Well, I had this 9 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 1: adult pajama party to go to, which I didn't even 10 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: know was a thing that human beings did over the agent, 11 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: Not really, but yeah, well I was kind of tag 12 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: along guest at this party and then uh, Dan and 13 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 1: I ended up at the Cozy late late at night. 14 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: We got cozy at the Cozy. My only interact. That's 15 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: a that's a bar right up the street from the 16 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 1: NFL media operations. I I stayed home with the family, 17 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: but I did attempt to interact with you through UM, 18 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: a device where you can play jukebox songs off your phone, 19 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: and I put about fifteen No no money spent anywhere else, 20 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 1: So I put about fifteen dollars into this app and dropped. 21 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: It's raining men roughly fifteen times into the cozy jukebox. 22 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: But I here it didn't get as I thought it would. 23 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,839 Speaker 1: Things are a little hazy. I pulled off a rare 24 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: move where I stayed home with the family till midnight, 25 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: and then the wife turned in, and then I head 26 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: into the cozy and it was still I had not 27 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: heard it, no one had heard it all night. And 28 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 1: then right around I would say one thirty West. Yeah, 29 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: it was about right when I was about to get 30 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: an uber and call it a night. I hear it's 31 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: raining men on the jukebox and raining men in pajamas. Apparently, 32 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: I can't believe you invested that much money in a bit. 33 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: Well think I'm thinking, had I gone to the cozy, 34 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: it would have cost me probably fifty sixty bucks or something. 35 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: So money spelling many well, money well spent podcast some 36 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: pretty elaborate bits that doesn't surprise me.

Happy New Year to Mr f as well 52 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: and uh let's start today's show on the throne of Ease. 53 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: Brady from the gun short drop, quick throw caught from 54 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: the first down by Edelman and more to the forty 55 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: midfield inside the forty at the Miami thirty no one 56 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: will catch Julian Edelman all the way to the house 57 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: for a New England touchdown blood Forest trauma. Kevin Lee 58 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: Westwood won sports with the call. The New England Patriots 59 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: capped another outrageously successful regular season with a thirty wipe 60 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: out of the Dolphins. The wind locked up the a 61 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: f c's number one seed for the Pats and locked 62 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins into the sixth seed. Um Chris Westling 63 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: Tom Brady three more touchdown passes finishes the season twenty 64 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: eight touchdowns two picks, the best ratio in NFL history 65 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: with a minimum event of three attempts. Winter is coming 66 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: for this man. Yeah, just not yet and like six years. 67 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: You know what, he's a real hero though, Just for 68 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: removing Nick Foles from the NFL record book that we 69 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: can all get behind. That that's strange. And two, that 70 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: was a blight. Not the only person attached to that 71 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: record that is likely to be removed, But nice tease, bro. 72 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: This was a game heavy on Julian Edelman and Michael Floyd, 73 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: who carried a few Dolphins defenders into the end zone, 74 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 1: had a nice toe dragging catch on the sideline, and 75 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: then sprung Edelman for that seventy seven yard touchdown that 76 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,679 Speaker 1: you just heard, with a vicious block on Tony Lippett. 77 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: Michael Floyd looking like a big pickup. Brady likes him 78 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: coming off this story because of that big body. He's 79 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: some He's someone the Patriots haven't really had with that 80 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 1: big body and speed down the down the sideline. I 81 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: hear what you're saying. Dan, but it is something that 82 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: the Patriots do better than any other team, and to 83 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: the level that no other team we've ever seen does. 84 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: They bring guys in that don't work in other organizations, 85 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: and two weeks later he's starring and you're right up, 86 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: he's a center stage. Yeah, he's a useful player. A 87 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: lot of teams stayed away from him because he got 88 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: like a historic d u I and most teams don't 89 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: associate themselves with that type of situation. The Pats don't care. 90 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: And that's just not even true what most teams have 91 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: had d u I guys on their ross. No, I 92 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: said historic. Did you see the video? Historic? What's I mean? 93 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: What's the video mean? What do you mean? What's the 94 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: video mean? Just because there's a video out, it's a 95 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: much much worse offense. I am saying that it was 96 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: a very bad UH situation and it's or he's a 97 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: repeat offender in the d u I category and the 98 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,679 Speaker 1: Patriots and the only team to make a claim some teams, 99 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: and some teams wouldn't want it, and this individual circumstance, 100 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 1: the Patriots were the only team. That's hardly true throughout 101 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: history or even in the last few years. I'm only 102 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: speaking about this particular Well, I think that's just wrong 103 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: to single out the Patriots and say they run their 104 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: operation like in some kind of underhanded manner, just because 105 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: I was actually taking their time. I was actually pointing 106 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: out that they're good at that, not that it was 107 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: underhanded that they I was pointing out it was underham 108 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, they bring in what other teams 109 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: can't make work, and they make it work or they 110 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: find out right away that that and if they don't 111 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: work in New England typically don't really work anywhere else. 112 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: So I mean fourteen and two, and not to get 113 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: that caught on that point. So a tremendous uh season 114 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: fourteen and two. They go, they're undefeated on the road 115 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, on the other side of it, 116 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: uh West, the Dolphins had something to play for in 117 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: this game. They could have moved up and once again, 118 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: this makes you wonder how much longer, uh we're gonna 119 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: see the Dolphins when you see an effort like this 120 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: at home. Yeah, I just think they were outclassed by 121 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 1: a team that's much better than them, and I think 122 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: we'll probably see something similar next week. The Dolphins beat 123 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: the Steelers early in the season when Big Ben was 124 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: trying to play through an injury and the Dolphins outplayed them. 125 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: J A. G I hit a big game. This is 126 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 1: a totally different Steelers team right now though, especially on defense, 127 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: where they're much better and they haven't lost since Sean Davis, 128 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: the rookie strong safety, entered the starting lineup. But I 129 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: just think the Dolphins with Matt Moore at quarterback, cannot 130 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: hang with superior offenses. I would say that the Dolphins 131 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: up until today, we're all we're sort of overachieving with 132 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: that with Matt Moore at center but right under center. 133 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: But it's because they were playing some really ragged defenses 134 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: and then you run into the number one scoring defense, 135 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: and you're right, it's a dose of reality. How are 136 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: you going to go into Pittsburgh and handle that. There 137 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: are a number of playoff teams you gotta wonder if 138 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: they're already on life support. And their defense is an 139 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: issue too. I believe they've given us the most yards 140 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: in Dolphins history this year. These teams get out of 141 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,239 Speaker 1: this game healthy as far as I know, they did. Okay, 142 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: Uh so that's what's going on. Uh With the Pats, 143 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: they have the number one seed, who has the number 144 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: two seed in the a f C. We know that, 145 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: and before we get into it, let's welcome on the line. Uh. 146 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: He is, uh, you know, a beloved member of the team. Uh. 147 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: Now traveling across the world, Greg Rose withthal. You know, 148 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: it's so great to be around an NFL network star. Greg, 149 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: are you there? What is happening?

How are you, buddy?

Yeah, Cletis, 154 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: the cup is once again sitting in on the show. Uh, 155 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: don't don't worry about it. It's just you know he's here. 156 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that you don't have a chair to 157 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: come back to. Uh. Well that's good. You know, you 158 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: take off for for a funeral of a family friend 159 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: and suddenly you're getting boxed out. The cold business around here, 160 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: as I learned today in San Diego. Yeah, Cletis don't care. Yes, 161 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: a cold, cold business it can be. And that's because 162 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: we learned that Mike McCoy out in San Diego. What 163 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: are you hearing? Greg? Well? What a what a what 164 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: a brutal business? Um? This is you know they were 165 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: at the end of the game. They're playing um you know, 166 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: stand by Me, and they're playing you know the song 167 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: they play a graduation and everyone's cheering. The Argers have 168 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: to go off the field for the one last time 169 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: and then McCoy gets to the tunnel and the crowd 170 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: just booze him mercilessly. Man. He goes to the locker room, 171 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: he does a press conference, he he makes his case 172 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: to the media why he should be back next year, 173 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 1: and basically the second he gets off the podium, he 174 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: gets fired. H Man. He finished with the twenty seven 175 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: and thirty seven record in the regular season over four seasons, 176 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: one and one in the postseason. But those two playoff 177 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: games came all the way back in two thousand thirteen. 178 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: Uh he Mark, you would say that this was not 179 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: something that he didn't earn. I mean, this is the 180 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: Chargers of under Um. They haven't played well. I do 181 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 1: feel from Mike McCoy though, because they were hit with 182 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: and this They're not the only team this is true 183 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: of an incredible laundry list of injuries, and you know, 184 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: I think the Cleveland game probably cemented this if it 185 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 1: wasn't cemented long before. But if they're also going to 186 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: move to Los Angeles, it's probably only going to amp 187 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: up the chance of a clean break with a co 188 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: that I think has nine regular season wins over the 189 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: last two years. I thought he deserves credit for keeping 190 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: that team competitive on a weekend, week out basis with 191 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: that spade of injuries the last two years, ultimately done 192 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: in by fourth quarter failures, which you know often were 193 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: his own doing. What else is what was the vibe there? Greg? 194 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: They potentially in quite possibly the last game in San Diego. 195 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: It was weird. You know, I talked to a lot 196 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: of the fans beforehand, and you know, some of a 197 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: lot of them, you know, the ones that were left here, 198 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: it's like they get a bad rap because you know, 199 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: a chunk of the stadium was empty, but it was 200 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: a loud crowd. But the ones that were here, it 201 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: was like they're the last of the die hard. They 202 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: were talking about how most of their family members have 203 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: given up on the team and they make fun of 204 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: them for still going, and it's like they used to 205 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: have a group of twenty five people who would go 206 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: every every year, every single game, and now it's down 207 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: to like six, So it's the last of the die hards, 208 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: and it's a it was a strange vibe because they 209 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: went through it all last year. Like last year, I 210 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: think they were bad and they were embracing the team, 211 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: and this year they're just annoyed and you know, pissed 212 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: that Dean spanous essentially, and everyone was basically saying if 213 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: they lead, like, forget them. They're not They're not going 214 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: to be rooting on the l A Chargers there the 215 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 1: last Vegas charges. That's I think that's something that they 216 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: they're sort of boldly slash brashley, you know, diving into 217 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 1: this move to l A thing, which I think people 218 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: in l A are very mixed on the idea of 219 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: that working. But um, one of the one of the 220 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: fans you spoke to, Sally Morgan, uh in quotes, we 221 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: supported this team and we didn't have much to support 222 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: most years, and now they might leave us. Question Mark, 223 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: that's unacceptable, Sally Morgan, Greg real person, real person. Yeah, 224 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: you know I was that questioning your journalists chops right 225 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: there in a big snow. I want to confer out 226 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: there talking. Yeah, he was one, she was one of 227 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: she it had season tickets. I think her her husband 228 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: had been coming to sixty two since he was seven 229 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: years old. That Balboa Stadium. I mean, they were they 230 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: were pretty heartbroken that that group especially was was just 231 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: kind of sad. And I think the thing is that's 232 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: crazy is I think this. I still think they could 233 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: be back next year. I don't think the NFL wants 234 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: them to leave. And but that's that's a story for 235 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: another podcast. Mark neatly potentially tying you into a plot 236 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: thread from the final season of The Wire There. I 237 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: liked it. Let's let's let's not turn our attention to 238 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: the game itself. First punt of the game is at 239 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 1: one sevent to go and the third quarter. Now Kill 240 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: takes it at the five. San Diego didn't think he 241 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 1: was gonna take it. Here he goes. He said, they 242 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: blocked up putter. The cheat is gone. They can't get 243 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: to him. Tyreek Hill stays on the right boundary T 244 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: five touched Chen City a ninety eight yard punt returned 245 00:12:53,240 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: for a touchdown, and now Tyreek Hill his twelfth rookie touchdown. Yes, 246 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: Mitch Holt is casey f X. Tyree Hill did it again. 