00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 3: had an epic college football the red.

9
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: River rivalry over the whole times. Red River rivalry, Red

10
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: River Rivalry, Red River rivalry.

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 3: That's really got that well. Oklahoma scored in the last

12
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 3: minute of the game to take it thirty four to thirty.

13
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:38,240

00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,480

Speaker 3: And now is this like red lipstick for Taylor Swift

28
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 3: the Clippers?

29
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: A little bit of both both? Red is my favorite album. Okay,

Speaker 3: some fun. So that's what we always do. The goal

60
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 3: of our show is let's have fun and talk some sports.

61
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 3: So let's dive in with the playoffs, right.

62
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: Divisional rounds kicking out this.

63
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 3: Morning an hour later than expected because they had the

64
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 3: rain delay, but we're gonna start in Baltimore, Baltimore against Texas.

65
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 3: The fact that the Orioles one the Al East, you guys,

66
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: is insane. They were kind of the Cinderella story of

67
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: this season. It's the first time since nineteen ninety five,

68
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 3: because you have to remember the division that they're in.

69
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 3: It's the first time since nineteen ninety five that the

70
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 3: Yankees and the Red Sox missed the playoffs. I think

71
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: most people had Yankees, maybe Blue Jays up there. But

72
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 3: you can pinpoint the day last season when the Orioles

73
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 3: turned their season around, and it was when Adlie Ritchman,

74
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 3: their rookie star, got the call up. They were the

75
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 3: first team in Major League Baseball history to have one

76
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 3: hundred and ten plus lost season and then one hundred

77
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 3: plus win season within three years.

78
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah no, that's crazy.

79
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 3: Like we knew this young team was going to be

80
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: great at one point. I think most people expected maybe

81
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 3: a year or two down the road. But this team

82
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 3: has been having fun all season. They celebrate every hit.

83
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 3: I don't know if you've watched. They have the beer

84
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 3: bong in the in the dugout, they have the bird

85
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 3: bath in the outfield. They do a sprinkler every time

86
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 3: someone gets on base. Like it is a young fun team. However,

87
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: the Rangers, who they are facing right now, were one

88
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: of the best teams in baseball for the first half

89
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 3: of the season, and they had a top three offense

90
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: in the league all season, and new guys are already

91
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 3: stepping up. So far, we've seen Evan Carter in his

92
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 3: first postseason reach base ten out of eleven times. Already,

93
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 3: Corey Seger has been like their star. They've also dealt

94
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 3: with some massive injury issues, both obviously losing both of

95
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 3: their aces this season and Jacob de Gram Max Scherzer,

96
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 3: who might be back.

97
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 2: He is doing throwing live pitching.

98
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 3: But this is the same injury that Justin Verlander had

99
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 3: at the beginning of the season. He missed the first

100
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 3: month and a half and then wasn't really himself until

101
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 3: like his fourth or fifth start. So that's going to

102
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 3: be an interesting call to see if they decide to

103
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 3: bring him back if they make it through.

104
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: To the next round.

105
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 3: But players have stepped up if they can if they

106
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 3: can continue hitting. Right now, Texas is up three to

107
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: one at the top of the six, one out, one on.

108
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 2: At the moment.

109
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, their offense is so good, but this series is

110
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 3: gonna come down to pitching. Both teams have had some

111
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 3: struggles with pitching. Obviously, I just mentioned the two aces

112
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 3: that the Rangers lost throughout the season, but Texas is

113
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 3: Jordan Montgomery showed up insanely big in the wild Card game.

114
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 3: If he can do that again, he's on the mount

115
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 3: tomorrow and Baltimore on the other side too, if their

116
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 3: pitching can show up. I think that's what this series

117
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 3: is going to come down to.

118
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, you make an excellent point. I actually think pitching

119
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 4: is a big topic across the playoffs, you know, for

120
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 4: the rest of the playoffs, not just between them two.

121
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 4: Baltimore to me is the best on paper, They're the

122
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,799
Speaker 4: best team in the AL.

123
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: But baseball is unlike any over over the Astros, I

124
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 2: think so. I think so they.

125
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 4: Don't have the experience though, right, Well, that's a separate right, right, right, Okay,

126
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 4: So I agree with you, and if we were to

127
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 4: talk about experience, then I gave the edge to the Astros,

128
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 4: even though I want to do that.

129
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 2: I don't like the Astros, obviously, nobody doesn't, quesh I

130
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: think that.

131
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 3: I think that's like a common agreement across the entire

132
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 3: league any fan except right, right, But.

133
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 4: Baseball is like so different than every other sport.

134
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: The best team does it always win?

135
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 5: No?

136
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 4: It is about who's feeling themselves at the right time.

137
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: Well, it's also pitching, like you have to have a

138
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 2: solid starter. Correct, you want more than one. No, you

139
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: want more than one, you need two.

140
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 3: You need two great and then a third. Right that

141
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 3: those are going to be like you're you're going to

142
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 3: use three guys basically through every series.

143
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 4: So I feel like they both have holes in pitching

144
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 4: in different spots.

145
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 3: Right, Losing Felix about the STA terrible, but I mean

146
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 3: he's been out for a bit. I still don't understand

147
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 3: why he waited so long to get Tommy Johns.

148
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 2: Maybe they were hoping he didn't have to Maybe they

149
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: were hoping it was something else was It makes but

150
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 2: it makes no sense. Why why hold on to that?

151
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: It makes no sense. So I really do think on paper.

152
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 4: The Baltimore Orioles are the best team, but the Rangers

153
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 4: are feeling themselves in a way where it's like.

154
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: You just you haven't had a break. I don't like breaks.

155
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: I don't like that.

156
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 3: That's something you kind of have that we have to

157
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 3: address in this in this divisional series. Because the one

158
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 3: in the two seed had a five day by right,

159
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: they did not play in the wildcard games, and in

160
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 3: any other sport you'd be like, oh, this is great,

161
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 3: this is amazing.

162
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 2: You need the rest.

163
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 3: However, when it comes to baseball, they're used to playing

164
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 3: every single day, and then your timing gets off. As

165
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 3: a hitter in the boss pitching gets off, like you

166
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 3: lose a little bit of that edge. And we saw

167
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: it last year with the Braves and the Dodgers both

168
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 3: get geting knocked out way earlier than expected.

169
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 4: One thousand percent. So I don't like the break for

170
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 4: the Orioles. And I think this is really the question.

171
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 4: Are the Orioles just a regular season team or are

172
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 4: they also a post season team? That's my question And

173
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 4: I don't know the answer. Well, I no one knows

174
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 4: yet because they have they are fresh. They you know,

175
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 4: this is a new situation for the Orioles.

176
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 3: Like I said, like two seasons ago, so not this

177
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 3: one back they want. They lost one hundred and ten games. Yeah,

178
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 3: that's a really big deal to turn around your franchise

179
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 3: as fast as they did.

180
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 2: But let's move on to the next What do you

181
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 2: think when's who Orioles and Rangers. I'm gonna take the Orioles.

182
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 3: I picked the Orioles originally, and it's hard because like

183
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 3: it's now, I have wild card bias, So in my

184
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 3: bracket that I put together at the start of the postseason,

185
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 3: I picked the Orioles because I love this Cinderella story.

186
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 3: But if Texas hits like they do, like like I said,

187
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 3: they had a top three offense the entire season, I

188
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 3: think it's hard to pick against them. Yeah, okay, let's

189
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 3: move on to the Astros in the Twins, because the

190
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 3: Astros are the most experienced team left in the American

191
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 3: lage right. Since twenty seventeen, they've made the playoffs the

192
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 3: last seven years, six of those winning the AL West.

193
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 3: They've played in six consecutive championship series the next round

194
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 3: and one two World Series.

195
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: Within that time frame.

196
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 3: And this is when experience matters in the playoffs. And

197
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 3: they have their reigning side young winner World Series champ,

198
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 3: who they traded back for at the deadline, Justin Verlander

199
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 3: on the mound going against a pitching in.

200
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 2: His very first playoff game. So this is let's go

201
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: to the other dug out first.

202
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 3: Twins are coming off their first playoff series wins since

203
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 3: two thousand and two, twenty one year yeah.

204
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 2: Legal drinking age. This series is.

205
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 3: Experience versus inexperience, and is this moment going to be

206
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 3: too big for the Twins. The good news is that

207
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 3: they have a guy named Carlos Correa who used to

208
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 3: be on the Astros, and he has the experience and

209
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 3: he's a player that just comes alive in October. He

210
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 3: becomes a completely different player and he's a huge reason

211
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 3: that they won those wild card games, like he had

212
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 3: two insane defensive plays to save the game and RBI

213
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 3: to help them take Game two. But also he is

214
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 3: going to have a huge ship on his shoulder going

215
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 3: back into Houston, right because Astros won the World Series

216
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 3: last year without him and his replacement Jeremy Pania, was

217
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 3: the MVP of the World Series, So you know he's

218
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,479
Speaker 3: going to want to come in, show up, show out.

219
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 3: If the Twins want any chance of stealing a game

220
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 3: in Houston, Carlos Correa has to show up. But Royce

221
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 3: Lewis also has to show up. Who's been a home

222
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 3: run Grand Slam machine for this team. He was the

223
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 3: offense in Game one. He already has two home runs

224
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 3: this postseason. They're gonna have to act like they've been

225
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 3: there before, kind of fake it till you make it

226
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 3: and follow Korea's.

227
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 4: Lead, right, And I don't know if they can. I

228
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 4: don't know if you can beat the Astro.

229
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 2: No, they were built for the postseas.

230
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 4: They were built and like their their offense is really good.

231
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 4: And I just don't know if the Twins' pitching is

232
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 4: going to keep up because their best two starters they're

233
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 4: not starting right now because they use them for the

234
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 4: wildcard series, right and listen.

235
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 2: I think, uh, Pablo is Pablo Lopez?

236
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 4: Right? Hold on, Well I wrote it down. Yeah, Pablo

237
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 4: Lopez for the Twins. He's gonna start game two for them.

238
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 4: Yeah he's good, Yeah, he's good. Right, yeah, but is

239
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 4: it gonna be too late at that point?

240
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 2: Like, I just no.

241
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 3: I think the the lower seeds the goal of these

242
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 3: first two games just steal one, Just steal one. The

243
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 3: series comes back home and then again if you can

244
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 3: just steal one and then it's gonna come down to

245
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 3: that Game five.

246
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 2: I'm rooting for them to steal one. I just don't

247
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 2: know if they can.

248
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 4: The experience is so lopsided it is against the Twins

249
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 4: like it's but again, the best team doesn't always win,

250
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 4: right the best team.

251
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 3: Maybe they're in a groove. Yeah, I just don't believe it.

252
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 3: I see the Astros. I see the Astros winning the

253
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 3: American League and making it.

