit in the

118
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 2: Oval office and run the free world or older than

119
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll. I think if you can run the entire

120
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: free world at that age, you can probably run a

121
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: football team, all right. So the age portion of it.

122
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,799
Speaker 2: Are we gonna do in six years? Who cares?

123
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 3: Figure it out?

124
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 2: Six years? What are you gonna do in three years?

125
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: I don't know. Figure it out. The Raiders have had

126
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 2: fifteen coaches in the last thirty one years, so if

127
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: Beete Carroll makes it three years, that's better than average.

128
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: What are you doing? The problem is we bring decades

129
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 2: of fandom into every one of these hires, and the

130
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: reality of it is the people that are hired can't

131
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: carry that package. It's tough enough already to be a

132
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: first time head coaching for Brian Schottenheimer. It's tough enough

133
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: already to be a first time head coach for the

134
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys. You bring all of that together, right, and

135
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 2: then on top of that, you want him to be

136
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: sitting here holding the burden that you feel as a

137
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 2: fan that you haven't gotten to see it a Super

138
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: Bowl since whatever, the early nineties. That's not his problem.

139
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 2: If you're a Raiders fan, you're sitting here saying, oh,

140
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: you had another head coach and all of this turtle

141
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: turnover it's constant and we always are rebuilding. That's not

142
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 2: Beete Carroll's problem, right, All these guys can do when

143
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 2: they step into these head coaching roles is worry about

144
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,679
Speaker 2: right now, how to try and fix this thing, which

145
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: sometimes means fix is an interesting word for being honest,

146
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: step backs. Fix. What does fix mean for the Raiders?

147
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 2: It means just become competent. Just try and become a

148
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: competent football team. That's Pete Carroll's objective. They'll stand up

149
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: at the podium and talk about super Bowls, but you know,

150
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 2: when you are constantly a double digit lost team, you

151
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: ain't worried about the super Bowl. You're worried about how

152
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: you raise the floor. So Pete Carroll has to worry

153
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: about raising the floor of an organization. That's his job

154
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: as a head coach. Brian Schottenheimer, I think has an

155
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: even more difficult job. We talk about culture and what

156
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 2: that means for a team that raises the floor. How

157
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 2: do you teach somebody to win?

158
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 3: Okay?

159
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: What do you do when you step into a job

160
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: where winning twelve games three years in a row isn't enough?

161
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: So now your expectation isn't just raised the floor. Your

162
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 2: expectation is to just absolutely an iholate the ceiling. Your

163
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: expectation if you're the Dallas Cowboys head coach is absolutely

164
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: it's super Bowl or nothing. So what you have now

165
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: is a first time head coach stepping in that we

166
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 2: don't really know what kind of head coach he's going

167
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: to be stepping into the expectation, not like many teams

168
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: where hey, get us to the playoffs, man, get us

169
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 2: to the playoffs and we'll figure it out from there. Now,

170
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: Schottenheimer's only objective is going to be winning super Bowls,

171
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 2: and there's not a person in the damn free world

172
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 2: that knows if he could do that. Anthony Gargano, good morning,

173
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: my friend. Oh my philosophically, how.

174
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 3: Are you ya listening to fantastic? My apologies?

175
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 4: Man, this has been a whirlwind week here in the

176
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 4: NFC championship land.

177
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: I can't imagine. I can't imagine, Like, is there something

178
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 2: there's a game going on? I did there's a game

179
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: this weekend? Value for you?

180
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 3: Well, there is a game, Yes, it is a game.

181
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 2: What's that feeling?

182
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 4: It's been wild, man, all kinds of pepp rallies and

183
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 4: it's fun. There's there's a great energy across the city,

184
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 4: like these runs are are blasts.

185
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 3: People just they they love it. It's so much fun.

186
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 4: So everybody's excited and fired up and they can't wait

187
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 4: for it. It's it's, it's, it's good stuff. So do

188
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 4: you like Pete Carroll?

189
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 2: Look, I, as I said just before you connected, like

190
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 2: I keep hearing about his age, to which I remind

191
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 2: people that the last two people elected to run the

192
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 2: Free World or older than Pete Carroll. So like, if

193
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 2: you can run a point, you can probably run a

194
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 2: football team. I'm just that that's number one. Uh And

195
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 2: and if you don't believe that, then you might want

196
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 2: to think about how you vote next time. And in

197
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 2: that process, I would also say that Pete Carroll's job

198
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: is to figure out how to make an organization competent.

199
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 2: I believe the Raiders needed an adult in the room

200
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 2: that can come in and say, now, guys, this is

201
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 2: how you do it. Like this isn't Gruden coming in

202
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 2: and coming off of TV. This isn't Josh McDaniel's coming

203
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 2: in trying to tell the world he's changed. This isn't

204
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 2: an interim head coach coming in like this. This isn't

205
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 2: a first time guy. This is somebody that all he's

206
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: ever done is win, right, and maybe he didn't win

207
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: eighty seven Super Bowls, but my god, he won one

208
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 2: and had the chance to win two, and he won

209
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 2: a lot of games for Seattle. He's won more games

210
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 2: in his eighteen year NFL career than the Raiders did

211
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 2: during that same time span. So I just I think

212
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 2: you needed in an adult in a room that could

213
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 2: come in and say, hey, we're going to steady the

214
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 2: ship and we're going to raise the floor of the organization.

215
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: And if in three years he's done coaching, for four

216
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: years he's done coaching, they can worry about the succession plan.

217
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: But what I know is that whatever version of the

218
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 2: Raiders he walks away from will be better than the

219
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: Raiders are today because he was in it. So yeah,

220
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 2: I think it's a good hire for all of those reasons.

221
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: I just think sometimes organizations are so bad that it

222
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: makes it almost impossible for a young, first time head

223
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 2: coach to come in and have success. So I think

224
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 2: if the Raiders want that eventually, they needed somebody that

225
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 2: could come in and actually teach the organization how to

226
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: run a true football organization.

227
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, I I completely agree. I think I

228
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 4: think he's gonna do well. I think he's he's a

229
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 4: good choice. I mean, selflessly, I was rooting for Steve

230
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 4: Spagnolo and uh oh, so was I having no Spags.

231
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 3: You know, he's a.

232
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 4: Dear friend, and I just I don't understand what that

233
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 4: guy had. Why that guy just doesn't give a job.

234
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 4: And I love Pete Carroll and I think the same thing.

235
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 4: But Spags would be the adult in the room too,

236
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 4: I get it. Uh Pete has been a more successful

237
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 4: head coach and Spags has been a coordinator.

238
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 3: So I mean, I guess that's what it is.

239
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: I honestly think the high raing cycle is what screws Spags,

240
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: like honestly, because you know, you started to hear some

241
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 2: rumblings of you know, was Pete talking to the Cowboys?

242
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: All these I don't think we're true, but I think

243
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 2: you were getting pressure from Pete's camp to to say, hey,

244
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 2: we've got options. And so all these teams that are

245
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 2: looking at somebody that's coaching in the Super Bowl have

246
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 2: to understand that if they don't get their man, if

247
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 2: they can't sell their guy on coming, then all of

248
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 2: a sudden, you're so far behind the hiring cycle and

249
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 2: you don't have a backup plan. So I think teams

250
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 2: just get nervous, is they get towards you know, sure,

251
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 2: you wait a few more days and see if maybe

252
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 2: the Chiefs lose this weekend, and maybe you would have

253
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 2: had a faster level of access to them. But man,

254
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 2: if you got to wait all the way through the

255
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: super Bowl to make your head coaching higher, boy, that

256
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 2: would make me super nervous. That what if we talk

257
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: to Spags and it's just not a good fit. He

258
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 2: doesn't like us or we don't like him, and all

259
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 2: these things, like I think sometimes that is what That's

260
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: part of the reason that I truly believe the NFL

261
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 2: should pause the entire head coaching cycle of hiring until

262
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: after the Super Bowl. They shouldn't allow anybody to hire anybody, Yeah,

263
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 2: until after the super Bowl is done.

264
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 3: It's weird for a league that is so right on

265
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 3: everything it does.

266
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 4: Like, let's face it, they get it right, all right,

267
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 4: like these other leagues do, not NBA, but they get

268
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 4: it right. And that's an obvious one for me. I

269
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 4: And even forget like a Spag situation, but just from like,

270
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 4: you don't want the well during the playoffs. You just

271
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 4: want the focus to be on the playoffs and then

272
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 4: it adds the intrigue of hey, guys like, what about

273
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 4: the coaches? Like, so then everybody turns the page together

274
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 4: to the following season.

275
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 2: I love that And frankly, the way I would do

276
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 2: it is I wouldn't allow interviews to take place until

277
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 2: the day after the super Bowl, correct, And I would

278
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: do like they do a free agency. There'd be a

279
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 2: higher there'd be a first date available for coaches to

280
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 2: be hired, and it might be a week after the

281
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 2: super Bowl, so that I have a full week of

282
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 2: time to interview everybody, and you know, full week of

283
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 2: every TV show in the country sitting there just obsessing

284
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 2: over who's going to be coaching where, you know, like

285
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 2: that that, I think that's a win for the popularity

286
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 2: of the whole process too. So yeah, and for guys

287
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 2: like Spags, you know, you're you're almost stuck. Like I

288
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 2: wonder if for a coach that loves to coach, I

289
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 2: just wonder if he's gonna have to stop coaching to

290
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 2: get the chance to be a head coach simply so

291
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 2: he can get into the hiring cycle like that, And

292
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 2: that's that's stupid, that's a failed process. So it is

293
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 2: I totally agree with you.

294
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 4: On that and listen, as you know, I mean, he's

295
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 4: a he's a great dude. I talked to him about

296
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 4: it and he's he's like, listen, I catch up the guy.

297
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 3: If it happens, it happens.

298
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 4: If not, because I I'm not, I'm not concerned about it.

299
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 4: You know, you know, deep down you won't always want

300
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 4: your chance to be the guy. And I know that

301
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 4: Saint Louis still sticks in his crawl that. You know,

302
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 4: it was not the perfect situation there. He did not

303
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 4: get a a long lease. They had one foot out

304
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 4: the door. You know, he was about to turn them around.

305
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 4: I mean they had no talent, I mean none whatsoever.

306
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 4: And then in the second year they're fighting for a playoff.

307
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 4: He loses Sam Bravs quarterback and lost both his corners

308
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 4: as well. The third year and so it's a bad

309
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 4: year and he's still trying to rebuild the thing.

310
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 3: And then they fire him, and.

311
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 4: You could see like he was vindicated in that they

312
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 4: didn't have success at all until they moved to Los Angeles,

313
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 4: So you know, I mean that speaks for it. Fisher

314
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 4: went in whoever went in after him and didn't do anything.

315
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm with you. I you know it would.

316
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 4: It would also add another level of intrigue for the

317
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 4: off season, right, Like, so you have Combine draft, so

318
00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 4: you basically go to coach Combine, push the Combine back

319
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 4: a week, like you there's no reason why you you

320
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 4: have to do your stuck in April for the draft,

321
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 4: you know.

322
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 2: Like yeah, push the entire calendar back, push the push

323
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 2: the Combine back, push the and frankly, players would like

324
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 2: all of that pushback too, so you know, play push

325
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 2: the push the draft back. I'm all in for that. Yes.

326
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 4: In college, you know, because of all the stuff that

327
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 4: has to happened with college and the portal and everything else,

328
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 4: Like they have to get their off season calendar right

329
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 4: college football and the NFL. I mean, you know you're

330
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 4: gonna add a week, right, so you might as well

331
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 4: figure it all out. You know that that week will

332
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 4: probably happen what two years when you when they add

333
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 4: the next the the eighteenth game.

334
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, that happened a couple of years. Yeah. So,

335
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 2: And I mean didn't we see that. The college football

336
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 2: calendar also already needs to be tweaked. I mean, the

337
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: fact is the lack of interest in the national championship

338
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 2: game means that if you're college football, you need to

339
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 2: step back and say, Okay, when do we have to

340
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 2: start the season to end the season at the right way.

341
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 2: So we could see both of these sports trying to

342
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 2: drastically change their calendar, you know, particularly the addition of

343
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,719
Speaker 2: eighteen games makes it an important part for the NFL.

344
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 2: But they're they're eventually going to add more playoff teams

345
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 2: in college football. I would think in twenty twenty six

346
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 2: when they have the opportunity, I think they're going to expand.

347
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 2: And then then they're gonna have to step back and say, Okay,

348
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: do they need to start college football in August just

349
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 2: to be done in time for you know, January first?

350
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 2: And that's that that's a real Let me ask you

351
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 2: to figure out.

352
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me ask you.

353
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 2: Do you so you believe?

354
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 4: What do you believe from that title game? What do

355
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 4: you take? Because I don't want to be too rash

356
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 4: off of it. I was dispported at the ratings. I

357
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 4: don't know why, but what so your belief is it's

358
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 4: just too long.

359
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 2: I don't think you can give pete with the NFL

360
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 2: playoffs at that point like that, that weekend of the

361
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 2: NFL playoffs, where we have you know, in that that

362
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 2: particular weekend where you have eight your final eight, you

363
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: have all day Saturday, all day Sunday of NFL playoff

364
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 2: football makes a late Monday night kickoff for a national

365
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 2: championship game just fall incredibly flat. It's just, you know,

366
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 2: I think I think you'd be way better.

367
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 3: I love I loved it.

368
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 4: I loved it the whole I was called the Holy Quad.

369
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 3: I loved it.

370
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 2: Why honestly, Like I get because I love college I

371
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 2: love covering college football more than I love cover in

372
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 2: the NFL. Like it's my favorite sport to cover because

373
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 2: I don't care who wins it loses. Uh, the NFL

374
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 2: is my, you know, my favorite sport, but college football

375
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 2: is my favorite to cover. I felt by halftime a

376
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 2: Monday night like football fatigue, being on the East Coast

377
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 2: being late news man. All right, you know, all right,

378
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 2: we got one half left, let's go. And I just

379
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 2: so to me when I started reading afterwards, people that

380
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: were trying to figure out why the ratings were down, saying, hey,

381
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 2: you know, it has a hard time competing with the

382
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 2: amount of attention. It just made sense to me because

383
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 2: I sort of felt it, you know, so maybe that's

384
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 2: just me, did you.

385
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 3: F f Yeah, I.

386
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 2: Know, I know I had a little football fatigue, gonna

387
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie, not gonna lie. First time I

388
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 2: wasn't at the national championship game in my career, so

389
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 2: maybe that was part of it. But you know, I

390
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 2: think they do a great job with that game and

391
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 2: with the way they present that game, and I thought,

392
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 2: you know, especially when you have those two brands in

393
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 2: it too, I just really expected it to capture and

394
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 2: the Monday did.

395
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 3: I mean, I was shocked, FITZI, I was shocked.

396
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 4: The game was a great game, Like for listen, I

397
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 4: thought that thing was Ohio State route right and Notre

398
00:19:55,440 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 4: Dame play is ass off. Notre Day played so well,

399
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 4: Oh my god, give them so much credit. They came

400
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 4: back to drive Olive States is elite, right, like completely elite. Well,

401
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 4: their weapons that have everything, and the way the Irish played,

402
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 4: I just give them the kids so much credit.

403
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 3: And Freeman, I don't know, I enjoyed it so much.

404
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 3: I was so.

405
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 4: Surprised at the at the I was shocked at the ratings,

406
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 4: and I guess even more shocked. I thought it where

407
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 4: it married the NFL. That's what I loved about it.

408
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I unfortunately, I think I think the your football

409
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 2: diehard passion is part of what I love about you.

410
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 2: I don't know that it came across that way from most.

411
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 3: All right, hold of thought.

412
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 4: And then I want you to I'm a I got

Speaker 4: go through. These games. I mean both these games are incredible, alright,

419
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 4: the epic battle of Buffalo and Kansas City and uh

420
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 4: fascinating storyline with Washington is and then of course the

421
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 4: the nemesis of the country, the E A G.

422

430
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 4: That's our Mayor Parker. She's actually a wonderful woman. Uh.

431
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 4: You know, we had a mayor once when they were

432
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 4: imploding Veteran Stadium and Mayor Street and he, uh, they

433
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:21,959
Speaker 4: were doing the countdown fitci.

434
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 3: He flubbed the countdown.

435
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 2: Amazing five two three fire. That is incredible. And there's

436
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 2: nothing to do about these these sorts of mistakes. You

437
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 2: just got to own them. You gotta step out and

438
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 2: be like, yep, can't spell, can't count, that's it?

439
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, oh my god. Yeah. Uh that's my town.

440
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 3: I love it, so proud of it.

441
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 4: We'll get into all the playoff games, or both of

442
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 4: the playoff games as we're down to the final three games,

443
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 4: Championship Weekend and the Super Bowl, so we'll get into that.

444
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 4: We'll get into the coaching situation. But I got a

445
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 4: hard head. I loved the championship game. I loved the playoffs.

446
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 4: I mean, even with the wards of the seatings, I

447
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 4: know the seatings are off, I don't know. I mean,

448
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 4: I can't explain to you how much I just enjoyed

449
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 4: it all the entire time, and the game itself again

450
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 4: from that opening drive, which was an epic, epic drive, fitsie.

451
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 4: I mean Notre Dame comes down and the only thing

452
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 4: they can do, which is long sustained drive to keep

453
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 4: the Ohio State offense off the field.

454
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 3: They do it right.

455
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 4: Riley Leonard carries the ball six times, right, I mean

456
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 4: he's he's getting banged around, but he's getting a few yards,

457
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 4: you know, matriculating down the field. And then Ohio State

458
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 4: shows it's it's just superpower it is and Will Howard

459
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 4: was phenomenal. He played a just flawless game. And when

460
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 4: you thought it was a blowout, I think that is

461
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 4: what hurt it. I think the fact in Ohio State

462
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 4: owned that second quarter and they come back and it

463
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 4: looked like a mismatch.

464
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people gave up at halftime.

465
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 2: I just I agree with part of that, But I

466
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 2: will say that I just think a lot of people

467
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 2: expected the blowout and weren't in so I did. I

468
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 2: think it was four radio interviews that day on Monday,

469
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 2: and all four of them asked me some variation of

470
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 2: the same question, why isn't there more hype for this game?

471
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 2: And I just I think part of what we have

472
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,959
Speaker 2: to realize when I say, like football fatigue comes in

473
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 2: one of the things is that when you have a

474
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 2: massive weekend of NFL playoff games, and it was massive

475
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 2: last weekend, especially knowing that we were going to get

476
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 2: Lamar taken on Josh Allen. We all knew that was

477
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 2: going to get a ton of hype. There were sexy

478
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 2: storylines to a bunch of these games, right, So through

479
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 2: the course of think about what Wednesday, Thursday, Friday was

480
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 2: leading up to that, Like if you were watching Sports

481
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 2: Talk TV, if you were sitting there in the airport

482
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 2: and you had, you know, whatever channel on you're watching,

483
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 2: how many people were talking about the National Championship Game

484
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 2: or where they're just constantly talking about the NFL matchups

485
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 2: over the course of Saturday and Sunday. So like, you

486
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 2: lose some of the hype build up, you lose some

487
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 2: of the drama build up, you lose the great movie

488
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 2: trailer that you know, makes everybody want to go see

489
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 2: the movie. And then every time somebody did talk about

490
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 2: the game, you saw picks on the game it was

491
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 2: Ohio State's gonna win big, Ohio State's gonna win big,

492
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 2: and it went all the way across the board. It's

493
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 2: just I think a lot of the casuals just sort

494
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 2: of became resigned to the fact that, yeah, there's a

495
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 2: National championship game, but these NFL playoff games are way better.

496
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 2: I'm more excited about that. I've heard more about that.

497
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 2: There's more stories than these like that stuff. I think

498
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 2: matters in the way the bricks staff.

499
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 4: Now, I listen, everything you say is is spot on.

500
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 4: And I couple that with because I also do believe

501
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 4: that the people quit on a game. Yeah, and I

502
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 4: think you're right. I think people look at the match

503
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 4: up my way. Yeah, nobody's beating Ohio State. I'm with you.

504
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 4: I do. And again you're also have I think there's

505
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 4: something about I don't know, maybe he's a SCC. Is

506
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 4: it the you know, the Alabama thing?

507
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 3: Is it LSU? I mean, you know, go or even Georgia.

508
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 4: Is it that football in the South that that carries

509
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 4: it a little bit? Maybe I don't know, but I

510
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 4: think you're right. I think the timing of it, I don't.

511
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 4: I guess I just love the idea that they played,

512
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 4: you know, playoff games. You know eight that eight games

513
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 4: the first weekend in five games I'm counting the college

514
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 4: football and the lead in how did the ratings do.

515
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 4: I I'm not one about ratings because sometimes I feel

516
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 4: like the ratings aren't real. I don't explain because I

517
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 4: think there are reasons for it.

518
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 2: That's fair.

519
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 4: I think you can make it dance. I don't think

520
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 4: it's an accurate depiction. But how did the ratings for

521
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 4: the semifinals do the Thursday Friday?

522
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 2: They were down compared to what anyone expected, So it

523
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 2: felt like interest wane over the course of the college

524
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 2: football playoff, not grow.

525
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 4: Which is odd, right because that happened before the NFL playoffs?

526
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 2: Yeah?

527
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 3: Right, Like that was Thursday Friday.

528
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 2: And I hated the fact that they put those games

529
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 2: on Thursday Friday, but you know that. And then again,

530
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I I'll admit my own hypocrisy. I sit

531
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: there and say, my god, how could you put those

532
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 2: games on Thursday Friday? And then I laugh because I'm like,

533
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, Thursday night TV on NBC

534
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 2: for a generation was the best night you could possibly

535
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 2: be on TV. People will watch TV if there's something

536
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 2: to watch, right, so.

537
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 3: Watch do you watch trash Thursday? Might NFL game?

538
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 2: Yeah? Dream? Yeah? No, you're right, So I'll admit my

539
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 2: own hypocrisy with that because my first mindset as well,

540
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 2: it's a Thursday night. That's a tough that's a tough ask.

541
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 2: But no, it's not like you know people, people will

542
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 2: absolutely watch that on a Thursday night. So yeah, I

543
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 2: don't know why. I don't know why they just as

544
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 2: the rounds went on, people seem to care a little less.

545
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: You know, which, if your college football is you made

546
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 2: a ton of money off this, there's nothing that changes

547
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 2: that you made money off the college football playoff. There

548
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 2: is going to I think you're gonna have to look

549
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 2: around and make sure that none of these trends are

550
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 2: actually concerning for the future. Though I do think that's fair.

551
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 4: Well, what do you think do you think the public?

552
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 4: Because I could tell you you both you and I are.

553
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 4: It's funny because we're very very similar. We love college

554
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 4: football and we both live in towns that don't.

555
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and to that end, I think, in my mind,

556
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 2: December feels like such a college football month. If I

557
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 2: was the bizarre of college football, which by the way,

558
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 2: is a job I'm willing to take in CAA call

559
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 2: me anytime. I'll be at Roger Goodelf. I'll be your

560
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 2: action forty million dollars, you know. But one of the

561
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 2: things I would do, and everybody will yell about the

562
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 2: academic schedule, we'll figure it out. One thing that I

563
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 2: would do is move the entire start of the season

564
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 2: back to like early mid August. I mean, honestly, if

565
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 2: we're if we're looking at it, and I if we're

566
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 2: going to continue to expand the college football playoffs, I'd

567
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 2: also have no problem getting rid of a game in

568
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 2: the regular season, get rid of a cupcake for everybody.

569
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 2: Whatever it takes to make sure that we start the

570
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 2: playoffs on December first. So we start the playoffs right

571
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 2: away in December, and then every weekend in December you

572
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,239
Speaker 2: get a playoff game and you get a championship game

573
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 2: on January first. I think that would make the most sense.

574
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 2: I would start the season with the Army names.

575
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 3: I mean, you can't have January one. One game on

576
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 3: the January first.

577
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you just you just no.

578
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 3: I hate it. I hate it.

579
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 2: Tzar you want to you want to marry?

580
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 3: I hate it. I hate it.

581
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, January first, Like we do this, we get

582
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 2: two games January first. Is that enough or I don't know. No,

583
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 2: Anthony wants four he wants four games.

584
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 3: I do.

585
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 4: I I want January first, like I'm used to a

586
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 4: lot of games like, yeah, I I don't like I'm sorry, Czar.

587
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 4: I love August. I love taking advantage of August. So

588
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 4: I think I think August also having that month to

589
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 4: yourself A people are dying for football. Yep, b it

590
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 4: would you would shine the line like you we were

591
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 4: joking about week zero right like, and there's like trash

592
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 4: games on. I would definitely. I love the August idea.

593
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 4: I just don't like it wrapped up by Jagged first.

594
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 4: I mean, why can't you just wrap it up? The

595
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 4: NFL playoffs don't be giving told the middle of January anyway,

596
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 4: Like January Eightwall was in eighth, ninth, tenth.

597
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 2: I think it's yeah, well and once they expand to

598
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 2: eighteen games, like, well, that changed. I think. I don't know,

599
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 2: You're I appreciate your purest view of January first is

600
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 2: a day for college football. I appreciate that. I think

601
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 2: that's as a glorious thing about you. I'm just taking

602
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 2: it away, you know, I appreciate it. I respect that

603
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 2: that I'm taking it. You know, It's like this is

604
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 2: where change, you know, what change sometimes hurts, brother, and

605
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 2: and you know, if that's what we have to do

606
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 2: to make the rest of it, you know. And also

607
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 2: by moving Army Navy into the first weekend of the season,

608
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about stepping on Army Navy.

609
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 2: Uh and you know you could you could then you

610
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 2: could start rolling right away. You know, if you think

611
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 2: about Rivalry week is always right around Thanksgiving, and then

612
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 2: you have conference championship games, which I would frankly get

613
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 2: rid of. So I would get rid of conference championship games.

614
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 2: Is I'm workshopping this in my head. No conference championship games.

615
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 2: I would make a rivalry weekend the last weekend of

616
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 2: the season, and I would start the playoff runt.

617
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh, I got either a Tzarrere.

618
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 2: Look, you can't be bizarre and always be popular to everybody.

619
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 4: Let me make you argue. Let me make the argument

620
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 4: a little bit here on the other side. I'm going

621
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 4: to give you the dates. And it's important to note

622
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 4: that the NFL will add one more date, all right,

623
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 4: So keeping that in mind, because there's no reason to

624
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 4: be like college football and does now and it's to

625
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 4: something only to know that you're gonna change it to

626
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 4: you years later, which I hate. All right, So if

627
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 4: we get back, we'll do it. Fellas Hagen FITZI cause

628

Speaker 3: Coming up.

631
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 4: We're gonna be heavy into both these games. We'll go

632
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 4: heavy into the coaches thing, you know, all NFL. But

633
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 4: we're just on the subject of college football after National

634
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 4: Championship game and kind of figure it out with Fitzi's

635
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 4: the news are college football, so we're trying to figure out.

636
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 4: I'm trying to convince him not to do two things

637
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 4: to rash all right. Off of the ratings. Freaking hate

638
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 4: the ratings, man, hate this stuff. Uh believe I think

639
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 4: they're bogus. I don't put believe in. I don't believe

640
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 4: in the science. And the only the only numbers I

641
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 4: believe in are the is the digital numbers, because that's

642
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 4: got you can see people. I don't I still I

643
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 4: think it's I think it's it's I don't believe in Neilsen.

644
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 3: I love you, Nielsen, I don't believe in you. Uh.

645
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 4: January eleventh was the date of the wild card weekend

646
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 4: that will get pushed.

647
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 3: The NFL's go to eighteen games.

648
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 4: So let's just take this year that will get pushed

649
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 4: to January eighteenth. So when that gets pushed, you're free

650
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 4: and clear. You have to just be done by the

651
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 4: week before or that week.

652
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 3: You're good.

