I don't know if in one day 8 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: we've had as much chaos and incredible sports as we 9 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: had on Sunday. I mean, it was one of the 10 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: wildest sports days I can remember, and I'm including n 11 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: c A tournament, NBA finals. Um, I'm not a huge 12 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: Olympics guy, but we haven't had the World Cup during 13 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: this podcast, and you know I'm a big World Cup guy, Folks. 14 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: Between the amazing Argentine to France game on Sunday morning 15 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: followed by just cheer chaos in the NFL all afternoon, 16 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: I can't. I mean, two defensive walk off touchdowns. There's 17 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: a It's a good thing. There was no camera in 18 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: my house when the Raiders play went down, because folks, 19 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: I was upstairs and I watched. I you know, I 20 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 1: have I'm one of these guys who has red Zone 21 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: on every TV going at the same time, just so 22 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: I don't miss anything. So upstairs doing whatever, and I 23 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: have red Zone on, and the Raiders play starts happening, 24 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: and as soon as Chandler Jones intercepted it, I start going, 25 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: oh my gosh. And then he dump trucks and stiff 26 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: arms Mac Jones to the carpet and I'm like, oh 27 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: my god, my son's downstairs, and I start running down 28 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: the stairs screaming bright are you watching this? It was believable. 29 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: I think I got downstairs before Chandler Jones got to 30 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: the end zone. I mean, that was amazing. You have 31 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: to walk off defensive touchdowns. You're the Chargers winning on 32 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: the last second field goal. My Jets in a crushing defeat, 33 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: losing on a last second field goal. Seven of the 34 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: games at one and four pm using East Coast time, 35 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: We're determined by one score over the and I'm not 36 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: even We're not even talking about Saturday yet, when the 37 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 1: Vikings had the biggest comeback in the NFL history from 38 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: down thirty three nothing. We had three games this weekend 39 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: in the NFL where the opponent was down seventeen or 40 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: more and came back to win two at home and 41 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: one on the road Cincinnati, which is a game we'd 42 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: probably do thirty minutes on ordinarily, but you know, because 43 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: I hate the Bengals, just kidding, Bengals fans, we'll obviously 44 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: talk about that. Jacksonville down ten storms back to beat 45 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 1: Dallas on a walk off defensive touchdown. Amazing. And then 46 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,839 Speaker 1: of course the Minnesota Vice Kings, which, you know, it's 47 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: hard to even discuss what the hell happened on Saturday, 48 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 1: but so so much happened after that on Sunday, I don't 49 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: even really know where to start. Oh, by the way, 50 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: did you guys see the Lakers kind of buried the 51 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: news that Anthony Davis is gonna be out a month. 52 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they announced it in overtime during the 53 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: World Cup, and I we got invited to two different 54 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: World Cup gatherings. Now, remember seven am Pacific is quite early, 55 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 1: So I went with my daughter to a buddy's house 56 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: watched it with a bunch of people. Then I picked 57 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: up my son and went to the second half at 58 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: another buddy's house. And that guy's wife is from Argentina 59 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: and her family was there, so they all had Argentina 60 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: Jersey is very exciting, and they have season tickets to 61 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: the Lakers, So you know, I get start getting texts 62 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: from friends obviously about the World Cup. And I see 63 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis at a month. Then normally it would just 64 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: gloss over. But I'm with a buddy who has season tickets. 65 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: I'm like Anthony Davis at a month. He's like, I'm 66 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: going to the game too. Oh my god. You know, 67 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: it's quickly instantly back to messy versus babe. Normally I'd 68 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: start with NFL, but I just have to get the 69 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: World Cup out of the way first. I know a 70 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: lot of people knock soccer as, oh, it's so boring, 71 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: and the fake injuries and blah blah blah and the 72 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: magic spray when guys get injured. Folks, I don't care 73 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: what narrative you want to say about soccer, even if 74 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: you're the hardest, I don't care about soccer. If you 75 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: watched any of that game, you were just totally blown 76 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: away by the narratives and the drama and the overtime 77 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,239 Speaker 1: and the penalty kicks. It was simply amazing. I can't 78 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: say enough about how great it was. And listen this 79 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: is not just me saying all of this because I 80 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: gave out Argentina in the summer. It was June. I 81 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: wrote about it on Fox Sports before the tournament. I 82 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: was loaded up on Argentina futures. It went great. I 83 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: of course had Messy to score the first goal. If 84 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: you guys follow me on, I g you got all 85 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: the soccer picks and you know, Messy bangs home the 86 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: pak because you know he's taken a p K and 87 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: of course there was a foul in the box. Messy bam. 88 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: I had both teams to score like it was. It 89 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: was probably the greatest single soccer match I've ever had 90 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: gambling in my life. Um, and then I took a 91 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,559 Speaker 1: couple of long shots like it to go penalty kicks 92 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: Argentina to win in penalties. It was just really just 93 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: an unbelievable stroke. And oh, by the way, uh, this 94 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 1: guy embop A had a hat trick. You know, it 95 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,799 Speaker 1: was just such an unbelievable game. So happy for Messi. 96 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: We can end the silly goat debate like there there's 97 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: no no question Messi is the goat. Come on, guys, 98 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: like you can't argue that. By the way, when he 99 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: scored in overtime. The tap in, it felt like, oh, 100 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: that's it, that was it. MESSI the game when he 101 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: goll it overtop. You can't write these stories. It was 102 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: almost like, and I know some people are gonna grown 103 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: Lebron coming back to the Lakers winning a title, coming 104 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: back to Cleveland, not coming back to the Lakers, sorry, 105 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: going to the Lakers winning title after going back to 106 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: Cleveland and when a title and winning with the heat. 107 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: It was just like, this stuff is storybook finished, Like 108 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: you can't write a script. Dis incredible. And then you know, 109 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: we race home to start watching NFL and it felt 110 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: like a massive buzz kill going from you know, seven 111 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: million Argentinians singing Messy in the streets. I mean it 112 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: felt like that. When you see the videos online, it 113 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: was unbelievable. I'm sure you guys saw the dress cantor 114 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: the guy who says no and screams it for like 115 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: an hour, the video of him who he's from Argentina, 116 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: him talking about the final PK, he like almost starts 117 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: crying and keeps it together, and the passion. It's just 118 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: you just don't get that anywhere. It's just not the same. 119 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: Even when you know, Ray Shawn Jenkins or whatever his 120 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: name is of the Jags gets that bobbled uh pick 121 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: six to walk off for the Jackson. By the way, 122 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: that was an awesome finish. I don't know how the 123 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: hell Noah Brown didn't catch that. I didn't love Dak 124 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: throwing it into what perceived was a crowd, But on 125 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: replaces it was like, Dak squeeze that in there. No 126 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: Brown just off his hands as he's falling down. Just 127 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: devastating for Dallas. Um. But yeah, it's a World Cup. 128 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: It was amazing. Thank you guys for all the comments 129 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: of the d m S.

Oh, 138 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: by the way, Canada will be hosting in Toronto and Vancouver, Mexico, 139 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: in Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterey. I don't are there as 140 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: teams are gonna be just criss crossing, or maybe you 141 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: could put pods in certain areas, you know, obviously Mexico 142 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: and there, and there are more teams now. I didn't, 143 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: I haven't fully looked, didn't do it. I don't know 144 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: how you're gonna do forty eight teams in the World Cup. 145 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: Like I mean, some of the countries at the bottom 146 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: of the World Cup this year we're pretty bad. But 147 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: alas two four years away, it'll be the greatest World 148 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: Cup ever, because the next World Cup is always the greatest. 149 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 150 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox Sports 151 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: Radio dot com and within the I Heart Radio app. 152 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:29,239 Speaker 1: Search f s R to listen live. As for the NFL, listen, 153 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 1: I probably could start with the Raiders saving Josh McDaniels. 154 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: I mean Derek Carr. Nobody's talking about how bad Derek 155 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: Carr was with that pick six, McDaniels blowing another double 156 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: digit lead. Nobody's talking about that because the Patriots gave 157 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: the game away on the lateral play. I should start there, 158 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: but I probably could start with the Jags against the 159 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: Cowboys and what was an amazing finish. I think I 160 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: saw an awesome lineup of what the playoff picture would be. 161 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,959 Speaker 1: These are the potential quarterbacks in the a f C. Mahomes, 162 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: Alan Burrow, Lawrence, Herbert Lamar and TWA or Mike White. 163 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: Of course if the Jets somehow sneak and so let's 164 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: start with the Jets, okay, because I got to get 165 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: it off my chest. It hurt, It hurt bad. It 166 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 1: was a stinging loss. And I hate taking the Jets 167 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: and the contest because if they don't deliver, and they 168 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: had this year, then it hurts doubly, so if that's 169 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: even possible. Contest did not go great one three and 170 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: once amazingly, I did not lose a lot of ground 171 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: in the contest because everybody else did horribly. And I'm 172 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: at fifty six point nine percent, which is pretty good. Now, well, 173 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: I think it's one of my top four um could 174 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: be one of my top four finishes ever, a still 175 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: striking distance of the money, but it's gonna be. It's 176 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: gotten a lot harder with only three weeks left at 177 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: any rate. So the Jets basically play, you know, Ben, 178 00:09:54,480 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: but don't break defense for fifties seven minutes. Uh, Lions 179 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: go over three in the red zone. Jets have a chance. 180 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: All they need is a stop on fourth and one 181 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: because they're winning thanks to a touchdown drive. And Ben 182 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: Johnson a name. I mean, you probably wouldn't know him 183 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 1: if he delivered a pizza to your house like tomorrow. 184 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: I certainly would not. But Ben Johnson the offensive coordinator Lions. 185 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: He should get interviews, obviously based on his body of 186 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: work this year, but simply based on the play call 187 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: fourth and inches from midfield. They put in a tight 188 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 1: end named brock Wright, thirteen catches on the season, undrafted, 189 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: had no catches all game. They put him and had 190 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: him block and then leak out in just a stroke 191 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: of genius. The Jets defenders are saying, you know, we 192 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: we saw every Lions play this season. They did not 193 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: have that plan on tape. They say it for the 194 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 1: perfect time. Brock Wright wide open, goes fifty one yards 195 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: for a touchdown. Just a backbreaker. The Jets were just 196 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 1: totally befuddled. I mean, how the world was fourth and 197 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: inches from midfield and you're gonna throw that. It was genius, 198 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: but Ben Johnson deserves interviews. Listen, if I'm a team 199 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: looking for a coach and I'm gonna find the next 200 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: young offensive mind, I think that's the guy you gotta 201 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: look at. Johnson called the great game. By the way, 202 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: Jets did not sack off other fund stats, Sauce Gardner 203 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: played sixty six naps on defense. He was not targeted once. 204 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: That's how much respect Ben Johnson has for Sauce the 205 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: defensive Ki Year did not throw it at once. And 206 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: despite all this, the Jets had a chance to win 207 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: because Zack Wilson delivered with a couple Listen, I know 208 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: Zack Wilson's much maligned. He had a brutal interception in 209 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: the third quarter. He had almost a horrendous interception later. 210 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: It might have been early fourth or third, but it 211 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: was just like bro this is why Zach Wilson's done. 212 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: An NFL quarterback. The guy stinks and then he gets 213 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 1: the ball back deep in his own end with three 214 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: time outs, which was hugely key. And it's I believe 215 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 1: fourth and eighteen he makes a nails throw to Garrett Wilson. 216 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: By the way, Zach Wilson seventeen yards, two touchdowns. Seven 217 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: past completions of twenty and more yards. Those are big 218 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: place seven of them. He completes this awesome pass to 219 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson. Then they get another situation he's sacked. They 220 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: need a big time pass. Zach Wilson delivers again on 221 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: the final drive. This one went for Elijah Moore uh 222 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: for twenty yards on fourth and eighteen, So basically converted 223 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 1: a third and nineteen to Wilson a fourth and eighteen. 