254
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 2: To the World Series. You see that. That's what I

255
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 2: have and that's what I'm pretty Maybe it's just because

256
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 2: I don't think logically with the Astros. Oh no, no, no.

257
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 3: I had to learn to separate myself right from that

258
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 3: last year when I was covering them winning the World

259
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 3: Series as a Dodger fan, an Angel fan walking on

260
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 3: the field like ya.

261
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 2: Yay, hooray for you, oray for you?

262
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: All right, now on to the National League, because we

263
00:12:54,960 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 3: got a couple divisional matchups here, Braves against the Phillies,

264
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 3: a rematch from last season. We all know how that went.

265
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 3: As the Phillies ended up in the World Series. Braves

266
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 3: were the heavy favorite, but a lot factors into this,

267
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 3: and this goes back to our conversation of the one

268
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 3: and two seed having five days off and just not

269
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 3: being in that same momentum state that the Phillies are in. Like,

270
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 3: Braves are the best team in baseball. They have the

271
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 3: strongest one through nine lineup. They have the two top

272
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 3: MVP favorites, Ronald Acunya Junior making history with the first

273
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 3: ever forty seventy season, Matt Olsen the home run leader.

274
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 3: They have a solid pitching rotation and depth, yep.

275
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 2: But the fight in Phillies.

276
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 3: Have all the momentum coming out of the wild Card.

277
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 3: They are the team to beat and this is what

278
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 3: happened last season. All they have to do is steal

279
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 3: one game in Atlanta and then you come back to Philly.

280
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 2: That Phillies crowd.

281
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 3: Let me tell you, because I covered the NLCS and

282
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 3: the World Series with the Phillies last year, I have

283
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 3: never experienced an entire fan base that is on their

284
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 3: feet from the start of the game to the end,

285
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 3: screaming like not a single cell phone is out.

286
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 2: They are invested.

287
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 3: They are watching and paying attention to every single thing

288
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 3: that goes on.

289
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: Question here is will history repeat itself? Right?

290
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 4: I hate that, especially in baseball. I hate it so much.

291
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 4: Will history repeat itself?

292
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 2: I don't. The Phillies are filling themselves.

293
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned the fan base because it

294
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 4: is different going into Philly. But the fact that they

295
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 4: won't have Zach Wheeler and Aaron Nola to start, yeah,

296
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 4: that's not good for them.

297
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: You're right, Braves are the best.

298
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 4: Like I do updates here right and every time I

299
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 4: would give an update on a Braves win. I was

300
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 4: mentioning a different player that came in clutch. Oh yeah,

301
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 4: that's what was crazy all season. I was like, it's

302
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 4: a different player this time. It wasn't just run on

303
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 4: to Kunya Junior, which not just Matt Olsen. They are

304
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 4: fully one nine one nine nine. And I don't, I

305
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 4: don't know.

306
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 2: I don't.

307
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 4: It's such a close one because I don't think Phillies

308
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 4: are gonna go down.

309
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 2: Without a big fight.

310
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, but again, no Zach Wheeler for the first game

311
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 4: or Aaron Nola for the second game.

312
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 2: You know they're gonna come there. They'll be there. But like,

313
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 2: is the rest, the five days rest gonna be I

314
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 2: think the Phillies are hot. They are hot. Phillies are hot.

315
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 3: Okay, let's get to our final NL divisional series. It's

316
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 3: the NLS matchup Dodgers against the d Backs. Yeah, it's

317
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 3: the last game tonight. Dodgers are clearly the better team.

318
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 3: They have a stronger offense with the other two NL

319
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 3: MVP favorites in Mookie Bats and Freddie Freeman. And the

320
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 3: regular season series against the Dodgers, it was eight and

321
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 3: five in the Dodgers' favor and the Dodgers outscored the

322
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 3: d Backs seventy two to forty seven. This is also

323
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 3: a rematch from the twenty seventeen NLDS where the Dodgers

324
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 3: swept the d Backs. So the question here is how

325
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 3: do the d Backs make this a series. I think

326
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 3: they need to create chaos. They have some young stars

327
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 3: in the National League, the Rookie the Year favorite in

328
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 3: Corby and Carroll, but they don't have the experience.

329
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 4: They don't have the experience and I know we're up

330
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 4: against the clock on them, so I'm going to say

331
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 4: it quickly. Okay, at the end of the season, the

332
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 4: Diamondbacks offense was gone.

333
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 2: I don't know where they're batting, and one.

334
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 4: You could have put it on a milk carton against

335
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 4: the Brewers, they woke up, they woke up, They created

336
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 4: chaos against It was it was a small ball.

337
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 3: They just got the ball in play. They were taking

338
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 3: advantage of every opportunity. And that's they need to create

339
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 3: chaos against the Dodgers if they want a chance to

340
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 3: win a game.

341
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 4: And I hate to say this, but they can because

342
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 4: the pitching staff for the Dodgers is not great.

343
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 2: It's not great. They've had a lot of issues.

344
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 4: There's no secrets between them. They play each other, they

345
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 4: all the time, they know each other. They know, there's

346
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 4: no secrets. I don't like this matchup because I think

347
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 4: the Diamondbacks are feeling themselves.

348
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 3: Corbin Carroll, They're like, so our rookie said, I'll give

349
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 3: them their props. You know, they're a great team, just

350
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 3: a great lineup, good pitching. But you know, we've played

351
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 3: them all year. We know what they are, we know

352
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 3: what they're not. They're not scared.

353
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 2: You know what, I wouldn't count us out. They're not scared.

354
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 2: They're not scared of Kershaw. No, they are not scared.

355
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 2: I know, I don't like it. I know this is

356
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 2: gonna be a fun one. We're gonna take it.

357

Speaker 3: We are broadcasting live from the tyreck dot Com Studios

393
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:09,719
Speaker 3: in Los Angeles. What a day already College football MLB playoffs.

394
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 3: But tomorrow let's talk about the game of the weekend,

395
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 3: Cowboys at forty nine Ers Sunday Night Football.

396
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 2: Now, first we have to acknowledge the history here.

397
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 3: Okay, back, Yeah, the last two years, the forty nine

398
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 3: Ers have knocked the Cowboys out of the playoffs. Two

399
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 3: years ago it was in the wildcard round with that

400
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 3: weird play where there was fourteen seconds on the clock,

401
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 3: dak Rand to spike the ball, didn't spike it in time,

402
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 3: and the game ended on the spike.

403
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 2: It was devastating and brutal.

404
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 3: Last year, Cowboys beat the Bucks in the wildcard then

405
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 3: lost to the forty nine Ers in the Divisional round.

406
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 2: Now this one was closer.

407
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 3: There was not a clock mismanagement situation, but they were

408
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 3: neck and neck going into the fourth and it was

409
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 3: It was a pretty good game. So this is their

410
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 3: first their first meetup of this season and leading up

411
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 3: to the game, we heard Jerry Jones give his thoughts

412
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 3: on the forty nine ers.

413
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 9: They are right now probably the most likely team to

414
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 9: go in Super Bowl, but in order for them to

415
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 9: get there, they've got to go by us, hopefully two

416
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 9: times if that's where it falls in the playoffs, and

417
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 9: we're in the playoffs. But the bottom line is that

418
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 9: you're playing the best. This is certainly you don't need

419
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 9: the game to tell you that you're playing the best,

420
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 9: but you need the game to show you how you

421
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 9: stack up. Gives the best.

422
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think these are two of the top five

423
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 3: teams in the NFC. But let's look at the two

424
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 3: starting quarterbacks, right, because both of these quarterbacks were underdrafted,

425
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 3: and I think it's going to come down to who

426
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 3: do you trust more and who has the better performance tomorrow.

427
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 3: Let's start with brock perty Right has not lost a

428
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 3: game that he has started and finished healthy. He is dependable,

429
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 3: he is accurate, as I mentioned, in games he's finished.

430
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 3: He is eleven and zero this season, first in passer

431
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 3: rating five touchdowns, zero interceptions, and third in completion percentage.

432
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 3: He is the perfect plug and play distributor for Kyle

433
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 3: Shanahan's offense. He doesn't need to be fancy, doesn't need

434
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 3: to be flashy. He just needs to be accurate and

435
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 3: get the ball to his star weapons. Because there's a

436
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 3: ton You got McCaffrey, who's in the MVP conversation, Kittle

437
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 3: who's been lights out, Debo and Nyuk.

438
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 2: Now let's go to the other side. Okay, we got Dak.

439
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 3: The question is what Dak are we going to get

440
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 3: on Sunday This season, He's thirteenth in passer ratings, four touchdowns,

441
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 3: win interception, tied for fourth with Tua in completion percentage.

442
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 3: He's having a good season, but the Cowboys are very

443
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 3: reliant on Dak, and I think this will be the

444
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 3: game where they really miss Trayvon Diggs.

445
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 2: This is it.

446
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 3: I mean, the Cowboys have had such an elite defense

447
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 3: right that they haven't had to rely as much on Dak.

448
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you.

449
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 4: I actually think the real test is on Dak over

450
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 4: Brock party Y. Rock just needs to be Brock. You

451
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 4: don't have to do anything. You literally have to just

452
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 4: do what you've been doing. You don't have anything to

453
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 4: prove to me.

454
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 2: Dak. You have to step up. You yourself.

455
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 4: Like you mentioned, which dac are we gonna get Ye,

456
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 4: that's the big question, but it's on him.

457
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 2: You have to step up. I agree that not having.

458
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 4: Trayvon Diggs is a big, a big missing piece for

459
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 4: the for the Cowboys because to me, the Cowboys defense

460
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 4: and the forty nine ers defense are the same but different.

461
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 4: Like they're both very good, I right, like the forty

462
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 4: nine ers to me, I don't know if this is

463
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 4: the best way to explain it, but this is how

464
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 4: I was thinking it. They play on technique, right, well,

465
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 4: the Cowboys defense plays on emotion. This is what I mean.

466
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,719
Speaker 4: Trayvon Diggs would be the type of player anticipates a

467
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 4: play and might leave his man. He anticipates a play

468
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 4: and he might get the interception, and you let him

469
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 4: do that because you just let him do that, Michael

470
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 4: Parsons kind of like.

471
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 2: You put him wherever you want. He is going to

472
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 2: be audible, be.

473
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 4: Incredible, and react on what he sees in front of him. Well,

474
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 4: the forty nine Ers they are going to stick to technique. Yeah,

475
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 4: and they're gonna follow kind of.

476
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 2: The rules of the game. You get what I'm saying, Well,

477
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,959
Speaker 2: that's what they do Kyle Shanahan is exactly.

478
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 3: It's like everything is perfectly planned exactly why brock Perty

479
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 3: is a plug and play, accurate and perfect quarterback for

480
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 3: his system. But this is going to be the first

481
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 3: big test for DAK. Their first three wins have been

482
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 3: against lower of the league teams Jets, Giants, Patriots. Now

483
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 3: they're facing a high power offense with so many options

484
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 3: and star power. As I mentioned McCaffrey, Kittle, Debo Ayuk,

485
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 3: it is going to be It's gonna be a fun one.

