Speaker 2: buying should be. I cannot begin this broadcast without addressing

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 2: briefly the very serious situation in southern California, where I

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: spent much of my life. I have friends there and

12
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 2: family there. My show was preempted Friday night, and for

13
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 2: very good reason. But I no, I don't have the words.

14
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: I would just simply say my thoughts are prayers, are sincererious,

15
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: condolence's best wishes. I know this about the great state

16
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: of California. It's a resilient group. We're rooting for you,

17
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: and I hope this passes sooner rather than later. I

18
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: wish I had more articulate pros and poetry. I just

19
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: simply don't. But a lot of people are rooting for you.

20
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: Back to the reality, the toy department of life, the

21
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: sports department. A lot of people are rooting for the

22
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: Chargers today, I guess as well, And as you may

23
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: or may not have heard me say a thousand times

24
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 2: on my show, sports are the greatest reality. You know, production,

25
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: and you can script everything but the ending. I mean,

26
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: what if I told you heading into the game the

27
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: entire season. I heard Jay Wright, the great coach of Villanova,

28
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: talking about this, how you would trust a guy like

29
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert in much the same way ball security is

30
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: extremely important in basketball, it's very important in football. Herbert

31
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: had thrown three interceptions the entire season. He threw four

32
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 2: on Saturday, and there in lives the headline. The Chargers

33
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 2: completely fell apart. They lose to Houston thirty two to

34
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: twelve after getting Ottawas six to nothing. Leads so much

35
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: for the seventeen point per game, jesse Mentor's defense and

36
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: the fact that Houston had been one and six against

37
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: playoff teams this year. Right on down the line, Herbert

38
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 2: owned it. He said, quote, I let the team down.

39
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 2: You can't turn the ball over like that and expect

40
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 2: to win. I just have to be better. It was

41
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: a nightmare, absolute nightmare. The four interceptions were more than

42
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 2: again Herbert threw for the entire season. The last time

43
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: a Chargers quarterback ever threw four interceptions in a playoff

44
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 2: game was well, it was thirty years ago. Stan Humphreys

45
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: did it nineteen ninety five against the Indianapolis Colts, and

46
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 2: the true circle of life. You can't make this stuff up.

47
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: Who was the starting quarterback for the Colts that day

48
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety five, Yeah, you guess, Jim Harbaugh. The

49
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: funny thing is is that Herbert really looked uncomfortable alo

50
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: he just he had constant pressure. And we believed a

51
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: lot of folks believe that with JK. Dobbins healthy and

52
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 2: back in the mix, the Chargers would established the run,

53
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: which they started too early. But then the run game

54
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 2: became non existent. Herbert was sacked four times, he was

55
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: pressured on fifty percent of his dropacks, he didn't get

56
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: enough help or support in the ground, and he only

57
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 2: ran for fifty yards, I mean eighteen carries fifty yards. Meanwhile,

58
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: Herbert just completed forty three percent of his passes fourteen

59
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: to thirty two. And we know that he's act some

60
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: impressive numbers early in his career, but he struggled. He struggled,

61
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: frankly with it's needed. Most of course, Robert Griffin made

62
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: a note of that. He goes, I hope you all

63
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: call him out like you call out Lamar Jackson and

64
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott. Okay, Robert, you feel better now, don't worry.

65
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: We will That's what I'm doing right now. Wow. Early

66
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: in the game, by the way, it looked like the

67
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: charge Argers would pounce on the on the on the Texans.

68
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: The Texans, you know, were not a great playoff team.

69
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: I mean Rex Ryan even popped off and said, Hey,

70
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: I didn't know the Chargers had to buy they're going

71
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: to play the Texans. We'll give the Texans the Demico

72
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 2: Ryans a lot of credit. Football is still blocking and tackling.

73
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 2: And I got to say, after their slow start, which

74
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 2: which the Chargers could not take advantage of, the Texans

75
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: came back and on their first offensive play of the game.

76
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: You know, I'll tell you what. Rather than do this

77
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: complete roll call, let's just say this. The one bright

78
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: spot the Chargers had was was Lad McConkie. If you

79
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: could find any positive in that tough loss, he said, frankly,

80
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: and I don't know why they don't. Maybe you can

81
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: give him credit, Robert Griffin. Lad McConkie is the star.

82
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: He was the only one to perform at a high

83
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: level for the entire Charger offense. And he doesn't have

84
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: a foiler on the other side. He caught nine balls

85
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 2: one hundred and ninety seven yards, had the EDC. He

86
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: shared a touchdown reception, and I hear people say, well,

87
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: he's not a number one. Did you see anybody catch

88
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 2: him from behind? He caught balls over the middle and

89
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: got flattened. He's not afraid to go into traffic. He'll

90
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 2: fight for the ball. He's got very secure hands. And

91
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 2: I'm guessing I'll have to check on our buddy Mike

92
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: Carmon that Lad McConkey might go someone high next year

93
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: with you all the wide receivers that fantasy people like

94
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 2: to draft. The one good thing I will say about

95
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 2: this is that Justin Herbert I do believe very much

96
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 2: as a support of his team and his coach. Harball

97
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 2: defended Justin Herbert post game, saying, coach his quarterback played

98
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: like he always does, a complete beast. I'm not sure

99
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: what game Harball was watching he you know, didn't finish

100
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: a lot of his throws in his throwing motion. But

101
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 2: his center Bradley Boseman, said, look, this guy's a damn

102
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 2: good football player, one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

103
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 2: He had a bad day, Matthew Potter, and he's going

104
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 2: to get slacked because people, that's what we do. We

105
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 2: elevate people to the highest level in life, only to

106
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,679
Speaker 2: tear them back down. But I'll say this about the Chargers,

107
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 2: and let's face it, the Chargers you could say overachieved.

108
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: They got to the playoffs. They were a favorite, a

109
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 2: road favorite. But I want to see what Jim Harbaugh

110
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: does from this point forward. One of my absolute favorite

111
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: Jim Harball stories. Actually, forget it, it is my favorite

112
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: Jim Harball story. Harball had a slow start at University

113
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 2: of Michigan, didn't play it all its freshman year, barely

114
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 2: played a sophomore year. I wasn't feeling real good about things.

115
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: In the spring following is sophomore year, he was walking

116
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: across campus and he saw coach both sham Becker and

117
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: his peripheral vision about fifty yards away, and he started

118
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: to pick up his pace and go into different direction

119
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: he did not want to see coach. Things were not

120
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 2: going well, and Harball was pondering his future at Michigan.

121
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 2: Of course, coach sham Beckler caught up to him and

122
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: in front of him and said, hey, Jim, how are

123
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 2: you doing heading the class? Yeah? Coach, coach, how you doing?

124
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: I'm doing good? Look at me, Jim. And Coach sham

125
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 2: Becker kind of grabbed Jim by the shoulders and looked

126
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: him up and down like a piece of meat. He said,

127
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: what are you about?

128
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 3: Six?

129
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: Two to two ten? Now, Jim, about two ten, because

130
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: that's parted coach? Good? Good? You've been working out? Yeah? Yeah, coach, yep, Jim.

131
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. I recruited you, I wanted you,

132
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 2: and you might be the biggest mistake I ever made

133
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 2: in my recruiting life. Or you might be the greatest

134
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 2: quarterback in the University of Michigan history. And both. Shambelle

135
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,239
Speaker 2: turned the turntail, put his head down and strolled away,

136
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: and Hobbaugh stood there motionless. What was that? Went back

137
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 2: to his dorm, laid on his bed and pondered his

138
00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: navel and said, what was that? And it? He said,

139
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: it took up about a month and then they dawned

140
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: on him. What coach was basically saying is that it's

141
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: up to me. It's going to be up to me,

142
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 2: and that should be the theme for the Chargers heading into

143
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five in this same division as the Kansas

144
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: City Chiefs, an extremely improved Denver team, and then of

145
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: course there are the Raiders. But you know, the NFL

146
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: doesn't operate in a vacuum. As far as the Steelers

147
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: and Ravens takeaways, Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, they did what

148
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: they were paid to do. It was a very decisive

149
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: victory over Pittsburgh, or Pittsburgh appears to be a team,

150
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: appears to be a franchise that, to me, has lost

151
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 2: its identity, and you absolutely know what that identity has

152
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 2: been for fifty years. Baltimore jumped all over Pittsburgh from

153
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 2: the start. Offensively, Lamar Jackson took the liberty to run

154
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: quite a bit more than he did during both regular

155
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 2: season matchups versus the Steelers, and after the game, Jackson

156
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 2: said he was running a lot of Reid option. He

157
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: was basically reacting to whatever Pittsburgh's defense was doing. And

158
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: what happened was that early success on the ground that

159
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson had basically opened up the rest of the

160
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 2: Ravens offense, especially for Derrick Henry and the running game.

161
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: But Jackson also had plenty of success through the air

162
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: despite the absence, and I thought it would be a

163
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: bigger loss than their number one target, Zay Flowers. Meanwhile, defensively, Baltimore,

164
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: their defense routinely had Pittsburgh in terrible down in distant situations,

165
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 2: especially in the first half. They got the Steelers offense

166
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 2: off the field, and they got two big stops after

167
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh had made it a fourteen point game late the

168
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: fourth gain the third quarter. So why did the Steelers

169
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: lose as they had done during their four game losing streak.

170
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: They started flat, deny it. They were flat. They were

171
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 2: out gained three hundred and six yards to fifty nine

172
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 2: in the first half two first downs compared to Baltimore's nineteen.

173
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 2: They were one for five on third downs in the

174
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: first half. Pittsburgh's offense continually committed self inflicted wounds too

175
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: many third lungs the game. Their running game was a

176
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: non factor. Najie Harris rushed for seventeen yards on six

177
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 2: carries and I doubt he'll be back with Pittsburgh next year. Also,

178
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson six and six as Pittsburgh starting quarterback. He

179
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 2: lived and died on the deep passes. George Pickens stepped up,

180
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 2: but the offense didn't do much else. Speaking of Pickings,

181
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 2: excuse me. He had eighty seven yards on five catches,

182
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: but just one catch in the first half. The game

183
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: was over at halftime. It was over at halftime. So again,

184
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 2: going forward, I think both the Steelers and the Chargers

185
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: have to do some soul searching. But hool springs eternal.

186
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: They were playoff teams this year, even though the Steelers

187
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 2: havn't won a playoff games since twenty sixteen. Onward and upward,

188
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: as is the situation with Baltimore. Who if I'm a

189
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 2: betting man and I am likely we'll face the Houston

190
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 2: Texans next week. That's the way I see it. And

191
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 2: of course, you know the Chargers will go home lick

192
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 2: their wounds. They had a good draft this past year

193
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 2: and we'll see where. We'll see where that ends up.

225
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 5: Thanks for having me.

226
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, good to have you. It's playoff time and it

227
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 2: gets even more a dicey as you can see. Before

228
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: we dive into the remaining four games on the docket,

229
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 2: I'd like to get a couple of takeaways from you today.

230
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 2: The Chargers headed into Houston. Houston had only been one

231
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 2: and six against playoff teams. Jesse Minter had a defense

232
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 2: allowing seventeen points per game, and Houston completely turned the tables.

233
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 2: What were your takeaways from that game?

234
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 5: If you had any, Yeah, I think you know.

235
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 3: With what both the Chargers and Pittsburgh. You know, the

236
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 3: way I looked at those games, both these teams to

237
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 3: me were very average teams this year, and it successfully

238
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 3: came because they won the turnover battle. Pittsburgh got a

239
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 3: ton of turnovers. Uh, Sandy or the Chargers did turn

240
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 3: the ball over all year. Obviously that flipped on them today.

241
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 3: So you know, I was on Houston today. I just

242
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 3: thought that line was a little bit off. And you know,

243
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 3: I bet Baltimore over their team total because we've we've

244
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 3: seen this of Pittsburgh. You know, their defense really, to

245
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 3: me again is kind of average. We know their offenses

246
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 3: below average. So you know, neither result really shocked me today.

247
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 3: And and I you know, the last thing I would

248
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 3: say on this too, I guess Bernie is the Chargers

249
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 3: in Houston both came into this with a strength, you

250
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 3: know what, some of the weakest strength of victories in

251
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 3: the NFL this year, So they were some of the

252
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 3: weaker teams coming into the playoffs.

253
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 2: UH. Today as well, let's quickly glance over the Baltimore

254
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: raven Steelers game. And part of the reason I say

255
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 2: that is I'm I'm secure in the knowledge I believe

256
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 2: Houston will be visiting Baltimore next week. And I always

257
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 2: call Lamar Jackson mister October because that's when he shines,

258
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: but in January not so much. And I'm not getting

259
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: off that horse until he proves it to me. It

260
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: doesn't feel like the Ravens would lose to Houston, but

261
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 2: I don't think they can look past him. How do

262
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 2: you assess that game next week, assuming they.

263
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 5: Play, Well, let's make sure you run the same page.

264
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 3: If if Buffalo wins tomorrow, then Baltimore will go to

265
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 3: Buffalo and Houston would go to Kansas City. So do

266
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 3: you think Denver is winning?

267
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 2: I've got that backwards. For some reason, my information was wrong.

268
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: I assume that if Buffalo won. Okay, so let's skip that.

269
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: Let's just skip that talk about my bad Let's let's

270
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 2: talk about Baltimore as a standalone franchise with respect to

271
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 2: You know, they've got to win two more games just

272
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: to get to the super Bowl, and I feel don't

273
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 2: have to go through error. At some point, I just

274
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 2: I'm not sold on them for some reason, and I

275
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 2: can't get it out of my mind. Well, talk about

276
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 2: the Ravens from your vantage point.

277
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm with you.

278
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 3: I mean, if you look at the AFC, I think,

279
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 3: you know, it's no shocker. Kansas City, Ballder, and Buffalo

280
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 3: all have a chance to come out of there.

281
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 5: But to your point, I.

282
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 3: Mean, Baldiver's offense is very good. I was looking back

283
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 3: today to look at their offensive ratings with Lamar Jackson,

284
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 3: you go all the way back to twenty nineteen, it

285
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 3: was probably the other team that had an even better

286
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 3: offensive season than this unit is having this year. Last

287
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 3: year was just slightly below. And we know they failed

288
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 3: in those times. You know, back in twenty nineteen they

289
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 3: lost at homes to Tennessee. Last year, of course, we

290
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 3: know they lost at home to Kansas City. Look, it's

291
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 3: a very good team. I think their defense is kind

292
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 3: of about average. So you know, I don't think, you know,

293
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 3: if they have to go on the road to Kansas City,

294
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 3: it's hard to say how good Kansas City is.

295
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 5: But we don't how Kansas City.

296
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 3: Seems to come through every year. They have a good

297
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 3: head coach and obviously a great quarterback. And you know,

298
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 3: I don't want to say Lamar Jackson can't win it

299
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 3: because you know, people said.

300
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 5: Out about Peyton Manning and all.

301
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 3: This and that, and you know, sometimes you just didn't

302
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 3: have the right team, or you're having to go on

303
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 3: the road to play against a great team.

304
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 5: But kind of to your point, until we see.

305
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 3: Lamar do it, it's hard for me to say he

306
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 3: can do it.

307
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 5: So they're certainly there, but.

308
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 3: They got to get through Kansas City first, and until

309
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 3: they do it, I'm not sure it'll happen.

310
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 2: Right well, and we'll save that for another day. Okay,

311
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 2: So let's talk about Denver visiting Buffalo. It's the first

312
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 2: game of the dock at Sunday. You talked about turnovers.

313
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: Buffalo leads the NFL over in turnover margin, and history

314
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 2: is not kind to rookie quarterbacks going on the road

315
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: for the first playoff win. I don't frankly see a

316
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 2: path to victory for the Broncos unless they can somehow

317
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 2: keep Josh Allen off the field with a bunch of

318
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 2: screenplays and short passes. Because Denver's run game isn't great,

319
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 2: I'd be inclined I delay the eight and a half.

320
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: I've used Buffalo as a teaser partner alongside Baltimore. What's

321
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 2: your take on this game?

322
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the teaser is a good option, Bernie.

323
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 3: What I'll probably play here is kind of like I

324
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 3: did with Baltimore here, not wanting to lay a whole

325
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 3: bunch of points and probably go over their team total,

326
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 3: which I think is since that twenty eight and a half.

327
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 3: Denver is one of you know four teams I mentioned

328
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 3: earlier with the Chargers in Houston and just the very

329
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 3: weak strength of victory, and Denver's right there as well,

330
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 3: with a very very weak strength of victory this year. So,

331
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 3: I mean, they haven't beat a lot of good teams

332
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 3: number one, number two when they've gone on the road

333
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 3: against really good offenses. They lost forty one to ten

334
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 3: at Baltimore, they lost thirty to twenty four to Cincinnati,

335
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 3: and now you got Buffalo at home, which in all

336
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 3: but one home game this year has scored thirty or

337
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 3: more points. They've averaged thirty four points a game. I

338
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 3: just you know, the Denver defense is good, but it's

339
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 3: you know, it's not elite, and Buffalo's going to score

340
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 3: some points in this game.

341
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 5: They don't turn the ball over like you said.

342
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, the one weakness is the ru run defense is

343
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 3: not great, and maybe there's a little bit of a

344
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 3: path there for Denver and you know, Boat Necks can

345
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 3: use his legs a little bit, But I'm looking for

346
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 3: Buffalo to score a fair amount of points in this game.

347
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 3: You know, whether you're doing a teaser or going over

348
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 3: to the team total for Buffalo, I think those are

349
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 3: the best ways to play this game.

350
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 2: So for those who are inclined to want to grab

351
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 2: the eight and a half, and I'm not one of them,

352
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: how much do you possibly factor? And I agree Denver's

353
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 2: defense is not great. They give up a lot of

354
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 2: points this year, but they did lead the NFL quarterback

355
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 2: sacks of sixty three and they're coach by a guy

356
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 2: who's forty and twenty five against the spread as a

357
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: career dog. Do you factor either of those two things in?

358
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 2: And that Denver might might hang the number?

359
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I look at it, and you know,

360
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 3: I run my numbers, and I think I had this

361
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 3: thing at like eight point eight points, so kind of.

362
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 5: Right where the line is.

363
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 3: And that's that's my biggest indicator, right is you know,

364
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 3: just trusting the model and what the what it says

365
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 3: from a point spreads standpoint, and then just trying to

366
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 3: look at, you know, what do these teams look like against?

367
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 3: You know, maybe other similar teams. And in this case,

368
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,479
Speaker 3: we have a very good Buffalo offense, and I can

369
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 3: see kind of what Denver's down on the road against.

370
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 5: Other good offenses.

371
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 3: And yes, they leave, you know, they're up there in

372
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 3: pressure and whatnot. But at the same time, Buffalo and

373
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 3: Josh Allen just aren't getting sacked either. I mean, it's

374
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 3: been a great year for Josh Allen, you know, like

375
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 3: you said, the low turnovers, which you know was not

376
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 3: his history in the finals. So they've done a great

377
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 3: job there and taking care of the ball.

378
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 2: Let's talk about green Bay visiting Philadelphia. I see the

379
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:40,479
Speaker 2: number now up to minus five. I actually played Philly

380
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 2: earlier in the week minus four and a half. I

381
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 2: feel very strong about this play. I like green Bay.

382
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 2: I do think they miss Christian Watson. They kind of

383
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 2: limp into the playoffs on the two game losing streak.

384
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 2: I honestly feel that Philadelphia is the most complete team

385
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 2: in this tournament right now on paper. What are your

386
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 2: thoughts about green Bay catching five against Philadelphia?

387
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I'm a packer Van Bernie. You know that,

388
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 3: but him plenty of times and I have not met

389
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 3: this game. I worry though, like my player rating model,

390
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 3: which is very very good. It's not as reliable at

391
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 3: a home favorite, but it does show a pretty sizable

392
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 3: advantage for Philadelphia in this game.

393
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 5: And you know, the Packers won't have j R.

394
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 3: Alexander and they played for a long time without him,

395
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 3: and in some ways I can make the argument they're

396
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 3: better in a lot of ways without him, just they're

397
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 3: they're tougher against the run because he didn't really ever

398
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 3: want to stick his head in there and tackle people

399
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,239
Speaker 3: and whatnot. But he was an elite corner and you know,

400
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 3: so they're going to struggle there a little bit. I think,

401
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,959
Speaker 3: like you said, no, Christian Watson, maybe Bolth Meltain's got speed,

402
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 3: you know, does something. They're not in great form for sure,

403
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 3: so I think it's going to be tough.

404
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 5: Now, now, is there a path for green Bay?

405
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 3: Sure, they get turnovers, they run the ball, they control

406
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 3: the clock, you know, they keep her in the.

407
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 5: Pocket, they stuff the run.

408
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 3: They do do a very good job this year of eliminating.

409
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 5: Big pass places.

410
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 3: They lead the league there and Love is struggled against

411
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 3: the blitz, but Philly doesn't blitz a lot. So again

412
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 3: there's your path to green Bay. But they're just not

413
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 3: in good form right now. And I don't know how

414
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 3: healthy Love is with that elbows as well. I know

415
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 3: he's off the injury report, both practice all this and that,

416
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 3: but I'm not sure they're either. And like you said,

417
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 3: I think Philadelphie's a pretty elite team and they definitely

418
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 3: can go to the Super Bowl here and if I

419
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 3: did anything, I probably lay it, But right now I'm

420
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 3: not playing.

421
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 2: The game well. I do think Green Bay is hurt

422
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 2: by the last Christian Watson. And what got me on

423
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 2: Philadelphia is they have the most improved defense in the NFL.

424
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 2: Number one in total yards, number one in passing yards,

425
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 2: number two and scoring defense. And it's tough to win

426
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 2: in that venue. I feel like Philly wins and covers,

427
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 2: but look, you still got to play the game rights.

428
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 2: These things are never easy, all right. Probably my and

429
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 2: I know I've got some people pushing back on me

430
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 2: on this, but probably my favorite game of the weekend

431
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 2: is Tampa Bay minus three. You brought up a great

432
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 2: point about strength to schedule heading into the Wildcard and

433
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 2: it's one of the best predictors as you head into

434
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 2: the Wildcard tournament. If I'm not mistaken, maybe my research

435
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 2: isn't completely pristine, but I think Tampa Bay Bucks have

436
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 2: the number one strength to record of the teams in

437
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 2: the tournament right now, and they're facing the team again

438
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 2: with a rookie quarterback going on the road, Bucky Irvings

439
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 2: also becoming a good factor for Tampa Bay Your thoughts

440
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 2: on that.

441
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 3: Matchup, Yeah, And you know, back to that strength of victory,

442
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 3: there's really four teams.

443
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 5: In the playoffs.

444
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 3: You've mentioned three of them Charges, Deen Burg, Houston that

445
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 3: have very weak strengths of victories, and Washington the other one.

446
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 3: They played three teams on the road this year. They

447
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 3: lost their seventeen at Sampa. It was week one. That's

448
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 3: that's you know, a long ways away from today. But

449
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 3: they lost by seventeen at Tampa, by seven at Ball

450
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 3: the Moore in by eight at Philly. So you know,

451
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 3: they haven't really showed that they can go on the

452
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 3: road and beat some playoff teams. Tampa is going to

453
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 3: get some of the people in the secondary back, Antoine

454
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 3: Winfield and a couple other people will be coming back

455
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 3: as well. You know, Tampa steps are run pretty well,

456
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 3: so I think they can control Washington there a little bit.

457
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 3: And Tampa can.

458
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 5: Run the ball.

459
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 3: Like you said, Bucky Errey has been a fantastic back

460
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 3: for him, and the Washington run defense isn't great. And

461
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 3: if you go back to twenty twenty when seven the

462
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 3: NFL went to seventeens in each conference in the playoffs,

463
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 3: below average defenses going down the road in this wild

464
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 3: card round are now all and six against the spread,

465
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 3: and Washington fits that mold as well. So you know,

466
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 3: if this would go to two and a half, I

467
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 3: would absolutely love Tampa Bay.

468
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 5: Three is still okay.

469
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 3: I do show a little value there, and you know,

470
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 3: I don't love laying points to Tampa Bay. The defense

471
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 3: isn't great, but they are getting some help there and

472
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,239
Speaker 3: I just think, you know, right now, they're in a

473
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 3: better position than Washington. And like I said, Washington hasn't

474
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 3: beat a lot of good teams this year. I like

475
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay in this game.

476
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, And to piggyback on what you were saying, Washington's

477
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 2: defense is the lowest ranked defense of any playoff team

478
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 2: in this tournament. And I really like what Liam Cohen's

479
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 2: done with Baker Mayfield in those route trees I thought about.

480
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 2: I did lay the three, and I know that you know,

481
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 2: if they win by a three, that's a push, or

482
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 2: they win by two. If I got two and a half,

483
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 2: it's a win. I'm not as concerned because it only

484
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 2: lands on three about fourteen percent of the time. But

485
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,239
Speaker 2: I feel like this is a ten point victory for

486
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay. I just I've seen too many rookie quarterbacks.

