1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: Ding Dong, it's our numb bird two. Well, the ding 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: Dong would be the quarterback of the Raiders. A dud 3 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,559 Speaker 1: of a game in the late TV window on Monday night, 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: the Chargers led from soup to nuts over the team 5 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: from Vegas. What jumps out to you about the three 6 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,920 Speaker 1: interception performance by Gino Smith and his Raiders' home debut? Also, 7 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: how weird was it to see minority owner and Fox 8 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: broadcaster Tom Brady sitting in the Raiders coaching booth as 9 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 1: Gino Smith drowned on the field. We'll discuss that. And 10 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: on the other side, is this Jim Harbaugh Chargers defense 11 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: the real deal? Can you make that statement after only 12 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,959 Speaker 1: two games of the season? That and more? Right now 13 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: here it is give it up for our number two. 14 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: It's Vegas, Baby, It's all about the Vegas. Welcome. In 15 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show. 16 00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: We are in the air everywhere, Burn baby, burn the 17 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: clock and attempt to peak your curiosity, coast to coast, 18 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 1: border to bort and beyond on the mast and heart 19 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: stoppingly literally as cardiaccidentley heart stoppingly powerful microphones of fs 20 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: are emmundating live from the pursuit the trivial pursuit of 21 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: jock talk from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios, 22 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: as approved by piller Up Phil and he knows.

So our lead this hour as 30 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: we continue our all night coverage of Monday Night football. 31 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: I was told that the marketing campaign was what happens 32 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: in Vegas stays in Vegas, and less it's broadcast on television, 33 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: then other people see it. See that's the problem. And 34 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: that was the problem with the second half of the 35 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: Monday night doubleheader. The first game was not aesthetically pleasing, however, 36 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: the finish was rather dramatic. Tampa Bay, down by five, 37 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: matriculated the ball down the field. Baker Mayfield completed a 38 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: fourth and ten with a fifteen yard run. They got 39 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: down got a rushing touchdown with less than ten seconds 40 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: to go. They won the game. That's exciting what happened 41 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: in the second half. There was just no juice. There 42 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: was no juice there. Now, some of that is a 43 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: credit to the Chargers who played lockdown defense, and they 44 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: also got a couple of touchdowns. If you didn't see 45 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: the game, perhaps you missed it. I don't know what 46 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: you were doing staring at the wall watching some baseball, 47 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 1: watching the fight and Fills beat the Dodgers. That hard 48 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: to believe the Dodger bullpit would screw things up, huh. Anyway, 49 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert passed for two hundred and forty two yards 50 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: and a couple of touchdowns and the Chargers they get 51 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: it done. Twenty to nine. It's like a Hollering James Special. 52 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: Twenty to nine the final over the Raiders on Monday night. 53 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: So the Chargers improved to two and oh, the Raiders 54 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,119 Speaker 1: dropped to one and one. As LA coach Jim Harbaugh 55 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: beating his mortal enemy and his longtime enemy bee a 56 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: Las Vegas coach Pete Carroll. They've been rivals going back 57 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: to the USC Stanford days and then the Seattle Seahawks 58 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: and the forty nine ers, and they've haven't gone against 59 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: each other on the gridiron in over a decade, but 60 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: now they have in just a few hours ago. The 61 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: win goes to the team from LA. The Chargers did 62 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: lose the Mac attack Khalil Mack. Oh my aching elbow. Yeah, well, 63 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor. I can tell you though, that 64 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: the left elbow, it would appear as going to cause 65 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: Khalil Mack to miss an extended period of time. He 66 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: left late in the first quarter and he went to 67 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: the locker room. He did return and he had his 68 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: arm in a sling. It's generally not a good sign. 69 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question what jumps out to 70 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: you about the better story in losing locker room? What 71 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: jumps out to you regarding Geno Smith and his performance 72 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: for the Raiders. Now to put in perspective just how 73 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: bad I can give you the numbers. The numbers tell 74 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: part of the story. Gino Smith completed a little over 75 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: fifty five percent of his passes for one hundred and 76 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: eighty yards. He averaged a little over four yards per 77 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: pass attempt, and was sacked three times. The Raiders had 78 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: it on a fourth down, needing to get the yard 79 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: to gain to keep a drive alive, Keep the game alive, 80 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: and Gino Smith threw the ball away out of bounds. 