486
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 4: The other player that I think then needs to step

487
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 4: up or maybe not step up, but I'm just curious.

488
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 4: Tony Pollard. Yeah, this is where he broke his leg

489
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 4: at Levi Stadium last season. He also kind of has

490
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 4: to come in there and be tough. And I'm looking

491
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 4: I'm so excited.

492
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: About this is going to be an emotional game for

493
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 2: all around.

494
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,919

Speaker 3: Listening to Fox Sports Saturday Alex Curry alongside Monty Bilanios.

534
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 3: We are broadcasting live from the Tyreck dot Com Studios

535
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 3: in Los Angeles and with the NBA season upon USOP,

536
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 3: I am excited to ring on the host of the Lakers.

537
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 2: One of my first friends in the industry, Chris.

538
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 3: Geeter McGee gee, thank you so much for joining us.

539
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 3: La Familia, La Familia Always. We met when we were

540
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 3: doing Angels ni Ya. My first year with Angels get

541
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 3: is as good as they come.

542
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 11: All Right.

543
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 3: You were with Lebron media Day a couple days ago.

544
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 3: We heard this week Lebron calling Ad the face of

545
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 3: the franchise.

546
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,239
Speaker 2: So I have a couple questions here with that.

547
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 3: One First, is Ad ready for that responsibility and that role?

548
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 3: And secondly, is Lebron ready to give up that role?

549
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 5: Alex, Let's not be crazy. When you and I were

550
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 5: doing podcasts together, you're always the face of the podcast, right,

551
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 5: Lebron James, until he leaves this league, is always going

552
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 5: to be one of the faces of the league, and

553
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 5: he's going to be the lead of the franchise. But

554
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 5: I get what he's saying, and he's basically saying, listen,

555
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 5: I'm going to be thirty nine. Ad is in prime

556
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 5: right now and it's time for him to leave this

557
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 5: franchise on and off the court. Yeah, I think he

558
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 5: is up for that challenge. It's interesting you asked that.

559
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 5: I think it's a great question. Like I think in

560
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 5: the past few years we've said like, oh, it's Ad,

561
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 5: it's Ad time and adds. But he's always kind of

562
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 5: played the back seat until last year's playoffs when he

563
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 5: merged again as one of the best players in the

564
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 5: league and kind of had to remind everybody. I honestly,

565
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 5: Alex haven't seen him this focused or driven since that

566
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 5: first year he came in training camp twenty nineteen. This

567
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 5: looks like the ad from twenty nineteen. I think he's

568
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 5: going to have a fantastic year.

569
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 4: Hey, Peter, thanks for joining us on this Saturday. So

570
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 4: a lot of teams in the NBA have gotten.

571
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 2: Better, like everyone's just getting better.

572
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 4: What do you think the Lakers' biggest weaknesses going into

573
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 4: the season?

574
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 5: Ooh, damn, that's a good question. I haven't thought too

575
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 5: much about that yet, but I'll say this because I

576
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 5: really do think that that's something that you know once

577
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 5: I get through training camp in a couple of games,

578
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 5: and usually going into the year, I do have a

579
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 5: great idea of what it's going to be. But they

580
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 5: like have depth, they have the length. Last year, I

581
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 5: would have told you the lack of wings, but now

582
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 5: they have wings everywhere, so I'll give you the low

583
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 5: hanging fruit. I still think it's going to be shooting,

584
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 5: even though they got much better, because they have to

585
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 5: prove it. So until they show us that they're a

586
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 5: top ten three point shooting team in the league or

587
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 5: top fifteen. You don't have to be top ten, but

588
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 5: you're in that top half, then I'll be a believer.

589
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 5: But I do think that they direct that and I

590
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 5: think they have shooters on the roster they really do. Honestly, guys,

591
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 5: this is the best roster they've had since since twenty nineteen.

592
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 5: I'm not trying to I mean, Alex knows, I'm Lakers

593
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 5: out of the womb. I grew up in the Showtime era,

594
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 5: which kind of tells you how old I am. I

595
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 5: don't want to give you a but we always do

596
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 5: hype up our teams. But honestly, like looking at it,

597
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 5: it's the best roster we've had because they have filled

598
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 5: those areas where they really lacked, and I think they've

599
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 5: filled them correctly. But but like I said, you got

600
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 5: to show it right. Yeah, you know, and listen, guys,

601
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 5: they got to return to be in a top ten

602
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 5: pe six and if they do that, because they have

603
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 5: the capability to do that, if they do that at

604
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 5: then they'll be right there at the end with a chance.

605
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 2: Okay, let's stay on this hypechain. Deeep kay.

606
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 3: Looking at the West, Lakers did a great job of

607
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 3: keeping their team together right and signing their guys this off.

608
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 3: He's in Austin Reeves obviously a big one ex sending

609
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 3: a d A. Is this a championship contending team? And

610
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 3: where do they rank in the West compared to the

611
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 3: reigning champ Denver Nuggets Sons with Bradley Beal and a

612
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 3: healthy Kevin Durant and Booker?

613
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 2: Where do you see this Lakers team?

614
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 5: God, you guys did your homework. I will say I

615
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 5: will say that I call them contenders. And I have

616
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 5: about five or six teams in the West that I

617
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 5: would call that because they're all super good. Like they

618
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 5: already mentioned the Suns and the Nuggets. Listen, Nuggets are

619
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 5: top dogs. Yeah, so they reserve that right. But listen,

620
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 5: I also throw the Clippers in there. They're healthy. You know,

621
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 5: you've got to always respect the Golden State Warriors, Memphis

622
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 5: teams on the rise, like Minnesota, you know, Luca over

623
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 5: at Dallas, teams like that. So I put the Lakers

624
00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 5: in that top four contender right now because you hit

625
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 5: it on the head. Because they were able to bring

626
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 5: back the core that made that magical run and key

627
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 5: signings around those guys like Gabe Vincent was a huge

628
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 5: pickup Torrian Prince Christian Wood for almost nothing. Guys like that,

629
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 5: I think fits with the styles they want and fit

630
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 5: with your superstars. You remember, guys in the league. It's

631
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 5: like you need pieces that fit the puzzle, pieces that

632
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 5: fit your stars. You don't need three or four superstars.

633
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 5: It doesn't work. But if you have two and then

634
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 5: you have all those complimentary players and guys that can

635
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 5: play roles and don't leave the ball every second and

636
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,239
Speaker 5: make winning plays, then you're good. And the Lakers have that.

637
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 9: They have that.

638
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 5: Now, now they got to stay healthy and go do it.

639
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 5: But they have it all right.

640
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 4: Speaking about players understanding their roles, take off your Laker

641
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 4: hat for a second and put on just a GM hat.

642
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 2: What do you do with James Harden? Apparently the Rockets

643
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 2: are going to offer him when he wanted until he said,

644
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 2: I want.

645
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 4: To be the scoring champ again, and they're like, oh

646
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 4: my goodness, are you hello hello?

647
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 5: But it's so funny you say that. We were just

648
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 5: talking about this the other day and I listen, I

649
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 5: don't want to be our shadow. Want to be that

650
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 5: guy that says, oh, I don't want James Harden. But

651
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 5: here's the truth of the matter. No team that's contending

652
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 5: in that top group is going to give up great

653
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 5: role players for a guy like James Harden because he's

654
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 5: not going to win you the title. I just don't think,

655
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 5: look at scoring champion, that's not what you want to hear.

656
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 5: I want to hear. I'm going to make the plays.

657
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 5: I'm going to fit into a team to win. It's

658
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 5: not about scoring champion anymore. Like listen, James Harden is

659
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 5: a first ballot fall of Seelan. He's one of the

660
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 5: greatest scorers this game's ever seen. You don't need to

661
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 5: be the leading scorer. I think a team with him

662
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 5: as the leading scorer isn't winning, so I think he

663
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 5: needs to be So that's what I just can't imagine

664
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 5: people giving up the farm or giving up valuable picks

665
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 5: or valuable pieces to match that contract. I don't see it.

666
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 5: I'm telling you, guys, I just don't.

667
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 3: And do you really want a guy that has want

668
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 3: to move three different teams in four years. But let's

669
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 3: stay in the East here, because a huge blockbuster trade

670
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 3: went down last week that sent Damian Lillard to the

671
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 3: to the Bucks and Drew Holiday ultimately to Boston.

672
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 2: What are your expectation for these teams.

673
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 5: I think they're the top two in the East, and

674
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 5: I don't think anybody's close yet. I don't want to.

675
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 5: I don't want to throw dirt on the Philadelphia seventy

676
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 5: six ers with Joel and b just yet. But it's

677
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 5: going to be it's going to be an uphill battle

678
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 5: for the teams like the Knicks and the Cavs, and

679
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 5: I think those good teams in the East. And listen, also,

680
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 5: I respect Miami and what they're able to do, and

681
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 5: so I have them in the top four. But I

682
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 5: just say on paper until I see it, like you

683
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 5: got to think it's Bucks and you got to think

684
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 5: it's Celtics, because I think both teams address some needs.

685
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 5: And here's the deal, Like the Bucks are going to

686
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 5: be crazy offensively, but what does that look like Dame

687
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 5: at his age and Dames get put in every pick

688
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 5: and series. And I think Boston is the one that

689
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 5: made the smart move getting the guys like Drew Holiday,

690
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 5: who doesn't need the ball let Brown and Tatum do

691
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 5: the thing. But he's the best perimeter defender out there

692
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 5: and he's a champion I think Boston made a great

693
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 5: move that kind of sliding under the radar because James

694
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 5: the sexier move, right, So I think it's those two

695
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 5: for sure.

696
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 3: These Now you mentioned Miami, what did you think of

697
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 3: Emo Jimmy Butler at media Day.

698
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: On any level?

699
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the fact that, like what you know, last

700
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 5: year was the dread So when they're in the finals

701
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 5: and they're in those Eastern Coffee Finals in its National

702
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 5: Games and they're using the grab bigness.

703
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 2: That's what everybody uses for every podcast.

704
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 5: That's the one. So for me, like like the fact

705
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 5: that we're going to see that throughout the year just

706
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 5: makes me happy, makes me happy.

707
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 2: I know he was in his feelings.

708
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 4: He was great feelings and seeking of Jimmy and being

709
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 4: a bit of a troll that video that came out.

710
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 4: He's like, you should look into the bucks about you know.

711
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,080

755
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 4: I'm guessing Phillies fans we wanted to remain anonymous.

756
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 3: About forty five hundred dollars worth of beer for an

757
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,479
Speaker 3: entire section at the Phillies wild Card game.

758
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 2: I mean, and then we're talking about the Phillies. It's

759
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 2: like a culture. That's a thing.

