1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: The volume. This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What

2
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: is up? Straight firefam hits me Jason McIntyre Straight Fire

3
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: for Thursday at January eighteenth, and folks, we got some

4
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: news this morning. It isn't the news your boy was expecting.

5
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: I was one of many who after the Cowboys got embarrassed,

6
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: downright humiliated by the Green Bay Packers in Jerry World

7
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: on Sunday, it felt like McCarthy was a dead man walking.

8
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: I mean, McCarthy's postseason struggles are well chronicled in Dallas

9
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: twelve and five in twenty twenty one, loses to the

10
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: Niners at home in the wildcard game. That was the

11
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: game where Dak Prescott tried to scramble into the red zone,

12
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: ran out of time. Total disaster. That game was on

13
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: McCarthy and the offensive coordinator. Essentially. At the time, a

14
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: lot of people wanted to blame Killen Moore because they

15
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: simply just were undisciplined and clock management to issues that

16
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: have plagued McCarthy dating back to those Green Bay days.

17
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: Then in twenty twenty two, they were twelve and five

18
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: again and they lost to the Niners in the NFC

19
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: Divisional Game. That was when Brock Purdy beat Dak Prescott

20
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: in San fran competitive game. And then in twenty twenty three.

21
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: This past weekend, the Cowboys, as seven to seven and

22
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: a half point favorites, get their doors blown off by

23
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: the Packers and Jordan Love, a first time playoff quarterback

24
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:52,559
Speaker 1: at home in Jerry World, and somehow, somehow McCarthy has survived.

25
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones has decided I'm keeping Mike McCarthy even though

26
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: my franchise was the laughing stock of the league because

27
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: we became the first team to win twelve games in

28
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: three straight seasons and not make the conference championship in

29
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: any of them. It's humiliating, it's embarrassing. But this is

30
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: what has plagued McCarthy postseason issues. Remember he had some

31
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: stacked Packers teams. People forget the year after they won

32
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, they were fifteen to one, they had

33
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: a buy and then they were facing Eli Manning and

34
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: the New York Giants and they end up losing at

35
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: home to Eli and the Giants in a memorably bad loss.

36
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: There's been plenty of them. McCarthy. His record in the

37
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: postseason with the Packers ten and eight and that's with

38
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers at the Helm, one of the great quarterbacks

39
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: in the history of the league. Now, listen, it's tough

40
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: to win in the playoffs. Jay Peyton Manning struggled to

41
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: win in the playoffs. John Elways struggled to win in

42
00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Dan Marino, I think had I could probably

43
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: look that up real quick. I think Dan Marino had

44
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: a losing record in the playoffs. But it's like postseason

45
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: is difficult. The issue is when you're constantly favored and

46
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: you're losing out right as a favorite, like folks, that's

47
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: not good. Yeah, Marino eight and ten in the postseason.

48
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: It's hard to win in the playoffs. Like Dan Marino

49
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: has some good stats, he had no defenses at all.

50
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: And Dak Prescott he has two playoff wins, and obviously

51
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: all the Cam Newton fan boys are coming after be fine.

52
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: If you missed the podcast Monday, that loss was on

53
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn and it doesn't sound like there's any assurances

54
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: about the coaching staff. But I cannot imagine Quinn coming back.

55
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: I thought the lost was on Quinn McCarthy. And then

56
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: you know, Dak did not play great. The counting stats

57
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: were padded at the end with a late, late game performance.

58
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: But my guess as to my primary guess as to

59
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: why Jerry Jones ended up letting McCarthy go is simple.

60
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: In the aftermath of that game, he kicked the tires

61
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: on Harball and he kicked the tires on Belichick, And

62
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: if he had gotten an answer he wanted, one of

63
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: those two guys would be coaching the team. My guest,

64
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: Belichick said no, thank you, I don't want to deal

65
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: with the headache. And Jim Harball is the one that

66
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: surprises me, which means he's probably headed back to the

67
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: Best Coast and going to the LA Chargers. Now, Harbaugh

68
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: did the interview with the Falcons, as did Belichick, but

69
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: that's the only logical move, right, Like the logical explanation.

