00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: I had a great weekend. I watched you to know that.

46
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: My wife went up to Vermont.

47
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:50,800

49
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 4: I ordered enough.

50
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: Chinese food to feed a small army. It just sat back,

51
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: watched boards, just hung out. A was was it grad.

52
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: I didn't even get dressed, didn't even shower for the

53
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: whole weekend.

54
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 5: It was.

55
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 4: It was a great week and best week to me.

56
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 3: This is as a trophy husband, your only job, so

57
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 3: I mean, really don't have to do too terribly much

58
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 3: during the week.

59
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: He didn't have to do a whole heck of a

60
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 2: lot the bills laws, so I don't have to send

61
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: my wife to the super Bowl, So she's not gonna

62
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: go there. She still may go to Italy for the Olympics,

63
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,119
Speaker 2: but she at least she's not going to the super Bowl.

64
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 4: So there you go.

65
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 3: That makes you happy because you like to see other

66
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 3: fan bases and friends of yours as miserable as you are.

67
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, you're root against San Francisco because of

68
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: Rich Davis U and because of Mark Willard.

69
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 4: So I roote against for that which you Rich Davis.

70
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 5: No, you know, okay, I.

71
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 4: Just root against him.

72
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: So because I just root against other other host team,

73
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 2: I have to have it that way.

74
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 4: I'm root against.

75
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: Seattle because I think with Dan Buyer's as Seahawks fan,

76
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: so and I definitely root against the Patriots.

77
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 4: I hate Patriot fans.

78
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 2: No disrespect to the Patriot fans out there listening in Boston.

79
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 3: Well, what do you This might be a dumb question, yeah,

80
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: But how do you handle the fact that, like you

81
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 3: and and know we're both dolphin fans, if you always

82
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 3: root against everyone else's teams?

83
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 4: Well, what do you mean? We're both dolphin fans.

84
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 3: So I'm just saying, it just seems odd that you

85
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 3: just decide to choose that you're going to be anti

86
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 3: every single team that one of our hosts, our fellow

87
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 3: friends here Fox Sports Radio root for.

88
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 5: It just seems odd to me that.

89
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: I'll be bad, you know that. Yeah, I'm a bad person.

90
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: My Rams won today, so I'm happy about that. Now

91
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 2: they're your Ramsha, that's for sure. There you go, all right, Well, congratulations.

92
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you. And I lived in La a

93
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 4: long time. I like to see.

94
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: I'm glad they won. I don't know why Chicago's during

95
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: the ball downfield. I'm sure we're going to get into that.

96
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: I wanted second and eight and you're at midfield.

97
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 4: I have no idea why.

98
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: Well, I'm I mean, in fairness, they were just kind

99
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: of throwing the ball around and things were happening. Did

100
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 3: you see the numbers on that completion by one Caleb Williams?

101
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 3: It was statistically I think they said it had a

102
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 3: seventeen percent chance of even being completely which I thought

103
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 3: was ridiculously high.

104
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 5: To begin with. But then, I mean, I get what

105
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 5: you're saying.

106
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 3: And by the way, if you're just tuning in, welcome

107
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 3: The AFC and NFC championship games are set rams at Seahawks,

108
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 3: Patriots and Broncos. But no bo Knicks will talk about

109
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 3: it all night long here on Fox Sports Radio with

110
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 3: Arni and Plank. But I mean, in fairness, they were

111
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 3: just kind of flinging the ball around. I mean the Bears,

112
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 3: there wasn't a really good set offensive plan. It was

113
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: all right, throw the ball up, don't get a fourth down,

114
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: and have our defense make some place to save it

115
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 3: for us. I was pretty much the approach. It seemed

116
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 3: like they had all game long anyway.

117
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 5: Right right.

118
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: But I mean once they got into overtime and they

119
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 2: got the midfield when it was second to eight, and

120
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: you could tell they were being very cautious. You can't

121
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 2: be downfield like that, especially when there were two guys

122
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 2: covering the one receiver. So a big mistake there probably

123
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 2: wasn't his mistake that it got picked off.