760
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 3: Oh, these these fans are hammered before they come into

761
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 3: the game.

762
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 2: Tap. That is their love language. Yeah, you buy an

763
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:54,040

00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 10: Hero.

765
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:55,919
Speaker 2: I love that hero.

766
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,479
Speaker 4: I'm gonna one day, Yes, when I have that type

00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 4: out to bond. Westbrook went to Vegas, Baker Mayfield went

774
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 4: to the Bahamas.

775
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 2: Like, this is what you should be doing.

776
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 4: That is the dude, bond with your teammates, build a relationship.

777
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 2: Like I'm so into that. And this comes on the heels.

778
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 4: I don't think we're talking about Marshall Lynch right, we're

Speaker 3: You don't need to brag about it and brag about it.

787
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,040

796
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 3: just hanging with the fans in the crowd. He said,

797
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 3: it was great. I kept my sunglasses on and the

798
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 3: hat I tried to blend in each inning.

799
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,279

Speaker 3: Cousins and Twins fans.

805
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 4: He's also so lucky that, like you put him in

806
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 4: a cap, glasses and a regular team, A normal guy.

807
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 2: I love that old dad vibes.

808
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 4: All right, I got it, I got a don't okay,

809
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 4: so bit I do not tell me that Lebron James

810
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 4: is going to be at a game. Don't tell me

811
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 4: Taylor Swift is going to be aut a game.

812
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 2: Why don't we do this? We were told I think.

813
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 4: It was an aeskrim percent Like, why are you telling

814
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 4: me that he's going to be at an ACES game,

815
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 4: a WNBA championship game.

816
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,720
Speaker 2: Don't tell me that it's to bring fans. No, because

817
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:03,720
Speaker 2: this is what's gonna happen.

818
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 4: People now are gonna go and not people that are

819
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 4: actually fans of the Aces in the w NBA Championship.

820
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 3: I mean you're getting people in the door. No, you're

821
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 3: getting you're getting I went to.

822
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 4: An Aces game and it was a sold out game.

823
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 2: They don't know Lebro. They're the rating champs. Don't say that.

824
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 4: I think it brings people or like people are gonna

825
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 4: sell their tickets at a ridiculous price just because somebody

826
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 4: wants to come see Lebron. Don't tell us that he'll

827
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 4: be there and put him on the screen.

828
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 2: Don't tell me he's gonna be at a game. That

829
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 2: is stupid.

830
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 3: I think it's great. We need celebrities a game, especially

831
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 3: a w NBA game. So I'm not mad about that.

832
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna say that's a do That is a

833
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 3: tell us. No, we differ on here, Okay, I gotta

834
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 3: do for you. Do have roommates Rob Purty, so he

835
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 3: still lives with a roommate and splits rent, lives with

836
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 3: an offensive lineman, someone who protects him now both on

837
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 3: the field and apparently off the field.

838
00:38:58,800 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 2: He's living that simple life.

839
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 3: He's still makes I think around like eight hundred and

840
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 3: seventy thousand he could afford to live alone.

841
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 2: He's twenty three years old. But nope, he loves to

842
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 2: live with a roommate. I mean, I don't blame him.

843
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 2: Kevin's comedy. Yeah, I know, I get that. It's like

844
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 2: sleepovers every night.

845
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 4: I mean I got another don't for you, Okay, don't

846
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 4: rush the field, talk smack and expect the opposing player

847
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:21,439
Speaker 4: to take the high road.

848
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 2: Do you hear about this ole miss and LSU? So

849
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 2: LSU lost an ole Miss player rush. Everybody's rushing the field.

850
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 4: He's on his phone and he's screaming, and he bumps

851
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,879
Speaker 4: into an LSU player and screams, and the LSU player

852
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 4: shows him. And I'm yes, don't do that, because why

853
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 4: does the LSU player or any player it rolls, Why

854
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 4: does that player have to take the high road because

855
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 4: you're being obnoxious.

856
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 2: You already won, and you're already rushing the field because

857
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,120

Speaker 3: And because I'm an ass he's not a field, he's

861
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 3: not on the field, you're getting a prime opportunity.

914
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 3: this last hour for you. We have NFL Network Cynthia

915
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 3: Freeland joining us at the bottom of the hour, will

916
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 3: continue to keep you updated on all the college football

917
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 3: highlights and the baseball highlights as they happen. And we

918
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 3: are officially one month into the NFL season and we

919
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 3: have nine teams who only have one win. So, Mancy,

920
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 3: we're going to do a confidence meter. Okay, are you

921
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 3: very confident, somewhat confident, or not confident at all that

922
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 3: these teams can turn their season around.

923
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 2: So let's start with the Bengals.

924
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 3: Okay, currently in last place in the AFC North. Joe

925
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 3: Burrow is still playing injured. Okay, you gotta remember this.

926
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 3: You got injured in the preseason, during training or during

927
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 3: training camp before the preseason and has just been playing

928
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 3: every game, not one hundred percent.

929
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 2: This is technical.

930
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 3: Technically he is off the injury report this week. But

931
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 3: this is what happened when he tweaked his calf in

932
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 3: Week two, and calfs are tricky. If they lose a

933
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 3: couple more games, you have to strongly consider sitting Joe

934
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 3: Burrow and let him get one hundred percent healthy. I

935
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 3: know it's not what you want to hear because the

936
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 3: Bengals have been in that Super Bowl conversation the last

937
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 3: few years, but you got to take care of your

938
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 3: main man, who you just gave the biggest NFL content

939
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 3: tracked in the history of the game. And who knows,

940
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 3: you may get a high draft pick if a team

941
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 3: doesn't do well build that offensive line, possibly another wide receiver,

942
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 3: because you know they have Jamar Chase and t Higgins

943
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 3: who are going to be up next season, and I

944
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 3: don't know if they're going to be able to keep both.

945
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna say the Bengals, I am somewhat confident.

946
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, impossible to not want to say right that you're

947
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 4: confident because of it's the Bengals and it's Joe Burrow.

948
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 2: But man, he does not look good. He's injured. He

949
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:30,720
Speaker 2: looks injured.

950
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 4: Y looks it's like and I can only that frustration

951
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 4: is building.

952
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 2: The fact that Jamar Chase just after last. I'm open.

953
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 2: I'm always I'm always open. Like that is frustration that

954
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,800
Speaker 2: is continue him to build. He is not himself.

955
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 3: He cannot do the things that he can normally do,

956
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,280
Speaker 3: but they are too I can't move, you can't move.

957
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 2: The way he should because he is playing injured.

958
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I hate it, but I'm with you that, Like

959
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,879
Speaker 4: I'm not ready to say no confidence yet.

960
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not ready, but I think I'm thinking with

961
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 2: my heart. So you're gonna do what you're Are you

962
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 2: somewhat confident? Are you? Like very confident?

963
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 4: I am somewhat confident, but I still think I'm thinking

964
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 4: with my heart there.

965
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 2: I think the answer is we should not be. But

966
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 2: I know somewhat somewhat because of who they are, what

967
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 2: they've done.

968
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 5: Yep.

969
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, let's move to the AFC East and the Jets. Okay.

970
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,240
Speaker 2: They lost the face of the franchise at Aaron Rodgers. Okay.

971
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 3: It's nice to hear that he's spending five hours a

972
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 3: day rehabbing, doing a lot of outside things to come

973
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:29,320
Speaker 3: back faster.

974
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 2: He's saying all the right things.

975
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 3: Zach Wilson also looked pretty good last Sunday against the Chiefs.

976
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 3: Stats were better than Mahomes, but Mahomes had probably one

977
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 3: of his worst games that he's had. But it's hard

978
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 3: because their whole season was built around Aaron Rodgers. And

979
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 3: if Zach Wilson can't consistently perform like he did on

980
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 3: Sunday last week, ugh, I am not confident in the Jets.

981
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 3: Can have another good performance, maybe this weekend against Denver

982
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 3: against one of the worst defenses in the league, then

983
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,800
Speaker 3: we can have a different conversation of where my confidence

984
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 3: level is at.

985
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 2: But I am not confident with the Jets. So you know,

986
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 2: it's funny. Out of the nine, I have.

987
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 4: The most confidence in the Jets, I do. I think

988
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 4: they can sneak in and get that last Walkart spot.

989
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:21,439
Speaker 4: If you look at their schedule, yeah, they could win seven.

990
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 2: Games that are left in their schedule, maybe even eight

991
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 2: if you look at it with Zack Wilson. Yeah, with

992
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 2: Zack Wilson. And I mean again, maybe I'm thinking with

993
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:31,280
Speaker 2: my heart here, but definitely defense.

994
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 4: Defense wins games, right, And so I've mentioned all Zach

995
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 4: has to do is just manage the game.

996
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 2: We have seen.

997
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 4: I mean, like Joe Flacco took the Ravens to a

998
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 4: Super Bowl Joe Flacco, who's nothing. He's not a top

999
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 4: anything ten quarterback. You know what I'm saying, Like it's happened,

1000
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 4: defense wins games. The reason I have confidence in them

1001
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 4: is because at this Chiefs game, I saw that they

1002
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,760
Speaker 4: still believe in Zach Wilson. After he fumbled that snap,

1003
00:46:58,239 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 4: they looked over to the sideline. It looked like Zach

1004
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 4: Colson was gonna cry. He felt like it was his fault,

1005
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:06,320
Speaker 4: and you saw everybody kind of it's okay, dude.

1006
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 3: You have to because if he loses that belief and

1007
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 3: that doubt, you're out.

1008
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 2: Well, there's a team that we're gonna talk about that.

1009
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 4: I think their belief is out and that's why I

1010
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 4: think that's a big part of why I think I

1011
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 4: have the most confidence in this team to still be

1012
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 4: able to do something.

1013
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 2: They still believe in him, and you're right, that's what

1014
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 2: you have to do.

1015
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, But there's some teams that I think their belief

1016
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 4: is out the window, and once that happens, you're screwed.

1017
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 2: Let's talk about that team.

1018
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 3: I think if we're talking about the same team, the

1019
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 3: AFC West, the Denver Broncos.

1020
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 4: No, I was not talking about them, but okay, yeah, time,

1021
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 4: but okay, okay, right, let's go.

1022
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 2: Let's go.

1023
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 3: It's who the Jets are facing this weekend, so nice

1024
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 3: little back to back.

1025
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 2: I'm somewhat confident in the Broncos.

1026
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 3: It's weird to like, once you get the numbers in

1027
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 3: front of your face, to realize that Russell Wilson is

1028
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 3: not playing bad.

1029
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 2: I know he is one of the best first half quarterbacks.

1030
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 3: He's got the best passer rating in the first half,

1031
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 3: six touchdowns with zero interceptions in the first half, and

1032
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,439
Speaker 3: best completion percentage in the first half.

1033
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 2: Now the whole game put it all together.