81 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: Who does that? Gino Smith? He had let me seew 82 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: many touchdowns? He had to see what is less than zero? 83 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: Do we have that? No touchdowns? And not one, not two? 84 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: Three interceptions? And again I didn't play in the NFL, 85 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: so I don't know if I'm qualified. Off to check 86 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: with Ryan Clark, but I think that blows. But it 87 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: was a pirate there, she blows Gino Smith. Wow, all right, 88 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: So that's what it's home debut, home debut and one 89 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: of the only games the Raiders play where there's more 90 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: Raider fans than fans of the other team. They were 91 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: a couple dozen Charger fans, but mostly Raider fans right 92 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: The Raiders stadium famous for the hostile takeover. It is 93 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: a destination situation. Your team goes to Vegas, your fan 94 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: base takes over the Raider fans seats because the season 95 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: ticket holders sell the tickets because they make a killing 96 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: on the secondary mark. Anyway, So what jumps out to 97 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: you about all this. I've got fifty cent family guy 98 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: and Michael Myers. We'll keep it all in entertainment and 99 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: we'll put all those ingredients together. We're gonna make you 100 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: about Ushka's favorite Matza ball soup, is what we're gonna do. 101 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: So number WA, I said, Number W. So, I have 102 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: seen this act for years. I have been to the circus. 103 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: I have seen the circus acts. It is not my 104 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: first dipe. It is not and I chuckle. I also 105 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: was a little upset because I did take the Raiders 106 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: on Benny versus the Penny. If you saw the YouTube 107 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: show this week. I thought the Raiders could at least 108 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 1: keep it close, and they did keep it close. I 109 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: was hoping that Gino Smith would avoid pooping his pants 110 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: in this game, but alias that was not the case. 111 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: But you know he has it in him. And I've 112 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: mentioned this earlier in the show. But going back to 113 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: when Gino played in Seattle, and I would spar with 114 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: no Stradinas, who lives in not no stra Damas. That's 115 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: a I'm a distant relative of no stra Damas, but 116 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: No Stradinis lives in Seattle, and and we would go 117 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: back and forth year and I said, this guy is 118 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: a turky and no he's not. He's good. 119 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 2: You don't know what you're talking about. 120 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: Crying. Craig and all those guys in Seattle and Gino 121 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: Smith is garbage. That's what he is. I like, there's 122 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 1: no other way to say it. I'm not being mean. 123 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: I'm not being mean. He's not a good NFL quarterback, right, 124 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: He's not. And so this idea is something. Fortunately, a 125 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: lot of the Raider fan base is kind of level headed. 126 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: We had Mike from Tucson called up last hour's big 127 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: Raider fan. His kids are giving him a hard time. Dad, 128 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: why you're a Raider fan? We don't want to be 129 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: Rider fan. And he' said, well, you know. He tried 130 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: to explain it to him. But here's the thing, right, 131 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: when you know, you know when something is too good 132 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: to be true, like you just know it. Like like, 133 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: for example, the Raiders haven't had a quarterback. I don't 134 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: count car because he's average. He's not good. Derek Carr 135 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: was not good his average. So the Raiders haven't had 136 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: a top level quarterback since rich Gannon. That's like a 137 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: generation to go. So uh so, when you know, going 138 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: in when something seems too good to be probably, so 139 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: the Raiders went out and acquired a quarterback, a veteran 140 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: quarterback that had started a bunch of games in the 141 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: NFL and the Seattle Seahawks. When you when you break 142 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: it down, the Seattle Seahawks traded Gino Smith their starting 143 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: quarterback there QB number one. They traded traded him, right, 144 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: and then signed Sam Darnold, who also stinks. So what 145 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: does that tell us, right? NFL teams don't trade good quarterbacks. 146 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: They don't. And Gino Smith is not even a jag. 147 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: It's not that JAG's just a guy. He's not that, 148 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: just a not that not just a guy. All right. 