487
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 2: I don't care how good they are going the road

488
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 2: for a playoff game when they're in their inaugural season.

489
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 2: They don't look the same, right. I'm not wishing that

490
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 2: on Jayden Daniels. I think this Tampa Bay team is

491
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 2: pretty good, and they went into Detroit last year in

492
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 2: the playoffs, gave Detroit a real tussle. And uh, I

493
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 2: think they have enough seasoning UH and and and enough

494
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 2: veteran DNA on that team to understand uh the dynamic. Sunday,

495
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 2: I'm just a little baffled. Scott where the line is

496
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 2: only three. I know it all comes down to power

497
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 2: ratings and such, but does that does that? Do you

498
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 2: make that number three?

499
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 3: I made it a little over four. And you know

500
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 3: what I love about Tampa Bay this year is that

501
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 3: they can run the ball. I mean, you remember those

502
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 3: years past the offensive a next week. They couldn't run

503
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 3: the ball. They couldn't gain a yard when they needed it.

504
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 3: But you know when you can run the ball like that,

505
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 3: and that's that's the play action. And now you got

506
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 3: those receivers. You know, they're set up very well, I think,

507
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 3: especially against this Washington defense, which is not great.

508
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 5: So the fact that they.

509
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 3: Can run it and then set everything else up for

510
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 3: their offense, I think that's huge. And they'll stop the

511
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 3: run as well, so you know they're at home. I think,

512
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 3: I think you know, and they, like I said, long

513
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 3: ways away back to Week one where they won thirty

514
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 3: seven to twenty doesn't really count, but right, but they

515
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 3: can win this game, all.

516
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 2: Right, A game I'm really looking forward to Monday night

517
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 2: for lots of obvious reasons. I may be in the

518
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 2: minority here, but when the line went to two and

519
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 2: a half, I grabbed the vikings. I think a couple things.

520
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 2: It's an overreaction to what they saw Sam Donald do

521
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 2: last Sunday night. In terms of the people who believe

522
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 2: the Rams, I'm not big on the Rams. You know,

523
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 2: Buffalo came into town what a month ago and the

524
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 2: Rams beating forty four to forty two Buffalo kind of

525
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 2: slept block. But since then the Rams only scored forty

526
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 2: four points total in their remaining three games. They don't

527
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 2: have anywhere near the past rush that the Lions had

528
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 2: last Sunday, which is what caused I think Sam Donald

529
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 2: to have the bad game. But there's a stat that

530
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 2: I just can't look past. The Vikings are fourteen to

531
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 2: zero outright, and eleven and two or eleven two and

532
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 2: one against the number when they hold appointment check that

533
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 2: the whole opponents to under thirty points in OZ three

534
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 2: when they don't. Can the Rams score thirty points against

535
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 2: his Vikings defense with a banged up Cooper Cup?

536
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 3: Well, we'll see, you know, it's I'm going I'm not

537
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 3: playing the side. I did play the total, and I

538
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 3: am going over forty eight points here. They these two

539
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 3: played back in LA back in whatever it was week.

540
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: Five weeks final. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

541
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 3: Thirty to twenty had the over that game, if memory

542
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 3: sergainly right, got a little lucky to get.

543
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 5: To the over, you know eventually in that game.

544
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 3: But I think the Rams can score some points Minnesota

545
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 3: on the road against good offenses.

546
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 5: And this Rams team, like you.

547
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 3: Said, they have struggled here the last few weeks. But

548
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 3: since they got everybody back, which was that Minnesota game,

549
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 3: they've they've been pretty decent. They're well above average throwing

550
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 3: the ball. They got Tyler Higbee back a couple of

551
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 3: weeks ago. So this Viking team when they went on

552
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 3: the road to Green Bay, they allowed twenty nine thirty

553
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 3: at the Rams back in the week eight thirty one

554
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 3: last week. That could have been worse, but to you know,

555
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 3: slowed it up a little bit because they were ahead

556
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 3: by so much. So I don't know who's gonna win

557
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 3: the game, but I do think the Rams can score.

558
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 3: I definitely think Minnesota can score. Rams have a little

559
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 3: bit of a pass rush, but this defense is, you know,

560
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 3: in my mind, really about average short of that pass rush,

561
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 3: and that pass rush really kind of comes on the

562
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 3: edges where the Vikings have a little bit of strength

563
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 3: on their offensive line, and the Vikings like to throw

564
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,959
Speaker 3: the ball a lot, and you know, the Rams can

565
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 3: play a little bit of a slow tempo, but when

566
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 3: they get in a game like this where they're going

567
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 3: to have to score points, they they'll they'll speed it

568
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 3: up a little bit, especially if they feel like they

569
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 3: have to score. You know, they're not going to just

570
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 3: run the ball and eat quack like they would maybe

571
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 3: in a game that they had well.

572
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 5: In control and they just want to get to the

573
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 5: end of the game. They know they're gonna have to

574
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 5: score here as well. So you know, my player ratings.

575
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 3: Actually value Minnesota a little bit, and from the line

576
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 3: of scrimmage, those numbers actually value the Rams a little bit.

577
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 3: And then you know, I don't I don't know how

578
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 3: to factor. I'm not getting in any home field advantage.

579
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 3: But that's you know, this whole part of being on

580
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 3: a neutral field is a little weird as well. But

581
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 3: I feel best about the over in this game, and

582
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 3: right now I'm not doing eating with the side at all.

583
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, it feels like you're gonna have

584
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 2: perfect conditions indoors in Glendale. It feels like with a

585
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 2: fast track there should be points. Do you expect the

586
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 2: Vikings bounce back offensively? Though? I think they'll show much

587
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 2: better Monday night than they showed Sunday night versus Detroit

588
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 2: Or is that just you know, you know, just kind

589
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 2: of shooting babes at the moon on that one.

590
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 3: No, I think they will, And you know, the kind

591
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 3: of misnomer about that game, Darnald. They had people open

592
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 3: against Detroit.

593
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 5: You know, Darnald of got spooked. You know, saw ghosts, right.

594
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 3: You know that right, the whole thing from years ago, right,

595
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 3: you missed Jefferson actually street straight plays, you know in

596
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 3: the end zone there in that one drive. So they

597
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 3: had guys right, and and that was in Detroit in

598
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 3: that environment, which is not easy to play with. Jordan

599
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 3: Love based that same thing about a month ago. He

600
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 3: finally got himself under control.

601
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 5: And Darnald never really did. But it's going to be

602
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 5: a different environment.

603
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 3: They're well coached with Kevin O'Connell.

604
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 5: I think he'll bump back.

605
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 3: They got really good receivers and I don't think the

606
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 3: Rams and a neutral field, they're going to do the

607
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,479
Speaker 3: same thing that the Lions to him as far as

608
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 3: spooking him and won that they'll.

609
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 5: Be better prepared and they'll prepare for this.

610
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 3: They just face that they're going to correct that and

611
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 3: they'll they'll get better prepared.

612
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 2: One last footnote. This is Sean mcvay's twelfth playoff game

613
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 2: as a head coach, Kevin mco'connell's second, he's own one.

614
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 2: They lost to Daniel Jones a couple of years ago.

615
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 2: If you recall, uh, do you factor in coaching into

616
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 2: this game in terms of should you elect to fire

617
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 2: on the side come Monday? Because Sean McVay has been

618
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 2: there and as much as I left Kevin O'Connell. Of course,

619
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 2: coincidentally O'Connell was standing next to Sean McVay when they

620
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 2: won their Super Bowl. The coaching experience advantage that the

621
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 2: Rams might bring to the do bring to this game?

622
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 2: Do you factor that into your handicap?

623
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 3: I mean he could and you know, you go back

624
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago and they lost. That was

625
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 3: a team that won a ton of post games, which

626
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 3: they did this year. But you know they're they're net

627
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 3: point differential. I forget what it was, but let's just

628
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 3: call it.

629
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 5: About even right they were.

630
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 3: You know, they got lucky or fortunate if you if

631
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 3: you want, in a lot of games this year.

632
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 5: Obviously it's a much better team.

633
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 3: They've got a very good deep into whatnot. But I

634
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 3: will say, I mean Stafford's going to be prepared for

635
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 3: anything that Brian Flores throws at him. You know, obviously

636
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 3: McVay has been there a lot more, but O'Connell. You know,

637
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 3: he's made some mistakes on the sideline here recently too,

638
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 3: so you know, I haven't really factored that in, but

639
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 3: I would trust that they a little bit more in

640
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 3: a pressure moment than O'Connell. As much as I respect O'Connell,

641
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,719
Speaker 3: think he's a great coach, but you know, you got

642
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 3: to see him a little bit more because he has

643
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 3: made some mistakes here in the last couple of weeks coaching.

644
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 2: Wrapping it up with Scott Kellen at sixth Sense Sports

645
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 2: on Twitter, recent winner of the Las Vegas view Journal

646
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 2: NFL Challenge. All Right, I brain cramped on this, but

647
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 2: I fixed it. I do not expect Denver to prevail

648
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 2: in Buffalo, which means, if we look ahead to next week,

649
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 2: let's assume that the Chiefs opening opponent will be the

650
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 2: aforementioned Houston Texans, and Baltimore will travel to Buffalo. As

651
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 2: Buffalo is the number two seed and the Ravens are

652
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 2: the number three seed. Let's just take a quick, super

653
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 2: quick look ahead and have a little fun. I feel

654
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,479
Speaker 2: like the Chiefs would most likely be laying at least

655
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 2: seven to the Texans. That that sounds about right, and

656
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 2: Buffalo probably a field goal to the Ravens. I'm just

657
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 2: throwing that out their thoughts.

658
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 3: I think you're probably right in the buffalo one the

659
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 3: Chiefs one. You know, I was talking to something else

660
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 3: earlier tonight and they laid three against Houston a few

661
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 3: weeks ago, which kind of blows my mind. You know,

662
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 3: I was saying, it's probably got to be at least

663
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 3: six points. I would think, Bernie, maybe seven. To your point,

664
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 3: they're coming off to buy and yeah, like I said,

665
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 3: I think you're white buffalo. That seem's got to be

666
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 3: sitting right around the field goal, you know, give or take.

667
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 2: I just feel like the way the Chiefs have performed

668
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 2: forget Week seven eighteen against Denver, you throw that out,

669
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,320
Speaker 2: but when you look at the three and oh stretch

670
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 2: in those eleven days, when the Chiefs really put it

671
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,760
Speaker 2: together and they're getting players back, and they were scoring

672
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 2: thirty four points a game and winning by margin and

673
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 2: really clicking on all three cylinders, right, it just feels

674
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 2: like you got to put up a number where the books,

675
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 2: you know, could minimize risk, and you're going to have

676
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 2: to pay a Chief's tax, I feel if you're going

677
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 2: to ride them. So just a thought but would you

678
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 2: expect both home teams to prevail next week or do

679
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 2: you think Baltimore heads into Buffalo and steals it.

680
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 3: You know, if I was getting we'll see what happens Tomile,

681
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 3: you know, but if I was getting three with Baltimore

682
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 3: at Buffalo, I would probably lean to take that three

683
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 3: two and a half.

684
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 5: I probably wouldn't play it.

685
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 3: And you know Kansas City they won that game twenty

686
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 3: seven to nineteen back on December twenty first.

687
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 5: Just looking that up against Houston, I think I think

688
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 5: it's gonna be a very very tough matchup for Houston.

689
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 3: You know, they're decimated, their offensive line is not good.

690
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 3: You know they protected today. But I think that's that's

691
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,760
Speaker 3: gonna be a very very tough matchup. You know, they're

692
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 3: they're an average team as well. They were in the

693
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 3: right situation today at home play another average team. But

694
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 3: they're not going to be playing an average team next week.

695
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 3: I think I think they will. They will struggle next week.

696
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 2: All right, great stuff as always, Scott, Good luck your

697
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 2: plays on Sunday.

698
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 3: We'll talk soon, man, all right, Thanks Verdin enjoying the

699
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 3: game tomorrow.

700
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 2: Thanks that is Scott Kellen follow him on Twitter at

Speaker 2: sixth Sense Sports, recent winner of the Las Vegas Review

702
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 2: Journal NFL Handicapping Challenge. Coming up later in the show,

703
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 2: I'm going to rank the NFL openings, Which one do

704
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 2: I think is best? And ranked them all the way

705
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 2: to worst. And what's interesting, what I would consider to

706
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 2: be one of the more difficult jobs. All of a sudden,

707
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 2: you keep hearing this name. I don't know if I

708
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 2: buy it. There's one particular team that apparently has Ben

709
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 2: Johnson as a coveted candidate, and a lot of reputable

710
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 2: people say this is really picking up steam. I'll tell

711
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 2: you what I found out, but I'm not sure I

712
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 2: believe it. We'll tackle that coming up. I'm Bernie Fraddleworck

720
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 2: taking up to three m Pacific, six am Eastern. Just

721
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 2: getting started, well, If there's one thing I know about

722
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 2: Mark Davis, she doesn't mind paying people to not work

723
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 2: for him. Except the four coaches now, which means they're

724
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 2: in the market for a coach, having relieved Antonio Pears

725
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 2: of his duties and Tom Telesco of his duties as well,

726
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 2: and names are emerging as to who potentially could be

727
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 2: the raiders next head coach. Steve Spagnolo currently the Chiefs

728
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator. He's been facing the Raiders twice a year

729
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 2: for the last six years and he's earned his way

730
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 2: back into the mix. Pete Carroll, it's my understanding we'll

731
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 2: interview with the Raiders this week, and don't pooh pooh

732
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 2: this idea. This guy's been there, done that, five NFC

733
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 2: West titles, two NFC championships, won a Super Bowl, ten

734
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,760
Speaker 2: playoff wins. Coach the Seahawks for fourteen years, won sixty

735
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 2: one percent of his games. The Raiders, I think need

736
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 2: somebody who's not learning on the job. But Aaron Glenn

737
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 2: is drawing attention as well. Glenn's currently the Lions defensive coordinator.

738
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 2: He's done a little bit of everything in the National

739
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 2: Football League is kind of a viable option. He was

740
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 2: a three time pro bowler with the New York Jets

741
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 2: as a player, and then of course he got his

742
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 2: feet wet with the assist being his coaching career a

743
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 2: few years ago with the Cleveland Browns, who was named

744
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 2: the lines defensive coordinator three years ago. And he has

745
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 2: produced a top unit in the league, no question, and

746
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 2: he is gonna get interviews, it's my understanding. He's he

747
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 2: either interviewed with the Raiders Friday or he's set to

748
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 2: interview with the Raiders this coming week. Which leaves the

749
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 2: one guy that appears to have emerged as the hot

750
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 2: guy that the Raiders have their eyes on, and that is,

751
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 2: of course, Ben Johnson. Ben Johnson is the moment's rage,

752
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 2: the thirty eight year old offensive coordinator genius for the

753
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions. It appears that the presence of Tom Brady

754
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 2: is looming large, and Brady spent about an hour talking

755
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,919
Speaker 2: to Ben Johnson, I think virtually give him an idea

756
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 2: what Vegas would be like. And a lot of very

757
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 2: reputable reporters saying that Ben Johnson is picking up way

758
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 2: more steam in league circles in the last couple of

759
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 2: days and Brady is out not recruiting Ben Johnson, Do

760
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 2: I know this to be true? I don't know. I

761
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 2: mean other guys have been mentioned as well, so we're

762
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 2: gonna have to watch it. Meanwhile, Ben Johnson is busy

763
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 2: at the moment coming up Medina Magic, Little NBA. Keep

00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 2: we have this gentleman on every Saturday night at midnight,

773
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 2: and we always close by saying you never know what

774
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 2: the news cycle will bring the following week, and it's uncanny,

775
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 2: but it always does. And this week it's a bit

776
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 2: more of a serious nature. So let's say this. It's

777
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 2: that time. Mark Medina, Medina Magic, our Fox Sports Radio

778
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,720
Speaker 2: NBA guru comes to us every Saturday night at midnight

779
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 2: Pacific on the Bernie Frattle Show, Mark, good evening, how

780
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 2: are you.

781
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 6: I'm hanging in. I wish we had more enjoyable storylines

782
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 6: to talk about the you know, the LA wildfire affect

783
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 6: in Laker and Clipper games. But here we are, all.

784
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 2: Right, So look, we really can't bury the lead. You're

785
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 2: right there in southern California, and we both know that

786
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 2: the Lakers and Clippers game were both canceled Saturday night,

787
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 2: as they should have been. Even my show was preempted

788
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 2: last night as it should have been. People's safety and

789
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 2: well being is paramount, and you have limited resources. But Mark,

790
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 2: you're there in the belly of the beast. What can

791
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 2: you tell us about what's happening. Let's start at thirty

792
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 2: thousand feet and we'll descend into NBA talk.

793
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, the thirty thousand foot views that since Tuesday, there's

794
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 6: been a series of wildfires. The most notable one has

795
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 6: been in Pacific Palisades, but there's also been a few

796
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 6: others in the Woodland Hills in the Pasadena area and

797
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 6: the Pacific Palisades. One has been you know, really relentless.

798
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 6: And you know, there's a lot of notable NBA people

799
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 6: who have been affected. You know, JJ Reddick, the Lakers coach,

800
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 6: lost his rental home, and while it was a rental home,

801
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 6: you know, he had all his valuable family possessions there

802
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 6: with him. So he spoke after Laker practice on Friday,

803
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:42,240
Speaker 6: just showing the whole gambit of emotions. You know, Steve Kerr,

804
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 6: his mom lost her home and that was his childhood home.

805
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 6: There are a few other Lakers staffers that lost her

806
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 6: home too, So it's been very you know, very hard

807
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 6: to really process all this. But I think JJ really

808
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 6: encapsulated all there in emotion. As I mentioned, he talked

809
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 6: about the loss of his home, but he also talked

810
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 6: about the perspective of you know, him knowing that you know,

811
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 6: he's going to be relatively in a better position, but

812
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,839
Speaker 6: he wants to use this platform to try to help

813
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,399
Speaker 6: others and we'll see what happens. And he also made

814
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 6: it clear that he wants to be able to coach

815
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 6: an NBA game soon because this is have a nice

816
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 6: escape for him and a safe haven because it's been

817
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 6: a very tough week.

818
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 2: Mark, I want to I have a couple of quick

819
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 2: questions about JJ Redick in his comments, But can you

820
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 2: tell us to what degree do they have the palisades

821
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 2: of fire under control. I've heard eleven percent. I don't

822
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 2: even know it. I don't even know how to begin

823
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 2: this conversation.

824
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 6: So yeah, tell what you Yeah, from what I read,

825
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 6: you know, it's eleven percent. So that's it's a ways

826
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 6: to go. They're thankfully some of the wind died down,

827
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 6: but they're expecting the win to pick back up. And uh,

828
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 6: you know, from again what I read, fire officials are

829
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 6: remaining in you know, weather walks through Wednesday. So many

830
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 6: idea that this is going to subside. Now it's it's

831
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,240
Speaker 6: just not happening. And you know, as it pertains the NBA,

832
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,359
Speaker 6: I know that's not the most important thing, but when

833
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 6: we're talking about rescheduling games with the Lakers and Clippers,

834
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 6: you know, the Lakers obviously have hope that they can

835
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 6: play San Antonio Monday, Miami Wednesday, Brooklyn Friday. I mean,

836
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 6: the Clippers even said their statement that you know, they

837
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 6: expect to play games against the Heat on Monday the

838
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 6: Nets on Wednesday. But if you're connecting the dots, I

839
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 6: just don't see it happening. And you know, nothing's been

840
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 6: necessarily determined. But the NBA so far have waited un

841
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 6: sot either the night before the morning of officially announced

842
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 6: that a game's postpone. So you know, it presents a

843
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 6: lot of logistical challenges scheduling nightmares. But the point that

844
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 6: you made, not only does it look bad, but I

845
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 6: think from a pragmatic practical standpoint, they don't want to

846
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 6: take away resources that can be you know, that can

847
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 6: be used for wildfire or release efforts, or response efforts

848
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 6: in terms of law enforcements, paramedics, you know, also just

849
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 6: traffic congestion. So yeah, I would be surprised we see

850
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 6: any LA games this week, but I guess you never know.

851
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 2: I thought JJ Riddick was poignant. He was very hart

852
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 2: felt in his comments and went so far as to

853
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 2: say he would like to see the games get back

854
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,760
Speaker 2: on the floor. In a sense, they give people hope

855
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:40,280
Speaker 2: and they provide a diversion. And so you basically answered

856
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 2: the next question I was going to ask, and that is,

857
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 2: even though there are three games on the doctor for

858
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 2: the Lakers this week, you would be your assertion that

859
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 2: it's unlikely they play any of them. Is that fair

860
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 2: or am I looking too far ahead?

861
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: Yeah?

862
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 6: I mean, look, this is all day to day and

863
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 6: it's fluid.

864
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 5: But this is this is just.

865
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,280
Speaker 6: Me connecting the dots. This isn't anyone in the NBA

866
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 6: or the Lake with Floppers saying these things. It's just

867
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 6: me connecting the dots. And as much as JJ Reddick said, yeah,

868
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 6: I would like to coach a game, he wanted to coach,

869
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 6: you know, the game that will schedule for Saturday against Antonio,

870
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 6: he also said that, you know, we want to do

871
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 6: everything we can within the safety parameters of what's going

872
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 6: on in the city. So yeah, I mean, his wishes

873
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 6: our secondary. I think he's obviously more concerned about the

874
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 6: issue at large, but just from a competitive standpoint, and

875
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,359
Speaker 6: also the fact that you know, this is a nice

876
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 6: outlets for him. He'd want to hit the ground running,

877
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 6: but obviously he understands he can't. But it was fascinating,

878
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 6: I shouldn't say fascinating. It was just very revealing to

879
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 6: see how much even a practice that the Lakers had

880
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 6: on a Friday minton. You know, you're you're talking about

881
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 6: a coach who's played a lot of games as a

882
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 6: professional athlete and this is part of the routine. But

883
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 6: this really encapsulates how even this kind of day to

884
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 6: day thing can give a lot of people meeting during

885
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 6: a tough moment, and we shouldn't take that lightly. Even

886
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 6: though you know they're multi millionaire coaches and players, so

887
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 6: they view this profession as something that can help him

888
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 6: through rough times.

889
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 2: I do think there's samarit though to what JJ Reddick said,

890
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:24,800
Speaker 2: at some point, people do need that diversion. Allow me

891
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,479
Speaker 2: a little latitude. We're going to go off the rails

892
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 2: a little bit here. Right after nine to one one,

893
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 2: ten days he didn't play Major League baseball, and Keith

894
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 2: Oberman tells his story. He finally went out to walk

895
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 2: the streets the day that Major League Baseball was going

896
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 2: to resume, and he came across an officer who recognized

897
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 2: him and said that, Keith, you think we're going to

898
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 2: be all right? And Keith goes, look around, man, I

899
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 2: don't know, and he goes, no, no, Keith, I'm talking about

900
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 2: the Mets. The Mets had. The Mets had a great

901
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,240
Speaker 2: winning streak before nine one one, and I'm concerned if

902
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 2: they're going to lose momentum. And Oberman looked at him

903
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 2: and says, officer, how could that possibly matter? He said,

904
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 2: Keith I'm not stupid. I know the names. The games

905
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 2: don't matter. However, I get off my ten hour shift,

906
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 2: I go home tonight, I got my spot marked out

907
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 2: on the couch. I'm going to watch the Mets and

908
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,720
Speaker 2: for three hours I can give myself a mental rest

909
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 2: and pretend that the games really do matter. So what

910
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 2: these athletes do, they do provide a service. I do

911
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 2: think they're samaric to what JJ Redick.

912
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 6: Said, Yeah, without a doubt. And look, you hit on

913
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 6: a great note. And these aren't mutually exclusive. I think

914
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 6: this specific tragedy with the wildfire provides a new wrinkle

915
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 6: that's still ongoing. And so I think that's that's the

916
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 6: challenge here. You've also add in the fact that there

917
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 6: are a lot of people that are personally affected. Take

918
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 6: JJ Reddick. You know, so far, as far as I know,

919
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 6: Kawhi Leonard hasn't lost his home, but he has a

920
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 6: place of Pacific Palaces. Lebron James is a place in Brentwood,

921
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 6: and you know that place, you know, Brentwood is now

922
00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 6: under some concern on whether they'll, you know, have the

923
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 6: Pacific Palacid fire spread in that area. But I think,

924
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 6: you know, there's the personal but also it's just the

925
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 6: fact that it's still ongoing. They don't want to compromise

926
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 6: the relief efforts. To your point about this being a

927
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 6: really good thing to rally the community without a doubt,

928
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 6: but after the fact. So once the fire is, you know, eliminated,

929
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 6: and now they start to slow painful but necessary steps

930
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 6: toward rebuilding, a small part of that, but a significant

931
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 6: part of that will be about having sports come back.

