1 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: You know it's a special addition to the Around the 2 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: NFL podcast when this is how it starts breaking news 3 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: in the NFL Late Tuesday afternoon, Chip Kelly Legenius himself 4 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: fired by the Philadelphia Eagles after three seasons five and 5 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 1: nine this season here with Wes and Greg um. Mark 6 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: will join us a little later in the show once 7 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,479 Speaker 1: we get to the proper edition of Tuesday's Around the 8 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: NFL podcast. But let's unpack this real quick off the top. 9 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: I'll start with you, Wes, Kelly Tenant six. His first 10 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: two years, things fell apart with him as the personnel 11 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: man in addition to the coach, and the Eagles decided 12 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: to get out while they're getting is bad. Do you 13 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: agree with the move? Well, I think the shocking thing 14 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: was that had happened this week instead of next week. 15 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: That was the most surprising thing. But I think he 16 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: kind of brought this on himself with his person His 17 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: fight for personnel power last about a year ago, and 18 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: it all backfire art on him. Sam Bradford didn't turn 19 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: out to be the solution at quarterback. DeMarco Murray was 20 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: one of the worst free agent signings he got rid of. 21 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: Uh Lashawn McCoy and that didn't work out. He got 22 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: rid of Evan Mathis, and the offensive line wasn't very good. 23 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: Signed Byron Maxwell, who's not a number one cornerback. What 24 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: which of his moves worked? None of them? And you're right. 25 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 1: When I was going through the list coming up with 26 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: the different personnel moves for our article, I just kept thinking, O, 27 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 1: that didn't work out. That was a disaster. Oh, DeMarco. Murray, 28 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: by the way, told Jeffrey Lurry, the team's owner, on 29 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: the plane, remember that story that came out a few 30 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 1: weeks ago, when he spoke to him. Ian Rappaport, our 31 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: NFL Media Inside Are reported tonight that Murray told Larry 32 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: he had no confidence whatsoever and Kelly as a coach, 33 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: So that was the guy you gave all that money to. 34 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: Apparently snitches don't get stitches. I wonder if Kelly has 35 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: any confidence in Murray. That goes both ways, right. I 36 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: don't think that's obviously the reason, uh that um Kelly 37 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: got fired, although I do think the unrest among players 38 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: not liking his style maybe carries more weight with ownership 39 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: or the front office. At a point where the team 40 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: starts looking flat and starts losing. They're not gonna care 41 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: about that if you're winning. But when it starts losing 42 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: and you're in Philadelphia and the situation become ugly, maybe 43 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: they listened to the players a little bit. This from 44 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Jeffrey Lury, who released a statement shortly after the 45 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: news came out. I spent the last three seasons evaluating 46 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 1: the many factors involved in our performance as a team. 47 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: As I watched this season unfold, I determined that it 48 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: was time to make a change. And you know, LORI 49 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: has to accept a big amount of responsibility for this 50 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: going Haywire as well. I mean they made the decision. 51 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: On January second, two thousand and fifteen, the news came 52 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: out that Chill chip Kelly had been given total personnel 53 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: power of the operation along with who's his boy? Ed Manowitz? 54 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: Thank you? Uh? And that didn't work at all. As 55 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: we're saying, everything Chip did turned to stone. Uh. And 56 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: that falls on the owner for misidentifying chip Kelly as 57 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: a personnel talent. I think the disappointing thing for me 58 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: is his first two seasons he wins. We think he 59 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: has his revolutionary offense, and I don't think he stayed 60 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: long enough to find out if his system works in 61 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: the NFL. We did. We get a definitive answer on 62 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: that if yes, well it worked the first two years, 63 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: no matter what you say about it. He created offense 64 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: and he improved the team. But defenses catch up to 65 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: gimmick offenses. In the NFL. They caught up to the 66 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: read option, and his defense, I believe was thirty second 67 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: in the league over the last three years combined. So 68 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: I some something something wasn't working well. Part of that 69 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: is you end up exposing your team to more plays 70 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: on both sides of the boss. So that helps goose 71 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: your offensive numbers per play. You're not as good maybe, 72 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: but you just have so many plays and then it 73 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: hurts your defensive numbers. Brian Baldinger made the good point 74 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: on NFL Network that Malcolm Jenkins is already played a 75 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: thousand and fifty snaps. He's played two more games than 76 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: a lot of other starters out there, and he still 77 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: has one more week to go. I do think that 78 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: the twenty wins he racked up the first couple of years, 79 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: including an exciting style of play the pace of play, 80 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: uh could give him another chance. Someone tweeted out. I'm 81 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: looking at it right now. You know, Bill Belichick, Pete Carroll, 82 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: Ron Rivera, Sean Payton. Those are some of the coaches 83 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 1: who had worse records in their first three seasons. Not 84 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: like he was a disaster, he was. I mean as 85 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: a personnel man, he seemed like a disaster. But as 86 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: a coach, things were working those first two years. They 87 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: went to the playoffs, and if you look ahead, spin forward, 88 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: there's a lot. I mean, this is now a major 89 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: rebuild going on within the Eagles in terms of the 90 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: front office. But for Chip Kelly, I guess the two 91 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: places and I wrote a piece onthing around the NFL 92 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: site about this what's next for Chip? The two teams 93 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: uh to look at right now, and especially one, the 94 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans rap sheet reported that he had spoke to 95 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: someone in their front office a few weeks back, and 96 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: you know, would they be interested in Chip Kelly? And 97 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: they said, you know, we can't say would be interested 98 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: in him just because he was under contract. But they 99 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: didn't say they weren't interested. Now he's not under contract. 100 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: The other team, I would say you could at least 101 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: put into the mixes the Cleveland Browns, who very nearly 102 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: landed Chip Kelly as the coach three years ago before 103 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: he was lured away back to Philadelphia. Uh, Joe Banner's 104 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: not there anymore. He was involved in the courtship of Kelly. 105 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: But Jimmy haslm still there the owner. Uh so maybe 106 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: they'll make another play. And then, of course the college 107 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: game where he um got rich in the first place 108 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: and became a well known offensive innovator. Is there a 109 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: team in the college ranks that will um woo him away. Well, 110 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: by all accounts, he wants to stay in the NFL, 111 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: and there's no major college jobs available anymore this year. 112 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: So even if he wanted to go back to college, 113 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: he might have. He could be like a really unlikable 114 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: analyst for a year and then he would not enjoy that. Yeah, 115 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: that's what surprises me because this broke an hour an 116 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: hour and a half ago. And I've heard so many 117 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: people say that he belongs in Ologen, that's where he's 118 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: gonna end up. But he's only said that he wants 119 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: to say, and the stay in the NFL. He's repeated 120 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: that many times. Marcus Mariotta, of course, recruited by Chip 121 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: Kelly at Oregon, the Eagles made their play to try 122 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: to get Mariotta move up in the draft, couldn't get him. 123 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: This now is the most real opportunity possible where they 124 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: you know, Mike mclarkey ain't coming back in Tennessee. Maybe 125 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: they the Tennessee brass sees a Kelly Marriotta fit and 126 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: you know, the number one pick. So that's a pretty 127 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: nice job if you're Chip Kelly. Uh to go read 128 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: revitalize the franchise. That's all in the deep distance or 129 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: middle distance at this point. But right now, the genius 130 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: and I got a lot of tweets by the way, 131 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: people like, oh, you must be loving this, and I 132 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: don't like when people get fired. I'm not a soulless man, 133 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: but I have to say, uh, that's what I think 134 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: when thinks the genius did get his come up, as 135 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: in the fact that he was a guy who thought 136 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: he could do it all, and at least in this 137 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: one season small sample, he was proven to be a 138 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: guy that was not such a genius. And always when 139 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: it comes to the National Football League at least, So 140 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens next. Let's now, guys, go to 141 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: the rest of the program. The Sizzler joins us. We 142 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: have some fun.