149 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: Geno is an EI S type of quarterback. He's an 150 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,719 Speaker 1: enigma in shoulder pads. That's what Geno Smith is, an 151 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: EIS type of quarterback, enigma in shoulder pads. It's the 152 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: Geno cycle, right, this is the Geno cycle. I've seen it. 153 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: We know how this goes. It's like the seasons of 154 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: the year. Right, you go through the different parts of 155 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: the calendar. And you know, if you live in a 156 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: place that actually has different seasons, you know, fall, beautiful 157 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 1: time of the year, and then it gets into the 158 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: nasty winter time and then you have the spring, and 159 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: you go through all the different seasons. Right, So here's 160 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: the Geno cycle. If you're new to the Gino Smith game. 161 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: For six games, Gino Smith will be a top shelf 162 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: NFL quarterback. That's right, top shelf NFL quarterback. For six games, 163 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: Gino will either be elite level quarterback or very very 164 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: good six games. For six games, Gino Smith will be average. 165 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: He will be filler. He'll be just a guy. He'll 166 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: be out there. He won't cost you the game, but 167 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: he's not going to lead you to a victory. For 168 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: six games, the rest of the time, Gino will be 169 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: the worst player you have ever seen. Gino will be 170 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: the kid that tries out for the football team that 171 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: you say, hey, the band's over there. That's Gino Smith, right, 172 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: That's how he is. And Sunday in Vegas, he was 173 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: in the third Monday night, not even Monday night. He 174 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: was in that third category, right, the Raiders first home 175 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 1: look with mostly Raider fans, the first home look there 176 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: on Monday night, their shiny new quarterback. They opened up 177 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: on the road last week, and you could not have 178 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: a worse opening night of your Vegas residency. You could 179 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 1: not have three interceptions. Four years he threw the ball 180 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: away on a fourth down. You gotta keep possession to 181 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: have a chance to win the game. He threw the 182 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: ball out about. You know he did that because he 183 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: I'll throw He was like, oh man, I'm gonna throw 184 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: another interception. We just throw it out about. So it 185 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: was so good. Now, I have been told I don't 186 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: live in Vegas, so some of my guys in Vegas 187 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: can back me up on this. But I've been told 188 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: in the history of Las Vegas, the single worst residency 189 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: in Vegas history was fifty Cent, that it was the 190 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: worst of the worst. I don't know why it was 191 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: the worst of the worst. I've just been told. Of 192 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: all the performers that have gone to Vegas to try 193 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: to entertain people, no one was quite as bad as 194 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: fifty cent, the worst in the history of that city 195 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: that has had just about every two bit entertainer when 196 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: they're washed up, go to Vegas and try to make 197 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: some extra money, right and so Gino like a bad 198 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: street musician or one of those people that shake you 199 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: down on Fremont Street when they're dressed up as Elmo. 200 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: You know, one of those people. So like a bad 201 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 1: magician trying to pull the quarter out and they can't. 202 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: They futs it around and all that stuff behind their ear. 203 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: Gino Smith is not a mystery box. He's not you 204 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: know what's inside. It's not Jack in the box. It's 205 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: Gino in the box. And to quote former Fox Sports 206 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: radio personality for about a month before he got a 207 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: TV job, the late great Dennis Green, who sat just 208 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: down the hall in the old studio and opined about 209 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: the NFL, he is who we thought he was, Gino Smith, 210 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: he was, and it just this is the first inning, 211 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: the first inning of the season. Really is a game 212 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: number two. So buckle up, buccaroo, It's gonna be a 213 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: bumpy ride, bumpity bumpity bumpity bump with Gino Smith. Gino 214 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: Smith is the used car that the Charlatan put a 215 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: fresh coat of paint on, put new upholstery on the seats, 216 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: and looked really good. You're all excited about it. Mass 217 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 1: smells good, looks good. And the second you pull that 218 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: thing onto the freeway, onto the highway, the check engine 219 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 1: light starts flashing like Christmas lights and you're like, holy crap, 220 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: what happened? And so this certainly felt less like a 221 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: debut a home debut for Gino Smith, and more like 222 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: a deja vu, but not the Strip Club for Gino Smith. 