124
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 4: It was just a bad call, you know, bad bad thing.

125
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: You should have probably just checked on down and just

126
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 2: keep throwing those little small passes. If you're gonna keep

127
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: get gonna give your first downs. All you needed was

128
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 2: what fifteen more yards? So you know, what are you

129
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 2: throwing it down for for? For twenty thirty yards? I

130
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 2: don't understand that.

131
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 3: Maybe they thought they had to play, But again I'll

132
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 3: go back to you know you kind of you just

133
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 3: don't complete a pass like they did to get to

134
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 3: overtime to begin with, and why not. Arnie's play that

135
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 3: he is talking about is in overtime after forcing the

136
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 3: Rams on a three and out, the Bears had several

137
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 3: key conversions on what ended up being it was only

138
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 3: it was a ten plate drive that only went thirty

139
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 3: six yards, which is kind of wild with their overtime possession,

140
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 3: but they picked up a key fourth down and on

141
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 3: a second and eight play at the Rams forty eight

142
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 3: yard line, Williams threw deep and he was intercepted by

143
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 3: a Muscoge Oklahoma product, and then the Rams ended up

144
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 3: kicking the game winning field goal twenty twenty to seventeen.

145
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 3: Your complaint seems to be that you're mad that they

146
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:20,799
Speaker 3: threw the ball in that situation.

147
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 4: Well, I look like I said, I'm not a Chicago

148
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 4: fan or anything like that.

149
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm not throwing the ball down field of

150
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 2: thirty yards when when I away need fifteen yards hand

151
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: up in overtime to get the victory.

152
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 4: You know, I want to know what's going through your mind.

153
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: But really, and you know what you're doing is he

154
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 2: kind of burying the lead here, Chris, Because Okay, the

155
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 2: NFL's got.

156
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 4: A major problem.

157
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 2: You know that, right If I had to say, Chris,

158
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 2: what's the one thing that the NFL's got a problem

159
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 2: at right now? If I was going to have you list,

160
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 2: you know, things that they can get better at, would

161
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 2: be the one thing you'd want to.

162
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 4: Work on if you were the NFL.

163
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 3: The NFL, Yeah, I mean, I don't know, dude. I

164
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 3: thought it was a pretty damn good weekend for the NFA.

165
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 4: They have a officiating.

166
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, yes, absolutely, Not.

167
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 2: Only just in the games over the weekend, I'm talking

168
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 2: through the course of the year. I'm talking through the

169
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: course of the years. They are just horrid. And I've

170
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: been saying this for a long time, for as long

171
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: as we've been doing the show, Chris, They're just horrible

172
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 2: at their job. I'm gonna repeat that, not every one

173
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 2: of them, but you know, in general, they are horrible

174
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: at their job. I've never received one of them, but

175
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: for the most part, Chris there, they're just damn right bad.

176
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: And look, I had no skin in the had no

177
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: fight here. I didn't care who won. But if I'm

178
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 2: a Bills fan today, I'm living. I'm living the way

179
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: the whole thing went down on that catch, the way

180
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 2: they rested the ball from him when he was already down,

181
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: the way they did non chalantly reviewed it.

182
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 4: I didn't even I didn't even know they reviewed it.

183
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 4: They're like, just let's go, let's pick it up.

184
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: They got a problem these officials. Do you know anybody

185
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: that strives to be an official? Usually when people can't

186
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 2: get into sports like you and I, they want to

187
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 2: be on the radio, they want to be on TV.

188
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: They want to be a play by play person, you

189
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: know something like that, or or you know, be involved

190
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: with a team, be a coach. I don't know anybody

191
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 2: that says I want to be an official, And that's

192
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 2: the problem out there. We've got guys that, you know,

193
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 2: maybe just don't understand the game.

194
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 4: They're not athletic.