224 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: Two more and they called time out with one second left, 225 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: but they still I think they ended the games with 226 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: two time outs. I'm sorry with one time out, which 227 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: they shouldn't have. They should have burned it earlier to 228 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: give themselves more time to get in range. Greg the 229 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: legs are line here row a few weeks ago shanks 230 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: a fifty eight yard or and never had a chance 231 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: and the Jets lose a heartbreaker. So as of this moment, 232 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: they have a twenty five percent chance to get into 233 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Basically, they gotta win out, which is I mean, 234 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: really is that going to happen? They got Thursday night 235 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: Jags massive game. I hope Mike White is back for 236 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: that one. Jags are still going to be partying after 237 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 1: that went over Dallas. Then they're at Seattle at Miami. Listen. 238 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: Bottom line, the Jets had this game. Robert Sala, terrible 239 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: job with the timeouts, special teams got embarrassed, gave up 240 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 1: a long punt return touchdown, missed field goal at the end, 241 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: and the defense on the biggest play of the season. 242 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: You need, you gotta get one stop. They left Brock 243 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: right wide open and he delivers the massive touchdown and 244 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: the Jets lose. But you know this, it's silver lining. 245 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 1: I can't find a silver line and they freaking lost. 246 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: I'm angry. It's disappointing. Seven and se I'm on a 247 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: text chain with some buddies who are Jets fans. There's 248 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: not a lot of them out there, and it was 249 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: just like you you felt like a gut punch. You 250 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: needed to lie down after that because there was so 251 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: much drama. Fourth and one, gotta get to stop, third 252 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: and eighteen, fourth and eighteen and like just so many 253 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: like oh my gosh, season on the line place and 254 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: ultimately it's a loss for the Jets. But the good 255 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: news is and again, you gotta find silver linings. And 256 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: it doesn't involve the Jets. The Chargers look to be 257 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: going to the playoffs now have an eighty six percent 258 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: chance thanks to a awesome Justin Herbert drive. I'll say 259 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: this about Herbert. He was incredible as usual. Did have 260 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: two red zone interceptions or Chargers win this and a 261 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: walk over. Um, you gotta push if you took the 262 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: Chargers at three. Herbert delivers on the final drive. Dicker, 263 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: the kicker, Cameron Dicker comes through with a I don't know, 264 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: forty yard kick or what a forty three yard or 265 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: to beat the Titans. Titans are really folks and they 266 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: might lose their playoff spot. They you don't want to 267 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: see them in the playoffs. They're not a fun watch. 268 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: The defense is so banged up and other than Derrick 269 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: Henry like, they're just not a good football team. I 270 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: know people love Rabel, but this that's a boring watch. 271 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: I want to see Herbert in the playoffs. And by 272 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: the way, this defense should be getting Derwin James back 273 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: the Bosa brother. Hopefully the offensive line can get healthier. 274 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, if thought, if the Chargers are 275 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: fully healthy, they're gonna be a handful for Joe Burrow 276 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: and Cincinnati. UM, I mean I think you gotta. You 277 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: gotta like Herbert chances against Trevor Lawrence in a playoff game, 278 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: don't you. Um, I don't know about going to Buffalo 279 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: if I'm Herbert, given how well they play against the Chiefs, 280 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: I'd rather, I know this gonna sound crazy, I'd rather 281 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: go to Kansas City than Buffalo if I'm justin Herbert 282 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: and the Chargers. And I do think this Kansas City 283 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: team is super Bowl worthy, but I just watched their 284 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: defense for the second straight week just get pushed around. 285 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: I mean, it was a bit of an impulse play 286 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: taking Casey against Houston, But folks, I mean Houston was 287 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: down five starters, they were down their best cornerback, their 288 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: number three cornerback, UM, their top two receivers, their best 289 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: running back, and they just move the ball at will 290 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: against Kansas City. It was a little embarrassing. If I'm 291 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: if I'm a Chargers, I'm sorry. If I'm a Chiefs fan, 292 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: I'm like, can Spagnolo get us for the promised lad 293 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: We just got to rely on Patrick Mahomes to bail 294 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: us out every freaking week. Now he does have the 295 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: skills to bail them out. They got Tony back, they 296 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: got a I mean, listen, that offense is gonna move, 297 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: especially against the Texans. But I'm gonna give the Chargers 298 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: a very live chance in that first round. And when 299 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: you've got Justin Herbert, you're definitely most certainly going to 300 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: be alive and in the mix. Um, I'll give Joe 301 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,359 Speaker 1: Burrow his flowers. But I just need to talk about 302 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: how ridiculous gambling on the NFL can be. If you 303 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: took Tampa Bay and the contest, you're getting three and 304 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: a half points at home, you're leading seventeen nothing. Oh, 305 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: by the way, Tom Brady in home games in his 306 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: career up seventeen or more eight nine and oh, he 307 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: never lost a home game in his in his career 308 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: when he was up seventeen or more. They led seventeen nothing. 309 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: And then the second half happened. And this wasn't Cincinnati 310 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: steam rolling Tampa. This was a straight up Tom Brady 311 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: slash Tampa implosion. So they, for some reason, Bowls dialed 312 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 1: up a fake punt on the opening drive. They botched 313 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: that and then it's just snowball. It led to a 314 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: field goal next possession interception led to a touchdown, then 315 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: a Brady fumble led to a touchdown, then another fumble 316 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: led to a touchdown, then an interception. At this point, 317 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay is going like twenty three yards, thirty two yards, 318 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 1: seventeen yards, like super short drives. Are you ready for this? 319 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 1: Cincinnati had two and thirty seven yards of total offense 320 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: and scored thirty four points. They averaged three point eight 321 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: yards per play. That's it, and they won the game. 322 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: That's because Tampa turned the ball over four times in 323 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: that stupid fake punt thing. So if you bet Tampa, 324 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: you're just sitting here like I've never seen anything like 325 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: this happened, folks. Cincinnati's first half was the worst they've 326 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: had since Joe Burrow became the quarterback. They ran fourteen 327 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 1: plays for eighty three yards. And if you're looking for 328 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: any concern with the Bengals, and I know Bengals fans are, like, 329 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: you've always got to find the negativity, Jason, Why three 330 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 1: games in a row, no points in the first quarter? 