So we'll talk what's going on 171 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: in the news. We will get into uh, you know, Greg, 172 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: your playoff knowledge will be tested once again, and seedings 173 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: and and things of that nature. We will talk about 174 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: the playoff picture overview, which uh, some things fell into place, 175 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: uh in Monday Night's game between the ben Gals and Broncos, 176 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: And of course that's a game we will talk about 177 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: in a matter of seconds. Even a Monday night football 178 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 1: game that Greg called a classic, always hitting me with 179 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: you know, criticism about dropping classic on things. Is a 180 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: very good game. Classic. Let's you know, come on, got 181 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 1: that a little bit. When did I call it a classic? 182 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: I don't even remember you wrote it in your copy 183 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: of breaking down the Playoff picture. But that's fine because 184 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: you know what it was would make my top ten 185 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: games of the year. I don't know if that qualified 186 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: class games and your now games of the year. You're 187 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: like Dick Vital trying to talk about number one basketball. 188 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: Let me guess you wrote this last night after the game. 189 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: And one thing I'll say about Greg. You know Greg 190 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, like a lot of things 191 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: doesn't matter, you know who cares. But when it comes 192 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: to football, this is real. Greg loves professional football. He 193 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: loves to watch it, he loves to talk about it, 194 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: he loves to write about it. So I think that 195 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 1: enthusiasm spills out onto the page, and you were all 196 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: wired after watching that ot thriller outcomes classic in your lead. 197 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: I don't think that it was in the lead. Maybe 198 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 1: it was. I don't even remember you remember writing this story, 199 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: But how many scotches were in you zero the Bengals Broncos. 200 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: We went into it saying it was gonna be the 201 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: most impactful game of the season in terms of the playoffs, 202 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: and then it delivered an interesting game we haven't seen before. 203 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: I know Mark wanted a nice, low scoring game. He 204 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: got one. There were twists and turns, it was tents, 205 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,839 Speaker 1: it's it would be in the top ten games of 206 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: the year. I promise you maybe I'll make my list. 207 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: That's a good list. That's a good post on the 208 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: Around the NFL page. It's good offseason article to promote 209 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: NFL game pass because a lot of fans constantly tweet 210 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: me asking which game should I watch once the office? 211 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: It starts interesting, interesting, it's all coming together. Uh, we 212 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 1: lot fans of West, by the way, not just football fans, 213 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: West fans. Yeah, you do have a big fan base. 214 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: About now. We're just now that I'm just delivery drops. 215 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: It's about me Vega, Sidney. How are you, Sydney, by 216 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: the way, I'm doing well. Been away for a little while. 217 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: It's going to be back. Welcome back from Utah. And um, 218 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna do some news in a little bit. Sitting 219 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 1: before that, we're gonna talk about the Monday night football game. 220 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: Let's do it. The Denver Broncos have clinched a playoff 221 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: berth in the a f C on a day where 222 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: they entered a very unusual situation for the Broncos on 223 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: Monday Night football. If they won the game, they're in 224 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: the playoffs with a chance to be the number one seed. 225 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: If they would have lost this game, they would have 226 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: a chance going into weeks seventeen to miss the playoffs entirely. 227 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: From to go from for one to seven and out 228 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 1: won't happen because despite falling behind fourteen to nothing, uh, 229 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: they manage a comeback with brock Oswidler leading the way 230 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: at quarterback. They tie the game. Brandon McManus uh ridiculously 231 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: pulls a field goal attempt in the final seconds of 232 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 1: regulation so far left he misses the net. How humiliating kicker. Humiliation, 233 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: but he gets his redemption. They received the ball in 234 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 1: overtime to win the coin toss. Take the ball, by 235 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: the way, Greg, that's what they did. They said, Oh, 236 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: we won the coin test, will take the ball first, 237 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: because it's cool to take the ball and then win 238 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 1: football games. They go down the field. McManus hits the 239 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: field goal, puts him ahead. They get a stop to 240 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: Marcus Ware recovered a mishandled snap by A. J. Mccaren, 241 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: who played pretty well in this game, but not well 242 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: enough final score seventeen. Chris Westling, you wrote up the 243 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: takeaways piece on NFL dot com. Uh, six of them 244 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: in fact, meaty as they are, let's talk about it. 245 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: Your thoughts, Well, we're engaging in hyperbole as regards to 246 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: this game. I thought it was one of the closest 247 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: games of the year. That this game at most points 248 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: in the game after halftime, he thought could have gone 249 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: either way, and they seem to be too very evenly 250 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: matched teams with I thought McCarron outplayed Usweiler pretty handily 251 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: for four quarters. I thought he was the better quarterback 252 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: in this game. A J. Green didn't do him any 253 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: favors in the fourth quarter, dropping one pass that was 254 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: a bomb downfield right in his hands, and stopping his 255 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: route on another pass in the end zone. That's six 256 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: if he runs through the route. That was kind of 257 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: hard to figure out. I'm with you, I I really 258 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: number one. I think that Greg is you got it right. 259 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: This was a top ten game this year. Wait, but 260 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: I think we do we do label no, but we 261 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 1: do label too many games that way. But this was 262 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: just fun to watch because you know, you get to 263 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: the point where we've watched Peyton Manning four thousand times 264 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: and Andy Dalton the bunch, and it's two young quarterbacks 265 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: that I think are pretty well coached at this point 266 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: for where they are. I love Hugh Jackson what he 267 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: does with the angles offense, and AJ McCarron just seemed 268 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: comfortable out there and he kind of he wasn't too 269 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: big for him, and he played fantastically up until the 270 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: final decisive error. But really, I mean, I don't think 271 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 1: this is a team that you can just discount because 272 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: AJ mccarronson at quarterback, he can do almost anything that 273 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: we've seen Dalton do. I will just say, and you know, 274 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: McCarron did play well, but if you look at uh 275 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: and there was some misses like west side of a J. Green, 276 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: but they scored their second touchdown with eight minutes playing 277 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: the second quarter, three points the rest of the way, 278 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: so it wasn't like he was shredding this Broncos defense, 279 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: and they're a fantastic defense. Though they only had one 280 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: drive in the second or two drives in the second 281 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: half where they moved the ball at all, some of 282 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: that's played calling. Hugh Jackson got more conservative in the 283 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: second half with the lead and started running the ball 284 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: a lot more. And you know, McCarron was put in 285 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: so many third down situations and I thought through some 286 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: great passes on third I agree because the Broncos defense 287 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: is the best group in this game. They're the best 288 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: defense in the league. And those touchdowns they got in 289 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: the first half they earned him all those third down passes. 290 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: There was very little window for him to fit the 291 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: ball into and he kept doing it play after play. 292 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: That's hard to do to keep dialing up twelve play 293 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: fourteen play drives. I'm thinking of one throw to Marvin 294 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: Jones which he sailed in the second half where he 295 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: had to be perfect. It wasn't quite perfect. There was 296 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: a first and five after they had a penalty and 297 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: he had an open guy for a first down. He 298 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: missed that throw. You know, you're not gonna hit every 299 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: throw in the game, but when you're playing the Broncos, 300 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: that's the thing you have to almost be perfect. So 301 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: I think they deserve a lot of the credit for 302 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: the win, and Gary Kubiak deserves a lot of credit 303 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: for the win because they made some significant halftime adjusted adjustments. 