247 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: Thirty seven win for the Chiefs over the Chargers. The 248 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 1: wind coupled with the Oakland Laws clinches uh the f 249 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: C West for the Chiefs and lock Kansas City into 250 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 1: that second seed in the first round. By that comes 251 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: with it. So, Greg, how about the Chiefs? What were 252 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: you seeing there? Well, they're they're kind of the same 253 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: team every week, which is amazing and in the in 254 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: the difference I think this year between last year is 255 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. I mean, like Eric Barry said, he's kind 256 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: of the X factor. He's the extra thing that kind 257 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: of puts them over the top. Um. Tom Ba Lee 258 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: was talking and I thought he made a good, good point. 259 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: They know they're not a dominant offense, they know they're 260 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: not a dominant defense. They've got special teams, but they 261 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: they they think that if all three of their groups 262 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: are playing well. It's a little bit of a cliche, 263 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: but as they have been, then there were really tough 264 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: team to be and that's that's how every week kind 265 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: of plays out for them. The yardages is similar between 266 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: the two teams in most of this game, but they 267 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: win the turnover battle, they get the big plays on 268 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: offense and and he said Chris Jones, who I know 269 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: Chris been talking about, Uh is the best three technique 270 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: he's ever seen. Hie praise it's pretty good. Greg. You 271 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: are mentioned on our client I am client during the 272 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: game that you are apologies, should not have mentioned the 273 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: name of the of the client you are. You were 274 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: sitting near some sort of um cheerleading commander slash coach. 275 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: I couldn't coordinator. I couldn't quite picture what what was 276 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: going on with you can you can you paint that 277 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: for us? Well? This this was really the better part 278 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: of the game for me. Apparently, cheerleading coaches have someone 279 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: up in the booth, like an offensive coordinator who's barking 280 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: down instructions through a headset to tell them all what 281 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: to do. And it was NonStop and you do not 282 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: want to cross this lady. She is. She is yelling 283 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: at people saying, you know, hands behind, they're back line up, 284 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: line up, no, no, no, like screaming and yelling at them, Uh, 285 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: they're messing up. You know. She's telling them what to do. 286 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: And this is this is for three hours straight and 287 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: the Chargers might be a mess. But the cheerleaders I 288 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: feel like are are in good hands. All right, Greg, 289 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: are you going to be on the show on Tuesday? 290 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: I will be back. Well, we anxiously await your turn 291 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: and make sure make sure you drive safely. And Happy 292 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: New Year, buddy, Happy New Year. Alright. One final thought 293 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: on the Chargers. That fan base doesn't really get the 294 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: credit they deserve, But that franchise has been in San 295 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: Diego longer than any team that has ever moved in 296 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: the NFL. They've been there for over fifty years. It's 297 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: kind of flown under the radar a little bit. What 298 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: kind of what kind of seismic uh shift? This would 299 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: be for that region? But the way Greg put it, 300 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: the people who's talking to they're ready for to happen. 301 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: If it's gonna happen, it sounds like it's reached that 302 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: point in terms. Well, it's almost like a like a 303 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: breakup where you break up, then you get back together 304 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: a little bit and then you realize, uh, yeah, it's 305 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: just not working. Uh. Speaking of the Oakland Raiders, let's 306 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: let's talk about them. Simmons. They set up the screen 307 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: booker on the left side. He has a bookers inside 308 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: thet's at the thirties five touchdown Denver forty three yards 309 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: on a screen pass and the gamble by Jack del 310 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: Rio backfires in a big way, sixteen nothing Denver. Dave 311 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: Logan ko a with the call. The Broncos UH won't 312 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: have a chance to defend their Super Bowl title in 313 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: the playoffs, but they at least go out a winner 314 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: win over the reeling Oakland Raiders, who played like a 315 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: team still mourning for their lost quarterback Mark Matt McLennan 316 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: got beat up in this game. UH exited with a 317 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: shoulder injuries non throwing shoulder. Um. But you have to 318 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: be worried about out them there all the way down 319 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: to the five seed now and they're on their third quarterback. 320 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: What's going on here? I think we were worried about 321 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: them already, and this just simply confirmed that doubly. I mean, 322 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: it's not easy to go into Denver and wyn I 323 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: don't care who you are, but the idea that we 324 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: could get either Matt mcgloyd again after the way he 325 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: looked today, or Connor Cook and that still sounds like 326 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: it's it's up in the air to some degree. UH. 327 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: Jack del Rio said he would want to go with 328 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: mcgloyan if he's if he's available, because of the the 329 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 1: Sheer experience, which makes sense. Connor Cooked looked like a 330 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: naive out there. It was not a good site. So yeah, 331 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: I think this is you know, they're going into Houston. 332 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: I can't you could not hand craft a better playoff 333 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 1: team to have to go face, no matter what situation 334 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: you're in. But I think we're looking at two teams 335 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: in Houston and Oakland that are going to take quick 336 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: exits unless Oakland specifically turns it around very quickly. I 337 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: think Houston must look at Oakland and say, what a sure, 338 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 1: what a great gift we've been given to face a 339 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: team with as many quarterback questions as we have. And 340 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: then you know, we've picked on the Texans all year, 341 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 1: but they play defense at home just about as well 342 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: as anyone in the league. And if you're going against 343 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: Matt mcgloy or Connor Cook with that defense at home, 344 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: I think the Texans might have to be favored in this. Right, 345 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 1: the only gift that no one will get the viewer 346 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: will not get again. Right, I was gonna say that, 347 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: I mean that we are kind of banged in a 348 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: big spot as as as the football fan here. But 349 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 1: that's just the way it is, and it's a it's 350 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: amazing and I feel terribly um for Raiders fans who 351 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 1: have been waiting so long to kind of get back 352 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: into relevance that how much things have changed. On Christmas Eve, 353 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: in the second half, they're they're whipping up an opponent 354 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: on Derek Carl looks better than ever. And then in 355 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: the blake and Ie he's gone. And then really reality 356 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: set in through this game, like, oh, Matt mcloyn is, 357 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: that's an uphill battle with him, and then he gets 358 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: I mean they are in deep trouble and you're right 359 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 1: west the Texans. I would, uh, you know, it's we're 360 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: not picking the games yet, but I feel like they 361 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 1: they're in a very good spot. They're gonna stack the 362 00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: box on Latavius Murray and Jalen Richard, DeAndre Washington and 363 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: dare the quarterback to beat them, whichever quarterback it is, 364 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: right And look what happened today because Denver's rushing defense. 365 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,919 Speaker 1: You know, if you're watching these Broncos games, they've been vulnerable. 366 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: You can run on them. But fifty seven yards for 367 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: the Raiders today and I think on Thursday we talk 368 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: about the one way you want to come in and 369 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: set the tone of your Oakland, come in and run 370 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: the ball on them. Because Oakland does have a diverse backfield, 371 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: they've been able to do that, and the opposite happened, 372 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: and so yes, it's a terrible diagnosis potentially against Houston. 373 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: And Mike Florio of NBC Sports reported UH that Gary 374 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 1: Kubiak told Broncos players after the game that he will retire. 375 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: We we heard about this earlier Sunday that health issues 376 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 1: UH playing a role. So Kubiak getting ready uh to 377 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: step aside and West. Where does the Broncos job rank 378 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,959 Speaker 1: in terms of best available head coaching jobs right now? 379 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: I think it has to rank at the top. When 380 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,199 Speaker 1: you're talking about the ownership group and John Elway. That 381 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: is one of the best run teams in the NFL. 382 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 1: They have a rich history, They've got the nucleus of 383 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: a great defense. You may or may not have a 384 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: shot at Tony Romo or or even if you keep 385 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: Trevor Simeon promising start today out of him, but I 386 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: think the coaching line up there, it stacks up to 387 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: be pretty interesting. Vans Joseph Miami's defensive coordinator is in 388 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: the running per rap sheet, which is interesting because Wade Phillips, 389 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: who has been a mastermind with the defense, is not 390 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: under contract in two thousand seventeen. Let's move on to 391 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: the NFC, and speaking of number two seeds, Ryan in 392 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: the gun takes the snap. Here comes the pressure man, 393 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: gonna Crow Hardy to catch. He broke the plane touched 394 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: down Atlanta. What a great catch against Sterling Moore for 395 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 1: Justin Hardy. West Durham w z g C. With the called, 396 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: the Falcons scored on all five of their first half possessions. Then, 397 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: with the Saints comeback attempt in the second half, the 398 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: final score thirty eight thirty two. The Falcons win. They 399 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: lock up the number two seed in the NFC. Uh 400 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan put the finishing touches on his m VP resume, 401 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 1: throwing a touchdowns all in the first half. Chris Westling. 402 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 1: The Falcons rolled up over three total yards in the 403 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: first half alone. You know who could stop this offense 404 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: in January? It's a good question. You know, every week 405 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: they look like they're getting more and more honed. They're 406 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: clicking on all cylinders every week, and then this first half. 407 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: It was just incredible. They scored on the opening drive 408 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 1: for the sixth straight week, they score a touchdown, which 409 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 1: is the first time that's happened since the merger, and 410 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 1: then they go by the middle of the second quarter 411 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: they've had they faced one third down while scoring four touchdowns. 412 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: That's just incredible. If efficiency they had only had the 413 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: ball for four minutes in that span. I I am 414 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: so happy as just a pure fan to see Atlanta 415 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,199 Speaker 1: notch that number two seed, because for all the teams 416 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: that might have snuck into the playoffs that we aren't 417 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 1: overly impressed with the idea of Atlanta and Dallas facing off, 418 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: or Green Bay in Atlanta, green Bay in Dallas, and 419 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 1: even you throw Seattle in there. I think they've got 420 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: some weaknesses. But the NFC playoff line up to be fascinating. 421 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: And it's the Atlanta Falcons. You know, last year they 422 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: peaked so early and then it was they just vanished. 423 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: The way they're playing right now it is it's I 424 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: don't know who would want to deal with them right now. 425 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: Their offense is white hot. We had the little exercise 426 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 1: last week where we were pitching m VP candidates and 427 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: Wes you spoke about Matt Ryan. I made the case 428 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers, but I think that Matt Ryan he 429 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: once again, I mean if if he had to rubber 430 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 1: stamp his resume or not that you rubber stamp resumes. 