70
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones ticked off at the loss. Damn it, Jim,

71
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: how do we blow that McCarthy another playoff loss. Let

72
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: me call up Harball, let me call up Belichick, let

73
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: me see if they would be interested. And if you're

74
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones at this stage, you probably don't go through

75
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: back channels because that's when stuff get leaks to the media.

76
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: My guess this is how this will play out. This

77
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: is my guess. McCarthy and the Cowboys will have a

78
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: fine season, ten to eleven wins, whatever, they'll get to

79
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs, they'll lose, then McCarthy will be let go.

80
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: At the that point a year from now, we will

81
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: hear well. Last year, after McCarthy suffered the loss to

82
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: the Packers, Jerry Jones reached out through back channels to

83
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh and Bill Belichick to gage interests. I can

84
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: almost write the story now, hardcore listeners to the podcast.

85
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: I'm assuming this podcast will be around in twenty twenty five.

86
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: I'm assuming the podcast medium will still be around in

87
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. I'm assuming America will be still standing

88
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: still in twenty twenty five. My guess is they let

89
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: us play out with McCarthy, they lose, and then it's

90
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: revealed because you know, no reporters gonna reveal this now,

91
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones will blacklist you and cut you off. And

92
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: you know, Jerry Jones has kind of some cloud around

93
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: the league, so I don't see that happening. But yeah,

94
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear that Jerry listen. You know how,

95
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: when you're drafting high, like in the top five, It's like, listen,

96
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: you might not be back there again. You should. You

97
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: should go for the quarterback. You should because you know,

98
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: you get middling and you're you know, eight and nine,

99
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: seven and ten, nine and eight and missing the playoffs

100
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: and treading water, you're not gonna be able to get

101
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: that superstar quarterback. Yeah, I know. Pat Mahomes went tenth

102
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen went seventh. I get it. Okay, Fine,

103
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: it's possible. Lamar Jackson went thirty second. Jay, don't say that. Listen.

104
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: Things can of course, anything can happen. The odds are

105
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: not in your favor of finding a quarterback the later

106
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: you go in the draft, especially the first round. So

107
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: it's at the stage really where I think the Cowboys

108
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: screwed up. I really think Jerry Jones messed up. Just

109
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: as when you've got a chance to draft a quarterback high,

110
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: when you've got great coaches on the market, like Harball,

111
00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: like Belichick, like Mike Vrabel, you gotta go for it.

112
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: If let's say McCarthy's run off next year, we don't

113
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: know what the coaching pool is gonna look like. Do

114
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: we have any idea who's gonna be out there? Maybe

115
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin. Maybe after his year he says he's going

116
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: back to Pittsburgh. Maybe Tomlin is eligible and decides I'm

117
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: gonna move on from Pittsburgh and he goes to Dallas.

118
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: That I guess that's possible. And it's tough a year

119
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: out to say, like who's gonna be on the market?

120
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: You know, do any of these college guys want to

121
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: try the end of what Ryan Day? I think Ohio

122
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: State is gonna win the title next year. I did

123
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: bet them their futures. I think they're gonna win the title.

124
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: So let's say Ryan Day wins the title, decides I'm

125
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: out of here and he wants to go pro. Does

126
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: Jerry take a chance on Ryan Day? I don't know.

127
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: But all I'm saying is, you know, you go back

128
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: through the years, I don't think we've ever had three

129
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: really really good candidates like we've got, excuse me there,

130
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: like we've got right now with Rabel, Harbor and Belichick.