932
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,760
Speaker 6: So I'm with you one hundred percent. These things don't

933
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 6: have to be mutually exclusive. It's just a timing issue

934
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 6: at this point.

935
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 2: By the way, it's my understanding the Clippers are on

936
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 2: the road when these fires really got serious, and it's

937
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,439
Speaker 2: my understanding Kawhi Leonard left the team, didn't even play

938
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 2: the game and came back home.

939
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, and we're going to have more answers, not just

940
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 6: on Kawhi, but really the team is felt because they

941
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 6: are scheduled to practice on Sunday at into a dome

942
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 6: in Inglewood, and look, the practices are much different than

943
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 6: games because you don't have to worry about another opponent,

944
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 6: traffic congestion where we're talking about law enforce and paramedics,

945
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 6: and into a dome and inglewood that's not close to fires.

946
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 6: But it's going to be meaningful for the Clippers to gather.

947
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 6: But it's also going to be meaningful for us that

948
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 6: we'll get some answers to these questions on how are

949
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:30,760
Speaker 6: yellas affected, where things stand, and where they go from here.

950
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 2: All right, let's at least hit a couple of NBA

951
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 2: points headlines. As it were, we talked at length about

952
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler last week. At least in the last week,

953
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,760
Speaker 2: it doesn't appear in Miami's any closer to finding someone

954
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 2: a dance partner that would take them off their hands,

955
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 2: and it's looking more and more likely that there's not

956
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 2: going to be a deal before the February sixth trade deadline.

957
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 2: Plus Butler wants a contact extension that doesn't help matters.

958
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 2: What's the end game here as we stand on January twelfth.

959
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think the endgame is saying who blinks first,

960
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 6: Jimmy Butler or pat Riley, And those are people that

961
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 6: don't blink a lot. So I think, if I had

962
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 6: a guess, I think Jimmy Butler actually stays with the

963
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 6: heat pass the trade deadline, which is February sixth, now

964
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 6: the fact that nothing has happened yet. You know, people

965
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 6: always operate on deadlines, are still about three weeks away,

966
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 6: but the math just doesn't add up. Jimmy Butler wants

967
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 6: to be traded, but he also doesn't want to be

968
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,240
Speaker 6: trade just any team. He basically wants to be traded

969
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:41,760
Speaker 6: with Phoenix Suns, but the Phoenix Suns don't have anything

970
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 6: to give up unless it's Bradley Beal, but he has

971
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 6: his own issues with his injuries, his large contract, and

972
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:51,359
Speaker 6: the Miami Heat would much rather have cap flexibility next

973
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 6: season than taking on another contract, especially someone who hasn't

974
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 6: had great durability history. So pat Riley has made it

975
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 6: known publicly he'll listen to trade offers, he's just not

976
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 6: going to find any that suits his expectations, and what

977
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:13,959
Speaker 6: his expectations are is that they're still a competitive playoff team.

978
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 6: I think with Jimmy Butler, he's going to be upset,

979
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 6: but the reality is he can make fifty two million

980
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 6: dollars by exercising player option this upcoming summer, even though

981
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 6: he's had a lot of injuries this past season or

982
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 6: in last season as well. So I think that cooler

983
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 6: heads will prevail, not because they suddenly have this kinship.

984
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 6: But this is the best option available and that they'll

985
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 6: get through the season together and then they'll see what

986
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 6: happens in the summer. But if I'm Jimmy Butler, there's

987
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 6: no better option than to literally exercise this flatter option

988
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 6: because the markets are not going to be there for

989
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 6: him to get the equivalent of fifty two million dollars.

990
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,919
Speaker 2: Tal with Mark Mdein and Medina Manager Fox Sports Radio

991
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 2: NBA Guru every Saturday night, twelve midnight Pacific on the

992
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 2: Bernie Frattle Show. Mark in the summer at twenty nineteen,

993
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 2: it's one of the last years I covered the NBA

994
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:16,280
Speaker 2: Summer League. I saw Zion Williamson. I'm close and personal

995
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 2: thought he had a chance to be an absolute transcendent

996
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 2: player because of his physical abilities. Recently missed twenty seven

997
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 2: games with the hamstring issue. Returns Tuesday, scores of you know,

998
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:31,240
Speaker 2: twenty two points, but they lose and then he misses

999
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 2: a team flight and he's suspended a game. All right,

1000
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,400
Speaker 2: I gotta ask you, is it time for the Pelicans

1001
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 2: to move off of Zion Williamson and perhaps try to

1002
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:44,760
Speaker 2: get some trade value. Why they can? They're going nowhere

1003
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 2: fast or way under five hundred. This just hasn't worked

1004
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 2: out your.

1005
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 6: Thoughts, Yeah, it's always under the guise of what would

1006
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 6: the deal look like. But I think as far as

1007
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 6: how they feel about Zion Williamson, yes, I think that

1008
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 6: they have to entertain that because it's not just about

1009
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 6: Dion Williamson's injury history that's bad enough, but just how

1010
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 6: he is as a professional. And all I can say

1011
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 6: is when I talk to people in the Pelicans organization,

1012
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,240
Speaker 6: they always go to bat form, whether it's people behind

1013
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 6: the scenes or teammates on the record, they always talk

1014
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 6: about how he's had such an improved work ethic and

1015
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 6: he's early gained after behind the scenes, but there's always

1016
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 6: all these other things that suggest otherwise, and for him

1017
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 6: to miss the team flight, it's just unacceptable, and unfortunately,

1018
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 6: this is one of many examples. I remember when CJ.

1019
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:42,760
Speaker 6: McCollum was trade as the Pelicans, it took some time

1020
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 6: for Dan to actually even reach out to J like

1021
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 6: that's just a very standard normal thing. And I think

1022
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 6: it was telling that JJ Reddick, then as an ESPN analyst,

1023
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 6: called out Zion and his words meant a lot, not

1024
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:59,359
Speaker 6: just because JJ's a former NBA player, but he's one

1025
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 6: of Zion's former teammates, and so yeah, if I'm the Pelicans,

1026
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:07,320
Speaker 6: I think, you know what, it's not worth the hassle. Again,

1027
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 6: it has to be the right deal. You can't just

1028
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 6: trade Zion for scrap and sheet metal. But if you

1029
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 6: have a collection of talent and draft picks, I think

1030
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:19,879
Speaker 6: they have to think long and hard about this. Because

1031
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 6: it's in the same old story every single season.

1032
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 2: I think it's becoming a huge distraction. We're talking, you know.

1033
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 2: Bran Stricky once said, we finished last with you, we

1034
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 2: can finish last without you. The Pelicans have won eight

1035
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 2: games this year. Yeah, I mean, my goodness, they're eight

1036
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 2: and thirty one. So it's all right. Last thing, Mark,

1037
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 2: I'm surprised this hasn't been a little bit more of

1038
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,359
Speaker 2: a story. We got to follow this, you know, break up.

1039
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 2: The Detroit Pistons eight and two in their last ten.

1040
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:48,240
Speaker 2: They've won the same number of games as the Los

1041
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:52,800
Speaker 2: Angeles Lakers, and the coaching change seems to have worked.

1042
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:54,879
Speaker 2: Absolute one. As we talk about the great job Kenny

1043
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:59,320
Speaker 2: Atkinson is doing in Cleveland, but the new coach in Detroit,

1044
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:05,720
Speaker 2: I mean, can you attribute Detroit's success to because clearly

1045
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 2: they're dramatically improved over last year.

1046
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, Jamie Vicker Seph has really had an impact

1047
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 6: on the group. It's about there's a lot of seriousness

1048
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 6: to it. But I think Kate Cunningham has taken his

1049
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:21,719
Speaker 6: game to another level. But they have a lot of good,

1050
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:25,359
Speaker 6: mature young players of Jane and Ivy, Malik Beasley. I

1051
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 6: talked with Malik Beasley a few weeks ago and he

1052
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 6: was talking about as him he has set up what

1053
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,799
Speaker 6: he calls the Breakfast Club where he does a lot

1054
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 6: of off or not off season, but you know, workouts

1055
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 6: before shoot around and practices early in the morning. And

1056
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:45,360
Speaker 6: he does it by himself, but a lot of the

1057
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:47,799
Speaker 6: other players have followed suit with him, and I think

1058
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 6: it's been a complete attitude adjustment, where last year was

1059
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 6: this guy trying to, you know, get their own numbers

1060
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 6: and hunt for things. Mattie Williams is a proven coach,

1061
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 6: but clearly he didn't have a sense of structure with

1062
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:03,759
Speaker 6: the team. It's a complete opposite here.

1063
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 2: JB.

1064
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:07,959
Speaker 6: Bickerstaff is very well respected. The team likes each other,

1065
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 6: They get team dinners, they hang out, they practice hard,

1066
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 6: They compete hard, and then from next As an o standpoint,

1067
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 6: the league, Busy's a great three point shooter, Kate Cunningham

1068
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 6: is a consistent score They've been a lot more improved offensively,

1069
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:28,799
Speaker 6: and they also have high expectations of themselves that it's

1070
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:31,879
Speaker 6: not just about Okay, can they be a playoff team?

1071
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 6: They do think that, but they're also thinking about wanting

1072
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,799
Speaker 6: to make an oiste beyond the first round. Look, when

1073
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 6: I'm looking at the Eastern Conference landscape, I think it's

1074
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 6: Cleveland Boston at the end of the day for obvious reasons.

1075
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:46,319
Speaker 6: But yeah, you have the first round, the second round

1076
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 6: to play, and I could see Detroit being a tough

1077
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:49,839
Speaker 6: outum out of the round.

1078
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 2: Well, it's the season end today, they're in the playing tournament,

1079
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's quite an accomplishment to that end lasting

1080
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 2: at this time next week when weckets, it's entirely possible

1081
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:07,800
Speaker 2: the Lakers will have missed six games. What contingency plans

1082
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 2: does the NBA have to make those games up or

1083
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 2: will they? Considering the Lakers are going to be in

1084
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 2: the throws of another battle, it appears to me in

1085
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 2: the playing.

1086
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 6: Round, well, they have to make up the games because

1087
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 6: it's not equitable for every other team, and obviously that

1088
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 6: Lakers and Clippers have revenue reasons don't want to have

1089
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 6: these games. It's going to be It's not similar to

1090
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 6: the pandemic and the bubble, because that was a whole

1091
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 6: set of problems. That's the same philosophy. The NBA is

1092
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 6: choosing the best of that option. So part of that

1093
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 6: is just how this fire plays out. Ideally, they play

1094
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 6: in their home markets because fans from both the Lakers

1095
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 6: and Clippers locally want to be able to go to

1096
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 6: the games. The Lakers and Clippers plan to honor you know,

1097
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 6: those tickets that were bought, and considering what happened with

1098
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 6: the fire, this is to your point, going to be

1099
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 6: a nice way to galvin I as the community. But

1100
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 6: you know, I wouldn't rule out that they have at

1101
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 6: a neutral site, you know, maybe in Vegas, maybe in

1102
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 6: San Diego, just so they can complete the games. But

1103
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 6: that's not ideal because for the fans I bought to

1104
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:15,479
Speaker 6: take us, even though they're honor, now they have to

1105
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 6: take a flight or take a long commute, and not

1106
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 6: all of them will be able to do that. Obviously,

1107
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 6: they have the home court ramifications or lack thereof, but

1108
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 6: you got to complete the games at some point. The

1109
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 6: longer way it's, the more complicated it can.

1110
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 2: I know they'll play the games. I didn't pose the

1111
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 2: question properly, but if you have to make up let's

1112
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 2: just say six games and they're bunched up, it seems

1113
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 2: like that creates a bit of a competitive disadvantage when

1114
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 2: you know Lebron isn't getting any younger. And I've often

1115
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 2: argued that, while I take nothing away from the Lakers

1116
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 2: winning in the Bubble, they didn't have to travel for

1117
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 2: two months and got to lick their wounds, and they

1118
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 2: didn't have to travel during the playoffs, so that mattered

1119
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 2: to me. Not all rest is created equal when it

1120
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 2: comes to age and relative health of players. So think

1121
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 2: about that aspect of it. The logistics of having to

1122
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 2: squeeze in six more games, maybe in March or April,

1123
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 2: at the time when they really need their rest and

1124
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 2: they need to win those games.

1125
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I mean they're not going to ply them

1126
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 6: back to back to back to back, but it's going

1127
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 6: to be a scheduling crunch regardless. And right now, you know,

1128
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 6: it's been obviously very tough for both teams because of

1129
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:33,400
Speaker 6: what's going on with Fire, but purely from a basketball standpoint,

1130
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 6: they've had time to rest, recouper rate, get some practice

1131
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 6: time in. But it's going to be the complete opposite

1132
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:42,720
Speaker 6: once they complete these teams. The only thing that makes this,

1133
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 6: you know, relatively more manageable than otherwise is the fact

1134
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 6: that the San Antonio Spurs and Charlot Hornets were slay

1135
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 6: to play the Lakers and the Clippers all on the

1136
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:56,920
Speaker 6: same trip. So maybe because of that they can ensure

1137
00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 6: both a visiting teams are in that way for a

1138
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 6: little bit of time. But at the same time, both

1139
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 6: the Spurs and the Horns have the rest of their

1140
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:08,280
Speaker 6: schedule to have to play both on the road and

1141
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 6: at home. So I'm just cloud. I'm not, you know,

1142
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 6: working with any of the venues, and I'm the cloud.

1143
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 6: I'm not working with the league office, with the gurus

1144
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 6: that handle these schedules, because this just seems like a

1145
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 6: puzzle that can never be properly solved.

1146
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 2: All right, great stuff, as always, Mark, get some rest, buddy,

1147
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 2: we'll talk. We'll talk in seven days.

1148
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:31,280
Speaker 6: All right, sounds good. Hopefully it's about.

1149
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 2: Basketball, yes, mart Medina, Medina Magic Every Saturday night, twelve

1150
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 2: midnight Pacific PST on the Bernie Fraters Show. Clearly you

1151
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 2: can see he has his finger on the pulse. And

1152
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 2: you know, as we march towards spring, it's when the

1153
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 2: news and the attention and the NBA is tuned up,

1154
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 2: especially after March manage. We like to cover the stories

1155
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 2: as they happen. Speaking of stories as well, you're going

1156
01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 2: to hear more and more of it day by day.

1157
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 2: The coaching carousel alive and kicking of the six openings,

1158
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 2: and it looks like Mike McCarthy is negotiating with the

1159
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 2: Cowboys to be retained. So it looks like to be

1160
01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 2: six openings. Which ones do I think of the best

1161
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:21,160
Speaker 2: and what about the other ones? Well, I'll share my

1162
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 2: thoughts on that. Coming up, I'm Bernie Fradda. We're coming

1163
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 2: to your line from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio

1164
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 2: Tirac dot com studios. Don't go away. You're listening to

1165
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:32,919
Speaker 2: the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio. We are

1166
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 2: back on the Bernie Frattle Show. I'm Bernie Fradda. We

1167
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:39,960
Speaker 2: are coming to line from the Las Vegas Foxsports Radio

1168
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 2: Tyraq dot com studios. Take you up to three am Pacific,

1169
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:49,040
Speaker 2: six am Eastern. As you know, there are currently six

1170
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 2: openings in the National Football League. We are told that

1171
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:57,720
Speaker 2: Mike Vrabel is honing in on being the Patriots next coach,

1172
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 2: and it looks like Mike McCarthy is in earnest negotiations

1173
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:05,200
Speaker 2: with Jerry Jones to come back, and hell, why not.

1174
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 2: That's that's a very Jerry Jones esque thing to do.

1175
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 2: Apparently doesn't care if he ever wins enough Super Bowl.

1176
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 2: Nothing against Mike McCarthy twelve and five, twelve and five,

1177
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 2: twelve and five, and then this year. Okay, you get

1178
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 2: where I'm going with that. Whatever, have fun, enjoy your day.

1179
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:22,600
Speaker 2: Which jobs are the best? I know this is highly subjective,

1180
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 2: but you know which job I think might be the best?

1181
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:34,919
Speaker 2: The Bears Chicago. Okay, you got a quarterback and you could.

1182
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 2: I think it's fair to say. He's a promising young quarterback,

1183
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 2: and he's on a rookie contract, and he's on a

1184
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 2: roster that has some talent. And I think Caleb Williams

1185
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 2: showed me a lot more than Justin Fields ever did,

1186
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 2: who remains fourteen and thirty as a starter and is

1187
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 2: a glorified college version of an option to read only quarterback.

1188
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams showed me something a little different. I'm not

1189
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 2: a huge fan, but he if you go there, you're

1190
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 2: not worried about getting a quarterback. Now, there's some other

1191
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:12,320
Speaker 2: things to take into consideration. The NFC North is brutal,

1192
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 2: but even though Chicago was one in five in their

1193
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 2: divisional games, they were a lot more competitive than that

1194
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 2: divisional record shows they had. You know, they lost three

1195
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:29,600
Speaker 2: games to there are three teams in the playoffs. Detroit, Minnesota,

1196
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 2: and Green Bay lost to those three teams by combined

1197
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:37,080
Speaker 2: five points plus. If you're in the mood to spend money,

1198
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 2: the Bears have eighty million in cap space, and we'll

1199
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:45,440
Speaker 2: gain an additional twelve and a half million if they

1200
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 2: end up cutting Cole Comet and jerre Le Everett. Now,

1201
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 2: most of that money I think needs to be used

1202
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:55,240
Speaker 2: to you know, their the glaring weakness is their offense

1203
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:58,920
Speaker 2: and defensive lines. But they've got the tenth pick overall,

1204
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 2: and they got s got a draft capital. Right. The

1205
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:06,640
Speaker 2: problem is there may be some instability if they retain

1206
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 2: Ryan Poles, which it looks like they are. If you're

1207
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:13,720
Speaker 2: hired there and a new GM comes in you know,

1208
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 2: it's fair to wonder what's my future if the GM

1209
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:22,200
Speaker 2: who hires me is gone. And I don't really know

1210
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 2: what the hell the Bears look are looking for. I

1211
01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 2: don't know if they know what they're looking for. They

1212
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 2: requested interviews with fourteen candidates, and I understand the rationale.

1213
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 2: You know, they want guys on the defensive side, guys

1214
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:36,800
Speaker 2: on the offensive side, Guys who've been head coaches, guys

1215
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 2: who've never been head coaches. You know, guys who like,

1216
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 2: you know, eggs and their beer. I don't know whatever.

1217
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 2: I either overthinking this part of it. They're talking to

1218
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:50,240
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll, I know people talk about his age. Look,

1219
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 2: you can either do the job, but you can I'm

1220
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 2: not really sure why they're talking to Matt Campbell from

1221
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 2: Iowa State. So I think they're overthinking it. But the

1222
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 2: job itself with the capspace the quarterback on a rookie contract,

1223
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 2: a roster that's not terrible, and in great city Chicago

1224
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 2: and can be Can you imagine how much of the

1225
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:12,360
Speaker 2: toast of the town you'd be if you were to

1226
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 2: resurrect the Bears and get them back into the national

1227
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 2: conversation and get them to an Yeah, an NFC Championship game. Yeah,

1228
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 2: it'd be good. I'll tell you another job I think's good. Laugh,

1229
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 2: clown laugh. The New England Patriots. Yeah, they were four

1230
01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:34,320
Speaker 2: and thirteen, and I know they have a beat reporter

1231
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:36,440
Speaker 2: by the name of Chad Graff who said the roster

1232
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 2: is among the worst in the league. He may not

1233
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 2: be wrong. But see if I'm on my way to

1234
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 2: be a head coach and I'm going to be an optimist,

1235
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 2: I'm going to be an optimist. And you say to yourself,

1236
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 2: all right, I'm taking over a team that's probably got

1237
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:56,280
Speaker 2: the worst offensive line. I've taken over a team that's

1238
01:05:57,080 --> 01:06:02,440
Speaker 2: probably got the least talented skill position group. We can

1239
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:07,640
Speaker 2: only go up. It's an opportunity to reshape things in

1240
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 2: the way that you see fit. You've got a blank

1241
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 2: canvas to genuinely build something there. Now they have a

1242
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:19,240
Speaker 2: stable owner and Robert Kraft, although he's not always you know,

1243
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:23,840
Speaker 2: he's not always lenient when it comes to spending cash.

1244
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 2: And you still got high expectations in New England, even

1245
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 2: though the dates of the Tom Brady, Bill Belichick are

1246
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 2: long gone. But you've kind of got a middling AFC East.

1247
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 2: The Jets are going nowhere fast. The Dolphins can't get

1248
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,320
Speaker 2: out of their own way. Buffalo's damn good. But you know,

1249
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 2: he get fourteen seven teams go to the playoffs, and

1250
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 2: they have some talent, and they also have a quarterback

1251
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:49,920
Speaker 2: that's important, drake Man or rookie year. And they have

1252
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 2: a cornerback out of a house, you know, Christian Zales.

1253
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 2: They have a way above average defensive tackle, Christian Barnmore. Okay,

1254
01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:02,200
Speaker 2: not a lot to say after that. But if you

1255
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 2: can be the architect of a team in New England

1256
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 2: where you've got a quarterback, I think I think it's

1257
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:14,480
Speaker 2: a good job. It's it's you got to overhaul the

1258
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:17,680
Speaker 2: whole thing. But remember New England's got the fourth pick,

1259
01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 2: and they got three. They got four picks in the

1260
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:24,960
Speaker 2: top seventy seven four picks, and I buried the lead.

1261
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:30,000
Speaker 2: Nobody has more cap space than New England. If they

1262
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 2: want to, they can spend one hundred and twenty four

1263
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 2: million dollars in cap space and they don't need to

1264
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:38,240
Speaker 2: buy a quarterback. They've got a quarterback on a rookie deal.

1265
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:42,000
Speaker 2: That's my understanding. Eric Glynn is interviewed. I don't think

1266
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 2: he'll get the job Ben Johnson. I know, I think

1267
01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:47,200
Speaker 2: there's less than zero chance Ben Johnson goes there. It

1268
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 2: looks like it's going to be Mike Vrabel. You know,

1269
01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:55,919
Speaker 2: a legend in New England, a former linebacker. You get

1270
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:59,040
Speaker 2: the drill and he had some good years in Tennessee

1271
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:05,440
Speaker 2: not learning on the job. Another NFL job that I

1272
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:10,680
Speaker 2: think is actually pretty good. Now, remember there are only

1273
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:14,240
Speaker 2: thirty two of these jobs in the entire world. All

1274
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:16,679
Speaker 2: the world can offer you is opportunity. All the NFL

1275
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:19,120
Speaker 2: can offer you is opportunity. What you do with it

1276
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:22,120
Speaker 2: is up to you. Wasn't that long ago that Cam

1277
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:24,439
Speaker 2: Newton and the Carolina Panthers took over a one in

1278
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:27,679
Speaker 2: fifteen team got to the super Bowl in a couple

1279
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 2: of years. Things can turn around fast if you have

1280
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 2: the right roster and the right leadership. Now the Jaguars,

1281
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:40,800
Speaker 2: these are the positives. They're in the AFC South for

1282
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:43,439
Speaker 2: the last three years. You win nine games or ten games,

1283
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:46,120
Speaker 2: that's good enough to win the damn division by the way.

1284
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 2: The Jags won it one year. They also have I

1285
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:54,680
Speaker 2: think enough young talent and critical positions to me that

1286
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:56,640
Speaker 2: it feels like they've underachieved. I don't know what the

1287
01:08:56,680 --> 01:09:00,519
Speaker 2: dealers with Trevor Lawrence. Somebody just hasn't gotten the best

1288
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:02,840
Speaker 2: out of him on a consistent basis yet. But how

1289
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:07,840
Speaker 2: about the wide receiver stud Brian Thomas, how about Walker Little?

1290
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:10,040
Speaker 2: They got an EDG Dresser and Josh Heines Allen and

1291
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:12,880
Speaker 2: another one in Trayvon Walker and those guys are locked

1292
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:15,040
Speaker 2: up for years, and they got the fifth overall pick

1293
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 2: this year. Plus, Unlike Robert Kraft, shot Con has a

1294
01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 2: willingness to spend cash and only spent twelve million on

1295
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 2: Urban Meyra. What'd that get him? The Jags are third

1296
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:34,200
Speaker 2: in the league in active spending, right behind the Eagles.