431 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: But you know where I'm going with that, Um he 432 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: did it again. I mean, and you said it West. 433 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: From Week one to Week seventeen, this guy was one 434 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,479 Speaker 1: of the very best quarterbacks, if not the best quarterback 435 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: in the league almost every week. And that's why you 436 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 1: should be the MVP. There are so many numbers that 437 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: support his case. After today, he finishes with a one 438 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 1: seventeen point one passer rating. Tom Brady's in that magical 439 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: two thousand seven season was one seventeen point two. They're 440 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: virtually identical, and Matt Ryan's gonna have the highest yards 441 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: per tempt of any quarter back in history with four 442 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: passing attempts. I do think their defense, which is this 443 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 1: I'm not breaking news here, has been an issue all year, 444 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: continues to be one and it's but you know what, 445 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 1: Sometimes you roll into the playoffs with this kind of 446 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: an offense and you make up for your defense. I mean, 447 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: we've seen teams with last ranked rushing attacks win the 448 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. There's always these corks to these teams. Yeah, 449 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 1: they their defense was a little bit better today than 450 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,479 Speaker 1: the final numbers were show. It was thirty eight, I 451 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 1: believe late in the third quarter, early fourth, So it 452 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: was a it was a blowout. Um. Alright, so we 453 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: know that the say, oh we should touch on the 454 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,199 Speaker 1: Sean Payton rumors floating around out there, Mark, What are 455 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 1: the people, what are the streets saying talking? Well, there 456 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: were whispers that there is mutual interest between Sean Payton, 457 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: whose news whose name creeps into the news and into 458 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: these circles every year, every single season, and it's it's 459 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,479 Speaker 1: from it's the result of an active agent and in 460 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 1: some cases and an act of imagination. But I think 461 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: there's something to this that the Rams and Sean Payton 462 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: may have mutual interest. And you know, if you put 463 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,360 Speaker 1: it all together, it makes some sense. But he's under contract. 464 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: He just walked around the owners meetings last March with 465 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: his little brief paste with a contract extension. And it's so, 466 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: you know, what do the Rams have to trade? I mean, 467 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 1: you already gave up your first round pick to the Titans. 468 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: A good question, Hey, I mean this is the rams 469 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: for a team that just got to this highly desirable market, 470 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: feel like a desperate team if you look at the game. 471 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 1: We'll talk about the rams um a little later, but 472 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: if you if you look at that stadium today, there 473 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 1: was nobody there. They need juice. Youn Payton would provide 474 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 1: some juice, I think, But we'll see what happens. This 475 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: could be all smoke, but we got the time to 476 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: figure it out. Um. The Washington Redskins had a chance, 477 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: uh to get back into the playoffs? Uh? Did they 478 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: take advantage of their opportunity? First intent of a giant 479 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 1: twenty three and it's a play fake Cousins looking backside pressure, 480 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 1: he throws, the fender, falls down and a pass that's 481 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 1: picked off on the near sideline Dominic Rodgers Cromarty. He 482 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 1: was looking for Maurice Harris, who stumbled and Crimarady right 483 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 1: on the spot gets the pick, the twenty nine of 484 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: his career, his fifth of the season, and the momentum 485 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: out of this building for the Redskins as well as 486 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: their playoff hopes. John Sadek Westwood won Sports. The Redskins 487 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: had everything to play for on Sunday, and they gave 488 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: it away. More accurately, No, we didn't, Kirk, because you 489 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: gave it away your fourth quarter interception, sealing Washington's fate 490 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 1: in a nineteen ten lost to the Giants. For New York, 491 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: it was another showcase of their excellent defense, which has 492 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: made enough place to cover for slacking offense. West Uh. 493 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins cost himself millions of dollars with one ill 494 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 1: fated throw, Yes or no, I don't think so. I 495 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: think he's still getting paid. They easily broke the franchise 496 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: record for most yards this year. I think Kirk Cousins, 497 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 1: since mid season of two thousand fifteen, owns the NFL's 498 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 1: highest passer eighteen. I think he's proven that he can 499 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: run a pretty darn explosive offense. But those two games 500 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: where you controlled your own destiny against the Panthers and 501 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 1: a Giants team that really had not much to play for, 502 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: that's so depressing that you could not win those two 503 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: building I mean, I think also, yeah, I mean Kirk Cousins. 504 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: His name is on that highlight meltdown play. But there's 505 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 1: a lot more to the Redskins failures than just Kirk Cousins. 506 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 1: I think he definitely coaches and GMS when they evaluate 507 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: the whole body of work. To kirk Cousin, if one 508 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: of these seven eight nine teams without a quarterback, he 509 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,919 Speaker 1: is a much safer proposition than hoping you can you know, 510 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 1: strike it rich with a second round quarterback or something 511 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: that you have to start from absolute scratch with. They 512 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 1: also rushed for twenty eight and thirty eight yards, and 513 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,920 Speaker 1: those two home losses to the Pants and Giants, that's 514 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: just as big of a problem, if not bigger. When 515 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: they were good, we saw them pounding people with them. 516 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: But that feels those point months ago, right, Yeah, this 517 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 1: is you know, it's it's a team loss, obviously, but 518 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,719 Speaker 1: the angela behind the glass, who was the Redskins fin 519 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: We were just talking about this before the show. I 520 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: I felt what what he felt last year in Week 521 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: seventeen when the Jets blewing chance to get to the playoffs, 522 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: when Ryan Fitzpatrick through three interceptions in the fourth quarter 523 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,239 Speaker 1: against the Bills, Kirk Cousins, you know, he blew this 524 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 1: game because they were struggling to get going in the 525 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: in in off on the offensive side of the ball 526 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: all day. They finally get cooking with a big pass 527 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: play in the third quarter and almost immediately throws the 528 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 1: red zone interception to kill off one drive, and then 529 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 1: he throws the pick when they were right outside knocking 530 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: on the door a field goal range. Again, he's gonna 531 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 1: get paid. I think. I think the Redskins would not 532 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,439 Speaker 1: be wise to to overreact to this game. But it 533 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 1: doesn't make you think a little bit. Is Kirk Cousins 534 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: really the guy that you want to pay a hundred 535 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: million dollars? They're kind of in a weird spot where 536 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 1: they might not believe it but still do it. Anyway, 537 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 1: everybody gets a hundred million dollars if you're a quarterback 538 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: in the NFL, and you're if you're the franchise guy, 539 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 1: and he's proven I think over the last two years 540 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,719 Speaker 1: to be the franchise guy, you're getting a hundred million dollars. 541 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: I liked that New York they were locked into the 542 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: fifth spot, nothing was going to change for them. That 543 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: they played their starters from wire to wire and you 544 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: see a guy like Paul Perkins a hundred and two 545 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: yards on the ground hundred and sixty one total for 546 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 1: the Giants. Now, I don't I don't trust them to 547 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: do that week after week, but for one of their 548 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: biggest weaknesses, the run game. For most of the year, 549 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: it's an encouraging step. I don't think it's a weakness 550 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 1: any longer. The way he's been running, specifically over the 551 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: past month, getting better every week, and then Rashan Jennings 552 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: a little bit healthier. I think they can run the 553 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: ball now. Now, whether Eli can pass it that's a 554 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 1: different question. That's a big yeah. They they once again 555 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: did not have a good offensive showing uh. Eli made 556 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: a big pass, a big completion downfield to set up 557 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: the field goal. They were ahead, tend nothing, Washington came 558 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: back and then they got the field goal to go 559 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: to go ahead. So this is how they play. This 560 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,479 Speaker 1: is it might be surprising to what we thought they 561 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: were gonna be going into the season, but they try 562 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: to get enough points on offense. And then we've talked 563 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: about this is the season where every team has this 564 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: like pretender defense. The Giants have the real deal defense 565 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: in the league. They holding to I think they've held 566 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: opponents uh in the twelve point range on a weekly 567 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: basis now for about a month plus, so they I 568 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: mean this they're the real deal. On day, can they 569 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: score enough points Let's check in on another playoff team, 570 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. Four man Rush Wilson has time throws 571 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: to the end zone, touchdown, Seahawks Wilson to Wilson, Luke 572 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: Wilson five yards deep in the end zone on a 573 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: slant and it was a dark thrown by Russell eleven 574 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: yards and the Seahawks fight their way back into this 575 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: one against the Niners fourteen to twelve. It wasn't pretty, 576 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: but the Seattle Seahawks. That, by the way, was Steve 577 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: rabel k I r O. But the Seattle Seahawks got 578 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: it done. Three win over the forty Niners, who will 579 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 1: have a new coach and general manager in the coming weeks. 580 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a bit. Let's start with 581 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: the Seahawks, who finish as UH ten five and one 582 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: NFC West champions and await the winner of Sunday Night 583 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: Football pulled back the a little bit. We're recording this 584 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: as SNF um UH is being played to find out 585 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: their wild card opponent. Um mark this. You know, Seattle, 586 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: they got the win, but again, you you feel weird 587 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: about the Seahawks going into the playoffs. I do. I mean, 588 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: if we're concerned about the Giants scoring points. It's not 589 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: that not as much with Seattle. But this is a 590 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: team that at halftime had twenty yards rushing and they 591 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: had ten yards in the entire first quarter. Chip Kelly 592 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: was going for broke, going for it on fourth down 593 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: twice in the first half, and they got up early. 594 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: It's one of the only times I've seen the Niners 595 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: do that. But with Seattle, they mind their way out 596 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: of it. But I am concerned this This is against 597 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: the worst defense in the league. You would think this 598 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: would be a tune up, playoff, tune up for the Seahawks, 599 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: and they really struggled for much of the game until 600 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: turning it on late. They really are not a balanced 601 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: team right now. And it's the counter opposite of the 602 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: Seattle teams that we've all watched over the last four 603 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: or five years, where you know that they're built for 604 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: January football road or at home. I don't see that 605 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: with this team right now. On offense, they they twenty 606 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: five rushes in the game for eighty seven yards three 607 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: and a half yards to carry against. Like we said, 608 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: a terrible runs. They they they have issues running the ball. 609 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: Was I don't think we can figure out who the 610 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: Seahawks are right now. They're so inconsistent from week to week. 611 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: Some weeks they look dominant, some weeks they look beatable 612 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: by some of the worst teams in the NFL. They 613 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: could go all the way to the Super Bowl, or 614 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: they could lose in the first round. I don't think 615 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: we can figure them out at all. On the forty 616 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 1: Niner side, Trent Balki told radio station k n b 617 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,959 Speaker 1: R A M in San Francisco on Sunday afternoon that 618 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: he has been fired from his position of general manager 619 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: of the forty Niners, and rap Sheet reported that owner 620 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,959 Speaker 1: Jed York and the forty Niners key decision makers makers 621 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: are also expected to replace chip Kelly. According to multiple sources, 622 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: a full house cleaning is described as quote likely by 623 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 1: several people of knowledge of the situation. Uh it feels overdue, 624 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: at least from the Trent balky angle. Was it too 625 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: soon to cut ties with chip Kelly? I'm done with 626 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 1: chip Kelly. I don't know what he offers the NFL 627 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: that is enthralling anymore interesting anymore. Send him back to 628 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: college as far as I'm concerned. The one difference with 629 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: this team and I realized this isn't a Niners team 630 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: laden with stars with a lot of opinions. Necessarily, they 631 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 1: really seem to like him. They're all these players come 632 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: out of the worldwork saying that they like Chip Kelly. 633 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,960 Speaker 1: That maybe I'm wondering if he had changed at all 634 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: or change this approach. But what are you going to 635 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: tell the next candidate coming in here? Because the roster 636 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: is still absolute bottom of the barrel. Yeah, you have 637 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: the number two pick. That's that's not enough to save 638 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: an entire franchise depending on what's there the I think 639 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 1: the biggest security factor for the next candidate is that 640 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: your CEO, Jed York, has fired two coaches after one season. 641 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: He cannot afford to fire the next coach after one season. 642 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: That guy's got some security. I think I saw a 643 00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: tweet that they have thirty million in salary going to 644 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: their last two head coaches. It's not just the head coaches, 645 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: it's the whole staff. It's everyone else attached to that too. 646 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: So it's an incredible amount of cash tied up to 647 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: an incredible failure. That power struggle between Trent Bulky And 648 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: and Jim Harball could not have gone any worse for 649 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: the fallout from that look, I get that Jim Harbaugh 650 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 1: is hard to work with it. He might drive you nuts. 651 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 1: Great coach, though, Jed Yorke bet on the wrong horse. 