131
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: So my read is Jerry Jones screwed. Now what does

132
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: this do? What are the second and third order effects

133
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: of McCarthy staying in Dallas. Well, some might argue that

134
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: this wasn't a good job anyway, because Jerry Jones, who

135
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: wants to deal with that knucklehead, you know, who wants

136
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: to deal with the weekly press conferences calling the media

137
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: being front and center after playoff games, Like that's just

138
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: not natural ownership behavior. But I guess you could say

139
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: it's starting to sound like Sirianni may survive. It is

140
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: very strange that we're getting, I don't know, literally our

141
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: update every few hours on Nick Sirianni's situation in Philadelphia. Well,

142
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni's meeting with the owner. Nick Sirianni's owner is

143
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: basically telling him you need a new defensive coordinator. And

144
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: if Nick Sirianni's plan isn't up to snuff, well we'll

145
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 1: see what happens with Nick Sirianni. Like that's all being reported,

146
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: that's all out there. I mean that that can't be

147
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: coming from Nick Sirianni. Why would the GM and the

148
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: owner be doing that. Well, did you hear some of

149
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: the Eagles player comments in the day or two after

150
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: the loss to Tampa? A lot of what are you

151
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: talking about? How could you get rid of sirian He's

152
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: been in the playoffs three The players seem to like him,

153
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: So how do you put him in a bad light. Well,

154
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: you know, the defense fell apart. We wanted to hear

155
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: what his plan was to turn it back around. It's

156
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: out there that they were willing to hear him out,

157
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: and you know what his plan wasn't really up to stuff. Also,

158
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: the other thing that could be happening is behind the scenes.

159
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: You know, you have to assume Eagles are reaching out

160
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: to Harbaugh, Eagles are reaching out to Rabel, and do

161
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: the Eagles reach out to Belichick? I mean, those are

162
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: the top three names. After that, it's you know, I

163
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: don't think there's a there's a big market for dan Quinn.

164
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: I saw. I mean, there's so many, so many people

165
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: are interviewing now A seems silly, but it just seems

166
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: very odd that we're getting such detailed reports on the

167
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 1: Eagles and the Sirianni thing. The pressure's really on him

168
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: to come up with good names because listen, man, last year,

169
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: the dude loses both his coordinators and the offense regresses

170
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: in the defense was a hella bad. So all of

171
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's like, oh, yeah, maybe we could run

172
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: this guy out. You bring in Vrabel and get back

173
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: a tough culture in there. I kind of like that.

174
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,599
Speaker 1: My gut tells me I don't think Harball would go

175
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: to Philly. And then a lot of reporters seem to

176
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: have Belichick ticketed for Atlanta. I'm not taking that bait. Belichick,

177
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: in my opinion, is just using Atlanta as leverage to

178
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: see what he can really get. We know he ain't

179
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: going to the Titans. I can't imagine him going to

180
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: Carolina unless unless he's really trying to leverage a huge

181
00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: payday from a desperate owner who must get back the

182
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: good races of everybody the league, his players, his fans.

183
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: You could do that with Belichick. I mean, would Belichick

184
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: want to go work for that guy? Probably not, But

185
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: he's seventy two. Belichick probably thinks he can walk on

186
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: water at the stage. He just can't find a quarterback, right,

187
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: Easier to walk on water than find a quarterback if

188
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: you're Belichick. I just for me, it's a tough fit

189
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons. Unless he saw Brady, he said, damn

190
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: Brady left, went to freaking Tampa. Who goes to Tampa

191
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: and he won a super Bowl? Because the division is

192
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: a freaking joke. Oh my gosh, if I go to Atlanta.

193
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: I'm coaching against Bryce Young, the Dennis Allen, Derek Carr Combo,

194
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: and then Todd bowleson Baker Mayfield, who nobody's scared of. Shucks,

195
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: you go get me a quarterback, I mean half big quarterback,

196
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: and I'll win twelve games. He's only got fifteen to

197
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: go to pass Shula, So I mean, I guess on

198
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 1: that front, it makes sense. I just it's it's tough

199
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: for me to visualize, Like, close your eyes for a second.

200
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: Think of hoodie Bill Belichick, gruff, crappy weather. He comes

201
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: out with his hoodie, it's got holes in it. You know,

202
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: it's tough for me to envision him in Atlanta with

203
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: the with the red and black dirty bird colors, and

204
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: it's just weird. Atlanta's like a flashy, fun, cool, young

205
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: hip town. Right. The Atlanta Hawks have Trey Young. He's spicy.