304 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: They go no huddle in the second half. That works. 305 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: They go zone coverage instead of man to man in 306 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: the second half, and that works, and they get Vernon 307 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: Davis off the field and just go with the other 308 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: two tight ends the whole time, and that seemed to 309 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: work too. So everything Kubiak did really seemed to pay 310 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: off in the second half of that. Daniels was a bad, bad, 311 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: bad individual last night. It was interesting because if if 312 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: you just watched the first quarter, you would have thought 313 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: that Hugh Jackson was coaching circles around Wave Phillips. And 314 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: then after halftime, like you said, the adjustment to the 315 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: zone defense and Kubiaks adjustments. You have to credit the 316 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: Broncos coaches big play in this game. Also, Uh, they're 317 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: up fourteen nothing, Cincinnati is um with eight minutes to play. Uh, 318 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: they go down the field, take it down to the 319 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: two thirty one mark. They hold the ball for six minutes, 320 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: and then Mike Nugent can't kick a forty five yeard 321 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: field goal, so it could have been seventeen nothing with 322 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: the Broncos getting the ball back for one more possession. 323 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: I thought that field goal kind of swung the game 324 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: a little bit. It it got the crowd a little 325 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: more excited. Broncos go down the field, they kick a 326 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: field goal and make the kick at the half and 327 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: then the comeback is on. Uh. So the Bengals really 328 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: had the Broncos on the ropes. And you know, if 329 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: they now don't get to buy, which could be a 330 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: real challenge for them. Now, uh, they are going to 331 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: rue the day. They let this opportunity to slip away 332 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: because they were in total command for most of the 333 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: first half. At sixteen plays in the first half the 334 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: Broncos did rather and the Broncos the Bengals had sixteen 335 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: first downs, so it was a dominant first half. And 336 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 1: that's why I think it was one of the best 337 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: games of the year, because because the two quarterbacks showed 338 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 1: up and did well, and I think the great players 339 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: in this game all played really well. I mean, Marvin 340 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: Jones making place to new A j. Green early was 341 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: making some tough catches. Von Miller, who was very quiet early, 342 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: kind of took the game over late. So all the 343 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: all the players he wanted to see step up, they 344 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: did step up. I enjoyed watching the constant cutaways to 345 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: John Elway going on an emotional roller coaster rewarding. I 346 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: like that kind of stuff in the game. That's why 347 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: you don't get that on when you watch. When we 348 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: watched so many of these games on condensed game pass, 349 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: you don't see some of the little the drapings around 350 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: the action. And I liked Elway maybe thinking everything is 351 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: gonna crumble around him, and then they it doesn't, but 352 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: it will at some point. Because I respect Elway a 353 00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: lot of you. Yeah, I thought because of the stuff 354 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: that time over that and and since this is well, 355 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: I guess they do get a playoff game, but it 356 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: is the last Monday night football game of the year. 357 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: Watching this once again, I just had to think they've passed. 358 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: They've passed the NBC crew. It's official. Tarrico and my books, 359 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 1: Tarrico and Gruden now the best in the game. I think. 360 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: So I struggle, you know, I love watching Gruden does 361 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: a great job. But for me to to turn away 362 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: from Alan Chris, I'm not ready to do it. Two legends, 363 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: I take two legendary teams. They're both great, but sometimes 364 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: there's a new champion. Mark, did you want to share 365 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: your insight via text message before kickoff today on Monday 366 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 1: Night about Mike Rico? I will you know? Tariko had 367 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: his pre game and I texted, I think it was 368 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 1: just too Dan, because I know Dan is a huge, 369 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: huge Hera Tariko I. So I just found the fact 370 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: during his pregame presentation. Here we are a guy, what 371 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: is he like, five three or something. He's a very 372 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: small guy, kind of pudgy, bald, not trying to be 373 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 1: brad pit or anything, but you know what, he's exceedingly 374 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: I was like, this guy just strikes me as massively 375 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: charismatic because he knows what he's doing, and he loves 376 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,919 Speaker 1: what he's doing. And I have, if I have fallen 377 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 1: followed Dan down any path, it's the Mike Tariko path. 378 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,959 Speaker 1: He is my a over a one time Michael. If 379 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: charismatic is the word I would use for Mike, that's 380 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: how I feel about though, you know, and what do 381 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: you feel about him? What word would you use? Industrious? 382 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: You know, maybe he won't be on a primetime soap 383 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: opera anytime soon, but you know that knowledge of the 384 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: game and in the rule book in a way with 385 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 1: words that's attractive in its own way. The word I 386 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: would use for him as professional, Well, he is a professional, 387 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: unlike Bob Costas just kidding. Can't take those words back 388 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: all right. So that was Monday Night football. And we'll 389 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: dig in a little bit later on what this means 390 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: for the a f C playoff picture. Let's now move 391 00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: straight to the news. The football guy theme that we're worthy. 392 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 1: Maybe we will that drawl can only be one man, 393 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: my boy Todd Bowls. Uh, but we will not be 394 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: talking about the Jets today. Well, I'll find a way 395 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: to talk about the Jets at some point, I can 396 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 1: almost promise you that. But right now we are going 397 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 1: to talk about the Bengals because A J. Mccaren, uh 398 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 1: we just talked about, played a very nice game in 399 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: prime time. But on that last play when he uh 400 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,719 Speaker 1: it was a gaff. He did not catch the snap 401 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 1: and DeMarcus Ware recovered. When he went to recover the ball, 402 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 1: he got his wrist injured. That hurts its top ten 403 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: game status. They needed a better ending than botching us 404 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: shotgun snap and McCarron need a better ending and that's 405 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not gonna kill him for that, but 406 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: ultimately he made a total bone headed air that ended 407 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: the game. That's fair. Um. A J mccaren suffered a 408 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: sprained wrist and it's a significant injury. According to NFL 409 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: media insider Ian rap report it is on his non 410 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: throwing hand, but it is. It is unclear at this 411 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: point whether mccaron will be able to start in Week seventeen. 412 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, of course, um is out for the rest 413 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: of the regular season, and rap Sheet reported on Total 414 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: Access on Monday night that he might be out, um, 415 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: you know, beyond the first week of the playoffs. So 416 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: this idea that you know, if they could just get 417 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: through the regular season, even if they don't have a 418 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 1: by Dalton will be ready to go. Potentially, that's probably 419 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: not gonna happen, so he it's more likely Dalton want 420 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,479 Speaker 1: to be ready until the divisional playoffs if the Bengals 421 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: get that far, So that is certainly notable. Uh. And 422 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: if mccaren can't go uh in the season finale. The 423 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: third quarterback is Greg Keith. Keith winning is the answer. 