223 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: We've been there. Now Pete Carroll. We like Pete Carroll. 224 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: He famously used the Mallard phone when he was coaching 225 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: at USC back in the day, and I've never washed 226 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: the phone since. Of course, I like three phones past 227 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: that at this particular point. But but there's Pete Carroll, 228 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: good old Pete, positive Pete on the sidelines and trying 229 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: to trying to work this out. So here is Pete 230 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: Carroll commenting on his quarterback throwing not one, not two, 231 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: but three interceptions. 232 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 2: Take a liss Three interceptions by the quarterback. That's usually 233 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 2: a non starter. What was the anything that took put 234 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:19,319 Speaker 2: your finger on it. 235 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, he took a couple of shots. You know, 236 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 3: he threw a couple of bombs down there, and one 237 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 3: was on about the two and the other one was 238 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 3: in the end zone, I think, if that's right. Yeah, 239 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 3: the reason that he got there because we had time 240 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 3: to hold the football, so we protected, okay, and we 241 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 3: didn't get the ball thrown underneath. That's that's what I 242 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 3: wish we would have done. I wish we would have 243 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 3: not taken those shots. You know, they looked like, like, 244 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 3: you know, we've had to score quick or something. I 245 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 3: don't feel like that when we plays is the way 246 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 3: that we should ever play. But so we got to 247 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 3: take what's there, and we got to take a look 248 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 3: on the film and I got to see why that 249 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 3: happened like that. I'm just surprised. We haven't looked like 250 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 3: that at all at any time. So it's the first 251 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 3: time that came out. 252 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: Coached him in Seattle. He did the same thing with 253 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. He said, what is that. I love the 254 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: coach saying, well, the reason we throw those interceptions our 255 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:11,479 Speaker 1: offensive line protected the quarterback. That's why we threw those interceptions. 256 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: Who that's great. Let's hear from Geno Smith. I've got 257 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: to hear what Gino has to say. Here's Geno Smith. Gino, 258 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: You've just thrown three interceptions in your Raiders home debut. 259 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: Here's the question. Here the answer this. 260 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 4: Spot decision making, especially the ones where he took shots downfield. 261 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 4: Can you just sort of summarize what took place and 262 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 4: where you were at the you know, in the game, 263 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 4: at the moment and taking those shots, especially the ones 264 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 4: that got picked. 265 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, the first play of the game, the 266 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 5: play that you know we designed. You know, had had 267 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 5: an open guy, let him a little bit too far 268 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 5: up front, ball gets tipped up, gets interception. You know, 269 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 5: a play that you know obviously you want to have 270 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 5: those plays back. 271 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: You can't. 272 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 5: I mean, it's the reality of it. You know, took 273 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 5: a shot to Dante or you know before before the half. 274 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 5: You know, I thought he had a safety on him, 275 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 5: thought he had a shot. You know, I gave him 276 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 5: a chance. Obviously didn't work out in our favor. And 277 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 5: then you know the one to Jacobe, you know, had 278 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 5: a DV with his back turned. They're playing Tampa two. 279 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 5: You know, thought I could fit it in there. Obviously 280 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 5: we need to score seven points in that situation. You know, 281 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 5: a field goal would have helped us, but you know 282 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 5: seven points would have put us in a better position. 283 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 5: Bagus tipped up again. You know, I thought I'd put 284 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 5: it in a decent spot where our guy can make 285 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 5: a play. Bagus tipped up, They make a play on it, 286 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 5: and you know we don't get points. 287 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: That is a forty million dollar quarterback right there. The 288 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: Raiders are paying him forty million dollars to give the 289 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: other team the ball, all right, Moving on from that, 290 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: So page two here the B squad on esp How 291 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: bad were those announcers? Holy crap man Dan Orlofsky. He 292 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: must have photos of people compromising goes. Anyway, the B 293 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: squad there on ESPN showed Tom Brady shadowing chip Kelly. 