1297
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:37,559
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, Jacksonville in a bad place

1298
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 2: to live. You got nice weather and you get to

1299
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 2: go to London every year for free. Okay, I kid,

1300
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:46,040
Speaker 2: because I care. There are also some negatives there, but

1301
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 2: that's what happens. They see. And let's like, see Andy

1302
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:52,760
Speaker 2: Reid retires this year, you're going to be taking over

1303
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:55,040
Speaker 2: a franchise. It's not done well, that's just the way

1304
01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 2: it works. That's how these opportunities emerge. People typically don't

1305
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 2: change their coach for the all of it unless he retires,

1306
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:04,479
Speaker 2: So You're going to be taking over a franchise that's

1307
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:07,760
Speaker 2: been moribund for more than just a little while, right,

1308
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:12,120
Speaker 2: and they're going to be questions. Even though Trevor Lawrence

1309
01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:14,080
Speaker 2: is only twenty five years old, it feels like he's

1310
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:17,960
Speaker 2: been the league forever. He's got a fifty five million

1311
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:25,000
Speaker 2: dollar per season contract and frankly, Jacksonville doesn't exactly get

1312
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:28,280
Speaker 2: after the other team's quarterback very well. The other problem

1313
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:30,479
Speaker 2: you're going to have is you only have thirty six

1314
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:33,559
Speaker 2: million in cap space, but if they cut Christian Kirk

1315
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 2: and Josh Reynolds, you can find yourself another twenty million.

1316
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:42,639
Speaker 2: They're also appearing to bring back general manager Trent Balkey,

1317
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:47,800
Speaker 2: although again you hear the whispers blown in the wind

1318
01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:50,920
Speaker 2: that if that happens, it diminishes interest in the job.

1319
01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:55,080
Speaker 2: But if you think about it again, all these jobs

1320
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 2: have challenges, but the ones I just mentioned you've got

1321
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:03,120
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence, Caleb Williams, Drake May and each in their

1322
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:05,160
Speaker 2: own right, whether it's the division are in or the

1323
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:10,800
Speaker 2: cap space or the draft capital, you have an opportunity.

1324
01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 2: And then there are the other jobs, and I'm going

1325
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:18,000
Speaker 2: to talk about those coming up. Remember there are only

1326
01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:20,439
Speaker 2: thirty two jobs in the NFL period in the whole world.

1327
01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:24,040
Speaker 2: Looks like they're about six this year that are looking

1328
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 2: for coaches. And I won't count Dallas because it looks

1329
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:28,559
Speaker 2: like Dallas is going to lock up Mike McCarthy, that's

1330
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:31,559
Speaker 2: my guess. But I'll talk about these other jobs. By

1331
01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:34,840
Speaker 2: the way, shortly after the show, our podcast will be

1332
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:36,519

01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:53,280
Speaker 2: Right after we get off the air. Coming up, I

1338
01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:58,519
Speaker 2: delve into the remaining three jobs. These ones are going

1339
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:00,240
Speaker 2: to cause you to swallow a little bit hard, but

1340
01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:04,400
Speaker 2: again it's opportunity. I'm Bernie fraddlewic Kenedy Lyn from the

1341
01:12:04,439 --> 01:12:07,519
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio Tireck dot Com Studios. Keep

1342
01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:09,680
Speaker 2: it locked. You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show on

1343
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:12,599
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. All right, back on the Bernie Fraddle Show,

1344
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:15,040
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, coming to live from the Tarreck dot

1345
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 2: Com studios here at Las Vegas. We are in the

1346
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:21,840
Speaker 2: throes of the coaching carousel, talked about three potential jobs

1347
01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:26,000
Speaker 2: I think aren't bad Patriots Bears and Jacksonville Jaguars, and

1348
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:28,519
Speaker 2: then the other three. I'm gonna start with the Raiders

1349
01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:31,160
Speaker 2: right here in Las Vegas. I know they're honing in

1350
01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:33,439
Speaker 2: on Ben Johnson. Will that happen? I have no idea

1351
01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 2: it will be head coach number six of the Mark

1352
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 2: Davis tenure. And it's not gonna be Bill Belichick. Even

1353
01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:44,599
Speaker 2: though Tom Brady, I think, tried to make that happen.

1354
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 2: Still there's some selling points. Even though Tom Telesco's gone,

1355
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:52,200
Speaker 2: he brought in Brock Bowers, he brought in Guard Jackson,

1356
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:56,680
Speaker 2: Powers Johnson, those were good prospects. The Raiders have the

1357
01:12:56,880 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 2: league's third youngest roster, and they can add youth. They

1358
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:02,639
Speaker 2: got the number six pick and an extra third rounder

1359
01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:05,679
Speaker 2: thanks to the DeVante Adams trade. They have a couple

1360
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:09,000
Speaker 2: of foundational players and Christian Wilkins and Max Crosby. Max

1361
01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:11,559
Speaker 2: Crosby says he wants to stay here, but who knows.

1362
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:14,760
Speaker 2: He doesn't have any more guaranteed money. We shall see

1363
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:18,960
Speaker 2: what we shall see. But the Raiders also have the

1364
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:21,559
Speaker 2: second most camp space one hundred and seven million dollars

1365
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:25,639
Speaker 2: and a city that people want to be in, so

1366
01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:28,839
Speaker 2: free agents like coming here. But there's some critical negatives

1367
01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:32,880
Speaker 2: as well, primarily the fact that Las Vegas quarterbacks produce

1368
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:36,320
Speaker 2: the worst twenty twenty four passer rating of any team

1369
01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:40,720
Speaker 2: on all six openings in the NFL. I don't know

1370
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:43,200
Speaker 2: how they improve that either. Plus, you're in a major

1371
01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:47,679
Speaker 2: disadvantage because you're in the same division with Patrick Mahomes,

1372
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:51,599
Speaker 2: Bownix and Justin Herbert. The Raiders need a running back.

1373
01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:54,000
Speaker 2: Will they let Josh Jacobs out of town? Why would

1374
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:56,760
Speaker 2: you do that? Wide receiver? No one gives a damn

1375
01:13:56,800 --> 01:14:01,439
Speaker 2: about Devonty Adams. With the cornerbacks, guard, safeties, line not good,

1376
01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:04,400
Speaker 2: they need help everywhere. So it's a tough gig. But

1377
01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:12,000
Speaker 2: again it's opportunity. It's a National Football League man, Saints,

1378
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if this is a good job. I

1379
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:19,360
Speaker 2: don't know. New Orleans has some good draws. They have

1380
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:23,200
Speaker 2: an owner always willing to spend, which is not always

1381
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:26,360
Speaker 2: a case in every city. Again, they're in a very

1382
01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:32,559
Speaker 2: winnable NFC South, and the Saints actually have six picks

1383
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 2: in the first four rounds, including the number nine overall selection,

1384
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:40,880
Speaker 2: but there's some serious downsides. You got the incredibly mediocre

1385
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 2: Derek Carr, who proved his sixty three and seventy nine

1386
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:46,840
Speaker 2: record as a starter with the Raiders. There was no

1387
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 2: Fluke played only ten games in twenty twenty four, tweets

1388
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:51,920
Speaker 2: out we're all gonna be laughing at you when you

1389
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:53,599
Speaker 2: make the playoffs. Maybe you should have done that. He's

1390
01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:56,320
Speaker 2: also got a no trade clause, and Derek Carr refuses

1391
01:14:56,400 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 2: to take a pay cut on a contract that could

1392
01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:02,400
Speaker 2: actually be restructured to save thirty million, but it would

1393
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:05,400
Speaker 2: mean you'd lock him in a starting the next two seasons.

1394
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:08,280
Speaker 2: That's not good. I'm not sure if Fencer Ratner is

1395
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:12,839
Speaker 2: a major quarterback. They do have some veteran talent, Markshawn

1396
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:16,599
Speaker 2: Lattimore their cornerback, but he was traded a couple of

1397
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:19,280
Speaker 2: offensive linemen that are expected to retire. They're getting old

1398
01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:24,040
Speaker 2: Cameron Jordan, Alvin Kamara didn't get any younger. And look

1399
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:28,880
Speaker 2: they've got other guys Chris Olave and Koolaid McKinstry. They're questionable.

1400
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:33,120
Speaker 2: They're questionable at this point. Mickey Loomis, who's been there

1401
01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:35,040
Speaker 2: even before the Super Bowl years he's got a salary

1402
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:39,480
Speaker 2: cap situation. It's infamous. I mean, they're the exact opposite

1403
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:42,519
Speaker 2: of the teams I mentioned. They're a league worse, fifty

1404
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:45,559
Speaker 2: million dollars over the cap, twice as bad as even

1405
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 2: the Browns. It's a mess. It'll take years to recover from.

1406
01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:57,599
Speaker 2: But look, you want a job in the NFL, they're open. Finally,

1407
01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 2: the New York Jets. You would think this would really

1408
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:04,559
Speaker 2: be an attractive job for reasons that you didn't even

1409
01:16:04,600 --> 01:16:07,800
Speaker 2: have to mention an attractive free agent market based on

1410
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:11,799
Speaker 2: the city. The roster's got some young talent, Arret Wilson,

1411
01:16:12,120 --> 01:16:16,280
Speaker 2: Breice Hall, will McDonald, Quinn Williams. All they needed was

1412
01:16:16,320 --> 01:16:20,120
Speaker 2: the quarterback, right, that's what you told us. There's also

1413
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 2: the number seven draft pick. You're in a division with

1414
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:28,240
Speaker 2: winnable games. You got a chance, and you know you

1415
01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 2: got a situation now where you come in as head coach.

1416
01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:33,400
Speaker 2: Maybe you come in as in lockstep because they're also

1417
01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:38,160
Speaker 2: hiring a GM also, right, But there's also other questions

1418
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:41,120
Speaker 2: that are yet to be answered. What the hell exactly

1419
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:46,759
Speaker 2: is the future of Aaron Rodgers right Doturn? Does they return?

1420
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:50,320
Speaker 2: There have been players on the inside that cover. The

1421
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 2: New York Jets smarter than I am that say they

1422
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:58,400
Speaker 2: would not be surprised if Aaron Rodgers returns. If Aaron

1423
01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:01,519
Speaker 2: Rodgers is on the roster after in first and they

1424
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:03,880
Speaker 2: cut them, the Jets will save about another ten million

1425
01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:06,640
Speaker 2: in cap space. The Jets don't have a lot of

1426
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:11,000
Speaker 2: cap room, just twenty nine million dollars. And uh, Breece

1427
01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:16,519
Speaker 2: Wilson and you know Wilson Hall, Sauce Gardner, Jermaine Johnson,

1428
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:25,200
Speaker 2: they're all eligible for extensions. And you know Davante Adams,

1429
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:28,519
Speaker 2: he's a thirty eight million dollar cap hit. Why would

1430
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 2: you even consider bringing him back for any reason? But

1431
01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:32,840
Speaker 2: if you do, you're gonna have to rework the contract.

1432
01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:37,080
Speaker 2: But the larger thing is, it's just been clearly, it's

1433
01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:40,639
Speaker 2: been pointed out, it's been beat to death. There appears

1434
01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:43,960
Speaker 2: to be one hell of a lot of organizational disfunction,

1435
01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:49,479
Speaker 2: which has to be the most crucial worry. Right when

1436
01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:53,640
Speaker 2: you hear that Woody Johnson is, you know, following his

1437
01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:57,040
Speaker 2: decision making advice from his teenage sons in site of

1438
01:17:57,080 --> 01:18:02,320
Speaker 2: the John Madden ratings when evaluating players. That stuff's got

1439
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:05,800
Speaker 2: to make your teeth ititch I wouldn't mind seeing Rex

1440
01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:08,120
Speaker 2: Ryan get the job, But I just don't think you will.

1441
01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:10,880
Speaker 2: I don't know why. I just can't. I can't give

1442
01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:13,519
Speaker 2: you a reason. I just don't think you will. I

1443
01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 2: think he wants it, and you know that in and

1444
01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:20,920
Speaker 2: of itself alone should be worth the price of admission.

1445
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:24,280
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, the Patriots, the Bears,

1446
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:30,559
Speaker 2: and the Jaguars, those aren't bad opportunities. The Raiders, the Saints,

1447
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:35,120
Speaker 2: and the Jets. You gotta think long and hard about

1448
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:38,960
Speaker 2: what your future might be. And you're not worried about

1449
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:41,000
Speaker 2: the way in. You're worried about the way out because

1450
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:46,000
Speaker 2: there's just tremendous lack of stability and many questions coming up.

1451
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:48,840
Speaker 2: Did you know NFL coaches can be traded? Wait? You

01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:29,439
Speaker 2: home Saturday, are in the NFL playoffs, sixteen teams are not,

1462
01:19:30,479 --> 01:19:33,599
Speaker 2: and six are looking for new coaches. In the seventh

1463
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:39,439
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys appear to be reuniting peaches in her

1464
01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 2: with Mike McCarthy, even though it's not officially done yet.

1465
01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:46,400
Speaker 2: We shall see what we shall see, And of course

1466
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:50,800
Speaker 2: there are rumors after the January fourteenth, which is Tuesday,

1467
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:54,719
Speaker 2: when McCarthy's contract expires, these freed act doctor other teams,

1468
01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:56,800
Speaker 2: and I've told other teams to talk to them. But

1469
01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:02,080
Speaker 2: getting off topic, Kevin O'Connell, who's done a phenomenal job

1470
01:20:02,120 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 2: with the Minnesota Vikings in every aspect, and it clearly

1471
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:08,519
Speaker 2: did a phenomenal job with the Los Angeles Rams as

1472
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:12,000
Speaker 2: Sean mcvay's right hand man is offensive coidinator during their

1473
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:16,599
Speaker 2: Super Bowl winning season. My understanding, an unnamed NFL team

1474
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:20,400
Speaker 2: reached out offering to trade for the coach. And to

1475
01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:22,519
Speaker 2: the great unwashed, you may say, well, you want to

1476
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:26,479
Speaker 2: can't trade for our coach, Well, you most certainly can.

1477
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:31,960
Speaker 2: Now we get it. NFL trades involving draft picks and

1478
01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:36,920
Speaker 2: players are common, but trading for coaches head coaches rare.

1479
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:42,000
Speaker 2: But man, when it happens, it happens. First of deal. First, look,

1480
01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:46,280
Speaker 2: here's the situation. It is absolutely within NFL rules to

1481
01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:50,439
Speaker 2: trade coaches. The procedure. What it involves is the coach

1482
01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:53,920
Speaker 2: and their current team trading his rights to a prospective

1483
01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:58,240
Speaker 2: team that's interested in hiring them. Once the trades complete,

1484
01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:02,160
Speaker 2: then the coach asked to negotiate a new contract with

1485
01:21:02,240 --> 01:21:07,080
Speaker 2: the team they were acquired by. Now, this type of

1486
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:10,920
Speaker 2: coach trade is complicated to pull off because it very

1487
01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:14,840
Speaker 2: much requires a coach being interested in a move and

1488
01:21:14,880 --> 01:21:17,760
Speaker 2: that their current team is open to trading them to

1489
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:21,360
Speaker 2: what's likely going to be in some manner or rival.

1490
01:21:22,360 --> 01:21:24,320
Speaker 2: And then the dance partner has to be willing to

1491
01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:28,360
Speaker 2: exchange assets, which is usually draft picks, in order to

1492
01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:32,880
Speaker 2: acquire a said coach. But what do you hear? These names?

1493
01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:36,479
Speaker 2: Can't make it up done my research and by the way,

1494
01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:40,920
Speaker 2: you know, Kevin O'Connell basically said this is where I

1495
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:43,400
Speaker 2: want to be, so that Kyle botches it right there.

1496
01:21:43,920 --> 01:21:47,040
Speaker 2: But there are eight well known head coach trades in

1497
01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:52,040
Speaker 2: NFL history? And what do you hear these names? I

1498
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:54,800
Speaker 2: know I just said that fifty times. The first time

1499
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:59,000
Speaker 2: this happens all the way back in nineteen seventy, Who

1500
01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:09,680
Speaker 2: was involved the legend? Don Shula? Don Shula, Don Shula.

1501
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:13,800
Speaker 2: The Miami Dolphins traded a first round pick to the

1502
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:20,040
Speaker 2: Baltimore Colts to get Don Shula in nineteen seventy. How'd

1503
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:24,240
Speaker 2: that work out? You tell me? Sula not only helped

1504
01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:26,960
Speaker 2: Miami win two Super Bowls and seventy two and seventy

1505
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:32,599
Speaker 2: three back to back, Don Shula presided over the only

1506
01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:37,880
Speaker 2: perfect season in National Football League history seventeen oh to oh,

1507
01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:41,760
Speaker 2: the one. The late great Mercury Morris, you know, spent

1508
01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:44,519
Speaker 2: the rest of his life parading around every time a

1509
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:48,040
Speaker 2: team would lose, you know, they'd crack open a bottle

1510
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:53,400
Speaker 2: of champagne. That was Don Shula. Now, after nineteen seventy,

1511
01:22:54,479 --> 01:22:59,439
Speaker 2: this didn't happen again for another twenty seven years. Fast

1512
01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:02,920
Speaker 2: forward to nineteen ninety seven. The name of the coach

1513
01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:09,800
Speaker 2: involved in the trade, this time Bill Parcells. What was

1514
01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:17,519
Speaker 2: the compensation? The New York Jets traded first, second, third,

1515
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:21,680
Speaker 2: and fourth round picks to the New England Patriots for

1516
01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:27,000
Speaker 2: their right to acquire Bill Parcells. How did Parcels do?

1517
01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:30,479
Speaker 2: He was there three seasons. He took the Jets to

1518
01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:34,719
Speaker 2: the playoffs once they the year they got to the playoffs,

1519
01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:38,920
Speaker 2: though they lost in the AFC Championship game in nineteen

1520
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:42,599
Speaker 2: ninety eight. Can you imagine that Don Shula and Bill

1521
01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:48,599
Speaker 2: Parcells were traded? Two years later, it happened again. And

1522
01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:51,400
Speaker 2: this is a name again. This ain't no ham and Anger.

1523
01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:56,800
Speaker 2: Mike Holmgrin was involved in the trade. What was the

1524
01:23:56,800 --> 01:24:01,760
Speaker 2: compensation the Seattle Seahawks. They traded second round pick to

1525
01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:05,040
Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers for the right to get Mike Holmgren.

1526
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:08,559
Speaker 2: And remember Holmgren had just won a Super Bowl two

1527
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:12,360
Speaker 2: years earlier in Green Bay beating the New England Patriots.

1528
01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:19,320
Speaker 2: Holmgren gets to Seattle. Seattle made the playoffs six times

1529
01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:24,760
Speaker 2: under Mike Holmgren, including the appearance Super Bowl appearance in

1530
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:27,439
Speaker 2: Super Bowl forty two thousand and six, a game I

1531
01:24:27,479 --> 01:24:30,559
Speaker 2: covered at Ford Field when they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

1532
01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:37,519
Speaker 2: Don Sula, Bill Parcells, Mike Holmgren. Now fast new seatbelt

1533
01:24:37,640 --> 01:24:41,320
Speaker 2: on this one. Don't drive off the road. The very

1534
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:44,839
Speaker 2: next year, there was another coaching trade. Who was involved

1535
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:51,760
Speaker 2: this time? Wait for it, Bill Belichick. Yes, Bill Belichick

1536
01:24:51,880 --> 01:24:57,280
Speaker 2: was involved in a trade. The New England Patriots traded

1537
01:24:57,320 --> 01:24:59,880
Speaker 2: a first, fourth, and fifth round pick to the je

1538
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,680
Speaker 2: it's member. Belichick was only there a day or two

1539
01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:05,639
Speaker 2: in New York. And how did it work out? Well?

1540
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:09,519
Speaker 2: Belichick spent twenty three seasons in New England, Oh nothing,

1541
01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:16,160
Speaker 2: only won six Super Bowls. Bill Belichick, Mike Combran, Bill Parcells,

1542
01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:20,400
Speaker 2: Don Shula. Here's another name. I know you've heard this name.

1543
01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:25,320
Speaker 2: Two years later, in two thousand and two, John Gruden

1544
01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:31,000
Speaker 2: was a coach involved in a trade. Again the compensation,

1545
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:37,519
Speaker 2: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers traded two first round picks and

1546
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:42,880
Speaker 2: eight million dollars in cash to the Oakland Raiders for

1547
01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:47,800
Speaker 2: the right to obtain John Gruden. How did that work out?

1548
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:52,880
Speaker 2: Gruden won the Super Bowl in Tampa Bay. I think

1549
01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:56,160
Speaker 2: with Tony Dungee's players, to be fair, won the Super

1550
01:25:56,160 --> 01:25:58,880
Speaker 2: Bowl in Tampa Bay his very first season. He led

1551
01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:03,120
Speaker 2: the Bucks and hung around about six years before departing

1552
01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:07,360
Speaker 2: in two thousand and eight. Took four more years for

1553
01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:11,120
Speaker 2: another coach to be involved. And I'm sure you remember

1554
01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:14,439
Speaker 2: this guy as well. You played to win the game.

1555
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:20,720
Speaker 2: I see him on TV now offering his punditry. The

1556
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:24,360
Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs traded a fourth round pick to the

1557
01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:27,120
Speaker 2: New York Jets for the right to get HERM Edwards.

1558
01:26:32,960 --> 01:26:37,120
Speaker 2: Edwards coached forty eight games as a Chief Said coach.

1559
01:26:38,200 --> 01:26:42,759
Speaker 2: He win a dismal fifteen to thirty three and was fired,

1560
01:26:43,720 --> 01:26:45,839
Speaker 2: So I guess they were due. Right after Don Shula,

1561
01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:52,360
Speaker 2: Bill Parcells, Mike Holmgren, Bill Belichick, and John Gruden. By

1562
01:26:52,400 --> 01:26:55,760
Speaker 2: the way of that list, everyone won a Super Bowl

1563
01:26:55,760 --> 01:26:59,320
Speaker 2: except Holmgren, and Holmgren got to a Super Bowl. HERM

1564
01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:05,679
Speaker 2: Edwards not so much. Took thirteen more years before another

1565
01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:13,040
Speaker 2: coach trade was consummated, but it happened. The Kansas City

1566
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:18,240
Speaker 2: Chiefs checked that back to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They

1567
01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:23,599
Speaker 2: traded a sixth round pick two the Arizona Cardinals four

1568
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:31,640
Speaker 2: Bruce Arians Arians heads to Tampa Bay. He goes on

1569
01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:35,040
Speaker 2: to win the Super Bowl in his second season as

1570
01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:38,280
Speaker 2: the head man in Tampa Bay, then retired in twenty

1571
01:27:38,320 --> 01:27:41,920
Speaker 2: twenty one after his second postseason appearance with Tampa Bay,

1572
01:27:42,360 --> 01:27:46,240
Speaker 2: and his appears to have ridden off into the sunset.

1573
01:27:47,479 --> 01:27:51,680
Speaker 2: So not only our coaches you know, eligible to be

1574
01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:56,240
Speaker 2: traded if in fact you can negotiate the deal and

1575
01:27:56,320 --> 01:27:59,559
Speaker 2: have a willing dance partner. But look at these names.

1576
01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:04,880
Speaker 2: Prusirians won a Super Bowl, John Gruton won a Super Bowl,

1577
01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:08,759
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick won six, Bill Parcells, don Cula, Michael Hombran

1578
01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:12,840
Speaker 2: got to a Super Bowl. Her Edwards again. Of the group,

1579
01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:17,080
Speaker 2: he's the only one who doesn't you know he you

1580
01:28:17,160 --> 01:28:20,280
Speaker 2: get nothing inlike a judge smiles. But wait, there was

1581
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:25,320
Speaker 2: one more. It just happened last year. We're talking about

1582
01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:30,040
Speaker 2: Sean Payton. The Saints owned the rights to Sean Payton,

1583
01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:33,760
Speaker 2: even though he'd been Dorman a couple of years, but

1584
01:28:33,840 --> 01:28:36,479
Speaker 2: the Denver Broncos traded a first and third round pick

1585
01:28:36,560 --> 01:28:41,439
Speaker 2: to the Saints for the right to get Sean Payton.

1586
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:47,000
Speaker 2: I can't give any results yet because well, this is

1587
01:28:47,040 --> 01:28:49,920
Speaker 2: the first year that Sean Payton checked out. This is

1588
01:28:49,920 --> 01:28:55,040
Speaker 2: the second year that Sean Payton has been with the

1589
01:28:55,040 --> 01:28:59,120
Speaker 2: the Denver Broncos. But in about nine hours here they're

1590
01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:03,920
Speaker 2: going to kick off and visit the Buffalo Bill, so

1591
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:07,920
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. So I found this, honestly found

1592
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:11,320
Speaker 2: this list to be I was incredulous when I saw

1593
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:15,479
Speaker 2: the names. And yeah, again, when you draft, when you

1594
01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:17,720
Speaker 2: trade players or draft picks, that's common. When you start

1595
01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:21,520
Speaker 2: to trade head coaches, that's a whole different kettle of fish.

1596
01:29:22,040 --> 01:29:25,320
Speaker 2: But you know, again, these are eight well known head coaches,

1597
01:29:26,040 --> 01:29:29,360
Speaker 2: eight well known head coach trades in NFL history. The

1598
01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:33,120
Speaker 2: first one, Don Jula, goes from Baltimore to Miami, and

1599
01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:36,240
Speaker 2: the move wasn't originally intended to be a trade, but

1600
01:29:36,320 --> 01:29:38,720
Speaker 2: the league mandated that Miami sent a first round pick

1601
01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:42,480
Speaker 2: to Baltimore otherwise they'd be hit with tampering rule violations.