424 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 1: A second year planning out of ball State. He has 425 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: never taken a snap in the league. So listen, Greg, 426 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,360 Speaker 1: let me just throw it to you for a second here. 427 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: I need some playoff permutations and computations. Um, how far 428 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: can the Bengals fall if they lose with a third 429 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: string quarterback in Week seventeen. It wouldn't make a big 430 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: difference there at the three seeds, and they have a 431 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: chance to get to the two seeds like that, they 432 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: have a chance to get to this two seed, and 433 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: so you want to put the pressure on the Broncos, 434 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: who have to host the Chargers later in the day. 435 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: I could see the Broncos losing that game, so you 436 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: want to win to give yourself a chance for the buy. 437 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: I do think mccaren's gonna play based on the reports 438 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: that are out there that I think he'll play through it, 439 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: and and they need him to. And West might be 440 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 1: of the mind that they're better off playing McCarron in 441 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 1: the playoffs. But that does show what a big game 442 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: this was last night, because you could have gotten through 443 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: that first round you get to the final eight, and 444 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: instead now you might have to go with mccaren. If 445 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: he wins you a wild card game, you're really gonna 446 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: take him out for the divisional round. I know it's 447 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: crazy talking. I know Dalton's an m VP candidate, and 448 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 1: then Dan's gonna tell me I'm disrespecting Talton, but I 449 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: can't help the feeling when I watch a jcaren mccaren 450 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: play I just have more confidence in him in a 451 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 1: big game than I do in a a more poised I 452 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 1: see where you're coming from, because in the back of 453 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: your mind, and you are hardly alone, you still can 454 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: picture Dalton coming up small in a big January spot, 455 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: even if we had a lot of evidence telling us 456 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: that he wasn't that guy anymore. If you have a 457 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: young guy evidence that he's not that guy because he 458 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: hasn't played in January, well, he played a great season today, right, 459 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,199 Speaker 1: But that doesn't tell us he's going to come up 460 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: big in the player. It would be to me, it 461 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: would be um, you know, you know, really disrespectful of 462 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis if he went that way. I agree with you. 463 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: I think Dalton took them to what eight, no, and 464 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: ten and won whatever it was. He gets his thumb hurt, 465 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: not his fault. You don't unless McCarron plays out of 466 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 1: his mind. I don't even think. I don't think. I 467 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: don't think Hugh Jackson would do that to Dalton. Yeah, 468 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: I totally agree. But there's there's variations here. It's not 469 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: just Okay, Andy Dalton's back, he's Andy Dalton again. He 470 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: has a broken thumb, so passing. It's not going to 471 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: be completely perfect after saying weeks or whatever. So it's 472 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 1: a variation of like cann he be that guy. He 473 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,120 Speaker 1: also has never had an injury in the NFL where 474 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: he's missed time, so he's coming off of what five 475 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: or five weeks off by then, and you have to 476 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 1: come in versus a guy that's been playing every week 477 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: that is a percent healthy, and then you start making 478 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 1: that decision and we don't know. I mean it'll be now. Well, 479 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 1: that's a fair point too. Well, you're you're also presupposing 480 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: that Dalton isn't a dred percent when he's ready to 481 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: play a playoff game. So I think the question is 482 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: if he were a percent, could he be replaced by McCarron. 483 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: I just I don't see the team doing that. It's 484 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: think thing to do to your locker room too. I 485 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 1: think the idea is here, we don't look at some 486 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: amount of pain regardless. I mean with the broken thumb, 487 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 1: it takes months to truly not just pain, but you 488 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: lose range of motion in your throne. Let's see, it's 489 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 1: gonna be stiffer. I think this is more a conversation 490 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: if mccaren Flames, the Jets and wild Card weekend for 491 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: three thirty yards and three touched own. Yeah, he's gotta 492 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: he's got to make that argument for which your Jets 493 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 1: might be the primary focus of West divistas here. But 494 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: the way it looks right now, we're spelling a Chiefs 495 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: Texans playoff game at the moment, and if that's happening, 496 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: that's definitely the early Saturday game, So it would be 497 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 1: a Sunday Jets spectacular, right. Okay, So that's what's going 498 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: on with the Bengals. Let's move on. We have not 499 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: talked about this yet, so let's touch on it. Uh. 500 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning Al Jazeera, which I know wes you, that's 501 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: a network you are plugged in on Al Jazeer America 502 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,239 Speaker 1: Al Jazeer America, I should say, Um, they released a 503 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: documentary this week. Um, you know. It was on doping 504 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: in sports. It involved a UM some type of former 505 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: Olympic level athlete and doing some undercover camera work in 506 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: digging his way through the ceed world of p d 507 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: s and in over the course of this documentary, Peyton 508 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,199 Speaker 1: Manning's name comes into it. Uh, someone that worked at 509 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: a clinic in ared reference that Peyton and his wife, 510 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: Ashley Manning, had received H H G H ship mints 511 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: to their home and claimed the wife good move. And 512 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: what happens then, of course this blows up when it 513 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 1: gets out there. I think the Huffington Post first did 514 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: a report on it, and since this has come out, 515 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 1: you know, there's a retractions galore, including Charlie Sly, who 516 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: was the employee on the hidden camera that mentioned the Mannings. 517 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 1: Manning angrily denied ever taking p E d s and 518 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: said he's never met Charlie Sly, although he did say 519 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: he has been involved with his clinic, as has his wife, 520 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,199 Speaker 1: but not in any nefarious way. A reporter for the 521 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: Al Jazera America documentary went on The Today Show on 522 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,360 Speaker 1: Tuesday and said that the documentary never directly linked Manning 523 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: to H G H, just the wife in terms of 524 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: ship mints. So that's where you are right now in 525 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: Manning Al Jazeera gate. I mean, it's become so absurd 526 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: that cars and daily played a major role today. How 527 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: about that, Carson Daly. I remember in the nineties watching 528 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: MTVS like the host of the Beach House at Seaside Heights, 529 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 1: and now he's in high octane sit downs on the 530 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 1: Today's Show, with Manning's legacy at stake, one of the 531 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: hardest working men in show business. This is the biggest 532 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: non story that we've reviewed on this podcast since the Flake. 533 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: Why do you know something that we do The guy's 534 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: already recanted. Is the guys already recanted his claim? And 535 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,239 Speaker 1: would it bother you whatsoever? If Paton Manning used H 536 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: G H to get over four next, it would bother 537 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: a lot of people. Wouldn't bother me one bit. I 538 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 1: don't think it was. One thing that really stuck with 539 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: me was the dead Spin article about this there and 540 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 1: they were, you know, a little blasphemy not blasphemous, but 541 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 1: trying to get attention by the hyperbolox the perfect word. 542 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 1: The PDS debate is over, and the point of the 543 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: argument is there's really not that outrage about it anymore. 544 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: Every the discussion about this is about the reporting and 545 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: about Manning's um react s on ESPN, which people have 546 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 1: different feelings about. Some people think there's some pretty suspicious 547 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: things about it. Other people think it was very convincing 548 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: but very little bit. A bit about it is like, well, 549 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: this tarnishes his legacy. I will I will signal back 550 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 1: to January when Mark Brunel was sobbing on live television 551 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: about Tom Brady taking some air out of balls allegedly. 552 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: There will be a large segment of the media and 553 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: population that would view this as Peyton man In committing 554 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: you know, treason against himself in America, even if it 555 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: shouldn't be viewed that way. It would be a massive 556 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: story if you were ever actually linked to all this. 557 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: I hope it doesn't happen. I like Manning as a player. 