195
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is, but Chris, again, they

196
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: are horrible at their job. I mean, if this was

197
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 2: a company, I'd be firing like seventy five percent of them.

198
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 4: I seriously, if I said, oh, you did a good

199
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 4: job this year.

200
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 2: You got seventy five percent of your work done and

201
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: you did pretty good work.

202
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 4: Any company would say you're out of here.

203
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 2: Could you imagine if I if my boss at Fox

204
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 2: Sports said, hey, you showed up seventy five percent of

205
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 2: the time, you did the work right seventy five percent.

206
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 2: You only make twenty five percent mistakes. So I think

207
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 2: that's pretty good. And they try to say that.

208
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 5: The officials you make a lot more than twenty five

209
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 5: percent mistake. Yeh wow. Yeah.

210
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: But so you're you're sitting here arguing about people making

211
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: mistakes when you know you and I are the most

212
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 3: mistake prone guys in the business.

213
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 5: But but go ahead, keep.

214
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: There's there's not consequences on our mistakes.

215
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 4: And of course we're not.

216
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 3: Going to be a bull game. You tell people that

217
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 3: it's no longer for entertainment purposes only. But I mean, honestly,

218
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 3: you want to be Chris, just about your big Chris.

219
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 3: So there are complications.

220
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 2: Is that my job is to be one hundred percent

221
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 2: right when you're a referee, when you're an official, there's.

222
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 5: No Eah, you know what.

223
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 4: I think that's good enough, that's close enough.

224
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 5: Hold on, we get it. What are you specifically upset about?

225
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 4: Really? The Bills thing?

226
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 3: Okay, because I was like, there was four penalty penalties

227
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 3: called in the Rams Bears game and there was one

228
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 3: completion to devontaeity.

229
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 5: People were freaking out about it.

230
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 4: Right, I know.

231
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 2: And you know what's so funny is you couldn't even hell,

232
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 2: which would have because there's so many Chris, there's so

233
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 2: many questionable calls that people are losing their marbles over that.

234
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 3: That's their marbles over one. And then I hear everyone

235
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 3: kind of losing their mind over well in the third quarter,

236
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 3: and with two they missed a pass interfering here, it's

237
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 3: like you the game changing ones everyone freaks out about, right,

238
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 3: and then they've got to find one play from the

239
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 3: middle of the game that they get, Hey, well look

240
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 3: what this happened too. So I feel like a lot

241
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 3: of this is just really one plays freaking out about.

242
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 4: If we wanted to.

243
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: Go through mistakes they made in the first second and

244
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 2: the third cour which we don't really pay attention to. Chris,

245
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: then it's gonna then we're really gonna have to break

246
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 2: out the note pad, the yellow legal pad, and start

247
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 2: writing it all down because we're just talking about the Well.

248
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 5: Do you want holding called on every play?

249
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 4: It's not what I want, Chris. I want. I want

250
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 4: you to do the rules.

251
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 5: If the if the rules be called on every single play, well.

252
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: Then there's a problem with the rules. Then, Chris, there's

253
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: a problem with the rules. No, I don't want every

254
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: holding on every play. No, I don't want that. But

255
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 2: I don't want to leave it up to the discretion

256
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 2: of a referee. You know, I don't want him to say, yeah,

257
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 2: I'm in a bad mood today, you better not be

258
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 2: touching him, or I'm gonna be calling holding on every playing.

259
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 4: I can't have something like that.

260
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: And seriously, you know you call two pass interferences in overtime?

261
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 4: I mean, are you crazy? Could let me ask you this.

262
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: Do you think that the NFL we're happy about those

263
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,719
Speaker 2: two pass interference? Do you think the NFL said if

264
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 2: the same thing happened in the Super Bowl, you should

265
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 2: call it again. And that's the way the super Bowl

266
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 2: should end.

267
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 4: They lose their mind if something like that happened in

268
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl. You can't do that.

269
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 3: Chris, did you not think that the past interference on

270
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 3: Marvin Mims wasn't past interference?