653
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 2: Well, now I'm as bizarre. There are certain things that

654
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 2: I can't change. I can't change the fact that the

655
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 2: NFL or the college football playoff is going to sixteen teams.

656
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 2: All right, So we're gonna have four playoff weekends. So

657
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 2: if I want to end the weekend of the eleventh,

658
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 2: and I want to have four playoff weekends, I'm still

659
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 2: gonna have to start by what December. If I'm looking

660
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 2: this year, I would have started on December twentieth. It

661
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 2: would be the latest I could start one.

662
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 3: Two, which is kind of what you did.

663
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 2: Which which kind of what it did. They gave They

664
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 2: gave ten days before the championship game, right, they want

665
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 2: to give a little bit more time.

666
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 4: That was too long, the ten days too Like it's

667
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 4: gotta be a week you can't have, Like the ten

668
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 4: days is too long. You can't do two weeks with

669
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 4: the super Bowl. It's just not there. You gotta just

670
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 4: do the we gotta get they were out of rhythm.

671
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 4: They were short week long week. You gotta be in

672
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 4: better rhythm. There, we agree on that, Czar.

673
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I agree on that. I'm a little

674
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 2: concerned that I'm still taking on the NFL on Saturdays,

675
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 2: you know, because the NFL does the Saturday Sunday game thing.

676
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 2: So I am a little concerned that even the last

677
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 2: few weeks of the season, when the NFL goes to

678
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 2: two days a week, they still kick my butt this

679
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,720
Speaker 2: year in the playoffs with their regular season games on Saturday.

680
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 2: So I'm a little concerned with that. But is this

681
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 2: are and but as a kind of listenings are I

682
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 2: could hear you on having the championship game done by

683
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 2: let's say the eleventh right, That gets me before the

684
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 2: last week of the NFL season, So I'm out of

685
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 2: the way of the last week of the NFL season.

686
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 2: So then all I'm doing is starting the week.

687
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 4: I mean, I'll be honest with you, I hate the

688
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 4: last week in the NFL seasons.

689
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 3: Like to me, it's it stakes.

690
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 4: This year was okay a little better because there was

691
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 4: there was the game this Sunday night game the Minnesota

692
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 4: Detroit game. Yeah, but but but every other game sucked.

693
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 4: It's always a per game on Saturday. Saturday sucked.

694
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're giving themselves the best chance to make

695
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 2: sure that they always have meaningful games by having division games.

696
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 2: And I don't want to have to take on meaningful

697
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 2: football games, right, Like, so you know, I I I

698
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,439
Speaker 2: still try and get done before if I get done

699
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 2: by the eleventh, you know, and I need four weekends

700
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 2: to do that, I've already moved as bizarre army.

701
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 4: Well what about the what about a Friday night? Do

702
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 4: you not like a Do you prefer a Monday night

703
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 4: or a Friday night?

704
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 2: It's only going to be Saturdays. I'm only putting champ

705
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 2: I'm putting everything on Saturdays. That's Saturdays are for college football,

706
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 2: not Mondays. Right, Friday nights are not for college football.

707
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 4: Second, the only thing, but hang on zar one second,

708
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 4: there is no football on Monday night after the final

709
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 4: weekend of the season. There's no Monday night football, So

710
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 4: why not the last Monday have that as the championship game?

711
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 3: Like you end the seed the NFL season ends.

712
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 4: Right, pick the date, and then that Monday night of

713
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,280
Speaker 4: the NFL season of the last game of the regular

714
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 4: season is the championship.

715
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 2: The only thing that like for me, having a weeknight

716
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 2: championship late kickoff on the East Coast is just never

717
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 2: the right thing for the growth. Like Super Bowl Sunday

718
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,439
Speaker 2: is a standalone day of glory and greatness, I want

719
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,720
Speaker 2: the same for my championship game. I want to stand

720
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 2: alone Saturday. I want I want. I want Championship Saturday

721
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 2: where everybody wakes up and you know you're not sitting

Speaker 2: there saying wow, Game day is on it three in

723
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 2: the afternoon on a Monday. What do we do now?

724
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 2: I want to rely on habitual viewers. So you're used

725
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 2: to watching college football every Saturday. I'm gonna give you

Speaker 2: how much you can party while you watch the college

732

Speaker 2: football National Championship. The only thing is that, in my

733
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,919
Speaker 2: proposal that I'm now really on board with, I don't

734
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 2: care about January first. I'm gonna be honest for the

735
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 2: College Footall playoff. I don't care about the first January.

736
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 2: Give me you put other Bowl games there, Okay, put

737

738
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 2: other games there. I don't care. I'm keeping it on Saturdays,

00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:11,120

741
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 2: I don't know. I get it.

742
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,919
Speaker 4: Part of it you'll hate because part of me goes, well,

743
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 4: you know what, what if I Matt tried to marry

744
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 4: it even more and now I'm not even gonna bring

745
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 4: it up.

746
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 3: I was trying to figure out.

747
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 4: I was trying to figure out a way to make

748
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 4: Super Bowl weekend or the week around the Championship.

749

Speaker 4: to put a bow because if you just joined us,

772
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 4: we Fitzi's to get just the new guy named the

773
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,720
Speaker 4: news are of college football. So we're we're just trying

774
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 4: to tweak things a little bit, trying to talk things

775
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:21,479
Speaker 4: through as to why it felt like the championship game

776
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 4: wasn't done and can I just say, was it just

777
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 4: a mismatch? Like are we gonna throw the baby out

778
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 4: with the bathwater because we flubbed seeds.

779
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 3: First of all, the.

780
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 4: Seeds were all stupid the way the way they did

781
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,720
Speaker 4: the seeds were stupid. Like everybody agrees that has to change.

782
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 4: And as much as Notre Dame's historic program going into

783
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 4: the game, there was a lack of Notre Dame belief love.

784
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 4: Like the matchup itself, nobody likes Ohio State except the

785
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 4: Ohio I mean you saw the should kind of go eh, right,

786
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:06,760
Speaker 4: there's some kind of weird Ohio State hate, I think,

787
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 4: and I don't know that the people believe that the

788
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 4: Notre Dame would give it a game. The game starts

789
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 4: off with a Notre Dame drive, epic drive Ohio State

790
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 4: bag bag bag, and I think people gave up. So

791
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 4: are we throwing listens? Are Are we throwing the baby

792
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 4: out with the bath water? No?

793
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:29,720
Speaker 2: But I do think that you make a valid point

794
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 2: that you know, one thing we could all have right

795
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 2: now is a little bit of patience, right, Like I

796
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 2: do believe that there's an element of calm down, especially

797
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 2: like look at some of the narratives of the secs.

798
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 2: You know, not going to compete anymore, blah blah Blah's like,

799
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 2: we got one year, one year into this tank thing.

800
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 2: I don't think you should make any sweeping changes one

801
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 2: year into something. But I do think that it's concerning

802
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 2: that it didn't can It didn't hold people's attention the

803
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 2: way I think it should have, especially with those two brands.

804
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 2: I mean, if Ohio State Notre Dame blowout or not

805
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 2: can't hold your attention, what happens when that championship game inevitably,

806
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 2: you know, is Arizona State versus you know, somebody else, Like,

807
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,800
Speaker 2: I mean, you're talking about two of the biggest brands

808
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 2: in all of college football, two ratings monsters. So I

809
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 2: think that's part of why it is concerning. But I'm

810
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,760
Speaker 2: with you. I would have no problem saying hey, especially

811
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 2: because they can't technically change the college football playoff until

812
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six anyway, So the best thing they can

813
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 2: do now is just run it back, tell everybody to

814
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 2: calm down, and then start to figure it out from there.

815
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 4: Well, and the other aspect is the one thing I

816
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 4: do believe, and this goes is a truism for every sport.

817
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 4: You gotta know your lane, all right. I know, growth

818
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 4: is important but you can't grow it overnight.

819
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 3: And the other thing. The truth of the matter.

820
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 4: Is America loves is obsessed with one league.

821
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 3: It's the NFL.

822
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 4: So the quicker you realize that, a you shouldn't cross

823
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 4: the NFL, which means you shouldn't play against them, right

824
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 4: like Christmas Day, you're in the NBA. You gotta run

825
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 4: your games. I get it, But you gotta be happy

826
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 4: when with your little sliver of the pie. Like at

827
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 4: some point you gotta go, all right, I'll take my

828
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 4: I'll take my little sliver of the pie and be

829
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 4: happy because, uh, last time I checked, the NBA is

830
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 4: still signing ridiculous television deals. So who's crying for the

831
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 4: NBA even though the league is unwatchable? Part of it

832
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 4: is who cares? If the goal is it's you know,

833
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,240
Speaker 4: to solvency? Like then who cares?

834
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 3: Right? Like you know whatever?

835
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 4: With college football, Like, you're not going to have NFL numbers,

836
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 4: that's just what it is now you compare it to

837
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,280
Speaker 4: the past. Go on, it's lower, all right, Just don't

838
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 4: freak out. I love your idea of August. I think

839
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 4: there's avoid in August. August sucks for sports because I

840
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,760
Speaker 4: love baseball. But let's be real, all we're talking about

841
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,399
Speaker 4: is training camp the entire month. If you actually had

842
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 4: games being played, I think it's great. I think they

843
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 4: have the intention all themselves. So I love the idea

844
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,800
Speaker 4: of that. So if you want to start in August

845
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 4: and and it you know, second week of January, let's go.

846
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 2: No, I'm in. I'm in for that. Like, I think

847
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 2: that makes a lot of sense. And also when you

848
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 2: mentioned the context, I do think it's important to remember

849
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 2: that love it or hate it, right or wrong, no

850
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 2: matter what college football was thinking this year, they did

851
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 2: decide to put their championship game on the same day

852
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 2: as of the inauguration and Mlkday, So like that that

853
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 2: could all contribute to some of the ratings conversations.

854
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 4: That's better, I mean, I mean you think something's going on, right,

855
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 4: I mean the whole the news.

856
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 3: You're not capturing any of the news one thing.

857
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 4: And I know this is never gonna work, but I

858
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 4: did think, is there any way you could foresee anything

859
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 4: of like the ultimate gluttony of a college football championship

860
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 4: on Saturday and a Super Bowl on Sunday, or the

861
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 4: college football Championship the week before the Super Bowl in

862
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:30,280
Speaker 4: the down week.

863
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 3: Could you imagine that?

864
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 4: I mean, malthik, it works out with the way it goes,

865
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 4: but it would be ridiculous, wasn't it?

866
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 3: Yeah?

867
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. I do like I kind of like

868
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 2: your idea of a championship weekend where you're just like,

869
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 2: you know what, We're gonna put the college football championship

870
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 2: game the day before the Super Bowl. Like yes, I'm

871
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 2: sure some people are already screaming that, you know that

872
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 2: that screws up their their party plans. But no, I'd

873
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 2: be all in for that. I think that's that's kind

874
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 2: of a creative idea. So you know, I I like

875
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 2: that a lot.

876
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting.

877
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 4: All right, let's get to the NFL and let's get

878
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 4: to these this weekend. First, let's start in the NFC.

879
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 4: So let's start with Washington, who pulls off the dramatic

880
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 4: upset in Detroit. First of all, I just need your

881
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 4: kind of overview of the gate of Tomorrow and that

882
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 4: kind of how you see the game.

883
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 2: I mean, so I'm a big fan of why is

884
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,839
Speaker 2: this going to be different? That's the question I asked

885
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 2: when teams have played, especially if they played recently, and

886
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 2: the one thing about it is to me that that

887
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 2: is glaring in the game coming up tomorrow, is that

888
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty six and one hundred and fifty

889
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 2: that was the rushing yards respectively in each of these

890
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 2: games for Saque And that's not going to change. Washington

891
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 2: can be run on. And I just I know that

892
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 2: we everybody loves Jaden Daniels. Who doesn't love Jayden Daniels.

893
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,439
Speaker 2: It's fun to watch, its special to watch. I did

894
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 2: not think that Washington would be Detroit. I didn't think

895
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 2: Detroit would melt down the way they did. I was

896
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,359
Speaker 2: wrong about all of that. But today's a new day.

897
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 2: And if I have to make my decision on who's

898
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 2: going to win this football game, to me comes down

899
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 2: to which team do I trust more to be able

900
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 2: to run the football, and that's Philadelphia. So I think

901
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:20,320
Speaker 2: the Eagles win this because their issues with the passing

902
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 2: attack are not going to be on full display in

903
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 2: this game. They shouldn't be. This is going to be

904
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 2: another feedsake on the ball until Washington finds a way

905
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 2: to slow you down. And I know five passing touchdowns

906
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 2: we've all heard that, but man, it is rare to me,

907
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 2: even more rare than a rookie throwing for five touchdowns.

908
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 2: Is a game that you win when you turn over

909
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,319
Speaker 2: the turn the ball over as much as Washington did

910
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 2: in that game against Philly. I think that was a

911
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 2: bit of an aberration. I think Philly wins this game.

912
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 2: They're headed to the super Bowl.

913
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I kind of I kind of agree. I think

914
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 4: it could be a close game. Yeah, you know, you

915
00:48:55,880 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 4: could totally say it being tight, being you know, a sweat.

916
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 4: But ultimately your point about Saquon is, I mean, he

917
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 4: has more home runs than Aaron Judge in the playoffs.

918
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 4: I mean it's ridiculous, Like that's good. I mean, my god,

919
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 4: what you saw in the snow and he knew it before,

920
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 4: so before the play he looks it hurts and he

921
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 4: says something that hurts, like this is it? Like we

922
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 4: got this? They got a smile, and lo, behold, he

923
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 4: busted it.

924
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 2: Why. The wildest part to me is that every single

925
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 2: time he touches the ball, like on the long run,

926
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 2: you're reference and the jump cut that he made on

927
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 2: that run just to get to the outside edge was incredible.

928
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 2: And just when you think you're in the right spot

929
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,359
Speaker 2: and you have everything going the way that it needs

930
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 2: to go. You think everything's good, all of a sudden

931
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 2: you realize it's not good.

932
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 3: Right.

933
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 2: It's just it is INCREDI to see the way that

934
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 2: he finds runs where there's nothing there to run for.

935
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 2: I just I don't know when we've ever seen anything

936
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,439
Speaker 2: like it, and it to me, it feels like we're

937
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,439
Speaker 2: witnessing one of the greatest running back seasons we've ever seen.

938
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 2: And if you can't stop the run, you're gonna get

939
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 2: embarrassed against Philadelphia because it's just I know, we're infatuated

940
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 2: with talking about the drama with the passing game. It's

941
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 2: just that's just not how they're going to have to

942
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 2: win this football game. It maybe it comes back to

943
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:27,839
Speaker 2: bite him in the asse at some point, but not

944
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:28,399
Speaker 2: in this game.

945
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 3: Dude. Yeah, I kind of feel the same way.

946
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 4: I Mean, the only thing that could derail the Eagles

947
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 4: is if Hurts tweaks the knee. It's it's, you know,

948
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,840
Speaker 4: it bites at him. He can't move. Like from everything

949
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,800
Speaker 4: I hear, I hear more that's more of a spray

950
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 4: in the MCL that it's probably between grade one and

951
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 4: grade two. He wears the brace, which stabilizes it and he's.

952
00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 3: He's okay, like he can move.

953
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 4: You know, he's not going to be tremendously hampered except

954
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:05,399
Speaker 4: if it starts to bite at him and nag at him,

955
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 4: which as low as possible with that injury. But the

956
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:12,359
Speaker 4: only way to me that the Eagles don't move the

957
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 4: ball is if they're that he can't move, because then

958
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:22,240
Speaker 4: it's legitimate. I mean, you saw what happened with Hurts

959
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:25,879
Speaker 4: in the run game last week. First drive of the game,

960
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 4: he goes forty four yards, Like, you need that threat

961
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:31,879
Speaker 4: and he needs to be able to move to even

962
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 4: throw the ball down the field.

963
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 2: I agree with that, But what's your level of concern

964
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 2: that that's going to be an issue? Like you know

965
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 2: what I mean? I mean, I understand that obviously he's

966
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:44,840
Speaker 2: saying it's progressing, and we don't have all the information

967
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,439
Speaker 2: that we get into it. I just, man, I don't

968
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 2: are we getting any indication that that's going to be a.

969
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 4: Great I mean, they're not worried. I can tell you

970
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 4: that they're not worried. You know, they're it's a mild concern.

971
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 4: So I have a mid concerned about it. Then I

972
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 4: have a mild concerned and from everything I'm I'm talking

973
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 4: to people, it's you know, they're not overly panicked by it, so.

974
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,879
Speaker 2: Not to me is that to me says everything when

975
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 2: you're going to the NFC Championship game, if you're not

976
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 2: overly panicked, then you're.

977
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 4: Good, and then Mitchell is healthy. That was one I

978
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 4: was very concerned with, was quinnyon Mitchell. Who is the

979
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,800
Speaker 4: Eagles rookie corner, Who's who's a great player?

980
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 3: Right? And in fact, the first game of the year.

981
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 4: Between the two, between the two, he skunked Terry McLarin

982
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 4: to the point where they had to move Terry McLaurin

983
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 4: to the other side. He's always on the left side.

984
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:51,800
Speaker 4: They moved to the right side for his only catch,

985
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 4: and then in the second game they attacked him more

986
00:52:56,080 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 4: and he had some success. And if fairness, Daniels was

987
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,479
Speaker 4: healthy in the second game. The first game between the two,

988
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 4: daniels knee was was tweaked and he couldn't move.

989
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 3: That a little bit, so there was a bit of that.

990
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:16,919
Speaker 4: Of course, Hurtz gets hurt injured in that second game,

991
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 4: has to leave at the end of the first quarter.

992
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:26,719
Speaker 4: Picket finishes, Saquon goes crazy for the first quarter and

993
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 4: then Washington has a little bit of success. I mean,

994
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:35,440
Speaker 4: I love the story of Washington. I think they're terrific.

995
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 4: I mean I love the kid. I mean, we talk

996
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 4: about it right like I love Daniels. I think Daniels

997
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 4: is the truth and it is a great player. It's

998
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:49,319
Speaker 4: going to be a great player for a decade. I

999
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 4: just don't think they have enough. I don't.

1000
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:52,879
Speaker 3: I don't.

1001
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 4: And really upfront, like their weapons are fine, but up front,

1002
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 4: they got no Sam Cosmy. Who's their best guard, who's

1003
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 4: their best offensive player?

1004
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 3: Period?

1005
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 4: Uh, you gotta deal with the with Jalen Carter and

1006
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 4: the Eagles, the middle of that line, which is nasty,

1007
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 4: the interior part of that Eagles defensive line led by

1008
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 4: Jalen Carter, who single handling beat the Rams last week. Yeah, uh,

1009
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,240
Speaker 4: I don't know how you deal with that. And defensively,

1010
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:29,319
Speaker 4: that D line is not great like the Eagles saw

1011
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 4: the Rams D line last week. That's a that's a

1012
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 4: nasty front with gired Verse right and that whole crew, Like,

1013
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 4: that's a nasty, nasty front. Washington doesn't have the teeth

1014
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 4: that the Rams do. And the Eagles offensive line is

1015
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 4: is elite.

1016
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's how how often do we do

1017
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 2: we sit here when we're breaking down these games and

1018
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 2: make it super simple, like which team can establish running better,

1019
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,439
Speaker 2: which team team can control the line of scrimmage? Now,

1020
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 2: I mean Detroit's offensive line should have been absolutely elite

1021
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 2: in their matchup too. And Detroit, I mean, Detroit's melted down.

1022
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 2: There's no two ways about it. Detroit melted down to

1023
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 2: that game. And that's kudos to Washington for keeping the

1024
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 2: pressure on them and making that happen. Like I think, sometimes,

1025
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:19,879
Speaker 2: you know, we get into a situation where we don't

1026
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,439
Speaker 2: necessarily always give the right credit to the team that wins.

1027
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 2: I want to give all the credit here in the world. Also,

1028
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:29,320
Speaker 2: it's equally true that Detroit melted down. I just Philadelphia

1029
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 2: is not built offensively to be as willing nilly with

1030
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 2: the football as the Lions can be. And you know,

1031
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,239
Speaker 2: we're in that football game, so I don't think they'll

1032
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 2: put the ball at risk. And I think, you know, frankly,

1033
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 2: they'll just make sure that Saquan's hammering at home. So

1034
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 2: you know, I get a little concerned with the knee

1035
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:49,880
Speaker 2: injury and what that means for your brotherly shoved because certainly.

1036
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 2: I think when you have a when you're playing a

1037
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 2: four down team and you have the opportunity to be

1038
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 2: a four down team, you have to sort of have

1039
00:55:56,360 --> 00:56:00,080
Speaker 2: some concept to that. But I just I there there

1040
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 2: are fun ways to put together a Washington win. It's

1041
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:04,360
Speaker 2: just not something that I would if I had to

1042
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 2: bet my house on, I wouldn't. I wouldn't bet my

1043
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 2: house on any of them.

1044
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:13,880
Speaker 4: Well, I figure you're spot on for a couple of things. One,

1045
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 4: I mean you kind of go back to the Eagles

1046
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 4: don't turn the ball over. They just don't, and that

1047
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:24,800
Speaker 4: was why the lost the game. That's why the Lion's lost.

1048
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 4: I mean, the Lions melted down in every possible way,

1049
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 4: down to Ben Johnson, who I thought Paddick. I thought

1050
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 4: his play calling was a paddock play calling. He got

1051
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 4: away from Gibbs. Gibbs rather the ball thirteen times, right,

1052
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 4: I mean he was having success thirteen for over one hundred.

1053
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 4: I know, I talked about golf last week and I

1054
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 4: said it, and somebody one of the guys reached out

1055
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,840
Speaker 4: was like, dude, you can't go all in on golf,

1056
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:55,399
Speaker 4: And he was right, Like golf turned to golf had

1057
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:56,399
Speaker 4: a miserable day.

1058
00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:57,359
Speaker 3: Yep.

1059
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 4: But I'm just saying, even though you're down to ten points,

1060
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 4: still mixing a couple more carriers. And I'm not saying

1061
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 4: you go away from Gibs completely, who was averaging almost

1062
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 4: ten yards of pop. And then the other thing is

1063
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 4: why are you from with Jamison Williams. Why are you

1064
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 4: doing that gadget play on a comeback trail?

1065
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think that's at midfield first down, like Jamison,

1066
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 2: there's so much play on that play. I didn't love

1067
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 2: the play call. But also Jamison's gotta be smarter with

1068
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 2: the football, like you just can't. He's a receiver eve it. Yeah, yeah,

1069
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 2: but you know, I.

1070
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 4: Mean, why what you get when you when you put

1071
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:35,479
Speaker 4: when you expect him to make that make a read like.

1072
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 3: That, that's fair.

1073
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 2: It's just man, you just you can't. You just can't

1074
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 2: do that. Jamison Williams had to know in that situation

1075
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 2: that like, hey, nothing's there, just throw the damn ball

1076
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 2: away or take the sack, like take the take the loss.

1077

1078
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:53,959
Speaker 4: a receiver to do to make that read.

1079
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 3: I don't think it's fair. I don't that's right all right.

1080
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:00,920

1097
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 4: I see Washington like shock in the world. Besides, so

1098
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 4: like a hurtz injury, like the knee is tweaked.

1099
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 3: And he's not right.

1100
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 4: Would be if they control the ball like they give

1101
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:17,560
Speaker 4: control the ball against Tampa, where they had an eleven

1102
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:23,000
Speaker 4: minute time of possession advantage where they just win first down, right,

1103
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 4: you get six, five, six, seven a pop on the

1104
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 4: first down and are able to control the football and

1105
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 4: that's where dan Quinn goes four downs, and that's where

1106
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 4: it's almost like those that Notre Dame drive that we

1107
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:41,439
Speaker 4: saw at the top. And then the one thing that

1108
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 4: the Eagles have not faced is they haven't been down

1109
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:48,440
Speaker 4: two scores in the second half, like we haven't seen

1110
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 4: them have to come back and use their past game

1111
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 4: and stress out Hurts as the thrower and all that stuff.

1112
00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:00,160
Speaker 3: We haven't seen that piece of it. So that to

1113
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 3: me is.

1114
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 4: The only the only recipe where if I look at

1115
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 4: a game script, the only game script where washing it

1116
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 4: can win.

1117
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that feels like a difficult game script against

1118
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:12,919
Speaker 2: this particular defensive line. To me, I'm buying a little

1119
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 2: what you're selling. Is there any you know because you

1120
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 2: look at time of possession, by the way, because your

1121
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 2: point on long drives is an important one. A time

1122
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 2: of possession was something that they absolutely dominated against Tampa Bay,

1123
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 2: but also they one time of possession against the Lions too,

1124
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:33,919
Speaker 2: which is you know, just a reminder that they they

1125
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 2: managed to take advantage of that. Again, five turnovers for

1126
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 2: Detroit is just suffocating. I just I can't. I can't

1127
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 2: wrap my head around how you turn the ball over

1128
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 2: five times in that game. You can't win obviously, right,

1129
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 2: you can't and everything. But the funny thing is, even

1130
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, there were still moments where you're like,

1131
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 2: you know what, Detroit's gonna try and figure out a

1132
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 2: way to make this a game and they couldn't. Right, So,

1133
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:58,440
Speaker 2: even with five turnovers, I hear you on that, I

1134
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 2: think Jayden's also got to play, you know perfectly. There's

1135
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 2: gonna have to be a couple of those you know,

1136
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 2: moon ball sort of big bombs in there that they're

1137
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 2: gonna have to be able to. They're gonna have to

1138
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 2: be able to get some big chunk plays to sort

1139
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 2: of take the crowd out of this game too. It's

1140
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:14,959
Speaker 2: just again, I don't want to sound like Debbie Downer

1141
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 2: because I was last week and they beat the Lions.

1142
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 2: So you know what, do we know? Like I tell

1143
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 2: everybody all the time, if we can predict all these

1144
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 2: games accurately, we'd live on a small island somewhere. We

1145
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 2: wouldn't be working, right, We would just we would live

1146
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 2: off for gambling earnings. Uh, I'm buying what you're selling

1147
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:32,440
Speaker 2: that they'd have to do that. I just don't know

1148
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:37,360
Speaker 2: that they can control the drive length the way that

1149
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 2: they're gonna need to in order to keep Philly off

1150
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 2: the field. And also I think that they're gonna have

1151
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,120
Speaker 2: to get Saquan is gonna have to make a mistake somewhere.

1152
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,320
Speaker 2: And that's just how often we see there's gonna have

1153
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 2: to be a key turnover, like there's gonna have to

1154
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 2: be a key fumble, Like there's gonna have to be

1155
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 2: a key drop somewhere. And I've been saying all year,

1156
01:01:57,120 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 2: I think Saquan's the actual NFL MVP this year. It's

1157
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 2: not it's not Lamar, it's not Josh, It's Saquon. And

1158
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna play like it in this game.

1159
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 2: So he's gonna go for a Bucks seventy five, And

1160
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 2: in the process of going for a buck seventy five,

1161
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 2: the Eagles are going to just grind down Washington over

1162
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 2: the course of four quarters. It'll be a close game

1163
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:15,480
Speaker 2: for the first half, and in the second half, I

1164
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 2: think it gets comfortable enough that Philadelphia wins by him

1165
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 2: went by, you know, seven or ten, and it was

1166
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 2: a tight game. But it wasn't a It wasn't a

1167
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 2: white knuckle game. If that makes sense.

1168
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

1169
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 4: I mean last week wasn't like a white knuckle game

1170
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 4: for the Eagles.

1171
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 3: Even though it.

1172
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 4: Looked like the game is over. When Saquon hits that

1173
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 4: one home run on the long run to go up thirteen,

1174
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 4: that game was a sweat. It hurts takes the safety

1175
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 4: and he shows you on that play he's not imperiling

1176
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 4: the football. He'd rather give up the two than the six. Yes,

1177
01:02:56,320 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 4: he's not going to do it, and the safety happens.