294 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: The Raiders wrote ton to offensive Cordner, the man that 295 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: saw the light at UCLA and ran away from those 296 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: gutty little bruins. Get me out of here anyway. Chip 297 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: Kelly's now toiling in the NFL. Is the Raiders offensive corner. 298 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: There was Tom Brady sitting in the booth and he 299 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: had a headset on the whole dale, the whole fing 300 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: of a Jake question. How weird was it? How weird 301 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: was it to see the minority owner of the Raiders, 302 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: the Fox broadcaster Tom Brady's sitting in the Raiders coaching 303 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: booth as Gino Smith drowned on television. So this was 304 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: peak surreal sports TV is what this was. It was perfect. 305 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: It was deserving is a word I will use. Tom 306 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: Brady is the GM by proxy. Every man, woman and 307 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: child knows it. Everyone knows this. Tom Brady is the 308 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: GM by proxy with the Raiders. He's got plausible the ability. 309 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: That's what he wants, right. If the team's bad, it's 310 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: not my fault. I'm not the GM. I'm just hanging 311 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: out at the country club drinking cocktails and doing my yoga. 312 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: So he's got plausible belly. He's there in the room, 313 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: he's got the headset on. He's got a bird's eye 314 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: view of what's going on from atop the stadium. Tom 315 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: sitting there, he can literally smell the suck. Yeah, that's 316 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: Raider football, Baby, smell the suck. The commitment to blow 317 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: the Raiders. Now, you cannot wash off the silver and 318 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 1: black goo that Gino Smith put all over the field there. 319 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 1: It was all over everything. And listen, this is to 320 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: be expected. Tom Brady, mister big shot out there. He 321 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: went out and got leftovers. That's not who he wanted. 322 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: It's not who he wanted. It's not Tom Brady wanted 323 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,479 Speaker 1: Ben Johnson. That's not looking very good either, Ben Johnson 324 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: with the Bears, and he got Pete Carroll. Tom Brady 325 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 1: wanted Matthew Stafford to be the Raiders quarterback. He winded 326 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: done Stafford at a Montana resort, treated him like he 327 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: was the king of the world, and Matthew Stafford said 328 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: thanks very much, Tom, I'm not going to play for 329 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: you and went back to the Rams, and so he 330 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: ended up with Gino Smith the consolation prize. Gino Smith. 331 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: That's not team building, that is settling. And Brady, what 332 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: he has done is recreate the twenty three, not twenty nineteen, 333 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,360 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, and I believe the twenty twenty two 334 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. And is that some kind of trailblazer activity. 335 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: It's it's like the family guy cutaway Tom Brady's quagmire 336 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: in the booth. Giggity giggity giggity giggity right, that's Tom Brady, right, 337 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: what have I done? What have I done? 338 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 6: Giggy giggy giget gigeby. 339 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Gino Smith out there sinking in quicksand it's just 340 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: so good. The Raiders can't pick up a first down, 341 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 1: or it's so you can't get a touchdown. They got 342 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: some first downs, but they have a lot of bass hits, 343 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: not any doubles, not any triples out any home Russ 344 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 1: Tom Bradys. They're taking notes like a professor who who 345 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: brought the wrong lecture binder and all that, and oh 346 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: By the way, how the hell did the Patriots lose 347 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 1: the Raiders? All my guys in the in the Northeast, 348 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: what's going on with your team? You lost to that 349 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 1: Raider team, you lost to Gino Smith. If I'm Robert Kraft, 350 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 1: I am throwing up in my mouth that that Patriots 351 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: lost to the Raiders with that combination. Man, it's it's 352 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: Seahawk cosplay from a couple of years ago, and that 353 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: is an indictment on the Patriots. That's a different conversation. 354 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: But thisten tom Brady wants to play genius owner, but 355 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: he wants plausible deniability, and he's got to stank all 356 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: over him. I hope he enjoys that. He's not the 357 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: greatest quarterback of all time anymore. He's a former NFL 358 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: quarterback who's in very poor broadcaster and apparently a very 359 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: terrible GM at the same time. All right, now, final point. 