1034
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 3: Third in passer rating, he's nine touchdown, two interceptions, and

1035
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 3: sixteenth in completion percentage. So again, it's a tale of

1036
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,479
Speaker 3: two quarterbacks in the first and the second half.

1037
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 2: But it's going to come down to their defense. Can

1038
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 2: they get it together.

1039
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 3: They're last in points allowed, last in yards allowed. That

1040
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 3: fifty point loss, so the Dolphins really screwed the whole

1041
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 3: team there.

1042
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 2: But it's.

1043
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 3: It's if they can figure out, if Russell Wills can

1044
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 3: figure out how to be that first half quarterback through

1045
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 3: the entire game, I would be somewhat confident.

1046
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 2: I am with you.

1047
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 4: I think I'm somewhat confident. I haven't completely given up

1048
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,320
Speaker 4: from the beginning. I was like, there's moments where.

1049
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:56,479
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson looks good. Yeah, but there.

1050
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,399
Speaker 4: Are other parts on that team that they're still figuring out.

1051
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 4: Could they figure it out on time?

1052
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 2: That is the question.

1053
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 4: So I'm with you, somewhat confident just because we're only

1054
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 4: in week five.

1055
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1056
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 4: Now if this was you know, week eight, I don't know.

1057
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,360
Speaker 4: But because it's only week five, I have not lost

1058
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 4: all confidence.

1059
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 3: Okay in the Broncos. Okay, let's move on to the Vikings.

1060
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:22,320
Speaker 3: I'm confident. I mean I think I think I'm blinded.

1061
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 3: I think so blinded by Kirk Cousin You're not the

1062
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 3: only one, and the Netflix series and just his dedication

1063
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 3: and what he does.

1064
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 2: But when you have Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson, you

1065
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:34,879
Speaker 2: have to have some hope.

1066
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1067
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 3: Right. This team went on a seven game winning streak

1068
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:39,879
Speaker 3: last season, and I hate it's a different team. It's

1069
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 3: a different year, but with their schedule, it can really

1070
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:46,280
Speaker 3: go either way. They have a couple of tough ones

1071
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 3: coming up, but then the schedule gets gets lighter.

1072
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 2: Yet it's not gonna be easy. Chiefs this weekend. That's

1073
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 2: going to be tough.

1074
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 3: Bears following they should win that one forty nine Ers

1075
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 3: after that, it's going to be tough. But then it

1076
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:58,840
Speaker 3: gets a little lighter. Yeah, I'm feeling confident in the

1077
00:49:58,920 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 3: Vikings on.

1078
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 4: They're probably not gonna win the NFC North because it's

1079
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 4: probably Dan Campbell is.

1080
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 2: Not gonna let the Lion. No, no, no, Lions.

1081
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,919
Speaker 3: They're looking great. Packers are also, they're two and two,

1082
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 3: but they're not.

1083
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 4: I don't believe in the Packers, to be honest with you,

1084
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:13,840
Speaker 4: I think that's it's a very like I don't know

1085
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 4: which Packers team I'm gonna get.

1086
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 2: So I'm with you. I think the Vikings should feel confident.

1087
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 2: I think they can. They can sneak in there, honestly. Yeah,

1088
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 2: in the I thinking there, Yeah, yeah, okay, I'm into it.

1089
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:26,319
Speaker 2: All right, I'm into it.

1090
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 3: Let's move to the Patriots. I'm somewhat confident in the Patriots.

1091
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 3: You're shaking your head at me. I went back and

1092
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 3: forth between like somewhat and not confident.

1093
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:39,840
Speaker 2: Sure.

1094
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 3: I mean their one win came against the Jets. It

1095
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 3: was not a dominant win, and I mean Bill Belichick

1096
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 3: will go down as one of the greatest coaches of

1097
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 3: our generation. Right has not been the same since Tom

1098
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 3: Brady left the season. Their defense is tenth in yards allowed,

1099
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 3: twenty first in points allowed, the offense is thirtieth in

1100
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 3: point per game, in nineteenth in yards per game, and

1101
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,319
Speaker 3: mac Jones is not having a great season. As I'm

1102
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:07,319
Speaker 3: saying this out loud, it's like, why do you have

1103
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 3: any confidents? And then Alex mac Jones not having a

1104
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 3: great season twenty third and completion percentage twenty fifth and

1105
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 3: passer rating. They just got an offensive coordinator for mac

1106
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 3: Jones this year, but we're getting reports that him and

1107
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 3: Bill mac Jones and Bill Belichick are just not on

1108
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 3: the same page.

1109
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 2: And it looks that way.

1110
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 4: And this is strictly like an eye test watching mac

1111
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 4: Jones watching the Patriots.

1112
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 2: It doesn't look pretty at all. They have nothing, you

1113
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 2: know how, I'm like, maybe I changed, Maybe I changed.

1114
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 3: Because as I literally just like as I was saying

1115
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 3: it out loud, I'm like, Curry, what are you doing?

1116
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 2: You're not You're not confident in the Patriots.

1117
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 3: But it's hard because Bill Belichick is such a legendary

1118
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 3: coach and you think, but when you're not jelling with

1119
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 3: your quarterback and you don't and you can't figure it out,

1120
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 3: and it's just been it hasn't looked good on or.

1121
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 2: Off the field.

1122
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,800
Speaker 3: I mean they were like off season reports that he

1123
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 3: was upset when Mac was going outside of the program

1124
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 3: to get some quarterback training.

1125
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:10,800
Speaker 2: Like, it's just not it's not closed.

1126
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 4: And I have not seen, like I just have been saying,

1127
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson has these moments that I see, I have

1128
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 4: not seen a moment for the Patriots.

1129
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 2: Game with Mac Jones, with.

1130
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 4: Mac Johnskay, you're gonna say, like, I haven't.

1131
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 2: Seen it, y'all.

1132
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, So that's why I don't. I don't have confidence.

1133
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,359
Speaker 4: And I hate that because you're right, No Belichick, how

1134
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 4: you know when you have a coach like that, you

1135
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 4: always have confidence.

1136
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 2: I don't.

1137
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 3: Okay, let's move on to the Bears coming off a

1138
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 3: fun first win. I think it was a big morale booster.

1139
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 3: I'm happy for Justin Fields and Bears fans. It means

1140
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 3: a lot to them. But they had lost fourteen straight

1141
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:55,439
Speaker 3: games going back to last season until until that win.

1142
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 3: I don't think this means the Bears are back, but

1143
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 3: we did get a glimpse of what Justine in Fields

1144
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:03,799
Speaker 3: can be and that is where my little bit of

1145
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 3: confidence comes from. So I'm gonna say I am somewhat

1146
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 3: confident in the Bears.

1147
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 2: No, I think they have a lot of work to do. Oh, definitely,

1148
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 2: they have a lot of work to do.

1149
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:19,839
Speaker 4: So like, I don't have much confidence. I know Justin

1150
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 4: I'm happy for them and that when they needed it.

1151
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 2: I just I think it, yeah, was a one off win.

1152
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 2: Like I don't, I don't have confidence. Okay, Okay, then sorry,

1153
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 2: our last three.

1154
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna flat out say I do not have

1155
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 3: confidence in our last three. So let's uh, let's breeze

1156
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 3: through these guys.

1157
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:40,320
Speaker 2: The Raiders.

1158
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've had a history of dysfunction. Not a good

1159
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 3: look seeing their owner Mark Davis yelling at fans.

1160
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Jimmy.

1161
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 3: G reportedly is cleared protocol concussion protocol to play Monday night.

1162
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 2: But I just I don't feel confident.

1163
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 4: It seems like a toxic work environment, right, There's just

1164
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 4: too many, too many.

1165
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 2: Ways we can talk about Josh Jacobs, the contract issues

1166
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 2: going into the season.

1167
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 4: Chandler Jones, Like, it just seems like a toxic work environment.

1168
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't think, Yeah, No, I'm with you. No,

1169
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 2: Giants not confident. I was talking about.

1170
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:15,359
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones is not the guy. Danny had one good year,

1171
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 3: he got his money. Now it's a visual, it's a

1172
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 3: visible issue. It is a it is a visible issue.

1173
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 3: And then you have Saquon Barkley who's questionable. They're playing

1174
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 3: the Dolphins this week, who got embarrassed in Buffalo, so

1175
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 3: you know they're due for a comeback game.

1176
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is not it for the Giants. Daniel Jones,

1177
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 2: like I understand, I don't know what it's like to

1178
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 2: be offered all of this money, but yeah, you should

1179
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,280
Speaker 2: have liked take the money and run. But no, you

1180
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 2: you you take a little less. Tom Brady was never

1181
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:46,760
Speaker 2: the highest paid quarterback. Never, you take a little less.

1182
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 3: Daniel yourself, Daniel Jones is never going to get this

1183
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:50,479
Speaker 3: kind of money again.

1184
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 2: But I'm not asking you that. You you say no,

1185
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:54,880
Speaker 2: But Tom Brady knows he's the best. He was to go.

1186
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,800
Speaker 3: He also had a wife who was making millions, hundreds

1187
00:54:58,840 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 3: of millions.

1188
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 2: Of dollars more than so we had the luxury of

1189
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 2: not having to.

1190
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,439
Speaker 4: Try assess yourself and say, if I take a little less,

1191
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:06,840
Speaker 4: maybe you can put other weapons around me. But this

1192
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 4: is what I was talking about, where their their belief

1193
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 4: is gone. Brian Dable, the way he looked at.

1194
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 2: Him on the side, thrown an iPad on the sideline.

1195
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:19,280
Speaker 4: That that right there is the problem. There's no faith,

1196
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 4: there's no belief.

1197
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:23,359
Speaker 2: Not bad. You see it for Zach Wilson, for Brian

1198
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,839
Speaker 2: Dable and Daniel Jones. I don't see it. I don't either.

1199
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: Bad.

1200
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:29,320
Speaker 2: It's bad news, bad news bears our last one Cardinals.

1201
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 3: Not confident. You don't have your franchise quarterback. We don't

1202
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:34,760
Speaker 3: know when Kyler Murray's coming back. Plus when he was healthy,

1203
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 3: things weren't great in the building anyway. And you also

1204
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 3: have the best college football quarterback, Caleb Williams saying he

1205
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 3: would not enter the draft if you had the first pick.

1206
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 4: So can we say confident for the future? Maybe not

1207
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:48,280
Speaker 4: for this season.

1208
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:51,280
Speaker 2: They have been competitive, nobody expected them to do anyway.

1209
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 2: You're like, you're semi confident.

1210
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 4: No, not for this season, But could I say like

1211
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 4: for the future, Like like as a franchise, nobody expected

1212
00:55:58,040 --> 00:55:59,800
Speaker 4: you to do anything without Kyler Murray and you have

1213
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 4: been competitive through the.