271
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 2: I think you could just call it either way. They

272
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 2: were letting, you know, joust for the whole night.

273
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 4: Chris. I think it could have been a no call

274
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 4: and you could have moved on from that.

275
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 5: I thought he mugged him.

276
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 2: I mean, oh, there was a lot of mugging going on,

277
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 2: but there's a lot of you're all of the Bills

278
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 2: Broncos game last night.

279
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean the pass was perfect and the

280
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 3: guy grabbed them. I mean it was textbook pass interference.

281
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 2: Let me ask you. You you're on the field during the

282
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 2: Oklahoma game. Certainly you meet officials, right You talk to

283
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: officials that fly in, and what are they like fifty

284
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: eight years old, been sitting behind the.

285
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 4: Desk all week long, a lawyer, you.

286
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 2: Know, or something like that, and is the only exercise

287
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: they get for crying out loud?

288
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 4: Come on, now, let's go.

289
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 3: I'm I hate to break this to you, but ninety

290
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 3: of the officials are in damn good shape.

291
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: Oh I mean, okay, yeah, especially the old guys that

292
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 2: could barely get up and down the field.

293
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 3: Well, I think those are starting to kind of be

294
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 3: phased out a bit. I mean, I think you're looking

295
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 3: at things a little antiquated there. I say that as

296
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 3: I watched this official from the Patriots Texans game trying

297
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 3: to back up on a play. But I think you're

298
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 3: really I think you're painting a broad brudsh that's a

299
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 3: little bit unfair. Not every official is some fat, out

300
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 3: of shape guy out there running around trying to make calls.

301
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 5: Arnie.

302
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 2: No, but wasn't it if you took a vote right

303
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: now and said, do you think the officials are doing

304
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: a good job? Give me a grade on the officials.

305
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 2: They'd probably be in the sea range, you know when

306
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 2: it's all and that's people don't think the officials are.

307
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 4: Doing a good job. Let's say that.

308
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, let me ask you this. How do you

309
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 5: fix it?

310
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 3: I think you have replaying, You've got play, You've got

311
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 3: uh every so you got replaying. Everyone gritch and moan

312
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 3: about it takes too long. You got expected to replay,

313
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 3: and then people get mad because they didn't tang long enough.

314
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 3: You want more experienced drafts. Now you're making fun of him,

315
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 3: calling them all old and fat. So just help me

316
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 3: better understand how you fix this. If you're Roger Goodell.

317
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 2: I think you go out and recruit players, or excuse me,

318
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 2: recruit people to become an official. I think you know,

319
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 2: when a lot of these guys don't end up becoming players,

320
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 2: they're looking to get in and be still involved with

321
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 2: the sports.

322
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 4: I know a lot of them want to go to.

323
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: Coaching, but officiating is a good way to also do this.

324
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: There's a lot of former players that go on to officiate,

325
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 2: and I think you've got a recruit a lot of

326
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 2: younger players, people that have played the game, that know

327
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 2: the rules, that have a feel forward, you know, not

328
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 2: just guys like hey can I get next to paycheck?

329
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: First class? I'm bed, let's go, so come on.

330
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 3: So, your big takeaway from the weekend was not the

331
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 3: amazing game between the Broncos and the and the Bills.

332
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 4: It was I loved it until.

333
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 5: I'm just settle down. I'm not arguing.

334
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 3: I'm just asking not the wild finish we had between

335
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 3: the Rams and the Bears, or even I guess it

336
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 3: was just the aesthetics of the Patriots and the Texans, right,

337
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 3: and the snow that was cinematic throughout the whole game.

338
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 5: You had to blow out with the Seahawks and the Niners.

339
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 3: But like, do you think the big takeaway from this

340
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 3: weekend is that the NFL has an officiating problem?

341
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely, that'd be the first thing I'd put out there.