1178
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:06,160
Speaker 4: It's now fifteen to fourteen or seventeen. It was sixteen fifteen,

1179
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 4: it was whoever, it was the weird number because of

1180
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 4: the missed extra points.

1181
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:11,520
Speaker 3: Eagles are up one.

1182
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 4: Now the Rams are driving if you if you remember,

1183
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 4: they get to midfield, they have a second and two.

1184
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 4: Kyron Williams on the run and Jalen Carter playing punch

1185
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 4: out punches the ball from Kyron Williams. Jayleencard I love

1186
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 4: that get he's my favorite. He punches the ball out.

1187
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:35,360
Speaker 4: Eagles get it, they take it back. It sets up

1188
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:38,720
Speaker 4: a field goal, and that set up they got one

1189
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 4: I'm called the seven say Kwan run, another miss, extra point,

1190
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 4: they're up thirteen, and then the Rams go down and

1191
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:48,920
Speaker 4: score using the hurry up, which I think they probably

1192
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 4: should have used earlier, but whatever, and then it sets

1193
01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 4: up for the final drive and Carter's the hero again.

1194
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 3: But all that said, that was a white knuckle game.

1195
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 3: It really was.

1196
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:04,080
Speaker 4: It felt like the Rams a couple of times, especially

1197
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 4: before the Saquon run, like that was anybody's game.

1198
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 3: This one, I don't know.

1199
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 4: I think it's close, but I'm with you, like I

1200
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 4: don't know how you stop Barkley.

1201
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 3: I think the.

1202
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:21,920
Speaker 4: Eagles O line is not just like good, it's elite.

1203
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 4: I mean it's epic. Having Beckton in the run game

1204
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 4: on the right side. I mean, go back and look,

1205
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 4: because when you stack the box it actually makes it

1206
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 4: more difficult to stop the big runs. He's had those

1207
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 4: big runs because once you get through the first level,

1208
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 4: nobody's touching it.

1209
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:42,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's made so many people miss right at the

1210
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:43,840
Speaker 2: point of contact. It's been silly.

1211
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 4: And the hole the holes a bit like dirt, Like

1212
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 4: that line is unbelievable.

1213
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 2: And that's the part that you know I continually look

1214
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 2: at what was the final I pulled it up here.

1215
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:58,600
Speaker 2: Jimir gives fourteen carries for one hundred and five yards.

1216
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:01,920
Speaker 2: I just I think the biggest failing in the Lions

1217
01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:04,400
Speaker 2: game plan is that once the game started to get

1218
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 2: out of hand, they panicked a little bit and they

1219
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 2: gave up on explosive plays that were there to be

1220
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:12,560
Speaker 2: had in the running game. I just I think Washington's

1221
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 2: run defense is going to be something that they'll addressed

1222
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:17,800
Speaker 2: to the course of the offseason. And you know, let's

1223
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 2: be real, I think Washington would admit. I know people

1224
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 2: there have admitted that they're ahead of the head of

1225
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:27,120
Speaker 2: schedule for where they thought. But this is a team that,

1226
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 2: you know, frankly, at times throughout the course of the

1227
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 2: playoffs has struggled to run the football. They didn't run

1228
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 2: the football well at all against Tampa Bay, right, and

1229
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:39,320
Speaker 2: they averaged. They gave up four yards carry to Tampa Bay,

1230
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 2: to Buckie Irvings. So like, this isn't just the Lions

1231
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 2: conversation here, Like that there's the Commander's weakness happens to

1232
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 2: align with the Eagle strength in this matchup. The Eagles

1233
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 2: got to fix some level of balance in my mind

1234
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 2: before they get to the Super Bowl, if they're going

1235
01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:58,560
Speaker 2: to take on you know, a team that you know,

1236
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 2: a team like the Chiefs, because I don't think you

1237
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 2: can be one to mentioned and beat a team like

1238
01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:04,800
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, but I think you can be one dimensional

1239
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 2: offensively and beat the Commanders. Sorry, Washington fans, I feel

1240
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 2: dirty saying that I would love for Washington no offense

1241
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 2: cousin the story of Washington going here would be fun.

1242
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 2: It would be fun, dude.

1243
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 3: I agree.

1244
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:19,480
Speaker 2: We never see Washington Dan snyders out and immediately they

1245
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 2: get to the super Bowl, like that would be so awesome.

1246
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 2: I just I just can't. I can't piece it.

1247
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:26,280
Speaker 3: I hear you can, I can.

1248
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 4: I just tell you that, Uh, that would be a

1249
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 4: nightmare in Philadelphia to have Josh Harris hold up the

1250
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:39,919
Speaker 4: trophy at Lincoln Financial Field.

1251
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I didn't even think about that.

1252
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 4: Would be a nightmare. First of all, we're we're pissed

1253
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 4: off at the Sixers, right, and everybody feels like he

1254
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:56,880
Speaker 4: abandoned the Sixers for the Commanders.

1255
01:06:56,920 --> 01:07:00,840
Speaker 3: Which listen, I get it right, it's the NF. Well, so.

1256
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 4: We thought we were pissed off that he that Josh

1257
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:11,680
Speaker 4: had the Devils and this and the Sixers, right like,

1258
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:16,040
Speaker 4: he buys the Sixers, then he bought the Devils. They

1259
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 4: were like, wait a second, the Devils are the Flyers'

1260
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 4: biggest rival, and now you're buying the Commanders, an NFC

1261
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:24,760
Speaker 4: East team.

1262
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:29,040
Speaker 3: Right like the I mean, are you kidding me? Now?

1263
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 3: For I don't blame them.

1264
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 4: You know, that's their sports and entertainment business, and if

1265
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:37,120
Speaker 4: you could buy teams, that's what you do, right So

1266
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:41,959
Speaker 4: I'm not blaming Josh Harrison a little bit, But don't

1267
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 4: expect the Philopian fans to embrace that, right Like that's

1268
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 4: a nightmare having Josh Hairis hold up the trophy at

1269
01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 4: Lincoln Financial Field.

1270
01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:55,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't. I can't imagine that layer of it,

1271
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 2: another complication, like on top of losing to a division

1272
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 2: rival on your own field, like that feels like an

1273
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:05,320
Speaker 2: epic meltdown sort of moment, especially for a team that

1274
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 2: nobody thought was going to be here right now too,

1275
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 2: So you know it's yeah, when you lay it out

1276
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:12,960
Speaker 2: that way, that breaks my heart for Philadelphia fans. It's

1277
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 2: it's unfortunate because you know, Jayden Daniels has managed almost

1278
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:21,559
Speaker 2: single handedly to do the impossible, which is to make

1279
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:26,879
Speaker 2: Washington a likable franchise and make people talk only we've

1280
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:28,639
Speaker 2: I've said this team before, but like, when's the last

1281
01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 2: time we went to a whole season and only talked

1282
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 2: about Washington as a football team, right, So you know,

1283
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 2: to have Washington become so respectable so quickly, and yeah,

1284
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 2: I can't imagine, it's just fuel to the fire for

1285
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:43,160
Speaker 2: what what Eagles fans are going to be feeling here.

1286
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 2: And I can't imagine, especially if this is not a

1287
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 2: particularly well coached game for anywhere, any reason, It's only

1288
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:52,599
Speaker 2: going to start the yet never ending yelling about sirianni Ago,

1289
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 2: which is exhausting. So this is sort of lose lose

1290
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 2: for Philadelphia like that Philly's The only way that Philly

1291
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,679
Speaker 2: isn't absolutely apoplectic is if they had to the Super Bowl.

1292
01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:05,960
Speaker 4: Right, there is no there's no council, like there is

1293
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:10,680
Speaker 4: a six point favorite. Six point favorite like in a

1294
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:17,879
Speaker 4: championship game. That's a healthy favorite. Right, Yeah, at Hulls,

1295
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 4: you can't lose the game.

1296
01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Like, you can't lose this game. I don't,

1297
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:27,360
Speaker 3: I don't. You know.

1298
01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:32,679
Speaker 4: This reminds me, and believe me, the only the Bills

1299
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:39,639
Speaker 4: have had more vikis too, But the Eagles have been

1300
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:47,639
Speaker 4: in oh god, five six seven NFC Championship games since

1301
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:53,840
Speaker 4: two thousand and two one. So in O one they

1302
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:56,320
Speaker 4: lost to the Rams. That was the greatest show with turf,

1303
01:09:56,560 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 4: which was a good loss. Oh two, they're a favorite again.

1304
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:04,479
Speaker 4: It's Tampa and Tampa had never won an under like

1305
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 4: forty degree weather and last game of Veteran Stadium they

1306
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:13,799
Speaker 4: beat the Eagles. That was like the most devastating loss

1307
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:16,639
Speaker 4: in phil love in sports history. The follow year they

1308
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:21,360
Speaker 4: lose to Carolina and Jake Glom fourteen to three. Oh.

1309
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:26,240
Speaker 4: Then they beat Atlanta on the way to the super

1310
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 4: Bowl in Jacksonville. Then they lose to Arizona in eight

1311
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:33,439
Speaker 4: It was the all Pennsylvania super Bowl. Supposed to be

1312
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:39,600
Speaker 4: Steelers Eagles, it was Steelers Cardinals. Then they beat Minnesota

1313
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 4: in seventeen where it was that was Vikings get out

1314
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:51,280
Speaker 4: to seventh off the lead, and then there's the pick six,

1315
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:56,400
Speaker 4: which was a huge thing. They go on the trounsrom

1316
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:58,719
Speaker 4: Minnesota to win on the way to win their first

1317
01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:03,200
Speaker 4: Super Bowl. Twenty two is when Perdy gets hurt. They

1318
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:07,400
Speaker 4: beat the Niners and then fast forward to today. So

1319
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:11,120
Speaker 4: this is what they did in championship games. They're two

1320
01:11:11,160 --> 01:11:11,679
Speaker 4: and four.

1321
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:16,720
Speaker 2: The hard part about that. I was talking to my

1322
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:19,160
Speaker 2: buddy last night that's a Lions fan, and he was

1323
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:23,679
Speaker 2: talking about, actually, I'm sorry. He was talking about lamenting

1324
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:25,679
Speaker 2: the loss and how it feels like the windows closed

1325
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:28,360
Speaker 2: because the coaching staff is being poached and all these things.

1326
01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:30,080
Speaker 2: And I told him at the time, I said, I

1327
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:33,439
Speaker 2: remember when the Raiders lost the Super Bowl. I remember

1328
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:35,240
Speaker 2: because that had been so many years in a row

1329
01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:37,599
Speaker 2: where they had a weird loss in the playoffs, saying

1330
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:39,320
Speaker 2: to a buddy, man, I'd rather not even make the

1331
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:42,040
Speaker 2: playoffs and go through this heartbreak. It just sucks too much.

1332
01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:45,360
Speaker 2: And then I went through double digit losses for over

1333
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:47,679
Speaker 2: ten straight years, and I was like, Nope, never mind,

1334
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:50,000
Speaker 2: I'll take the playoffs. But I think what we can

1335
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:53,400
Speaker 2: all acknowledge when it all settles down is that both

1336
01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:58,160
Speaker 2: sides hurt. It's incredibly just heartbreaking as a fan when

1337
01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:01,240
Speaker 2: your team's not even competitive or complaiment competent, But it's

1338
01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 2: also incredibly heartbreaking as a family. Your team's always on

1339
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:06,360
Speaker 2: the doorstep and never quite gets there.

1340
01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:09,479
Speaker 4: Like so, yeah, that's a different type of torture, different

1341
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:13,200
Speaker 4: type of torture. I mean the Vikings fans, the Bills fans,

1342
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:15,879
Speaker 4: Like nobody's had it harder than those two fan bases,

1343
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:20,280
Speaker 4: Like you know, Cleveland's had a different type of you know,

1344
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:24,880
Speaker 4: having to deal with you and Raider Nation. My heart

1345
01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:29,679
Speaker 4: goes out to you because you tasted great success during periods,

1346
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:34,120
Speaker 4: but it was so long ago. And not being relevant,

1347
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 4: being awful, being downright stank sucks. That sucks because you

1348
01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:44,439
Speaker 4: don't get any enjoyment from the season.

1349
01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 3: At least if you're Buffalo.

1350
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:51,240
Speaker 4: You know you have a great team, a great player,

1351
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:54,960
Speaker 4: You got big games during the course of the season.

1352
01:12:57,160 --> 01:13:01,439
Speaker 4: You know, I think it's worse to be awful, to

1353
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:05,679
Speaker 4: be irrelevant. I think it's a worse lot lately.

1354
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:06,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do.

1355
01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:08,360

1365
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:51,560
Speaker 4: story because we'll get to Bill's chiefs coming up in

1366
01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:52,000
Speaker 4: the moment.

1367
01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:56,000
Speaker 3: But dude, the Daniels Jadon Daniels.

1368
01:13:56,640 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 4: The greatest attribute he has a quarterback besides his ridiculous

1369
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:07,840
Speaker 4: accuracy because he's a mousehole thrower, is his calmness in

1370
01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:08,840
Speaker 4: the pocket.

1371
01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:11,160
Speaker 3: So he is.

1372
01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:23,880
Speaker 4: Unfhased at pressure. He reads processes so quickly, you know, crass.

1373
01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:28,599
Speaker 4: When people talk about him as a mobile quarterback, that's the.

1374
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:30,120
Speaker 3: Least of his gifts.

1375
01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:35,479
Speaker 4: He's a great quarterback, Like, make no mistake, this kid's

1376
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:39,439
Speaker 4: the truth. He will be a great player for ten years. Right,

1377
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:43,559
Speaker 4: He's the next great one. He's got every attribute. The

1378
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:46,080
Speaker 4: only thing that would scare me about him is he's

1379
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:50,800
Speaker 4: so slight. But other than that, he reads, he knows

1380
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:56,320
Speaker 4: what he's looking at. He's unfhased by pressure, he's unphased

1381
01:14:56,360 --> 01:14:57,000
Speaker 4: by moment.

1382
01:14:57,040 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 3: He's as clutch as you can get to.

1383
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:01,479
Speaker 4: He's played it all the bit games of college, so

1384
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:05,599
Speaker 4: he's he's a great player, and the fact that he's

1385
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 4: mobile is just the cherry on the top. But I

1386
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:14,639
Speaker 4: read about his training and how he uses VR at

1387
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:18,439
Speaker 4: training as a training tool. Every morning he wakes up

1388
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:23,800
Speaker 4: and he puts the VR level at like superhuman like,

1389
01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:27,799
Speaker 4: it's not even for humans to process, so it comes

1390
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:31,360
Speaker 4: at him so fast that he's got to make the

1391
01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:32,000
Speaker 4: right decision.

1392
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:35,599
Speaker 3: He's training his brain to think quickly.

1393
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:39,960
Speaker 2: FITSI yeah, I think it's pretty incredible. Like the article

1394
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:43,639
Speaker 2: mentioned that the game speed is about one point seven times,

1395
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 2: and we always talk about how the NFL is faster, Well,

1396
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:49,200
Speaker 2: it's not if you're spending all of your training time

1397
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:52,439
Speaker 2: virtual Like he's wearing a virtual reality headset that's putting

1398
01:15:52,479 --> 01:15:54,160
Speaker 2: him in the stadium so he can see where the

1399
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:56,800
Speaker 2: clock is, he can get a sense for the feel

1400
01:15:56,840 --> 01:15:58,640
Speaker 2: of the entire stadium, what it's going to be like

1401
01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:01,800
Speaker 2: for him, and then he's running through his processing at

1402
01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 2: almost double the usual time for playback. And as a result,

1403
01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:08,960
Speaker 2: that means, as he pointed out, there loading in defenses

1404
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:11,000
Speaker 2: that are similar to the looks he's actually going to get,

1405
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:15,120
Speaker 2: so he's having to dissect things quicker through the training process,

1406
01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:17,320
Speaker 2: which then means when he gets into the game, the

1407
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:20,320
Speaker 2: game is actually slower than the virtual reality game he's

1408
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:23,760
Speaker 2: been playing. And this is just part of the new technology.

1409
01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:26,519
Speaker 2: They pointed out that once he started using this at LSU,

1410
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:30,160
Speaker 2: the numbers went through the roof and it's continued in

1411
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:32,960
Speaker 2: the NFL. And it makes total sense, brother, because I

1412
01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:35,600
Speaker 2: keep thinking about how the most important thing that a

1413
01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:37,760
Speaker 2: quarterback has to figure out what to do is is

1414
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:40,400
Speaker 2: processing what they're seeing and figuring out what the defense

1415
01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:43,120
Speaker 2: has given him and all these pre snap post snap things. Well,

1416
01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 2: if you're spending your entire week with a headset on

1417
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:47,760
Speaker 2: running at twice as fast as it's going to be

1418
01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:50,439
Speaker 2: in the actual game, you have to be more prepared.

1419
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:53,880
Speaker 2: I am genuinely curious how many quarterbacks we're going to

1420
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:56,879
Speaker 2: find out this offseason are now implementing this training strategy,

1421
01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:58,599
Speaker 2: because it's certainly working for Jade.

1422
01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:03,720
Speaker 4: Well, it's funny because last night, Uh, so we have

1423
01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 4: a basketball I have two boys, fifteen and eleven, and

1424
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:10,320
Speaker 4: so my eleven year old Massimo as we I coached

1425
01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:13,040
Speaker 4: his sixth grade team. So we had a game last

1426
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:15,880
Speaker 4: night which we won, which I was excited.

1427
01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:17,040
Speaker 3: Because we won five in a row.

1428
01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:17,880
Speaker 2: Congratulations.

1429
01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:20,559
Speaker 3: So thank you the boys.

1430
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:24,360
Speaker 4: They got pressed and we broke the press beautifully. I'm

1431
01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:26,760
Speaker 4: so proud of them. All Right, we got a lot

1432
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:30,000
Speaker 4: of transition easy buckets, and we wanted we played a

1433
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:32,040
Speaker 4: good team and we rolled them by twenty five, so

1434
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:35,680
Speaker 4: I was I was happy. So we come home and

1435
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:40,040
Speaker 4: I'm like, all right, dude, VR time and I got

1436
01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:43,920
Speaker 4: Massi working because he's a quarterback, and I got him

1437
01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:44,840
Speaker 4: working on VR.

1438
01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:47,200
Speaker 3: I figured, let's go, man, let's let's trade.

1439
01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:52,320
Speaker 4: And they also have Win Reality, which does baseball, so

1440
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 4: he plays baseball too, so you could you know, you

1441
01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:56,639
Speaker 4: could face the.

1442
01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:58,000
Speaker 3: Ninety mile an hour pitcher.

1443
01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:01,360
Speaker 4: Now, how great is that to be able to train

1444
01:18:01,439 --> 01:18:04,160
Speaker 4: your mind a quarterback or as a hitter.

1445
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:07,599
Speaker 2: That's that's amazing. That's amazing. And by the way, the

1446
01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:11,360
Speaker 2: real lesson we've learned is, never never pressed the fighting Garganos.

1447
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 2: She will lose. That's just that's just we should get

1448
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:16,320
Speaker 2: that on shirts. Never pressed the fighting Gargano, she will lose.

1449
01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:18,439
Speaker 2: But this virtual reality thing, it's gonna change the next

1450
01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:21,880
Speaker 2: generation man, like masmos it is. That age is gonna

1451
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:24,040
Speaker 2: be totally different when they get to that spot.

1452
01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:26,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I told them, dude, every morning we're gonna wake

1453
01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:28,680
Speaker 4: up six o'clock. We're gonna do it anyway. We're in

Speaker 3: It's one of our favorite things we do. All right, Well,

01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:14,439
Speaker 3: the crowd jewel.

1466
01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:18,919
Speaker 4: The weekend is the next iteration of Bills and Chiefs,

1467
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:23,680
Speaker 4: and there are there is so much to unpack with

1468
01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:28,559
Speaker 4: this match up. It's it's ridiculous from you know, the

1469
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:29,320
Speaker 4: subplots of.

1470
01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:33,280
Speaker 3: The quarterbacks, the.

1471
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:37,200
Speaker 4: Chiefs fatigue, the Chief's greatness, the Bills trying to get

1472
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:42,080
Speaker 4: over the hump, the Bill's storylines from the past right

1473
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:47,639
Speaker 4: like you know, still chasing it, Bill's mafia. It's it's

1474
01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:50,920
Speaker 4: such a great and I don't it's such a great

1475
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:55,559
Speaker 4: matchup and quite frankly, I don't know who to pick.

1476
01:19:57,640 --> 01:20:00,200
Speaker 2: So as we break into this matchup, can I the

1477
01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:02,360
Speaker 2: world angry for a minute? I'm just gonna I'm just

1478
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:04,880
Speaker 2: gonna throw something out that people are not gonna agree with,

1479
01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:06,920
Speaker 2: and they're gonna yell and scream at me, but it

1480
01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:10,000
Speaker 2: needs to be said because there's actual facts. There is

1481
01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:14,320
Speaker 2: no Chiefs bias with officiating, and the numbers don't bear

1482
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:16,400
Speaker 2: it out. So as we go into the game, the

1483
01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:17,840
Speaker 2: first thing I want to do is take off the

1484
01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:20,639
Speaker 2: plate any concept that the league is promoting the Chiefs

1485
01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:23,719
Speaker 2: and the couple of numbers everybody needs to know. During

1486
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:27,960
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes' career the Chiefs in games he started in

1487
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:32,240
Speaker 2: his career, the Chiefs have the fourth worst differential in

1488
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:36,439
Speaker 2: yards in penalty yards compared to their opponents fourth worst.

1489
01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:40,200
Speaker 2: They actually they get more penalties than their opponents to

1490
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:42,599
Speaker 2: and it is the fourth most in the entire league.

1491
01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:44,960
Speaker 2: And if your answer to that is, well, it's just

1492
01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:48,120
Speaker 2: the big plays the count. During the entire career of

1493
01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:51,639
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes as a starter, eighty four times the Kansas

1494
01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:53,800
Speaker 2: City Chiefs have had a third or fourth down turn

1495
01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:56,400
Speaker 2: into a first down due to penalty eighty four times.

1496
01:20:56,520 --> 01:20:59,840
Speaker 2: That number feels really staggering. Eighty four times they've had

1497
01:20:59,880 --> 01:21:02,080
Speaker 2: a third or fourth convert to a first down due

1498
01:21:02,080 --> 01:21:06,519
Speaker 2: to penalty. Unfortunately for the narrative, Chiefs opponents in those

1499
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:09,920
Speaker 2: same games have had one hundred and four conversions. So

1500
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:13,120
Speaker 2: there's absolutely no data that shows that the league supports

1501
01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:15,880
Speaker 2: Kansas City, that Kansas City has an advantage. In fact,

1502
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:18,280
Speaker 2: that data looks like Kansas City is one of the

1503
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:20,080
Speaker 2: worst teams in all of this. So I just want

1504
01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:23,080
Speaker 2: to end Chiefs fatigue is the reason we're trying to find,

1505
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:26,200
Speaker 2: Like our favorite teams, for the most part, commit a

1506
01:21:26,240 --> 01:21:29,360
Speaker 2: stupid penalty and all of a sudden, we lose football games.

1507
01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:32,320
Speaker 2: So we get angry at the Chiefs committing stupid penalties

1508
01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:35,600
Speaker 2: and winning football games. We get angry at Patrick Mahomes

1509
01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:38,559
Speaker 2: finding a way to win and getting some calls. But

1510
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:41,439
Speaker 2: that's the new NFL. Everybody gets calls throughout the course

1511
01:21:41,479 --> 01:21:43,439
Speaker 2: of the game. It's just more glaring when all we

1512
01:21:43,479 --> 01:21:44,840
Speaker 2: do is watch my homes all the time. So I

1513
01:21:44,920 --> 01:21:49,240
Speaker 2: just want to remind people that there's no refereeing bias.

1514
01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:52,120
Speaker 2: You're right, and I'm sitting here with the I'm wearing

1515
01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:55,240
Speaker 2: a Raiders shirt, Raider shorts, Raiders sweats, with the Riders

1516
01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:57,719
Speaker 2: helmet right next to me. If anybody in the world's

1517
01:21:57,720 --> 01:22:00,519
Speaker 2: gonna screen bias, it should be I'm pretty sure my

1518
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:05,000
Speaker 2: underwear has Raiders on it somewhere. If anybody screams bias,

1519
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:07,920
Speaker 2: it's me. It just y'all, it doesn't exist. The numbers

1520
01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:10,920
Speaker 2: don't show it. It isn't there, So quit the narrative

1521
01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:12,800
Speaker 2: and just start to appreciate that you're watching a great

1522
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:13,920
Speaker 2: football team.

1523
01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:18,360
Speaker 4: No, dude, you're spotle on correct. You are you're you're

1524
01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:20,720
Speaker 4: you're you're right. I mean the numbers bear it out.

1525
01:22:20,760 --> 01:22:25,000
Speaker 4: It's exactly what it is. Everybody just looked at someday.

1526
01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:31,000
Speaker 4: It's amazing how last weekend a crystallized with those two plays,

1527
01:22:32,240 --> 01:22:32,840
Speaker 4: the whole thing.

1528
01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:33,360
Speaker 3: Yep.

1529
01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:38,320
Speaker 4: Just it was like that's it or done all of

1530
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:43,200
Speaker 4: a sudden, it in one with one flag, right or

1531
01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:43,919
Speaker 4: two flags.

1532
01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:48,120
Speaker 3: The Halls went from beloved to reviled.

1533
01:22:49,240 --> 01:22:51,320
Speaker 2: And like, the weird part about that is like like

1534
01:22:51,479 --> 01:22:54,120
Speaker 2: Brady got calls all the time. Hell, you can make

1535
01:22:54,160 --> 01:22:56,519
Speaker 2: an argument that in the most famous shot of Michael

1536
01:22:56,600 --> 01:23:00,280
Speaker 2: Jordan's career, he pushed off, like, superstars get called. What

1537
01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:02,679
Speaker 2: the hell do we want? Quarterbacks get calls in this league.

1538
01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:05,599
Speaker 2: Superstars get calls if you if you even so much

1539
01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:08,720
Speaker 2: as burp towards a quarterback when you're trying to hit them,

1540
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:11,080
Speaker 2: you're gonna get a call. Like that's just that's the

1541
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:14,920
Speaker 2: way it goes. Like I understand people freaking out, but

1542
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:18,800
Speaker 2: like I have some understanding here that this happens all

1543
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:21,559
Speaker 2: the time, like all the time. And yes, this is

1544
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:23,760
Speaker 2: when somebody inevitably is gonna tweet me and say, well,

1545
01:23:23,800 --> 01:23:26,880
Speaker 2: they didn't give Lamar the call on this. Okay, y'all

1546
01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:29,280
Speaker 2: want to sit here and pick out individual instances where

1547
01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:31,960
Speaker 2: refs could have called something or didn't call something. Man,

1548
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:36,280
Speaker 2: that's just that's small that that happens. Refs make mistakes.

1549
01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:39,880
Speaker 2: Refs are human. Ref's miscalls reVC people flop. That's why

1550
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:42,200
Speaker 2: flopping exists, because you're trying to get the ref to

1551
01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:44,800
Speaker 2: make a mistake. So you know, like it's just, oh,

1552
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:47,880
Speaker 2: this is exhausting, man, it's exhausting. Dude.

1553
01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:50,320
Speaker 3: I feel you, man, I do I feel you.

1554
01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:55,479
Speaker 4: I was laughing because I sent FITZI like all people

1555
01:23:55,560 --> 01:24:01,920
Speaker 4: val use AI for to create great photos.

1556
01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:03,200
Speaker 3: Right, the memes.

1557
01:24:03,680 --> 01:24:05,479
Speaker 2: I love this part of AI. It's my favorite part

1558
01:24:05,479 --> 01:24:06,040
Speaker 2: of me AI.