331 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: Now their defense is beat up. I'll give him that. 332 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 1: Brady had a couple of long drives, but overall, Bengals 333 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 1: go from oh and two to ten and four, and 334 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: they've covered a staggering nineteen of their last twenty two games. 335 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: Bengal's got something good cooking. Um, I probably should take 336 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: some time to talk about the Saturday games, but I'm 337 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: not simply because you know they're two days old. The 338 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: Vikings had an amazing comeback. They won. I had Kirk 339 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: Cousins and Fantasy W had zero points at half, and 340 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: it was like thirty four Browns, which I talked about 341 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: I liked a lot on the pod Friday Brown's win 342 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: and cover thirteen three against Tailor Huntley. And then I'm 343 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 1: just gonna take a quick second. I know you guys 344 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 1: want to get to Rob G's Raiders, and we will 345 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: get to that. But the Buffalo Bills do not look 346 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: good at all. I'm talking at all. Saturday night I 347 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: went on like this, um like boat parade cruise with 348 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 1: the family, you know, and I'm like, all right, Buffalo 349 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 1: should be in shape. This should be easy. I'll check 350 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: out the game online. I'm watching a little bit and 351 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: I'm like, huh, Buffalo is not getting stopped and giving 352 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: up big players. What the hell is going on here? 353 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: What are we doing? Guys? And that this was a 354 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: recurring theme the three best teams in the NFL this weekend, 355 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 1: Eagles sputtered on the road, could not cover had the 356 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: Bears in the contest. Chiefs I already mentioned needing to 357 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: go to overtime against the sorry as Texans. Uh, and 358 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: they get the win. By the way, the Chiefs have 359 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: won the division seven times in a row. I did 360 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: not realize that dominance. And then there's the Bills who 361 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: barely beat my me. They let Towah in the snow 362 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: go up and down the field to a lost another 363 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: cold game. But it wasn't his fault. I mean, what 364 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: an incredible ending that was. Unless you had Buffalo favored 365 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 1: by seven, you would have got a push. But the 366 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: running back goes down at the four yard line because 367 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: they wanted to kick a field goal. And I'm sitting 368 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: here watching this in the car, like, wait a minute, 369 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: you want to kick a field goal in a driving snowstorm. 370 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: I was stunned. I thought, you just want to score 371 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: the touchdown and ended squid kick and it's over. And 372 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: they did not do that. They take the field goal 373 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: and get the win and no cover. So Buffalo's defense 374 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: looks susceptible. Chief's defense looks susceptible. It ain't the Eagles 375 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: defense that the problem. It was just a weird game. 376 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts had two picks. He only had three coming 377 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 1: into the game all season. But this is where you 378 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: need to be concerned. Um, justin Field sacks six times. 379 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta protect this guy. He gets knocked 380 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: out of the game, comes back and gets the cover. 381 00:20:55,560 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: Incredible stuff. The Eagles might became the first defense in 382 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: NFL history to have four players with ten or more sacks. 383 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: Reddick and Hargrave already there. Sweat has nine and a 384 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: half and Graham has eight and a half. Eagles lead 385 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 1: the league with fifty five sacks. And I mean, if 386 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: you don't have an offensive line against his team, you're 387 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 1: in deep, deep trouble. They are just dominating the line 388 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Um. And Jalen Hurts, Yes, he's still the 389 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: MVP frontrunner. Um, he's about the tie Cam Newton's record 390 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: for most rushing touchdowns in the season for a quarterback. 391 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: Hurts his nice folks, Um, But I think it's time 392 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: we talk about Rob G's raiders. Fox Sports Radio has 393 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all 394 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: of our shows at Fox Sports Radio dot com and 395 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: within the I Heart Radio app search f s R 396 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: to listen live. Al Right, so I want to bring 397 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: Rob g in to talk about this Raiders game, which 398 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: was I don't know, probably one of the wildest endings 399 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: I've ever seen in sports, only because I guys, I'm 400 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: not kidding. I was ready to open the podcast shitting 401 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: on Josh McDaniels and Derek Carr. They were dominating that game. 402 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: Sevent three. We know they've blown four double digit halftime 403 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,479 Speaker 1: leads this year. There's no way this is gonna be five, right, 404 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: and then car throws one of the worst pick six 405 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: is I've seen all season. I mean, it was just 406 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: it was like, what did that? What just happened? That 407 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 1: guy jumped the route? You don't expect that from like 408 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: an experienced quarterback, and the Raiders never recovered. They putted 409 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: I think four or five times right after that, end 410 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: up getting a luck box TV in the final minute, 411 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 1: like okay, it's gonna go to overtime. And of course, 412 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: as you've seen the high light now I put it 413 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: on my I G. It's all over the internet. I 414 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: think with Stevenson broke off a big run laterals it 415 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 1: to Jacobe Myers, and at this point, because he broke 416 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:42,719 Speaker 1: off like a thirty yard run, You're like, oh, are 417 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: they gonna score times out? Um, you know, I guess 418 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: they'll just play for overtime. But I guess Myers had 419 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: one of those moments like, Oh, we're in the middle 420 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: of going thirty five yards down the field. I think 421 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: they were approaching like the twenty five yard line. I 422 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: need to get it exact. But and then all of 423 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: a sudden he decides to just chuck it back and 424 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: I swear for a moment, I was like, oh my gosh, 425 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,120 Speaker 1: the Patriots are going to score on this, are they? 426 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 1: And as soon as the ball comes down, you hear 427 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: the announcer like, oh my gosh. And Chandler Jones, a 428 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: guy we have taken a dump on this podcast so 429 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: many times this season because he stinks intercepts it stiff 430 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,239 Speaker 1: arms mac Jones to the ground, and the rest, as 431 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: they say, is history. Rob g. The Raiders are back 432 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 1: in that. No they're not just because they got this. 433 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: They are not in the wayoffs. This team has major problems. 