206
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: I know they stink. They won a nice game with

207
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: the buzzer last night with DeAndre just sorry Dejean toa

208
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: Murray hitting one. But like they call that place the

209
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: highlight Factory. Dominique Wilkins was a legend in Atlanta. Even

210
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: you look at the Falcons, the dirty Bird Jamal Anderson

211
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: and the dancing Dion Sanders like Atlanta's a flashy, fun,

212
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: cool city. Belichick his ethosays, I'm grimy, I'm kind of surly,

213
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: and I'm like a drill sergeant, you know. I just

214
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: to me, it doesn't totally fit, but we shall see.

215
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: With the coaching situation, the carousel continues to whirl around.

216
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and say, Harbaugh to Chargers. It's

217
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: sounding more and more like I don't know that there's

218
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: a deal in place, but Ben Johnson and Washington, that's

219
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: the chatter out there. Adam Peters. The new GM comes

220
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: from San fran and it seems like, you know, Ben

221
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: Johnson's probably headed there. Although yeah, just you know, you

222
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: got your one crack at court at head coaching, and

223
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: you go no quarterback, Maybe go give him a long leash.

224
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: And they do have a high pick, so he could

225
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,319

249
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: these games. Let me quickly go through the lines as

250
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: we record right now and see if anything's changed. So

251
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: Houston was taking money, it went down from ten to nine.

252
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: And then right Angle Sports, you know Adam Chernoff who

253
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: comes on this pod, they released Baltimore at minus nine,

254
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: so it went back up to nine and a half.

255
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: I think it's Ravens. I don't know, guys, I can understand.

256
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: I know the numbers on Lamar one and eight against

257
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: the spread. When he's favored by more than a touchdown,

258
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: he's got some playoff failures, no different than Dak. Just

259
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: remember the NFL is a week to week league. That

260
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:53,119
Speaker 1: does not change in the playoffs. Okay, step back remove.

261
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, remember when Dak when he lost to him,

262
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: was it Tennessee is the number one seed? Oh gosh, Lamar?

263
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: But remember when he lost to the Chargers too, it

264
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: was like his ninth career NFL gamer, like a seventh

265
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: or whatever it was. And then that game to the Bills. Yeah,

266
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: I know I had money on the Ravens at time.

267
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: I get it. What by week CJ. Stroud's cooking, I

268
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: don't know. I did tease Baltimore and San Fran down

269
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: both of them are nine and a half, teas them

270
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: to two and a half, both to win by under

271
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: a field goal. I think that's a safetyaser, right, Who's

272
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: who's blowing that? I mean, Baltimore's kicker is incredible. I

273
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: love the special teams for the Ravens. Houston's actually got

274
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: really good special teams, but I think the Ravens is

275
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: I'd be stunned if the Ravens lost San Fran Green Bay,

276
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: which was ten now it's nine and a half. Looks

277
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: like it's maybe headed back to ten as the limits

278
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: get increased here on Thursday Sunday Sundays the interesting one.

279
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: The Lions were six and then it went up to

280
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: six and a half. I don't totally know what folks

281
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: are seeing here. This is the one game that kind

282
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: of has me a little twisted, so I don't That's

283
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: the one game I don't have any money on yet.

284
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: And of course you know I'm on the Chiefs. I

285
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: took a Juice three, I took the two and a half,

286
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: and I went money line, so I'm pot committed on

287
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and I know Kansas City fans think I

288
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: don't like them, because I did say on the Herd,

289
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: I think in case Buffalo, for you know, if there's

290
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 1: one team that could get blasted here, I can see

291
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs getting run out of Building thirty

292
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: or thirteen and Buffalo's front running and Josh Allen's cooking

293
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: and the stadium's rocking and it's payback time seven or whatever.

294
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: I can see that scenario, but I just don't. I

295
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: don't believe that will happen. I can see it happening

296
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: for sure. I can't see the Chiefs blowing out the Bills.