558 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: I hope that he didn't do anything uh, you know 559 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: that would be seen as illegal because hd H use 560 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: is illegal in the NFL. It has been since two 561 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: thousand fourteen. Yeah, that's the thing. It's a little murky 562 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: whether it was at the time, although they did agree 563 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: in two thousand eleven no more h. The shipments were 564 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: in two thousand and eleven, but they took a while 565 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: for the NFL and the NFL p A to hammer 566 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: out test for HDH. But you know, it's just kind 567 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: of a messy story a story, and I'm with us 568 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: that it feels like a non story, especially when there's 569 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: more fun stuff to be talking about it. But in 570 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: the NFL but when Peyton Manning plus steroids comes out, 571 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: it's going to be a story. We're in a different 572 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: climate now, and athletes bodies is specifically NFL athletes bodies 573 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: or in the news like how how does the NFL 574 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: protect them from themselves? And if you're not allowing things 575 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: like hd H and if you're not allowing marijuana, which 576 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: can be used to help players get over injuries. I 577 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 1: think these are discussions that are gonna happen in the 578 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: next half decade or so. I was when I was 579 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: planning to hang out with West at around noon on Saturday. 580 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: I texted him. I said, Hey, let's get together. Why 581 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: don't I come over in an hour? He texts back, 582 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: hold on. Got away until seven pm, still watching backlogged 583 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: tapes Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday of Al Jazeer America. Call you later. 584 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: I have party with a lot of big ols before, 585 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: but not big Al Jazeer. I mean, your obsession is disturbing. Listen. 586 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: West is still he said, that's an unfiltered news take. 587 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 1: You know you watch CNN and Fox. You know that stuff. 588 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: Watching it through a lens. Al Jazeer America is where 589 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: it's at. I do whrestling out look impersonation of Damache, 590 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 1: impersonating wrestling, strong opinions on news coverage. But it doesn't 591 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 1: involve Algas here. All right, let's move on. It's one 592 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: thing I love about you, Wes. He got strong opinions 593 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: about everything, not quite just about Yeah, it's endearing to me. 594 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: Moving on, Drew Brees and listen all the big buzz 595 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 1: in the off season about Oh, this could be the 596 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: story of the off season, some type of double switch, 597 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: if you ll Drew Brees and Sean Payton going elsewhere 598 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: to another team, leaving the Saints after a long period 599 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: of prosperity together. Not happening. Drew Drew Brees was on 600 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: uh NFL Networks NFL HQ s speaking of his favorite programs. 601 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: Market show you watch every morning with a cup of 602 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: coffee and some Danish. Uh Breeze appeared on h Q 603 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 1: on Tuesday. Was was asked if he sees any scenario 604 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 1: in which he and coach Sean Payton are not back 605 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: in New Orleans this season. He had this to say, No, 606 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: I don't. A plan was put in place, you know, 607 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: throughout last offseason, you know as to how we were 608 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: going to make a run at it in the future. 609 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: While we had high expectations going into this year and 610 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: we fell a little bit short from confident with the character, 611 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: the leadership, the talent that we have. On Sunday rap 612 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: Sheet noted that Breeze and Peyton could be both else 613 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: could both be elsewhere next season. Drew Brees has a 614 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: historically large cap hit um or a cap charge for 615 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: two thousand, sixteen of thirty million dollars. So the Saints 616 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: probably have to figure out a way to make it work. 617 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: But I guess they want to, which makes sense because 618 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: Drew Brees is still one of the top probably six 619 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 1: to eight quarterbacks in football. Well, when did Drew Brees 620 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: get to decide exactly? It Never was up to Drew Brees. 621 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: This doesn't mean anything to me. It means as much 622 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: as Sean Payton making little joke about Twitter reports that 623 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: you gotta have some Sunday Twitter reports. Meanwhile, while while 624 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: his representatives are the ones, you know, throwing this stuff 625 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: out there where he might like to go, who else 626 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: would know where Sean Payton would like to go, By 627 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: the way, when this is coming out yet, you might 628 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: want to go to Los Angeles. Remami. Only people that 629 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: are close to Sean Payton. So this Breeze things means 630 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: nothing to me because it's not up to him. It's 631 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: up to up to Tom Benson and Mickey Louis whatever GM. 632 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: They doesn't want to go to another He's not going 633 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: to go to another team. Well, hold on a change. 634 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: If Sean Payton leaves, that's not up to him. That 635 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: that might change that. I'm just saying it's too early. 636 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: But he can't speak for both of them as a 637 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: package deal. And also the Saints haven't, as far as 638 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: we know, have come to him very point blank and 639 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: said you want to stay here, you gotta take a 640 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 1: major pay cut. That can change everything. To Breeze is 641 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: just what what's he gonna say, Yes, we are thinking 642 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: about leaving one of us. It's probably my coach is 643 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: exploring my options. The Saints are not married to telling 644 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: the truth. We know that he uh, he's gonna have 645 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 1: to renegotiate his contract now, whether that means adding extra 646 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: years and getting more guaranteed money and lowering the figure, 647 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: which probably sounds fine. Did Drew Bees or something that 648 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: hasn't been one to take less money in the past 649 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 1: right now? And but you know, the cap hit thing 650 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: it's bad for the Saints. You know, they're in one 651 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: of the worst situations. But it's really going up a lot. 652 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 1: I think it's going up twelve something million, and it's 653 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 1: gonna go up a lot next year, so that makes 654 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 1: it a lot easier. UM. Finally in the news, UM 655 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 1: Shod Khan came out on Tuesday and announced that Gus 656 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: Bradley the coach of the Jaguars. How long has he 657 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: been there now? Three seasons? That's right, five time. It's 658 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 1: Chip Kelly. Remember he interviewed with the Eagles. He was 659 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 1: the he was the runner up with the Eagles. Yes, 660 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 1: Gus Bradley has had very little success wins and losses. UH, 661 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: to the point where going five and ten this season 662 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: is seen as UM some type of great gain. But 663 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: this quarterback is making progress. They're more you know, competitive 664 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: than they have been in the past. So shad Kan 665 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 1: says Gus Bradley will be back in two thousand and sixteen, 666 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: so you could cross him off the list. Um, Greg, 667 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: did does this mean anything to you? I found the 668 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: most interesting part of this story that they did. The 669 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 1: thing Shod Khan is that is where in this statement 670 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,359 Speaker 1: he made it clear this guy has to win next year, 671 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 1: so this was the on notice we He said something 672 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: to the effect that we fully expect this will be 673 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 1: the best year of his career and will be in 674 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 1: a much different, you know position next year. At this time. Translation, 675 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 1: if if you're six and ten again, that's it. If 676 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: it you know you're gonna have to have a winning 677 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: record is probably the bar something like that next season, 678 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,240 Speaker 1: which makes sense. I like this move for one specific 679 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,879 Speaker 1: reason because you've got a lot of potential vacancies opening up, 680 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: and while Jacksonville has to be an attractive opening to 681 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 1: certain potential coaches because of a non knee jerk reaction 682 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,720 Speaker 1: owner who is patient, and you've got a potential franchise 683 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 1: quarterback in place. Still, you're in a bad division, and 684 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,919 Speaker 1: you've got a GM and a coach that are very 685 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 1: happy working together. I would take that over blowing things 686 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 1: up and hoping it works somewhere else. I understand the 687 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 1: progress has not been what you want from teams, but 688 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: there is progress that can lead to a quick turnaround 689 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 1: type season next year, especially on offense. They gotta fix 690 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 1: that defense. And I wonder if this agreement behind the 691 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: scenes came with some of your assistants. Some of these 692 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 1: people are going to be gone as part of this, 693 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 1: maybe not, I don't know. Tangible signs of progress on 694 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,320 Speaker 1: offenses is all about the quarterback. He can't just stunt 695 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 1: like Borders development now after he showed progress and you know, 696 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: in their defense their number three overall picking the draft 697 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: towards a c L before the season. Yeah, and he 698 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 1: says work remains to be done to be where we 699 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: expect at this point next season, which is well above 700 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 1: where we stand today. So you know when when some 701 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,320 Speaker 1: games and you'll stay. One more note here, Josh Freeman 702 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: has signed with the Cults, who maybe Steven Morris if 703 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 1: he goes down with a little Josh Freeman. It wouldn't 704 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 1: be shocking if Josh Freeman started a game with playoff 705 00:35:54,440 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 1: implications in the year two thousand and sixteen. A don't 706 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 1: you think you wearing a second? Don't you think he's 707 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 1: got a chance to start over Stephen? Yah? I mean, 708 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 1: I mean this week he could start over Stephen Morris 709 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 1: because it sounds like Whitehurst. Wait, but then still need 710 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 1: a nine team parlay to make the playoffs. I'm saying 711 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:21,439 Speaker 1: a playoff game with playoff implication, Yeah, Okay, that's what's 712 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 1: happening uh in the NFL today. Uh, let's now look forward. 