434 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: They did not deserve this win. McDaniels I would say 435 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: it's frankly lucky and how it ended, because I'm telling 436 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: you he would have been hammered had they lost this game, 437 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: oh thousand percent. I mean I was hammering him in 438 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: my Raider fan groups texts, uh even after they won 439 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: the game, like he's not a good coach. I'm trying 440 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 1: to tell you this all season, but I've seen some 441 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: weird ship as a Raiders fan, Like just going back 442 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: how or thirty play years I've been watching football. You know, 443 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: the tough rules obviously the one that stands out most recently, 444 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: but then you've got like the immaculate reception, and there's 445 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,360 Speaker 1: just been a laundry list of plays that don't make 446 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: any sense that's always seemed to happen in the Raider games. 447 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: This one has to be at the top as one 448 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: of the most bizarre ways you could lose a game 449 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,719 Speaker 1: that I've ever seen, Like, I think this one and 450 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: what was it the the kick six against Alabama that 451 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 1: one a few years ago before you those were probably 452 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 1: like the two craziest things I've ever seen. And that 453 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: what makes it even more interesting is after the game 454 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 1: they asked Bill Belichick, well, why didn't you try the 455 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,120 Speaker 1: hall Mary? Then you know, if you knew you didn't 456 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: have time for a field goal, Well why did you 457 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: do that? He says, Well, we can't throw it that far. 458 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 1: Oh good, it's only forty five yards away. If mac 459 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: Jones got throwing forty five yards, I don't think you've 460 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: been inf our quarterback. But mac Jones, Rob, have you 461 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 1: have you seen this deadline of thirty one for a 462 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,640 Speaker 1: hundred and twelve yards? That's it? Like they don't trust 463 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,679 Speaker 1: him at all. By the way, um, I have to 464 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: send my notes. Heading into the fourth quarter, mac Jones 465 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: had sixty five yards passing. I don't want to hear 466 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: the Zach Wilson slander. I'm done with it. We know 467 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: he's not good, but stop trying to force mac Jones 468 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 1: down my throat like he's good. Sixty five yards passing, 469 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: you can't be trusted to throw hill Mary, and you 470 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: finished the game with a hundred and twelve yards passing. 471 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 1: I don't know how, just unbelievable. How does mac Jones 472 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: when he leaves, when Josh McDaniels leaves him, gets exponentially worse, 473 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 1: And then Derek Carr once Josh McDaniels riot gets exponentially 474 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,479 Speaker 1: worse as well. You would think it would be one 475 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: of them would get better somewhere or fashion. But even 476 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: more interesting, on top of that, we can't throw the 477 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: Hall Mary comment by Bill Belichick. We find out afterwards 478 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: from Jacoby Myers in the in the locker room. Obviously 479 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: he's very dejected. He's upset. I understand it's one of 480 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 1: the craziest players I've ever seen. But they asked him 481 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: about the play and the way I inferred it was 482 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: they didn't even have that called the lateral pitch back 483 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: kind of play. Romandre Stevens just decided when he was 484 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 1: going before going out of bounds, he would toss it 485 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: to Jacoby Myers, and he's all right, well, I guess 486 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: we're doing this now. And then he decided, hey, there's 487 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: Mac Jones thirty yards away, and we throw it to him. 488 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure you can make something happen. And he says 489 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: he quote did not see Chandler Jones. Dude like six 490 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: five to seventy just standing in the middle of the field. 491 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: Didn't see him. So I mean, I'll take it. You know, 492 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: any win we can get right now is a good one, 493 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: considering that all we do is blow up four team 494 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: plus point leads, but um, it's not a good football 495 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,239 Speaker 1: team still so but yeah, I mean, I don't think 496 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: the Raiders are really going anywhere in terms of like, 497 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: I don't think they're a playoff team. But you know, 498 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 1: Rob earlier I rattled off the name of the playoff 499 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 1: quarterbacks for the a f C. If you have you 500 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,479 Speaker 1: looked at the quarterbacks in the NFC that would make 501 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 1: the playoffs because I'm gonna be honest, it is pretty 502 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: bleak and and I don't't care what anybody says. Tom 503 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: Brady is not like a top ten quarterback. The numbers 504 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 1: may say something, but he is not playing at a 505 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 1: high level. And Dak Prescott, by the way, also really 506 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 1: riding the struggle bust lately. I I haven't loved what 507 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: I've seen so the NFC quarterbacks at the season end 508 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: of today for the playoffs Jalen Hurts, Kirk Cousins, Brock Purdy, 509 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Dak Prescott. I can't believe I have to 510 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: say this. Daniel Jones and Taylor Heineken, like that is 511 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: as bad of a group as it gets. Now. I 512 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: haven't totally looked, but you know, if the Detroit Lions 513 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 1: find their way to the playoffs, Rob, I don't I 514 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: honestly don't want to see them. If I'm like the 515 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. They already beat you once and they were 516 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 1: outplayed by the Lions in the other game. I think 517 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: the Lions can really push them. I don't know if 518 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: Washington Camp Washington is not bad, but the offense, holy hell, 519 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 1: just very bleak. I don't know that the Giants are 520 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: are any good. I don't really know if the NFCY 521 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 1: is that good at all. Like, seriously, if you look 522 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: at a team outside of the playoffs in the a 523 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: f C, take like the Jaguars, they would be dangerous 524 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: as hell in the NFC, wouldn't they? Oh thousand percent. 