360 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: We go to the winners locker room. Quickly, we go 361 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 1: to the winners locker room. Is this Jim Harbaugh Chargers 362 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: defense the real deal? Are they the real deal? 363 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 3: So? 364 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: I am not sold yet? Okay, I am not sold yet. 365 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: Now the jury is still out. The numbers are stunningly 366 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 1: good for the Charges right now. They handed it to 367 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: Mahomes in Brazil on that Friday NFL opener. The Chiefs offense, however, 368 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: is lacking these spark plugs. They don't have any real playmakers, 369 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 1: and so it's not the same Chiefs of years gone 370 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: by right now. And then you go out and you 371 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: beat Geno Smith and the Raiders police Gino is child's play. 372 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: It's Michael Myers with a NERF knife, is what it is. 373 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: You're not as intimidated off Michael Myers with a NERF knife. 374 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: You think you can take Michael Myers with a Nerf fifer. 375 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: But the Seahawks got rid of him right as we 376 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 1: talked about and all that stuff, and that's all you 377 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: need to know. And so now the Chargers do not 378 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: have the most difficult schedule. They don't play the Ravens, 379 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: they don't play the Bills. But down the line, if 380 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 1: they get to the playoffs, they're gonna have to be 381 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: match up with Josh Allen, and if they can hogtie 382 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, if they can slam the door on Lamar Jackson, 383 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: which both those guys not as good in the playoffs, 384 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: at least Lamar is definitely not as good in the playoffs. 385 00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: But that's when I will start to buy into the 386 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: powder Blue hype. And Justin Herbert, who you know, not 387 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 1: not a fan, you know, not everyone loves this guy. 388 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: I've seen this guy sucking big games for several years now. 389 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: And I like Jim Harbaugh. I'm a fan of hardball. 390 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 1: And certainly they're playing aggressive, crushing people on defense, and 391 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: it's the power hour down at SOFI. They get their 392 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 1: home opener against Coops Broncos next weekend, so that's a 393 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 1: big that's a big turning point game. You win that game, 394 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: you start, you start bearing people in the division, and 395 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: you start opening up some space if you're the Chargers, 396 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: if you can beat the Broncos at home next week, 397 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: and at that point maybe you start saying show me 398 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: your lightning bolt like my old mentor Hacksaw back in 399 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: the day. But until then, eh, yeah, it's a nice 400 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: September story. It's a good September story. Wake me up, though, 401 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: when they do this in December in January, all right, 402 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 1: then then I'll be okay, Yeah, it's legit.

Poppy being only right one out of three 445 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: times will send you straight to the poorhouse. Yes, that 446 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: is a good way for you to go bankrupt, is 447 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: to lose all your money. Scrooge who loves to brag 448 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: that he's in the younger demographic in the audience in 449 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 1: the Bay Area, says my girl asked me, Scrooge said, 450 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 1: if I was going to watch the Raiders game. I 451 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: said no, because the Raiders will probably lose twenty to 452 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: six and Gino Smith will likely throw at least two 453 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: interceptions after the final That's right, the Raiders now after 454 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,479 Speaker 1: the final score, She asked me how I knew that 455 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: would happen. I said, because it's the Raiders, and that's 456 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,439 Speaker 1: what the Raiders do. That is what the Raiders do. 457 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: Who else do we have? Supermarkets? Ste says my man, 458 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,719 Speaker 1: Geno Smith did something very impressive on Monday night. He 459 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: threw three interceptions. None of them were The worst pass 460 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: he threw all night. That fourth down throwaway was pathetically bad, 461 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: and he said supermarket. Seve also says that Danny G 462 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: Radio and Roberto. You haven't checked in on Danny G 463 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 1: Radio and Robert, two of the biggest Raider fans I know. 464 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: Says Danny G Radio and Roberto are frantically checking to 465 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 1: see if their Geno Smith jerseys can be They ordered 466 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 1: back on Monday that hasn't been shipped last Monday and 467 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: hopes they can just outright cancel the order before they 468 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: have to actually send it back. It is a problem. 469 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: Just Josh from since Sinnati writes and says, Gino Smith 470 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 1: plays quarterback like he's flat broke. I think it's a 471 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,199 Speaker 1: geno thing. Let me see what you did. There went 472 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: forty million dollars. That's he got more money from the Raiders. 