652 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 1: And now they're uh, they're really in football hell and 653 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: they have to dig themselves out and they want to 654 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: find new leadership to do it. Let's check in on 655 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, who really had nothing to play for 656 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: in this game. But we did get to see an 657 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: old friend on the field, Cromo in the gun and 658 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: look and laugh for a little fade to Williams and 659 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 1: a great head nod. Williams caught it touchdown, Robo with 660 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,959 Speaker 1: a touchdown on his first possession of the year. And 661 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: I will guarantee you you could see it. I don't 662 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: know what they called, but Robo looked up and he 663 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: looked at Williams and he nodded, and it was as 664 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: though they and if do you get press coverage, then 665 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: you go right by the guy. And I'm throwing a fade. 666 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: Brad Sham the Sham God k R L D. And 667 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: Sham's exactly right. He checked Romo checked out of he 668 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 1: played one series in this game. He had checked out 669 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: of a run play near the goal line, uh and 670 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: into that pass and it and it was such a 671 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: great illustration of the chemistry that Romo still has with this, 672 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 1: with his receivers and the and the his deep knowledge 673 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: and understanding of the offense. It's just an interesting little 674 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,359 Speaker 1: look into the soul of this team. So Tony Romo, 675 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 1: crisp and efficient. One series of work. The biggest takeaway 676 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 1: in the eagles seven thirteen win over the Cowboys. Romo, 677 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,760 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, and Mark Sanchez also saw time in this game. 678 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: Um the Cowboys finished thirteen and three. They have the 679 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 1: number one seed in the playoffs in the NFC. Well, 680 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,720 Speaker 1: the Eagles finished seven and nine, matching their two thousand 681 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:55,760 Speaker 1: fifteen finish. You'll take that with a rookie quarterback, right, Wes. Yeah. 682 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is just such a tough evaluation because he's 683 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 1: oozing with talent. You can see he has all of that, 684 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 1: and he's got the commitment, he's got the high football 685 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: i Q. You've got all that, and then his mechanics 686 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 1: are just kind of a mess right now, and you 687 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: wonder how that's gonna be going forward. Doug Peterson has 688 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,800 Speaker 1: said they expected his mechanics to be a little sloppies 689 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 1: first year, So we'll see if they can clean it up. 690 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 1: But they've got some work to do as far as 691 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 1: skill position players in that offense too. They I I've 692 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 1: watched wentzall season, and I would take the ups and 693 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: downs with him over every single quarterback the Browns have 694 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: had since Bernie Cozar in a second, and because I 695 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,319 Speaker 1: think it's because unlike some of these young guys that 696 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 1: they do if they want to, they want it or 697 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,720 Speaker 1: they don't. It seems like Carson Wentz is so married 698 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: to this job, to this opportunity that I wonder if 699 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 1: it'll be a lesson for other quarterbacks with mechanical issues 700 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 1: coming into the NFL, how he chooses to deal with it. 701 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 1: If it's successful, the Eagles need to add some playmakers 702 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 1: around him as well. What what stat line that will 703 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 1: jump off this page? Uh? And I'm curious where you 704 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: guys look at him as an evaluation of a talent. 705 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,799 Speaker 1: Zach Ertz on sixteen targets today, thirteen catches for a 706 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty nine yards and two touchdowns. Um, looks 707 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,439 Speaker 1: like they have some chemistry together, you and arts Fan West, 708 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 1: doesn't he do this every week seventeen. I feel like 709 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 1: he last year he closed out the year with fourteen catches. 710 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,359 Speaker 1: I think for fifteen. Yeah, it seems like he shows 711 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:22,799 Speaker 1: up at the end of the year. He's not a 712 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,319 Speaker 1: great blocker, Uh, he's kind of just a souped up 713 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,439 Speaker 1: wide receiver at tight end. But I just wonder why 714 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,399 Speaker 1: he doesn't do this more often. I mean, I wonder 715 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,840 Speaker 1: if it's also a function of an offense that has 716 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: no field stretching wide receivers. And I mean him ERTs 717 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: and Carson Wentz have matched together pretty well. I think 718 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: it's just because this is the guy that is around 719 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 1: eight to ten yards downfield all day long. For you. 720 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 1: Breaking news just came over the wire minutes ago. That 721 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 1: Chip Kelly firing is official, as is the Trent Balky dismissal. 722 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 1: So both those guys out in Sanford, Cisco, it is official. Uh, 723 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 1: back back to this game. In fact, you know Greg's 724 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 1: not here. He's our you know, our computation man around here, 725 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:14,280 Speaker 1: computation corner. Do we call us compulations, tamputations, some tempulations whatever. 726 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 1: But luckily we have another robot and he's actually over 727 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: on the fantasy corner. So let's swinging over to Mark Sessler. 728 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 1: What's being asked to me? Tell us about the Dallas Cowboys? 729 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 1: Who who are they gonna see two weeks from now? 730 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,319 Speaker 1: It all depends on how the seating breaks down in 731 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 1: the next games. I know, I just wanted to use 732 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,719 Speaker 1: the robot sound effect mostly. Yeah, I mean it's I 733 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 1: cannot perive nothing. Let's talk in a week, do we 734 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,360 Speaker 1: have the wish you were in? A liar sound effect 735 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,360 Speaker 1: for Jerry Jones after he told us that Ezekiel Elliott 736 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 1: would play and play a lot in search of Eric 737 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 1: Dickerson's record. Didn't come up the bench. Here we go, 738 00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:00,239 Speaker 1: didn't come off the bench. Smart move though, whatever? Right, 739 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:05,360 Speaker 1: I don't know, like what it's there's no answer. You 740 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:06,919 Speaker 1: can say it's a smart move or you can say 741 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 1: it's not. I mean, I mean it's it's the safer move. 742 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 1: And you've got nothing to lose by sitting there. If 743 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 1: if he plays and he ever got hurt or tweaked 744 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: his knee and he was out for three weeks, Jerry 745 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 1: Jones would be villain number one in the entire American Southwest. 746 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,799 Speaker 1: All right, So Mark is actually human and I know 747 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 1: that because his heart heart was racing during the Cleveland 748 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 1: Browns finale. Today there's the snap, the blitz strowing along 749 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:36,919 Speaker 1: down the fields down that's Toby Hamilton, brings the game 750 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:41,879 Speaker 1: in all the time, hits up twenty six shots out 751 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 1: in this place, there's crazy Bill Hillgrove w d V. 752 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: What they called Landry Jones is pretty lob past the 753 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: Kobe Hamilton's in ot was the difference is the Steelers 754 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 1: collection of backups beat the Browns at Hines Field. Uh 755 00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 1: in o t as I said, the Browns had the 756 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 1: lead in overtime, they kicked the field goal and have 757 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: the game one in regulation if not for a ghastly 758 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,839 Speaker 1: Isaiah crow L fumble near the goal line. But Mark, 759 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: not all losses are bad losses right well? And I 760 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: I understand that there are people in Cleveland that just 761 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,400 Speaker 1: want to win no matter what. They just want to 762 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 1: win every game, and the meaningful nature of what this 763 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,439 Speaker 1: was tied to with the draft comes second to them. 764 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 1: And I'm and good for them. From where I stand, 765 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 1: I am running out of years to watch this team 766 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,279 Speaker 1: turning around. If they're gonna be a bad team go 767 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,400 Speaker 1: into the offseason controlling the draft. It's not like you 768 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 1: were playing a Pittsburgh team loaded with all its starters 769 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,439 Speaker 1: in there, and this was some sort of measuring stick game. 770 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: It was a true definition of a meaningless week. Seventeen. 771 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,759 Speaker 1: Hollow attempted a potential victory. I think it's important to 772 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,799 Speaker 1: secure the number one pick and see where they go 773 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:51,640 Speaker 1: from here. Pittsburgh is in a completely different situation. It's 774 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 1: so obvious to see that their worlds away from the 775 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. Had big Ben in the and the rest 776 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:57,800 Speaker 1: of those people been on the field, they would have 777 00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: won by twenty points. Such a bizarre, bizarre game. I 778 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 1: wasn't really plugged in for the first three quarters, and 779 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 1: then I I got invested in the fourth quarter. I 780 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 1: think you wrote like you You probably wrote like two 781 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 1: or three end a run Probisoft of the bizarre nature. 782 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 1: This is a wacky game down the stretch and the 783 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,399 Speaker 1: two things like number I absolutely agree with you, Mark. 784 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 1: We had a fundamental disagreement about whether it was important 785 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 1: for them to win our game. Once they won the game, 786 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,880 Speaker 1: now there's no there's really no incentive none of this. 787 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 1: Oh well, they went into the offseason with two straight 788 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 1: wins and they're gonna feed off. That's all horse crap. 789 00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: I forget about that. And the other thing that that 790 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,960 Speaker 1: just crossed my mind as you were talking, not that 791 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,400 Speaker 1: I wasn't listening to you. I was listening to you. 792 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 1: What also formulating. I thought, all right, I'll take that. 793 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 1: Can you imagine if the Browns were oh and fifteen 794 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 1: and this is how they lost the last season. I mean, 795 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 1: they lost some weird games, but this this thing was 796 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 1: it was fourth and fourth and two at around midfield 797 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,359 Speaker 1: that they got to stop there the Browns fall out 798 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,359 Speaker 1: of the number one pick, and then they were gonna 799 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,840 Speaker 1: they went for it anyway, and the Steelers said, screw it, 800 00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:59,479 Speaker 1: we're gonna win the game. And they had a pick 801 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,360 Speaker 1: sit to pick six in the making off of Landry 802 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,839 Speaker 1: Jones that got fumbled off the pylon into the end zone. 803 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,319 Speaker 1: Landry Jones, of all people, picked it up for a 804 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,440 Speaker 1: Steeler's touch back. I mean it, everything was telling you 805 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,240 Speaker 1: the football gods are saying not today, and by the way, 806 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,839 Speaker 1: almost never any day if you're the Browns. It's been 807 00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 1: an awful season. I transcribed a sentence that Mark uttered 808 00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 1: while the Browns were driving, and over time, I will 809 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,839 Speaker 1: not tolerate anyone acting like this. Is some great achievement. 810 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,280 Speaker 1: When Mitch Trobinsky goes to another team and the Browns 811 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 1: get some guard who's out of league in three years, Well, 812 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 1: they Browns fans. And again there's different camps of Browns fans, 813 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,560 Speaker 1: like with any fan base. But the Carson Wentz thing 814 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,839 Speaker 1: potentially still stings. And so how many years are gonna 815 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,279 Speaker 1: say we're gonna not even have the power to take 816 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:49,799 Speaker 1: a quarterback. I like the way you put it there. 817 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,320 Speaker 1: They control the draft, the Browns of control over very little, 818 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,759 Speaker 1: very little, but they control this draft at least the 819 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 1: first pick, and pick I believe it is the well 820 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 1: is Actually it looks like it's the twelve. It's the first, 821 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,920 Speaker 1: the twelve, thirty, third, and the fiftie. That's four picks 822 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:11,719 Speaker 1: in the top fifty that total. I think it's fourteen 823 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 1: picks total, but I'd have to confirm that again. But 824 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 1: that's power. But it's only power because they've done this before. 825 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,359 Speaker 1: You have to draft well or it's a it's just 826 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,399 Speaker 1: heightened embarrassment. We have to find a quarterback. Yes, nice 827 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:28,839 Speaker 1: conversation downstairs, Mark that what if the Bill Belichick calls 828 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:35,640 Speaker 1: up your boy Sashi and says to him Yo, Yo, 829 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:40,080 Speaker 1: this is Belichick. It's me, coach Belichick. Why is he 830 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 1: celsters to learn? Have you ever heard him talk? I 831 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,799 Speaker 1: mean he's never spoken before. That's not true. Yo. Give 832 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 1: me a twelfth overall pick and I'll give you Jimmy 833 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 1: g Are You're gonna do it? Okay, I think it'd be. 834 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 1: I think it's a fair trade. I think that it's 835 00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,880 Speaker 1: you know, I don't by all indication, there's not that 836 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,360 Speaker 1: quarterbacks sitting out there that you take number one overall. 837 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 1: And I think we know that Jimmy g like, unlike 838 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,360 Speaker 1: some of the quarterbacks that have in the past, cares 839 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 1: very much about being a starting quarterback at some point. 840 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,120 Speaker 1: It's a risk, yes, go for what are gonna get 841 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,080 Speaker 1: at number twelve? So their last picks in that region 842 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,520 Speaker 1: are not even on the team right now in most cases. 843 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:23,439 Speaker 1: So by it's by the way, Ben check, I think 844 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,600 Speaker 1: the call might go the other way. I'm not sure 845 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 1: belitics looking at you know, well, we I think we 846 00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,720 Speaker 1: learned last year the Hugh Jackson has very defined, strong 847 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 1: opinions on quarterbacks, so he would have to be on 848 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,799 Speaker 1: board with it. Absolutely. Absolutely. Let's check in on the 849 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:40,200 Speaker 1: other matchup in the a f C North Today. Dalton 850 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,480 Speaker 1: back to throw rolls, right throws caught by c j 851 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 1: U Samah touchdown Bengals as c j U Sama my 852 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 1: first NFL TD Congratulations c J Dan Howard Hord Horde.