1602
01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:45,960
Speaker 2: And again fast forward to nineteen ninety seven, there was

1603
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:48,519
Speaker 2: twenty seven years when it didn't happen. There were seven

1604
01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:51,960
Speaker 2: more high profile coaching trades. And these are big names.

1605
01:29:52,479 --> 01:29:56,599
Speaker 2: Bill Parcells, Her Edwards, Bill Belichick, and again Sean Payton

1606
01:29:57,040 --> 01:30:01,480
Speaker 2: and Lesten, I forget Mike Holmbron, John Gruden, etc. Bruce Arians.

1607
01:30:01,840 --> 01:30:11,400
Speaker 2: So yes, yes, it can happen. Coming up, I want

1608
01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:15,400
Speaker 2: to dive back into Sunday's football slate and give a

1609
01:30:15,400 --> 01:30:19,240
Speaker 2: bit of a preview. There's four games remaining in the

1610
01:30:19,360 --> 01:30:22,640
Speaker 2: Wildcard round, and I think it's time to take a

1611
01:30:22,680 --> 01:30:25,400
Speaker 2: little bit of a deeper dive into these games. And

1612
01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:30,880
Speaker 2: give you our thoughts. By the way, football fans, be

1634
01:31:44,320 --> 01:31:48,760
Speaker 2: the show posted right after we get off the air. Well,

1635
01:31:48,840 --> 01:31:52,320
Speaker 2: we're about eight hours and thirty nine minutes away from

1636
01:31:52,360 --> 01:31:57,599
Speaker 2: the resumption of the NFL Wild Card weekend. Neither game

1637
01:31:58,320 --> 01:32:03,439
Speaker 2: Saturday was particularly SI delating Sunday we could get a

1638
01:32:03,479 --> 01:32:05,840
Speaker 2: mix of everything, and we got a game Monday as well.

1639
01:32:07,439 --> 01:32:11,320
Speaker 2: First game on the docket the number seven seed Denver Broncos.

1640
01:32:11,320 --> 01:32:16,479
Speaker 2: When the rookie quarterback bow Knicks invades Buffalo. Now they

1641
01:32:16,560 --> 01:32:19,479
Speaker 2: give it up to the Broncos and Sean Payton. They

1642
01:32:19,680 --> 01:32:23,040
Speaker 2: ended in eight year playoff drought. They get a crack

1643
01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:27,680
Speaker 2: at perhaps the top quarterback of the AFC, depending on

1644
01:32:27,680 --> 01:32:29,160
Speaker 2: if you want to have an argument. Now, he's probably

1645
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:32,400
Speaker 2: not better Mahomes and maybe I don't know, you could

1646
01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:36,160
Speaker 2: argue whether you know where he ranks among Joe Burrow,

1647
01:32:36,320 --> 01:32:38,840
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, or why do I bring that

1648
01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:43,200
Speaker 2: up because the Broncos didn't play Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes

1649
01:32:43,840 --> 01:32:48,120
Speaker 2: or Joe Burrow this year or even justin Herbert. Now

1650
01:32:48,120 --> 01:32:51,840
Speaker 2: they get Josh Allen. By the way, Josh Allen has

1651
01:32:51,920 --> 01:32:55,720
Speaker 2: ran his run for twelve touchdowns this season. That's the

1652
01:32:55,720 --> 01:33:00,400
Speaker 2: same amount the Broncos have as a team. So one

1653
01:33:00,400 --> 01:33:03,759
Speaker 2: of the things Josh Allen has become that guy. Actually,

1654
01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:05,960
Speaker 2: and this is an app comparison. If you turned on

1655
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:09,880
Speaker 2: the film for ten years ago, he used to say

1656
01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:12,640
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson, he was in his peak in Seattle. He

1657
01:33:12,680 --> 01:33:16,360
Speaker 2: had to prepare two defensive schemes for Russell Wilson. The

1658
01:33:16,400 --> 01:33:20,639
Speaker 2: one for the offensive game plan that they to prepare

1659
01:33:20,640 --> 01:33:23,080
Speaker 2: and run and the one for when the play breaks

1660
01:33:23,080 --> 01:33:28,200
Speaker 2: down and Russell Wilson improvises and performs what they call

1661
01:33:28,320 --> 01:33:31,680
Speaker 2: quote second act plays, which is what the Broncos have

1662
01:33:32,120 --> 01:33:36,400
Speaker 2: referred to Josh Allen. They need to limit second act plays.

1663
01:33:37,800 --> 01:33:40,320
Speaker 2: And the long and short of it is, these are

1664
01:33:40,640 --> 01:33:44,799
Speaker 2: plays that the initial reads are taken away. Josh Allen

1665
01:33:44,840 --> 01:33:48,120
Speaker 2: decides he's got to improvise. He'll either take off and

1666
01:33:48,200 --> 01:33:52,479
Speaker 2: run or he'll find another receiver. Right, the Bills have

1667
01:33:52,600 --> 01:33:55,400
Speaker 2: been awesome in the Wild Card. They've only lost once

1668
01:33:56,160 --> 01:33:58,400
Speaker 2: with Josh Allen starting. They're five to one. The question

1669
01:33:58,600 --> 01:34:01,799
Speaker 2: is whether the defense can get off the field because

1670
01:34:01,880 --> 01:34:04,960
Speaker 2: right Now, the Bills defense is fourth worst and third

1671
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:10,080
Speaker 2: down conversion percentage, and they don't exactly sack the quarterback

1672
01:34:10,080 --> 01:34:13,080
Speaker 2: a lot. They're tied for eighteenth in sacks. On the

1673
01:34:13,160 --> 01:34:16,880
Speaker 2: other hand, bow Knicks has avoided sacks, tied for third

1674
01:34:16,920 --> 01:34:18,680
Speaker 2: fust and the leak. He gets the damn ball out

1675
01:34:18,720 --> 01:34:21,920
Speaker 2: of his hand, and he's mobile enough. He's extremely poised

1676
01:34:21,920 --> 01:34:24,320
Speaker 2: for a young quarterback, and he's he's got a lot

1677
01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:27,320
Speaker 2: more mobility and an ability to extend plays, and many

1678
01:34:27,400 --> 01:34:29,559
Speaker 2: rookies do, or even a lot of quarterbacks will lead

1679
01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:34,120
Speaker 2: to Sean McDermott knows this all right. The one thing

1680
01:34:34,160 --> 01:34:37,800
Speaker 2: the Bills do have going for them, though, is they

1681
01:34:38,600 --> 01:34:42,320
Speaker 2: lead the league in turnover marchin plus twenty four and

1682
01:34:42,400 --> 01:34:45,679
Speaker 2: the Bills on their side of the ball have only

1683
01:34:45,680 --> 01:34:48,400
Speaker 2: turned the ball over eight times the entire year. That's

1684
01:34:48,479 --> 01:34:53,720
Speaker 2: big time. So look, you got a couple of interesting matchups.

1685
01:34:53,880 --> 01:34:57,240
Speaker 2: Can the Broncos get the ball to Courtland Sutton that'll

1686
01:34:57,320 --> 01:35:00,960
Speaker 2: run the ball well. And the tooth of the matter

1687
01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:04,120
Speaker 2: is and I talked about this last night with Jason

1688
01:35:04,160 --> 01:35:07,280
Speaker 2: Smith and Mike Carmen and earlier with Scott Kellen. Over

1689
01:35:07,320 --> 01:35:10,080
Speaker 2: the past ten seasons, rookie quarterbacks are zero and five

1690
01:35:10,120 --> 01:35:12,200
Speaker 2: out right and one to four against the spread and

1691
01:35:12,360 --> 01:35:17,679
Speaker 2: road playoff games. It just has not been a good

1692
01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:20,759
Speaker 2: a good look. Now you may be inclined to grab

1693
01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:26,240
Speaker 2: the eight and a half points, it's the games to

1694
01:35:26,320 --> 01:35:29,280
Speaker 2: stay away. For me, I just simply don't see a

1695
01:35:29,320 --> 01:35:31,479
Speaker 2: path where the Broncos win. So you're trying to become

1696
01:35:31,479 --> 01:35:34,719
Speaker 2: a fishbender there and hang the number. I mean, what,

1697
01:35:34,479 --> 01:35:37,120
Speaker 2: what what's the path? How did the Broncos win? They

1698
01:35:37,160 --> 01:35:41,080
Speaker 2: somehow keep Josh Allen off the field, But because they

1699
01:35:41,080 --> 01:35:43,320
Speaker 2: don't run the ball off, they're gonna have to do

1700
01:35:43,360 --> 01:35:47,880
Speaker 2: with screenplays and short passes. But you know, I expect

1701
01:35:47,880 --> 01:35:51,080
Speaker 2: Sean Payton to call a great game. But the other

1702
01:35:51,080 --> 01:35:52,680
Speaker 2: thing you're gonna have to wonner. And I know this

1703
01:35:52,720 --> 01:35:58,520
Speaker 2: is very cliche, but I think to have a shot

1704
01:35:58,600 --> 01:36:01,719
Speaker 2: to win Denver would have to win in the turnover

1705
01:36:01,800 --> 01:36:04,200
Speaker 2: battle as well. And I don't know that that's honestly,

1706
01:36:04,280 --> 01:36:09,160
Speaker 2: don't know that that's in the cards. At one thirty

1707
01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:14,240
Speaker 2: Pacific time, four to thirty Eastern, the NFC gets into

1708
01:36:14,280 --> 01:36:22,840
Speaker 2: the act. The Packers visit the Philadelphia Eagles, and look,

1709
01:36:22,880 --> 01:36:26,280
Speaker 2: the pack They've had a nice year They've had a

1710
01:36:26,360 --> 01:36:28,960
Speaker 2: nice year. They limp into the playoffs a little bit

1711
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:33,360
Speaker 2: having lost their last two games, and let's face it,

1712
01:36:33,520 --> 01:36:38,320
Speaker 2: they're gonna miss Christian Watson and the Packers have had

1713
01:36:38,360 --> 01:36:42,080
Speaker 2: trouble with Saquon Barkley before in the twenty twenty fourth

1714
01:36:42,080 --> 01:36:46,360
Speaker 2: season opener. This year, I think Barkley's had three straight

1715
01:36:46,400 --> 01:36:49,479
Speaker 2: games against the Packers with at least one hundred yards

1716
01:36:49,520 --> 01:36:53,080
Speaker 2: from scrimmage in a touchdown, and so that's an issue.

1717
01:36:53,160 --> 01:36:56,639
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts is back. I'm not worried at the least

1718
01:36:56,640 --> 01:37:01,040
Speaker 2: about the concussion protocol he went through. I Thinkhladelphia is

1719
01:37:02,320 --> 01:37:05,080
Speaker 2: the most complete team in all three phases. As we

1720
01:37:05,200 --> 01:37:09,519
Speaker 2: enter this tournament, the question will be, now, Hurts, this

1721
01:37:10,080 --> 01:37:13,760
Speaker 2: is a legitimate conversation. Hertz Acton actually played in a

1722
01:37:13,800 --> 01:37:17,040
Speaker 2: game since December twenty second, all right, so that's three weeks.

1723
01:37:18,240 --> 01:37:23,439
Speaker 2: So can Philadelphia's passing offense get to a rhythm, especially

1724
01:37:23,479 --> 01:37:26,160
Speaker 2: early in the game with Jalen Hurts playing in his

1725
01:37:26,240 --> 01:37:29,479
Speaker 2: first game in three weeks? And that was kind of

1726
01:37:29,479 --> 01:37:32,439
Speaker 2: a theme for the Eagles in general this season, slow starts,

1727
01:37:33,080 --> 01:37:36,160
Speaker 2: particularly earlier in the season. Remember they had that stat

1728
01:37:36,200 --> 01:37:39,160
Speaker 2: We even did it and brand new food what by

1729
01:37:39,240 --> 01:37:42,280
Speaker 2: name said. When I'm the head coach of a team

1730
01:37:42,320 --> 01:37:44,320
Speaker 2: that's failed to score in the first quarter ten weeks

1731
01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:47,360
Speaker 2: in a row. That was the Philadelphia Eagles. They did

1732
01:37:47,400 --> 01:37:50,200
Speaker 2: not score in the first quarter ten times this year.

1733
01:37:50,240 --> 01:37:54,840
Speaker 2: Now their production is improved of late, but they're going

1734
01:37:54,880 --> 01:37:56,840
Speaker 2: to be coming up against a pretty good defense in

1735
01:37:56,880 --> 01:38:01,839
Speaker 2: Green Bay. It's actually only allowing nineteen points again, sixpence

1736
01:38:01,880 --> 01:38:04,719
Speaker 2: in the NFL. The pack finished with their highest defensive

1737
01:38:04,800 --> 01:38:07,880
Speaker 2: ranking since their Super Bowl winning season when they had

1738
01:38:07,880 --> 01:38:10,640
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers back in twenty ten. But the Eagles have

1739
01:38:10,720 --> 01:38:16,200
Speaker 2: been a nemesis for the Packers all right. Eagles nine

1740
01:38:16,200 --> 01:38:20,160
Speaker 2: to three and against the spread in their last twelve games.

1741
01:38:20,280 --> 01:38:22,080
Speaker 2: Again I checked. The Eagles are four and a half

1742
01:38:22,080 --> 01:38:25,600
Speaker 2: point favorites. I just honestly feel like this is a

1743
01:38:25,680 --> 01:38:32,120
Speaker 2: ten point win for Philadelphia. I really don't know what

1744
01:38:32,160 --> 01:38:35,800
Speaker 2: the path to victory is for Green Bay. Jordan Love

1745
01:38:35,880 --> 01:38:38,000
Speaker 2: is back to throwing. He issued it he injured his

1746
01:38:38,120 --> 01:38:41,360
Speaker 2: right elbow last week. Said they're still soreness his arm

1747
01:38:41,439 --> 01:38:45,679
Speaker 2: is vital. They need Jordan Love, especially since Green Bay

1748
01:38:45,720 --> 01:38:49,559
Speaker 2: will be out with will be without their most explosive receiver,

1749
01:38:49,640 --> 01:38:53,080
Speaker 2: Christian Watson. He towards ACL last week as well. And oh,

1750
01:38:53,080 --> 01:38:55,960
Speaker 2: by the way, he did you know Green Bay is

1751
01:38:56,000 --> 01:39:00,000
Speaker 2: facing a Vic Fangio defense that has allowed the NFL

1752
01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:04,599
Speaker 2: second fewest passes of north of fifteen yards. So they're

1753
01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:07,400
Speaker 2: gonna take away their vertical play, which is tough on

1754
01:39:07,479 --> 01:39:11,360
Speaker 2: green Bay because green Bay thrives off big plays. They

1755
01:39:11,439 --> 01:39:14,800
Speaker 2: rank third in the National Football League and explosive play percentage.

1756
01:39:14,920 --> 01:39:20,479
Speaker 2: And if you look at Philadelphia, look, they're gonna need

1757
01:39:20,479 --> 01:39:22,120
Speaker 2: a good game out of Jalen Hurt taken and win

1758
01:39:22,160 --> 01:39:25,519
Speaker 2: without them. But it's difficult because Hurts is a big

1759
01:39:25,560 --> 01:39:28,599
Speaker 2: difference maker. There's a big drop off when Hurts doesn't

1760
01:39:28,600 --> 01:39:33,800
Speaker 2: play well, and you know, it imposes issues on the

1761
01:39:33,880 --> 01:39:35,760
Speaker 2: remainder of the team. This feels to me like a

1762
01:39:37,120 --> 01:39:39,560
Speaker 2: thirty one to twenty one type game. I just I

1763
01:39:40,160 --> 01:39:43,040
Speaker 2: feel like the Eagles win by ten. We shall see

1764
01:39:43,120 --> 01:39:47,679
Speaker 2: what we shall see. The final game of the evening

1765
01:39:48,600 --> 01:39:51,400
Speaker 2: will feature. I think what should be a You know,

1766
01:39:51,479 --> 01:39:57,639
Speaker 2: if you like offensive fireworks, if you like shootouts, it's

1767
01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:03,280
Speaker 2: hard to imagine Tampa Bay and Washington not lighting up

1768
01:40:03,320 --> 01:40:06,320
Speaker 2: the scoreboard. Again. You got the same situation I just

1769
01:40:06,400 --> 01:40:11,320
Speaker 2: mentioned about a rookie quarterback going on the road to

1770
01:40:11,400 --> 01:40:13,879
Speaker 2: make his first playoffs start in the last ten years.

1771
01:40:14,520 --> 01:40:18,160
Speaker 2: In those such situations on five straight up one and

1772
01:40:18,200 --> 01:40:22,720
Speaker 2: four against the spread, Tampa Bay only laying three. I've

1773
01:40:22,840 --> 01:40:26,679
Speaker 2: bet Tampa Bay full disclosure, I feel like this line's

1774
01:40:26,680 --> 01:40:29,160
Speaker 2: off by a point and a half, that Tampa Bay

1775
01:40:29,200 --> 01:40:33,840
Speaker 2: should be laying more like four and a half. The

1776
01:40:33,880 --> 01:40:36,400
Speaker 2: only path to victory for Washington is, you know, again

1777
01:40:36,479 --> 01:40:39,040
Speaker 2: it's cliche, You're gonna have to turn the bucks over.

1778
01:40:39,560 --> 01:40:43,599
Speaker 2: I don't really expect Tampa Bay's or checked at Washington's defense,

1779
01:40:43,600 --> 01:40:46,479
Speaker 2: which ranks twenty fourth and EPA per play and allowing

1780
01:40:46,479 --> 01:40:49,280
Speaker 2: twenty four points a game, which is the highest figure.

1781
01:40:49,439 --> 01:40:52,240
Speaker 2: Washington's got the worst defense among all fourteen playoff teams.

1782
01:40:52,520 --> 01:40:56,080
Speaker 2: How do they stop Tampa Bay consistently? They're gonna need

1783
01:40:56,120 --> 01:41:00,320
Speaker 2: to take possessions away from Baker Mayfield. Now, Baker may Field,

1784
01:41:00,400 --> 01:41:03,880
Speaker 2: you know, through forty one touchdown passes, but he did

1785
01:41:03,960 --> 01:41:10,200
Speaker 2: lead the NFL with sixteen interceptions. If somehow Washington turns

1786
01:41:10,240 --> 01:41:13,840
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield over a couple of times, you can likely

1787
01:41:13,920 --> 01:41:16,880
Speaker 2: count on Washington's offense to make some noise. All right,

1788
01:41:16,920 --> 01:41:19,040
Speaker 2: They've got the fifth highest scoring attack in the league.

1789
01:41:19,040 --> 01:41:22,800
Speaker 2: You're averaging twenty eight points a game. But Washington doesn't

1790
01:41:22,800 --> 01:41:26,360
Speaker 2: stop the run well. And if Tampa Bay feeds Bucky Irving,

1791
01:41:27,960 --> 01:41:31,840
Speaker 2: that will rob Daniels. I think of time on the

1792
01:41:31,880 --> 01:41:36,120
Speaker 2: field and Mayfield's going to get his But Tampa Bay

1793
01:41:36,200 --> 01:41:40,040
Speaker 2: is seven and two when Bucky Irving just touches the

1794
01:41:40,080 --> 01:41:43,600
Speaker 2: ball ten times. Why with Bucky Irving's averaging five and

1795
01:41:43,600 --> 01:41:46,160
Speaker 2: a half yards per carry, that's the third highest market

1796
01:41:46,160 --> 01:41:51,080
Speaker 2: in NFL history among qualifying rookies. He's only behind Adrian

1797
01:41:51,160 --> 01:41:55,599
Speaker 2: Peterson and Clinton Portis. That is pretty damn good company

1798
01:41:55,680 --> 01:42:03,200
Speaker 2: if you ask me. Washington defense has improved since facing

1799
01:42:03,200 --> 01:42:05,040
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay in the season opener. Remember that was a

1800
01:42:05,080 --> 01:42:08,480
Speaker 2: thirty seven to twenty final. Baker Mayfield threw four touchdowns

1801
01:42:08,479 --> 01:42:12,760
Speaker 2: in that game. When you consider that after the first

1802
01:42:12,800 --> 01:42:16,559
Speaker 2: three games of the season, the Commandos ranked twenty ninth

1803
01:42:16,560 --> 01:42:20,080
Speaker 2: in points allowed per game with twenty nine. But in

1804
01:42:20,120 --> 01:42:22,960
Speaker 2: the next fourteen weeks they got that defense improved all

1805
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:25,800
Speaker 2: the way to twelfth and reduced the scoring points per

1806
01:42:25,800 --> 01:42:28,439
Speaker 2: game down to twenty one point six and fourth in

1807
01:42:28,479 --> 01:42:30,960
Speaker 2: total yards just at over three hundred. So the Bucks

1808
01:42:31,479 --> 01:42:34,559
Speaker 2: they're going to present a challenge because of their very

1809
01:42:34,640 --> 01:42:38,200
Speaker 2: much improved run game at Bucky Irving, and they ranked

1810
01:42:38,240 --> 01:42:40,280
Speaker 2: seventh in the NFL over the last seven weeks in

1811
01:42:40,360 --> 01:42:44,880
Speaker 2: rushing yards. And this is where, again as a handicapper,

1812
01:42:45,439 --> 01:42:49,320
Speaker 2: you look for strength versus weakness, and this is clearly one.

1813
01:42:50,120 --> 01:42:55,840
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay can run the ball, they will run the ball.

1814
01:42:56,040 --> 01:43:01,479
Speaker 2: Match that up with Washington's defense, which ranks thirtieth against

1815
01:43:01,520 --> 01:43:04,080
Speaker 2: the run. They're allowing almost one hundred and forty yards

1816
01:43:04,120 --> 01:43:08,080
Speaker 2: per game. Now, the Bucks are going to see a

1817
01:43:08,080 --> 01:43:12,960
Speaker 2: different quarterback as they face Jade and Daniels, different since

1818
01:43:13,040 --> 01:43:16,880
Speaker 2: they saw him clear back in Week one when Daniels

1819
01:43:16,920 --> 01:43:20,200
Speaker 2: actually rushed for two touchdowns. But what's interesting is I

1820
01:43:20,200 --> 01:43:23,240
Speaker 2: think the Bucks field are more equipped to stop Jaden

1821
01:43:23,320 --> 01:43:27,640
Speaker 2: Daniels this time around. Early in the season, you know,

1822
01:43:28,479 --> 01:43:30,880
Speaker 2: one of their quarterbacks mentioned, we were a little bit

1823
01:43:30,880 --> 01:43:34,759
Speaker 2: short on containment and we weren't plastering around as quarterbacks

1824
01:43:34,800 --> 01:43:38,679
Speaker 2: started to scramble and receivers started to site adjust their routes.

1825
01:43:39,479 --> 01:43:41,599
Speaker 2: But this has sort of been a point of focus

1826
01:43:41,640 --> 01:43:46,600
Speaker 2: on Tampa Bay's defense, honing in on quarterback movement. The

1827
01:43:46,640 --> 01:43:50,000
Speaker 2: truth of the matter is their focus is proved to

1828
01:43:50,080 --> 01:43:55,120
Speaker 2: be fruitful. In the first eight games, Tampa Bay was

1829
01:43:55,120 --> 01:44:00,320
Speaker 2: giving up five yards per rush to opposing quarterbacks, which

1830
01:44:00,439 --> 01:44:03,720
Speaker 2: was twenty third in the league. That number is now

1831
01:44:03,760 --> 01:44:05,519
Speaker 2: down to three point one yards to rush, which is

1832
01:44:05,560 --> 01:44:08,640
Speaker 2: third best in the league. So that takes away in

1833
01:44:08,680 --> 01:44:13,040
Speaker 2: some senses a key weapon that Jayden Daniels brings when

1834
01:44:13,040 --> 01:44:16,280
Speaker 2: you know the play breaks down, He's pretty good at

1835
01:44:16,280 --> 01:44:23,639
Speaker 2: being improvisational. Right again, these two teams, they're averaging twenty

1836
01:44:23,680 --> 01:44:26,800
Speaker 2: eight points in game. It feels like both teams are

1837
01:44:26,800 --> 01:44:30,320
Speaker 2: going to get their yards. There could be turnovers. We'll

1838
01:44:30,320 --> 01:44:34,439
Speaker 2: see one guy I'm watching give it up to a

1839
01:44:34,560 --> 01:44:36,880
Speaker 2: rookie wide receiver that Tampa Bay has really started to

1840
01:44:36,880 --> 01:44:40,320
Speaker 2: emerge kid by the name of Jalen McMillan. He's getting

1841
01:44:40,400 --> 01:44:43,759
Speaker 2: more target volume, he's getting more touchdown production. In recent weeks,

1842
01:44:44,200 --> 01:44:46,439
Speaker 2: he has at least one touchdown reception at least in

1843
01:44:46,439 --> 01:44:49,439
Speaker 2: the past five games. He is able to stretch the

1844
01:44:49,479 --> 01:44:52,920
Speaker 2: field vertically. He brings that element to the offense and

1845
01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:59,360
Speaker 2: opposite Mike Evans, who can oftentimes command a double team, well,

1846
01:44:59,439 --> 01:45:02,320
Speaker 2: McMillan's have a guy that could win his matchups against

1847
01:45:02,400 --> 01:45:07,040
Speaker 2: the Washington's. You know, other secondary players So this is

1848
01:45:07,080 --> 01:45:09,080
Speaker 2: a game I know most pros I think are betting

1849
01:45:09,080 --> 01:45:11,320
Speaker 2: the over of fifty overs or twelve and five and

1850
01:45:11,360 --> 01:45:16,040
Speaker 2: Buccaneers games, and it feels like it feels like the

1851
01:45:16,080 --> 01:45:20,160
Speaker 2: winning team gets into the thirties. This this feels like

1852
01:45:20,200 --> 01:45:25,400
Speaker 2: a thirty one to twenty seven type game. Thirty four

1853
01:45:25,400 --> 01:45:29,160
Speaker 2: to twenty seven type game. You know, you never know

1854
01:45:29,200 --> 01:45:31,920
Speaker 2: what happens when they hit the field. But it's just

1855
01:45:32,360 --> 01:45:36,760
Speaker 2: hard to picture a situation where this isn't probably the

1856
01:45:36,840 --> 01:45:41,639
Speaker 2: highest scoring game of all the you know, remaining Wildcard games,

1857
01:45:41,640 --> 01:45:45,799
Speaker 2: which brings us to Monday night and the Minnesota Vikings

1858
01:45:45,800 --> 01:45:49,800
Speaker 2: and the Rams, which also could also be a high

1859
01:45:49,880 --> 01:45:54,559
Speaker 2: scoring game. But the as you know, and by the way,

1860
01:45:54,600 --> 01:45:56,720
Speaker 2: currently as it stands, Minnesota laying two and a half.