473 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: Mentioned that the guy stuck. He's stuck in Seattle. You 474 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: trade for him, give him the keys to the franchise. 475 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: You gotta pay him more money. And the guy proved 476 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 1: he can't play. Now the Grill Sergeant writes and says, 477 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 1: eight plus plus plus on the mal monologue. I had 478 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 1: to suffer through the Seattle Gino years. I can count 479 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,479 Speaker 1: on one hand how many times he look like a 480 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: slightly above average quarterback. He blew as a Seattle Sea 481 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: Hawk and will continue to blow as a raider now. 482 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 1: Kenneth points out that it still sounds like rice crispies. 483 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: He says at the feed the ieheart. 484 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 6: Kenneth the only one who's saying that. 485 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 1: All right, anyone who wants to complain, you need to 486 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: know anyone that wants to complain about the quality of 487 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 1: the audio feed on the iHeart app. You can call 488 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: right now at eight seven seven ninety nine.

It might sound like Captain Crunch. Could be 491 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: Captain Crunch. It could be what other great cereals do 492 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: we have here? We cheerios? Nobody likes cheerios, Honey, cheerios 493 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: are not bad. My dad and my dad and he's dead, 494 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: but he loved cheerios.

They're 497 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,239 Speaker 1: changing the dies, right, so they're just gonna look like 498 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: they're not going to be as bright and all that stuff. 499 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 1: Bill's Monster writes in he says, maybe next week they'll 500 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 1: let Tom Brady suit up, call the plays and sell 501 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: concessions at halftime. Don't worry, he says, don't worry, Vegas. 502 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,360 Speaker 1: We'll still find a way to lose by double digits 503 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. They're coaching from the box and now though, 504 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 1: calm down. Somehow the Raiders still managed to look like 505 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 1: the Raiders, truly inspiring proof that even the goat can't 506 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: save a franchise. Well isn't that that that's got to 507 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: be a vote for Belichick, like Tom Brady. Like the 508 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 1: Belichick Brady things already over right, because Belichick went to 509 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: he sucked without Brady and then all that. However, Tom 510 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 1: Brady as a general manager and as a coach, to me, 511 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: that's not a loss on Pete care That's a loss 512 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: on Tom Brady. Do we have that audio? But we 513 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 1: have we have. Here's Pete Carroll commenting on the fact 514 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: that Tom Brady was in the But who was in 515 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: the box? Tom Brady? Listen to Pete Carroll comment on that. No, 516 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: we have it somewhere. We're gonna find it. But Pete 517 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: Carroll was asking to make sure it's the right one. Okay. 518 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 1: We want to play the right one. We believe in 519 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 1: We have high standards here. We want to play the 520 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,360 Speaker 1: right one. Yeah, because I can't you want to play 521 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: the wrong one. The wrong one would be wrong. People 522 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: will be upset if we play the wrong ones. We 523 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: gotta play the right one. But Pete Carroll commenting on 524 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: the fact that Tom Brady, it's it's kind of like 525 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: your boss, who's a busy body. All right, Here's here's 526 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: Pete Carrole let's see what he had to say. 527 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 2: There was a report that Tom Brady meets three times 528 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 2: a week or so with Chip Kelly, goes over a 529 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 2: film with them. We saw him up in the booth 530 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 2: with the with the headset on. I just was curious 531 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 2: you're thoughts on that level of participation with convert. 532 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not it's not accurate. That's not accurate. If 533 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 3: if that's not accurate, we have conversations. I talked to Tom. 534 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 3: Chip talks to Tom regularly. I mean, we have a 535 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 3: tremendous asset and so, uh, you know, and we all 536 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 3: get along well and we respect each other, and so 537 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 3: we just talk, you know, about life and football and 538 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 3: whatever it comes. And uh, and we he has great insight. 539 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 3: So we're lucky to have him as an owner. 540 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: See. The follow up would have been, well, how many 541 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: times do you guys talk? Because Pete Carroll said, no, 542 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: that's not incorrect, that's not correct. We don't talk three times. 543 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: What if they talk five or six times? What if 544 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: it's actually more than that? How about that? Right? We 545 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: have I think we have people calling up to complain 546 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: about the audio feed.