Is it with two g's? 855 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. Is there a Chris Horde and a 856 00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,799 Speaker 1: Mark Hord with a C? There are only Dan and 857 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 1: Greg Horde. They like sportscasting dynas dynasty, the Horde Dynasty. 858 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:20,240 Speaker 1: W c K y Andy Dalton threw one touchdown pass 859 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,280 Speaker 1: and Rex Burkhead ran for two scores as the Bengals 860 00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 1: ended their season with win over the Ravens and uh, 861 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,120 Speaker 1: what was Steve Smith's final game? We love you, Steve 862 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:34,239 Speaker 1: enjoy retirement. The Ravens go eight and eight while the 863 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,360 Speaker 1: Bengals finish a disappointing six nine and one. Chris Wesling 864 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,359 Speaker 1: put on your lab code for me. Let's go down 865 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:44,120 Speaker 1: to the lab and uh explain what went wrong with 866 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,880 Speaker 1: the Bengals of the season In thirty seconds or less. 867 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,719 Speaker 1: The offensive line went from one of the best in 868 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:51,960 Speaker 1: the NFL to one of the worst in the NFL. 869 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,760 Speaker 1: The running game never really got a consistency, the defense 870 00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:59,640 Speaker 1: lacked playmakers as opposed to last season, and then A 871 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,400 Speaker 1: J Green's injury which really sabotaged them towards the end 872 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,000 Speaker 1: of the year. But they did find Rex Burkhead. Unfortunately, 873 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:06,400 Speaker 1: he's gonna be a free agent. He went over a 874 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,719 Speaker 1: hundred and forty yards today. I think he can be 875 00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,520 Speaker 1: a good pickup for somebody. It's a good thing you 876 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:14,520 Speaker 1: wear the lab code because it's drafty down here. Oh yeah, yeah, 877 00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,920 Speaker 1: that's that's how it is down in the labyrinth. I 878 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:18,840 Speaker 1: don't understand. Why don't you just, you know, get a 879 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,920 Speaker 1: space heater or something. It's not in the budget for 880 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,799 Speaker 1: what the NFL pays me. Do you have anyone we're 881 00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 1: back in that world. Do you have anything to add? 882 00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,720 Speaker 1: I thought we cleared that. Uh, do you have anything 883 00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,680 Speaker 1: to add? Mark off of what West said about the 884 00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati ball Club, I mean he's down in the 885 00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:36,680 Speaker 1: lab I'm just up here on the second floor of 886 00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:40,319 Speaker 1: the house looking out the window, not really doing much. 887 00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:43,080 Speaker 1: I don't have anything to add. I think he summed 888 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:47,279 Speaker 1: it up as what about Baltimore. Well, they're about to 889 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,320 Speaker 1: become an underground train that runs to West's Old Barn, Georgia. 890 00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,960 Speaker 1: So it's hard to take much out of this game. 891 00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,480 Speaker 1: I think they were probably deflated after missing the playoffs 892 00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,719 Speaker 1: and maybe didn't come out with both guns blazing in 893 00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:02,799 Speaker 1: this one. Uh. Joe Flacco to Steve Smith, I think 894 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,399 Speaker 1: was anticlimactic. We all thought that maybe they would feed 895 00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,680 Speaker 1: him and his last game. He has three for thirty 896 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,320 Speaker 1: four to end a stellar career and he'll be in 897 00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,560 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame some day. Speaking of deflated, do 898 00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,480 Speaker 1: you believe Wes that Tom Brady had a role in 899 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,320 Speaker 1: the deflation of those footballs ahead of the two thousand 900 00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,399 Speaker 1: fourteen A Championship. No, that never passed the smell test 901 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,000 Speaker 1: to me, the logic tests. Why. I can see that 902 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,960 Speaker 1: he would tell those two guys or whatever, one guy, 903 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:28,880 Speaker 1: I like my balls right at the bottom of the 904 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:30,440 Speaker 1: legal limit, and that made all the sense in the 905 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 1: world to do we have any other weather worn bits 906 00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 1: we want to get into this show before it wraps. Uh? No, 907 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,680 Speaker 1: let's move on in fact and talk about this could 908 00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 1: have been a great matchup, but instead it was another 909 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,680 Speaker 1: uh knock it out game. Between the Houston Texans and 910 00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:51,160 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans fumble. It's been recovered in the ends on 911 00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:59,520 Speaker 1: five day pon jokes it's the daily devil. That's sad 912 00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:05,440 Speaker 1: that touchdown and that Titans get a defensive score for 913 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:08,920 Speaker 1: the first time this year. M I like that, you 914 00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,600 Speaker 1: know what, I like the fact this is in West. 915 00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,600 Speaker 1: You tell me if you agree with this. I know 916 00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,400 Speaker 1: it's not the greatest call the year, but the reason 917 00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,560 Speaker 1: I believe it deserves top ten call the year, um 918 00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,799 Speaker 1: talk and speculation is because he did it in week 919 00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,640 Speaker 1: seventeen when it didn't matter and he just still had 920 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,520 Speaker 1: the passion for the sport. I would disagree with you 921 00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,000 Speaker 1: in the sense the same reason why David Johnson camp 922 00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:34,960 Speaker 1: be m v P. It's a meaningless game. I don't 923 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:36,960 Speaker 1: really care how good you up your game when the 924 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,279 Speaker 1: when the results don't matter. All right, I thought he 925 00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,600 Speaker 1: brought some energy. I I you know, I know you're 926 00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,879 Speaker 1: very into this Mr Horde character from the previous call. 927 00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,360 Speaker 1: A little bit more energy than that than that. Fellow. 928 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,759 Speaker 1: Let's let's put it on the list, and you know, 929 00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:55,560 Speaker 1: and what what West said, let's keep that under advise advisement. 930 00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,879 Speaker 1: The committee will take that under consideration. And by the way, 931 00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,960 Speaker 1: we're not FFing around after the season ends. I'm thinking 932 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,560 Speaker 1: maybe the show after when we get back from the 933 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,800 Speaker 1: super Bowl, or in that time frame, we will unveil 934 00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:11,160 Speaker 1: the top ten calls. Sydney's thinking, great, it's a tremendous 935 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,040 Speaker 1: amount of work for me at a time when I 936 00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,880 Speaker 1: should be kicking my feet up. Uh yeah. So d 937 00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,920 Speaker 1: Kwon Jones put the Titans ahead with that fumble recovery 938 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,120 Speaker 1: and they and they never looked back, ending their season 939 00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:24,680 Speaker 1: with seventeen win over the a f C South champion 940 00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,560 Speaker 1: at Houston, Texans. Both teams finished nine and seven, but 941 00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:30,719 Speaker 1: only one keeps playing. Mark Tom Savage left this game 942 00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:36,040 Speaker 1: with a concussion. What's his status? Maybe, well we think 943 00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:37,840 Speaker 1: we I think we you know, we're gonna need to 944 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,960 Speaker 1: see because it whenever you got sort of a concussion scenario, 945 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,120 Speaker 1: you never get an answer within a couple of hours 946 00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,560 Speaker 1: what's happening with the player down the road. But it 947 00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:49,959 Speaker 1: was very confusing how it was managed, where it went 948 00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,960 Speaker 1: back and forth. He's being evaluated, he's fine, oh waite, 949 00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,799 Speaker 1: suddenly he's not. And then suddenly you've got brock Osweiler 950 00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,279 Speaker 1: back on the field and what has to amount to 951 00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,200 Speaker 1: a week seventeen. You know a lot of people out 952 00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,800 Speaker 1: late at night last night in Houston for New Year's 953 00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:06,279 Speaker 1: probably had some good dreams and some bad dreams. Some 954 00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,040 Speaker 1: of them probably woke up in the middle of this game, 955 00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,839 Speaker 1: saw Osweiler in the field and thought, what on earth 956 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:14,040 Speaker 1: has happened to two thousand seventeen already? I haven't had 957 00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:15,360 Speaker 1: a good rant in a while, and do we have 958 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:19,360 Speaker 1: time for one? We absolutely, all of you couch jockeys 959 00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:24,959 Speaker 1: and concussion experts, give me a break, like there's something 960 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,800 Speaker 1: the fairy is going on because Tom Savage got cleared. 961 00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,919 Speaker 1: Concussions aren't always cut and dry. You don't always notice 962 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:34,280 Speaker 1: the symptoms right away. So if the independent neurologists clears 963 00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,919 Speaker 1: him and then test him again a few minutes later 964 00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:38,960 Speaker 1: and he and he does have symptoms at that point, 965 00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,799 Speaker 1: shot it, couch jockey's let the independent neurologist do his job. 966 00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:46,480 Speaker 1: It's not some big conspiracy. Did anyone particularly stand out 967 00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:50,640 Speaker 1: anyone's opinion? There were several on Twitter, and you know 968 00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,960 Speaker 1: who you are, so pipe down, you clown. Did he 969 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:58,040 Speaker 1: injure himself on a quarterback sneak? I would need to 970 00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,800 Speaker 1: watch that more closely. Thank you for the detailed question. 971 00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,920 Speaker 1: I should have known that now because I if I 972 00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,960 Speaker 1: can't remember if it was Tom Savage at Terry Bradshaw 973 00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,959 Speaker 1: was woefully out of date and out of step talking 974 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,919 Speaker 1: about concussions during halftime show today. I thought that's might who. 975 00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,200 Speaker 1: I thought that might be who you were were targeting. 976 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,840 Speaker 1: And there'll be other reasons to, uh, you know, be 977 00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,640 Speaker 1: a little concerned about Terry Bradshaw's analysis at this point. 978 00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,480 Speaker 1: But I have to be honest. I was. I was 979 00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,319 Speaker 1: tasked with watching this out the corner of my eye, 980 00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:27,560 Speaker 1: and it paved the way. What what? How far in 981 00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:29,799 Speaker 1: the corner was it? It was pretty far? I was like, 982 00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,640 Speaker 1: you know, I sleep. You know, the league does not 983 00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,279 Speaker 1: need to be more than seventeen weeks long because I 984 00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,480 Speaker 1: don't need to see some of these teams. It wasn't 985 00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,440 Speaker 1: just these two for more than seventeen weeks. It is 986 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,120 Speaker 1: time for twenty of these teams to take a big 987 00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:46,839 Speaker 1: old dirt nap and vanish go to sleep. What does 988 00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:52,799 Speaker 1: the robot have to say about this? Here? Who? What 989 00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:58,120 Speaker 1: was that you? Here? Hey? Listen your robots? Weird Mark. 990 00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:00,680 Speaker 1: I don't know what to make because that I like 991 00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:05,319 Speaker 1: that person thing. Remember the Nighties movie Maximum Overdrive with 992 00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,560 Speaker 1: a c d C soundtrack where the robots took over 993 00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:13,040 Speaker 1: the world. I'll have to go look that up, all right. 994 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:20,160 Speaker 1: And now a real commercial from an actual CBS prime 995 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:25,399 Speaker 1: time program that millions of humans watch. Whiles from Hell. 996 00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,120 Speaker 1: The only way to see him we need to stopped 997 00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:33,360 Speaker 1: the heart from beatings to kill him spending animation scorpion. 998 00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:42,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I got drunk last night was New Yar's Eve, 999 00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,240 Speaker 1: and I never do this, but I went on Twitter 1000 00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:49,360 Speaker 1: drunk and I took some questions podcast listeners and someone 1001 00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,160 Speaker 1: asked what was your favorite bit of the season, what 1002 00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:54,759 Speaker 1: was your favorite thing all season? And a couple I 1003 00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:58,040 Speaker 1: threw some things out there. Um, you know, I think 1004 00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:02,160 Speaker 1: wes your your your lock it up up? Um thinks. 1005 00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,400 Speaker 1: So I don't remember what I tweeted at this point, 1006 00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:07,840 Speaker 1: but now that I think about his scorpion scorpion ads 1007 00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:11,520 Speaker 1: are right up there. I mean, nothing makes me happier 1008 00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:12,960 Speaker 1: when I hear them. What was it? We have to 1009 00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,200 Speaker 1: kill him in order to save him? Den, Wait just 1010 00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,000 Speaker 1: one more time, because I want to break this down 1011 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:21,400 Speaker 1: to us a little bit more. Miles from Hell we 1012 00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:24,960 Speaker 1: need to stopped the heart from beating used to kill him. 1013 00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:30,719 Speaker 1: Suspended animation Scorpion Monday. I mean it's every week with 1014 00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:34,920 Speaker 1: these ads. It feels like six completely different type of 1015 00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,680 Speaker 1: ideas just smashed together in one sound bite. The millions 1016 00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:40,400 Speaker 1: of millions of people watch the show. One day in 1017 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:43,360 Speaker 1: the off season, I will sit down on my couch 1018 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,920 Speaker 1: and binge watch every Scorpion episode ever. I don't think 1019 00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:50,680 Speaker 1: you come out better for that. Let's move on, check 1020 00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:54,479 Speaker 1: in on the Jacksonville Indie Tilt. Oh yeah, Andrew takes 1021 00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:59,520 Speaker 1: the snap, sets up, looks, he throws Doyle, Gack Doyle. 1022 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,120 Speaker 1: They get it. With nine seconds left in the game. 1023 00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:07,800 Speaker 1: Jack Doyle comes up with a great tax and the 1024 00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:11,160 Speaker 1: Colts lead in the football game twenty three to twenty. 1025 00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:13,840 Speaker 1: Bob blame me what they called w F and I 1026 00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:16,680 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck through a one yard touchdown past the Jack 1027 00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:19,600 Speaker 1: Doyle just nine seconds to play, lifting the Colts to 1028 00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,400 Speaker 1: twenty win over the Jaguars. Uh. The Colts went seventy 1029 00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,680 Speaker 1: five yards and eighty four seconds without the aid of 1030 00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:28,520 Speaker 1: a time out to win this game. UH the result, 1031 00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:32,200 Speaker 1: and he avoids its first losing season since two thousand eleven. 