525 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone would have ever like they would 526 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: have laughed if we would have said this six weeks 527 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: ago before the season. I don't know if there's anybody 528 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,400 Speaker 1: entering mid December Christmas week here that's playing better football 529 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 1: than the Detroit Lions and you, they would laugh you 530 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 1: out of the room if you said that on the 531 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 1: podcast in September or July whatever. And between them and 532 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: the suddenly surging Jacksonville Jaguars, you had two teams that 533 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 1: were dumpster fire also ran type squads entering entering the season, 534 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: and now suddenly they are legitimate dark horse candidates, not 535 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: just to get to the playoffs, but if they get in, 536 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: nobody don't want to see them because they're playing really 537 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: good football the last you know, month plus of the season. 538 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: Let me push back on the Lions. I know they've 539 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: covered seventh straight and they want an outdoor game. So 540 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: with two minutes and thirty seconds left, they're facing fourth 541 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: and one in midfield. They're over three in the red 542 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: zone for the whole game. If they don't convert that, 543 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,719 Speaker 1: they lose to the Jets. And then what's the narrative? 544 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: They lost a Zach Wilson. Oh my god, what an embarrassment, 545 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: right they get they dial up. I already talked about it. 546 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: But the Ben Johnson play the fourth and one throw 547 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: to the tight end, incredible play call. The league has 548 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: such narrow margins, rob it is amazing. Like again, if 549 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: the Raiders don't get that interception of a lateral and 550 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: run it back, we're crucifying Josh McDaniels. We're doing what 551 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: five teams could Derek Carr play for next year? Right? Um? 552 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: I mean you could do this, Like if Dallas the 553 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: whole wins in overtime, it doesn't throw the pick six 554 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: off Noah Brown's hands. We're talking about, Oh my gosh, 555 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: next week Cowboys Eagles. It's for first place in the 556 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: NFC East and the number one seed. Oh my gosh, 557 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: there's so much a stake, like the league has such 558 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: narrow margins. It really is amazing. Like I mean, I'm 559 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: gonna ask your team, Rob, are they good or not? 560 00:29:54,560 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, No, I don't know, And now I'm asking this. 561 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: I haven't really talked about this. We just saw Kyler 562 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: Marie get paid in the off season, get an injury, 563 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: and he's probably gonna miss I would say next season, 564 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: right A c l s takes a while to come back, 565 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: but he got paid, So who gives a ship. Lamar 566 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: Jackson has a knee injury. He didn't get paid. Do 567 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: you think Lamar is looking? Kyla Muran said, damn. He 568 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: They backed up the Brins for him. He got paid 569 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: and now he's injured. You ain't gonna play next year 570 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: and he got paid. What happens if I get hurt? 571 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: What if I put myself on the line. These guys 572 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: haven't paid me, do you think? And remember, according to schefter, 573 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: Lamar Jacksons is expected to return next week. If you're 574 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, listen, I know Baltimore is somehow leading the division, 575 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: but this team is not good right now. If you're Lamar, 576 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: you are we sure you're rushing back Rob. Who's advising 577 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: this guy? Well, that part of the problem is that 578 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: you don't know who's advising it. I mean, either he 579 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: should have held out from the beginning and said, until 580 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: I get him my guarantee contract, I'm not playing a snap, 581 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: or he should have accepted the deal that was a 582 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: present in front of him. Now that he's in this limbo. 583 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: The only thing that would have got him whatever it 584 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: is he was looking forward, which was the fully guaranteed deal, 585 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: was he'd have to basically win the m v P 586 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: or have an m v P caliber season. He started 587 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 1: off great the first two or three weeks of the season. 588 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: Since then, it's been bad by his standards. He just 589 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: has not played good football relative to what you expect 590 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: from him. So now, if you're Baltimore, I don't even 591 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: know if that deal they had before the season is 592 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: on the table still, because you're you're like, look, everything 593 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: that we had concerns about you coming into the season 594 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: came to fruition. You're you're passing never developed to the 595 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: level that we needed to do. To the rushing. I 596 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: don't know if it's consciously or subconsciously, but he's not 597 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: running as much as he was a couple of years. 598 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: Bad during the season and he got hurt, so all 599 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: the that trifecta is not working out in his favor. 600 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: So if you're Lamar Jackson, I don't know if there's 601 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: anything he could do. If when he does come back 602 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: next week, assuming he does over the next the rest 603 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: of the season, that's going to change their minds. Of course, 604 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: the counter is Lamar will say, well, I don't, I 605 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: don't what do you care. I don't want that deal anyway. 606 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: I'll just get franchise tagged. And I think it's like 607 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 1: the average franchise tag for him next year is gonna 608 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: be like forty million anyway, right somewhere in that neighborhood. 609 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: So he's like, I'll just take the forty and you 610 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 1: can eat to tag me. But I don't. I don't 611 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: want to come back here, And then it gets untenable. 612 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: It's like, what can you do? It's just nothing about that. 613 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: Now they do have an easy game this week against 614 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 1: the Falcon so I it might be swept under the 615 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: rug and hill. Maybe you don't even start him. Did 616 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: you see what Desmond Ritter did in his first game? 617 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I don't want to spend any 618 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: time you're talking about Desmond Ridder's debut. But he was 619 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,479 Speaker 1: thirteen of twenty six for nineties seven yards Mac Jones 620 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: for that kind of game. Who he didn't push down 621 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: the field. His longest completion was fourteen yards to a 622 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: tight end. I think the kid prove it. So the 623 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: bottom mine is and that was indoors in good conditions. 624 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: I don't know, listen, I know we're burying this like 625 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 1: thirty five minutes in the podcast, but Rob next week 626 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: is going to be all about the weather. I don't 627 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: I don't know how how much you care about this stuff. 628 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: Of course, I am looking for any gambling edge I 629 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: can find some of these early projected temperatures for next week. Unbelievable. 