1559
01:24:06,439 --> 01:24:11,760
Speaker 4: Right, it's like, uh, crock, uh make me put make

1560
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:20,880
Speaker 4: me a picture of Patrick Mahomes having beers with officials. Uh,

1561
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:23,560
Speaker 4: you know, so my body was doing that to me constantly.

1562
01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:26,920
Speaker 4: So I had a bunch of them pictures that were set,

1563
01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:28,280
Speaker 4: so I sent them over to fits you while he

1564
01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:32,000
Speaker 4: was going on his rant his Uh the chiefs are right.

1565
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:34,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're good. Those are those are good. Those are good, dude,

1566
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:39,160
Speaker 2: they're good pictures as well played. And I I it's

1567
01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:42,080
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes I think it's just easier to convince

1568
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:45,679
Speaker 2: yourself that there's a bias than there it is to actually,

1569
01:24:46,479 --> 01:24:48,479
Speaker 2: you know, turn around and just say, oh, they're better.

1570
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:52,040
Speaker 2: Like that's the funny part. Like it is easier to say, oh,

1571
01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:53,880
Speaker 2: there's a bias than just to be like, you know what,

1572
01:24:54,200 --> 01:24:56,439
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes, he's the best player in the world right

1573
01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:57,280
Speaker 2: now by far.

1574
01:24:57,800 --> 01:25:03,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I dude, you're you're you're you're right. Man. Everything

1575
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:07,160
Speaker 3: you say is you're right, you know, I mean it is.

1576
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:12,519
Speaker 4: And they're they're just so buttoned up, they're so well coached,

1577
01:25:14,320 --> 01:25:17,120
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, all right, So let's let's dive

1578
01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:21,920
Speaker 4: into the into the matchup. So let's look at at

1579
01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:25,200
Speaker 4: Buffalo for a second, because truthfully, I think this thing

1580
01:25:25,280 --> 01:25:28,040
Speaker 4: is as close and obviously to two point games, so

1581
01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:32,800
Speaker 4: two point line. So everybody agrees it's it's really hard

1582
01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:34,719
Speaker 4: to figure this out.

1583
01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:39,400
Speaker 3: The only thing is forget all that.

1584
01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:42,640
Speaker 4: What you talked about the officials is I don't know

1585
01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:46,240
Speaker 4: how Kansas City has shown you all year long that

1586
01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:47,639
Speaker 4: they figure out a way to win.

1587
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:50,320
Speaker 3: So how does that change?

1588
01:25:52,160 --> 01:25:56,599
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, and uh, Anthony argtam. What is if I

1589
01:25:56,640 --> 01:25:59,840
Speaker 2: walked into a bar and I said shots, what's the

1590
01:25:59,840 --> 01:26:01,720
Speaker 2: one shot that I would try and get you that

1591
01:26:01,840 --> 01:26:04,240
Speaker 2: you would say no to? That you would absolutely pass on.

1592
01:26:04,320 --> 01:26:06,160
Speaker 2: You will not try that, You will not drink this shot.

1593
01:26:06,200 --> 01:26:07,800
Speaker 2: What is the one liquor that I cannot get you

1594
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:08,519
Speaker 2: to have a shot of?

1595
01:26:09,360 --> 01:26:10,200
Speaker 3: Uh?

1596
01:26:10,240 --> 01:26:14,799
Speaker 4: Well, I have a anti Voka thing, okay. But also,

1597
01:26:14,960 --> 01:26:19,720
Speaker 4: like you know, any of those rumpelments, I won't do

1598
01:26:20,320 --> 01:26:22,920
Speaker 4: in sam Buca or at is that, I won't do

1599
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:23,479
Speaker 4: that either.

1600
01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:26,120
Speaker 3: I'll do to kill all day long.

1601
01:26:27,520 --> 01:26:31,040
Speaker 2: I love, I love, I'm all in on Sambuca and Rumbel,

1602
01:26:31,080 --> 01:26:33,559
Speaker 2: Mitz and Jaeger like the child that I am, but yeah,

1603
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:38,120
Speaker 2: I can't do it the next time. The next time, anybody,

1604
01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:41,679
Speaker 2: not that you've done this, but anybody, the next time,

1605
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:45,559
Speaker 2: anybody wants to tell me that Travis Kelce is shot.

1606
01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:48,240
Speaker 2: Before you make that take, you should have to take

1607
01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:50,439
Speaker 2: a shot of your least favorite liquor just to think

1608
01:26:50,439 --> 01:26:52,439
Speaker 2: about what you're about to say. Because this is the

1609
01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:55,720
Speaker 2: second year in a row where like people all year, oh,

1610
01:26:55,760 --> 01:26:58,719
Speaker 2: I don't know, Travis Kelce looks old, he looks tired,

1611
01:26:58,760 --> 01:27:01,240
Speaker 2: he looks washed, he's not doing anything. Then what do

1612
01:27:01,320 --> 01:27:03,280
Speaker 2: we get in the playoff game? Travis kelcey like four

1613
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:05,920
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy two catches for eighty three and twenty

1614
01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:08,080
Speaker 2: two yards all in one game, which would be a record.

1615
01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:11,360
Speaker 2: But I look at this, and the funny thing is

1616
01:27:11,479 --> 01:27:13,559
Speaker 2: every year people are like, oh, the Chiefs don't have

1617
01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:16,000
Speaker 2: any offense. Kelsey shot, He's not gonna be able to

1618
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:17,960
Speaker 2: do it. Then we get to the playoffs when he

1619
01:27:18,040 --> 01:27:20,519
Speaker 2: actually has to give a dam and all of a sudden,

1620
01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:22,919
Speaker 2: you know, you look at what happens in the playoffs,

1621
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:27,400
Speaker 2: his numbers go skyrocketting up like before we pronounced him dead.

1622
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:29,519
Speaker 2: Next year we should all have to take a shot

1623
01:27:29,520 --> 01:27:31,680
Speaker 2: of our least favorite liquor to think about what we're

1624
01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:34,000
Speaker 2: about to say and then decide if we still want

1625
01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:37,600
Speaker 2: to give the take. And just Kelsey is dynamic and

1626
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:40,519
Speaker 2: was last week and and still has everything left in

1627
01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:42,200
Speaker 2: the tank that it needs to to be a dynamic

1628
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:44,519
Speaker 2: part of this football game. So somebody explained to me

1629
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:47,000
Speaker 2: how you're gonna beat Kansas City in a close game.

1630
01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:49,599
Speaker 2: Somebody explained to me how you're gonna throttle down Mahomes

1631
01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:51,640
Speaker 2: in a close game. Somebody explained to me how you're

1632
01:27:51,680 --> 01:27:53,960
Speaker 2: gonna put up points against that defense in a close game.

1633
01:27:54,160 --> 01:27:56,160
Speaker 2: And then somebody explained to me how you're gonna prevent

1634
01:27:56,240 --> 01:27:59,200
Speaker 2: Travis Kelce from getting three or four of those Oh

1635
01:27:59,200 --> 01:28:01,200
Speaker 2: my god, how the heck did he do that again?

1636
01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:03,599
Speaker 2: Catches throughout the course of the game, don't. I don't

1637
01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:05,960
Speaker 2: see how that happens. And that's why Kansas City's gonna win,

1638
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:08,200
Speaker 2: even though I think Buffalo's a better football team.

1639
01:28:09,240 --> 01:28:15,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, now here's how I if I make the

1640
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:16,400
Speaker 4: case for Kansas City.

1641
01:28:16,479 --> 01:28:17,920
Speaker 3: I'll make the case for Buffalo in a minute.

1642
01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:19,640
Speaker 4: But if I make the case for Kansas City, I

1643
01:28:19,720 --> 01:28:27,759
Speaker 4: say they fixed their line issues right, like putting Tuney

1644
01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:31,200
Speaker 4: out has really kind of fixed that their line issues

1645
01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:36,400
Speaker 4: were tough. Bill's defense is great, is good. It's not

1646
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:42,439
Speaker 4: like this avalanche of defense, right, So, I know you

1647
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:45,560
Speaker 4: got von Miller. I know you can pressure the quarterback.

1648
01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:50,840
Speaker 4: They're good tackling defense. Sean McK deffot's a great defensive coach.

1649
01:28:51,600 --> 01:28:55,960
Speaker 4: But like they they I don't think they completely exploit

1650
01:28:56,680 --> 01:29:01,960
Speaker 4: the Casey offensive line. And again there I like their

1651
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:04,720
Speaker 4: skill guys because I like the fact that you have

1652
01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:11,639
Speaker 4: Worthy and Hollywood Brown now and Hopkins and Kelsey and

1653
01:29:11,880 --> 01:29:18,400
Speaker 4: both backs. Uh, you know, I think that they're offensively

1654
01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:22,040
Speaker 4: in a good place. Probably they're among the best place

1655
01:29:22,080 --> 01:29:27,840
Speaker 4: they've been all season. And then defensively they're good. Like

1656
01:29:28,120 --> 01:29:30,040
Speaker 4: I don't know that you're gonna be able to go

1657
01:29:30,200 --> 01:29:32,479
Speaker 4: nuts like Cook is gonna go nuts, like you're gonna

1658
01:29:32,479 --> 01:29:37,439
Speaker 4: need Josh Allen to be outrageous. And again, the Buffalo

1659
01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:39,800
Speaker 4: receivers are just okay.

1660
01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:43,040
Speaker 2: I think the other part of this is that what

1661
01:29:43,240 --> 01:29:46,439
Speaker 2: four times, maybe five times in this game, Patrick Mahomes

1662
01:29:46,520 --> 01:29:48,160
Speaker 2: is gonna roll out and he's gonna have to make

1663
01:29:48,200 --> 01:29:50,439
Speaker 2: a play to save a drive, and he's gonna do it.

1664
01:29:50,920 --> 01:29:53,840
Speaker 2: That's really like he's just he's gonna do it. And

1665
01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:57,240
Speaker 2: whether that's a stupid four yard run when you think

1666
01:29:57,280 --> 01:29:59,679
Speaker 2: everybody's covered and it shouldn't be there, or whether that's

1667
01:29:59,680 --> 01:30:02,800
Speaker 2: a stupid four yard pass when you're finally stopping him

1668
01:30:02,840 --> 01:30:04,400
Speaker 2: from getting out of the pocket and you find some

1669
01:30:04,439 --> 01:30:08,439
Speaker 2: way to get to I mean, just the throw last

1670
01:30:08,479 --> 01:30:11,519
Speaker 2: week where he's being dragged down and he is as

1671
01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:14,920
Speaker 2: vertical or as horizontal as as Superman and he just

1672
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:17,639
Speaker 2: throws a perfect pass to Travis Kelcey in the end zone.

1673
01:30:17,920 --> 01:30:20,160
Speaker 2: Is the difference in this game. It's just it's what

1674
01:30:20,360 --> 01:30:23,400
Speaker 2: he's capable of doing time and time again to find

1675
01:30:23,439 --> 01:30:25,320
Speaker 2: the open guy when a play is about to go.

1676
01:30:25,360 --> 01:30:27,240
Speaker 2: And we talked earlier about one of the beautiful things

1677
01:30:27,240 --> 01:30:30,559
Speaker 2: for Jade Daniels is that the game, the game has

1678
01:30:30,600 --> 01:30:33,599
Speaker 2: slowed down for him already, but his process never speeds up.

1679
01:30:33,640 --> 01:30:36,559
Speaker 2: Like when the pocket's collapsing around him, he doesn't speed up.

1680
01:30:36,760 --> 01:30:39,120
Speaker 2: That's mahomes to a t like it just doesn't feel

1681
01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:42,800
Speaker 2: like anything impacts the way he's going about making the play.

1682
01:30:42,840 --> 01:30:45,240
Speaker 2: And that's that's gonna happen four or five times in

1683
01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:47,200
Speaker 2: this game. It's gonna extend four or five drives and

1684
01:30:47,240 --> 01:30:49,120
Speaker 2: it's the reason that the Chiefs are gonna win and

1685
01:30:49,160 --> 01:30:50,440
Speaker 2: everybody's gonna be frustrated.

1686
01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:58,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm with you. I mean, look, kidsas City. The

1687
01:30:58,439 --> 01:31:02,640
Speaker 4: Bills won on it was November seventeenth. It was a

1688
01:31:02,680 --> 01:31:06,960
Speaker 4: great matchup. The Bills win. It's thirty twenty one. In

1689
01:31:07,040 --> 01:31:13,599
Speaker 4: the game, Josh Allen was Superman right. He rushed twelve

1690
01:31:13,640 --> 01:31:17,240
Speaker 4: times for fifty five yards. They helped Cook nine for

1691
01:31:17,320 --> 01:31:20,000
Speaker 4: twenty that game. And I don't think Cook's gonna have

1692
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:23,040
Speaker 4: a good game on Sunday either. I think it's gonna

1693
01:31:23,080 --> 01:31:27,320
Speaker 4: be Josh Allen having to do everything again. I mean,

1694
01:31:27,439 --> 01:31:31,200
Speaker 4: in that game, they got five catches from Curtis Samuel

1695
01:31:31,560 --> 01:31:34,439
Speaker 4: and four from Dawson knox Man.

1696
01:31:34,520 --> 01:31:39,080
Speaker 2: That's that's it's wild when you when you think about

1697
01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:41,920
Speaker 2: it that way and you think about that game. Mahomes

1698
01:31:41,920 --> 01:31:44,720
Speaker 2: had a couple of picks in that game, like, yeah,

1699
01:31:44,720 --> 01:31:47,920
Speaker 2: they got the thirty to twenty one win, but really

1700
01:31:47,920 --> 01:31:50,519
Speaker 2: felt like everything had to sort of break their way

1701
01:31:50,560 --> 01:31:53,960
Speaker 2: to do that. And that game was in Buffalo, if

1702
01:31:54,000 --> 01:31:55,080
Speaker 2: I if I really.

1703
01:31:54,800 --> 01:31:57,200
Speaker 3: It was yeah, yeah, I mean it was in Buffalo.

1704
01:31:57,439 --> 01:32:00,880
Speaker 4: They held the ball for ten more minutes, close to

1705
01:32:00,920 --> 01:32:06,520
Speaker 4: ten more minutes. You mentioned the two turnovers by Mahomes

1706
01:32:07,360 --> 01:32:09,639
Speaker 4: and remember that's when they that's when they were having

1707
01:32:10,120 --> 01:32:12,519
Speaker 4: major O line issues.

1708
01:32:12,720 --> 01:32:13,920
Speaker 3: Kansas City, yep.

1709
01:32:15,200 --> 01:32:21,400
Speaker 2: God, and you I I want something new. We all

1710
01:32:21,439 --> 01:32:24,280
Speaker 2: want something new. Like I get that if you're not

1711
01:32:24,320 --> 01:32:27,120
Speaker 2: a Kansas City fan, it's certainly become easy to turn

1712
01:32:27,120 --> 01:32:29,760
Speaker 2: around and look, if you're the Bills, you want to

1713
01:32:29,760 --> 01:32:32,320
Speaker 2: talk about an organization that deserves it. You want to

1714
01:32:32,320 --> 01:32:38,599
Speaker 2: talk about Josh Allen, Like, yeah, I mean there are

1715
01:32:38,680 --> 01:32:41,879
Speaker 2: so many And last year at this time, I was screaming,

1716
01:32:41,920 --> 01:32:43,720
Speaker 2: if not now, then when if you can't beat the

1717
01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:46,320
Speaker 2: Chiefs at home, when are you're going to ever get

1718
01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:48,120
Speaker 2: it done? And now here we city a year later

1719
01:32:48,600 --> 01:32:51,559
Speaker 2: and we're you know, rinsing this running back. It's rinse

1720
01:32:51,600 --> 01:32:54,839
Speaker 2: and repeat the same thing all over again. And it's

1721
01:32:54,880 --> 01:32:57,800
Speaker 2: it's just this is the wild context that we all

1722
01:32:57,840 --> 01:33:00,840
Speaker 2: need to remember when we talk about legacy at all

1723
01:33:00,840 --> 01:33:04,160
Speaker 2: of these things that are overblown, like there are just

1724
01:33:04,240 --> 01:33:06,160
Speaker 2: there are moments that we have to remember that great

1725
01:33:06,160 --> 01:33:10,000
Speaker 2: players don't always reach the pinnacle of their sport if

1726
01:33:10,040 --> 01:33:12,680
Speaker 2: they are simply facing the greatest of all time at

1727
01:33:12,680 --> 01:33:15,000
Speaker 2: the same time. And I know that, you know many

1728
01:33:15,040 --> 01:33:16,800
Speaker 2: people don't want to crown my Home is that yet?

1729
01:33:16,800 --> 01:33:18,880
Speaker 2: But I think by the end of it he will be.

1730
01:33:19,120 --> 01:33:22,000
Speaker 2: And this suddenly becomes the era of Patrick Ewing and

1731
01:33:22,080 --> 01:33:25,880
Speaker 2: Charles Barklay. This is You've got Michael Jordan over here

1732
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:28,640
Speaker 2: just going over and over and over again, and what

1733
01:33:28,680 --> 01:33:31,360
Speaker 2: you've got is Ewing and Barkley sitting there with Lamar

1734
01:33:31,960 --> 01:33:34,680
Speaker 2: and Josh Allen trying to get their shot, trying to

1735
01:33:34,680 --> 01:33:37,000
Speaker 2: get their way, trying to get their opportunity. But man,

1736
01:33:37,280 --> 01:33:39,640
Speaker 2: they're just they're stuck in the same conference at the

1737
01:33:39,640 --> 01:33:42,880
Speaker 2: same time. With as I say every single week on

1738
01:33:42,920 --> 01:33:45,120
Speaker 2: this show, I think, what's going to turn out to

1739
01:33:45,160 --> 01:33:47,280
Speaker 2: be the greatest quarterback of all time? What's gonna end

1740
01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:49,479
Speaker 2: up being the greatest coach of all time? And it's

1741
01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:52,400
Speaker 2: currently at the very least the best defensive coordinator in

1742
01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:54,680
Speaker 2: the NFL and an all time defensive coordinator in the

1743
01:33:54,720 --> 01:33:59,559
Speaker 2: eyes of many, like beating that Colly, Like I would

1744
01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:01,720
Speaker 2: love to say the Bills win. I would also love

1745
01:34:01,760 --> 01:34:05,560
Speaker 2: to be grown up enough to step back and just appreciate,

1746
01:34:05,720 --> 01:34:07,840
Speaker 2: like if we see the Chiefs on a three peat,

1747
01:34:08,320 --> 01:34:10,559
Speaker 2: my god, J'll tell your grand kids about this team.

1748
01:34:10,600 --> 01:34:12,920
Speaker 2: So like that That's what we should be focused on,

1749
01:34:13,040 --> 01:34:15,679
Speaker 2: not whether or not we don't like to call them mahomes.

1750
01:34:15,720 --> 01:34:17,639
Speaker 2: We should be focused on the greatness of what Kansas

1751
01:34:17,680 --> 01:34:20,120
Speaker 2: City has built. I mean, I don't I've never seen

1752
01:34:20,160 --> 01:34:23,519
Speaker 2: a team that would fifteen regular season wins be trashed

1753
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:25,320
Speaker 2: the way the Chiefs are trashed, and it just makes

1754
01:34:25,360 --> 01:34:25,800
Speaker 2: no sense.

1755
01:34:26,200 --> 01:34:30,040
Speaker 4: Nah, I figured your spot on, man, I do. I

1756
01:34:30,080 --> 01:34:33,320
Speaker 4: think it's what listen, I was funny I was talking to.

1757
01:34:34,800 --> 01:34:39,439
Speaker 4: There was a Eagle's former president, guy named Joe Banner

1758
01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:43,160
Speaker 4: who spent a while in the league. He he's with

1759
01:34:43,240 --> 01:34:48,880
Speaker 4: Jeffrey Lourie in the nineties and then up until twenty twelve.

1760
01:34:48,920 --> 01:34:51,719
Speaker 3: Thirteen. He hired Andy Reid.

1761
01:34:52,360 --> 01:34:57,640
Speaker 4: He hired Sean McDermott, was instrumental and making Sean McDermott

1762
01:34:57,920 --> 01:35:01,800
Speaker 4: the defensive coordinator. After Jim Johnson pass away, he hired

1763
01:35:01,800 --> 01:35:04,639
Speaker 4: Howie Roseman. In fact, he told me a great story

1764
01:35:04,640 --> 01:35:08,400
Speaker 4: about Howie Roseman. He said that when Howie was at

1765
01:35:08,760 --> 01:35:12,600
Speaker 4: University of Florida, he wanted to be a GM so

1766
01:35:12,640 --> 01:35:15,240
Speaker 4: bad he wanted to be in the league. He used

1767
01:35:15,240 --> 01:35:18,719
Speaker 4: to write like three, four or five letters a week

1768
01:35:19,960 --> 01:35:23,880
Speaker 4: all across the NFL. So Joe and Mike Tannenbaum from

1769
01:35:23,960 --> 01:35:29,000
Speaker 4: the Jets would talk about Howie and they used to

1770
01:35:29,120 --> 01:35:33,680
Speaker 4: joke about him like this, not this kid writing us

1771
01:35:33,800 --> 01:35:35,920
Speaker 4: letters like, you know, the whole thing. So one day

1772
01:35:35,960 --> 01:35:39,800
Speaker 4: Mike Tannebom tells Joe hey Man, well, I'm want to

1773
01:35:39,840 --> 01:35:44,720
Speaker 4: have lunch with that kid, Howie, and he goes, all right,

1774
01:35:44,760 --> 01:35:47,599
Speaker 4: well make sure you're do it in a public place, right,

1775
01:35:48,479 --> 01:35:52,519
Speaker 4: So Anton the lunch, Tannebom goes, Yo, you should talk

1776
01:35:52,560 --> 01:35:55,680
Speaker 4: to him. He goes, I don't have anything, but you

1777
01:35:55,800 --> 01:35:58,760
Speaker 4: might like him and he could fit you guys. So

1778
01:35:58,880 --> 01:36:03,280
Speaker 4: sure enough, Joe has it opening and hires Howie Roseman

1779
01:36:04,520 --> 01:36:10,080
Speaker 4: and then his story is wild, but he hired McDermott,

1780
01:36:10,600 --> 01:36:14,639
Speaker 4: he hired Andy Reid, right, and so we get into

1781
01:36:14,640 --> 01:36:19,880
Speaker 4: this whole conversation about you know, Bill's chiefs, and he's like,

1782
01:36:20,920 --> 01:36:25,280
Speaker 4: I gotta tell you, I love both these guys so much.

1783
01:36:25,760 --> 01:36:29,920
Speaker 4: He said, I'll take Sean only because and he's been

1784
01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:33,639
Speaker 4: there so many times and Spags because he up hired

1785
01:36:33,680 --> 01:36:37,240
Speaker 4: Spag like Spags and Andy were close. So he's like,

1786
01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:41,720
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna go Sean because of the storyline, and

1787
01:36:42,520 --> 01:36:44,920
Speaker 4: you know, I was thinking about it, like the same way.

1788
01:36:45,800 --> 01:36:50,120
Speaker 4: How in the world, How in the world can you

1789
01:36:50,240 --> 01:36:55,720
Speaker 4: be anti Andy Reid? Like people rip why his bum

1790
01:36:56,040 --> 01:36:59,680
Speaker 4: you know, bubb larushki right, like when you when you

1791
01:36:59,680 --> 01:37:03,640
Speaker 4: look back and when Andy Reid's done, He's been the

1792
01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:07,320
Speaker 4: best coach in the NFL. I mean him in Belichick dude, Like,

1793
01:37:07,800 --> 01:37:10,840
Speaker 4: you know, he has all kinds of wins. He's a

Speaker 4: His players love him. He's a great coach. All he

1797
01:37:21,520 --> 01:37:22,120
Speaker 4: does is win.

1798
01:37:22,640 --> 01:37:25,479
Speaker 2: Totally agree, totally. It's what makes it maddening. As a

1799
01:37:25,560 --> 01:37:27,519

1800

Speaker 3: It, I know.

1803
01:37:34,479 --> 01:37:37,719
Speaker 4: And on the other side, McDermott's the same guy. He's

1807
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:53,880
Speaker 4: It reminds you. It's it's Patriots and Colts all over again. Right,

1808
01:37:53,960 --> 01:37:59,240

1814
01:38:21,439 --> 01:38:25,040
Speaker 2: Uh Anthony Gargano, can I can I take us off

1815
01:38:25,080 --> 01:38:27,280
Speaker 2: course for a second response to something that we were

1816
01:38:27,720 --> 01:38:30,599
Speaker 2: tweeted that I think is interesting? Quarterback hits in roughing

1817
01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:34,479
Speaker 2: the penalty roughing penalties, And Chris tweeted us and I

1818
01:38:34,479 --> 01:38:38,280
Speaker 2: appreciate that, listing Patrick Mahomes with one hundred and nine

1819
01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:42,160
Speaker 2: hits and seven roughing penalties, and then listed several other

1820
01:38:42,240 --> 01:38:44,559
Speaker 2: notable quarterbacks, not the least of which Tom Brady two

1821
01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:47,880
Speaker 2: roughing penalties on forty three hits, and using this I

1822
01:38:47,880 --> 01:38:51,240
Speaker 2: think is proof that see there are because the next

1823
01:38:51,400 --> 01:38:53,840
Speaker 2: highest of any of the quarterbacks on the list, Josh Allen,

1824
01:38:53,880 --> 01:38:57,519
Speaker 2: had two roughing penalties. Patrick Mahomes has seven. Okay, so

1825
01:38:57,560 --> 01:39:00,240
Speaker 2: a couple of things here. Number one, let's not forget

1826
01:39:00,320 --> 01:39:03,439
Speaker 2: that all it took was somebody hitting Tom Brady low

1827
01:39:03,800 --> 01:39:06,840
Speaker 2: and they changed the entire rule in the NFL, like

1828
01:39:06,920 --> 01:39:10,040
Speaker 2: they changed how you can attack the quarterback simply to

1829
01:39:10,080 --> 01:39:13,120
Speaker 2: make sure that Tom Brady, the immobile guy, never got

1830
01:39:13,200 --> 01:39:16,479
Speaker 2: hit below the knee again. Right, Like, so you want

1831
01:39:16,520 --> 01:39:19,719
Speaker 2: to talk about like bigger than a roughing penalty, that's

1832
01:39:19,920 --> 01:39:23,000
Speaker 2: a league coming in and changing the rule to protect

1833
01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:25,120
Speaker 2: a quarterback is the ultimate. But the other side of this,

1834
01:39:25,280 --> 01:39:27,559
Speaker 2: like this is what fans look at as a roughing

1835
01:39:27,600 --> 01:39:30,360
Speaker 2: penalty must mean something. But what we don't have there

1836
01:39:30,520 --> 01:39:33,200
Speaker 2: is context. The reason the numbers that gave out earlier

1837
01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:36,920
Speaker 2: mattered is it was the same officiating crew in the

1838
01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:40,479
Speaker 2: same game. So every crew calls things differently. So when

1839
01:39:40,520 --> 01:39:43,920
Speaker 2: I say that the Chiefs have the fourth worst differential

1840
01:39:43,920 --> 01:39:47,400
Speaker 2: in penalties and that they've had twenty more automatic first

1841
01:39:47,479 --> 01:39:50,240
Speaker 2: downs given to their opponents than they have gotten over

1842
01:39:50,280 --> 01:39:53,200
Speaker 2: the course of Mahomes's career, the reason that those matter

1843
01:39:53,280 --> 01:39:55,040
Speaker 2: is they have the full context of who was calling

1844
01:39:55,120 --> 01:39:59,040
Speaker 2: the game. Some crews call things tight, some cruise call

1845
01:39:59,120 --> 01:40:03,000
Speaker 2: things loose. So having the actual the Chiefs and their

1846
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:05,680
Speaker 2: opponent in this game, who had more penalty yards, the

1847
01:40:05,760 --> 01:40:08,639
Speaker 2: chief and their opponents in this game, who got more

1848
01:40:08,680 --> 01:40:12,000
Speaker 2: automatic first downs, those numbers across the board. When you're

1849
01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:15,799
Speaker 2: talking one officiating crew in one game, opponent versus Chiefs

1850
01:40:16,120 --> 01:40:19,040
Speaker 2: show that there is no actual advantage to the Chiefs.