1032 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,560 Speaker 1: Of course, gentleman. That was the infamous suck for Luck 1033 00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:40,560 Speaker 1: campaign the Jaguars. Meanwhile, and another miserable year at three 1034 00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,840 Speaker 1: and thirteen, Chris Westling, what should be the focus of 1035 00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:48,680 Speaker 1: the Colts offseason? How about a new general manager, one 1036 00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:52,200 Speaker 1: who will actually get some young legs and pass rushers 1037 00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:55,560 Speaker 1: on defense, and the offensive line might finally have a 1038 00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,200 Speaker 1: nucleus they can build around. But they weren't ready to 1039 00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:00,200 Speaker 1: protect Andrew Luck for most of this year. Why not 1040 00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,759 Speaker 1: get a running back to Frank Gore's thirty three years 1041 00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,480 Speaker 1: old and has zero big playability. I think you can 1042 00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,280 Speaker 1: really need to construct this roster which has been allowed 1043 00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,320 Speaker 1: to fall into disrepair over the last couple It's like 1044 00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,239 Speaker 1: as if Gore was brought in at one point as 1045 00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,800 Speaker 1: the final piece in the puzzle. But you are not 1046 00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:17,759 Speaker 1: in that world anymore. I do wonder, because you know 1047 00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:22,000 Speaker 1: we call tomorrow Black Monday, that actually very very little 1048 00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:26,200 Speaker 1: fresh coaching GM firings seemed to be announced on that 1049 00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:28,760 Speaker 1: Monday anymore. It's all Sunday night that you hear everything, 1050 00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:30,600 Speaker 1: and I you know, will come out of this part 1051 00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:33,000 Speaker 1: of the show. But we've not heard anything about changes 1052 00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:34,920 Speaker 1: in Indie. I wonder if that could be something that 1053 00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,279 Speaker 1: might happen a couple of days from now after they 1054 00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:40,080 Speaker 1: do sit down and talk. J Mercy said two weeks 1055 00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,799 Speaker 1: ago that he had no changes in mind. He would 1056 00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:44,279 Speaker 1: have to review at the end of the season, but 1057 00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:46,920 Speaker 1: the way he spoke it did not seem like Chuck 1058 00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:50,160 Speaker 1: Pagano's job was in jeopardy, which is really interesting to 1059 00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,919 Speaker 1: me because it looked like Pagano was done last year. 1060 00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:56,480 Speaker 1: He comes back and they have another disappointing year. But 1061 00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,840 Speaker 1: it's not all on him, obviously. There's personnel issues with 1062 00:54:59,880 --> 00:55:02,960 Speaker 1: the team and their goal. Their goal from an overarching 1063 00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:06,880 Speaker 1: uh macro point of views, they need to avoid burning 1064 00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,200 Speaker 1: off another year of their quarterbacks prime, which is what 1065 00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,440 Speaker 1: they did this year. And he's still young. I think 1066 00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:13,719 Speaker 1: he'll probably twenty seven by opening day next year, so 1067 00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:17,279 Speaker 1: you you would think health allows he'll have another and 1068 00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:19,960 Speaker 1: five to ten years after that. But you, I mean, 1069 00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,480 Speaker 1: you just can't give away the guy's twenties with these 1070 00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:27,800 Speaker 1: flawed teams. Colts Worth noting sixty eight point advantage in 1071 00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:31,840 Speaker 1: point differential over the Texans this year. Wow, there you go. 1072 00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:35,439 Speaker 1: By the way Colts linebacker Robert Mathis played, his final game, 1073 00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,200 Speaker 1: nice season. Hall of Famer. I think he'll end up 1074 00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:39,960 Speaker 1: in the Hall of Very Good just because there are 1075 00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:43,600 Speaker 1: so many good pass rushers from from his generation whom 1076 00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:48,560 Speaker 1: I think we're more well rounded players. And one last note, Jags, lady, 1077 00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:52,800 Speaker 1: listen up. You can't have a newcomer come in and 1078 00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:56,680 Speaker 1: steal a show. Maybe it's time to steal show. And also, 1079 00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:01,200 Speaker 1: if you say I got a beach house, don't tell strangers, 1080 00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:03,920 Speaker 1: uh that it's right on the beach, and then correct 1081 00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,399 Speaker 1: yourself because you can't live with the guilt of lying 1082 00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:11,200 Speaker 1: to a television reporter anyway. The Jaguars win by year 1083 00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:17,960 Speaker 1: since their last five hundred season in two thousand ten, five, two, four, three, five, 1084 00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:22,520 Speaker 1: and now three. Not easy being a Jaguars fan. Sorry, guys, 1085 00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:27,319 Speaker 1: let's check in on last year's NFC champion. Yikes, come 1086 00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:31,680 Speaker 1: the buck stop Cam Newton two point trial. Here's the 1087 00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:36,359 Speaker 1: snap looking firepower to play the goal line knockdown by 1088 00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:41,319 Speaker 1: Keith Turndy, but Tanndy man tail again. Nice job. Jane 1089 00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:44,440 Speaker 1: decker Hof w f U s with the call. The 1090 00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:47,840 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers broke up Cam Newton's two point conversion 1091 00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:51,400 Speaker 1: attempt with seventeen seconds to play the decisive play in 1092 00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:54,600 Speaker 1: the seventeen sixteen win over the Panthers, who follow up 1093 00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:57,080 Speaker 1: a fifteen and one Super Bowl season with a six 1094 00:56:57,160 --> 00:57:01,360 Speaker 1: and ten stink bomb. It's he gave stink bombs. Newton 1095 00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,600 Speaker 1: struggled once again, throwing three more interceptions and the losing 1096 00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:09,719 Speaker 1: effort um Mark. Looking at Newton's two thousand fifteen and 1097 00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:13,000 Speaker 1: two thousand sixteen stats side by side, it's pretty jarring. 1098 00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:15,960 Speaker 1: What went wrong? And should Pathers fans be worried that 1099 00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,040 Speaker 1: this could be the new normal? Is this Cam Newton? 1100 00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:20,480 Speaker 1: It's interesting that he's paired in a quarterback room with 1101 00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:24,480 Speaker 1: Derrick Anderson, who seemed to also have a one fantastic 1102 00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:27,680 Speaker 1: deal with the devil type season that never ever came 1103 00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:31,560 Speaker 1: around again their different quarterbacks project. I like what Max Meyer, 1104 00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:34,920 Speaker 1: our editor downstairs, wrote about this in The Right Up, 1105 00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:38,000 Speaker 1: was that Cam Newton's performance was just as bad. Is 1106 00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:41,360 Speaker 1: what Mariah Carey offered in Times Square last night, which 1107 00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:45,360 Speaker 1: you know, also received terrible reviews from from the world 1108 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:47,840 Speaker 1: in general, And she deserved those reviews and Cam Newton 1109 00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:51,240 Speaker 1: deserves his poor reviews this season. West. Yeah, it's interesting. 1110 00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,080 Speaker 1: Ron Riverie and I had a back and forth on 1111 00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:55,960 Speaker 1: Cam Newton this week. Did you know about that? Oh? Yeah, 1112 00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:58,920 Speaker 1: he wrote that Cam Newton is gonna have to evolve, 1113 00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:01,760 Speaker 1: He's gonna to become a different style of players. So 1114 00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,240 Speaker 1: then I wrote an article saying they should use the 1115 00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:07,520 Speaker 1: Steelers Big Bend model because four years ago the Steelers 1116 00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:09,520 Speaker 1: came to Big Ben said we don't want you to 1117 00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:11,880 Speaker 1: be a physical marvel anymore. We want you to be 1118 00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,800 Speaker 1: a more cerebral quarterback. Stand in the pocket, get rid 1119 00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:18,360 Speaker 1: of the ball faster, and become a better quarterback, like 1120 00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,320 Speaker 1: more of a Tom Brady Peyton Manning pre snap kind 1121 00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:26,040 Speaker 1: of quarterback. Panther's website writer goes to Ron river and says, hey, 1122 00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,760 Speaker 1: Chris Westling at NFL dot com said, look, we've got 1123 00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:31,640 Speaker 1: the big bend model here. Is that a good model 1124 00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:33,480 Speaker 1: for Cam Newton? And Ron Rivera said yes, that's what 1125 00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:36,480 Speaker 1: we want to do. Get the ball out faster. We 1126 00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:38,160 Speaker 1: want to use the Big Ben model. I mean, you 1127 00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:43,560 Speaker 1: also played about me, you played in nicknames. So look 1128 00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:48,520 Speaker 1: remember but Ron and we're uh, what's the right word. 1129 00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:51,560 Speaker 1: We're SYMPATICO, Yes, you are? You are? You are SYMPATICO. 1130 00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:54,560 Speaker 1: I like riverboot but I think they here's what they 1131 00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,280 Speaker 1: need to do. They need to switch the offense. I 1132 00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,000 Speaker 1: wonder if Mike Shull was going to stay offensive coordinator, 1133 00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:02,920 Speaker 1: because the way they've been hinting that kind of hybrid 1134 00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,560 Speaker 1: college pro scheme, they probably want to get rid of 1135 00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,560 Speaker 1: that and go all pro, all NFL scheme and get 1136 00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:11,439 Speaker 1: rid of the college stuff, not not as many designed runs, 1137 00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:13,520 Speaker 1: but also they need to draft a running back, and 1138 00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:15,200 Speaker 1: they need this straighten out a running game that went 1139 00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:18,000 Speaker 1: thirty five straight games over a hundred yards and then 1140 00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:20,480 Speaker 1: this season five games in the second half of the 1141 00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:22,800 Speaker 1: season without a hundred yards. I mean it. It's It's 1142 00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:26,920 Speaker 1: funny though, because what coordinator that today is being touted 1143 00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,800 Speaker 1: as the greatest thing that's happened next year, for a 1144 00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:31,560 Speaker 1: year from now, is going to be the guy who's 1145 00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:34,440 Speaker 1: maybe out of a job because last year Shula had 1146 00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:37,360 Speaker 1: all these think pieces being written about them all through January, 1147 00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,440 Speaker 1: and how quickly that fades. I'm not saying he should 1148 00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:43,640 Speaker 1: be fired. I just wonder, especially since one other people 1149 00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:46,720 Speaker 1: have asked the same things. One of Ron Rivera's coaching mentors, 1150 00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:49,600 Speaker 1: as North Turner, who is now free to coach any 1151 00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:51,480 Speaker 1: offense he wants to if he wants to get off 1152 00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:55,200 Speaker 1: his couch. The Bucks had a very very slim chance 1153 00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:57,720 Speaker 1: of making the playoffs today. It didn't work out. They 1154 00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:00,360 Speaker 1: needed like thirteen things to go their way. It did not, 1155 01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:03,360 Speaker 1: but they still finished nine and seven and UH their 1156 01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:06,360 Speaker 1: first winning records since two thousand and ten. UH and 1157 01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:09,080 Speaker 1: Jameis Winston the first quarterback ever to throw for four 1158 01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:11,560 Speaker 1: thousand yards in each of his first two seasons. So 1159 01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:15,240 Speaker 1: you know, uniforms aside and and the horizon line of 1160 01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:19,200 Speaker 1: of the stadium with the sun. Things are looking up 1161 01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:21,800 Speaker 1: for Tampa. I agree, things are really looking up. Yeah. 1162 01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:23,480 Speaker 1: I want to figure out what they're gonna do with 1163 01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,480 Speaker 1: Doug Martin, who's so important to that offense. But Mike 1164 01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:29,520 Speaker 1: Evans is a future All Pro receiver if he doesn't 1165 01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:31,880 Speaker 1: get it this year. Jameis Winston is the real deal. 1166 01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,160 Speaker 1: They've got so many building blocks. Probably have to beef 1167 01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:36,520 Speaker 1: up that offensive line a little bit, and then got 1168 01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:38,640 Speaker 1: a couple more playmakers on defense. But I think it's 1169 01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:40,840 Speaker 1: a very promising season for them. Absolutely mean. It was 1170 01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:42,520 Speaker 1: a couple of months ago we were wondering if Turk 1171 01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:45,479 Speaker 1: Carter was gonna be one and done, and I see 1172 01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:48,120 Speaker 1: them more as like you get last year's Atlanta Falcons 1173 01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:50,440 Speaker 1: figuring out what they were under a new coach. Then 1174 01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:52,560 Speaker 1: maybe the Bucks for the next team in that division 1175 01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:54,720 Speaker 1: to make a leap and and not toy with the 1176 01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:57,320 Speaker 1: playoffs next year. But get there, um, you want to 1177 01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:02,200 Speaker 1: talk about electric scenes to the meadow lands. Who's kick 1178 01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:04,800 Speaker 1: from Nick Folk falls inside the tan yard line, rolls 1179 01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:06,640 Speaker 1: all the way back into the end zone. That's a 1180 01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:10,600 Speaker 1: loose ball. Who's got it? I think the Jets have 1181 01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:13,479 Speaker 1: a touchdown. Nick Folk kicked it to no man's land 1182 01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:17,560 Speaker 1: and no player for Buffalo went near it. Mike Gilliesley 1183 01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:20,480 Speaker 1: tried to save it, it rolled into the end zone, 1184 01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:23,479 Speaker 1: Doug Middleton jumped on top of it, and the Jets 1185 01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:27,960 Speaker 1: have scored a very odd special teams touchdown with three 1186 01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,080 Speaker 1: go Bob was shoes. In w e PN, the Bills 1187 01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:34,080 Speaker 1: wrapped a week from Hell with a gnarly performance in 1188 01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:36,480 Speaker 1: their season finale. The Jets scored a touchdown on a 1189 01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:38,280 Speaker 1: Nick Folk kick off into the end zone, which you 1190 01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:40,360 Speaker 1: just heard. What else needs to be said? The game 1191 01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:42,760 Speaker 1: was well in hand by that point. The final thirty 1192 01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:44,920 Speaker 1: to ten in favor of the Jets, who finished a 1193 01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:48,840 Speaker 1: disappointing five and eleven in Todd Bowl's second season. Uh. 1194 01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:51,600 Speaker 1: The seven and nine Bills now enter an offseason loaded 1195 01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:56,040 Speaker 1: with uncertainties. One thing we do know, e J Manuel 1196 01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:58,000 Speaker 1: should not be part of their future. He was dreadful 1197 01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,439 Speaker 1: in this game and eventually got yanked in the favor 1198 01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:04,560 Speaker 1: of Cardil Jones. And I don't know if, um, if 1199 01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:07,280 Speaker 1: that was their plan. The whole game very very well 1200 01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:10,200 Speaker 1: might have been, but could easily been for performance issues. 