630 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 1: You're gonna have Steelers in eighteen degree weather. We're looking 631 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 1: at Saints Brown's they're calling it maybe six degrees next 632 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: next Sunday. I'm sorry. Next Saturday they play Saturday, you 633 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 1: know the lake effects stuff in Cleveland six weeks they're 634 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: calling it one of the coldest games of the year. 635 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: Bills that Bear Saturday, it's gonna be another one. The totals, 636 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: I mean, the total for sts Brown's Rob is thirty 637 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 1: four and a half. That's a that's obscene, Like I 638 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: think the lowest total so far the seasons, like thirty six. 639 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: So next weekend is gonna be the weather weekend. Chiefs. 640 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: They're calling for fifteen degrees at Arrowhead. Seahawks at Chiefs. 641 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: You love to see that. Hopefully the Seahawks go down. Um, 642 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,319 Speaker 1: but Rob, I guess we can wrap up with this 643 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 1: like I did open. You heard me talking about all 644 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 1: the best teams. Philly look kind of ordinary. Um, Chiefs 645 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: struggle to put away the Texans and need overtime. UM, 646 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: Bengals were down seventeen nothing and really Tampa Bay lost 647 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: that game. I don't think Cincinnati wanted. UM, Minnesota was 648 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: down thirty three nothing like is just just an aberration 649 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: or is there something here? Like, Man, there's some of 650 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 1: these teams just aren't that good. I think that well, 651 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,320 Speaker 1: the NFL is the King of parody, right, So you know, 652 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: all these teams have some kind of chink in the 653 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: armor that's gonna expose them a little bit. And what 654 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:56,320 Speaker 1: we've seen, especially the last couple of weeks is even 655 00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 1: the best teams have really really big holes can be 656 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 1: exploited in the right matchup. Kansas City, for Patrick Mahomes, 657 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 1: who is fantastic. Him and Travis Kelsey are are probably 658 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: the most lethal combination consistently on a week to week 659 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: basis in the NFL, and that defense is going to 660 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 1: give you opportunities to at minimum score with them. I mean, 661 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 1: I don't know if you can outscore the Chiefs, Like 662 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 1: that's kind of really hard to do because even in 663 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: a bad game, I think my Homes completed twenty three passes. 664 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 1: But they're gonna give you opportunities. So if they've run 665 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,720 Speaker 1: into the Bengals again in the playoffs, or the Bills 666 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 1: or even the Dolphins teams that can score quickly as well, 667 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,240 Speaker 1: it's going to be a dog fight for them. And 668 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 1: Buffalo we saw over the weekend they can't run the 669 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 1: ball to save their lives outside of Josh Allen. So 670 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 1: when things get tight and you need to stall the 671 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,440 Speaker 1: clock down a little bit and the other team has 672 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 1: some momentum, you gotta kind of get a couple of 673 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 1: first downs and eat up some time. They haven't shown 674 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,240 Speaker 1: they can do that yet. They're they're just as likely 675 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: to go three and now as they are to score 676 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,880 Speaker 1: a touchdown, because that's just the way they play. And 677 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 1: so I don't know if it's necessarily these teams aren't 678 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: very good. It's that the teams that you're gonna see 679 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,800 Speaker 1: in the playoffs are all uniquely qualified to expose one another. 680 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 1: So that's why I wouldn't be surprised if you see 681 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: a wild card team, like I mentioned the Detroit Lions, 682 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 1: if they get in, make a deeper run than you 683 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,479 Speaker 1: would expect because the matches work in their favor. Yeah, 684 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: it could just be one of those weeks where I 685 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: look at all the games rob and I'm like, yeah, 686 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,919 Speaker 1: I don't trust anybody, and then well, you know, maybe 687 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 1: the Lions can be something. Um, I gotta be honest, 688 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:38,399 Speaker 1: I thought the Jets defense locked them up. I think 689 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,440 Speaker 1: the Jets defense is really good. Yeah, it's the offense 690 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: the problems. Really would not like to discuss Zach Wilson further. 691 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 1: I guess we can wrap up here, rob, I am curious, Uh, 692 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: what do most podcasts do? Like holiday week? Um? Is 693 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: Christmas is sneaking up on us here? Like literally, um, 694 00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 1: six days to go? I know there is a robust 695 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: NFL schedule next Sunday. What do you think we should do? 696 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 1: Should we open up to the audience or no, if 697 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,479 Speaker 1: you'd like, I mean, the damns are always open, both 698 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: the things for you and for me, so if people 699 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:15,400 Speaker 1: want to not at all. If anyone who goes on 700 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 1: any of my social media know that I'm a nerd 701 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 1: on Twitter or nothing, there's nothing personal on there, and 702 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,399 Speaker 1: on Instagram it's literally just pictures of my daughter. There's 703 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 1: nothing sports related on there. It's like, you gotta step 704 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 1: it up. I know, I know you obviously you love 705 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 1: your daughter, but I mean, come on, get a little interested. 706 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 1: I gotta shirtlists photos on the gram that way, I 707 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 1: gotta be like they map it up so it's funny. Um. 708 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll tag my wife on stuff and then she, like, 709 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 1: you know, random people that she doesn't know try to 710 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 1: like follow her, and she she will come to me 711 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 1: and say, like, do you know this person? I was like, now, 712 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 1: I don't know them. It's like, you know, but random 713 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,439 Speaker 1: people try to follow her. She's like, I'm not letting 714 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,240 Speaker 1: these you know, I don't. You know, she has photos 715 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 1: of the kids and just private stuff. So she's really 716 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 1: gets upset with that. But I'll say this, so, um, 717 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:06,800 Speaker 1: we had our sixth grade basketball draft for my son's 718 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:10,840 Speaker 1: league over the weekend and it's funny, did another no 719 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 1: trading here. I tried to pick up I tried to 720 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:19,799 Speaker 1: pick up a two thousand three unprotected but I was 721 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 1: not able to do that. Um. But anyway, so it 722 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 1: was like an evaluation recently for uh, some of the 723 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: players that we don't know. And this was funny. But like, 724 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 1: you know, I'm one of the coaches helping the commission 725 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 1: because I'm buddies with the commission. Nice guy. He's a 726 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:36,719 Speaker 1: Lions fan, so I do not want to talk about 727 00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 1: the Lions. Um, I'm helping out at the station. Is 728 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 1: one of the dads of the players comes up and 729 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 1: it's like, hey, do I know you? And I was like, 730 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,239 Speaker 1: I don't know. I coached in fourth grade. You know 731 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,360 Speaker 1: we were pretty good. I'm not kidding. I said that. 732 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,400 Speaker 1: He's like, no, no, no. From somewhere else, I was like, 733 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know, and I go back to 734 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,319 Speaker 1: what I'm doing. He's like you on TV, I know you. 735 00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, I do that sometimes. 