713 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 1: Now we're gonna leave this very Greg heavy show. You know, 714 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 1: that's what the listeners have been as podcast. You know, 715 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 1: he's got a celebrity friend. Everything's going great. For what 716 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 1: else has been heavy? Heavy? Greg about it? I don't 717 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: know in a good way. I'm just I'm leaning on 718 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 1: you a lot, and I'm gonna do it again right 719 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 1: now as we talk about, uh, the playoff picture oilverview 720 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:50,279 Speaker 1: with our signature NFL playoff robit. Greg Rosenwald, the man 721 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: knows all the permutations and computations when it comes to 722 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 1: the playoff picture. Uh. You wrote up the a f 723 00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:01,399 Speaker 1: C one late um last night NFC picture before that? 724 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,840 Speaker 1: What's the picture looking like? Let's start in the A 725 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:08,240 Speaker 1: f C. Greg, Well, it's not an exciting week seventeen overall, 726 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 1: I think your Jets really are the most intriguing thing 727 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,360 Speaker 1: about this final week. Jets, of course are in with 728 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 1: a win. Oh blow it, please don't blow it against 729 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,800 Speaker 1: the Bills in Buffalo Steelers. Their only route in is 730 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 1: with the Jets loss and a victory, which maybe we 731 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,840 Speaker 1: shouldn't assume at this point over the Browns. So that 732 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 1: why that's the only route in. That's what the Denver 733 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: loss did last night. Because Denver is now in, there's 734 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 1: only that one spot left. Pittsburgh has no other way 735 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 1: to get in. This is setting up exactly how Dan 736 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:40,759 Speaker 1: said it. What a couple of weeks ago when we 737 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 1: had a hit to decide how the Jets would break 738 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: Dan's heart, and he said they would win against the Patriots, 739 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 1: go into week seventeen and lose to Rex's Bills. That 740 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,799 Speaker 1: is definitely on the table. I am, you think it's 741 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: gonna happen. Well, I think it has a chance to happen. 742 00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,839 Speaker 1: I think that you got to punch your money where 743 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 1: your mouth is because we go into weeks seventeen and 744 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:05,919 Speaker 1: our picks you're tied with coming at you that cider. Yeah, 745 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,359 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick the Bills. I love it, But go ahead, West. 746 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:14,399 Speaker 1: It wasn't important. But yeah, here's the thing. I'm uh yes, 747 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 1: I'm always kind of on guard that they're gonna kill me, 748 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 1: but I'm I'm confident they will take care of business 749 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 1: in this game. Um, I think that they will. But 750 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 1: would it stun me if something bad happened? Uh? No, wouldn't, 751 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 1: and that would change. Let's say, okay, let's say the 752 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,720 Speaker 1: Jets win AFC pictures locked up in the wild card 753 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,840 Speaker 1: rankings the Pats. What are the Pats lose? If the 754 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,319 Speaker 1: Pats lose, the Broncos can get that number one seed. 755 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 1: They suit up at different times. Pats are playing early, 756 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 1: they can clinch it early. By the time the Broncos play, 757 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 1: they'll know what's at stake and they could get into 758 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,359 Speaker 1: that one seed. The Bengals cannot get a one seed, 759 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 1: but they can get a buy and I would watch 760 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: out for that. Chargers team played a little better last 761 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,359 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I don't think I don't think. Yeah, 762 00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: the defense play, I don't think their Broncos are gonna 763 00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 1: run away and high. So the Chiefs still have that 764 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 1: chance to win the a f C West. Chiefs need 765 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 1: to win at home against Oakland. That's not an easy game, 766 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 1: but they moved it so the times it's starting at 767 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 1: the same time as the Broncos and they'll be facing 768 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 1: off for the a f C West title. Then all right, 769 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:17,760 Speaker 1: let's take a look now at the NFC playoff picture. Uh, 770 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 1: five teams angling for seeds, says our headline on NFL 771 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 1: dot Com slash around the NFL Redskins locked into the 772 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: four seed. Uh, let's talk about the Packers vikings scenario. Greg, 773 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 1: Why is this one a little tasty? Because if you're 774 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,399 Speaker 1: a Packers fan, wouldn't you rather be on the road 775 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 1: in Washington then host a game? Uh, potentially against the 776 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 1: Seahawks the great it's so good. So you're suggesting Green 777 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,719 Speaker 1: Bay maybe should just lose. I mean, that's what they've 778 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,520 Speaker 1: been doing naturally anyway, So maybe it does take care 779 00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 1: of itself. So you'd rather go to Washington and have 780 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,400 Speaker 1: home game playoff game. Yeah, and then if you even 781 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,839 Speaker 1: play it out a little further, well, you never know 782 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,880 Speaker 1: who's gonna win the other game. But in theory, maybe 783 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 1: maybe you'd rather go to Carolina than Arizona the second week. 784 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 1: To you know, no team would ever actually do this. 785 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that it's a serious consideration. Packers want 786 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,759 Speaker 1: to get some good mojo after the last few weeks. 787 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,799 Speaker 1: They wouldn't purposefully do it. But you can go out 788 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,440 Speaker 1: there and not play with as much mojo or not 789 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,320 Speaker 1: be not have the same inspiration that you would normally 790 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,000 Speaker 1: and have shown they can do that. Too, and that 791 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,520 Speaker 1: Seattle Arizona game. The way that last week worked out 792 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: really helped out in terms of interest because the one 793 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,400 Speaker 1: seed still up for grabs and they're gonna play at 794 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,399 Speaker 1: the same time. The Panthers and the Cardinals are both 795 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 1: going for it. I mean, the Seahawks Cardinals game strikes 796 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,560 Speaker 1: me is very strange. Very little at stake to nothing 797 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 1: at stake for the Seahawks, I kind of and they've 798 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 1: got some injuries. Yeah, I don't I'd be surprised if 799 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,279 Speaker 1: the Seahawks played a win and if they get that 800 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: six seed, you're playing at the NFC North champion, which 801 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 1: is a tougher game I think, then at the Redskins, 802 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,959 Speaker 1: but they probably don't care about that. How many times 803 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:05,840 Speaker 1: have the Seahawks and the Redskins played in the playoffs, 804 00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 1: So I think this is three straight times that the 805 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,440 Speaker 1: Redskin the Redskins have lost to the Seahawks. I believe 806 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,560 Speaker 1: three straight times they've made the playoffs they lost Seahawks. 807 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,919 Speaker 1: This would be the fourth including the beast Quake game, 808 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 1: right the RG three, Yes, that was the Red um 809 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,799 Speaker 1: So guys excited about this week seventeen. I mean, I 810 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,400 Speaker 1: know you're not it's not a lot of juice, not 811 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 1: a ton of juice. That's what is the Sunday night game. 812 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,799 Speaker 1: That's the n NFC North game, Packers Vikings. I mean 813 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 1: that it would be better if it was like the 814 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,719 Speaker 1: loser was out, but that would have given a little pop, 815 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,319 Speaker 1: But we're not going to get that. I think you're right. 