1201 01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:12,960 Speaker 1: We know the background of this by now that Tyrod 1202 01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:17,000 Speaker 1: Taylor got bench for financial reasons. But if you needed 1203 01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:19,960 Speaker 1: any other, uh, look into the soul of e J 1204 01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:22,800 Speaker 1: Manuel the football player. Uh. Not a good look today, 1205 01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:26,880 Speaker 1: missing receivers all over the field. What a disappointing performance 1206 01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:29,680 Speaker 1: for Anthony Lynn too, because this is a guy that 1207 01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:33,680 Speaker 1: twenty four hours ago teams fighting over Anthony Lynn Ken 1208 01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:36,720 Speaker 1: Buffalo even keep him in Buffalo, and I hope they 1209 01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:39,440 Speaker 1: will hold this game against it. Well, it's not you're right, 1210 01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:41,800 Speaker 1: and it's not just that. It's just that hasn't forced 1211 01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:45,520 Speaker 1: to play EJ Manuel. Well, he was, but I still 1212 01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:50,160 Speaker 1: don't say that. This definitely persuades the general manager to 1213 01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:53,640 Speaker 1: get rid of EJ. Manuel. I'll tell you why he's 1214 01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:56,800 Speaker 1: lived through all this stuff already. It's it's ridiculous. Doug 1215 01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:59,160 Speaker 1: Welly's the man that draft d J. Manuel and is 1216 01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:02,040 Speaker 1: somehow still gonna be in charge of choosing who the 1217 01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:04,440 Speaker 1: next head coaches. But you would think this guy has 1218 01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:07,320 Speaker 1: played himself out of town. Well, we'll see. But one 1219 01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:10,640 Speaker 1: thing I don't like what's going on in Buffalo at all. 1220 01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:14,760 Speaker 1: On Saturday, Um, this was a post on dead Spin 1221 01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:17,600 Speaker 1: that I saw that I thought was interesting. The the 1222 01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:20,760 Speaker 1: Bills put out a highlight video, like a two minute 1223 01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:24,520 Speaker 1: highlight reel of their entire season, like a Sizzle Real 1224 01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,800 Speaker 1: type thing, and they went to the pains of keeping 1225 01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:31,840 Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor out of the video entirely. Yeah, so obviously 1226 01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:36,880 Speaker 1: it is a nuclear situation behind the scenes there around 1227 01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:39,720 Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor. What the hell? It's embarrassing, And you wonder 1228 01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:42,280 Speaker 1: who's calling that shot, because how were you not going 1229 01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:44,840 Speaker 1: to be found out? Yeah, it was gonna look bad 1230 01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,560 Speaker 1: no matter what. Very weird. And it came out after 1231 01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:50,600 Speaker 1: the game that both Todd Bowls and Mike mccagnet are 1232 01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:52,960 Speaker 1: safe in New York. I think that's the right call. 1233 01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:55,960 Speaker 1: And I thought because the season was over. Um, it 1234 01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:58,200 Speaker 1: would be good to check in with my old man. 1235 01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:01,400 Speaker 1: Uh Keith Hands is his s thoughts on the end 1236 01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:07,280 Speaker 1: of another uh empty Jet season. His name is Key. 1237 01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:12,320 Speaker 1: He's danced Dad. He'll doubt about it. He's a big 1238 01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:18,040 Speaker 1: Jets fan. What is he going to say? Bill game today? 1239 01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:23,320 Speaker 1: What is he going to Bill game today? Happy New Year? 1240 01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:27,640 Speaker 1: Just win today? Gives him a record of five and eleven. 1241 01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:31,480 Speaker 1: Very disappointing season. I thought we had a lot of 1242 01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:33,840 Speaker 1: high aults going into it. It just didn't work out. 1243 01:04:34,440 --> 01:04:37,680 Speaker 1: One of the key things I felt was the number 1244 01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:40,840 Speaker 1: of injuries that they had, seventy two, which was tops 1245 01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:45,280 Speaker 1: to the league. Um. As far as improvement goes, obviously, 1246 01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:49,040 Speaker 1: they still need to find a quarterback, hopefully they can 1247 01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:50,960 Speaker 1: come up with somebody, and they need to beef up 1248 01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:54,320 Speaker 1: that offensive line to start with those two things. And 1249 01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:58,000 Speaker 1: got up to make a decision on Reevus which way 1250 01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:01,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna go. As far as uh Bold those I 1251 01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:04,760 Speaker 1: think they should give Bold one more chance. If they 1252 01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:08,720 Speaker 1: start off slow or if the team starts flitting, which 1253 01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:11,920 Speaker 1: at times to appear to then he's gotta go. But 1254 01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:16,520 Speaker 1: give him another shot next year and see our roles. Okay, 1255 01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:19,920 Speaker 1: they care, but he's right. A lot of big decisions 1256 01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:21,920 Speaker 1: need to be made, and the offensive line has been 1257 01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,560 Speaker 1: a point that they have. They have not really invested 1258 01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:27,760 Speaker 1: in that line. Uh No first round picks in years 1259 01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:32,160 Speaker 1: and in fact only uh one second round pick years ago. 1260 01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:36,080 Speaker 1: King and Ugly Um I can't even remember his name anymore, 1261 01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:38,000 Speaker 1: but that a draft pick that didn't work out, So 1262 01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:39,760 Speaker 1: they need to invest. I would not be surprised if 1263 01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:42,040 Speaker 1: they go offensive line in the first round. Start building 1264 01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:45,160 Speaker 1: a core. Uh it's a rebuilt King Ugly. I'd like 1265 01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:48,560 Speaker 1: a couple of those guys on my offense. Oh yeah, well, 1266 01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:51,440 Speaker 1: Chan Gailey's out right. It sounds like he's out. Yes, 1267 01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:54,760 Speaker 1: And they want a offensive coordinator who uses a tight 1268 01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:58,400 Speaker 1: end and uses the ground attack more than Jan Gailey did. Yeah, 1269 01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:00,800 Speaker 1: and I think it became kind of a run. It 1270 01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:03,919 Speaker 1: was fine, like Greg Roman, Yeah, I don't know which 1271 01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:07,080 Speaker 1: way they're gonna go, and and Chan Gailey. It's these 1272 01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:09,120 Speaker 1: things always strike me as a little odd because Todd 1273 01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:11,400 Speaker 1: bowls your job is safe, but you need to make changes. 1274 01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:13,240 Speaker 1: So it's like, Okay, what am I gonna do? Alright, 1275 01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:15,720 Speaker 1: I guess I'll follow the OC. You know, they had 1276 01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:18,800 Speaker 1: a top ten offense last year with Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback, 1277 01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:21,920 Speaker 1: nobody was complaining about chan Guilly. Uh. Then he had 1278 01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:23,920 Speaker 1: a bad year, but his the team and I've said 1279 01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:26,680 Speaker 1: it many times, the roster was very poor this season 1280 01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:28,560 Speaker 1: and then they got beat up with injuries. Can I 1281 01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:33,840 Speaker 1: get Mark's opinion on the game's Ultimate Mercenary accusing the 1282 01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:37,200 Speaker 1: Jets of having no loyalty? Oh, it's annoying. It's an 1283 01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:41,320 Speaker 1: annoying subplot for a team that has too many distractions 1284 01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:45,360 Speaker 1: late this season. Darrell Revis, who should be You're bringing 1285 01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:48,240 Speaker 1: Durell Revis back? I thought to be a leader and 1286 01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:50,800 Speaker 1: to be the guy that kind of can remind everyone 1287 01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:52,640 Speaker 1: how important is to play for the Jets and what 1288 01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:56,000 Speaker 1: it means and some of the stuff that came out 1289 01:06:56,080 --> 01:06:58,120 Speaker 1: the quotes, I think it was on Friday, Jets have 1290 01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:02,000 Speaker 1: the show class. It's to me what Jets fans in general. 1291 01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:04,400 Speaker 1: I tweeted something about it, and you hear a lot 1292 01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:06,600 Speaker 1: back from the fan base. When when when you throw 1293 01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:11,000 Speaker 1: someone out there like that, and it was nine Jets 1294 01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:13,440 Speaker 1: fans that had were fed up with Revis. Yeah, it's 1295 01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:16,760 Speaker 1: you know, delusional comments. He has no leverage and he's 1296 01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:20,280 Speaker 1: still active, he has leverage. Let's move on and uh oh, 1297 01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:28,080 Speaker 1: by the way, still still uh no, Christian Hackenburg, what's 1298 01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:30,760 Speaker 1: gonna say? Tom Savage is not the guy for that 1299 01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:34,200 Speaker 1: comment anymore? Right, Let's check in on the Team of 1300 01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:36,960 Speaker 1: a t L. Bradford passes out of it, hats the 1301 01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,440 Speaker 1: ball fire center of the field caught Rudolph at the 1302 01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:47,680 Speaker 1: five fight for for Kyle Rudolph, the twenty nine receiving 1303 01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:51,840 Speaker 1: touchdown of his career, which is a new Minnesota Vikings 1304 01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:55,480 Speaker 1: record for tight ends and at six team zero fights. 1305 01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:58,000 Speaker 1: Paul Allen k F A N with the call the 1306 01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:00,000 Speaker 1: Team of a t L went out on a high 1307 01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:03,760 Speaker 1: I note. Sam Bradford tossed three first half touchdowns, leading 1308 01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:06,440 Speaker 1: the Vikings to a thirty eight ten victory over the 1309 01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:10,680 Speaker 1: Wolfell Bears. The Vikings, who started five and oh finish 1310 01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:18,000 Speaker 1: eight and eight the Bears. Yea, the Bears. It could 1311 01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:19,760 Speaker 1: be worse. You could be the Bears, who finished three 1312 01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:23,559 Speaker 1: and thirteen, their worst record ever since the NFL expanded 1313 01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:26,720 Speaker 1: to a sixteen game schedule in nineteen eight and the 1314 01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:30,000 Speaker 1: most tied for the most losses and franchise history. Mark 1315 01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:36,160 Speaker 1: Bradford set the completion percentage record uh breaking Drew Brees record, 1316 01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:38,760 Speaker 1: stayed healthy and had a solid season overall. Is he 1317 01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:42,599 Speaker 1: the Vikings starter in Week one next September? Completely unknown 1318 01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:44,360 Speaker 1: because you have to find out where you are with 1319 01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:48,600 Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewaters recovery and healthy. Answer the question, yes, you 1320 01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:51,559 Speaker 1: think he is? Yes, I think I think he showed 1321 01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:53,599 Speaker 1: a ton this year. It was easily the best year 1322 01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:56,719 Speaker 1: of his career. And you can say Pat Shermer's dinkin 1323 01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:59,519 Speaker 1: duck offense got him that completion mark, but he was 1324 01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:01,880 Speaker 1: the most accurate quarterback in the NFL this year on 1325 01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:04,719 Speaker 1: intermediate and deep throws. When he was asked to go deep, 1326 01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:07,280 Speaker 1: he did it very efficiently and very well. So you 1327 01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:10,960 Speaker 1: just keep Teddy Bridgewater buried as a backup. Your former 1328 01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:14,400 Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater is ever gonna be Teddy Bridgewater again with 1329 01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:17,800 Speaker 1: the severity of that injury. But regardless, Sam Bradford was 1330 01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:20,960 Speaker 1: better this year than than Bridgewater showed at any point. Well, 1331 01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,120 Speaker 1: I think they were expecting a big leap from Bridgewater 1332 01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:25,960 Speaker 1: number one in this offense. I'm not sure that would 1333 01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:27,960 Speaker 1: have happened with the way things played out, But I 1334 01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:30,799 Speaker 1: would say this that you have to promote competition between 1335 01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:33,439 Speaker 1: those two after the way Bridgewater was lost. That's what 1336 01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:36,000 Speaker 1: I would do as a coach, compath them compete. I 1337 01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:38,000 Speaker 1: don't think there's a clear yes or no right now 1338 01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:41,080 Speaker 1: at all. And you know, I would think the trade 1339 01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:43,080 Speaker 1: would be a failure if you looked at Bradford as 1340 01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:45,040 Speaker 1: a one and done because they gave the first people 1341 01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:46,920 Speaker 1: kind of forget now because it was so crazy what 1342 01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:48,920 Speaker 1: all happened. They have a first round pick to get 1343 01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:51,559 Speaker 1: Bradford too, and you know, maybe it was a kind 1344 01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:53,280 Speaker 1: of a scramble because they had thought they had a 1345 01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:55,280 Speaker 1: Super Bowl contender. Like a lot of people, I think 1346 01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:57,360 Speaker 1: they did think that and it it didn't work out, 1347 01:09:57,439 --> 01:09:59,479 Speaker 1: but he did show enough you would think that he 1348 01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:02,160 Speaker 1: should be on their grid as a long term answer. 1349 01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:04,240 Speaker 1: The only thing I'd say and I and it's easy 1350 01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:06,479 Speaker 1: to look to look back and fear of Vikings going 1351 01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:08,880 Speaker 1: to be agitated with handing away a high pick for 1352 01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:12,960 Speaker 1: a quarterback in that moment, is that if they had 1353 01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:15,880 Speaker 1: gone to and fourteen or something with with Sean Hill 1354 01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:18,960 Speaker 1: under center, jobs are lost and they they you you 1355 01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:23,519 Speaker 1: cannot really convinced teams to keep you around through terrible seasons. 1356 01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:25,800 Speaker 1: We just saw that with Mike McCoy, I think Sam 1357 01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:28,680 Speaker 1: Bradford will He might be an injury risk for the 1358 01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:30,599 Speaker 1: majority of his career, for the rest of his career. 1359 01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:33,160 Speaker 1: But the game film from this year says they found 1360 01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:36,240 Speaker 1: their quarterback. And if that's the case, the first round 1361 01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:39,280 Speaker 1: pick isn't that much to give up. And you know what, Bradford, 1362 01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:41,680 Speaker 1: despite his health this year, has had injury issues. You 1363 01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:44,519 Speaker 1: need to solid backup. Teddy Bridgewater can be the backup 1364 01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:46,679 Speaker 1: of if this is the direction they go, and maybe 1365 01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:48,800 Speaker 1: he gets his opportunity and wins the job. I think 1366 01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:51,000 Speaker 1: it's not it's not the worst situation to be in. Well, 1367 01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:54,080 Speaker 1: I think we know that capable guy. Absolutely. It's not 1368 01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:55,960 Speaker 1: like you're gonna you have to get rid of one 1369 01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:58,920 Speaker 1: of them before next season. No uh. And one note 1370 01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,400 Speaker 1: on the Bears side, who they ended the season. They 1371 01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:03,360 Speaker 1: were being frisky for a bit there in December and 1372 01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:05,240 Speaker 1: then it kind of crumbled in the last couple of games. 1373 01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:09,360 Speaker 1: But rap sheet reported that John Fox his job is safe, 1374 01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:12,679 Speaker 1: as is the jobs of his staff, So it looks 1375 01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:14,479 Speaker 1: like he will be back for a third season and 1376 01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:18,040 Speaker 1: gets a chance to turn around, hopefully for the Bears 1377 01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:21,160 Speaker 1: fans with a young quarterback they can get behind. Yeah, Longe, 1378 01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:23,720 Speaker 1: last thing Matt Barkley really fell apart in the last 1379 01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:26,519 Speaker 1: few weeks, and any sentiment that he was gonna enter 1380 01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:29,679 Speaker 1: next year as the starter be resigned as the starter 1381 01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:32,800 Speaker 1: is out the window entirely. Let's move on to the 1382 01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:35,240 Speaker 1: l A cal Seum. A sparse l A call sum 1383 01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:38,920 Speaker 1: first and fifteen on the thirty four man frost Bar side, 1384 01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:41,559 Speaker 1: it's juckled and picked off by Bethel. He's gonna take 1385 01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:44,360 Speaker 1: it back at the forty, at the thirty, at the twenty, 1386 01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:49,360 Speaker 1: the ten, the five touchdown Cardinals forty three to six. 1387 01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:54,840 Speaker 1: On the pick six Dave passed Katie a r. The 1388 01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:59,479 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals finished strong, obliterating the Rams six in front 1389 01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:02,000 Speaker 1: of approx. Only Three fourteen people at the l A 1390 01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:04,880 Speaker 1: cal Seum. Yeah, but bring another NFL team to l A. 1391 01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:08,280 Speaker 1: Do not bo NFL come back to you. Do not. 1392 01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:12,000 Speaker 1: You waited decades to get this l A situation right. 