1861
01:45:56,800 --> 01:46:00,000
Speaker 2: The game has been moved to Arizona. It was announced

1862
01:46:00,040 --> 01:46:04,160
Speaker 2: Thursday night the decision. The National Football League made the

1863
01:46:04,160 --> 01:46:07,839
Speaker 2: decision in the interest of public safety as these horrific

1864
01:46:07,960 --> 01:46:12,120
Speaker 2: wildfires continue to ravage southern California. The game is originally

1865
01:46:12,160 --> 01:46:14,760
Speaker 2: scheduled to take place in SOFI Stadium in Englewood, but

1866
01:46:14,800 --> 01:46:18,160
Speaker 2: it's not going to be played in Glendale State Farm Stadium.

1867
01:46:18,280 --> 01:46:23,400
Speaker 2: At the same time, Monday Night football eight pm Eastern Time.

1868
01:46:24,520 --> 01:46:27,519
Speaker 2: Pretty two evenly matched teams. Remember these two teams played

1869
01:46:28,360 --> 01:46:33,360
Speaker 2: in Week eight and what happened was in Puka Nicoula.

1870
01:46:33,920 --> 01:46:37,760
Speaker 2: Now Brian Flores claims that they did not know, you know,

1871
01:46:37,880 --> 01:46:40,760
Speaker 2: they were admitted they were surprised by the fact that

1872
01:46:40,800 --> 01:46:43,520
Speaker 2: Poka Nicool was playing, which caused a little bit of scrambling,

1873
01:46:44,240 --> 01:46:48,800
Speaker 2: and Nicool went nuts that day. He was targeted three

1874
01:46:48,840 --> 01:46:51,040
Speaker 2: times on the opening drive. He finished with seven catches

1875
01:46:51,080 --> 01:46:53,800
Speaker 2: one hundred and six yards and the Rams had their

1876
01:46:53,840 --> 01:46:56,040
Speaker 2: season nine total thirty points that day. They beat the

1877
01:46:56,120 --> 01:46:59,200
Speaker 2: Vikings thirty to twenty. We know the Rams are a

1878
01:46:59,320 --> 01:47:02,439
Speaker 2: very different teams with Pookinakou out there, but Cooper cup

1879
01:47:02,600 --> 01:47:07,120
Speaker 2: Is got the bad ankle and I don't know. I

1880
01:47:07,160 --> 01:47:09,880
Speaker 2: don't know how much that affects the Rams, although I

1881
01:47:09,880 --> 01:47:18,559
Speaker 2: think it's going to affect the Rams. I realize it's

1882
01:47:18,600 --> 01:47:23,200
Speaker 2: hard to unsee what people saw on Sunday night when

1883
01:47:23,400 --> 01:47:26,720
Speaker 2: Sam Donald looked flustered. Of course they're the you know,

1884
01:47:26,800 --> 01:47:31,439
Speaker 2: the references to seeing ghosts. The Lions pass rush against

1885
01:47:31,479 --> 01:47:35,599
Speaker 2: Sam Donald was fierce. They got after earlier and often

1886
01:47:35,680 --> 01:47:38,599
Speaker 2: give it up to Aaron Glenn for teeing up would

1887
01:47:38,600 --> 01:47:42,080
Speaker 2: turn out to be an extremely heady game plan. Uh.

1888
01:47:42,200 --> 01:47:44,360
Speaker 2: Sam Donald does have a tendency to hold the ball

1889
01:47:44,400 --> 01:47:47,920
Speaker 2: a little bit, and they knew that if they could,

1890
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:51,760
Speaker 2: if they could bring it, you know, and with the

1891
01:47:51,800 --> 01:47:53,840
Speaker 2: return of Alex Sanzeloni, it really helped the Lions. But

1892
01:47:53,920 --> 01:47:56,960
Speaker 2: if they if they could bring a fierce pass rush

1893
01:47:57,360 --> 01:48:01,840
Speaker 2: and pressure Sam Donald virtually every play that it would serve,

1894
01:48:03,880 --> 01:48:06,519
Speaker 2: it would serve the Lions well. And it did. Sam

1895
01:48:06,600 --> 01:48:09,800
Speaker 2: Darnold missed on a lot of throws and I think

1896
01:48:09,840 --> 01:48:13,080
Speaker 2: a lot of times he was releasing the ball before

1897
01:48:13,120 --> 01:48:17,960
Speaker 2: he wanted to. And so it's a situation where the

1898
01:48:18,080 --> 01:48:21,400
Speaker 2: Rams don't have that same kind of pass rush ability

1899
01:48:22,320 --> 01:48:26,479
Speaker 2: that the Lions are gonna bring. And you know, the

1900
01:48:26,600 --> 01:48:29,559
Speaker 2: Vikings are the type of team they only lost three

1901
01:48:29,600 --> 01:48:33,800
Speaker 2: games all year. All right, I'm not so sure I'm

1902
01:48:33,840 --> 01:48:38,439
Speaker 2: sold on the Rams. I would frankly, it's a tough

1903
01:48:38,479 --> 01:48:40,639
Speaker 2: game because you can make a great case for both sides.

1904
01:48:41,160 --> 01:48:44,880
Speaker 2: But I feel like the Vikings right the ship, and

1905
01:48:45,120 --> 01:48:48,360
Speaker 2: I think they're better than the Rams in all three phases. Certainly,

1906
01:48:48,360 --> 01:48:54,320
Speaker 2: I think they're better defensively with Brian Flores, and it

1907
01:48:54,360 --> 01:48:57,719
Speaker 2: feels like this is a bounce back game for the Vikings.

1908
01:48:57,720 --> 01:49:01,519
Speaker 2: But to do that, let's beyond, They're going to have

1909
01:49:01,600 --> 01:49:08,880
Speaker 2: to limit Pooka Akua, and Stafford has made a living

1910
01:49:09,320 --> 01:49:13,320
Speaker 2: just leaning on pooka Akua. He's targeted since I mean

1911
01:49:13,360 --> 01:49:15,559
Speaker 2: we're talking about the last nine weeks of the season,

1912
01:49:16,120 --> 01:49:19,040
Speaker 2: pooka Akua has been targeted on basically forty percent of

1913
01:49:19,040 --> 01:49:21,960
Speaker 2: his routes. That's the most of any receiver I think

1914
01:49:22,000 --> 01:49:25,240
Speaker 2: in the National Football League in that span. And again

1915
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:28,519
Speaker 2: in his first full game in the season back in

1916
01:49:28,600 --> 01:49:34,759
Speaker 2: Week eight, Nikoua completely torched the Viking secondary one hundred

1917
01:49:34,760 --> 01:49:37,760
Speaker 2: and six yards, nine targets, seven catches. So you know

1918
01:49:37,800 --> 01:49:39,360
Speaker 2: they're going to focus on him and try to put

1919
01:49:39,439 --> 01:49:44,960
Speaker 2: him an advice. But if La watched the film against

1920
01:49:44,960 --> 01:49:47,800
Speaker 2: the Lions, he didn't know they did. They're going to

1921
01:49:47,880 --> 01:49:49,760
Speaker 2: do their best to pressure Sam Donald. It was an

1922
01:49:49,840 --> 01:49:54,519
Speaker 2: ugly Week eighteen loss to Detroit. Donald, who's had a

1923
01:49:54,520 --> 01:50:00,720
Speaker 2: sensational year Channel twenty nineteen, missed some critical throws under duress.

1924
01:50:00,880 --> 01:50:03,439
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold did not look like the Sam donocues saw

1925
01:50:04,120 --> 01:50:07,519
Speaker 2: during their prior seventeen weeks of the regular season. Okay,

1926
01:50:08,080 --> 01:50:11,120
Speaker 2: now the Rams have a pass rush. They got a

1927
01:50:11,120 --> 01:50:13,880
Speaker 2: stud rookie Jared Verse and Braden fifty a couple of

1928
01:50:14,040 --> 01:50:16,840
Speaker 2: a nice little one to two punch, but I don't

1929
01:50:16,840 --> 01:50:18,640
Speaker 2: think it'll be the same one to two punch that

1930
01:50:18,720 --> 01:50:23,600
Speaker 2: the Lions brought. All right, Minnesota does have a replacement

1931
01:50:23,680 --> 01:50:28,000
Speaker 2: left tackle in Cam Robinson. He's allowed eight sacks and

1932
01:50:28,080 --> 01:50:30,120
Speaker 2: ten games, and he gave up nine pressures against the

1933
01:50:30,120 --> 01:50:35,080
Speaker 2: Lions in Week eighteen. So make no mistake, this is

1934
01:50:35,120 --> 01:50:37,920
Speaker 2: a tight game, and I think the Vikings are going

1935
01:50:37,960 --> 01:50:40,559
Speaker 2: to have their work cut out for him. And there's

1936
01:50:40,600 --> 01:50:46,479
Speaker 2: also the coaching situation. Sean McVay seven and four outright

1937
01:50:46,479 --> 01:50:51,200
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. This is his twelfth head coaching playoff

1938
01:50:51,200 --> 01:50:52,840
Speaker 2: game as a head coach in the National Football League.

1939
01:50:52,880 --> 01:50:58,719
Speaker 2: It's only Kevin O'Connell's second, all right, So that's something

1940
01:50:58,760 --> 01:51:03,200
Speaker 2: to fact are in as well. But it feels to

1941
01:51:03,320 --> 01:51:10,680
Speaker 2: me like the Vikings are I think you played this

1942
01:51:10,720 --> 01:51:12,880
Speaker 2: game six times, ten times, the Vikings win six and

1943
01:51:12,920 --> 01:51:15,400
Speaker 2: a half out of ten. I'll just leave it there.

1944
01:51:15,439 --> 01:51:19,240
Speaker 2: Can the Rams win, Yes they can. The Rams. I

1945
01:51:19,240 --> 01:51:20,760
Speaker 2: don't think they're a great team, but they have some

1946
01:51:20,840 --> 01:51:22,920
Speaker 2: things going for them. One of the things is they

1947
01:51:22,920 --> 01:51:26,280
Speaker 2: were flagged the fewest times this season of any playoff team,

1948
01:51:27,000 --> 01:51:29,639
Speaker 2: and so you know they've got John Hussey that crew,

1949
01:51:30,120 --> 01:51:33,599
Speaker 2: which also averaged the league's second fewest flags per game,

1950
01:51:34,439 --> 01:51:36,559
Speaker 2: and the Vikings drew the most flags per game. So

1951
01:51:36,840 --> 01:51:40,400
Speaker 2: might that be a factor? Sure, sure that could be

1952
01:51:40,439 --> 01:51:43,680
Speaker 2: a factor. But at the end of the day, you

1953
01:51:43,720 --> 01:51:47,360
Speaker 2: find yourself in a situation where the game will, like

1954
01:51:47,479 --> 01:51:53,680
Speaker 2: most games, probably come down to five key plays and

1955
01:51:53,720 --> 01:51:56,799
Speaker 2: who makes them, who doesn't, Who makes them who doesn't?

1956
01:51:57,240 --> 01:52:00,719
Speaker 2: You get the picture, right, So it's nothing to watch,

1957
01:52:01,680 --> 01:52:05,400
Speaker 2: is something to pay attention to? This game on Sunday

1958
01:52:05,439 --> 01:52:08,360
Speaker 2: night or Monday night should be a doozy because I

1959
01:52:08,360 --> 01:52:13,160
Speaker 2: think it will offer. It will offer I think, perhaps

1960
01:52:13,760 --> 01:52:19,080
Speaker 2: pound for pound, the tightest most competitive game in the

1961
01:52:19,160 --> 01:52:22,960
Speaker 2: National Football League in terms of the wildcard round, and uh,

1962
01:52:23,840 --> 01:52:27,320
Speaker 2: you know, let's let's see what happens, right. I think

1963
01:52:27,320 --> 01:52:29,760
Speaker 2: it would be interesting if the Vikings won. It looks like,

1964
01:52:29,800 --> 01:52:32,400
Speaker 2: based on the way I'm looking at how this thing

1965
01:52:32,479 --> 01:52:35,200
Speaker 2: is going to play out, if the Vikings were to win,

1966
01:52:36,560 --> 01:52:39,439
Speaker 2: they would return Detroit to Detroit for the third time

1967
01:52:39,560 --> 01:52:43,479
Speaker 2: this year. You know, in the lines would be asked

1968
01:52:43,520 --> 01:52:46,200
Speaker 2: to beat them for a third time, and it would

1969
01:52:46,240 --> 01:52:48,160
Speaker 2: be interesting to see how the Vikings react based on

1970
01:52:48,200 --> 01:52:51,880
Speaker 2: what happened last Sunday night. On the other hand, should

1971
01:52:51,880 --> 01:52:54,639
Speaker 2: the Rams prevail, looks like they would be the ones

1972
01:52:54,680 --> 01:52:58,040
Speaker 2: to head to UH Detroit. Can you imagine a Matt

1973
01:52:58,080 --> 01:53:00,920
Speaker 2: Stafford reunion back in Detroit. He's a lot to Jared

1974
01:53:00,960 --> 01:53:05,880
Speaker 2: Goff twice since he's been with Rams. But let's not

1975
01:53:05,880 --> 01:53:08,720
Speaker 2: get ahead of ourselves. But the reason I say that

1976
01:53:08,760 --> 01:53:11,160
Speaker 2: is I just don't see Green Bay. I just don't

1977
01:53:11,160 --> 01:53:14,960
Speaker 2: see Green Bay beating Philadelphia. Another game, even though it's

1978
01:53:15,000 --> 01:53:20,000
Speaker 2: not going to be played for another eight days, involves

1979
01:53:20,960 --> 01:53:23,800
Speaker 2: a number eight seed as a nine and a half

1980
01:53:23,880 --> 01:53:28,120
Speaker 2: point favorite against Wake Up the Echoes. Let's talk about that.

1981
01:53:28,200 --> 01:53:31,160
Speaker 2: It's never too early. As we are down to one game.

1982
01:53:31,200 --> 01:53:33,880
Speaker 2: There are ten playoff games already played in this new

1983
01:53:34,240 --> 01:53:38,600
Speaker 2: twelve team format, but a week from Monday, it'll be

1984
01:53:38,640 --> 01:53:41,080
Speaker 2: for all the marbles as the Buckeyes and Fighting Irish

1985
01:53:41,080 --> 01:53:45,439
Speaker 2: are set for a championship showdown. Let's break it down.

1986
01:53:45,520 --> 01:53:47,240
Speaker 2: It's never to let's have a little fun with that.

2003
01:54:39,640 --> 01:54:45,040
Speaker 2: off the air. Well, after all that, you've got a

2004
01:54:45,120 --> 01:54:47,800
Speaker 2: number eight seed later in nine and a half points

2005
01:54:48,680 --> 01:54:53,000
Speaker 2: the Ohio State Buckeyes, who under last year's playoff format,

2006
01:54:53,000 --> 01:54:55,720
Speaker 2: we don't even been in and I don't know Notre

2007
01:54:55,800 --> 01:54:58,720
Speaker 2: Dame would have been either, But there are two finalists

2008
01:54:58,720 --> 01:55:01,680
Speaker 2: and eight seed in a five seed, and right now

2009
01:55:01,680 --> 01:55:03,600
Speaker 2: Ohio State is a nine and a half point favorite.

2010
01:55:03,600 --> 01:55:05,880
Speaker 2: The money line is minus four ten, which means if

2011
01:55:05,920 --> 01:55:09,440
Speaker 2: you want to win one hundred dollars, you bet four

2012
01:55:09,520 --> 01:55:14,920
Speaker 2: hundred and ten dollars to win one hundred, which, as

2013
01:55:14,960 --> 01:55:18,360
Speaker 2: we translate that here in Las Vegas, equates to about

2014
01:55:18,440 --> 01:55:21,360
Speaker 2: eighty two percent change of Ohio State winning the game.

2015
01:55:21,800 --> 01:55:24,800
Speaker 2: All right, Actually, Notre Dame, I misspoke. Notre Dame is

2016
01:55:24,800 --> 01:55:27,880
Speaker 2: the number seven seed. Ohio State's the number eight seed.

2017
01:55:27,920 --> 01:55:32,360
Speaker 2: It all takes place Monday, January twentieth at Atlanta's Mercedes

2018
01:55:32,400 --> 01:55:37,440
Speaker 2: Benz Stadium. A couple of real blue bloods, Notre Dame.

2019
01:55:38,160 --> 01:55:41,760
Speaker 2: They punched their ticket by beating Penn State twenty seven

2020
01:55:41,760 --> 01:55:44,440
Speaker 2: to twenty four. There you go, death taxes and Jim

2021
01:55:44,480 --> 01:55:49,000
Speaker 2: Franklin one in fifteen now against top five ranked teams. Now,

2022
01:55:49,080 --> 01:55:53,400
Speaker 2: the Irish had to come back from two deficits and

2023
01:55:53,760 --> 01:55:58,240
Speaker 2: Penn State run. But the real story here is Ryan

2024
01:55:58,320 --> 01:56:01,440
Speaker 2: Day And it kind of bothers me when everybody says

2025
01:56:01,440 --> 01:56:02,960
Speaker 2: he's on the hot seat, What exactly does it mean?

2026
01:56:03,000 --> 01:56:05,400
Speaker 2: They were not going to fire him. He could have

2027
01:56:05,440 --> 01:56:07,760
Speaker 2: lost to Tennessee in the opening. They were not going

2028
01:56:07,840 --> 01:56:10,680
Speaker 2: to blow out their big time recruiting class coming in

2029
01:56:10,760 --> 01:56:13,120
Speaker 2: next year, and a lot of players on the roster

2030
01:56:13,160 --> 01:56:15,440
Speaker 2: who would have would have jeopardized that Ryan Dave been

2031
01:56:15,480 --> 01:56:20,120
Speaker 2: fired would be that as it may. He's since beating Oregon,

2032
01:56:20,640 --> 01:56:26,000
Speaker 2: Tennessee and just completely. I thought they handled Texas even

2033
01:56:26,000 --> 01:56:29,960
Speaker 2: though they played a C game by two touchdowns. Speeding train. Now,

2034
01:56:30,000 --> 01:56:32,480
Speaker 2: Ohio State won their three games by a total of

2035
01:56:32,560 --> 01:56:36,280
Speaker 2: fifty nine points. But give it up to Notre Dame too.

2036
01:56:36,320 --> 01:56:38,080
Speaker 2: They had to battle through tremendous sounds to get to

2037
01:56:38,120 --> 01:56:41,320
Speaker 2: this point. Remember they had that huge early setback Week

2038
01:56:41,360 --> 01:56:44,480
Speaker 2: two against Northern Illinois when they were thirty point favorites.

2039
01:56:44,520 --> 01:56:48,160
Speaker 2: That added tremendous pressure to win down the stretch. Notre

2040
01:56:48,240 --> 01:56:51,320
Speaker 2: Dame's not part of a conference. They could not win

2041
01:56:52,160 --> 01:56:55,560
Speaker 2: a second lose a second game. Excuse me. Although their

2042
01:56:55,600 --> 01:56:58,240
Speaker 2: schedule wasn't that tough, but they had several impactful injuries

2043
01:56:58,280 --> 01:57:02,640
Speaker 2: throughout the year. They have a cornerback that's potential first

2044
01:57:02,720 --> 01:57:06,040
Speaker 2: round bat choice, Benjamin Morrison. He's been out for two months.

2045
01:57:06,880 --> 01:57:10,560
Speaker 2: They're leading sack artist Riley Mills. They lost him in

2046
01:57:10,560 --> 01:57:13,960
Speaker 2: the first playoff game against Indiana. In spite of it all,

2047
01:57:14,360 --> 01:57:17,760
Speaker 2: give it up to Marcus Freeman. Notre Dame has not

2048
01:57:17,800 --> 01:57:22,400
Speaker 2: only been very impressive, they're likable. They're led by Xavier Watts,

2049
01:57:22,400 --> 01:57:26,000
Speaker 2: who will draw the assignment. I'm quite sure on Jeremiah Smith.

2050
01:57:26,720 --> 01:57:30,120
Speaker 2: And it's not just Jeremiah Smith. Ohio State has the

2051
01:57:30,160 --> 01:57:33,160
Speaker 2: most talented roster in college football and now they're playing

2052
01:57:33,280 --> 01:57:35,919
Speaker 2: like it all right. The key has been the renewed

2053
01:57:36,000 --> 01:57:39,680
Speaker 2: focus on Jeremia Smith. He's only a freshman. He's regarded

2054
01:57:39,680 --> 01:57:42,040
Speaker 2: as maybe one of the best players in the entire country,

2055
01:57:42,080 --> 01:57:45,560
Speaker 2: maybe the best receiver, and his playoff totals are staggering

2056
01:57:45,600 --> 01:57:49,480
Speaker 2: thirteen catches, two hundred ninety three yards for touchdowns. And

2057
01:57:49,520 --> 01:57:52,160
Speaker 2: we'll break down this game next weekend as well. But

2058
01:57:52,680 --> 01:57:55,720
Speaker 2: Ohio State Buckeyes have first round prospects all over the place.

2059
01:57:56,520 --> 01:57:59,080
Speaker 2: Up next, brand new fool. What my name Keith? It

2060
01:57:59,160 --> 01:58:02,520
Speaker 2: locks the Bernie Fratt Show on Fox Sports Radio. Well,

2068
01:58:29,480 --> 01:58:33,640
Speaker 2: we've come to that juncture in the show once a

2069
01:58:33,680 --> 01:58:39,640
Speaker 2: week every Sunday, two am Pacific, faviam Eastern. You know

2070
01:58:39,640 --> 01:58:41,160
Speaker 2: what you love it? You can't live without the dance

2071
01:58:41,200 --> 01:58:43,800
Speaker 2: sensation sweep of the nation. You see because here on

2072
01:58:43,800 --> 01:58:45,680
Speaker 2: the Bernie Fraddle Show, as Yogie Berry when said you

2073
01:58:45,680 --> 01:58:48,800
Speaker 2: can observe a lot by watching, which is exactly what

2074
01:58:48,840 --> 01:58:51,160
Speaker 2: we do. And around this great land of ours, from

2075
01:58:51,200 --> 01:58:54,560
Speaker 2: seed to oily seed, frankly, around the globe, around the planet. Well,

2076
01:58:54,600 --> 01:58:58,960
Speaker 2: people engage in behaviors. Sometimes those behaviors are odd. Sometimes

2077
01:58:58,960 --> 01:59:02,320
Speaker 2: those behaviors are trouble. Sometimes they can land you into

2078
01:59:02,320 --> 01:59:07,920
Speaker 2: serious trouble, maybe innocuous, sometimes even and you you can

2079
01:59:08,040 --> 01:59:11,480
Speaker 2: end up in jail. But anyway you slice it, any way,

2080
01:59:11,480 --> 01:59:13,680
Speaker 2: you characterize it, any way you describe it, Well, these

2081
01:59:13,720 --> 01:59:17,080
Speaker 2: behaviors that people engage in, they always managed to leave

2082
01:59:17,160 --> 01:59:20,880
Speaker 2: us scratching our head and asking ourselves what kind of

2083
01:59:20,920 --> 01:59:21,960
Speaker 2: brand new fool of you?