297
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: They don't blow out anybody. And don't tell me about

298
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: the Miami game. Come on, it was wacky stuff at

299
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: negative thirty degrees. So Chiefs fans are all down. I mean, guys,

300
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 1: I'm loaded up on Casey. I don't love it. It

301
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: kind of feels like the Eagles for Monday Night. I

302
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't see it. So anyways, those are

303
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,479
Speaker 1: the games we'll wrap up here real quick. With the

304
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: NBA trade that went down, I don't know. It's weird

305
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 1: because so much NFL coaching rumors were swirling that I

306
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: don't even know if a lot of people saw this.

307
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: But the Toronto Raptors. Remember when they won that quote

308
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 1: unquote title in twenty nineteen, Yeah, the air quote. Sorry,

309
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: Raptors fans, The last remnants of that championship winning team

310
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: is now go on. Pascal Siakam has been traded. He

311
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: has been shipped to Oh my gosh with Indiana. Pascal

312
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: Siakam going to Indiana where he'll join Tyrese Haliburton in

313
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: exchange for three first round picks Bruce Brown, pooh poop

314
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: platter of picks that none of them will be top

315
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: five next year and a lot of them are protected.

316
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 1: So like it says three first round picks, Hey, we

317
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 1: got three ones for Siakam. You drill down a little bit.

318
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: It's like they get a pick that's between five and

319
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: thirty from Houston, between eleven and thirty from la okc Utah. Like,

320
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: nothing high. The only way it's super high is if

321
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: like Halliburton's done for the season and the Pacers go

322
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: totally in the tank and then that pick is like

323
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: the number three pick or something. Doesn't look like that's

324
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: gonna be the case. It certainly isn't. As of now.

325
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: We'll get to Siakam in a second. I just want

326
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: to put a bow on that Raptor's title again. In

327
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: quotes title in twenty nineteen, that team had Kawhi Leonard,

328
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: Kyle Lowry, Siakam was twenty four years old. They had

329
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: Fred Van Vliet, Danny Green, and og Nnobi who is

330
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: twenty one at the time. They've now all those guys

331
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: are gone everybody, and I maintain that twenty nineteen NBA

332
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: title is the weakest title in the modern era only

333
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: because of one reason. Kevin Durant tried to come back,

334
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 1: played I believe eleven minutes in the entire series, ruptured

335
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: his achilles. Clay Thompson ends up getting hurt in Game six.

336
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 1: If Clay doesn't get hurt, there's a chance to Worries

337
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: win that in seven, and then maybe Kevin Durant staates,

338
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: or maybe Durant was done and there was no way

339
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: he was coming back. But the Raptors got to win

340
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: fine fair. Fred Vinvliet was incredible. That will live forever.

341
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure like in ten years they'll do a reunion

342
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: for the nine twenty twenty nine, they'll do the reunion

343
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: for the Raptors ten years ago. Then they'll do one

344
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: twenty because They're not winning another title anytime soon. No

345
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: disrespect like they had anonob and Siakam is building blocks.

346
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: Now they've got Scottie Barnes, RJ. Barrett and I maybe

347
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 1: quickly if he materializes. But it looked like a big

348
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: deal on the surface. Siakam an All NBA player, never

349
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: first team but second team, thirdeen. He can get buckets.

350
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 1: Here's the weird thing. So he is due for a

351
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: big contract. There's no way the Pacers were making this

352
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: trade unless they had an assurance that Siakam was gonna

353
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: sign there. And apparently, in reading some reports, he and

354
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: his agent have made it clear he wants as much

355
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: money as he's a Are you ready for this? Let

356
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: me just whip out the calculator according to what he's

357
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: what he can get he is eligible Pascal Siakam, Oh

358
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: my gosh, five years, two hundred and sixty million dollars.

359
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: I had to break out the calculator because it's early

360
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: in the morning and I can't do that kind of math.

361
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 1: Fifty two million a year for Pascal Siakam as your

362
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: second best player, that's a tough one to stomach. Caliburn's

363
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: gonna get all the money, fine, and those are your

364
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: two building bucks. You're gonna win a lot of games.

365
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: You're probably gonna be in the forty four to fifty

366
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: one win range every year. You have those two, and

367
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: then the question is do you have enough to a

368
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: get a third star or b can someone emerge as

369
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: a third star? Ben Matherin, the young kid Arizona, who

370
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: I loved coming out. He was very good as a rookie.