816 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 1: The Jets Bills game is the biggest game of the week. 817 00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,760 Speaker 1: So how come that's being played at one pm? Because 818 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 1: they just were worried the Jets would somehow like if 819 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: the Steelers lost again early, then the Jets would be 820 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 1: in and then it just would be a you know, 821 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,640 Speaker 1: I would kill that decision because even if even if 822 00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,839 Speaker 1: that happened, the idea of Rex first the Jets yet 823 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,080 Speaker 1: it would be much less impactful. But I just want 824 00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 1: to see that at night. I call this flex scheduling 825 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 1: in week seventeen the Bill Pullian rule. Thank you Bill 826 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,359 Speaker 1: Pullian forgiving us this rule. Did the game's actually means 827 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 1: something because you started resting your starters in week eleven 828 00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,960 Speaker 1: or whatever? Oh yeah, you're I think and I know 829 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,040 Speaker 1: the year it might have really turned was the year 830 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,640 Speaker 1: the Titans had a win in in on Sunday Night football, 831 00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:23,719 Speaker 1: and the Colts didn't even play their star and who 832 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,320 Speaker 1: got knocked out of the playoffs because of that? Couldn't 833 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:31,360 Speaker 1: happen to a better team. The Browns. Oh sorry, they 834 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 1: went ten and seven for the first time in like 835 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 1: thirty years, and they lost because the Cults decided to 836 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,399 Speaker 1: put everyone on the couch. Oh it's fine. I don't 837 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 1: care at all. I'm of the Bruce Arians mindset. They 838 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,880 Speaker 1: schedule you for sixteen games, sixteen, he said, they're playing, 839 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,040 Speaker 1: They're going all out. How weird is it that the 840 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:47,799 Speaker 1: Seahawks will be two and four of the division if 841 00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,520 Speaker 1: they lose that game they get swept by two different teams, 842 00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:54,760 Speaker 1: the Rams and the Cards. Uh, good work, as always 843 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: until next year, until next year exactly. Uh.

You know you can talk about 885 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,359 Speaker 1: your h G H and your deflate gate and your 886 00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,560 Speaker 1: teams trying to lose down the stretch to improve their 887 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,920 Speaker 1: draft picks, talking about integrator of the game. I'm the 888 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:34,240 Speaker 1: competition committee and I resolved fixed the sports biggest problem 889 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:38,200 Speaker 1: at its space. The most basic play in the past 890 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,440 Speaker 1: heavy era is the forward pass. And nobody knows what 891 00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:43,480 Speaker 1: a catch is, not the players, not the coaches, not 892 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:48,720 Speaker 1: the officials. As the competition committee. We resolved to figure 893 00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:53,200 Speaker 1: out what it catches in the NFL. That's a great resolution. 894 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,480 Speaker 1: Why don't you want to go first? That's a home run. Yeah, 895 00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:58,680 Speaker 1: you just stole mine. I wish I went first. I 896 00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,000 Speaker 1: was gonna have a bland Dino T just one. Well, 897 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,879 Speaker 1: let's here, that was That was essentially it. I'm gonna 898 00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,560 Speaker 1: have to improvise. Greg basically did not do the assignment. 899 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,319 Speaker 1: Ever went first. Was going to say, well that was mine. No, 900 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:11,839 Speaker 1: I was gonna do the Blandina. I'll get a little 901 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:16,160 Speaker 1: like a Blandino. Uh, And we love Dino Blandino. Maybe 902 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 1: he'll come on the show one day. We talked to 903 00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 1: him about how he's the hardest job in professional sports. Um, 904 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,760 Speaker 1: you know, it's something to get rid of the Xbox controller. 905 00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:26,319 Speaker 1: Let's give him something a little more official professional. Where 906 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:31,400 Speaker 1: does he have the Xbox? Every time he's on television 907 00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,400 Speaker 1: going over, he's holding a remote control or a gamer 908 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:40,440 Speaker 1: control that you know, it's the NFL. Let's give him 909 00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:42,359 Speaker 1: something a little like at least make it gold or something. 910 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,120 Speaker 1: I don't know, it would help not to get too 911 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,400 Speaker 1: far off topic here, but we're talking Blandino. Did you 912 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,080 Speaker 1: notice the part of the game last night where Ed 913 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 1: Hockeyley missed the face mask and then a minute later 914 00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:54,920 Speaker 1: he just was, oh, yeah, there was a face mask 915 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,600 Speaker 1: on that play, and every everyone had the same thought 916 00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,080 Speaker 1: that I did too, Like I think Blandinos get and 917 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,319 Speaker 1: in those guys ears now from New York and what's 918 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,600 Speaker 1: wrong with that? You know? I think I think it's okay. 919 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:07,640 Speaker 1: I don't think that that's probably not what happened. I 920 00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,280 Speaker 1: think I saw somewhere else where they said that probably 921 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,520 Speaker 1: couldn't have happened. But if they somehow have some technology 922 00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:16,319 Speaker 1: that we're not well aware of, I like it. I 923 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 1: do too. I think do you think they should be 924 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,000 Speaker 1: honest about Yeah? I think they will. They said in 925 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,919 Speaker 1: the playoffs are going to be more involved. Maybe they'll 926 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,560 Speaker 1: just change it. Maybe that should be part of Blandino's 927 00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,440 Speaker 1: resolution in the competition. Let let Dean have more power. 928 00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,680 Speaker 1: Let's let them. Really, you can buy a top button 929 00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:36,360 Speaker 1: for shirt next time. Um, so you don't have a route, 930 00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:40,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a resolution and some other thoughts. Uh, 931 00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:44,279 Speaker 1: this what's gonna be for Mike Tomlin, you know, don't 932 00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:47,319 Speaker 1: just use those He's gonna resolve to not just use 933 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,680 Speaker 1: those good pregame speeches and good pregame plans when you're 934 00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:55,000 Speaker 1: playing good teams. What team has blown it against bad 935 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:59,560 Speaker 1: squads more consistently than Mike Tomlin and the Steelers over 936 00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,799 Speaker 1: the last seven years. It happens. It's it's not a 937 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,320 Speaker 1: new thing at all. When when they have a cupcake 938 00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 1: on the schedule, it's like they don't really show up. 939 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:08,840 Speaker 1: So Mike Tomlin, who thought of as one of the 940 00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,640 Speaker 1: best coaches in the league, he should resolve to bring 941 00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,960 Speaker 1: his a game against the lower levels of the league 942 00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,320 Speaker 1: and they would have a lot more success. It's a 943 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:20,520 Speaker 1: good one. Damna check likes that one. It's a nice resolution. 944 00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,000 Speaker 1: And yeah, they were talking about like Taylor to it. 945 00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:24,879 Speaker 1: He said, I don't know. That's always been the case. 946 00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,319 Speaker 1: That's what That's what it's always happened. I mean there's 947 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,640 Speaker 1: numbers that prove it too. A couple of years ago 948 00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,600 Speaker 1: they lost the three teams with there were three games 949 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,040 Speaker 1: under five hundred. It always happens under tom and I 950 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,080 Speaker 1: think they get too confident. It's been a real rough 951 00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:42,800 Speaker 1: road for those Steelers. That's a good one. It's my backup, 952 00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:44,560 Speaker 1: but I'll take it. That was pretty good back up. 953 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,720 Speaker 1: Here is my resolution, and I did um. I had 954 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,919 Speaker 1: um for Mark's Christmas. We had secrets in the last 955 00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:54,200 Speaker 1: week and I said, oh, maybe, uh, Johnny Manzel could 956 00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:57,680 Speaker 1: stay with Mark in his little backhouse and watch after him. 957 00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:59,640 Speaker 1: But then I realized that's not really a gift Mark 958 00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:01,960 Speaker 1: for you. But because that means you can't have fun 959 00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,520 Speaker 1: in the off season, we need to blow off some steam. 960 00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,560 Speaker 1: So my backup plan is we're gonna take Johnny. We're 961 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,839 Speaker 1: gonna set him to Russia in the off season. Uh, 962 00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:16,440 Speaker 1: find Rockies cabin from Rocky for no TMZ sports, no Instagram, 963 00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:24,440 Speaker 1: no cell reception, you know, no for loco, and just 964 00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:27,040 Speaker 1: leave him there until O t a s I don't 965 00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:28,840 Speaker 1: I don't even care if he gets into the Russian 966 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,480 Speaker 1: vodka supply. You know, have at it. Be responsible about it, 967 00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,560 Speaker 1: you know, but work out, do the Rocky workouts in 968 00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,880 Speaker 1: the mountains. Uh, just stay out of trouble. We'll come 969 00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:42,439 Speaker 1: get you in April. For Tis to the grocery store 970 00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,719 Speaker 1: and gets like seven hundred pounds of potatoes. I hope 971 00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,239 Speaker 1: this doesn't turn into an into the wild scenario. But 972 00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,480 Speaker 1: other than they're very happy with this. I think you 973 00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,000 Speaker 1: might want to rethink the location. Just if you're if 974 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,799 Speaker 1: you're looking into him, avoid trouble and underworld dealings and 975 00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:00,640 Speaker 1: lawless anxiety. I don't know if Russia the place to go. 976 00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:05,600 Speaker 1: He's gonna be in the middle. Have you seen rocket? 977 00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:09,440 Speaker 1: Not Moscow or anything? No no way out. And even 978 00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:13,120 Speaker 1: if like uh, you know, the Russian Putin sends his 979 00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,520 Speaker 1: goons out there, it will be the roads will be 980 00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:17,359 Speaker 1: so snow covered they want to be able to get 981 00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,399 Speaker 1: to him. They'll be that situation. And I do want 982 00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:21,960 Speaker 1: to I do have a second one. I want to 983 00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,920 Speaker 1: throw this someone out to the people at NBC. And 984 00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:27,480 Speaker 1: it is Uh. I don't know if it's ironic or 985 00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:32,880 Speaker 1: coincidental that our money drop today was about Carrie Underwood. Um, 986 00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,480 Speaker 1: my new year's resolution is to write a new jingle 987 00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:41,640 Speaker 1: for the misunderstood but undeniably talented Carrie Underwood replaced the 988 00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:45,480 Speaker 1: waiting all Day for Sunday Night theme was something more palatable. 