2084
01:59:27,920 --> 01:59:30,480
Speaker 1: So, what kind of brand new fool are you?

2085
01:59:32,160 --> 01:59:34,480
Speaker 2: Well, this one is kind of on the innocuous side,

2086
01:59:34,480 --> 01:59:38,400
Speaker 2: although it is stupid and for the third week in

2087
01:59:38,440 --> 01:59:40,520
Speaker 2: a row, I will not be taking this down to Florida.

2088
01:59:40,520 --> 01:59:45,000
Speaker 2: It's actually Clay County, Missouri, and it involves let me

2089
01:59:45,040 --> 01:59:48,200
Speaker 2: see if I can set this up properly, because it

2090
01:59:48,240 --> 01:59:54,880
Speaker 2: actually involves a concept that most people are very familiar

2091
01:59:54,960 --> 01:59:59,040
Speaker 2: with them that is the quest for people to acquire

2092
01:59:59,480 --> 02:00:04,320
Speaker 2: customize license plates for their car. Not in all my life,

2093
02:00:04,480 --> 02:00:09,400
Speaker 2: I have never desired to acquire a customized license plate,

2094
02:00:09,880 --> 02:00:13,360
Speaker 2: nor have I ever done it. But according to the

2095
02:00:13,400 --> 02:00:16,800
Speaker 2: Missouri Department of Revenue that state, okay with you, drivers

2096
02:00:16,800 --> 02:00:20,480
Speaker 2: cannot for customized license plate with up to six characters

2097
02:00:21,280 --> 02:00:25,120
Speaker 2: and even one space, one dash, and one apostrophe if

2098
02:00:25,160 --> 02:00:29,440
Speaker 2: you should so desire. Of course, you have to follow

2099
02:00:29,440 --> 02:00:34,080
Speaker 2: an application process to register a vehicle with a personalized plate,

2100
02:00:34,160 --> 02:00:37,080
Speaker 2: and it's got to be approved because actually there are

2101
02:00:37,200 --> 02:00:43,160
Speaker 2: some customized plates that are illegal. The Department of Revenue quote,

2102
02:00:43,800 --> 02:00:49,360
Speaker 2: no personalized license plates shall be issued containing any letters, numbers,

2103
02:00:50,280 --> 02:00:54,560
Speaker 2: or combination of letters and numbers which are seen profane,

2104
02:00:55,400 --> 02:00:59,920
Speaker 2: patently offensive, or contemptuous of a racial or ethnic group,

2105
02:01:00,400 --> 02:01:04,760
Speaker 2: or offensive to good taste or decency, or something that

2106
02:01:04,760 --> 02:01:09,360
Speaker 2: would present an unreasonable danger to the health or safety

2107
02:01:09,400 --> 02:01:13,040
Speaker 2: of the applicant or other users of streets and highways,

2108
02:01:13,200 --> 02:01:15,480
Speaker 2: or of the public eating the location with a vehicle

2109
02:01:16,040 --> 02:01:19,400
Speaker 2: with such a plate may be found. That's one hell

2110
02:01:19,440 --> 02:01:23,800
Speaker 2: of a mouthful right there, end quote. But that didn't

2111
02:01:23,800 --> 02:01:26,640
Speaker 2: stop a couple of knuckleheads. And this is one of

2112
02:01:26,640 --> 02:01:30,400
Speaker 2: those rare times. We don't have any names here who

2113
02:01:30,480 --> 02:01:34,760
Speaker 2: decided that they came to a traffic stop and well

2114
02:01:34,840 --> 02:01:38,680
Speaker 2: that traffic stops just a suggestion, not for us, not

2115
02:01:38,880 --> 02:01:41,440
Speaker 2: up in here, and they blew right through a traffic

2116
02:01:41,480 --> 02:01:46,760
Speaker 2: stop only to be observed by not one, but two

2117
02:01:47,040 --> 02:01:49,400
Speaker 2: police vehicles. As a matter of fact, it was the

2118
02:01:49,400 --> 02:01:54,080
Speaker 2: Clay to the Share in the Kansas City metropolitan area.

2119
02:01:54,160 --> 02:01:58,160
Speaker 2: And they even had a dash cam photo as a

2120
02:01:58,320 --> 02:02:01,000
Speaker 2: officer started to approach the car around the time, and

2121
02:02:01,080 --> 02:02:04,680
Speaker 2: the car just took off. And one way to get

2122
02:02:04,680 --> 02:02:09,960
Speaker 2: the attention of policeman is to take off and evade

2123
02:02:10,040 --> 02:02:13,880
Speaker 2: the police. Not very smart, pretty stupid, right, do not

2124
02:02:14,120 --> 02:02:18,120
Speaker 2: flee from a traffic stop, especially in here. It comes.

2125
02:02:18,760 --> 02:02:21,720
Speaker 2: If you have a license plate that says quote, I'll

2126
02:02:21,760 --> 02:02:30,440
Speaker 2: spell it out, we dash H I g h W

2127
02:02:30,720 --> 02:02:35,960
Speaker 2: E high. You got a license plate that somehow got

2128
02:02:35,960 --> 02:02:42,200
Speaker 2: approved and says we high, and you just ran a

2129
02:02:42,680 --> 02:02:46,640
Speaker 2: traffic stop in front of two policemen, and as they

2130
02:02:46,640 --> 02:02:50,200
Speaker 2: approached the vehicle, you take off with a license plate

2131
02:02:50,280 --> 02:02:55,680
Speaker 2: that says we high. Well, two people arrested the incident,

2132
02:02:55,760 --> 02:02:58,080
Speaker 2: and we're not sure at this point if it's even

2133
02:02:58,160 --> 02:03:02,600
Speaker 2: led to charges. County Sheriff's office calls a tough lesson

2134
02:03:02,640 --> 02:03:05,920
Speaker 2: for the couple, though it did not disclose if the

2135
02:03:05,960 --> 02:03:11,960
Speaker 2: couple was in fact indeed under the influence or high.

2136
02:03:12,320 --> 02:03:14,720
Speaker 2: Did any way it sliced it anyway you characterize it,

2137
02:03:14,720 --> 02:03:18,000
Speaker 2: anyway you describe it. These two unnamed people from Clay County,

2138
02:03:18,000 --> 02:03:21,000
Speaker 2: Missouri that blew through a stop sign, refused to pull over,

2139
02:03:21,440 --> 02:03:23,880
Speaker 2: and fled from the cops with a license plate personal

2140
02:03:23,880 --> 02:03:28,560
Speaker 2: license said we hi. I have to ask you, what

2141
02:03:28,680 --> 02:03:35,240
Speaker 2: kind of brand new fools are you? All right, mister

2142
02:03:35,320 --> 02:03:37,560
Speaker 2: Shay you are up next, Bernie.

2143
02:03:37,600 --> 02:03:41,840
Speaker 7: I gotta say I like the customized place myself?

2144
02:03:42,080 --> 02:03:43,640
Speaker 2: Good? Good? Do you have one? Any chance?

2145
02:03:43,720 --> 02:03:46,000
Speaker 7: I don't have one? With California has got the cool ones?

2146
02:03:46,040 --> 02:03:49,040
Speaker 7: You can you can get the cool black and yellow ones.

2147
02:03:48,920 --> 02:03:51,560
Speaker 2: You yes, yeah, the old timey ones.

2148
02:03:52,280 --> 02:03:53,920
Speaker 7: The California's got some fun ones.

2149
02:03:55,000 --> 02:03:57,240
Speaker 2: So I've seen some clever ones. I just never was

2150
02:03:57,280 --> 02:04:00,440
Speaker 2: of the inclination that I felt that was something I

2151
02:04:00,520 --> 02:04:02,120
Speaker 2: needed to do for my own edification.

2152
02:04:02,400 --> 02:04:04,040
Speaker 7: I'm sure Vegas got some cool ones.

2153
02:04:04,120 --> 02:04:06,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, everybody, Oh sure, every state. I mean

2154
02:04:06,960 --> 02:04:09,040
Speaker 2: it's a money maker. As a matter of fact, I

2155
02:04:09,080 --> 02:04:10,720
Speaker 2: don't think they're that cheap. I think they're two three

2156
02:04:10,800 --> 02:04:12,560
Speaker 2: four our bucks, aren't they. I mean it's not cheap.

2157
02:04:12,920 --> 02:04:13,960
Speaker 2: I'm not wrong. I don't know.

2158
02:04:14,080 --> 02:04:16,200
Speaker 7: That's something I'll have to I'll look into it. Well,

2159
02:04:16,240 --> 02:04:18,080
Speaker 7: we'll get back to you on that. We'll get back

2160
02:04:18,120 --> 02:04:18,240
Speaker 7: to you.

2161
02:04:19,960 --> 02:04:21,960
Speaker 2: Good little little field reporting.

2162
02:04:23,240 --> 02:04:27,640
Speaker 7: Well, I mine stays in Los Angeles, so no Florida

2163
02:04:27,760 --> 02:04:30,640
Speaker 7: this week from either of us. And this one's kind

2164
02:04:30,680 --> 02:04:33,360
Speaker 7: of a little bit of a do is doozy. So

2165
02:04:33,400 --> 02:04:36,880
Speaker 7: a robbery suspect uses a Waymo vehicle to try to

2166
02:04:36,880 --> 02:04:38,440
Speaker 7: evade an arrest. Do you want to you know what

2167
02:04:38,480 --> 02:04:39,600
Speaker 7: a Waymo vehicle is?

2168
02:04:40,160 --> 02:04:41,120
Speaker 2: I can't say I do.

2169
02:04:41,560 --> 02:04:44,160
Speaker 7: So Waymo vehicles are basically this new thing that they're

2170
02:04:44,200 --> 02:04:47,680
Speaker 7: trying out. So everyone knows what an uber is. It's

2171
02:04:47,680 --> 02:04:51,480
Speaker 7: basically an uber, but instead of having a driver, it's

2172
02:04:51,520 --> 02:04:55,880
Speaker 7: an automated vehicle, so it's no one's driving Yeah, they're

2173
02:04:55,920 --> 02:04:59,720
Speaker 7: called Really, one of the companies that's doing it is

2174
02:04:59,720 --> 02:05:03,240
Speaker 7: called So when you're ordering a Weaimo, you're ordering one

2175
02:05:03,280 --> 02:05:06,600
Speaker 7: of those. So some background information before I go into

2176
02:05:06,640 --> 02:05:09,919
Speaker 7: this story. So, a man accused of robbering a grocery

2177
02:05:09,920 --> 02:05:12,919
Speaker 7: store in mid city on Monday attempted to evade officers

2178
02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:17,120
Speaker 7: using a Weimo vehicle. According to the Los Angeles Police Department,

2179
02:05:17,200 --> 02:05:21,440
Speaker 7: the robbery reported at a Ralph's store just before ten pm.

2180
02:05:21,520 --> 02:05:25,440
Speaker 7: After two people stole goods from the grocery store. Security

2181
02:05:25,520 --> 02:05:29,120
Speaker 7: confronted the suspects, who took off, one on foot and

2182
02:05:29,160 --> 02:05:32,320
Speaker 7: the other by ordering a ride through the self driving

2183
02:05:32,640 --> 02:05:38,760
Speaker 7: car service Waimo. Officer officers pursued the Weaymo vehicle, which

2184
02:05:39,000 --> 02:05:42,200
Speaker 7: stopped a few miles away from the business after detecting

2185
02:05:42,200 --> 02:05:45,720
Speaker 7: the police's sirens. Police were then able to make an

2186
02:05:45,800 --> 02:05:50,160
Speaker 7: arrest the other individuals captured by Ralph's security guards. Laped

2187
02:05:50,320 --> 02:05:54,320
Speaker 7: did not name the individuals and did not comment any further.

2188
02:05:54,600 --> 02:05:57,120
Speaker 7: So it is pretty short, but it is pretty funny.

2189
02:05:57,800 --> 02:06:00,400
Speaker 7: And this leads me to say, unnamed individual that went

2190
02:06:00,440 --> 02:06:03,640
Speaker 7: into the Waymo vehicle thinking you'd be able to get away,

2191
02:06:04,120 --> 02:06:05,440
Speaker 7: what kind of brand new fool, are you?

2192
02:06:08,080 --> 02:06:11,560
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't get this whole deal. Can somebody

2193
02:06:11,600 --> 02:06:16,600
Speaker 2: please explain to me why we need cars that are

2194
02:06:16,640 --> 02:06:19,520
Speaker 2: not driven by human beings? Why do we need that?

2195
02:06:19,840 --> 02:06:20,280
Speaker 1: I like it.

2196
02:06:20,360 --> 02:06:22,600
Speaker 7: I think it's a good because think about this. When

2197
02:06:22,720 --> 02:06:24,680
Speaker 7: let's say you got your daughter right and you're sending

2198
02:06:24,760 --> 02:06:27,360
Speaker 7: her on uber or something. She's a little drunk, she's

2199
02:06:27,400 --> 02:06:30,040
Speaker 7: by herself, I think you'd feel a little bit more

2200
02:06:30,080 --> 02:06:32,720
Speaker 7: comfortable knowing not some strangers driving her, you know what

2201
02:06:32,760 --> 02:06:34,800
Speaker 7: I mean, Like I see it from that front.

2202
02:06:34,760 --> 02:06:37,160
Speaker 2: Okay, or it's like like creative, you know what I.

2203
02:06:37,120 --> 02:06:38,760
Speaker 7: Mean, Like just like kind of you feel a little

2204
02:06:38,760 --> 02:06:41,600
Speaker 7: bit safer, you don't have to worry about anyone. I

2205
02:06:42,000 --> 02:06:44,840
Speaker 7: don't really like the fact that my life isn't on

2206
02:06:44,880 --> 02:06:48,840
Speaker 7: another person's hands, because I feel like then like, oh,

2207
02:06:49,000 --> 02:06:51,200
Speaker 7: like this person cares, Like this person doesn't want to

2208
02:06:51,240 --> 02:06:53,960
Speaker 7: die either, but like a robot doesn't care. So that's

2209
02:06:53,960 --> 02:06:55,960
Speaker 7: a little scary. So it's like there's a lot of

2210
02:06:56,000 --> 02:06:59,600
Speaker 7: pros and cons to it. I'm sure if technology gets

2211
02:06:59,600 --> 02:07:02,160
Speaker 7: a lot better better, the cons will slowly go away.

2212
02:07:02,200 --> 02:07:05,280
Speaker 7: But right now, I don't know if the cons really

2213
02:07:05,280 --> 02:07:06,280
Speaker 7: outweigh the pros.

2214
02:07:07,840 --> 02:07:13,600
Speaker 2: I I am concerned, and this is coming from somebody

2215
02:07:14,520 --> 02:07:16,880
Speaker 2: in terms of the knowledge I have of these way

2216
02:07:16,880 --> 02:07:22,040
Speaker 2: more vehicles are non human driving vehicles. Right, Uh, my

2217
02:07:22,120 --> 02:07:25,480
Speaker 2: knowledge couldn't feel a fimble. But how safe really are they?

2218
02:07:25,760 --> 02:07:27,200
Speaker 2: How safe are they?

2219
02:07:28,120 --> 02:07:32,320
Speaker 7: So I drive a Tesla and I they randomly they'll

2220
02:07:32,320 --> 02:07:35,360
Speaker 7: give me like a free trial of the of the

2221
02:07:35,360 --> 02:07:38,880
Speaker 7: the auto driving and this month they actually just gave

2222
02:07:38,920 --> 02:07:40,360
Speaker 7: it to me like a free month. And I've been

2223
02:07:40,440 --> 02:07:42,920
Speaker 7: using it a little bit and I love it. I

2224
02:07:43,040 --> 02:07:43,800
Speaker 7: use it all the time.

2225
02:07:43,880 --> 02:07:49,240
Speaker 2: Now your destination? Yeah, yeah, so basically GPS go ahead, Yeah,

2226
02:07:49,240 --> 02:07:50,280
Speaker 2: I put it on GPS.

2227
02:07:50,400 --> 02:07:53,400
Speaker 7: I basically just put it on GPS and then I

2228
02:07:53,440 --> 02:07:56,040
Speaker 7: click a button and then it takes me. And then

2229
02:07:56,080 --> 02:07:58,800
Speaker 7: it has a camera inside of the vehicle to make

2230
02:07:58,800 --> 02:08:02,000
Speaker 7: sure I'm like my eye they're facing forward and like

2231
02:08:02,040 --> 02:08:04,040
Speaker 7: paying attention to the road because like let's say, if

2232
02:08:04,040 --> 02:08:06,080
Speaker 7: I'm like looking down at my phone, it will notice

2233
02:08:06,120 --> 02:08:07,840
Speaker 7: that and it would like it will go crazy on

2234
02:08:07,880 --> 02:08:09,840
Speaker 7: me and say bleep, beat beep, like look at the

2235
02:08:09,920 --> 02:08:13,440
Speaker 7: road and or like we're all stop and like pull over. Basically,

2236
02:08:13,480 --> 02:08:16,800
Speaker 7: it's it's it's a great it's really good. It's good tech. Obviously,

2237
02:08:16,840 --> 02:08:18,440
Speaker 7: they'll be like amazing technology.

2238
02:08:18,720 --> 02:08:22,440
Speaker 2: Usually do we need it? You know? Like the it's

2239
02:08:22,480 --> 02:08:26,080
Speaker 2: like the famous trash compactor which would take twenty fronds

2240
02:08:26,080 --> 02:08:28,720
Speaker 2: of trash and turn it into twenty pounds of trash.

2241
02:08:28,760 --> 02:08:29,880
Speaker 2: Do we do we really need that?

2242
02:08:30,040 --> 02:08:32,760
Speaker 7: You know, Bernie? Do we do we need heated toilets?

2243
02:08:33,120 --> 02:08:34,160
Speaker 7: Do we need bidets?

2244
02:08:34,480 --> 02:08:37,920
Speaker 2: No? But don't tell the folks in Europe. They listen exactly.

2245
02:08:37,920 --> 02:08:38,640
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.

2246
02:08:38,720 --> 02:08:40,360
Speaker 7: I love myself a bit day.

2247
02:08:40,560 --> 02:08:42,760
Speaker 2: So waiting for. You know, what I'm waiting for is

2248
02:08:42,920 --> 02:08:45,280
Speaker 2: the day that a Waymo vehicle and another way more

2249
02:08:45,360 --> 02:08:47,000
Speaker 2: vehicle get into it. There's a little road.

2250
02:08:46,880 --> 02:08:51,080
Speaker 7: Range, Bernie, actually that I'm gonna send you a video

2251
02:08:51,520 --> 02:08:54,040
Speaker 7: right now. There's this funny because the weymos need somewhere

2252
02:08:54,040 --> 02:08:56,720
Speaker 7: to park, right, so they have these lots where the

2253
02:08:57,000 --> 02:09:00,760
Speaker 7: basically the cars go and they'll go park. But in

2254
02:09:00,800 --> 02:09:03,720
Speaker 7: these parking lots, the way Moth cars will get stuck

2255
02:09:04,080 --> 02:09:06,880
Speaker 7: and like trying to park or something will happen and

2256
02:09:07,200 --> 02:09:10,320
Speaker 7: they'll start like doing these things where they're flashing each

2257
02:09:10,320 --> 02:09:13,040
Speaker 7: other and like like they're stuck going in circles and

2258
02:09:13,120 --> 02:09:16,280
Speaker 7: roundabouts and honking and like the people that live close

2259
02:09:16,320 --> 02:09:19,720
Speaker 7: to these parking structures are so annoyed because it's happening

2260
02:09:19,760 --> 02:09:22,360
Speaker 7: all throughout the night and no one's able to stop

2261
02:09:22,400 --> 02:09:24,480
Speaker 7: it because no one's at those parking structures because it's

2262
02:09:24,480 --> 02:09:26,400
Speaker 7: all automated. I'll send you the video.

2263
02:09:26,400 --> 02:09:31,960
Speaker 2: It's hilarious. Here you just all right? Well, that you

2264
02:09:32,000 --> 02:09:34,760
Speaker 2: know brings to a conclusion another rousing addition of what

2265
02:09:34,840 --> 02:09:37,760
Speaker 2: kind of brand new fool you, which now allows us

2266
02:09:37,800 --> 02:09:40,800
Speaker 2: to seguey into our second favorite bit that we lovingly

2267
02:09:41,640 --> 02:09:46,600
Speaker 2: refer to as what my name? And here here we go,

2268
02:09:46,720 --> 02:09:52,120
Speaker 2: all right? As a National Football League coach head coach,

2269
02:09:53,560 --> 02:09:57,320
Speaker 2: I have won more divisional titles than any head coach

2270
02:09:57,520 --> 02:10:01,320
Speaker 2: in NFL history? Mark Ram Is he what my name?

2271
02:10:02,760 --> 02:10:10,560
Speaker 2: Earlier in the broadcast he was once traded as one

2272
02:10:10,600 --> 02:10:11,960
Speaker 2: of the eight coaching trades?

2273
02:10:13,640 --> 02:10:17,240
Speaker 8: Or does he work for the Broncos Now I forgot

2274

Speaker 2: Now, this one I did not get. I would not

2412
02:18:05,160 --> 02:18:06,920

2413
02:18:07,000 --> 02:18:11,320
Speaker 2: you guys can get this. We rarely talk about kickers,

Speaker 2: but I made in I made forty one field goals

2415

02:18:23,160 --> 02:18:29,119
Speaker 2: Mark Ramsey with my name, Oh the only reason I'm

2417
02:18:29,120 --> 02:18:30,440

2418
02:18:30,440 --> 02:18:32,320
Speaker 2: one here. I just can't think of a good one.

2419
02:18:32,360 --> 02:18:34,720
Speaker 10: I like to think of Gary your Premian, but that's

2420
02:18:34,720 --> 02:18:35,120

Speaker 7: Good, good job, forty one.

2431
02:19:21,920 --> 02:19:26,800
Speaker 2: W forty one field goals? Should we do one more?

2432
02:19:26,920 --> 02:19:28,720
Speaker 7: Let's do one more?

2433
02:19:29,160 --> 02:19:37,480
Speaker 2: Okay, what more? Uh? Among all NFL coaches in history,

2434

Speaker 10: Is that the rams coach.

2438
02:20:06,000 --> 02:20:11,280
Speaker 2: Judges are looking for a name. I don't mean to

2439
02:20:11,280 --> 02:20:12,640
Speaker 2: be hard to ask, but we got we gotta have

2440
02:20:12,680 --> 02:20:15,160
Speaker 2: a name. Oh what the hell? Well? Shit, do you

2441
02:20:15,200 --> 02:20:16,160

2471
02:22:02,200 --> 02:22:04,480
Speaker 2: and for good reason. We are in the throes of

2472
02:22:04,560 --> 02:22:09,400
Speaker 2: a pretty exciting wildcard round as the NFL playoffs are

2473
02:22:09,440 --> 02:22:13,280
Speaker 2: just beginning, and of course we have now mowed through

2474
02:22:13,360 --> 02:22:17,240
Speaker 2: ten college football playoff games. In the eleventh championship game,

2475
02:22:17,280 --> 02:22:22,280
Speaker 2: the eleventh one a week from Monday, Notre Dame and

2476
02:22:22,280 --> 02:22:25,760
Speaker 2: and of course the Ohio State Buckeyes. But we covered

2477
02:22:25,760 --> 02:22:28,000
Speaker 2: all on the Bernie Frittle Show, including the other football

2478
02:22:28,040 --> 02:22:35,240
Speaker 2: spelled f ut b L. It's time Chris Prefet's World

2479
02:22:35,240 --> 02:22:36,039
Speaker 2: of Soccer.

2480
02:22:37,560 --> 02:22:53,640
Speaker 11: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drum. It's

2481
02:22:53,680 --> 02:22:58,040
Speaker 11: all here in this report from the World of Soccer, Bernie.

2482
02:22:58,040 --> 02:23:00,000
Speaker 9: Before we begin, I would like to offer my conduc

2483
02:23:00,040 --> 02:23:04,200
Speaker 9: rolens's and prayers to the family of Carlos Vea of

2484
02:23:04,440 --> 02:23:07,879
Speaker 9: lafc He and his family they lost their home in

2485
02:23:07,920 --> 02:23:11,360
Speaker 9: Malibu as part of the ongoing Palisades fire here in

2486
02:23:11,440 --> 02:23:14,800
Speaker 9: Los Angeles. That fire and the fire at eat from

2487
02:23:14,800 --> 02:23:18,680
Speaker 9: Eaton Canyon have been just huge parts of our daily

2488
02:23:18,680 --> 02:23:21,320
Speaker 9: lives around here. My cousin I know how to relocate

2489
02:23:21,600 --> 02:23:26,480
Speaker 9: from Pasadena and their stuff is in question for Vea.