1214
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 2: First four weeks. Good for you, Okay, so you're shut

1215
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 2: what you're somewhat confident the question what do you do

1216
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 2: with Kyler Murray? Who you play when he comes back? Oh? No, him,

1217
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:15,360
Speaker 2: I don't know. Oh no, obviously he's not a.

1218
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:18,280
Speaker 3: Has not been a good fit in relationship in Arizona.

1219
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 9: Right.

1220
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:20,800
Speaker 4: So I just think that there's that they have something

1221
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:22,760
Speaker 4: to look forward to in the future, not for this season.

1222
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 4: That's all.

1223
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:24,360
Speaker 2: I think they've been competitive.

1224
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 3: I mean, she's that I don't know. You literally have

1225
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 3: the number one, like projected number one draft pick saying

1226
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 3: he ain't he ain't entering the draft if the Cardinals

1227
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 3: have the first pick, and that is dagger to the heart.

1228
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna take a quick break here.

1229

00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 3: when he went to Club Shaysha talking about his old

1246
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 3: teammate Russell Wilson and how he didn't have Russell Wilson's

1247
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 3: number and he just thought of him as a quarterback.

1248
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 2: Let's listen to this sound I.

1249
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 12: Have with Pete And then I mean, you know, Russ

1250
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 12: was like, there's a quarterback for me, right, I mean, there's.

1251
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 1: Y'all didn't have a relationship outside of football.

1252
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 12: No, there's no can't pick up the phone and call

1253
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 12: oh boy or none? And then I mean, you know.

1254
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 11: What you mean, you couldn't pick up the phone.

1255
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 5: I don't got a number.

1256
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 11: Oh oh well, but you would, I mean, but you

1257
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 11: can't for sure.

1258
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 3: That wasn't the only time, like This is just very

1259
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 3: interesting insight into Russell Wilson.

1260
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, because we've.

1261
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 3: We've we've now heard a lot of different things post

1262
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 3: his Seattle Seahawks' tenure. Now in the in that whole interview,

1263
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:32,919
Speaker 3: Marshn wanted to reach out to Russ after a tough game,

1264
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:35,880
Speaker 3: right He asked Seahawks media person for his number, then

1265
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 3: got a miscall from a blocked number. He was told

1266
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 3: it was Russ calling him from a block number. Didn't

1267
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 3: want him to have his number, and then as Marshawn's

1268
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 3: talking to him, he didn't want to hear anything he

1269
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 3: was saying. All he was trying to be like, I'm

1270
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 3: here for you after a tough game, after I hope

1271
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 3: you'd be there for me. Message was not received, and

1272
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:55,919
Speaker 3: he said the breaking point was at practice when Pete

1273
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 3: Carroll pulled him aside. He said, he took him in

1274
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 3: the Kumbayau room. They had like a kum By outram

1275
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 3: and he told him directly, do not talk to Russ.

1276
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 3: If you have something you want to tell Russ, you

1277
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 3: have to tell me. And at that moment that was

1278
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 3: his disconnect from his entire team in Seattle. I don't

1279
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 3: blame him no, being a quarterback, you were not only

1280
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 3: the leader of that team. You were supposed to connect,

1281
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 3: you were supposed to bring people together. Clearly, it's not

1282
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 3: working for us or his teammates. Wasn't in Seattle and

1283
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 3: now we're we were hearing it last year in Denver.

1284
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 2: We saw it on the sidelines.

1285
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 3: We've heard now a lot of former teammates in Seattle

1286
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 3: come out about this. Sean Payton's quotes like stop kissing babies,

1287
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 3: you're not running for office. Russ also has an actual

1288
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 3: office by the coaches, not where the players are. Just

1289
00:59:56,240 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 3: it's weird because it feels it feels it's like he

1290
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 3: is playing the role of a quarterback, what he believes

1291
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 3: a quarterback should be doing, but he's not actually like there.

1292
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 3: He put up an invisible wall between him and the

1293
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 3: rest of the team. I don't know if it's because

1294
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 3: his wife Sierra is like a pop star icon and

1295
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 3: he's now adopted that way of life, but that's not

1296
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 3: that's not what a team sport is not at all.

1297
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 3: You have Once you're on that field, you were all equals.

1298
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 3: You are all fighting for each other, you are all

1299
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 3: protecting each other, you were all working as one cohesive unit.

1300
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:38,960
Speaker 3: And if your main guy, your leader of your franchise,

1301
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:42,720
Speaker 3: you're a quarterback, cannot connect with the rest of the team,

1302
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 3: there are going to be issues like such a poser

1303
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 3: is what? Yeah, pretending pretending to be something.

1304
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 4: And it's like the fact you know Marshawn Lynch is

1305
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 4: who he is. There's no reason for him to say this. No,

1306
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 4: Like we know who the way exactly, so it's like

1307
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:02,919
Speaker 4: coming from him, it even adds more credibility to it

1308
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 4: versus somebody else saying it right. And when I heard this,

1309
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:10,919
Speaker 4: I was just like, what, bro, you are the quarterback

1310
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 4: to your team, Baker, maybe I'll talk it team.

1311
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 2: To the Bahamas, try and bond. Yeah, And I'm not

1312
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 2: asking you to be best friends, that's not it.

1313
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 4: No, But this isn't like there's those talk shows where

1314
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:23,840
Speaker 4: Undisputed where you don't like each other and you argue

1315
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 4: you can't have that type of relationship on a team.

1316
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 3: No, you can't do that, especially a team where it

1317
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 3: is a complete team effort. As a baseball's an individual

1318
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 3: sport played in a team atmosphere correct fit individual. Yes,

1319
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 3: football you are one hundred dependent on every single position

1320
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 3: on that field.

1321
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 2: And you want to be in sync. Like, how what

1322
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 2: are you talking about? You didn't want your teammate to

1323
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 2: have your number? You called from a block number. How

1324
01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:56,880
Speaker 2: embarrassing is this?

1325
01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 3: Marshaun also said, like the whole team was hanging out

1326
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 3: at that point, Yeah, at his house, because that's what

1327
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 3: you do, you bring everyone together.

1328
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:06,720
Speaker 2: And he just wasn't that guy. I never wanted to

1329
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:10,160
Speaker 2: be that guy. I don't have anything against Russell Wilson.

1330
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 4: I'm not a Seahawks fan, but I do have a

1331
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 4: very close friend who's a big Seahawks fan, and she

1332
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 4: loves Russell Wilson. And it's like, man, it's like a

1333
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 4: clouded idea of who you think this guy is.

1334
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's something anybody. I don't think any of

1335
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 2: us know. You won't let anybody in. He won't. But

1336
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 2: it's like, dude, what do you But we know they're

1337
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:28,560
Speaker 2: going to struggle. But we know he's doing lunges on

1338
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:33,200
Speaker 2: the plane. We know that much. Yeah, he's a poser.

1339
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 2: I don't like that. Yeah, I don't know. We don't know.

1340
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 3: All we know are these stories that we're hearing from

1341
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 3: former teammates.

1342

Speaker 10: from a block number.

1351
01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:05,320

1357
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 11: You would think that he would. You'd think he'd have

1358
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:20,200
Speaker 11: two phones, right deep. You think he'd have two phones,

1359
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 11: one for work and then one for you.

1360

Speaker 10: see him on Sunday versus Titans and with.

1396
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:01,960
Speaker 1: The NFL lessening the rules.

1397
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:05,600
Speaker 10: For the gambling suspensions, Jamison Williams, former Alabama receiver current

1398
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 10: Detroy Lyon, we will be back in the lineup on Sunday,

1400
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:14,600
Speaker 1: Back to you guys, Thank you Martin.

1401
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:17,080
Speaker 3: You're listening to Fox Sports Saturday with Alex Curry and

1402
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 3: Moncy Billanios. We are broadcasting live from tyreck dot Com

Speaker 3: Studios in Los Angeles, and our next guest is one

1404
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 3: of the smartest sports minds on TV. She's the NFL

1405
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 3: Networks analytics expert.

1406
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:34,040
Speaker 2: And my best friend Cynthia Freelan is back with us.

1407
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:36,920
Speaker 13: You need to reorder that. You need to reorder that

1408
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 13: you got yes, and then and also then my title, yes, reorder.

1409
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:45,439
Speaker 3: That Gordie's mom my best friend, the smartest sports mind

1410
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:49,320
Speaker 3: on TV. I love it done. Now, Cynthia, you were

1411
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 3: high on the Bills day one of the season. You

1412
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 3: spent the entire preseason with them. You were one of

1413
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 3: the few who took them last week against the Dolphins.

1414
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 3: How did you see this Bill team's earn their season

1415
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:02,840
Speaker 3: round after that opening loss to the Jets.

1416
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:06,120
Speaker 13: Well, the opening loss was a little weird because we

1417
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:08,560
Speaker 13: saw Josh Allen. I mean, look, we know Josh Allen

1418
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 13: has a tendency to sometimes turn the ball over, however,

1419
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 13: usually not three times and not to the same person,

1420
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 13: and then a fourth time with the fumble, Like, that's

1421
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:18,720
Speaker 13: just a little bit weird. So that was kind of

1422
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 13: a wonky game. But then in the weeks that followed,

1423
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 13: we thought the next week they just used short passes.

1424
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:27,400
Speaker 13: It was the shortest air yards for attempt ever in

1425
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:30,560
Speaker 13: his career. And then the week after that they opened

1426
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:33,480
Speaker 13: it back up with deep passes. So it kind of

1427
01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 13: was like, Okay, this didn't go well week one, let's

1428
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 13: rite the ship. And then let's also as our run

1429
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:41,240
Speaker 13: games getting stronger, and James Cook is the first I

1430
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 13: think what your le Sean McCoy works with you guys, right,

1431
01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 13: so since since Pushan McCoy, that's the last time we've

1432
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:50,520
Speaker 13: had a Bill's rusher that's rush for over fifty yards again,

1433
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 13: wow on average. So yeah, so it's it's finally a

1434
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 13: little bit of run game and opportunity there for the

1435
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:57,520
Speaker 13: play action.

1436
01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:58,280
Speaker 5: Pass to develop.

1437
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 13: So those things all kind of take together, and then

1438
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 13: letting Josh Allen do Josh Allen things, but this year

1439
01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 13: he's not throwing on the run as much as we've

1440
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:07,320
Speaker 13: seen in years prior.

1441
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 4: Hey, Cynthia, thanks for joining us again, appreciate it. Let's

1442
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:14,080
Speaker 4: start about the AFC South. Everybody's two and two, but

1443
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:17,720
Speaker 4: the Colts have officially signed Jonathan Taylor to an extension.

1444
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:22,240
Speaker 2: Is that gonna be the what they needed.

1445
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 4: Essentially to kind of pull away from everybody else?