342
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 2: Number One, You've got a major I don't know. Let's

343
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 2: see what the people in Buffalo have to say. Do

344
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 2: you think they feel like there's an officiator? Oh, let's

345
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 2: see what the people in Denver have to say. I mean, dude,

346
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 2: there's two sides of every single coin.

347
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 3: And I will say, and I will say, it's wild

348
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 3: to think about how much this show impacts like my

349
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 3: day to day life.

350
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 5: Because as soon as.

351
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 3: The Bill's lost last night, Yeah, I the first person

352
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 3: I thought of was our man Paul, who has been

353
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 3: as consistent of a contributor to this program as we've

354
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 3: had in gosh, what like the last seven eight years. Yeah,

355
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 3: And immediately I'm thinking about him and the Bills fans

356
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 3: whom watch.

357
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 5: I mean, he's not gonna William VP this year, but

358
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 5: an MVP winner.

359
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 3: And Josh Allen, a guy who has done everything, But

360
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 3: you know, get to the Super Bowl. Miss a wide

361
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 3: open tight end that would have left any of these

362
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 3: conversations like like moot right and that terrible turnover at

363
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 3: the end of the first half. I mean, I'm still

364
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 3: trying to figure it out.

365
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 2: Well, I have no idea, but I knew that was

366
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: happening the way he was holding the.

367
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 4: I go, you better tuck that go. We'd not to

368
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 4: think a pitch of that ball is he I don't

369
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 4: even know what he was thinking, to be honest.

370
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 3: Kind of shows you how much of an impact that

371
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 3: had last night. But I know, I know you guys

401
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,959
Speaker 3: you doing with your equipment not working?

402
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 5: I want to know how many calls were made?

403
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 4: That was a lot of call. I called you and

404
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 4: you couldn't help me.

405
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 5: I will.

406
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 3: The way the equipment Arn't he uses is different than mine,

407
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 3: and I've never used what he uses.

408
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 2: I called our producer Lee. He couldn't help me. I

409
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 2: called Mary Mary. I called our engineer.

410
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 5: Mary's used to helping old people.

411
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: And then I even texted the boss of the company.

412
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 4: Well came up.

413
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 3: I don't think he's asleep. I think he's grinding away.

414
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 3: It's only eight thirty on the West Care.

415
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 2: But it's a suddenly night. You never want to call

416
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 2: the boss on the Sunday night.

417
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 5: Especially whenever you're calling to say, hey, I can't figure

418
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 5: this out.

419
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 2: YEA, well way to you, though, I blame you, you

420
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 2: blame me. I said, I don't know what Plank did.

421
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 2: He shortened something on my computer.

422
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 3: I don't know what he did the computer I've never

423
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 3: seen in my life, my phone. I'll how about this

424
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 3: from Paul. Paul's got a series of tweets or ee

425
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 3: throughout the night, but he writes, here is my feeling.

426
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 5: I don't blame the refs.

427
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 3: The Music City Miracle was on the kickoff team not

428
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 3: staying in their lanes, whether it was a lateral or not.

429
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 3: With yesterday, if m he's given you context here, just

430
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 3: settle down. Same with yesterday. If McDermott doesn't screw up

431
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 3: at the end of the first half and gift Denver

432
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 3: three points. Those calls wouldn't matter what.

433
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 2: I McDermott's the one that fumbled. I'm sorry, my bad man.

434
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 2: He made the call to run the play. I guess

435
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 2: this guy he didn't. He didn't tell Josh how to

436
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 2: do that, so come on now, stop it.

437
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 3: He could have told him to take an me could

438
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 3: have done that. Yeah, that's one thing that they could

439
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 3: have done. NFL ref Stats, which, by the way, this

440
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 3: is a really good Twitter feed to follow at NFL

441
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 3: ref Stats one. I don't know who runs it, but

442
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 3: they're very good and they always have good perspective. Now

443
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 3: you're not gonna like it because sometimes they'll actually have

444
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 3: common sense takes right, So.

445
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 4: That's maybe it is.