2490
02:23:26,640 --> 02:23:28,480
Speaker 9: He and his family are at the very least safe

2491
02:23:28,480 --> 02:23:31,959
Speaker 9: and healthy with their lives and we send our prayers

2492
02:23:31,959 --> 02:23:35,000
Speaker 9: to them. And I also want to thank La Galaxy,

2493
02:23:35,040 --> 02:23:37,760
Speaker 9: who I know is hosting a donation drive for those

2494
02:23:37,800 --> 02:23:41,240
Speaker 9: impacted by the wildfires. Soccer, more than any other sport

2495
02:23:41,320 --> 02:23:46,080
Speaker 9: on the planet, is about community. These clubs have ties

2496
02:23:46,200 --> 02:23:51,400
Speaker 9: and origins, not as sports teams purely for consumption, but

2497
02:23:51,440 --> 02:23:54,000
Speaker 9: to be part of your community, and I think we

2498
02:23:54,040 --> 02:23:56,840
Speaker 9: lose track of that sometimes, especially here in America, where

2499
02:23:56,879 --> 02:24:00,400
Speaker 9: we isolate and atomize ourselves way way, way too often.

2500
02:24:00,640 --> 02:24:03,920
Speaker 9: Soccer is about coming together and soccer clubs should be

2501
02:24:03,959 --> 02:24:06,360
Speaker 9: at the forefront of this, no matter what it is.

2502
02:24:06,400 --> 02:24:11,920
Speaker 9: Why I think many people disdained the massive capitalization of

2503
02:24:12,000 --> 02:24:15,200
Speaker 9: soccer clubs around the world understanding the heart and soul

2504
02:24:15,240 --> 02:24:17,480
Speaker 9: of the game is there. It is about the communities,

2505
02:24:17,680 --> 02:24:20,720
Speaker 9: it's about the towns, and it's about the places where.

2506
02:24:20,520 --> 02:24:23,119
Speaker 2: You are from. Let's talk a little bit about Wrexham.

2507
02:24:23,280 --> 02:24:26,039
Speaker 9: We haven't talked about Rexham in a while, the club

2508
02:24:26,400 --> 02:24:29,520
Speaker 9: from the show Welcome to Rexham and some of the

2509
02:24:29,520 --> 02:24:31,840
Speaker 9: stuff that they've been up to. They are in League One.

2510
02:24:31,920 --> 02:24:35,440
Speaker 9: This year they have had a kind of difficult couple

2511
02:24:35,440 --> 02:24:37,720
Speaker 9: of games that have seen them draw in a few

2512
02:24:37,760 --> 02:24:40,760
Speaker 9: places and kind of dent their status at the top

2513
02:24:40,879 --> 02:24:44,279
Speaker 9: of League One. And remember, if they win English Football

2514
02:24:44,360 --> 02:24:46,800
Speaker 9: League One, they would move up to the Championship, which

2515
02:24:46,840 --> 02:24:50,560
Speaker 9: is the level just below the Premier League. Now they're

2516
02:24:50,560 --> 02:24:53,120
Speaker 9: currently sitting in third place fifty one points to back

2517
02:24:53,160 --> 02:24:58,320
Speaker 9: of English League One leader Birmingham City. One and two

2518
02:24:58,400 --> 02:25:01,960
Speaker 9: get automatic promotions from League One, whereas three, four, five

2519
02:25:01,959 --> 02:25:06,119
Speaker 9: and six end up playing in a promotion playoff. However,

2520
02:25:06,160 --> 02:25:08,720
Speaker 9: Birmingham City also has two games in hand. They've played

2521
02:25:08,720 --> 02:25:12,400
Speaker 9: two less games than Wrexham and Wycombe, which means that

2522
02:25:12,840 --> 02:25:15,760
Speaker 9: those single two points might be a little more distant

2523
02:25:15,800 --> 02:25:17,800
Speaker 9: than we think. If Birmingham City continues to clean up

2524
02:25:17,800 --> 02:25:20,600
Speaker 9: their business and so far the season at sixteen five

2525
02:25:20,600 --> 02:25:22,879
Speaker 9: and two they have. There is so much on the

2526
02:25:22,879 --> 02:25:26,760
Speaker 9: line for Wrexham, who aspires to ascend the top of

2527
02:25:26,800 --> 02:25:29,640
Speaker 9: everything first. At first it was simply to gain back

2528
02:25:29,720 --> 02:25:32,879
Speaker 9: some respect, and now it seems that they are skyrocking

2529
02:25:32,920 --> 02:25:37,720
Speaker 9: to the top. Transfer when transfer fees that have been

2530
02:25:37,879 --> 02:25:42,400
Speaker 9: unthinkable years ago. They have broken records non stop this

2531
02:25:42,480 --> 02:25:46,960
Speaker 9: ownership group and they continue to chase, but they could

2532
02:25:47,000 --> 02:25:49,680
Speaker 9: lose some players with trying to make this money work.

2533
02:25:49,879 --> 02:25:51,000
Speaker 10: The other issue at.

2534
02:25:50,840 --> 02:25:54,920
Speaker 9: Hand right now is a matter of trying to qualify

2535
02:25:55,160 --> 02:25:58,879
Speaker 9: for Europe by entering what is called the Welsh League Cup.

2536
02:25:59,120 --> 02:26:01,920
Speaker 9: They're looking to join this competition along with several other sides,

2537
02:26:01,959 --> 02:26:05,959
Speaker 9: including some formerly the Premier League. Cardiff City Swansea City

2538
02:26:05,959 --> 02:26:08,960
Speaker 9: and Newport County and it's and it's part of a

2539
02:26:09,040 --> 02:26:12,879
Speaker 9: touch point right now because Welsh teams, because they're considered

2540
02:26:12,879 --> 02:26:16,680
Speaker 9: part of England, can only really qualify for European competitions

2541
02:26:16,720 --> 02:26:19,600
Speaker 9: through either the Premier League, the EFL Cup or the

2542
02:26:19,760 --> 02:26:22,240
Speaker 9: FA Cup. But the new proposals for the Welsh League

2543
02:26:22,240 --> 02:26:27,480
Speaker 9: Cup would have a chance to qualify for UEFA Conference League,

2544
02:26:27,640 --> 02:26:29,840
Speaker 9: which is the step below Europa League, which is right

2545
02:26:29,840 --> 02:26:33,000
Speaker 9: below the Champions League. However, the idea has been reportedly

2546
02:26:33,000 --> 02:26:37,560
Speaker 9: met with opposition from the English game and it's kind

2547
02:26:37,600 --> 02:26:40,560
Speaker 9: of there is questions about whether or not if there

2548
02:26:40,640 --> 02:26:43,960
Speaker 9: is a blowback from this where the English Football League

2549
02:26:43,959 --> 02:26:48,000
Speaker 9: would try to endanger the status of EFL status for

2550
02:26:48,280 --> 02:26:52,199
Speaker 9: clubs taking place in this because Welsh teams are supposed

2551
02:26:52,200 --> 02:26:55,560
Speaker 9: to be part of the English competitions, they can't have

2552
02:26:55,640 --> 02:26:57,920
Speaker 9: their own unless they're suddenly doing their own leagues and

2553
02:26:57,959 --> 02:27:00,400
Speaker 9: such like it is in Scotland, like Scotland has their

2554
02:27:00,440 --> 02:27:04,119
Speaker 9: own Premiership where you see clubs like Celtic and Rangers play.

2555
02:27:04,280 --> 02:27:06,640
Speaker 9: Now the clubs are trying to make get assurances from

2556
02:27:06,680 --> 02:27:10,760
Speaker 9: the Football Association that they won't be jeopardized for playing

2557
02:27:10,760 --> 02:27:13,520
Speaker 9: in the English pyramid, but it's still up in question,

2558
02:27:13,600 --> 02:27:15,920
Speaker 9: and to be honest, I could understand why there might

2559
02:27:15,959 --> 02:27:20,240
Speaker 9: be a lot of politicking over the territory at work,

2560
02:27:21,080 --> 02:27:23,760
Speaker 9: and some members of the Rexham Supporters Trust, which used

2561
02:27:23,800 --> 02:27:27,360
Speaker 9: to run the club before Rob and Ryan came in

2562
02:27:27,400 --> 02:27:31,400
Speaker 9: and took over the Wrexham have issued some concerns about this.

2563
02:27:31,600 --> 02:27:34,000
Speaker 9: They don't want to see the status of Wrexham, who

2564
02:27:34,040 --> 02:27:36,240
Speaker 9: has fought so hard to climb up the English ladder,

2565
02:27:36,480 --> 02:27:40,400
Speaker 9: really in jeopardy over a lee over a League cup

2566
02:27:40,520 --> 02:27:42,920
Speaker 9: that at best would only get you into the third

2567
02:27:43,160 --> 02:27:46,960
Speaker 9: tier of European competition. I understand a lot of people

2568
02:27:47,040 --> 02:27:48,800
Speaker 9: want to play in Europe, but I kind of have

2569
02:27:48,840 --> 02:27:51,760
Speaker 9: to agree with them. If this is at all going

2570
02:27:51,800 --> 02:27:54,600
Speaker 9: to risk your status in the EFL, you dump it,

2571
02:27:54,840 --> 02:27:58,440
Speaker 9: you dump it, you stick with the EFL. Like a

2572
02:27:58,480 --> 02:28:01,480
Speaker 9: lot of leagues in Europe do not like trying to

2573
02:28:01,520 --> 02:28:03,680
Speaker 9: deal with breakaways. We saw this with a Super Cup

2574
02:28:04,120 --> 02:28:06,959
Speaker 9: and you know, your goal for Wrexham should be getting

2575
02:28:07,040 --> 02:28:08,480
Speaker 9: up to the Premier League.

2576
02:28:08,640 --> 02:28:10,520
Speaker 1: You can worry about Europe later. Trust me.

2577
02:28:10,600 --> 02:28:15,160
Speaker 9: Conference League is fine and dandy, but you don't skip

2578
02:28:15,200 --> 02:28:18,480
Speaker 9: the beat. Keep to the pace. They'll do it for us, Bernie,

2579
02:28:18,520 --> 02:28:21,640
Speaker 9: We'll see you next time on the World of Soccer.

2580
02:28:22,000 --> 02:28:24,000
Speaker 2: All right. Like I said, we covered all.

2581
02:28:24,080 --> 02:28:30,120
Speaker 12: We talked football, which is spelled foot b l. Well

2582
02:28:30,120 --> 02:28:35,120
Speaker 12: we also talk the other football, which is spelled futbol,

2583
02:28:36,160 --> 02:28:40,160
Speaker 12: that we commonly refer to in this country as soccer.

2584
02:28:41,640 --> 02:28:44,120
Speaker 2: All right. Coming up when we wrap up the Bernie

2585
02:28:44,160 --> 02:28:49,080
Speaker 2: Fraddles Show. And amongst the many names that are being

2586
02:28:49,160 --> 02:28:52,879
Speaker 2: banned about in the new coaching round coaching carousel in

2587
02:28:52,959 --> 02:28:57,760
Speaker 2: the NFL where hope always springs eternal until it doesn't,

2588
02:28:58,840 --> 02:29:04,000
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, two names have emerged. How serious

2589
02:29:04,080 --> 02:29:06,800
Speaker 2: is it? I don't know where does it end up?

2590
02:29:07,000 --> 02:29:13,400
Speaker 2: I don't know. But one denied having interest, but a

2591
02:29:13,400 --> 02:29:19,240
Speaker 2: new report suggests otherwise, whereas the other has interests and

2592
02:29:19,280 --> 02:29:24,760
Speaker 2: his name's been percolating as a potential candidate in this

2593
02:29:25,080 --> 02:29:30,160
Speaker 2: coaching carousel. But my god, given what happened and how

2594
02:29:30,160 --> 02:29:35,080
Speaker 2: he exited three years ago, I don't know how you

2595
02:29:35,120 --> 02:29:38,680
Speaker 2: sell this press conference. Who are those two names? I

2596
02:29:38,720 --> 02:29:40,920
Speaker 2: will share them? Coming up. I'm Bernie Fraddle. We're a

2603
02:30:04,640 --> 02:30:07,760
Speaker 2: Before I go any further, though, I want to thank

2604
02:30:07,840 --> 02:30:10,959
Speaker 2: my broadcast team back in Los Angeles. They've been with

2605
02:30:11,000 --> 02:30:16,120
Speaker 2: me since eleven pm Pacific time on Saturday night. Mark

2606

2610
02:30:29,760 --> 02:30:32,560

Speaker 2: look easy. Appreciate the teamwork. Of course, I'll be back

2612
02:30:37,520 --> 02:30:43,200
Speaker 2: on these airwaves next Friday night, which would be what

2613
02:30:44,480 --> 02:30:49,120
Speaker 2: that would be January seventeenth, yep, eleven pm Pacific for

2614
02:30:49,120 --> 02:30:51,840
Speaker 2: another rousing condition of the Bernie Frattle Show. But a

2615
02:30:51,840 --> 02:30:55,240
Speaker 2: lot of stuff between now and then, including a nice

2616
02:30:55,240 --> 02:31:01,440
Speaker 2: wildcard slate that resumes with the tripleheader later today about

2617
02:31:01,440 --> 02:31:04,840
Speaker 2: seven hours and twelve minutes Denver in Buffalo, and we'll

2618
02:31:04,879 --> 02:31:07,640
Speaker 2: go from there now spend fair amount of time on

2619
02:31:07,720 --> 02:31:09,960
Speaker 2: the coaching carousel to night in the National Football League,

2620
02:31:09,959 --> 02:31:14,160
Speaker 2: which is always a big time talking point at you know,

2621
02:31:14,720 --> 02:31:19,520
Speaker 2: in January, and one particular coach has repeatedly denied having

2622
02:31:19,560 --> 02:31:24,800
Speaker 2: interest in the National Football League. He's had some success

2623
02:31:24,840 --> 02:31:28,480
Speaker 2: in college. He's forty and eighteen overall, after he had

2624
02:31:28,520 --> 02:31:31,360
Speaker 2: a good run at Jackson State before landing the Colorado job.

2625
02:31:32,480 --> 02:31:36,360
Speaker 2: And you know he he's landed a big time star

2626
02:31:37,240 --> 02:31:43,000
Speaker 2: recruit at quarterback to attend Colorado next year. And you know,

2627
02:31:43,280 --> 02:31:47,600
Speaker 2: his son, Shudor Lee's and Dion Sanders has consistently said

2628
02:31:47,640 --> 02:31:51,760
Speaker 2: he loves Colorado and plans to stay. But yet this

2629
02:31:51,879 --> 02:31:54,400
Speaker 2: past week there is reporting that appears to be at

2630
02:31:54,400 --> 02:31:58,160
Speaker 2: odds with that. According to Vincent Bonciori of the Las

2631
02:31:58,240 --> 02:32:03,280
Speaker 2: Vegas Review Journal, apparently told him that Sanators quote has

2632
02:32:03,320 --> 02:32:07,879
Speaker 2: a very strong interest in the Raiders' job. Now do

2633
02:32:07,959 --> 02:32:11,920
Speaker 2: I think Deon Sanders would get the Raiders job. I

2634
02:32:11,959 --> 02:32:15,320
Speaker 2: think he got a better chance of Led Zeppelin re

2635
02:32:15,320 --> 02:32:17,800
Speaker 2: recording the Gilligans Island theme song and selling a million

2636
02:32:17,800 --> 02:32:21,200
Speaker 2: copies in Dion getting that job. And I think Dion

2637
02:32:21,520 --> 02:32:27,279
Speaker 2: should stay in college because he is that quote surrogate, father, coach,

2638
02:32:27,560 --> 02:32:29,480
Speaker 2: mentor teacher. He checks a lot of box I think

2639
02:32:29,480 --> 02:32:30,960
Speaker 2: he does. I think he does a really good job,

2640
02:32:31,040 --> 02:32:33,640
Speaker 2: all right. And it's not even clear that the Shud

2641
02:32:33,760 --> 02:32:35,720
Speaker 2: or Sanaders would fallow number six at the Raiders, or

2642
02:32:36,000 --> 02:32:38,240
Speaker 2: whether or not the Raiders would have the appetite to

2643
02:32:38,280 --> 02:32:40,760
Speaker 2: trade up or put themselves in a position to drive.

2644
02:32:40,840 --> 02:32:43,119
Speaker 2: I mean, I've read reports where a lot of teams

2645
02:32:43,120 --> 02:32:46,400
Speaker 2: don't even have shudor Sanders great as a first round prospect.

2646
02:32:46,920 --> 02:32:49,360
Speaker 2: But that's a conversation for a different day. Let's let's

2647
02:32:49,400 --> 02:32:52,400
Speaker 2: not get too convoluted here. The truth of the matter

2648
02:32:52,520 --> 02:32:57,800
Speaker 2: is is that there are rumblings in the ether that

2649
02:32:57,959 --> 02:33:01,080
Speaker 2: since the Raiders fired Antony Pierce, their head coach and

2650
02:33:01,080 --> 02:33:04,000
Speaker 2: their GM Tom Tolesco just about a week ago, they

2651
02:33:04,120 --> 02:33:08,160
Speaker 2: give themselves a fresh start across the board, and Deon

2652
02:33:08,200 --> 02:33:12,400
Speaker 2: Sanders all of a sudden is allegedly showing some interest.

2653
02:33:12,480 --> 02:33:15,840
Speaker 2: Now Tom Brady's gonna have a big say in both hires,

2654
02:33:16,400 --> 02:33:18,959
Speaker 2: and I don't think Tom wants Deon Sanders. I think

2655
02:33:19,000 --> 02:33:22,320
Speaker 2: he wants Ben Johnson. And I don't know if you're

2656
02:33:22,320 --> 02:33:25,920
Speaker 2: gonna get Ben Johnson either, But it's something to follow. Okay,

2657
02:33:26,600 --> 02:33:28,480
Speaker 2: did you really think Bill Belichick would end up at

2658
02:33:28,480 --> 02:33:32,959
Speaker 2: North Carolina? Yeah? Right, neither did I. So there's one

2659
02:33:33,000 --> 02:33:36,160
Speaker 2: coach who said he had no interest and now allegedly

2660
02:33:36,400 --> 02:33:41,680
Speaker 2: has interest. Well, here's another coach that if you would

2661
02:33:41,680 --> 02:33:44,720
Speaker 2: have asked me three years ago, will he ever find

2662
02:33:44,760 --> 02:33:47,440
Speaker 2: himself as a head coach of the National Football League again,

2663
02:33:49,080 --> 02:33:53,440
Speaker 2: you would have been scratching your head. But the question

2664
02:33:53,640 --> 02:33:58,040
Speaker 2: is now raised officially, will John Gruden be a twenty

2665
02:33:58,080 --> 02:34:03,960
Speaker 2: twenty five coaching candidate? I don't know, but Gruden's name

2666
02:34:04,040 --> 02:34:09,480
Speaker 2: has been percolating for weeks as a potential guy in

2667
02:34:09,520 --> 02:34:14,240
Speaker 2: the mix for the coaching carousel that's now here now.

2668
02:34:16,720 --> 02:34:20,480
Speaker 2: I suppose in some universe you could say you shouldn't

2669
02:34:20,480 --> 02:34:24,520
Speaker 2: be too surprised because after Ben Johnson and Mike Vrabel,

2670
02:34:25,040 --> 02:34:28,520
Speaker 2: who are the no brainer candidates for twenty twenty five,

2671
02:34:29,000 --> 02:34:32,720
Speaker 2: there's a lot of names out there, right, Brian Flores,

2672
02:34:33,240 --> 02:34:36,880
Speaker 2: Jesse Mentor, Cliff Kingsbury, Liam Cohen, Aaron Glenn, Todd, Monkin,

2673
02:34:37,440 --> 02:34:42,440
Speaker 2: Joe Brady, Vance, Joseph you're even hearing you know, Steve Spagnola. Okay, whatever,

2674
02:34:42,480 --> 02:34:44,120
Speaker 2: you get the picture. We don't need to do this

2675
02:34:44,160 --> 02:34:47,680
Speaker 2: Saturday Night Roll Call. But on the other hand, it's

2676
02:34:47,879 --> 02:34:50,880
Speaker 2: stunning that you would hear Gruden's name because he has

2677
02:34:50,920 --> 02:34:53,959
Speaker 2: an active lawsuit against the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell.

2678
02:34:54,280 --> 02:34:56,920
Speaker 2: And it's quite a bit different than Brian Flores's lawsuit

2679
02:34:57,600 --> 02:35:02,800
Speaker 2: because Gruden's lawsuit stems from his forced resignation three years

2680
02:35:02,840 --> 02:35:06,080
Speaker 2: ago as a result of these incredibly over the top

2681
02:35:06,160 --> 02:35:12,359
Speaker 2: inappropriate emails that he sent to a former Washington Redskins executive.

2682
02:35:12,879 --> 02:35:15,480
Speaker 2: And we all know it was wrong on multiple levels,

2683
02:35:16,360 --> 02:35:19,680
Speaker 2: probably for someone to try to publicize these and weaponize

2684
02:35:19,680 --> 02:35:22,720
Speaker 2: these emails in an effort to take Gruden out five

2685
02:35:22,760 --> 02:35:26,760
Speaker 2: games into the regular season. But these were pretty salacious emails,

2686
02:35:26,800 --> 02:35:29,640
Speaker 2: and any owner who would be interested in hiring Gruden,

2687
02:35:30,600 --> 02:35:32,920
Speaker 2: you have to imagine they'd be taking a lot of

2688
02:35:32,920 --> 02:35:36,680
Speaker 2: heat from Park Avenue, which is where, of course, the

2689
02:35:36,840 --> 02:35:42,599
Speaker 2: NFL resides. In the end, it's a risk reward analysis,

2690
02:35:42,640 --> 02:35:45,920
Speaker 2: as is the case always, right, we're not talking about

2691
02:35:45,959 --> 02:35:48,280
Speaker 2: hiring Vince Lombardi. We're talking about John Gruden. We're not

2692
02:35:48,280 --> 02:35:51,920
Speaker 2: talking about Don Juler, Bill Walsh. Gruden coached two hundred

2693
02:35:51,959 --> 02:35:54,800
Speaker 2: and twenty nine games in the NFL. He's five games

2694
02:35:54,800 --> 02:35:58,000
Speaker 2: over five hundred, he actually has a slightly lower winning

2695
02:35:58,000 --> 02:36:02,440
Speaker 2: percentage than Jeff Fisher. And during Gruden's second goal round

2696
02:36:02,480 --> 02:36:05,560
Speaker 2: with the Raiders, which just ended three years ago, even

2697
02:36:05,600 --> 02:36:08,200
Speaker 2: though it seems like a long time ago, Gruden was

2698
02:36:08,200 --> 02:36:11,760
Speaker 2: twenty two and thirty one, zero playoff appearances in three

2699
02:36:11,800 --> 02:36:14,400
Speaker 2: full seasons. He was three and two of the year

2700
02:36:14,440 --> 02:36:17,000
Speaker 2: he got knocked out. The Raiders actually made it to

2701
02:36:17,040 --> 02:36:20,400
Speaker 2: the postseason that year under Rich Bisaccia, who was not

2702
02:36:20,520 --> 02:36:27,199
Speaker 2: hired as to his interim tenure. So you say to yourself,

2703
02:36:27,440 --> 02:36:29,080
Speaker 2: who would you rather have Gruden? Would you rather have

2704
02:36:29,080 --> 02:36:33,040
Speaker 2: them than Gruden and Mike McCarthy. Actually, McCarthy's sixty three

2705
02:36:33,080 --> 02:36:36,320
Speaker 2: games over five hundred the regular season. That's fifty more wins,

2706
02:36:36,360 --> 02:36:40,240
Speaker 2: one fewer loss and you get the picture, all things considered,

2707
02:36:40,240 --> 02:36:43,080
Speaker 2: in fairness to Gruden, I don't see how this makes

2708
02:36:43,080 --> 02:36:46,760
Speaker 2: any sense whatsoever. There's going to be major blowback the

2709
02:36:46,760 --> 02:36:51,400
Speaker 2: pr consequences. How do you sell that press conference and

2710
02:36:51,440 --> 02:36:54,959
Speaker 2: put John Gruden up there? With all due respect, but

2711
02:36:55,240 --> 02:36:57,200
Speaker 2: some teams are desperate to win and they think Gruden

2712
02:36:57,240 --> 02:37:00,080
Speaker 2: is their guy. Stranger things have happened. You've heard me say,

2713
02:37:00,240 --> 02:37:02,600
Speaker 2: Bob Buker, once to hit a home run off Sandy Kofax,

2714
02:37:03,120 --> 02:37:05,439
Speaker 2: so we're gonna continue to watch it. In the meantime,

2715
02:37:05,920 --> 02:37:09,879
Speaker 2: We'll see you next Friday Night. Keep it locked up next,

2716
02:37:10,760 --> 02:37:12,560