1446
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's interesting because the AFT South, like we I

1447
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 13: guess ahead of the season, we all thought it was

1448
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 13: the Jags for the taking, and then they need a

1449
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 13: tights at an outside pants right, and now it's very

1450
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 13: confusing what's going on there. But I think Jonathan Taylor

1451
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:43,720
Speaker 13: will help. I really like Anthony Richardson as well. That's

1452
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:45,960
Speaker 13: not really where the problem for the Colts is, right,

1453
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:48,120
Speaker 13: So we saw the Colts defense give up a bunch

1454
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:50,840
Speaker 13: of yards and touchdowns early in games, and then it's

1455
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:53,560
Speaker 13: like their offense fights back. So I'm not sure if

1456
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 13: Jonathan Taylor, who hasn't played in over two hundred and

1457
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:58,800
Speaker 13: ninety days, especially out of the gate this week, will

1458
01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 13: be the difference maker against the Titans. And the Titans

1459
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 13: have this like huge disparity. They're very good stopping the

1460
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:06,360
Speaker 13: runs and they're not so good against the past, and

1461
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:08,840
Speaker 13: by not so going to be like really bad against

1462
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 13: the past. So it doesn't seem like in this particular matchup,

1463
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 13: Jonathan Taylor's gonna be the thing that puts them.

1464
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:15,880
Speaker 5: Over the top.

1465
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:18,559
Speaker 13: But if they win this game, it'll be because Anthony

1466
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:21,960
Speaker 13: Richardson will have connected with his receivers like Michael Pittman,

1467
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 13: who should totally play for fantasy.

1468
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:26,840
Speaker 3: You're listening to Fox Sports Saturday with Alex Curry Monci Bolanos.

1469
01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 3: We are talking to NFL Network Cynthia Freelan and Cynthia

1470
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:32,960
Speaker 3: The game of the week Cowboys at.

1471
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:35,639
Speaker 2: Forty nine Ers Sunday Night Football. Who are you taking

1472
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 2: and why?

1473
01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:39,120
Speaker 13: So I'm taking the Niners in this one. I know

1474
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:42,000
Speaker 13: it feels like like we talk about this like fictitious

1475
01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:44,800
Speaker 13: momentum thing like this feels like the Cowboys Super Bowl

1476
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 13: blah blah blah, like we've heard all this talk. However,

1477
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:50,800
Speaker 13: I'm looking at the Cowboys deficiencies and I'm saying, Wow,

1478
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:53,880
Speaker 13: these line up really well with where the Niners are

1479
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 13: actually really good. So if you look at the back

1480
01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 13: middle of their defense, that's like an area where like

1481
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:02,320
Speaker 13: the linebacker level, you've seen some runs, like you've seen

1482
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:05,880
Speaker 13: teams gash them. I mean the Cardinals beat them because

1483
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 13: they had almost five yards per attempt of the running

1484
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 13: back outs to run before any contact was even made.

1485
01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:14,800
Speaker 13: So there's some areas where they have deficiencies, and you

1486
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:17,080
Speaker 13: know what they're really good at doing. Kyle Sanahan is

1487
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 13: like my favorite kind of petty like he will just

1488
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:21,599
Speaker 13: run right at your worst player and like just make

1489
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:24,240
Speaker 13: you a quick and idiot. Like that's what Kyle Sanahan does.

1490
01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:24,720
Speaker 5: Really really well.

1491
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 13: And then on the other side of the ball, it

1492
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:29,679
Speaker 13: just it's very tough when you've got Dak Prescott throwing

1493
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:32,439
Speaker 13: a ton of short passes and playing like very like

1494
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:37,160
Speaker 13: old school West Coast football, but not like like it's

1495
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:39,120
Speaker 13: just his lowest area ards for target, Like he's the

1496
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:41,759
Speaker 13: lowest area ards for target quarterback in the entire NFL

1497
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 13: right now. So it's all quick games, it's all short passes,

1498
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 13: so they don't really have that explosive layer. Maybe they'll

1499
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:50,200
Speaker 13: try to add it in here, but like, good luck

1500
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:51,719
Speaker 13: against that San Francisco front.

1501
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and let's talk about San Francisco.

1502
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:55,600
Speaker 3: We've seen brock perty go eleven and zero now in

1503
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:59,000
Speaker 3: games he started and finished while he was healthy. Is

1504
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:01,839
Speaker 3: this finally enough to say he is a franchise quarterback?

1505
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:05,200
Speaker 13: I have a hard time with. I mean, they're so

1506
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 13: it's interesting because you know, usually you try to take

1507
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 13: a quarterback in the first round because you get that

1508
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 13: fifth year of their contract. Well, this is Rockberty's second year,

1509
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:16,280
Speaker 13: and of course, you know, we know he was the

1510
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:17,080
Speaker 13: last that we got it.

1511
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 5: He's the last guy drafted. Understood, But what it.

1512
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 13: Really matters about this is, like I don't know, like

1513
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 13: every single quarterback deal gets richer and richer. They won't

1514
01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:28,559
Speaker 13: have to make this decision until a couple of years

1515
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:31,760
Speaker 13: from now. But I think this shows you that this

1516
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 13: is the right decision based like it was. More to me,

1517
01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:37,080
Speaker 13: it shows that they're really smart, not trying to like

1518
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:40,639
Speaker 13: throw good money after bad or succumbing to the sunk

1519
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:43,760
Speaker 13: cost fallacy of keeping Trey Lance but longer than they

1520
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:44,160
Speaker 13: needed to.

1521
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:46,960
Speaker 5: So I think that was actually the smarter move in

1522
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:47,360
Speaker 5: all of it.

1523
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:50,040
Speaker 13: And by the way, Trey Lance secret revenge game because

1524
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:53,320
Speaker 13: you know where he is now in Dallas, so he's

1525
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:55,120
Speaker 13: going to play. He's not going to play, but you know,

1526
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:57,000
Speaker 13: obviously you know hopefully.

1527
01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:58,240
Speaker 5: He doesn't play. That would be something happened to Deck.

1528
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:00,519
Speaker 13: But you know, saying like, I just think it means

1529
01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 13: they're smarter about not throwing good money after bads.

1530
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 2: Cynthia.

1531
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:08,920
Speaker 4: What do the Giants do with Daniel Jones? I know

1532
01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:12,120
Speaker 4: the O line is depleted and it's not it's not great,

1533
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:13,759
Speaker 4: But when I watch him.

1534
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 2: At least this season, he seems.

1535
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:19,519
Speaker 4: Uncomfortable and like, let go of the ball, throw the ball?

1536
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:21,880
Speaker 4: Why why does he not have like a clock in

1537
01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:24,400
Speaker 4: his own head? I don't know how the Giants move

1538
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 4: forward with Daniel Jones.

1539
01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:26,960
Speaker 2: How do they do that?

1540
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 13: Well, they paid him a lot of money, so I

1541
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:32,479
Speaker 13: got to figure this out. Look, you know, Brian Dabel

1542
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:34,719
Speaker 13: has like a lot of experience. So there they're offensive

1543
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 13: coordinator is a guy named Mike Kapka, and he was

1544
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:40,879
Speaker 13: with Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City. And then you know Davell.

1545
01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:43,920
Speaker 13: He was with Josh Allen obviously at the Bills. But

1546
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:47,160
Speaker 13: between the two of them, they understand how to use

1547
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:49,720
Speaker 13: like they're different types of quarterbacks despite being two of

1548
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:51,559
Speaker 13: the very very best. Now I don't I'm not putting

1549
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:54,120
Speaker 13: Daniel Jones on that caliber, but I am saying that

1550
01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:56,880
Speaker 13: if anyone can fix it, it's these two minds, right.

1551
01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:00,519
Speaker 13: Like the O line is not good. It's it's like

1552
01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:02,479
Speaker 13: I mean, I think Evan Neil was talking in the

1553
01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:05,840
Speaker 13: third person about it. Least he's like Evan Neil like,

1554
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:08,160
Speaker 13: I'm like, okay, not with the third person talk, bro,

1555
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:11,360
Speaker 13: Like you're okay, but uh, you know it's not good.

1556
01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:15,599
Speaker 13: But Taku not being there also not good. However, the

1557
01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 13: bright spot is is there. Their wide receivers are running

1558
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 13: the fastest route as a receiver group, even faster than Miami,

1559
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:25,760
Speaker 13: their opponent. I don't necessarily think but they're they're It

1560
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:27,719
Speaker 13: doesn't mean they're getting the ball, but they are running

1561
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:30,000
Speaker 13: really fast. So the speed that they're trying to that

1562
01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:32,080
Speaker 13: they're trying to that they tried to select for it

1563
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:34,600
Speaker 13: actually is working out. So at least part of the

1564
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:37,880
Speaker 13: plan is working. But it doesn't look pretty now. And

1565
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 13: I don't know if this is the week they get

1566
01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:42,479
Speaker 13: back on track, but I do think it will end

1567
01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:44,800
Speaker 13: up looking a little better, especially when Saquon is back

1568
01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:46,680
Speaker 13: and at least a little healthier.

1569
01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:49,240
Speaker 3: So the Giants are in this next group that I

1570
01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:52,760
Speaker 3: have a question for you. Of all the nine one

1571
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:56,639
Speaker 3: win teams, which one are you most confident in?

1572
01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:02,360
Speaker 13: The schedule makers To me, they did the Bengals a

1573
01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:04,720
Speaker 13: little bit of a favor ahead of their buy, so

1574
01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:07,960
Speaker 13: I'm not saying Arizona hasn't outkicked this coverage in terms

1575
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:10,479
Speaker 13: of what we thought was going to happen at ahead

1576
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:11,000
Speaker 13: of the season.

1577
01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:12,400
Speaker 5: Joshua Dobbs looks amazing.

1578
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:14,800
Speaker 13: I have a lot of good things to say about

1579
01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:19,320
Speaker 13: relative to what we expected. However, you still have Joe Burrow,

1580
01:13:19,439 --> 01:13:21,960
Speaker 13: and I was reading all about Zach Taylor saying that

1581
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:24,760
Speaker 13: this week has been like Joe burrow'sne everything that they've

1582
01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:27,640
Speaker 13: asked in practice, like he looks back to himself. You

1583
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:29,840
Speaker 13: saw Jamar Chase, there was some film that came out

1584
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 13: of him of like in the locker room being like

1585
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:34,880
Speaker 13: I'm always please open. Like, you know, I think they're fiicy,

1586
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:36,639
Speaker 13: and I think I think that they get it back

1587
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:38,720
Speaker 13: together because you don't have the kind of talent that

1588
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:42,200
Speaker 13: Joe Burrow has and not figured out. Plus we've also

1589
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:45,040
Speaker 13: seen them have slow starts before, so I probably feel

1590
01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 13: most confident in them top to bottom.

1591
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:48,400
Speaker 5: Plus they get a few.

1592
01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:51,920
Speaker 13: Easier matchups in the next two weeks headiting into their buy.

1593
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 13: So I mean that the AFC Norris, I have no

1594
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:56,760
Speaker 13: idea what to make of any of them.