Well, we we had a lot of 647 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: people complaining to me of audio quality. You need some garlic, 648 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,280 Speaker 1: Chris Fowler. That's what his voice satellite actually Chris Vowler 649 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 1: on ESPN. He was doing the play by play and 650 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 1: he clearly had some kind of sinus infection. Vocal situation 651 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: was not sounding particularly. I recommend rob garlic. It looked 652 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: like he had either had laryngitis or he was just 653 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 1: getting laryngitis, and for some reason he had to do 654 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: the game because he only gets to do like one 655 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 1: NFL game a year, and that was the night and 656 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 1: he did not want to miss his one NFL game 657 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 1: a year.

All right, what's that you quick? Right, Mike Harmon, No, 692 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 1: although he did. He's a good pass catcher. He was 693 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:25,800 Speaker 1: on the hallway Panthers a receiver Xavier Leget on Sunday, 694 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 1: first time ever. Here we got here, we got how about? 695 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: That was a fun degree. This is one big gets 696 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: grilled cool book. 697 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 6: The Arizona Cardinals are two and oh after another win 698 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 6: that was closer than it should have been. Kyler Murray 699 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,439 Speaker 6: admitted to the media that if they keep playing around, 700 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:47,239 Speaker 6: they're gonna get bit. 701 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: Ben when do you think they get bit Well, this 702 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,279 Speaker 1: is the worst two and oh team in NFS three. 703 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 1: They beat the Saints and the Carolina Panthers. All right, 704 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: they're frauds. And now they play another suspect team, the 705 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 1: forty nine ers with Mac Jones this week. So they 706 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: could be three and oh and still not good. They 707 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:07,719 Speaker 1: have the softest schedule. They play Seattle and Darnald he 708 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 1: blows the Titan. They are looking at possibly five and 709 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: zero and still not a good team. So I don't 710 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 1: believe him. Next, Drake May. 711 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 6: Was getting nothing but praise from his Patriots teammates after 712 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 6: his three touchdown performance against the Dolphins. 713 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,319 Speaker 1: Ben, do you think May has turned a corner? No. 714 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 1: The fact that Miami has basically quit on their head coach, 715 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 1: and yet the Patriots needed to make some amazing plays 716 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,920 Speaker 1: late in that game to win the game is not 717 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: a great side. The Dolphins had a lead in the 718 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 1: fourth quarter in that game. That is not any particularly. 719 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,799 Speaker 1: I'm not overly impressed with Drake May. He looked very 720 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 1: average to me. Next. 721 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 6: Over the weekend, Salvador Perez of the Royals became just 722 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,319 Speaker 6: the eighth catcher to hit three hundred homers and the 723 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,279 Speaker 6: fifteenth to get one thousand rbi. Ben, do you think 724 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:53,439 Speaker 6: Perez will get into the Hall? 725 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,240 Speaker 1: He's not for me. He's not a Hall of Famer. 726 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 1: He's going to get into the Hall of Fame. Nine 727 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 1: time All Star, five Gold Gloves, World Series, MVP. He's 728 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. I wouldn't put him in, 729 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:04,320 Speaker 1: but he's in the Hall of Fame. 730 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 9: Uh. 731 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,799 Speaker 1: He's got all the accolades. It's a Lifetime Achievement Award. 732 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:13,759 Speaker 1: How do we do? I've got the game, super Dog. 733 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:14,640 Speaker 1: I won the game for