371
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: He started out okay, I guess sophomore slump or whatever

372
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: that he's coming off the bench. Obi Toppin is fine.

373
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,479
Speaker 1: But like taking those two, I mean, you know, they

374
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: still got Buddy Heel, Miles Turner, you know they got

375
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: some players. But short of injuries to other teams or

376
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: like a massive major upset, it's tough to envision Indiana

377
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: leaping into that top three in the East. It's pretty

378
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: clear it's Boston. I think they're still far and away

379
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: number one. A lot of people will make the case

380
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: that the Sixers should be right there, and the Sixers

381
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 1: are the Sixers would be my number three, But I

382
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: think it's Boston, Milwaukee and the Sixers as like the

383
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: pretty clear top three in the East. After that, you've

384
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: got like the middle class, which features you know, the

385
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: Calves who have had some injuries, but they're pretty good.

386
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: They're hot right now, six wins in a row. You've

387
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: got the Knicks, my Knicks, though, of course I love them,

388
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: they're starting to show signs of life. You've got the

389
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 1: heat or perennial playoff sleepers, and then the Pacers are

390
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 1: trying to get into that group. The next group is

391
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: like Orlando, which started hot and it's started to peter out.

392
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: My Atlanta Hawks, the Bowls, you know, the Brooklyn Nets,

393
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: they're like the lower middle class. But ken Indiana, if

394
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: they were to say, face a Bucks in the playoffs,

395
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: we did see them. They've had a little bit of

396
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: a rivalry here with the Bucks this season, some beef

397
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: between the teams. Like I don't think it's a great matchup.

398
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 1: They don't have the postseason experience, But I don't know.

399
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: I don't think they'd have a chance against Boston. But

400
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: the way they shoot threes in their offense with Helliburton,

401
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: if Siakam can go, this seemed could potentially be dangerous.

402
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: So I I DoD of like the trade for them.

403
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 1: Toronto basically is starting over, or to quote my Fox

404
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: Sports radio rant from a few years back back to

405
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: the basement where you belong. It was a little harsh.

406
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: I've been banished from Toronto by a lot of their fans.

407
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: I had to block a billion people on social media

408
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: after it because I ripped their title and I was like,

409
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: I can't wait for this franchise to just go back

410
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: to the basement where they belong. And it was a

411
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: little harsh. Yeah, I get it. I actually like Scotty Barnes.

412
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: I'm a big RJ. Barrett fan, so I'm you know,

413
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: I have no issues with Toronto. They just they're not

414
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: going to really be relevant here for a minute. Scotty

415
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: Barnes is really talented, maybe could do some things, but

416
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: I think the Raptors are still several players away from

417
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 1: even getting into the middle class in the Eastern Conference.

418
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: All right, Hey, by the way, shout out to my Lakers.

419
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: How about that dub over my guy Luka Doncic. Kyrie

420
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: Irving struggled mightily wonder what was on his mind. Playing

421
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: in La Luca thirty three, thirteen and ten didn't matter.

422
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: Lake just two big inside. Anthony Davis really is playing

423
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: like an All NBA superstar. He is just out of

424
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: his mind right now, not taking threes, taking people down

425
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: to the poundtown on the block. And when you can

426
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: get Danzel or Russell going for twenty nine on five threes,

427
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna win a bunch of games. So

428
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: shout out to the Lakers who got back to five

429
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: hundred with a win over the MAVs. By the way,

430
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: I can't wait for the MAVs to lose a couple

431
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: of games and then put some money on them to

432
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 1: win the title. I known everybody's got Oh it's Denver.

433
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: It's never it might be Denver. It's tough to go

434
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: back to back, guys, it really is difficult, you know,

435
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: worn down. Those postseason games are long and draining. Just

436
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 1: keep an eye on the Dallas Mavericks. All right, that's

437
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: it for today. Reminder I am hosting The Herd on Friday.

438
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: Tap in, folks. Talk to you then,