1595
01:13:57,720 --> 01:13:58,160
Speaker 2: That's fair.

1596
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:01,559
Speaker 4: I mean this might be a too broad up a question,

1597
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 4: but who's gonna lose their first game?

1598
01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:06,000
Speaker 2: The Eagles or the forty nine Ers.

1599
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 13: Well, I think both of them win this week, although

1600
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:13,880
Speaker 13: I think the Eagles both of them, I mean, they're

1601
01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:16,000
Speaker 13: both great games, and they both either could lose this

1602
01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 13: week or both could lose. But you know, I think

1603
01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:21,120
Speaker 13: that what I've seen from the Eagles defense is a

1604
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:24,840
Speaker 13: bit troubling considering what we saw from them last year, right, Like,

1605
01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 13: you know, the Eagles defense has looked a little bit

1606
01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:30,519
Speaker 13: more vulnerable and the complimentary aspect of football. They've had

1607
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:33,240
Speaker 13: to really rely on Jalen Hurts, like especially when he

1608
01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:35,640
Speaker 13: was sick against Tampa, like he was just doing some

1609
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:39,439
Speaker 13: crazy things, especially you know, allegedly he wasn't feeling good whatever.

1610
01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:40,799
Speaker 5: So I'm a little.

1611
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:45,400
Speaker 13: Game is flu game, right Yeah? So yeah, so I'm

1612
01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:48,320
Speaker 13: a little more concerned about them in general. Plus, you know,

1613
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:51,360
Speaker 13: I don't know, I don't know who ends up losing first,

1614
01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:54,280
Speaker 13: but you know, I don't think either one will go undefeated,

1615
01:14:54,360 --> 01:14:56,519
Speaker 13: so it wouldn't surprise me. And again, it wouldn't even

1616
01:14:56,520 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 13: surprise me if it was someone like that didn't even

1617
01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:01,320
Speaker 13: make sense, right, Like sometimes you just yeah, that's weird

1618
01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:03,639
Speaker 13: trap game of a team that you're like, oh, that's

1619
01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:05,160
Speaker 13: a cupcake, and then they end up losing.

1620
01:15:05,200 --> 01:15:07,040
Speaker 3: All right, all right, one more for you said that

1621
01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:09,639
Speaker 3: before we let you go, Well, what's your best bet

1622
01:15:09,640 --> 01:15:10,200
Speaker 3: this weekend?

1623
01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:12,839
Speaker 2: Good one?

1624
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:17,120
Speaker 13: The you know, it's it's funny because I hate when

1625
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:19,519
Speaker 13: I am cheering for my own I'm a lion stand

1626
01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:24,120
Speaker 13: it's tough letting in my world. So you know, when

1627
01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:27,839
Speaker 13: the Lions are like favorites of home, like I'm like, okay,

1628
01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:30,120
Speaker 13: and then last year. Remember there's a little bit of

1629
01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:34,000
Speaker 13: a revenge here because last year the Panthers ran all

1630
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:35,880
Speaker 13: over the Lions. So I think that this has a

1631
01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:39,720
Speaker 13: special Dan Campbell extra fight the mood. I think the

1632
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:42,000
Speaker 13: Lions and I think they win by two touchdowns.

1633
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:43,040
Speaker 5: I think that's it.

1634
01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:44,960
Speaker 13: And I also think that the Jets they have a

1635
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,720
Speaker 13: little revenge here too. Remember Nathaniel Hackett got called the

1636
01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:50,639
Speaker 13: names by Dante Keep my coach's name out of your mouth.

1637
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:51,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.

1638
01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:53,840
Speaker 13: And I think that the Jets go in there and

1639
01:15:54,240 --> 01:15:57,120
Speaker 13: they avenged last year. Breathe call got hurt in their

1640
01:15:57,160 --> 01:16:00,240
Speaker 13: game at the Denver Broncos, and so did Elijah Verra Tucker.

1641
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:03,960
Speaker 13: Obviously USC fans know him. But I think this year

1642
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:06,320
Speaker 13: that old line has been it looks really good against

1643
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:08,479
Speaker 13: the Chiefs. And I think that the Jets go into

1644
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:11,599
Speaker 13: a mile high or whatever empower whatever it's called now,

1645
01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:13,280
Speaker 13: and they's the Broncos.

1646
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:15,960
Speaker 2: Dang. I love both of us.

1647
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:18,360
Speaker 3: Okay, we're gonna be doing monthly check ins with the

1648

1659
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:40,800
Speaker 6: Deep the center field by Young going back his mull

1660
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:41,599
Speaker 6: and t's at the wall.

1661
01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:42,839
Speaker 1: He looks up. It's gone.

1662
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:47,680
Speaker 6: Josh Young parks won just over the wall, just to

1663
01:16:47,720 --> 01:16:51,559
Speaker 6: the right of straightaway center. His first career postseason home

1664
01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:54,320
Speaker 6: run has given Texas a three to one lead.

1665
01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:57,679
Speaker 4: Oh and Texas ended up beating the Baltimore Orioles three

1666
01:16:57,760 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 4: to two in Game one of the Al Dys.

1667

Speaker 2: Producer Brandon lead us through.

1681
01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:44,160
Speaker 13: All right, so last week you both selected pretty much

1682
01:17:44,160 --> 01:17:44,719
Speaker 13: the same.

1683
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:45,320
Speaker 5: Thing, Dona.

1684
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:48,040
Speaker 2: Do you have our totals? Yes, I do season totals.

1685
01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:49,880
Speaker 1: So you went four and one last week.

1686
01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:52,719
Speaker 13: But on the season, Alex leads eight to four because

1687
01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:53,559
Speaker 13: we started in week two.

1688
01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:56,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, technically, so Alex is eight and four and Monsey

1689
01:17:56,920 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 2: is nine and three.

1690
01:17:58,479 --> 01:18:00,880
Speaker 1: So Alex has like a one gamely a rookie numbers.

1691
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:02,559
Speaker 2: Wait wait wait, I think you said I have a

1692
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:04,759
Speaker 2: one game lead. Yeah. No again, I'm sorry.

1693
01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:08,519
Speaker 13: Alex is eiden four, Monzi's nine and three day right,

1694
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:10,479
Speaker 13: Manzi has one.

1695
01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:13,120
Speaker 3: Game two weeks ago when you went four and oh correct,

1696
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:13,760
Speaker 3: and I did not.

1697
01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:16,000
Speaker 2: But I knew it was close. I knew we were Wait

1698
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:18,559
Speaker 2: the first week you had more of the I knew

1699
01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:20,639
Speaker 2: I was real close. I just didn't know the total. Okay,

1700
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:22,400
Speaker 2: all right, let's do it.

1701
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:24,960
Speaker 1: All right, we'll burn through these real quick. Well, God

1702
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:27,080
Speaker 1: cowboys at forty nine ers.

1703
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:28,960
Speaker 2: Forty nine Ers, favored by three and a half.

1704
01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:34,439
Speaker 3: I believe in Kyle Shanahan and his facilitator, Brock Pardy.

1705
01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:36,320
Speaker 3: It's going to be a close one, I think, just

1706
01:18:36,360 --> 01:18:39,840
Speaker 3: because of the recent Cowboy playoff rivalry. But the forty

1707
01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:42,599
Speaker 3: Dinners have way too many A plus weapons and uh,

1708
01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:43,960
Speaker 3: Brock is eleven to zero games.

1709
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:46,280
Speaker 2: He started and finished, I'm taking fort nine ers. I'm

1710
01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:48,240
Speaker 2: taking the forty nine ers, and I don't like it.

1711
01:18:48,360 --> 01:18:51,479
Speaker 4: I don't like it if the Cowboys win, I'm gonna

1712
01:18:51,479 --> 01:18:54,519
Speaker 4: be upset because my head is telling me Cowboys. My

1713
01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:56,720
Speaker 4: heart is telling me forty nine ers, And you know,

1714
01:18:56,760 --> 01:18:57,679
Speaker 4: I like to go with my heart.

1715
01:18:57,680 --> 01:18:59,800
Speaker 2: I'm not logical, but I don't like it. I don't

1716
01:18:59,840 --> 01:19:01,599
Speaker 2: like go with your head. No, I'm going to go.

1717
01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:03,479
Speaker 2: You know I don't like being logical, all right. You

1718
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:04,400
Speaker 2: know that I'm emotional.

1719
01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:07,920
Speaker 1: All right, That's fine, Chiefs said Vikings.

1720
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:09,839
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the Chiefs.

1721
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:12,120
Speaker 3: Even though I said I was confident in the Vikings

1722
01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:15,920
Speaker 3: for turning things around, the offense has been kind of

1723
01:19:16,200 --> 01:19:17,920
Speaker 3: lacking that explosion factor.

1724
01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:18,840
Speaker 2: I just.

1725
01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:23,280
Speaker 3: It's gonna be close. But Mahomes is good enough to

1726
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:25,519
Speaker 3: make up for the fact that their wide receiver corps

1727
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:27,599
Speaker 3: is just not where it was before. They don't have

1728
01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:30,120
Speaker 3: the same wespons they have. Travis Kelsey's our main target

1729
01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:32,800
Speaker 3: and then it just kind of drops off from there.

1730
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:35,000
Speaker 3: But we saw it against the Jets. Even when he

1731
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:36,479
Speaker 3: doesn't have a good game, he's gonna figure it out.

1732
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:38,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, chiefs Okay.

1733
01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:39,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, Eagles at Rams.

1734
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:43,639
Speaker 3: Even with the Rams getting Couper Cutback making his season

1735
01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:47,600
Speaker 3: debut and Pukunukua going off, I think the Eagles have

1736
01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:51,240
Speaker 3: a better all around team and they haven't been playing

1737
01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:54,840
Speaker 3: their best games yet, which is kind of scary and

1738
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:56,040
Speaker 3: dangerous for the NFC.

1739
01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:57,599
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the Eagles. Eagles.

1740
01:19:57,920 --> 01:20:01,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, silly to pick the Rams.

1741
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:04,840
Speaker 1: Eagles, Jaguars and Bills love, but you just don't feel

1742
01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 1: good about it.

1743
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:08,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the London game.

1744
01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:11,240
Speaker 3: It's not getting a lot of attention, I think because.

1745
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:13,240
Speaker 2: It's on it like like six thirty am Pacific.

1746
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:16,200
Speaker 3: But two quarterbacks with a lot to prove, I'm taking

1747
01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:19,519
Speaker 3: the Bills and Josh Allen because he's turned things around.

1748
01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:23,840
Speaker 4: Jaguars win, No, Jaguars win, No, let's go.

1749
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:27,240
Speaker 2: Jaguars win, all right? Taking the Bills, that's the one

1750
01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:28,120
Speaker 2: we different this week.

1751
01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:30,840
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for spending your Saturday afternoon with us.

1752
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:33,519
Speaker 2: We'll see you next week, same time and same plays.