446
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 3: The NFL doesn't have an officiating problem, Arnie, in the

447
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 3: sense it's impacting their bottom line. The league's ratings and

448
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 3: revenues are higher than ever. The other option is calling

449
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 3: holding on every other play and get fifty penalties a game.

450
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 3: Either way, you get people complaining on every call. Slash

451
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 3: no call, and sports betting has been a big reason

452
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 3: why it's happening.

453
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,719
Speaker 2: But Chris, I'm not even complaining about holding and not holding.

454
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: I never complained about that. Sure, if you want to,

455
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 2: we could break down every play and see which ones

456
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 2: they miss.

457
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 5: But that's what makes all summer shows really easy.

458
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

459
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 2: But but but it's all about when you have blatant

460
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 2: you know, if it's a catch, it's not a catch,

461
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 2: and and stuff like that, and you just have blatant

462
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 2: mistakes and you don't go through the right protocol, that's

463
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 2: when you start getting upset. That's when you're like, no, no, no,

464
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 2: this this isn't right. How many people you actually think

465
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: did you think that was a catcher? Did you think

466
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 2: that was an interception? Be honest, I thought it was

467
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 2: that pick. I thought he took it from him. I

468
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 2: thought it was an interception.

469
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 4: There's no doubt in my mind that was a catch,

470
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 4: no doubt of mine.

471
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 5: You and Sean mcdermoty Green then yeah.

472
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I have no dog in the fight, Chris,

473
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 2: but you know he's down on the ground, he's got possession.

474
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 4: You can't wrestle the ball away.

475
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 5: You can't do that again.

476
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 3: I think there's one thing Apps, and I don't know

477
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 3: if it was Gene's sterotor who put it out there

478
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 3: or not.

479
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 4: Okay, it probably was. I think I know you were.

480
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 5: The slow motion it.

481
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 3: Whenever you do that, it's like you're watching it in

482
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 3: slow motion or watching it still like look see, I mean,

483
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,719
Speaker 3: it's just I think in real time, dude had it,

484
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 3: had it stripped from him before he maintained possession to

485
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 3: the ground and took it away.

486
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna lie to you.

487
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 3: It's not something where I'm gonna stand on this hill

488
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 3: and say I'm ready for you to put.

489
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 5: A gun to me my head. And this is what

490
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 5: I feel.

491
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 3: I'm not like ready to die on this hill or anything.

492
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 3: But as I sit here tonight, I looked it down

493
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 3: as a pick defenderman a hell of a play.

494
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, he did.

495
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 2: He made it good, he followed through. I'll give him

496
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 2: all the credit of the world. You're one hundred right

497
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 2: on that and you can't get them. You should never

498
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 2: let the ball get wrestled away from you in that

499
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 2: type of situation.

500
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 4: Also, I think Cooks was knocked out was part of ye.

501
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 2: So I agree with you're there and look, you don't

502
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 2: deserve to win the game when you're turning the ball

503
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 2: over what four times? The records like one in eighty

504
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 2: five when you sure have four turnovers in the playoffs.

505
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 4: I understand all that.

506
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 2: It's just that, you know, when you have a good

507
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 2: game going and you ended in an outrageous play like

508
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 2: that and then you have two passive apperances that give

509
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 2: you fifty three yards, Sure, maybe I'll give you one.

510
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 2: I can't give you both. I can't give you. You know,

511
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 2: if you go holding on every play, you call just

512
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 2: about passive appearance on just about every play were they're

513
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 2: grabbing the receiver past the five yards. Maybe it's not

514
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 2: so blatant, but I can't call it probably about eighty

515
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 2: percent of the time, Chris Well.

516
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 3: I mean, if you want to be that guy, like

517
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 3: we said, you could probably call a foul in every

518
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 3: single play in the NFL. I mean, I truly want

519
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 3: to be that guy, and I know you don't want

520
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 3: to be. But I will say it seems odd that

521
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 3: you would say that you don't have a dog in

522
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,239
Speaker 3: this fight when your wife is a Bills fan. I mean,

523
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 3: you obviously do, and she could be putting you up

524
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 3: to tonight Arnie coming on here and saying that that

525
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 3: was not a catch, that was not an interception, that

526
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 3: was a catch. This is there any deal that's being

527
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 3: made with Beth here tonight.