1393 01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:15,120 Speaker 1: You wanted to get the perfect set up. This is 1394 01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:17,479 Speaker 1: this does not feel right to bring the Chargers into 1395 01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:22,040 Speaker 1: this situation right now with the way they are anyway. Uh. 1396 01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:25,360 Speaker 1: Carson Palmer through three touchdown passes and the Cardinals thrived 1397 01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:29,040 Speaker 1: despite losing David Johnson to a knee injury. Um, we 1398 01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:31,800 Speaker 1: don't know the severity, but they believe is a c 1399 01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,519 Speaker 1: L is intact and it might be a meniscus injury 1400 01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:37,800 Speaker 1: and and that and that's good news. Uh, that's bad news. 1401 01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:40,519 Speaker 1: That's kind of good news. Anyway. That's a sour ending 1402 01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:43,800 Speaker 1: to a brilliant season for David Johnson. Asked for the Rams. Yikes, West, 1403 01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:46,400 Speaker 1: they finished four and twelve. They have no juice whatsoever. 1404 01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:49,360 Speaker 1: And uh, we're hearing those reports of Sean Payton being 1405 01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:52,640 Speaker 1: connected to the team. Yeah. I think if you're if 1406 01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:55,040 Speaker 1: you're a Rams fan, you can look at thirty one 1407 01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:58,479 Speaker 1: teams in the NFL remained pretty competitive to the end 1408 01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:00,240 Speaker 1: where you thought they might be able to upset it team. 1409 01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:02,840 Speaker 1: And then you had Jared Goff's Rams, which gave no 1410 01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:06,880 Speaker 1: threat to anyone. Really just in complete inaptitude on offense. 1411 01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:10,040 Speaker 1: The offensive line got worked over by the Cardinals defensive 1412 01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:13,240 Speaker 1: front today and golf was miserable again. I think if 1413 01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:16,120 Speaker 1: you're a Rams fan, you're looking, okay, guys who were 1414 01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:19,360 Speaker 1: number one overall picks who were this bad for stretches 1415 01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:21,840 Speaker 1: of the rookie seasons were Eli Manning and Alex Smith. 1416 01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:24,160 Speaker 1: You hope that maybe they can turn it around like 1417 01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:27,640 Speaker 1: they did. I the Rams are just they've been a 1418 01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:30,920 Speaker 1: hard watch all year. The best thing that's happened is 1419 01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:32,640 Speaker 1: that the floor has kind of fallen out. And you 1420 01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:36,439 Speaker 1: hope that you get reorganization with a coach that can 1421 01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:40,040 Speaker 1: you actually bringing a staff that develops players on offense 1422 01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:43,240 Speaker 1: to start. You can't toy around with that anymore. And uh, 1423 01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:46,360 Speaker 1: we talked about it on Thursday show. Carson Power was 1424 01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:49,400 Speaker 1: playing better down the stretch. He had another nice game today. 1425 01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:54,280 Speaker 1: I believe Larry Fitzgerald end with the league lead in receptions. 1426 01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:58,320 Speaker 1: And you you you hope that David Johnson, he's right 1427 01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:01,840 Speaker 1: by by training camp. Uh, and they take another shot 1428 01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:04,960 Speaker 1: at this because obviously there's still some there's no juice 1429 01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:07,240 Speaker 1: in l A. There's still some juice in Arizona despite 1430 01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:10,120 Speaker 1: a frustrating seven eight in one season. Yeah, they go 1431 01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:12,720 Speaker 1: seven eight and one, and and if they had a 1432 01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:16,040 Speaker 1: few special teams gaffs go a different different way, they'd 1433 01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:17,840 Speaker 1: be in the playoffs right now. I mean, a more 1434 01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:20,960 Speaker 1: successful kicker probably would have made them. You're you're you're 1435 01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:24,080 Speaker 1: winning maybe ten games with a different kicker. Let's check 1436 01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:27,080 Speaker 1: out with the robot. I'm just curious with the robot. Uh, 1437 01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:32,200 Speaker 1: some computation from the robot. What would happen? Where's the robots? 1438 01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:37,519 Speaker 1: Are you here? Now? We needed to forget it? Forget 1439 01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:44,559 Speaker 1: it anyway, Let's move on to Sunday Night football. Sunday Night, 1440 01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:49,160 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers said that the Green Bay Packers could run 1441 01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:52,320 Speaker 1: the table six weeks ago. That's exactly what they did. 1442 01:14:52,720 --> 01:14:58,519 Speaker 1: Lions rushed four. There it goes Rogers again, looking to 1443 01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:03,479 Speaker 1: the outside again and throwing and it is cart for 1444 01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:08,200 Speaker 1: a touchdown by Geronimo Allison. I mean, you just you 1445 01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:12,160 Speaker 1: can't stop him if he does that. The amazing quarterback 1446 01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:16,120 Speaker 1: through four touchdown passes seven and thirty nine for three 1447 01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:21,320 Speaker 1: hundred yards, no interceptions. Another brilliant performance um by the 1448 01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:24,080 Speaker 1: two time m v P in a thirty one to 1449 01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:31,880 Speaker 1: seventeen win over the Detroit Lions. Um another one one more? 1450 01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:38,760 Speaker 1: Who we triple locked it? Gentlemen, we light up. Yes, 1451 01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:41,799 Speaker 1: we all locked up the Packers that we felt confident 1452 01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:44,080 Speaker 1: that they were going to finish the job. And that's 1453 01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:48,200 Speaker 1: exactly what they did. Uh. The seventeen win where they 1454 01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:50,960 Speaker 1: clearly looked like the better team in this game, and 1455 01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:54,759 Speaker 1: Rogers was simply Chris Wesling, the best player on the field, 1456 01:15:54,880 --> 01:15:57,280 Speaker 1: as he's been for a month and a half now, 1457 01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:01,160 Speaker 1: dragging his team into the playoffs, carrying this team like 1458 01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:03,240 Speaker 1: no other player in the league right now, I believe, 1459 01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:05,920 Speaker 1: and playing at a high level. It was so amazing 1460 01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:08,559 Speaker 1: to see his legs. You know, that's a great sign 1461 01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:10,360 Speaker 1: going into the playoffs. A guy with a calf injury 1462 01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:14,200 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago making plays, extending plays, uh 1463 01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:16,640 Speaker 1: in a way that a lot of quarterbacks just can't do. 1464 01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:24,479 Speaker 1: And it's wait a minute, this, this Sydney bit just 1465 01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:27,640 Speaker 1: grows in its magnificence every week. That's sounding It came 1466 01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:29,680 Speaker 1: out of an l A sound studio. It was. That 1467 01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:34,200 Speaker 1: was Phil Collins on drums. But so impressed, so impressive. 1468 01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:36,959 Speaker 1: We don't have to hear that song again until next September. 1469 01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:40,760 Speaker 1: Hopefully that thing is out of my life of life. 1470 01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:48,479 Speaker 1: Thought they're still gonna have late Sunday games. Well, I'm 1471 01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:53,840 Speaker 1: not gonna appear to use getting the last little shot. 1472 01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:56,479 Speaker 1: And I was gonna say, if if we are, if 1473 01:16:56,520 --> 01:17:00,840 Speaker 1: we're button free for a minute, Sydney um that but well, 1474 01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:03,880 Speaker 1: you gotta press the button make that happen. Uh, it's 1475 01:17:04,080 --> 01:17:06,320 Speaker 1: that the playoff seedings, which we've I think, you know 1476 01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:09,200 Speaker 1: a little bit, we've avoided talking definitively because we needed 1477 01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:17,720 Speaker 1: this game the playoff rob Yes, will amount very not 1478 01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:22,479 Speaker 1: lumbering machine. Yeah, well, I'm gonna go through this quickly. Yes, 1479 01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:25,120 Speaker 1: all right. So in the a f C, obviously the 1480 01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:28,360 Speaker 1: Patriots and Chiefs have sealed up the one and two 1481 01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:31,680 Speaker 1: seed respectively. And then in a game out of the 1482 01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:33,639 Speaker 1: a f C that feels very much has a little 1483 01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:36,679 Speaker 1: West of His flavor to it, the quickly fading Oakland 1484 01:17:36,760 --> 01:17:40,080 Speaker 1: Raiders visiting the Houston Texans, which that feels like an 1485 01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:43,719 Speaker 1: early Saturday game to me. It is the time slots 1486 01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:46,240 Speaker 1: are out, Oh they are. That is Saturday at four 1487 01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:52,320 Speaker 1: thirty pm Eastern time. Well and beautiful so later on Saturday, 1488 01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:55,040 Speaker 1: and this Dan, we went through this during the game, 1489 01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:57,080 Speaker 1: and I think we nailed this right down to the 1490 01:17:57,240 --> 01:18:00,120 Speaker 1: final minute. Uh, late Saturday will be to try right 1491 01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:03,599 Speaker 1: at Seattle. That on Sunday you've get the Miami Dolphins 1492 01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:06,160 Speaker 1: at the Pittsburgh Steelers early, and then the New York 1493 01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:09,720 Speaker 1: Giants visiting the Green Bay Packers. He like manning two 1494 01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:12,240 Speaker 1: and oh against the Packers in the playoffs on Sunday 1495 01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:19,000 Speaker 1: afternoon matchup Winter is here. Well the Giants, Yeah, that 1496 01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:21,800 Speaker 1: will be fun. The last two times we've seen the 1497 01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:25,519 Speaker 1: Giants in Green Bay in the playoffs, they pulled off 1498 01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:29,000 Speaker 1: what people thought to be upsets, including a fifteen and 1499 01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:31,280 Speaker 1: one Packers team, So we get that that will be 1500 01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:33,280 Speaker 1: built up throughout the week. But you know, back to 1501 01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:37,120 Speaker 1: this game. Uh yeah, So Aaron Rodgers again and we're 1502 01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:40,519 Speaker 1: we talked about earlier in the show. Matt Ryan deserves 1503 01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:42,760 Speaker 1: the m v P, but Aaron Rodgers kept his name 1504 01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:45,559 Speaker 1: in what's been a really fun raise this year. Uh 1505 01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:49,160 Speaker 1: forty touchdowns West he finishes with leading the NFL. Uh, 1506 01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:51,599 Speaker 1: like he said, drags the Packers from four and six 1507 01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:55,640 Speaker 1: to ten and six to another NFC North title. And 1508 01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:57,200 Speaker 1: then you look on the other side of the field, 1509 01:18:58,200 --> 01:19:00,760 Speaker 1: and what can you say the Detroit lines. Uh we 1510 01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:02,640 Speaker 1: we saw this when they were nine and four, when 1511 01:19:02,680 --> 01:19:05,760 Speaker 1: you looked at the schedule, Uh they were. They looked 1512 01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:07,800 Speaker 1: a little soft at nine and four, and then when 1513 01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:10,599 Speaker 1: they played some good teams when the game's counted the most, 1514 01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:14,040 Speaker 1: they crumbled each time. And what makes you think things 1515 01:19:14,120 --> 01:19:18,479 Speaker 1: will be any different West in the playoffs. Nothing. They 1516 01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:22,320 Speaker 1: finished with a minus nineteen point differential, which isn't quite 1517 01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:25,559 Speaker 1: as bad as the Houston Texans. But there are middling 1518 01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:29,280 Speaker 1: teams such as the Cincinnati Bengals, uh, the Titans, the Colts, 1519 01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:32,280 Speaker 1: who have much better point differentials than the Detroit Lions. 1520 01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:34,760 Speaker 1: That tells me that they're not nearly as good as 1521 01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:37,800 Speaker 1: their nine and seven records says they are. And I 1522 01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:40,000 Speaker 1: think they're gonna be outclassed in Seattle. And what a 1523 01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:44,200 Speaker 1: difference between hosting the New York Giants in your own 1524 01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:47,280 Speaker 1: building next week had they beaten Green Bay tonight versus 1525 01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:49,800 Speaker 1: going to Seattle next week. I'm not saying this is 1526 01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:53,240 Speaker 1: the Seattle team of recent years necessarily, but I can't 1527 01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:55,720 Speaker 1: think of a tougher place to play in January. Did 1528 01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:57,960 Speaker 1: I say the final score was thirty one seventeen. It's 1529 01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:02,680 Speaker 1: actually thirty because in the final waning seconds Maddie Stafford through. 1530 01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:05,080 Speaker 1: Whether basically was a hail Mary to get it to 1531 01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:10,200 Speaker 1: thirty doesn't matter. Make that minus twelve point differential, then 1532 01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:13,479 Speaker 1: there you go. So the bottom line is the Lions are, 1533 01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:16,559 Speaker 1: you know, sliding into the playoffs and the only reason 1534 01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:20,160 Speaker 1: they're even in the postseasons because the Redskins totally choked 1535 01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:23,760 Speaker 1: against the Giants. Spit the bit, spit the bit in 1536 01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:26,720 Speaker 1: a big spot. So there you go. The the Green 1537 01:20:26,760 --> 01:20:30,679 Speaker 1: Bay Packers flying high into the playoffs and I don't 1538 01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:33,160 Speaker 1: want to face him. Who's the most dangerous team in 1539 01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:36,400 Speaker 1: the playoffs right now? But I'll keep the Cowboys in it. 1540 01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:39,400 Speaker 1: Who's the most dangerous team in the NFC playoffs right now? 1541 01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:41,439 Speaker 1: In terms of who who would you not want to see, 1542 01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:46,120 Speaker 1: especially in their building? Lanna Falcons for me over the Cowboys. 1543 01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:49,439 Speaker 1: I right now, over the course of the season, the Cowboys, 1544 01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:52,160 Speaker 1: but the Falcons are putting up thirty five to fifty 1545 01:20:52,240 --> 01:20:54,879 Speaker 1: points every game. I could make the case for the Packers. 1546 01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:57,799 Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys are right there too. The Falcons 1547 01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:01,000 Speaker 1: defense still worries me. I do you think their offense 1548 01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:03,960 Speaker 1: is an incredible jug or not? But I think you 1549 01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:07,080 Speaker 1: can take them down, pound it out, and make their 1550 01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:11,519 Speaker 1: defense pay. I'm much more excited uh as a football fan, 1551 01:21:11,960 --> 01:21:14,880 Speaker 1: uh by the NFC playoffs. I think there could be 1552 01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:17,240 Speaker 1: some you never know how this plays out. On the 1553 01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:19,800 Speaker 1: a FC side, things can get crazy, but there's some 1554 01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:22,800 Speaker 1: teams that aren't too exciting. UH. In the NFC, there's 1555 01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:27,640 Speaker 1: there's some really deserving teams UH that could could be 1556 01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:30,639 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. And it's at the right time. 1557 01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:33,080 Speaker 1: I mean, we need, whether it's the Packers or the Falcons, 1558 01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:35,040 Speaker 1: and and certainly the Cowboys haven't faded at all, and 1559 01:21:35,040 --> 01:21:37,040 Speaker 1: they're all peaking at the right time. As impressive as 1560 01:21:37,080 --> 01:21:39,400 Speaker 1: the Chiefs and Steelers have been of late, I still 1561 01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:41,680 Speaker 1: can't escape the feeling that the Patriots are such a 1562 01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:45,080 Speaker 1: good team, so well rounded, that they're gonna come out 1563 01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:46,639 Speaker 1: of the a f C. But the NFC, you guys 1564 01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:50,320 Speaker 1: are right riveting playoff football in the NFC this year. Okay. 1565 01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:54,400 Speaker 1: So that is UH the final UH Sunday Night regular 1566 01:21:54,479 --> 01:21:58,439 Speaker 1: season podcast. I'm gonna call it fifteen out of seventeen 1567 01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:01,000 Speaker 1: good shows. I won't I won't say which you just 1568 01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:04,280 Speaker 1: didn't work.