1851
01:40:19,080 --> 01:40:23,360
Speaker 2: So taking an arbitrary stat like roughing penalties to Patrick Mahomes,

1852
01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:26,960
Speaker 2: I mean, we have no idea. We'd have to go

1853
01:40:27,000 --> 01:40:28,800
Speaker 2: back and look at all hundred and nine hits, how

1854
01:40:28,800 --> 01:40:30,280
Speaker 2: many of them should have been roughing, how many of

1855
01:40:30,320 --> 01:40:33,160
Speaker 2: them shouldn't have been roughing? Like the amount of analysis

1856
01:40:33,200 --> 01:40:36,120
Speaker 2: that that's just a data point. It's much more complete

1857
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,600
Speaker 2: as a data point to look at the full spectrum

1858
01:40:38,880 --> 01:40:42,519
Speaker 2: of one game opponent and Chiefs, same crew. How is

1859
01:40:42,560 --> 01:40:45,040
Speaker 2: the game called? And those numbers show that there's no

1860
01:40:45,120 --> 01:40:47,640
Speaker 2: advantage Kansas City. That's me beat a Statnard.

1861
01:40:48,040 --> 01:40:51,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, listen, yeah, I thought you answered that very well

1862
01:40:51,360 --> 01:40:55,120
Speaker 4: because Chris did bring up, you know, a good point,

1863
01:40:55,400 --> 01:40:57,599
Speaker 4: and it was a good counter by it.

1864
01:40:57,640 --> 01:41:01,639
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I mean I think you watch it.

1865
01:41:01,680 --> 01:41:05,439
Speaker 4: And I'm not a conspiracy theorist, so either I am

1866
01:41:05,479 --> 01:41:11,160
Speaker 4: a lemming, right, I'm gullible, but I just don't believe

1867
01:41:11,200 --> 01:41:15,759
Speaker 4: in conspiracy theorists. I don't believe that the league wants

1868
01:41:15,840 --> 01:41:19,040
Speaker 4: Patrick Holmes. I don't think the league cares. If the

1869
01:41:19,160 --> 01:41:24,160
Speaker 4: league cared orchestrated the Lions would be playing. There would

1870
01:41:24,200 --> 01:41:27,519
Speaker 4: be a There would be a game in Detroit tomorrow,

1871
01:41:27,680 --> 01:41:28,560
Speaker 4: not Philadelphia.

1872
01:41:29,320 --> 01:41:30,519
Speaker 3: I mean the league.

1873
01:41:30,760 --> 01:41:32,800
Speaker 2: If the league cared, would they let a team like

1874
01:41:32,840 --> 01:41:35,320
Speaker 2: the Giants be bad and the Jets in a huge

1875
01:41:35,360 --> 01:41:40,440
Speaker 2: TV market like this is where I'm the anti conspiracy

1876
01:41:40,479 --> 01:41:43,040
Speaker 2: theorist in ninety nine percent of the world. And I've

1877
01:41:43,080 --> 01:41:44,920
Speaker 2: told you this before, but you know, I grew up

1878
01:41:44,920 --> 01:41:47,479
Speaker 2: in Vegas as a kid, and both of my parents

1879
01:41:47,520 --> 01:41:51,720
Speaker 2: were worked at casinos. My parents both at management level

1880
01:41:51,760 --> 01:41:54,040
Speaker 2: jobs and casinos for many years. And it was funny

1881
01:41:54,040 --> 01:41:56,519
Speaker 2: when we moved out of Vegas and everybody kept saying, oh,

1882
01:41:56,680 --> 01:41:59,360
Speaker 2: casinos are rigged. My mom, who's a very blunt woman.

1883
01:41:59,400 --> 01:42:03,360
Speaker 2: To this day, my mom will quickly said the same

1884
01:42:03,400 --> 01:42:05,280
Speaker 2: thing to friends and family and anybody that would ever

1885
01:42:05,360 --> 01:42:07,800
Speaker 2: say that. Her answer was always, it doesn't need to

1886
01:42:07,840 --> 01:42:10,360
Speaker 2: be rigged. They rely on the stupidity of the people

1887
01:42:10,400 --> 01:42:12,840
Speaker 2: that walk in the doors. And that is true. The

1888
01:42:13,720 --> 01:42:17,120
Speaker 2: lack of self control to Cambler's creates the advantage for

1889
01:42:17,160 --> 01:42:19,320
Speaker 2: the casinos above and beyond. They vantage they already having

1890
01:42:19,400 --> 01:42:22,040
Speaker 2: some of the games. They don't need to rig anything.

1891
01:42:22,080 --> 01:42:26,040
Speaker 2: They don't need a ball and a roulette wheel that

1892
01:42:26,160 --> 01:42:29,400
Speaker 2: is suddenly rigged, and the regulations and casinos are so

1893
01:42:29,800 --> 01:42:33,360
Speaker 2: wildly stringent that even if they tried, like whatever they

1894
01:42:33,360 --> 01:42:35,519
Speaker 2: did in the fifties is not what they do now.

1895
01:42:35,640 --> 01:42:39,440
Speaker 2: So I grew up with a very good, comprehensive understanding

1896
01:42:39,439 --> 01:42:41,519
Speaker 2: of that, and I think at that every time somebody

1897
01:42:41,520 --> 01:42:43,400
Speaker 2: comes around and says, well, the NFL's rigged. If you

1898
01:42:43,520 --> 01:42:46,800
Speaker 2: believe the NFL is rigged, stop watching it or stop

1899
01:42:46,840 --> 01:42:49,120
Speaker 2: complaining about it. If you believe the NFL is truly

1900
01:42:49,160 --> 01:42:52,760
Speaker 2: the WWE, they treat it like the WWE. Just sit

1901
01:42:52,840 --> 01:42:55,320
Speaker 2: back and watch your storylines. But the other part of

1902
01:42:55,320 --> 01:42:57,599
Speaker 2: it is, guess what. The league doesn't have to do

1903
01:42:57,640 --> 01:43:00,840
Speaker 2: that because, unlike every other sport, matter who plays in

1904
01:43:00,880 --> 01:43:03,920
Speaker 2: the super Bowl, the world's gonna watch it like it's

1905
01:43:04,280 --> 01:43:06,759
Speaker 2: it's going to be a massive win, no matter who plays.

1906
01:43:06,800 --> 01:43:10,400
Speaker 2: And I constantly remind fans of this too when it

1907
01:43:10,439 --> 01:43:12,559
Speaker 2: comes to any of these sporting events that they believe

1908
01:43:12,560 --> 01:43:16,640
Speaker 2: the ESPN's rigged or ABC's rigged or Foxes rigged. Inventory

1909
01:43:16,680 --> 01:43:19,080
Speaker 2: for ad sales is where the money is made. That

1910
01:43:19,120 --> 01:43:23,680
Speaker 2: inventory is sold so far in advance, Yeah, so far

1911
01:43:23,720 --> 01:43:26,240
Speaker 2: in advance. Like the NFL doesn't care who's in the

1912
01:43:26,280 --> 01:43:28,880
Speaker 2: super Bowl because they've already made every dollar they're going

1913
01:43:28,920 --> 01:43:31,080
Speaker 2: to make off the Super Bowl. It's already done.

1914
01:43:31,400 --> 01:43:34,400
Speaker 4: So like, yeah, they were going to give backs, there's

1915
01:43:34,439 --> 01:43:35,400
Speaker 4: no bonuses.

1916
01:43:35,600 --> 01:43:38,679
Speaker 3: The money's the money. That's it. That's what it comes

1917
01:43:38,720 --> 01:43:41,720
Speaker 3: down to. And they're selling out you know, years in advance.

1918
01:43:42,120 --> 01:43:43,880
Speaker 2: Oh god, yeah, Like I mean we used to when

1919
01:43:43,920 --> 01:43:46,519
Speaker 2: I was traveling with Game Day they would sit at

1920
01:43:46,600 --> 01:43:48,160
Speaker 2: the beginning of the year and be like, entire ad

1921
01:43:48,360 --> 01:43:51,040
Speaker 2: inventory is sold. Guess what that means that it doesn't

1922
01:43:51,080 --> 01:43:54,200
Speaker 2: matter who wins a single college football game the amount

1923
01:43:54,200 --> 01:43:57,280
Speaker 2: of money, like ratings don't Actually, it's like the music business.

1924
01:43:57,280 --> 01:43:59,600
Speaker 2: A lot of people don't realize this, but in the

1925
01:43:59,680 --> 01:44:03,400
Speaker 2: music business, I can speak to this from my experience.

1926
01:44:04,160 --> 01:44:06,160
Speaker 2: You are not paid by how many people are in

1927
01:44:06,200 --> 01:44:12,360
Speaker 2: the crowd. You're paid an upfront fee to play a show. Right, So,

1928
01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:15,320
Speaker 2: if you are the band Perry when I was with

1929
01:44:15,400 --> 01:44:18,240
Speaker 2: the band Perry, and you're playing an arena, the promoter

1930
01:44:18,600 --> 01:44:21,160
Speaker 2: is the one that Live Nation in that situation books

1931
01:44:21,160 --> 01:44:23,880
Speaker 2: you and Live Nation pays you an upfront fee. That's

1932
01:44:23,920 --> 01:44:25,960
Speaker 2: what you're getting for playing that night. Doesn't matter if

1933
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:28,120
Speaker 2: there's ten people in the room, doesn't matter. If there's

1934
01:44:28,120 --> 01:44:30,040
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand people in the room, you got your

1935
01:44:30,080 --> 01:44:32,920
Speaker 2: upfront fee. Live Nation is the one that then turns around,

1936
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:35,559
Speaker 2: sets the pricing and makes their money wherever they're going

1937
01:44:35,600 --> 01:44:37,879
Speaker 2: to make their money. So if you think like a musician,

1938
01:44:37,880 --> 01:44:39,559
Speaker 2: like if you go to a see a show and

1939
01:44:39,600 --> 01:44:41,599
Speaker 2: none of the tickets are sold and you think, oh man,

1940
01:44:41,760 --> 01:44:44,799
Speaker 2: this artist is really struggling, Nope, artists still got their money.

1941
01:44:44,960 --> 01:44:48,479
Speaker 2: And TV's the same way. If nobody watches this weekend's

1942
01:44:48,479 --> 01:44:52,080
Speaker 2: football games, the networks that broadcast them will still get

1943
01:44:52,120 --> 01:44:54,439
Speaker 2: their money because the ad revenue has already made. And

1944
01:44:54,640 --> 01:44:57,519
Speaker 2: that's the conspiracy theory killer that nobody wants to acknowledge

1945
01:44:57,520 --> 01:44:58,320
Speaker 2: in these products.

1946
01:44:58,160 --> 01:44:59,160
Speaker 3: Now.

1947
01:44:59,360 --> 01:45:04,400
Speaker 4: In fairness, if an act doesn't sell out, it hurts

1948
01:45:04,439 --> 01:45:07,840
Speaker 4: their future and momentum, that sort of thing.

1949
01:45:07,960 --> 01:45:12,519
Speaker 2: Sure, but in real relationship too, like if we we

1950
01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:16,080
Speaker 2: did a tour in Canada that didn't sell well, and

1951
01:45:16,200 --> 01:45:19,200
Speaker 2: frankly we had to we turned around and chose to

1952
01:45:19,280 --> 01:45:21,680
Speaker 2: do some givebacks to some of those promoters because we

1953
01:45:21,720 --> 01:45:24,280
Speaker 2: wanted to make sure that we kept those promoters happy

1954
01:45:24,360 --> 01:45:26,679
Speaker 2: so that later in our career we could continue to play.

1955
01:45:26,800 --> 01:45:30,520
Speaker 2: Like that's certainly smart, Yes, there are long term ramifications

1956
01:45:30,560 --> 01:45:33,479
Speaker 2: to those sorts of things. But I mean, my god,

1957
01:45:33,520 --> 01:45:36,960
Speaker 2: like the NFL is not sitting here right now saying uh.

1958
01:45:37,120 --> 01:45:41,720
Speaker 4: Hm exactly, and the other thing, and even you know,

1959
01:45:41,760 --> 01:45:45,559
Speaker 4: we talk about college football being down and you know

1960
01:45:45,640 --> 01:45:50,400
Speaker 4: whatever these past ratings, it's still when you compare it

1961
01:45:50,439 --> 01:45:53,120
Speaker 4: to everything else, it's still a monster.

1962
01:45:53,600 --> 01:45:56,200
Speaker 3: Like it's still big, right, Like did number?

1963
01:45:56,280 --> 01:46:01,599
Speaker 4: Like television, if you look at at show, you're just

1964
01:46:01,760 --> 01:46:07,479
Speaker 4: not getting that kind of the viewership for your regular

1965
01:46:07,560 --> 01:46:12,280
Speaker 4: TV show. Sports sports is a huge deal when it

1966
01:46:12,280 --> 01:46:15,760
Speaker 4: comes to television. I mean, look, did you see the

1967
01:46:15,760 --> 01:46:19,280
Speaker 4: thing the top one hundred shows, they're all they're almost

1968
01:46:19,360 --> 01:46:23,360
Speaker 4: all football, like eighty five NFL and like ten college.

1969
01:46:24,040 --> 01:46:26,760
Speaker 2: That's where, you know, because you have to watch it

1970
01:46:26,800 --> 01:46:29,599
Speaker 2: live because it is still one of the few things.

1971
01:46:29,600 --> 01:46:31,080
Speaker 2: Sports are still one of the few things in the

1972
01:46:31,120 --> 01:46:34,800
Speaker 2: world that create water cooler conversation. Everybody has to flock

1973
01:46:34,840 --> 01:46:36,719
Speaker 2: to it. Everybody has to watch it. You can't DVR

1974
01:46:36,840 --> 01:46:39,000
Speaker 2: and watch it a week later. You know, you're not.

1975
01:46:39,600 --> 01:46:42,559
Speaker 2: You're not sitting there skipping through the ads like because

1976
01:46:42,960 --> 01:46:46,160
Speaker 2: because people still watch these things live. That's part of

1977
01:46:46,200 --> 01:46:49,120
Speaker 2: why everyone's always going to flock to it. It's part

1978
01:46:49,160 --> 01:46:51,720
Speaker 2: of why they make great money. It's part of why

1979
01:46:51,520 --> 01:46:55,479
Speaker 2: the ad revenue is just it's it's ridiculous, it's gross

1980
01:46:55,520 --> 01:46:57,400
Speaker 2: how much they make on some of these sporting events.

1981
01:46:57,439 --> 01:47:00,479
Speaker 2: And that's why you know constantly, yeah, even if you're

1982
01:47:00,479 --> 01:47:03,439
Speaker 2: college basketball, like over the course of this weekend, college

1983
01:47:03,439 --> 01:47:05,519
Speaker 2: basketball is not gonna be in the top one hundred badcast,

1984
01:47:05,560 --> 01:47:07,720
Speaker 2: but they still sell out that inventory because at the

1985
01:47:07,800 --> 01:47:10,880
Speaker 2: end of the day, advertisers know that if you you know,

1986
01:47:10,880 --> 01:47:13,200
Speaker 2: if you're buying an ad spot on below Deck on Bravo,

1987
01:47:13,680 --> 01:47:16,519
Speaker 2: somebody can just fast forward through it. Nobody's fast forward

1988
01:47:16,520 --> 01:47:20,520
Speaker 2: and through you know, the Yukon game tonight.

1989
01:47:19,800 --> 01:47:23,559
Speaker 4: Dude, speaking of college basketball. We got to turn the

1990
01:47:23,640 --> 01:47:28,800
Speaker 4: page and I'm looking forward to it. But this is

1991
01:47:28,840 --> 01:47:31,840
Speaker 4: the first Saturday without football, and I'm deprosed.

1992
01:47:32,200 --> 01:47:35,040
Speaker 2: That is that is wow that you know now that

1993
01:47:35,040 --> 01:47:38,519
Speaker 2: you've said, And it's funny because in my home studio,

1994
01:47:39,120 --> 01:47:45,320
Speaker 2: I've got the TV on and like everything I I

1995
01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:48,160
Speaker 2: it doesn't it doesn't compute that there's no football because

1996
01:47:48,160 --> 01:47:51,920
Speaker 2: Sports Center right now is showing Jaden Daniels and they're

1997
01:47:51,960 --> 01:47:54,360
Speaker 2: talking about football. So in my mind, I'm still in

1998
01:47:54,400 --> 01:47:57,080
Speaker 2: that process where it's like, oh yeah, after the show,

1999
01:47:57,160 --> 01:47:59,320
Speaker 2: you know there'll be there'll be football games on today.

2000
01:47:59,360 --> 01:48:08,360
Speaker 4: You're right, the first Saturday since August there's no games.

2001
01:48:10,479 --> 01:48:15,360
Speaker 4: Oh man, And it sucks Like I'm clean today too.

2002
01:48:16,680 --> 01:48:18,960
Speaker 4: I got, you know, I played last night. We had

2003
01:48:18,960 --> 01:48:23,720
Speaker 4: our basketball last night. I got baseball tomorrow morning. So

2004
01:48:23,840 --> 01:48:29,000
Speaker 4: I'm clean today. I actually am clean all day. Wow,

2005
01:48:29,439 --> 01:48:31,800
Speaker 4: I got, you know, I got no football. I mean,

2006
01:48:31,800 --> 01:48:34,840
Speaker 4: I'll watch college ball, but I have to. I didn't

2007
01:48:34,840 --> 01:48:38,200
Speaker 4: even look at the schedule, but there's no there's no football.

2008
01:48:38,200 --> 01:48:40,560
Speaker 4: It's killing me, Like I'm already thinking about because I

2009
01:48:41,200 --> 01:48:43,360
Speaker 4: look at me, like when we go to break, I'll go,

2010
01:48:43,800 --> 01:48:46,040
Speaker 4: all right, let me plan out, like who's on today?

2011
01:48:46,200 --> 01:48:48,840
Speaker 4: Blah blah, you know, just kind of yeah, you have

2012
01:48:48,920 --> 01:48:51,439
Speaker 4: your personal things to do, and I got, you know,

2013
01:48:51,640 --> 01:48:54,360
Speaker 4: things I could do. But I love Mike, you know,

2014
01:48:54,640 --> 01:48:59,160
Speaker 4: Mike Saturday to unwine and give me like a couple

2015
01:48:59,200 --> 01:49:01,240
Speaker 4: of good games to dive into.

2016
01:49:02,439 --> 01:49:05,800
Speaker 3: And there's no games none. See.

2017
01:49:05,800 --> 01:49:08,160
Speaker 2: We spent this time this morning talking about how we're

2018
01:49:08,160 --> 01:49:11,360
Speaker 2: going to fix the calendar for college football in the NFL.

2019
01:49:12,040 --> 01:49:13,679
Speaker 2: Maybe what we need to do is fix the youth

2020
01:49:13,720 --> 01:49:17,479
Speaker 2: sports calendar so that you're clear more during the season,

2021
01:49:17,600 --> 01:49:19,559
Speaker 2: and then you can ramp up after football, so.

2022
01:49:20,000 --> 01:49:23,240
Speaker 4: To killers because you know, my kids play football now.

2023
01:49:23,760 --> 01:49:27,800
Speaker 4: High school is different because like Anthony, it's Fridays, right,

2024
01:49:27,840 --> 01:49:29,320
Speaker 4: so you know you're usually good.

2025
01:49:30,280 --> 01:49:32,160
Speaker 3: But like the youth football is all day.

2026
01:49:32,280 --> 01:49:36,000
Speaker 4: It's Saturday or even sometimes even's Sunday, and so we

2027
01:49:36,040 --> 01:49:38,439
Speaker 4: got we always have a lot and then then they're

2028
01:49:38,479 --> 01:49:41,440
Speaker 4: playing fall and but the other one he plays fall baseball.

2029
01:49:42,040 --> 01:49:46,160
Speaker 4: So that's all these tournaments. You know, it's like forty

2030
01:49:46,200 --> 01:49:52,320
Speaker 4: eight degrees. And you know, you got the greatest month October,

2031
01:49:52,360 --> 01:49:54,880
Speaker 4: all this stuff going on and I'm at a I'm

2032
01:49:54,880 --> 01:49:55,679
Speaker 4: at a youth game.

2033
01:49:58,600 --> 01:50:02,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that that we're gonna have to work on. You

2034
01:50:02,080 --> 01:50:04,439
Speaker 2: know what, maybe I'll become the bizarre of youth sports.

2035
01:50:04,479 --> 01:50:06,840
Speaker 2: At the same time. I like that college football. I

2036
01:50:06,880 --> 01:50:09,360
Speaker 2: like that all that way, you know, like the trickle

2037
01:50:09,400 --> 01:50:11,280
Speaker 2: down impact on this. We can we can move all

2038
01:50:11,320 --> 01:50:14,280
Speaker 2: the calendars around because my god, like it's not going

2039
01:50:14,360 --> 01:50:16,839
Speaker 2: to get any easier for you. You still got a solid

2040
01:50:16,960 --> 01:50:18,400
Speaker 2: seven years eight years of this.

2041
01:50:18,720 --> 01:50:20,560
Speaker 3: I hope I enjoy every second of it. So I

2042
01:50:20,600 --> 01:50:21,040
Speaker 3: don't want to.

2043
01:50:21,760 --> 01:50:22,400
Speaker 2: That's amazing.

2044
01:50:22,840 --> 01:50:23,600
Speaker 3: What games are you?

2045
01:50:23,960 --> 01:50:25,719
Speaker 4: I'm going to I'm going to read you real quick

2046
01:50:26,840 --> 01:50:29,680
Speaker 4: and then we'll get back to the championship games. But

2047
01:50:29,920 --> 01:50:33,439
Speaker 4: are you interested, Like, give me a scale one to ten?

2048
01:50:34,040 --> 01:50:37,719
Speaker 4: All right, tell me if there's any eight, nine or tens.

2049
01:50:38,640 --> 01:50:44,440
Speaker 4: Mississippi State, South Carolina, Michigan State, Rutgers.

2050
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:47,920
Speaker 2: Okay, Michigan State Rutgers a little interesting to me because

2051
01:50:48,000 --> 01:50:52,360
Speaker 2: Sparti's way better this year than anybody. Like they started off.

2052
01:50:53,000 --> 01:50:54,679
Speaker 2: People thought they were going to be pretty good maybe,

2053
01:50:54,680 --> 01:50:57,120
Speaker 2: but then they suddenly fell off the ranks. They've been

2054
01:50:57,120 --> 01:51:01,120
Speaker 2: on a heater, like Michigan State is quietly there's sixteen

2055
01:51:01,200 --> 01:51:04,760
Speaker 2: and two, Like, yeah, Michigan State team is you know,

2056
01:51:04,800 --> 01:51:08,320
Speaker 2: not for nothing. I'm always I'm always interested to see

2057
01:51:08,320 --> 01:51:11,120
Speaker 2: what is tho's capable of putting together. And that Rutgers

2058
01:51:11,160 --> 01:51:13,240
Speaker 2: game is at the garden, so I've got you know,

2059
01:51:13,280 --> 01:51:15,559
Speaker 2: I like that, like garden college basketball in the middle

2060
01:51:15,560 --> 01:51:16,599
Speaker 2: of the day. Yeah, give it to me.

2061
01:51:17,000 --> 01:51:18,800
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, well you know what, let me take

2062
01:51:18,840 --> 01:51:21,840
Speaker 4: it quick TL We'll come right back through the exercise,

2063
01:51:21,920 --> 01:51:25,200
Speaker 4: get back to the championship games next hour. Brain to

2064
01:51:25,280 --> 01:51:27,439
Speaker 4: go over from a betting standpoint lots to get to

2065
01:51:27,600 --> 01:51:33,480
Speaker 4: fellas hanging out right here Fox Sports Radio Fellas.

2066
01:51:33,080 --> 01:51:36,280
Speaker 3: From the ti Raq dot Com studios.

2067
01:51:35,479 --> 01:51:39,599
Speaker 4: Jason Fitz, Anton Argato, Dude, okay, I answer a question

2068
01:51:39,640 --> 01:51:40,800
Speaker 4: about the Cowboys real quick.

2069
01:51:40,800 --> 01:51:42,840
Speaker 3: I know we get to the college basketball think that's

2070
01:51:42,880 --> 01:51:43,200
Speaker 3: some fun.

2071
01:51:43,240 --> 01:51:47,559
Speaker 4: But because I was listening to Rob Parker, they did

2072
01:51:47,560 --> 01:51:51,559
Speaker 4: a promo and I love Rob, go back there forever

2073
01:51:51,600 --> 01:51:54,640
Speaker 4: with Rob, and he was playing the Cowboy fans like like,

2074
01:51:54,760 --> 01:52:01,000
Speaker 4: I hate blaming fans because you have no control over

2075
01:52:01,040 --> 01:52:04,240
Speaker 4: who's going to be the coach. You just have no control.

2076
01:52:05,080 --> 01:52:07,479
Speaker 4: You can tell what you want, well, you know you're

2077
01:52:07,479 --> 01:52:09,920
Speaker 4: not gonna go to games or all that stuff. That's

2078
01:52:10,040 --> 01:52:13,040
Speaker 4: not why Daniel Studder sold the team and the whole

2079
01:52:13,080 --> 01:52:17,559
Speaker 4: thing changed. I don't think the fans have any power

2080
01:52:17,560 --> 01:52:22,439
Speaker 4: in that sense, right, you know, very rare cases, but

2081
01:52:22,520 --> 01:52:25,679
Speaker 4: it is Brian Schottenheimer going to turn this thing around

2082
01:52:25,680 --> 01:52:26,480
Speaker 4: for them.

2083
01:52:26,720 --> 01:52:29,800
Speaker 2: The hard part, no, I mean the hard part here

2084
01:52:29,880 --> 01:52:32,439
Speaker 2: is that and this is where we started this morning,

2085
01:52:32,560 --> 01:52:35,360
Speaker 2: Like I think this was really predictable. Now, this is

2086
01:52:35,439 --> 01:52:38,040
Speaker 2: why if we go back to letting go of McCarthy,

2087
01:52:38,960 --> 01:52:40,920
Speaker 2: we got to look at who Jerry Jones is. I

2088
01:52:40,960 --> 01:52:42,640
Speaker 2: don't think the fans had anything to do with this,

2089
01:52:42,720 --> 01:52:44,960
Speaker 2: and I think anytime we blame the fans for their

2090
01:52:45,360 --> 01:52:49,639
Speaker 2: team's failures, that's misplaced. And it's just Jerry Jones isn't

2091
01:52:49,640 --> 01:52:52,519
Speaker 2: listening to anybody but Jerry Jones. Maybe Steven Jones's kid,

2092
01:52:53,040 --> 01:52:57,920
Speaker 2: But who is Jerry right? Like Jerry as a general rule,

2093
01:52:58,040 --> 01:52:59,760
Speaker 2: And I'll go back to joey Epstein that I work

2094
01:52:59,800 --> 01:53:03,000
Speaker 2: with Yahoo. She covered the Cowboys for years before she

2095
01:53:03,080 --> 01:53:06,000
Speaker 2: came to work for Yahoo. And Sharen Williams, who works

2096
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:09,439
Speaker 2: for Pro Football Talk, she covered the Cowboys for you

2097
01:53:09,479 --> 01:53:12,479
Speaker 2: know forever, and the two of the smartest Cowboys people

2098
01:53:12,760 --> 01:53:16,519
Speaker 2: that I know, and both of them almost immediately when

2099
01:53:17,160 --> 01:53:19,720
Speaker 2: the Mike McCarthy firing without both of them made two

2100
01:53:19,720 --> 01:53:22,200
Speaker 2: things about it. The clear Jerry Jones as a philosophy,

2101
01:53:22,240 --> 01:53:24,719
Speaker 2: does not believe in paying buyouts for coaches. He doesn't

2102
01:53:24,760 --> 01:53:26,479
Speaker 2: believe that an owner should ever have to do that.