528
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 2: No, No, but was calling me up on the phone

529
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 2: and screaming like a like a drunken sailor. I'm not

530
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,479
Speaker 2: going to deny that she was upset about that, but

531
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 2: you know, it didn't make a difference to me.

532
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 4: All it saves me money and I don't have to

533
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 4: send it to the super Bowl.

534
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 2: But I feel bad for Bill's fans, felt terrible for

535
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 2: Josh Allen having that type of game.

536
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 4: But unfortunately, you know, it comes down to a play

537
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 4: like that, and then.

538
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 2: All people talk about Chris are the back to back

539
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 2: pass interfear and shit.

540
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 4: You can't get that. You can't do that.

541
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 3: All right, Well, let's get you caught up on the

542
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 3: news and notes and headlines from the two games today.

543
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 3: And obviously despite what we saw today, still a lot

544
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 3: of hurt feelers from what took place last night in Denver,

545
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 3: and then of course to fall out afterwards with the

546
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 3: every Buffalo fan yelling bull do't lie when we learned

547
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 3: the bow Nicks was hurt to see see you cheated

548
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 3: and now you lost your quarterback. Here's to saga, it's trending.

549
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 3: Good evening, Steve to sega, what's going on, buddy.

550
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 5: Well, that's logic. I guess you can't. That's right.

551
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 7: We had the Rams advancing in New England as well.

552
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 7: You brought up that incredible essentially hail Mary that Caleb

553
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 7: Williams had to tie the game in regulation. Next Gen

554
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 7: stats has been around for a decade, so they can

555
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 7: actually say how long, how far.

556
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 5: In the air the ball was on that one.

557
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 7: It goes down in the box score it's a fourteen

558
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 7: yard touchdown pass to Cole Comet to tie the game

559
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 7: against the Rams tonight, but he backed up so much

560
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 7: trying to avoid the rush, almost to the midfield logo.

561
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 7: He chucked it fifty one yards in the air to

562
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 7: the tight end in.

563
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 5: The end zone, which I couldn't kick it fifty yards.

564
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 7: Well, their kickers in the league, I'm tempted to say can,

565
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 7: but that would be for a red zone down. The

566
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 7: longest completed pass by air distance in the decade that

567
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 7: they've had next Gen stats, And you're right, the completion

568
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 7: probability on that he was about seventeen percent.

569
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 4: And they wanted to push off.

570
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 2: I wish I can give you an answer, but they

571
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 2: never showed us if he pushed off or not.

572
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 4: It never brod go it.

573
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 7: We just saw the space afterwards in the end zone.

574
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 7: The NFL went one more on what we just talked

575
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 7: with that heat did the end zone for Chicago because

576
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 7: they said in the next Gen era, this past decade

577
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 7: in the NFL, there have been over eight thousand touchdown passes.

578
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 7: This one from Caleb Williams tonight. He threw from twenty

579
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 7: six yards behind the line of scrimmage. There hadn't been

580
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 7: a single pass completed from that deep, much less for

581
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 7: a touchdown in the entire last decade of every gang

582
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 7: total in.

583
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 5: The National Football League.

584
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,959
Speaker 7: For the Bears to be the team to have seven

585
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 7: comeback wins when they were trailing with the last two

586
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 7: minutes of the fourth quarter on the clock and then

587
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 7: do that to send it to overtime, didn't you think, oh,

588
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 7: my goodness, it's actually going to happen again. And no,

589
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 7: the Rams, Los Angeles in the snow beat Chicago in

590
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 7: overtime twenty to seventeen.

591
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 4: It was so quiet. I mean, yeah, it's like three

592
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 4: hours after the game. It was like sh every was

593
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 4: like just hush. It was horrible.