989 00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,719 Speaker 1: I will write it myself. I wrote the team of 990 00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,279 Speaker 1: a t N theme which went off the rails. Not 991 00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:54,840 Speaker 1: rails is not the right time. It blew up in 992 00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:56,920 Speaker 1: a great way. People love that son, that thing with 993 00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,640 Speaker 1: top top the charts. Just here the lyrics, A couple 994 00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:02,480 Speaker 1: of lyrics from waiting all day for Sunday Night. And 995 00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:04,600 Speaker 1: you tell me if if it's a source material or 996 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:09,279 Speaker 1: the performer, that's to blame. Um, all right, Sunday night? 997 00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,520 Speaker 1: Where are you? What? What? What does that even mean? 998 00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,480 Speaker 1: It's on Sunday night? Uh, waiting for the game that 999 00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:18,319 Speaker 1: leads Red white and blue? What is this? Well, that's 1000 00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:20,680 Speaker 1: just the lyric sheet bleeds Red white and Blue. They 1001 00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:22,880 Speaker 1: probably change it to leads because they didn't want to 1002 00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:26,120 Speaker 1: be Uh. And that's not the only jingoism in here. 1003 00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:30,120 Speaker 1: Get on your feet for a Star Spangled Fight? Did 1004 00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:34,920 Speaker 1: they hired Toby Keith's written my favorite was always Alan 1005 00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,840 Speaker 1: Chris are the best then and then they shoehorned Tafoy 1006 00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,360 Speaker 1: in there. But it's get on your feet for a 1007 00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:46,080 Speaker 1: Star Spangled Fight more than a game. It's every fans right. Well, 1008 00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:47,759 Speaker 1: they should have gone one sense, should have gone with 1009 00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:52,759 Speaker 1: d Light. Well, if if she's a real artist, you know, 1010 00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:55,560 Speaker 1: she should have some control of the material that she does, 1011 00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:57,759 Speaker 1: and if she doesn't believe in that material, you know, 1012 00:51:57,840 --> 00:51:59,360 Speaker 1: make a stand as a real I mean she's not 1013 00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:01,640 Speaker 1: Bob Dylan. I don't think she Yeah, I don't think 1014 00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:04,919 Speaker 1: she's known as an artist. I listen. I'm just saying, 1015 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,759 Speaker 1: let me get NBC. If you're listening, if you want 1016 00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:11,239 Speaker 1: to sponsor the show, does that work? I don't know. Uh, 1017 00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,560 Speaker 1: let's talk. I'm with you, and and we can make 1018 00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:18,480 Speaker 1: a better song. Finally, Mark, let's hear your It can't 1019 00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:21,359 Speaker 1: get worse. That song. Well, mine is for Rex Ryan, 1020 00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:26,359 Speaker 1: and it's very simple. Stop talking, and it starts right now. 1021 00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:28,640 Speaker 1: And here's how I do this. Because you can't just 1022 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:30,759 Speaker 1: ask him to do that. It's not he can't do that. 1023 00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:34,840 Speaker 1: He knows he can't. I get defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman 1024 00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:37,799 Speaker 1: to go down to the local Wegmans and Buffalo picking 1025 00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:41,839 Speaker 1: up three items. A tube of crazy glue, a roll 1026 00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,480 Speaker 1: of three m nuclear grade duct tape in one gigantic 1027 00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:49,840 Speaker 1: storm blanket. Have Thurman glue Rex Ryan's lips with the 1028 00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:53,920 Speaker 1: crazy glue very simple. Then have Thurman wrapped the nuclear 1029 00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:59,040 Speaker 1: grade duct tape around Rex's head twenty seven times, very tightly, 1030 00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,440 Speaker 1: makes sure that Rex cannot budge from the neck up, 1031 00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,600 Speaker 1: not even an inch. Then have thurm and swirl the 1032 00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:09,400 Speaker 1: iron and fused storm blanket around Rex Ryan's head and 1033 00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:12,359 Speaker 1: keep it in place until early September. We will all 1034 00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:17,000 Speaker 1: benefit could breathe in the scenario kind of This is 1035 00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:20,919 Speaker 1: definitely the most likely segment of the podcast to ever 1036 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,480 Speaker 1: be that's gonna be ever be used for evidence in 1037 00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:27,200 Speaker 1: a trial. Yeah, this sounds like a sneaky murder plot. Well, 1038 00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:31,040 Speaker 1: you need to take these steps to quiet him at 1039 00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:32,440 Speaker 1: this Why don't we just send him off to the 1040 00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:39,320 Speaker 1: I don't want Rex and John Manzel together. That's another resolution. 1041 00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,120 Speaker 1: Change your name to John. That would help. Doesn't want 1042 00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:44,600 Speaker 1: I'm still feeling bad to all our Russian listeners for 1043 00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:47,000 Speaker 1: calling in Leningrad. I don't think that's been the case. 1044 00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:52,360 Speaker 1: Said send him to what is St. Petersburg? Sorry, Russian listeners. 1045 00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:59,680 Speaker 1: Greg always on the wrong side of Russia. Um, it's dramatic, Mark, 1046 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:04,480 Speaker 1: I feel like the thing I like about your contributions 1047 00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:08,520 Speaker 1: as we see into Mark like a different No, it 1048 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,479 Speaker 1: removed Rex Ryan from our life for the entire off season. 1049 00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:13,640 Speaker 1: I'm thinking of all of us, how many less posts 1050 00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:16,960 Speaker 1: would that be forever? It's true. It's true, and I 1051 00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,240 Speaker 1: will say the post that we do in the offseason. 1052 00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:22,879 Speaker 1: There is a theme here and some connective tissue, both 1053 00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:26,520 Speaker 1: with the Christmas giveaway when Mark you gave your gift 1054 00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:30,400 Speaker 1: to West and it also tied into the Ravens being disbanded. 1055 00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:35,239 Speaker 1: This one ties into Rex Ryan being tortured relentlessly. I'd 1056 00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,120 Speaker 1: like to use the word you're getting Well, that would 1057 00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,719 Speaker 1: be what we would tell the media, and this is 1058 00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,160 Speaker 1: would be the reality. So you're getting a little gift 1059 00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:47,439 Speaker 1: to yourself in these two and that's good. Yeah, guy, 1060 00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:52,120 Speaker 1: I got one too. I actually had one very similar 1061 00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:54,359 Speaker 1: to markcase. It was a little less violent, but it 1062 00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,279 Speaker 1: was basically like Rex, let your actions speak louder than 1063 00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:02,480 Speaker 1: your words. But I also think it seen Rob Gronkowski, 1064 00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:08,600 Speaker 1: I would like you to find a nice girl, settled down. Wow. Interesting, now, 1065 00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:13,400 Speaker 1: I just think it's time. Are you that girl? He's 1066 00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:16,040 Speaker 1: a little he's a little to life in the fast Line, right, yeah, 1067 00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:17,480 Speaker 1: a little bit. If I were to pick a pat, 1068 00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,920 Speaker 1: it would be Jules. Jules is wait a second Edelman. 1069 00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,560 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she's a huge Edelman. A second Edelman is 1070 00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:27,600 Speaker 1: a handsome guy. But that guy, to me, first of all, 1071 00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:30,719 Speaker 1: it's flots messed up and that's not a truck. Secondly, 1072 00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,520 Speaker 1: he is very he seems very like full of himself. 1073 00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:35,520 Speaker 1: I would think you would like a more down to earth, 1074 00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:40,120 Speaker 1: a man of the woods and people that like Gronkowski 1075 00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:46,680 Speaker 1: is checking. The other thing is, why do you why 1076 00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:48,879 Speaker 1: do you think that Gronk needs to be tamed? I mean, 1077 00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,680 Speaker 1: he's a guy. As a Patriots fan, I'd be worried 1078 00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,040 Speaker 1: to find a nice girl. This feels like a failed 1079 00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,279 Speaker 1: shot at me. I'm fifteen years older than Gronk and 1080 00:55:56,320 --> 00:56:01,080 Speaker 1: I haven't settled down. It was. I don't know why 1081 00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,160 Speaker 1: he has to settle down. The man's only twenty six 1082 00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:04,960 Speaker 1: years or all I'm saying as a Patriots I don't 1083 00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:06,920 Speaker 1: want to mess with what's working for you. Know what 1084 00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:09,560 Speaker 1: you're keeping his mind clear right now is working to 1085 00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:11,680 Speaker 1: Once again, leaning on a rocky analogy, you don't want 1086 00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,759 Speaker 1: Gronk to lose the eye of the tiger exactly. Well, Greg, 1087 00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:16,680 Speaker 1: it's all gonna offer rumbling down for you and the 1088 00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:19,120 Speaker 1: Patriots at some point, So why not start with a 1089 00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:23,000 Speaker 1: Gronk marriage? But wait, but back to the original point, Sidney, 1090 00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:26,040 Speaker 1: why do you want Gronk to find love rather than 1091 00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,800 Speaker 1: to continue to, you know, have his summer of Gronks 1092 00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:31,080 Speaker 1: and all that stuff and just kind of be the 1093 00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:34,160 Speaker 1: essence of the frat boy forever. I don't know. I 1094 00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:36,440 Speaker 1: just I think that maybe that would complete him in 1095 00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:40,480 Speaker 1: a way spiritual fulfillment. Yeah like that. Also Kirk Cousins 1096 00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:43,239 Speaker 1: find a new catchphrase. But that's that point. Just got 1097 00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:45,839 Speaker 1: a lot of them. It's all relevant. She's got more 1098 00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:48,000 Speaker 1: opinions than I do. I like that, all right. So 1099 00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,880 Speaker 1: that's Tuesday's episode of the Around the NFL Podcast.