2103
01:53:26,680 --> 01:53:30,040
Speaker 2: So that ruled out Dion and Belichick in any of

2104
01:53:30,040 --> 01:53:33,360
Speaker 2: those conversations because philosophically, he's never done it, never does it.

2105
01:53:33,400 --> 01:53:35,240
Speaker 2: Then the other thing they both pointed out is he

2106
01:53:35,360 --> 01:53:37,599
Speaker 2: likes people he's comfortable with that he's had in the building,

2107
01:53:37,600 --> 01:53:40,000
Speaker 2: and that's why both of them from day one have

2108
01:53:40,080 --> 01:53:42,000
Speaker 2: said it was either going to be Kellen Moore or

2109
01:53:42,080 --> 01:53:45,320
Speaker 2: Brian Schottenheimer. And on our Yahoo show over a week ago,

2110
01:53:45,840 --> 01:53:49,320
Speaker 2: Jory laid out the case for both of them. And look,

2111
01:53:49,520 --> 01:53:51,920
Speaker 2: I think what this comes down to is that Jerry

2112
01:53:52,000 --> 01:53:55,000
Speaker 2: likes people he's comfortable with. And you know, even in

2113
01:53:55,040 --> 01:53:58,479
Speaker 2: the decision to make a change, it wasn't making a

2114
01:53:58,600 --> 01:54:03,080
Speaker 2: change to make some spectacle change into some superstar. It's

2115
01:54:03,280 --> 01:54:05,040
Speaker 2: he's making a change and he wants to bring in

2116
01:54:05,080 --> 01:54:07,720
Speaker 2: somebody else he's comfortable with it. It's just this, just

2117
01:54:07,960 --> 01:54:10,400
Speaker 2: this reeks of who Jerry Jones actually is. I think

2118
01:54:10,400 --> 01:54:12,559
Speaker 2: we should have seen it coming. And if I'm a

2119
01:54:12,600 --> 01:54:15,960
Speaker 2: Cowboys fan, I mean I don't, man, none of us know.

2120
01:54:16,520 --> 01:54:19,679
Speaker 2: Like there's just no there's no proof, there's no data,

2121
01:54:19,720 --> 01:54:21,880
Speaker 2: there's no anything that will back up whether or not

2122
01:54:21,920 --> 01:54:24,000
Speaker 2: this is going to be awesome or not. But what

2123
01:54:24,080 --> 01:54:27,920
Speaker 2: you know is if Brian Schottenheimer comes in, Shottenheimer comes

2124
01:54:27,920 --> 01:54:30,080
Speaker 2: in and wins twelve games a year but not a

2125
01:54:30,080 --> 01:54:32,879
Speaker 2: super Bowl, then it will all have been a failure.

2126
01:54:33,120 --> 01:54:35,520
Speaker 2: Like that's that's the mark. You fire coaches that don't

2127
01:54:35,560 --> 01:54:38,080
Speaker 2: win super Bowls but win twelve games a year most years.

2128
01:54:38,280 --> 01:54:41,879
Speaker 2: So I mean it feels like an impossible, untenable situation.

2129
01:54:43,760 --> 01:54:45,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hear you.

2130
01:54:46,880 --> 01:54:50,280
Speaker 4: I think the way the way you spell it out

2131
01:54:50,680 --> 01:54:54,440
Speaker 4: is spot on. I mean it's really great, it's it's

2132
01:54:54,720 --> 01:54:57,839
Speaker 4: makes a lot of sense. I don't get the whole

2133
01:55:00,320 --> 01:55:03,280
Speaker 4: believe in buyouts, Like that's the most ridiculous thing in

2134
01:55:03,280 --> 01:55:03,680
Speaker 4: the world.

2135
01:55:05,240 --> 01:55:08,760
Speaker 3: Ruia, what is the steward the best guy for your

2136
01:55:09,080 --> 01:55:09,520
Speaker 3: like they guy?

2137
01:55:09,640 --> 01:55:13,200
Speaker 4: Like, whether you think that Dion would be a good

2138
01:55:13,320 --> 01:55:18,440
Speaker 4: NFL coach or not, it's undeniable that he comes here

2139
01:55:18,680 --> 01:55:25,440
Speaker 4: with a big presence, which I think they need, right, Belichick.

2140
01:55:25,040 --> 01:55:27,760
Speaker 3: See whatever you want, Like, you've.

2141
01:55:27,200 --> 01:55:32,600
Speaker 4: Got guys that have an idea. I mean, I don't

2142
01:55:32,680 --> 01:55:37,080
Speaker 4: understand it. I don't get it. Brian Schineibert, like, all right,

2143
01:55:37,240 --> 01:55:38,920
Speaker 4: is he better than Spagging?

2144
01:55:38,960 --> 01:55:41,000
Speaker 3: Who is he better to Spags?

2145
01:55:41,560 --> 01:55:45,600
Speaker 2: No? No, no proof that he is. And I think

2146
01:55:45,640 --> 01:55:48,640
Speaker 2: your point too. Let's also quickly remind everybody there's no

2147
01:55:48,720 --> 01:55:51,680
Speaker 2: salary cap for coaches. So according to the Google machine,

2148
01:55:51,840 --> 01:55:55,200
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones is worth seventeen point three billion dollars, So

2149
01:55:56,000 --> 01:55:58,760
Speaker 2: he could there if he loved any coach, if he

2150
01:55:58,800 --> 01:56:00,680
Speaker 2: loved Belichick, he could go in and be like, you know, what,

2151
01:56:01,240 --> 01:56:03,320
Speaker 2: I'll give you fifty million dollars a year. You could

2152
01:56:03,360 --> 01:56:05,440
Speaker 2: do that in a heartbeat and there'd be absolutely no

2153
01:56:05,480 --> 01:56:07,400
Speaker 2: recourse to that. He could say, I'll pay your buyout

2154
01:56:07,440 --> 01:56:10,200
Speaker 2: and I'll give you fifty million bucks. Like there's you know,

2155
01:56:10,480 --> 01:56:12,960
Speaker 2: if you wanted Ben Johnson, Like we saw this with

2156
01:56:13,000 --> 01:56:15,880
Speaker 2: Liam Cohen, where you know Liam Cohen, the offensive coordinator

2157
01:56:15,920 --> 01:56:18,600
Speaker 2: for Tampa Bay turned down the Jags job. The Jags

2158
01:56:18,640 --> 01:56:21,480
Speaker 2: then dysfunctionally fire their GM, which they should have done

2159
01:56:21,520 --> 01:56:24,080
Speaker 2: in the first place, and then seod Conon turns around

2160
01:56:24,080 --> 01:56:27,040
Speaker 2: and makes him a Ben Johnson type offer, which according

2161
01:56:27,080 --> 01:56:29,040
Speaker 2: to reports, is in the range of thirteen point five

2162
01:56:29,080 --> 01:56:35,000
Speaker 2: million dollars. Okay, well, Shod's worth thirteen point five billion dollars.

2163
01:56:35,480 --> 01:56:38,480
Speaker 2: So like that's a cup of coffee to most of us,

2164
01:56:38,520 --> 01:56:41,520
Speaker 2: Like it's nothing, right, So yeah, like it's stupid to

2165
01:56:41,600 --> 01:56:44,000
Speaker 2: me for an NFL owner, like they if they want

2166
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:46,400
Speaker 2: to coach, go get that coach. Don't let anybody else

2167
01:56:46,440 --> 01:56:49,000
Speaker 2: out hire you go offer them a blank check, spend

2168
01:56:49,000 --> 01:56:51,400
Speaker 2: all your money. It's the one variable you can control,

2169
01:56:51,440 --> 01:56:52,680
Speaker 2: and there's no cost recourse.

2170
01:56:53,120 --> 01:56:56,680
Speaker 4: And here's the other thing it tells you, Like the

2171
01:56:57,600 --> 01:57:01,320
Speaker 4: league has shown you the way to success. You need

2172
01:57:01,360 --> 01:57:05,360
Speaker 4: a good coach. Look what Harball did with the Chargers

2173
01:57:05,480 --> 01:57:09,360
Speaker 4: right away, right, Look what he did. He's got to

2174
01:57:09,440 --> 01:57:13,600
Speaker 4: more a path now, Yep, like it's a coaches league.

2175
01:57:13,640 --> 01:57:18,480
Speaker 4: These these odors, I just don't understand them. And by

2176
01:57:18,520 --> 01:57:24,760
Speaker 4: the way, I got a weird suspicion that Ben Johnson

2177
01:57:25,400 --> 01:57:30,200
Speaker 4: will be a disaster at Chicago. O. I gotta hear

2200
01:58:36,720 --> 01:58:38,960
Speaker 3: Uh.

2201
01:58:39,040 --> 01:58:41,840
Speaker 4: The coaching situation just to put a bow on that

2202
01:58:41,920 --> 01:58:44,520
Speaker 4: we had to discuss at the end. And I don't

2203
01:58:44,600 --> 01:58:50,120
Speaker 4: understand that proven entities coaches that know how to win. Hey, look,

2204
01:58:50,360 --> 01:58:53,880
Speaker 4: maybe Ben Johnson turns out to be a great the

2205
01:58:53,920 --> 01:58:59,040
Speaker 4: next great head coach. But I've seen these cock coordinators

2206
01:58:59,560 --> 01:59:06,920
Speaker 4: physical whether it was McDaniel's dable, these guys fizzle, And

2207
01:59:07,000 --> 01:59:10,200
Speaker 4: I don't know is Ben Johnson any different. I think

2208
01:59:10,240 --> 01:59:13,400
Speaker 4: he's a great coordinator. I don't know what kind of

2209
01:59:13,400 --> 01:59:15,560
Speaker 4: coach he's going to be. Hey, coach, leader of men.

2210
01:59:16,000 --> 01:59:18,680
Speaker 4: A lot of people tell you don't have that personality,

2211
01:59:20,480 --> 01:59:26,320
Speaker 4: but you're real quick. Jim Harball did, and the Bears

2212
01:59:26,360 --> 01:59:30,080
Speaker 4: had Jim Harball and they didn't hire him. And to

2213
01:59:30,080 --> 01:59:33,880
Speaker 4: this day I just go, that was the dumbest mistake

2214
01:59:33,960 --> 01:59:36,280
Speaker 4: that Chicago made.

2215
01:59:37,760 --> 01:59:43,720
Speaker 2: And I don't know how you if you're Chicago, how

2216
01:59:43,760 --> 01:59:45,720
Speaker 2: do you? How do you write the ship? And to me,

2217
01:59:46,120 --> 01:59:47,920
Speaker 2: I think the only thing you can do when you

2218
01:59:47,920 --> 01:59:50,760
Speaker 2: are in dysfunction, is we've said before, is get rid

2219
01:59:50,800 --> 01:59:53,680
Speaker 2: of everybody. And so Chicago's just done the opposite of

2220
01:59:53,720 --> 01:59:56,520
Speaker 2: what they did last year. Last year they kept ebra Flus,

2221
01:59:56,600 --> 01:59:59,000
Speaker 2: which I thought was a terrible idea. Now they get

2222
01:59:59,080 --> 02:00:01,680
Speaker 2: rid of Eberflus, but keep a front office that you know,

2223
02:00:01,720 --> 02:00:04,080
Speaker 2: now Ben Johnson's coming in with he must be comfortable

2224
02:00:04,120 --> 02:00:06,920
Speaker 2: with him, I guess. But it just it feels this

2225
02:00:07,040 --> 02:00:09,280
Speaker 2: feels weird. It feels a little weird to me and

2226
02:00:09,360 --> 02:00:11,960
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams, who I love. I think Caleb has the

2227
02:00:12,040 --> 02:00:13,760
Speaker 2: chance to be a real star in this league. But

2228
02:00:13,880 --> 02:00:17,800
Speaker 2: Caleb is, you know, sort of an improvisational quarterback. And

2229
02:00:17,880 --> 02:00:20,040
Speaker 2: there's a little element to me of, you know, Ben

2230
02:00:20,120 --> 02:00:22,680
Speaker 2: Johnson likes guys that get the ball out on time

2231
02:00:22,760 --> 02:00:26,120
Speaker 2: and execute exactly his vision. So it's just there are

2232
02:00:26,240 --> 02:00:31,000
Speaker 2: enough weird things in this combination. I don't necessarily understand

2233
02:00:31,000 --> 02:00:32,960
Speaker 2: why this was the one that made Ben Johnson leap.

2234
02:00:33,040 --> 02:00:35,280
Speaker 2: I can't make a ton of sense out of not

2235
02:00:35,400 --> 02:00:38,640
Speaker 2: leaping last year for Washington but now leaping this year

2236
02:00:38,680 --> 02:00:42,400
Speaker 2: for the Bears. Like there's the Washington job. Last year

2237
02:00:43,080 --> 02:00:46,200
Speaker 2: obviously had a clear path to a quarterback and an

2238
02:00:46,280 --> 02:00:48,760
Speaker 2: organizational structure that felt like it was going to give

2239
02:00:48,800 --> 02:00:52,120
Speaker 2: him more opportunity to cement his own legacy. So yeah,

2240
02:00:52,160 --> 02:00:53,800
Speaker 2: I think it's a little weird. I think it's it's

2241
02:00:53,840 --> 02:00:55,520
Speaker 2: a weird choice.

2242
02:00:55,800 --> 02:01:00,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it just it just cracks me up, because, look,

2243
02:01:00,280 --> 02:01:02,560
Speaker 4: he may turn out to be a great head coach,

2244
02:01:03,280 --> 02:01:06,840
Speaker 4: but a guy like Harball, you knew he won like

2245
02:01:07,120 --> 02:01:11,560
Speaker 4: he's all just winning. Wherever he goes, he wins, Like

2246
02:01:11,640 --> 02:01:14,600
Speaker 4: I don't know that. Why these owners they all want

2247
02:01:14,640 --> 02:01:18,720
Speaker 4: to be geniuses and higher the next great one. When

2248
02:01:19,120 --> 02:01:20,920
Speaker 4: guys are sitting there, I mean all you go to

2249
02:01:20,960 --> 02:01:24,400
Speaker 4: the point of the fact that Belichick didn't get a

2250
02:01:24,440 --> 02:01:31,360
Speaker 4: real offer is ridiculous. It's ridiculous. I mean the guy,

2251
02:01:31,400 --> 02:01:33,560
Speaker 4: why are you not even believe he's old or you know,

2252
02:01:33,600 --> 02:01:36,120
Speaker 4: you gotta change the building or that blah blah blah

2253
02:01:36,160 --> 02:01:36,839
Speaker 4: blah blah.

2254
02:01:37,040 --> 02:01:39,040
Speaker 3: You're gonna tell me that all of a sudden he

2255
02:01:39,040 --> 02:01:40,280
Speaker 3: can't coach. I don't believe it.

2256
02:01:41,880 --> 02:01:44,080
Speaker 2: And the hard part about all of this is, like

2257
02:01:44,440 --> 02:01:48,880
Speaker 2: we said, I think repeatedly, it just bears repeating. Here

2258
02:01:49,080 --> 02:01:53,280
Speaker 2: is you know, at some point, when you look at

2259
02:01:53,600 --> 02:01:55,880
Speaker 2: the coaches that have come in and managed to turn

2260
02:01:55,920 --> 02:01:59,800
Speaker 2: some things around, like Harball, Sean Payton. They've never been back,

2261
02:02:00,560 --> 02:02:04,040
Speaker 2: they've never had failure, and so there is some element

2262
02:02:04,080 --> 02:02:05,760
Speaker 2: to me of you know, the devil, you know, and

2263
02:02:05,840 --> 02:02:07,320
Speaker 2: guys that have been in the league and have done

2264
02:02:07,360 --> 02:02:11,000
Speaker 2: the dang thing. Like I do think that that matters.

2265
02:02:11,080 --> 02:02:13,640
Speaker 2: And you know, again, I'll go back to just the

2266
02:02:14,440 --> 02:02:18,839
Speaker 2: amount of questioning we have for coaches when they're hired.

2267
02:02:18,960 --> 02:02:22,200
Speaker 2: And you know, I'm looking back here at a ranking

2268
02:02:22,240 --> 02:02:26,560
Speaker 2: from twenty nineteen of the best and worst coaching hires, right,

2269
02:02:26,680 --> 02:02:29,680
Speaker 2: and Matt Lafleur was listed as the worst of the

2270
02:02:29,720 --> 02:02:33,920
Speaker 2: coaching hires in that high recycle in this article, and

2271
02:02:34,440 --> 02:02:36,960
Speaker 2: of all of the coaches that were hired that year,

2272
02:02:37,040 --> 02:02:41,120
Speaker 2: he's the only one that still has his job. So

2273
02:02:42,160 --> 02:02:44,720
Speaker 2: I know, Zach Taylor, Zach Taylor was second to last,

2274
02:02:44,720 --> 02:02:46,760
Speaker 2: and Zach Taylor still has his job. None of the

2275
02:02:46,840 --> 02:02:49,120
Speaker 2: rest of them still have their job. I've got an

2276
02:02:49,200 --> 02:02:52,560
Speaker 2: article here from twenty twenty ranking the best and worst

2277
02:02:52,600 --> 02:02:56,320
Speaker 2: coaching hires. Mike McCarthy was ranked number one in twenty twenty.

2278
02:02:56,800 --> 02:02:59,520
Speaker 2: The lowest on several of these was Kevin Stefanski. The

2279
02:02:59,560 --> 02:03:02,600
Speaker 2: only one out of that group that still has their job.

2280
02:03:02,720 --> 02:03:05,200
Speaker 2: And I just I say that to remind everybody that,

2281
02:03:05,360 --> 02:03:08,280
Speaker 2: like we've accepted that drafting a quarterback is an absolute

2282
02:03:08,320 --> 02:03:10,760
Speaker 2: crap shoot, we should accept that hiring coach is an

2283
02:03:10,760 --> 02:03:12,960
Speaker 2: absolute crap shoot too. And if I'm gonna shoot craps,

2284
02:03:13,240 --> 02:03:14,960
Speaker 2: I like to be like, I'd much rather do that

2285
02:03:15,000 --> 02:03:17,000
Speaker 2: with Belichick than somebody. I don't know that that's just

2286
02:03:17,040 --> 02:03:20,440
Speaker 2: being honest, Like, I'd much rather if you're gonna roll

2287
02:03:20,480 --> 02:03:23,360
Speaker 2: the dice, boy, it's it's home run or complete rebuild

2288
02:03:23,440 --> 02:03:24,320
Speaker 2: every single time.

2289
02:03:25,200 --> 02:03:27,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I you know, I hear.

2290
02:03:28,720 --> 02:03:31,600
Speaker 4: You know what cracks me up is so I've been

2291
02:03:31,600 --> 02:03:34,280
Speaker 4: doing a lot of you know, this week, I do

2292
02:03:34,360 --> 02:03:36,760
Speaker 4: all the radio hits like you did, and you know,

2293
02:03:36,800 --> 02:03:40,080
Speaker 4: the whole nine because of the Eagles being in the

2294
02:03:40,160 --> 02:03:46,960
Speaker 4: championship game and everybody like either hates Sirianty or it's like,

2295
02:03:47,000 --> 02:03:51,120
Speaker 4: well if the Syria isn't win, is he fired still?

2296
02:03:51,280 --> 02:03:57,560
Speaker 3: And I'm going no, listen, was it a real uh?

2297
02:03:57,960 --> 02:03:58,800
Speaker 3: Was he on the.

2298
02:03:59,040 --> 02:04:04,680
Speaker 4: Hot seat after the collapse last year? Yes, but let's

2299
02:04:04,680 --> 02:04:07,800
Speaker 4: not get it twisted. He took over a team that

2300
02:04:08,040 --> 02:04:11,320
Speaker 4: was horrible, right gets him to the playoffs.

2301
02:04:12,680 --> 02:04:13,920
Speaker 3: It was a team that was done.

2302
02:04:13,960 --> 02:04:17,720
Speaker 4: They were in the depths of it gets them to

2303
02:04:17,720 --> 02:04:21,200
Speaker 4: the playoffs. The following year gets into the Super Bowl,

2304
02:04:22,280 --> 02:04:27,000
Speaker 4: loses both as coordinators. Right is ten and one before

2305
02:04:27,040 --> 02:04:31,320
Speaker 4: they go off the rails, and then they're two and two.

2306
02:04:33,440 --> 02:04:36,280
Speaker 4: They have a week five bye. They go, all right,

2307
02:04:36,320 --> 02:04:39,320
Speaker 4: who are we? What's our identity? And you can say

2308
02:04:39,320 --> 02:04:43,200
Speaker 4: whatever you want. He's got Vic Fangio, who's a veteran

2309
02:04:43,240 --> 02:04:46,600
Speaker 4: defensive coordinator who was very good. He's got Jeff Statlin,

2310
02:04:46,680 --> 02:04:49,840
Speaker 4: who might be the you know, the greatest o line

2311
02:04:49,880 --> 02:04:53,680
Speaker 4: coach ever. Right, He's got like really good staff. But

2312
02:04:53,880 --> 02:04:58,120
Speaker 4: he goes, we're a downhill run team, so let's run

2313
02:04:58,120 --> 02:05:02,600
Speaker 4: the ball, go Barkley, and yeah, Howie Roseman is a

2314
02:05:02,640 --> 02:05:06,240
Speaker 4: great GM. But you still got to coach the team.

2315
02:05:08,040 --> 02:05:12,360
Speaker 4: And yeah, Daego won his epic run. And so why

2316
02:05:12,360 --> 02:05:15,920
Speaker 4: if day Samow losal something, you gonna you're gonna fire him.

2317
02:05:15,960 --> 02:05:19,440
Speaker 4: That's swept third and the guy gets no love for

2318
02:05:19,560 --> 02:05:21,800
Speaker 4: Coach of the Year or anything like that. It only

2319
02:05:21,960 --> 02:05:23,760
Speaker 4: is is, I don't know how many games over five

2320
02:05:23,840 --> 02:05:24,680
Speaker 4: hundred the guy is.

2321
02:05:25,200 --> 02:05:27,760
Speaker 3: His record is ridiculous.

2322
02:05:29,520 --> 02:05:35,640
Speaker 2: It's the bar is so wildly different for every organization

2323
02:05:35,760 --> 02:05:38,240
Speaker 2: and what equals success and the way we look at

2324
02:05:38,280 --> 02:05:42,280
Speaker 2: success is such an interesting part of this, you know,

2325
02:05:42,400 --> 02:05:45,560
Speaker 2: like I just because your your point. You know, if

2326
02:05:45,600 --> 02:05:49,120
Speaker 2: Sirianna hit the open market today, how many teams in

2327
02:05:49,440 --> 02:05:51,960
Speaker 2: any given hiing cycle will be like, well, I'll take him,

2328
02:05:52,000 --> 02:05:53,720
Speaker 2: Like this guy's had a ton of success, you know.

2329
02:05:53,800 --> 02:05:57,240
Speaker 2: I think what's hard is that, like we were talking

2330
02:05:57,240 --> 02:06:00,320
Speaker 2: about earlier, failure is so difficult at different spectrum. So

2331
02:06:00,480 --> 02:06:04,160
Speaker 2: what is viewed as successful for the Eagles or the

2332
02:06:04,200 --> 02:06:07,240
Speaker 2: Cowboys is not is in a total different spectrum than

2333
02:06:07,240 --> 02:06:10,160
Speaker 2: what is viewed as successful for the Browns or the

2334
02:06:10,240 --> 02:06:12,880
Speaker 2: Raiders or you know, a team like that. But then

2335
02:06:12,920 --> 02:06:16,320
Speaker 2: the problem is if you're the Cowboys, Like how often

2336
02:06:16,360 --> 02:06:18,160
Speaker 2: have we all said change for the sake of change

2337
02:06:18,200 --> 02:06:22,360
Speaker 2: isn't always good change. If you're the Cowboys right now,

2338
02:06:21,960 --> 02:06:26,040
Speaker 2: what absolute metric do you have, Like, what proof do

2339
02:06:26,120 --> 02:06:28,320
Speaker 2: you have in any way, shape or form that you

2340
02:06:28,360 --> 02:06:32,080
Speaker 2: have actually upgraded at the head coaching position. The answer

2341
02:06:32,120 --> 02:06:35,240
Speaker 2: to that is none. You got a gut feeling from Jerry, Like,

2342
02:06:35,840 --> 02:06:39,640
Speaker 2: so a team that won twelve games three years in

2343
02:06:39,640 --> 02:06:43,000
Speaker 2: a row but didn't go to the playoffs this year

2344
02:06:43,280 --> 02:06:46,760
Speaker 2: and fell short of Super Bowl expectations, So a coach

2345
02:06:46,840 --> 02:06:50,440
Speaker 2: that again, I'll remind everyone that currently the winning percentage

2346
02:06:50,440 --> 02:06:53,600
Speaker 2: for Mike McCarthy is almost identical to what the winning

2347
02:06:53,600 --> 02:06:57,520
Speaker 2: percentage was for Andy Reid in Philadelphia, Right, So that coach,

2348
02:06:57,680 --> 02:07:01,040
Speaker 2: you let go for a guy that has never been

2349
02:07:01,080 --> 02:07:04,520
Speaker 2: a head coach, that is a career assistant, because that's

2350
02:07:04,560 --> 02:07:07,480
Speaker 2: the person that you trust is absolutely going to be

2351
02:07:07,520 --> 02:07:10,480
Speaker 2: able to win you a Super Bowl. Like there are

2352
02:07:10,560 --> 02:07:14,120
Speaker 2: very few teams in all of sports that truly are

2353
02:07:14,280 --> 02:07:18,040
Speaker 2: championship or bust. Most are competitive or bust. If you're

2354
02:07:18,080 --> 02:07:21,640
Speaker 2: telling me that you're relying on championship or bust and

2355
02:07:21,680 --> 02:07:25,040
Speaker 2: you didn't even talk to Bill, that doesn't make a

2356
02:07:25,080 --> 02:07:25,760
Speaker 2: lot of sense to me.

2357
02:07:26,080 --> 02:07:31,240
Speaker 3: Honestly, No, no, it doesn't. All right, let's switz gears

2358
02:07:31,240 --> 02:07:31,680
Speaker 3: a little bit.

2359
02:07:31,760 --> 02:07:34,680
Speaker 4: Look at tomorrow and the games, and speaking of the

2360
02:07:34,680 --> 02:07:38,520
Speaker 4: Cowboys and the Giants who did it? Uh oh, I

2361
02:07:38,560 --> 02:07:41,600
Speaker 4: don't even understand what they're doing in their frontal office,

2362
02:07:41,640 --> 02:07:44,880
Speaker 4: And what a joke that is. Those two teams are

2363
02:07:44,880 --> 02:07:47,520
Speaker 4: gonna have to look at the Eagles in Washington for

2364
02:07:47,600 --> 02:07:53,080
Speaker 4: a long long time. So the NFC Championship Game is

2365
02:07:53,120 --> 02:07:58,840
Speaker 4: a battle of the NFC East what's the view of

2366
02:07:58,880 --> 02:08:02,840
Speaker 4: this around the country, because something tells me there's not

2367
02:08:02,960 --> 02:08:07,360
Speaker 4: a lot of sex appeal. The Eagles are a hated team, uh,

2368
02:08:07,400 --> 02:08:10,200
Speaker 4: Like they hate Sirianne, they hate the way they play

2369
02:08:10,400 --> 02:08:12,480
Speaker 4: the other The other thing I get all the time

2370
02:08:12,600 --> 02:08:16,640
Speaker 4: is they hurt, stinks, they can't pass the ball. They're

2371
02:08:16,680 --> 02:08:21,800
Speaker 4: an ugly team, Like they're the ugly ducking great team.