736 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 1: So then of course I talked to the guy. I'm like, oh, so, 737 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 1: who's your kid? And then he you know, points out 738 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 1: his kid, and his kid looked okay, and so he 739 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 1: was super friendly and like, oh, asking all these questions. 740 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 1: So when it came draft time, you know what, there's 741 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 1: a bunch of guys people don't know. I'm going to 742 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,880 Speaker 1: take the guy who stuck out and talk to me. 743 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,839 Speaker 1: It was friendly. You know, I know that guy. He's 744 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,760 Speaker 1: a sports fan, right, he's a sports fan. Obviously he's 745 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: gonna have his kids show up, you know, because his 746 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 1: the coaches so many moderately famous. Had to just throw 747 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 1: it in there. Um, but I just like saying stupid stuff. 748 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 1: But so so anyways, basketball season is approaching rapidly. I'm 749 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,240 Speaker 1: very excited. Um, your kid is your daughter in sports? 750 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 1: It are still too young. She actually just wrapped up 751 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 1: her soccer season. Okay, well position not kidding. At that age, 752 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 1: whoever you can kick the ball straight is going to 753 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: be Um. So January will be exciting. Unfortunately, I think 754 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 1: a lot of the game times are during NFL playoff games, 755 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna have to find an assistant and then 756 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 1: watch the games on my phone, you know, because the 757 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: podcast takes priority. Um, so, Rob, you are you in 758 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,800 Speaker 1: town for the holidays? I am. I will be local. 759 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 1: I'm going to like nine different houses, but I'll be 760 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 1: all within like a twenty minute drive of every direction. Nice, 761 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:13,759 Speaker 1: and I'll just wrap up with this. I don't know 762 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,359 Speaker 1: how into the World Cup you were. Oh, I loved it. 763 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,240 Speaker 1: That's good. I'm happy. I think the numbers were massive 764 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:24,319 Speaker 1: for Fox. You couldn't have asked for a better tournament. Um, 765 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 1: I'm a little sad. Now there's no more daytime sports 766 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,719 Speaker 1: happening until the weekends. There's no like, oh, there's a 767 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 1: soccer game on at eleven am Pacific. You know.

My dad 773 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 1: super into soccer, so we're texting constantly during the games. 774 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,400 Speaker 1: Before the games. After the games, it's like, man, what 775 00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,360 Speaker 1: are we What are we gonna talk about now?

Frankly, I 784 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,399 Speaker 1: don't know about you. I'm a little drained. I haven't 785 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,960 Speaker 1: taken it. I haven't taken it. Yeah, I don't think. 786 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I know that's the reserved for players, but like, 787 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,440 Speaker 1: I've got to be watching these games. Whether it's on 788 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,600 Speaker 1: my phone and my son's volleyball tournament, I've got to 789 00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 1: get to a TV. There hasn't been a Sunday where 790 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,520 Speaker 1: I haven't watched at all. I'm driving my daughter to gymnastics, 791 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,200 Speaker 1: I have the Red Zone on my phone listening, not 792 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 1: looking um and it's just at some point, you know, 793 00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:43,880 Speaker 1: if I'm if I was like top twenty in the 794 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 1: gambling contest for like three million dollars would be different. 795 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 1: But I'm just like kind of worn down, you know, 796 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 1: especially because you know which teams are good and who's not, 797 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,279 Speaker 1: and so there's a lot of games that you have 798 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 1: to pay it. You have to pay attention because it's 799 00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,239 Speaker 1: the NFL. But you're like, you would think that Rob 800 00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,919 Speaker 1: really care about Giants commanding. Yeah, I couldn't get into 801 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 1: on to night football. I don't know about you. What 802 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,080 Speaker 1: were you into it last night? Not really? I mean 803 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,319 Speaker 1: I liked it because I had to, but I wasn't like, oh, 804 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 1: this is great, I'm so excited bad football. I mean, 805 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,320 Speaker 1: you know, Washington is a team that I like rooting 806 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,840 Speaker 1: for Taylor Heineke, and they just made a ton of 807 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 1: mistakes and the Giants didn't turn the ball over right, 808 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,200 Speaker 1: I meantasy, But other than that, it wasn't oh yeah, 809 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 1: how are you in fantasy? By the way, I am 810 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:25,719 Speaker 1: in the semis in both of my big leagues. So 811 00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 1: I'm very exciting. Is that from all? Uh? You know, 812 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 1: because you're plugged in and doing a pretty much because 813 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,759 Speaker 1: because we have Matthew Berry on the pod, you know, 814 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 1: friend of the show, so I got some inside intel. 815 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:40,120 Speaker 1: It really matters the waiver wires everything. Oh yeah, people 816 00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 1: don't realize that. And it's like, you know, if you 817 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:44,920 Speaker 1: can crush the waiver wire, you should be able to win. 818 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:49,399 Speaker 1: But like Washington had a hundred more yards average six 819 00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:54,279 Speaker 1: point seven yards per play, but had two fumbles. I 820 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 1: think both were in the red zone. One definitely was, 821 00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,960 Speaker 1: and then the Giants had a flukey touchdown. They got 822 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,239 Speaker 1: to the Giants guy to the red zone. Once they 823 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:05,400 Speaker 1: had the Cavon thibodeaus strip sack, they had no business winning. 824 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:09,399 Speaker 1: Huh was awesome. He's very very good. I'm just looking 825 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,360 Speaker 1: at it, looking at the box score. What do you 826 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 1: have only one sack but three tackles for loss, forced fumble, touchdown, Like, yeah, 827 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,839 Speaker 1: he's a beast. That draft at the top. Last year's 828 00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:24,760 Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner um Aidan Hutchinson's playing very good. Trayvon Walker 829 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,400 Speaker 1: up and down. I think he did. He was inactive 830 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,680 Speaker 1: on Sunday. But uh, last year's draft, for you could. 831 00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,239 Speaker 1: I'm excited to do draft stuff for next year, you know, 832 00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 1: because Jets probably uncle into the playoffs. All right, that's 833 00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,399 Speaker 1: it for today. No best bet because I don't care 834 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,359 Speaker 1: about rams packers. You know, Monday might be Charlie Brown. 835 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,000 Speaker 1: Christmas in the in the McIntyre family household. All right, 836 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 1: take it easy with talk to you tomorrow.