2372
02:08:22,360 --> 02:08:25,680
Speaker 4: And I don't know what you tell me because I'm

2373
02:08:25,720 --> 02:08:28,720
Speaker 4: in the belly of the beast in Philadelphia, So you

2374
02:08:28,880 --> 02:08:32,360
Speaker 4: tell me what the outside view of the Eagles and

2375
02:08:32,400 --> 02:08:34,360
Speaker 4: the Eagles Washington Championship game is.

2376
02:08:34,880 --> 02:08:37,520
Speaker 2: No, I think you're right. The outside view is suddenly

2377
02:08:37,720 --> 02:08:40,520
Speaker 2: because and this is where we got to be better about,

2378
02:08:40,560 --> 02:08:45,680
Speaker 2: Like what is what sucks? Because like the concept that

2379
02:08:46,120 --> 02:08:49,440
Speaker 2: Jalen hurts sucks? Really Okay, go watch Aidan O'Connell because

2380
02:08:49,440 --> 02:08:51,440
Speaker 2: that's what I watched all year. Like I think we

2381
02:08:51,520 --> 02:08:53,560
Speaker 2: need to have a different word, Like we need to

2382
02:08:53,600 --> 02:08:57,040
Speaker 2: have a word for this guy isn't necessarily my homes

2383
02:08:57,080 --> 02:08:59,640
Speaker 2: but he's also still very good. Like we need to

2384
02:08:59,640 --> 02:09:03,360
Speaker 2: have a a word that encapsulates every quarterback that's between

2385
02:09:03,400 --> 02:09:06,400
Speaker 2: the fifth best and fifteenth best quarterback in the league,

2386
02:09:06,480 --> 02:09:09,400
Speaker 2: you know, and the guy that you know absolutely can

2387
02:09:09,480 --> 02:09:11,560
Speaker 2: win you a bunch of games, but also is going

2388
02:09:11,600 --> 02:09:14,160
Speaker 2: to have moments that maybe they want back. Like that's

2389
02:09:14,280 --> 02:09:17,320
Speaker 2: the human element of quarterbacks, because I think the perception

2390
02:09:17,520 --> 02:09:22,920
Speaker 2: is Jalen Hurt sucks. The Brown is uninvested at this

2391
02:09:23,000 --> 02:09:25,800
Speaker 2: point and not happy, and as a result, their passing

2392
02:09:25,800 --> 02:09:28,360
Speaker 2: game is broken and they're going to have to just

2393
02:09:28,680 --> 02:09:31,240
Speaker 2: hope that Saquon can bail them out and their defense

2394
02:09:31,320 --> 02:09:34,320
Speaker 2: can keep them in this. And I think the hard

2395
02:09:34,320 --> 02:09:36,240
Speaker 2: part about that is it's all said from a negative.

2396
02:09:36,600 --> 02:09:39,360
Speaker 2: I instead would look at it and say, Okay, I

2397
02:09:39,400 --> 02:09:43,200
Speaker 2: look at a team that has an incredibly strong defensive

2398
02:09:43,200 --> 02:09:44,920
Speaker 2: line that can beat you a lot of different ways,

2399
02:09:44,960 --> 02:09:47,160
Speaker 2: with the back end of a secondary that we've talked

2400
02:09:47,200 --> 02:09:50,040
Speaker 2: about a lot has youth that has just absolutely stepped up,

2401
02:09:50,920 --> 02:09:53,800
Speaker 2: by the way, with an offense that has one of

2402
02:09:53,800 --> 02:09:56,000
Speaker 2: the better offensive lines in the league, and a running

2403
02:09:56,040 --> 02:09:58,760
Speaker 2: attack that could beat you from five yards out or

2404
02:09:58,800 --> 02:10:00,880
Speaker 2: from fifty yards out, which is there's a rarity in this.

2405
02:10:01,000 --> 02:10:02,920
Speaker 2: And they have some of the most talented wide receivers

2406
02:10:02,960 --> 02:10:04,880
Speaker 2: in the league that when they need to throw the ball,

2407
02:10:05,160 --> 02:10:07,560
Speaker 2: there's still a threat there. So like that's how I

2408
02:10:08,080 --> 02:10:11,040
Speaker 2: think Philadelphia wins this game. I think they clearly win

2409
02:10:11,080 --> 02:10:13,520
Speaker 2: this game. I just don't think. I think what we've

2410
02:10:13,520 --> 02:10:16,200
Speaker 2: done is we've taken the fact that they haven't always

2411
02:10:16,200 --> 02:10:18,080
Speaker 2: made it look easy, and we've turned that into a

2412
02:10:18,120 --> 02:10:21,800
Speaker 2: narrative that they suck and because the Washington commanders have

2413
02:10:21,960 --> 02:10:24,600
Speaker 2: made it look easy at times, that must mean they're

2414
02:10:24,640 --> 02:10:25,840
Speaker 2: great and they're gonna win this game.

2415
02:10:26,880 --> 02:10:30,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I hear you, man, I it's funny, like, how

2416
02:10:30,840 --> 02:10:34,160
Speaker 4: do you rank the teams the fan bases?

2417
02:10:35,800 --> 02:10:35,960
Speaker 2: Oh?

2418
02:10:36,120 --> 02:10:41,680
Speaker 4: Like, oh, so, first of all, Washington doesn't really exist right,

2419
02:10:41,760 --> 02:10:47,440
Speaker 4: Like it's a it was a whoe begone franchise that

2420
02:10:47,760 --> 02:10:49,200
Speaker 4: was dormant for years.

2421
02:10:49,640 --> 02:10:52,480
Speaker 3: So just put them to the side, because you know

2422
02:10:52,840 --> 02:10:53,560
Speaker 3: it used to be.

2423
02:10:53,520 --> 02:10:57,920
Speaker 2: The best man that that that Washington, that Washington fang.

2424
02:10:58,320 --> 02:11:01,200
Speaker 3: You know, it was great stuff. I'll never no more.

2425
02:11:01,280 --> 02:11:04,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, one hundred percent. They're they're not in

2426
02:11:04,520 --> 02:11:10,080
Speaker 2: this gosh. So if we're rating them on their passion,

2427
02:11:10,880 --> 02:11:14,920
Speaker 2: that I would put Buffalo first, I would put Philly second,

2428
02:11:14,960 --> 02:11:18,040
Speaker 2: and I would put Kansas City third. If we're rating

2429
02:11:18,040 --> 02:11:22,560
Speaker 2: them on their passion, If we're rating them on their behavior, uh,

2430
02:11:22,760 --> 02:11:25,400
Speaker 2: you know that's that's a total different Like Philly fans

2431
02:11:25,400 --> 02:11:27,840
Speaker 2: are sort of infamous for Philly fans, right, so like,

2432
02:11:27,920 --> 02:11:31,120
Speaker 2: in my mind, Philly and and this is totally unfair,

2433
02:11:31,160 --> 02:11:34,800
Speaker 2: but in my mind I would if we're rating them

2434
02:11:34,800 --> 02:11:38,640
Speaker 2: on their their niceness, I would actually take Kansas City one,

2435
02:11:38,760 --> 02:11:42,560
Speaker 2: Buffalo no, Buffalo one, Kansas City two, and Philly three.

2436
02:11:43,480 --> 02:11:46,560
Speaker 3: Well, Buffalo also does the thing that Bill's Mafia does.

2437
02:11:46,840 --> 02:11:51,040
Speaker 2: Charity stuff, you know, like, yes, yeah, they're the only

2438
02:11:51,080 --> 02:11:53,000
Speaker 2: fan base that you're scared of during the game and

2439
02:11:53,000 --> 02:11:54,440
Speaker 2: then you want to hug them after the game, like

2440
02:11:54,480 --> 02:11:58,280
Speaker 2: they have intimidation, like they jump through flow tables. Yes,

2441
02:11:58,520 --> 02:12:00,760
Speaker 2: but they'll also they'll also get to a charity to

2442
02:12:00,800 --> 02:12:01,960
Speaker 2: make you feel better about something.

2443
02:12:02,560 --> 02:12:06,440
Speaker 4: I was joking around that the if it's Eagles Bills,

2444
02:12:06,480 --> 02:12:09,320
Speaker 4: it's Bill's Mafia versus the real Bafia.

2445
02:12:11,920 --> 02:12:16,320
Speaker 2: Oh, that's amazing that that is absolutely like. And the

2446
02:12:16,360 --> 02:12:18,400
Speaker 2: funny thing is, I feel like when you ask what

2447
02:12:18,480 --> 02:12:20,360
Speaker 2: the country's shooting for, I can only speak for what

2448
02:12:20,440 --> 02:12:22,240
Speaker 2: I hear, but I think most of the country from

2449
02:12:22,240 --> 02:12:25,080
Speaker 2: what I hear, is rooting for Washington versus Buffalo a

2450
02:12:25,120 --> 02:12:27,960
Speaker 2: Super Bowl rematch. I think from way back in the day,

2451
02:12:28,520 --> 02:12:29,960
Speaker 2: I think we're a hell of a lot more likely

2452
02:12:30,000 --> 02:12:31,840
Speaker 2: to get a more recent Super Bowl rematch. You know,

2453
02:12:31,880 --> 02:12:35,160
Speaker 2: I just think it just feels like it just I

2454
02:12:35,240 --> 02:12:38,400
Speaker 2: don't know, man, I want to find a way for

2455
02:12:38,480 --> 02:12:42,720
Speaker 2: an interesting result. But also you just at some point

2456
02:12:42,760 --> 02:12:44,800
Speaker 2: the body of work is the body of work, and

2457
02:12:45,960 --> 02:12:48,000
Speaker 2: who's hot now is part of it. But the look

2458
02:12:48,040 --> 02:12:50,400
Speaker 2: at the body of work for the entire season, and

2459
02:12:50,720 --> 02:12:53,720
Speaker 2: the Chiefs don't make stupid mistakes to lose games. Every

2460
02:12:53,760 --> 02:12:57,200
Speaker 2: single team that won in the last round of the

2461
02:12:57,200 --> 02:13:00,800
Speaker 2: playoffs was outgained by their opponent, every single on them.

2462
02:13:01,040 --> 02:13:03,400
Speaker 2: So what does that tell us. It tells us that

2463
02:13:03,480 --> 02:13:06,160
Speaker 2: the trend right now is not yardage. The trend is

2464
02:13:06,200 --> 02:13:09,600
Speaker 2: smart situational football. Right You cannot turn the football over,

2465
02:13:09,960 --> 02:13:12,360
Speaker 2: you can't make a big mistake. And who do I

2466
02:13:12,480 --> 02:13:16,200
Speaker 2: trust to make less mistakes? Well, I mean, I don't

2467
02:13:16,200 --> 02:13:18,040
Speaker 2: remember the last time I sat there and thought, Wow,

2468
02:13:18,080 --> 02:13:21,360
Speaker 2: the Chiefs really lost that game, Like they really blew

2469
02:13:21,400 --> 02:13:23,800
Speaker 2: it themselves. They got in their own the Chiefs stepped

2470
02:13:23,800 --> 02:13:25,880
Speaker 2: on their own, you know what. Like that, it just

2471
02:13:25,920 --> 02:13:28,640
Speaker 2: doesn't get set. So for me, I have a hard

2472
02:13:28,680 --> 02:13:30,720
Speaker 2: time finding that. Although the Bills have been very clean

2473
02:13:30,720 --> 02:13:33,360
Speaker 2: with the football too, it's still that's who Kansas City is.

2474
02:13:33,440 --> 02:13:35,839
Speaker 2: And then on the other side, I got a Washington

2475
02:13:35,840 --> 02:13:38,360
Speaker 2: team that's playing ahead of their ahead of the sticks,

2476
02:13:38,600 --> 02:13:41,920
Speaker 2: with a young quarterback that's absolutely dynamic and electric to watch.

2477
02:13:42,000 --> 02:13:45,400
Speaker 2: But I mean, I don't I trust Philly to make

2478
02:13:45,480 --> 02:13:48,480
Speaker 2: less mistakes, less turnovers and that it's that simple. So

2479
02:13:48,960 --> 02:13:51,480
Speaker 2: that's how I get to the Philly Kansas City super Bowl.

2480
02:13:52,400 --> 02:13:55,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I get I see the same thing.

2481
02:13:55,800 --> 02:13:58,960
Speaker 4: I because again I think the Bill I think Bills

2482
02:13:59,000 --> 02:14:03,640
Speaker 4: Chiefs obviously Josh Allen is unbelievable, and you know, I

2483
02:14:03,640 --> 02:14:08,040
Speaker 4: mean that team is well coached, they're they're they're a

2484
02:14:08,080 --> 02:14:11,680
Speaker 4: really good team. I think the issue that the Bills

2485
02:14:11,680 --> 02:14:15,040
Speaker 4: are gonna have is they're not gonna be able to

2486
02:14:15,120 --> 02:14:19,440
Speaker 4: run the ball, not with Cook. Yeah, and if they

2487
02:14:19,520 --> 02:14:22,640
Speaker 4: can't run the ball, I mean again, he's gonna have

2488
02:14:22,640 --> 02:14:28,600
Speaker 4: to be super human. And I know Spags very well.

2489
02:14:29,560 --> 02:14:33,840
Speaker 4: He's a great coach man. He knows how to devise thing,

2490
02:14:33,960 --> 02:14:36,200
Speaker 4: he knows how to devise a game big a game plan.

2491
02:14:36,600 --> 02:14:38,800
Speaker 4: And on the other side, they just don't lose stuff,

2492
02:14:38,880 --> 02:14:42,520
Speaker 4: Like they don't lose these games. And there's something to

2493
02:14:42,560 --> 02:14:46,320
Speaker 4: be said about that, like they don't lose like Bubla's

2494
02:14:46,320 --> 02:14:49,600
Speaker 4: gonna have to come in and play a great, turnover free,

2495
02:14:50,600 --> 02:14:55,240
Speaker 4: perfect game to beat them in Kansas City. I think

2496
02:14:55,280 --> 02:15:00,440
Speaker 4: it's close and they can do it, but man, you

2497
02:15:00,640 --> 02:15:04,960
Speaker 4: gotta be perfect, like you can't. You gotta set You

2498
02:15:04,960 --> 02:15:08,760
Speaker 4: can't settle for threes. You gotta get sevens like that's

2499
02:15:09,080 --> 02:15:13,640
Speaker 4: because you're just like they just know how to win.

2500
02:15:14,720 --> 02:15:18,480
Speaker 4: It's they could win in any style, in any manner.

2501
02:15:19,200 --> 02:15:23,320
Speaker 4: They they may clutch plays, they're the ault. They know

2502
02:15:23,360 --> 02:15:27,280
Speaker 4: how to win. I mean, they're the Patriots again.

2503
02:15:27,800 --> 02:15:30,280
Speaker 3: This is a that's what dynasties do, right.

2504
02:15:30,600 --> 02:15:33,160
Speaker 2: This is where to you know, we talk about pressure

2505
02:15:33,200 --> 02:15:35,280
Speaker 2: and who feels the pressure and playing tight and everything.

2506
02:15:35,800 --> 02:15:38,200
Speaker 2: I do believe that when you have been there a

2507
02:15:38,240 --> 02:15:40,840
Speaker 2: bunch of times, like sometimes I think we focus so

2508
02:15:40,920 --> 02:15:43,760
Speaker 2: much about who has you know, who feels the pressure most.

2509
02:15:44,200 --> 02:15:46,600
Speaker 2: I think that if you're Kansas City right now, there's

2510
02:15:46,640 --> 02:15:50,320
Speaker 2: an absence of pressure that you feel because you've been

2511
02:15:50,360 --> 02:15:53,440
Speaker 2: here so many times, because you've seen so many different scenarios,

2512
02:15:53,440 --> 02:15:56,000
Speaker 2: because you've won so many games this year in weird

2513
02:15:56,000 --> 02:15:57,680
Speaker 2: ways where you start to look at it and say, hey, man,

2514
02:15:57,680 --> 02:15:59,960
Speaker 2: it's just one of those years, like late in the game,

2515
02:16:00,120 --> 02:16:04,120
Speaker 2: close game, I think it's fair to say most humans

2516
02:16:04,160 --> 02:16:07,280
Speaker 2: have adrenaline impression that they feel. I just don't know

2517
02:16:07,320 --> 02:16:09,920
Speaker 2: that that really exists for the Chiefs because they've been

2518
02:16:09,960 --> 02:16:12,560
Speaker 2: through so many of these types of runs. That's the

2519
02:16:12,600 --> 02:16:15,200
Speaker 2: advantage that Dynasty start to have, is that when you've

2520
02:16:15,240 --> 02:16:17,760
Speaker 2: experienced these things so many times, Like the first time

2521
02:16:17,800 --> 02:16:19,920
Speaker 2: I ever did a radio show, I got nervous, Right,

2522
02:16:19,960 --> 02:16:22,240
Speaker 2: the first time I ever played a concert, I got nervous.

2523
02:16:22,480 --> 02:16:25,200
Speaker 2: The one hundredth time I ever did a TV show,

2524
02:16:25,240 --> 02:16:28,040
Speaker 2: I wasn't nervous anymore, right, Like, I just think when

2525
02:16:28,080 --> 02:16:32,240
Speaker 2: you are in your seventh straight AFC Championship game, there's

2526
02:16:32,320 --> 02:16:35,000
Speaker 2: just nothing that's going to invase you when you've won

2527
02:16:35,080 --> 02:16:37,280
Speaker 2: games the way they've won this year. So I don't

2528
02:16:37,280 --> 02:16:40,720
Speaker 2: think it's necessarily that Buffalo can't handle the pressure. I

2529
02:16:40,720 --> 02:16:43,840
Speaker 2: think it's that there's an absence of pressure felt by

2530
02:16:43,879 --> 02:16:45,400
Speaker 2: Kansas City that makes a huge.

2531
02:16:45,200 --> 02:16:48,240
Speaker 4: Difference in posements. Great great point, great great great point.

2532
02:16:48,680 --> 02:16:52,760
Speaker 4: And on the flip side, the only the puncher's chance

2533
02:16:52,800 --> 02:16:57,000
Speaker 4: to give Washington is that, like they don't know what's

2534
02:16:57,040 --> 02:17:02,080
Speaker 4: the NFC Championship game, yep, Right, like, that's very real.

2535
02:17:02,920 --> 02:17:07,160
Speaker 3: And John, and here's the thing, Jayden Daniels.

2536
02:17:08,600 --> 02:17:15,000
Speaker 4: Has been in Monster games like he's playing Saturdays sec football,

2537
02:17:15,240 --> 02:17:20,880
Speaker 4: like he's unfazed by it. He's just going out and balling.

2538
02:17:21,080 --> 02:17:24,680
Speaker 4: So there is there's something to be said. And and

2539
02:17:24,879 --> 02:17:27,840
Speaker 4: to me, that whole game now, I think the Eagles

2540
02:17:27,879 --> 02:17:30,440
Speaker 4: win it. And it's not a Homer pick. I think

2541
02:17:30,440 --> 02:17:32,560
Speaker 4: the Eagles win. I think it's an obvious thing where

2542
02:17:32,920 --> 02:17:36,800
Speaker 4: they're the tested, battle tested there, they also know how

2543
02:17:36,840 --> 02:17:42,680
Speaker 4: to win. The only thing that gives me concern is

2544
02:17:42,760 --> 02:17:47,480
Speaker 4: if Washington jumps out and and has the lead like

2545
02:17:47,520 --> 02:17:48,800
Speaker 4: they did against Detroit.

2546
02:17:48,879 --> 02:17:51,600
Speaker 3: Now, Detroit turned the ball over. The Eagles don't do that.

2547
02:17:52,240 --> 02:17:55,320
Speaker 4: But if there's something that they maybe Eagles come out

2548
02:17:55,360 --> 02:18:00,960
Speaker 4: slow or whatever, if Washington has a like it did

2549
02:18:00,959 --> 02:18:06,840
Speaker 4: at halftime. We've never seen the Eagles trail from behind

2550
02:18:07,360 --> 02:18:11,280
Speaker 4: by two scorers. It's on Carny. I gonna go back

2551
02:18:11,320 --> 02:18:14,720
Speaker 4: and actually look at it all. But from memory, I

2552
02:18:14,760 --> 02:18:18,680
Speaker 4: don't think after the week five bye, they've trailed Fitsy

2553
02:18:19,080 --> 02:18:20,240
Speaker 4: by two scorers.

2554
02:18:19,959 --> 02:18:22,640
Speaker 2: In the second hact. And that's crazy. That is that's

2555
02:18:22,680 --> 02:18:26,440
Speaker 2: a wild piece of information. And you, yeah, one hundred

2556
02:18:26,440 --> 02:18:29,720
Speaker 2: percent That's interesting to me because you certainly don't want

2557
02:18:29,720 --> 02:18:31,760
Speaker 2: to have to be coming back multiple scores against an

2558
02:18:31,760 --> 02:18:36,560
Speaker 2: offense that has a dynamic quarterback. That's really interesting. But also,

2559
02:18:37,200 --> 02:18:41,000
Speaker 2: if you trust Philly, like they have the weird they're

2560
02:18:41,040 --> 02:18:42,800
Speaker 2: the one team with the running attack that I don't

2561
02:18:42,800 --> 02:18:45,080
Speaker 2: think slows the game down. I just that's the other

2562
02:18:45,120 --> 02:18:47,840
Speaker 2: part of it, is that they because their running attack

2563
02:18:47,920 --> 02:18:50,440
Speaker 2: is so lethal from sixty seventy eighty yards. I'm not

2564
02:18:50,720 --> 02:18:53,400
Speaker 2: being flipping about his ability there. I just feel like

2565
02:18:53,840 --> 02:18:56,360
Speaker 2: they're not out many teams that can't throw the ball

2566
02:18:56,400 --> 02:18:59,280
Speaker 2: effectively or out quickly, I don't think that would be

2567
02:18:59,360 --> 02:19:00,640
Speaker 2: the case for Philly. But we'll see.

2568
02:19:00,640 --> 02:19:03,000
Speaker 4: That's the big test, all right, let's say quick to you,

2569
02:19:03,120 --> 02:19:05,400
Speaker 4: we'll come back to brain, will join us. We'll kind

2582
02:19:54,240 --> 02:19:55,840
Speaker 4: I just want to throw I do want to throw

2583
02:19:55,840 --> 02:19:58,520
Speaker 4: this at you too. So what we're talking about the

2584
02:19:58,560 --> 02:20:03,400
Speaker 4: Eagles not being uh not trailing. So I just went

2585
02:20:03,440 --> 02:20:07,440
Speaker 4: through it real quick. It's pretty astounding. Since the Week

2586
02:20:08,320 --> 02:20:15,600
Speaker 4: five by they have only trailed in the fourth quarter twice.

2587
02:20:15,840 --> 02:20:20,959
Speaker 4: They trailed ten to six against Washington the first time

2588
02:20:21,000 --> 02:20:24,320
Speaker 4: they went out to beat them, and then sixteen to

2589
02:20:24,360 --> 02:20:29,480
Speaker 4: fourteen against Carolina, and then in the last game, Washington

2590
02:20:29,600 --> 02:20:33,160
Speaker 4: won on the last drive of the season, right, so

2591
02:20:33,400 --> 02:20:35,560
Speaker 4: at the last drive of the game. So entering the

2592
02:20:35,640 --> 02:20:41,200
Speaker 4: fourth quarter, they've trailed only twice since the Week five by,

2593
02:20:41,720 --> 02:20:46,160
Speaker 4: look and real quick. In the entire season, they have

2594
02:20:46,879 --> 02:20:51,760
Speaker 4: been behind two scores in the fourth quarter only once.

2595
02:20:52,600 --> 02:20:55,600
Speaker 4: That was against Tampa when they had no Aj Brown

2596
02:20:55,640 --> 02:20:56,759
Speaker 4: though Devonte.

2597
02:20:56,280 --> 02:20:59,720
Speaker 6: Smith, I actually thought they were trailing against Ravens and

2598
02:20:59,800 --> 02:21:02,120
Speaker 6: the fourth quarter, but I guess I misremembering. I thought

2599
02:21:02,120 --> 02:21:03,720
Speaker 6: they were down at the beginning and then they killed

2600
02:21:03,720 --> 02:21:05,360
Speaker 6: them in the fourth quarter. But maybe they were up

2601
02:21:05,360 --> 02:21:07,880
Speaker 6: by one or up by two or something like that.

2602
02:21:07,920 --> 02:21:10,680
Speaker 4: But yeah, they were down nine to h at the

2603
02:21:10,760 --> 02:21:12,840
Speaker 4: end of the first quarter. It game back in the

2604
02:21:12,879 --> 02:21:16,039
Speaker 4: second and then made it ninety seven and then then

2605
02:21:16,080 --> 02:21:16,680
Speaker 4: took the lead.

2606
02:21:17,520 --> 02:21:20,080
Speaker 6: Well, look, obviously, Anthony, this team has been has had

2607
02:21:20,080 --> 02:21:22,360
Speaker 6: an incredible year, and it's one of the reasons that

2608
02:21:22,480 --> 02:21:25,039
Speaker 6: sakwon Barkley has as many yards as we have. Is

2609
02:21:25,160 --> 02:21:28,359
Speaker 6: the reason you just said, right when you're not trailing,

2610
02:21:28,640 --> 02:21:30,600
Speaker 6: you know, it's easier to get more carries to the

2611
02:21:30,640 --> 02:21:33,680
Speaker 6: guy who's been your best player. And the Eagles have

2612
02:21:33,800 --> 02:21:37,120
Speaker 6: just had one of those years where they've been incredible

2613
02:21:37,160 --> 02:21:41,360
Speaker 6: all season. I mean, it's been a magical year for them,

2614
02:21:41,760 --> 02:21:45,039
Speaker 6: and they've been really again, it's been an incredible year

2615
02:21:45,080 --> 02:21:47,520
Speaker 6: for them. So yet, to me, that's been one of

2616
02:21:47,520 --> 02:21:49,640
Speaker 6: the reasons that Barkley we've seen such success in in

2617
02:21:50,200 --> 02:21:52,760
Speaker 6: it kind of goes hand hand. They've been leading these games,

2618
02:21:52,879 --> 02:21:55,119
Speaker 6: so it's been made it easier to give the ball

2619
02:21:55,160 --> 02:21:58,000
Speaker 6: to Barkley when you've been winning every one of these games,

2620
02:21:58,640 --> 02:22:01,680
Speaker 6: you know, and ever since that Tampa game, Anthony, to me,

2621
02:22:01,800 --> 02:22:05,360
Speaker 6: this team has absolutely been just a totally different team.

2622
02:22:05,640 --> 02:22:09,080
Speaker 6: I don't all the Georgia players seem to look that

2623
02:22:09,120 --> 02:22:11,240
Speaker 6: they have in the team. Seen their season turned around

2624
02:22:11,280 --> 02:22:14,160
Speaker 6: seemingly after that Campa Bay game and their defense went

2625
02:22:14,200 --> 02:22:18,080
Speaker 6: from playing horribly to being the best in the NFL

2626
02:22:18,120 --> 02:22:18,680
Speaker 6: from that day.

2627
02:22:20,720 --> 02:22:23,920
Speaker 2: So, I mean, we're trying to figure out the path

2628
02:22:23,959 --> 02:22:26,360
Speaker 2: to a Washington win here because I think both of

2629
02:22:26,440 --> 02:22:29,160
Speaker 2: us are taking Philly from from your standpoint, what do

2630
02:22:29,200 --> 02:22:30,199
Speaker 2: you like in this game?

2631
02:22:31,800 --> 02:22:34,720
Speaker 6: Well, I did not bet the game itself. Okay, I

2632
02:22:34,720 --> 02:22:37,960
Speaker 6: did not bet the game itself. Look the line sitting

2633
02:22:38,000 --> 02:22:41,880
Speaker 6: between six and six and a half, and again, I

2634
02:22:42,200 --> 02:22:44,560
Speaker 6: do think Eagles will win the game. I absolutely do.

2635
02:22:45,320 --> 02:22:47,160
Speaker 6: Now with throwd off the point of view, that's I

2636
02:22:47,240 --> 02:22:50,800
Speaker 6: do think having quinne on Mitchell is a nassive thing.

2637
02:22:50,920 --> 02:22:55,440
Speaker 6: He completely shut down McLaurin the first time these guys played.

2638
02:22:56,440 --> 02:22:58,960
Speaker 6: Mccardin had more successful second year. But I also watched

2639
02:22:59,000 --> 02:23:03,840
Speaker 6: Tore the Falcon shut McLaren down in that game, and

2640
02:23:03,920 --> 02:23:06,039
Speaker 6: he's another good quarterback. So I think that there's a

2641
02:23:06,160 --> 02:23:09,120
Speaker 6: chance that McLaren doesn't have the same kind of success

2642
02:23:09,240 --> 02:23:10,880
Speaker 6: he's kind of throughout the season. Now they have to

2643
02:23:10,920 --> 02:23:14,040
Speaker 6: go against the top quarterback. I do lean under I

2644
02:23:14,080 --> 02:23:16,920
Speaker 6: think it's going to be a lower scoring game. I

2645
02:23:16,920 --> 02:23:20,720
Speaker 6: don't think it's going to be I don't think Washington's

2646
02:23:20,720 --> 02:23:23,280
Speaker 6: gonna have anywhere near the kind of success guys they

2647
02:23:23,320 --> 02:23:26,600
Speaker 6: had against Detroit, anywhere near that kind of success. I

2648
02:23:26,640 --> 02:23:28,120
Speaker 6: think it's gonna be a lower scoring game. Then the

2649
02:23:28,200 --> 02:23:31,760
Speaker 6: question is Jalen Hurts himself, right, is he going to

2650
02:23:31,800 --> 02:23:34,519
Speaker 6: be able to have any mobility?

2651
02:23:34,840 --> 02:23:35,120
Speaker 3: Right?

2652
02:23:35,200 --> 02:23:37,760
Speaker 6: And as I said, Dance Nanny and I he may

2653
02:23:37,879 --> 02:23:40,600
Speaker 6: think this is an overstatement, but if Jadler Hurts doesn't

2654
02:23:40,680 --> 02:23:44,640
Speaker 6: have mobility, if he had let's say Tom Brady's mobility

2655
02:23:44,720 --> 02:23:47,720
Speaker 6: or Peyton Manning's mobility, I personally don't think he's a

2656
02:23:47,760 --> 02:23:51,480
Speaker 6: starting caliber NFL quarterback all over the long haul. That's

2657
02:23:51,480 --> 02:23:53,560
Speaker 6: just my opinion. It doesn't mean I'm right. So I

2658
02:23:53,560 --> 02:23:57,120
Speaker 6: do think if he is not able to use his legs,

2659
02:23:57,160 --> 02:24:00,039
Speaker 6: which is a huge part of this game, that's it.

2660
02:24:00,000 --> 02:24:02,240
Speaker 6: That's the path of Washington to win. That's the path

2661
02:24:02,320 --> 02:24:03,200
Speaker 6: right there in my opinion.

2662
02:24:05,680 --> 02:24:09,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I listen, you know, I feel you on it.

2663
02:24:11,200 --> 02:24:15,840
Speaker 4: The only thing that gives me pause is Daniels. Daniels, Listen,

2664
02:24:15,879 --> 02:24:17,480
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna win too, Like you know that.

2665
02:24:17,600 --> 02:24:21,879
Speaker 4: I mean, I just look at it now, Daniels, like

2666
02:24:22,200 --> 02:24:24,400
Speaker 4: I was talking about earlier, I go the only way

2667
02:24:25,120 --> 02:24:27,560
Speaker 4: the two things. One Daniels, I love that. I think

2668
02:24:27,600 --> 02:24:32,760
Speaker 4: he is a he just there's no bigness to it.

2669
02:24:33,040 --> 02:24:38,360
Speaker 4: The game's slow, he's never overwhelmed. And if they can

2670
02:24:38,600 --> 02:24:42,840
Speaker 4: methodically drive the field, win first downs. And I'm the

2671
02:24:42,840 --> 02:24:45,240
Speaker 4: only thing that I'd be curious is if they're up

2672
02:24:45,760 --> 02:24:49,680
Speaker 4: two scores in the second half, what does Calvin Moore

2673
02:24:49,760 --> 02:24:50,640
Speaker 4: do offensively?

2674
02:24:52,480 --> 02:24:54,440
Speaker 6: You're saying it's washingtonself.

2675
02:24:55,360 --> 02:24:56,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will look.

2676
02:24:56,720 --> 02:24:58,800
Speaker 6: I think Sophia is one of those human I think

2677
02:24:58,800 --> 02:25:01,280
Speaker 6: they probably I don't think they would go panic and

2678
02:25:01,560 --> 02:25:04,039
Speaker 6: start passing because I don't. I think they would still

2679
02:25:04,040 --> 02:25:05,959
Speaker 6: try to use Barkley because when they love the stay qualch.

2680
02:25:06,040 --> 02:25:08,360
Speaker 3: You would say, but they haven't done. We haven't. We

2681
02:25:08,400 --> 02:25:09,080
Speaker 3: haven't seen that.

2682
02:25:09,320 --> 02:25:10,840
Speaker 6: They have like they haven't had to.

2683
02:25:11,080 --> 02:25:14,360
Speaker 3: They haven't. That was the point of the statum brought up. Yeah, yeah, I.

2684
02:25:14,280 --> 02:25:17,840
Speaker 6: Mean it's yeah, obviously Philadelphia's trailing. That's going to be

2685
02:25:17,840 --> 02:25:20,160
Speaker 6: a huge negative. Men, But I will suggest proper wise, guys,

2686
02:25:20,200 --> 02:25:22,280
Speaker 6: do you thinks I do like in this game and again,

2687
02:25:22,320 --> 02:25:24,039
Speaker 6: I do think Philaelphia is going to win the game,

2688
02:25:24,080 --> 02:25:25,920
Speaker 6: but I think under I had been one thing in

2689
02:25:25,959 --> 02:25:27,920
Speaker 6: the game. I like the under more than I like

2690
02:25:28,000 --> 02:25:30,280
Speaker 6: the Eagles to win. But I do think Eagles win

2691
02:25:31,920 --> 02:25:33,560
Speaker 6: with the spread. If I had to play aside, I

2692
02:25:33,840 --> 02:25:37,279
Speaker 6: lean Washington again, not vetting it, but slight lean Washington.

2693
02:25:37,480 --> 02:25:38,800
Speaker 6: But I do think Eagles win the game. But I

2694
02:25:38,840 --> 02:25:41,400
Speaker 6: do like the under. But I do think that DeVonta

2695
02:25:41,400 --> 02:25:43,240
Speaker 6: Swift I met over forty six and a half yards

2696
02:25:43,240 --> 02:25:47,520
Speaker 6: receiving h until I see Aja Brown uh. And I

2697
02:25:47,520 --> 02:25:49,240
Speaker 6: think ag Brown could go over to and receiving, but

2698
02:25:49,320 --> 02:25:52,160
Speaker 6: until I see him fully healthy. I think DeVonta Smith

2699
02:25:52,280 --> 02:25:55,360
Speaker 6: right now maybe the top guy on their team. Uh.

2700
02:25:55,400 --> 02:25:58,640
Speaker 6: And I don't like Washington's defense. I really don't. I

2701
02:25:58,680 --> 02:26:02,600
Speaker 6: think Washington's defense is woblow average. I like his old

2702
02:26:02,720 --> 02:26:04,920
Speaker 6: Brian Robbinson. They made his rushing total thirty five and

2703
02:26:04,920 --> 02:26:07,279
Speaker 6: a half. I would have made it more than mid forties.

2704
02:26:07,320 --> 02:26:09,280
Speaker 6: I think that's the close to ten yards too late.

2705
02:26:10,080 --> 02:26:13,280
Speaker 6: I think that was too low. And I those were two,

2706
02:26:14,520 --> 02:26:17,119
Speaker 6: you know, two props in that game that I think

2707
02:26:17,200 --> 02:26:20,440
Speaker 6: have some uh have some legs, all right, So.

2708
02:26:20,360 --> 02:26:23,480
Speaker 2: Take me to the AFC Championship game where now I'm

2709
02:26:23,480 --> 02:26:24,680
Speaker 2: just trying to figure out what to do with the

2710
02:26:24,720 --> 02:26:26,720
Speaker 2: Chiefs team that never loses. We talk about this all

2711
02:26:26,760 --> 02:26:31,280
Speaker 2: the time, you know, so replacing logic here just looking

2712
02:26:31,280 --> 02:26:33,520
Speaker 2: at the numbers, like what do you like in this game?

2713
02:26:34,720 --> 02:26:36,680
Speaker 6: You know it's interesting. I mean no one and I

2714
02:26:37,120 --> 02:26:39,280
Speaker 6: mean no one his fans packs where I did. He

2715
02:26:39,600 --> 02:26:42,000
Speaker 6: just bet against the Chiefs more than me these last

2716
02:26:42,200 --> 02:26:45,000
Speaker 6: since they got rid of Tyreek Hill. Now I've won

2717
02:26:45,040 --> 02:26:47,040
Speaker 6: a lot of these bets in terms of they haven't covered.

2718
02:26:47,280 --> 02:26:49,280
Speaker 6: But I've also gone against them with the moneymunt of bunch,

2719
02:26:49,280 --> 02:26:52,080
Speaker 6: but I've never won. So as you said, death taxes,

2720
02:26:52,120 --> 02:26:54,680
Speaker 6: the Chiefs don't lose. Uh. And here you have a

2721
02:26:54,720 --> 02:26:59,760
Speaker 6: game at home, right at home, laying you know, to

2722
02:27:00,000 --> 02:27:02,360
Speaker 6: one and a half points against the Buffalo team. And

2723
02:27:02,360 --> 02:27:07,160
Speaker 6: I'm gonna be honest, Look, they never ever and I

2724
02:27:07,200 --> 02:27:09,400
Speaker 6: had them last week in a teaser, but they really

2725
02:27:09,800 --> 02:27:12,920
Speaker 6: to me, Baltimore. It has to be kicking themselves. Think

2726
02:27:12,959 --> 02:27:16,840
Speaker 6: Baltimore was the best team in the playoffs. They played

2727
02:27:17,240 --> 02:27:20,160
Speaker 6: back picked the bad time to see that has three turnovers.

2728
02:27:21,000 --> 02:27:23,440
Speaker 6: The Buffalo and all nineteen in this year has not

2729
02:27:23,480 --> 02:27:25,720
Speaker 6: lost the turn over battle once. That's what's made them

2730
02:27:25,720 --> 02:27:29,000
Speaker 6: so tough. Because I watched Buffalo. Allen's magnificent. I think

2731
02:27:29,000 --> 02:27:32,360
Speaker 6: he's arguably the best player in the world. But their

2732
02:27:32,560 --> 02:27:36,800
Speaker 6: defense to me, is average. They have a good running back,

2733
02:27:37,920 --> 02:27:40,120
Speaker 6: the average receivers. To me, it's just it's kind of

2734
02:27:40,160 --> 02:27:42,199
Speaker 6: again John Alway when was on some of those Denver teams.

2735
02:27:42,200 --> 02:27:44,840
Speaker 6: It's the one man I think carrying the team against

2736
02:27:44,840 --> 02:27:48,280
Speaker 6: the team that's the healthiest, maybe been all season, all

2737
02:27:48,320 --> 02:27:51,560
Speaker 6: their weapons in place at home, and they always find

2738
02:27:51,600 --> 02:27:54,280
Speaker 6: a way to win. I think Baltimore would have beaten

2739
02:27:54,360 --> 02:27:56,480
Speaker 6: Kansas City. It would have actually been a large bet

2740
02:27:56,520 --> 02:28:00,760
Speaker 6: for me this game. Right here, I get again. I

2741
02:28:00,800 --> 02:28:02,720
Speaker 6: made the line two and a half, Guys, I made

2742
02:28:02,720 --> 02:28:05,000
Speaker 6: the line two and a half. I actually did that

2743
02:28:05,200 --> 02:28:07,760
Speaker 6: Kansas City in the open lane one. I think Kansasity

2744
02:28:07,800 --> 02:28:09,240
Speaker 6: gets it done again, and I think we're gonna get

2745
02:28:09,240 --> 02:28:10,880
Speaker 6: a rematch of the Eagles Chiefs Super Bowl for them,

2746
02:28:10,879 --> 02:28:11,640
Speaker 6: I guess it was two.

2747
02:28:11,520 --> 02:28:12,879
Speaker 3: Years two years ago.

2748
02:28:13,800 --> 02:28:17,840
Speaker 6: I just think Kansas City until I see otherwise at home,

2749
02:28:18,200 --> 02:28:20,640
Speaker 6: how can I I don't know how you can say them.

2750
02:28:20,680 --> 02:28:22,160
Speaker 6: I just I don't. I can't do it.

2751
02:28:23,400 --> 02:28:25,000
Speaker 4: Funny, we had to how about it fits you. We

2752
02:28:25,080 --> 02:28:27,400
Speaker 4: had the same kind of reaction yep, which is like,

2753
02:28:27,520 --> 02:28:29,520
Speaker 4: how do you You can't go against them?

2754
02:28:30,520 --> 02:28:34,280
Speaker 6: I can't, right, Like they just know how to fight.

2755
02:28:35,080 --> 02:28:37,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, they tell me.

2756
02:28:37,600 --> 02:28:41,520
Speaker 4: Here's the thing. I like, Cook, how's you going to run?

2757
02:28:41,600 --> 02:28:44,240
Speaker 4: The first game against Kansas City had eighteen yards?

2758
02:28:44,440 --> 02:28:46,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, well I will say this, and well I will

2759
02:28:46,840 --> 02:28:48,840
Speaker 6: I will say this. This is one thing actually will say,

2760
02:28:49,000 --> 02:28:51,800
Speaker 6: and which is hope from the buffalo side of your

2761
02:28:51,800 --> 02:28:56,640
Speaker 6: betting buffalo. All year long the Ravens. The only game

2762
02:28:56,879 --> 02:28:59,480
Speaker 6: out of the Ravens season one game all year did

2763
02:28:59,520 --> 02:29:02,920
Speaker 6: they look below average against the run Against the Eagles,

2764
02:29:03,000 --> 02:29:06,280
Speaker 6: Saquon just torched them, especially in the fourth quarter. No

2765
02:29:06,400 --> 02:29:08,160
Speaker 6: other running back to average three and a half yards

2766
02:29:08,160 --> 02:29:12,000
Speaker 6: to carry against them. Okay in that game. Now again

2767
02:29:12,000 --> 02:29:14,560
Speaker 6: they played from the league, which helped, but they ran

2768
02:29:14,640 --> 02:29:17,800
Speaker 6: the ball effectively against the Ravens team that was number one.

2769
02:29:18,040 --> 02:29:20,600
Speaker 6: I think the Chiefs are right up there too, but

2770
02:29:20,840 --> 02:29:23,400
Speaker 6: the Ravens were number one, and Cook the average three

2771
02:29:23,440 --> 02:29:25,240
Speaker 6: point seven yards to carry. But it was a solid

2772
02:29:25,280 --> 02:29:27,080
Speaker 6: three point seven if that makes sense, Like he was,

2773
02:29:27,200 --> 02:29:30,920
Speaker 6: it was an effective three point seven. So I mean, look,

2774
02:29:31,080 --> 02:29:33,280
Speaker 6: if they can run the ball. I mean that is

2775
02:29:33,440 --> 02:29:35,280
Speaker 6: a huge thing for them. I don't think they're going

2776
02:29:35,320 --> 02:29:37,280
Speaker 6: to be able to actually agree with you, Anthony, that

2777
02:29:37,400 --> 02:29:39,720
Speaker 6: they did have more success than I was expecting against

2778
02:29:39,720 --> 02:29:42,360
Speaker 6: the Baltimore team that's been equally a stout against the

2779
02:29:42,440 --> 02:29:44,760
Speaker 6: rawness Kansas City has, so I mean that would be

2780
02:29:44,840 --> 02:29:46,280
Speaker 6: the hope for them. I will say a couple of

2781
02:29:46,280 --> 02:29:48,360
Speaker 6: props in this game that I think were have some

2782
02:29:48,520 --> 02:29:52,000
Speaker 6: value in my opinion, Anthony, Look Travis Cuff. He's gone

2783
02:29:52,000 --> 02:29:55,680
Speaker 6: onder virtually every game all season in both yards and

2784
02:29:55,879 --> 02:29:57,760
Speaker 6: catch it, and they went over last week. I think

2785
02:29:57,800 --> 02:29:59,400
Speaker 6: we're getting now again. You may say it's the playoff

2786
02:29:59,400 --> 02:30:02,640
Speaker 6: Travis Kuff, it's a totally different thing. That's possible. The

2787
02:30:02,680 --> 02:30:04,640
Speaker 6: first time they played, they had two catches for four

2788
02:30:04,720 --> 02:30:07,160
Speaker 6: yards against this team. I've been under six and a

2789
02:30:07,200 --> 02:30:09,840
Speaker 6: half catches. I've been under seventy and a half yards.

2790
02:30:10,040 --> 02:30:13,560
Speaker 6: I'm willing to say that I don't think Travis Calcy

2791
02:30:13,600 --> 02:30:16,400
Speaker 6: is the same player we've seen in the past ten years.

2792
02:30:16,440 --> 02:30:19,640
Speaker 6: I actually think he's definitely tape art off and I

2793
02:30:19,760 --> 02:30:22,240
Speaker 6: understand the playoff factor, but I still took his unders.

2794
02:30:22,840 --> 02:30:25,040
Speaker 6: Ken Coleman averaged thirty seven and a half yards a

2795
02:30:25,120 --> 02:30:27,480
Speaker 6: game this year, if they meet, is over under eighteen

2796
02:30:27,480 --> 02:30:29,800
Speaker 6: and a half if he had a bad last two games,

2797
02:30:29,840 --> 02:30:32,120
Speaker 6: But he's still getting the same snap count. And in

2798
02:30:32,200 --> 02:30:34,120
Speaker 6: the game where I actually think they may be trailing

2799
02:30:34,240 --> 02:30:37,080
Speaker 6: here per guy who's gone over virtually every game over

2800
02:30:37,120 --> 02:30:40,360
Speaker 6: eighteen and a half, I keep average doubling that. I

2801
02:30:40,440 --> 02:30:42,080
Speaker 6: think the Bills are gonna have to pass the ball

2802
02:30:42,080 --> 02:30:43,959
Speaker 6: a little bit more here. I like his over quite

2803
02:30:43,959 --> 02:30:46,960
Speaker 6: a bit. Hollywood Brown, I think over runner was thirty

2804
02:30:47,000 --> 02:30:48,640
Speaker 6: five and half. I think that was too low as well.

2805
02:30:49,080 --> 02:30:52,600
Speaker 6: The game. I think that Buffalo is susceptible against the

2806
02:30:52,640 --> 02:30:56,760
Speaker 6: past guys, and I think that their receivers can have

2807
02:30:56,840 --> 02:30:59,640
Speaker 6: a little bit of a better game than people think.

2808
02:31:00,360 --> 02:31:02,400
Speaker 6: Josh Allen's rushing yard to meet forty eight and a half.

2809
02:31:02,560 --> 02:31:05,640
Speaker 6: Last one he averaged thirty one. I get in the playoffs,

2810
02:31:05,680 --> 02:31:07,760
Speaker 6: she raised these quarterbacks. They seem to run a little

2811
02:31:07,760 --> 02:31:09,920
Speaker 6: bit more. But I think forty eight a little bit

2812
02:31:09,959 --> 02:31:11,960
Speaker 6: too aggressive of bomb raising it from thirty one to

2813
02:31:12,040 --> 02:31:14,000
Speaker 6: forty eight. I took Josh Allen's under forty eight and

2814
02:31:14,000 --> 02:31:15,959
Speaker 6: a half rushing all right.

2815
02:31:15,879 --> 02:31:16,720
Speaker 3: Man, that's good stuff.

2816
02:31:17,200 --> 02:31:21,880
Speaker 4: Hey, real quick, anythink college basketball today because he's the

2817
02:31:21,959 --> 02:31:23,680
Speaker 4: first non football Saturday.

2818
02:31:24,760 --> 02:31:27,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, it is the first non football Saturday's from Anthony.

2819
02:31:27,840 --> 02:31:30,600
Speaker 6: I got a little bit of a late start today

2820
02:31:31,160 --> 02:31:35,400
Speaker 6: and I was working on my NBA and I was

2821
02:31:35,480 --> 02:31:37,360
Speaker 6: going to do the college next. I hadn't even finished

2822
02:31:37,440 --> 02:31:42,480
Speaker 6: my NBA. I had not had a chance to totally

2823
02:31:42,520 --> 02:31:45,320
Speaker 6: analyze the college one game. I did bet last night

2824
02:31:45,680 --> 02:31:50,200
Speaker 6: on the opening line which Shuston is playing Kansas, and

2825
02:31:50,320 --> 02:31:53,760
Speaker 6: I know Houston and me is a team where they

2826
02:31:53,920 --> 02:31:59,040
Speaker 6: have gotten their schedule at the beginning of the year

2827
02:31:59,080 --> 02:32:01,600
Speaker 6: that he played a lot out of, in my opinion,

2828
02:32:01,640 --> 02:32:03,560
Speaker 6: decent teams and they didn't play nearly as well. Then

2829
02:32:03,600 --> 02:32:05,840
Speaker 6: the schedule lightened up and Houston is one of those

2830
02:32:05,840 --> 02:32:09,160
Speaker 6: teams they punished bad teams. Kansas is not a bad team.

2831
02:32:09,959 --> 02:32:13,280
Speaker 6: I took Kansas minus one at home. I think Kansas

2832
02:32:13,360 --> 02:32:17,720
Speaker 6: is actually I have powered slightly better than Houston. Kansas

2833
02:32:17,800 --> 02:32:20,520
Speaker 6: always plays well at home. I think that line's too light.

2834
02:32:21,440 --> 02:32:24,280
Speaker 6: That's one game I played out duper dive a little

2835
02:32:24,320 --> 02:32:25,680
Speaker 6: bit later, but then I saw that don't think LA

2836
02:32:25,760 --> 02:32:27,920
Speaker 6: last night. Kansas did jump out to me. I think

2837
02:32:27,959 --> 02:32:31,840
Speaker 6: I have the better team at and Houston mean totally

2838
02:32:31,959 --> 02:32:34,880
Speaker 6: prove they can beat better competition. This has been this

2839
02:32:34,959 --> 02:32:37,640
Speaker 6: way for Sampson for a little bit when they played

2840
02:32:37,640 --> 02:32:39,520
Speaker 6: the better competition for something. Because I don't really have

2841
02:32:39,640 --> 02:32:44,120
Speaker 6: usually great offense, they seem to struggle. So I like

2842
02:32:44,240 --> 02:32:45,680
Speaker 6: Kansas as him all right.

2843
02:32:45,959 --> 02:32:48,680
Speaker 4: Well maybe well we'll tweet something that a little bit

2844
02:32:48,760 --> 02:32:53,320
Speaker 4: later on Gray, Great stuff, buddy, as always, Good luck tomorrow, man.

2845
02:32:54,200 --> 02:32:56,000
Speaker 6: I appreciate you guys. Good look to everyone out there.

2846
02:32:56,040 --> 02:32:59,039
Speaker 6: And Anthony again for when the maybe I'll told you're

2847
02:32:59,040 --> 02:33:01,760
Speaker 6: gonna have to tweet uh for sweet symphony, right.

2848
02:33:02,680 --> 02:33:03,960
Speaker 3: I know that's it.

2849
02:33:04,360 --> 02:33:07,080
Speaker 4: That's it, man and the and the football man. We're

2850
02:33:07,080 --> 02:33:09,800

02:33:09,920 --> 02:33:12,879
Speaker 4: babies with Pete Carroll.

2852

Speaker 2: I forgot the as heck yeah, come on, culture changers,

2853

2859
02:33:32,040 --> 02:33:34,080
Speaker 2: You know what, This HiT's even harder because like it's

2860
02:33:34,160 --> 02:33:37,840
Speaker 2: the end of Saturday football. You know, I'm sitting here

2861
02:33:37,879 --> 02:33:41,920
Speaker 2: watching college game day start with a little bit of

2862
02:33:41,959 --> 02:33:44,959
Speaker 2: college basketball action, and I'm realizing that, like the gears

2863
02:33:44,959 --> 02:33:48,360
Speaker 2: are shifting, you know, Tennessee Auburn tonight, Like that's, uh,

2864
02:33:48,720 --> 02:33:51,560
Speaker 2: that's gonna be the focus. And I don't know, Like

2865
02:33:51,680 --> 02:33:53,640
Speaker 2: my head's just not in that space. Brother, my head's

2866
02:33:53,640 --> 02:33:54,280
Speaker 2: not ready for it.

2867
02:33:54,440 --> 02:33:54,680
Speaker 3: Mine.

2868
02:33:54,720 --> 02:33:57,840
Speaker 4: I I me either, Dude, I hear you. I feel

2869
02:33:57,879 --> 02:33:59,840
Speaker 4: the same way. Like I love college ball. I love

2870
02:34:00,000 --> 02:34:03,039
Speaker 4: basketball or the whole thing, you know, baseball. But man,

2871
02:34:03,080 --> 02:34:05,760
Speaker 4: I'm not ready to say goodbye all right, Like I'm

2872
02:34:05,800 --> 02:34:08,440
Speaker 4: not ready to leave for you know, for the summer,

2873
02:34:08,959 --> 02:34:13,840
Speaker 4: right like, oh my god, no Saturday football.

2874
02:34:13,959 --> 02:34:18,800
Speaker 3: Man, that's good. It's not the same.

2875
02:34:19,040 --> 02:34:21,080
Speaker 4: Like I love basketball, I do, and I love that,

2876
02:34:21,200 --> 02:34:24,560
Speaker 4: you know, the tournament is a zone animal. And I love,

2877
02:34:24,680 --> 02:34:27,360
Speaker 4: you know, a good college game. Get a couple of

2878
02:34:27,360 --> 02:34:34,520
Speaker 4: good college Saturday. But just like the epic natural football,

2879
02:34:35,360 --> 02:34:39,280
Speaker 4: the three three and a half hour game, I mean,

2880
02:34:40,280 --> 02:34:43,080
Speaker 4: it's a great story like leading into that Sunday nighter

2881
02:34:43,320 --> 02:34:44,480
Speaker 4: or a Saturday, Oh.

2882
02:34:44,640 --> 02:34:49,920
Speaker 3: My god, Saturday college has ace A or Big ten

2883

2912
02:36:38,080 --> 02:36:42,600
Speaker 4: tier of playoffs. So by adding another tier of playoffs,

2913
02:36:43,600 --> 02:36:46,120
Speaker 4: you know you'll have the ample time to spread it around.

2914
02:36:46,360 --> 02:36:51,680
Speaker 4: You could be done right, like by January eighth, ninth,

2916
02:36:55,200 --> 02:36:57,280

02:37:00,640 --> 02:37:04,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean preseason football would no longer even nobody

2920
02:37:04,080 --> 02:37:05,280

2924
02:37:13,000 --> 02:37:17,120

2925
02:37:17,360 --> 02:37:20,200
Speaker 4: the NFL would love for college football to play this way.

2926
02:37:20,240 --> 02:37:21,520
Speaker 4: Then they have to put those games on.

2927