594
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 7: And I think we can all agree on that generally

595
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 7: that so many people are on the air talking about

596
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 7: sports for so many hours, there tend to be a

597
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 7: lot of idiotic things said. I think that's a fair stage, really,

598
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 7: because not a lot of thinking goes into some of

599
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 7: the sentences, one of which was, well, the LA team's

600
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 7: not going to do well in the cold weather. Okay, people,

601
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 7: do you what supports that?

602
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 5: Okay?

603
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 7: The quarterback for Chicago had played more time in Los

604
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 7: Angeles than he had in Chicago. And the running back

605
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 7: for the Rams is from Notre Dame and had two

606
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 7: touchdowns tonight, And which team played the Eagles by far

607
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 7: the best in the playoffs a year ago?

608
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 5: It was the Rams in the snow at Philadelphia.

609
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 7: So you people, anyway, we've had people back to back

610
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 7: days with overtime playoff games. First time we've had two

611
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 7: overtime games in any postseason since the Chiefs four years ago,

612
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 7: when they themselves had back to back weekends with overtime games.

613
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 7: But Associated Press points out that with yesterday and Denver

614
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 7: and tonight in Chicago, those postseason overtimes ended on the

615
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 7: third total possession of ot with a field goal by

616
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 7: the team that lost the coin to US.

617
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 5: So the Rams advance.

618
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 7: They'll be in the NFC title game next Sunday at

619
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 7: Seattle on Fox TV, the later game six thirty Eastern

620
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 7: and if you remember the Rams game that Thursday night

621
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 7: or late season at Seattle and absolute classic. Give us

622
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 7: anything close to that and we'll be happy. Matthew Stafford

623
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 7: when he faces in the playoffs former number one overall

624
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 7: picks like himself, He's now four and one in his

625
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 7: postseason career against them, including beating Caleb Williams tonight. Williams

626
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 7: had two touchdown passes but three interceptions as well one

627
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 7: in ot. In fact, Matthew Stafford's playoff record Divisional round

628
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 7: or later is four and one.

629
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 2: There was a rumor that he went into the stands

630
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 2: and he was crying, Oh no, that was a different game.

631
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 5: A different game, different.

632
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 4: Oh it was a joke, people, it's a joke. It's

633
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 4: a joke. Don't take it serious. It's a let's go.

634
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,199
Speaker 7: And just confirming Matthew Stafford's greatness of his career.

635
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 5: And I mean that word.

636
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 7: There are some people with an agenda that might say, oh,

637
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 7: it's just empty yardage, and I don't know about the

638
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 7: Hall of Fame and all of this what how many

639
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 7: game winning drives does this guy have? The answer is

640
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 7: fifty five in the fourth quarter or overtime, including tonight.

641
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,080

642
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 7: he entered the league in two thousand and nine. Amazing

643
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 7: stat that I mentioned on the prior show. Here Sean

644
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,200

646
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 7: It's been against fifteen different opponents. What I didn't know

647
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 7: that was even mathematically possible, but literally that's the extended

648
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 7: that it could be because there are what fifteen other

649
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 7: teams in his conference, and he faced New England at

650

668
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 5: He was a good game. You were the one who

669
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 5: didn't think that was going to be a good game.

670
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 5: The saga's right, by the way, Yeah, about what the playoffs.

671
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 3: The first year that Sean McVay was head coach of

672
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 3: the Ram was seventeen. Now first trip he made the

673
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 3: playoffs as their head coach, all right, By the way,

674
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 3: the Rams had admitted the playoffs for thirteen years from

675
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 3: two thousand and four to twenty seventeen.

676
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 5: That's wow.

677
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 7: Even more amazing when they finally let Jeff Fisher go

678
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 7: and hired McVeigh after that first year in LA, they

679
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 7: literally went from the worst offense to the best offense

680
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 7: pastcar one year.

681
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,280

Speaker 3: Fifteen playoff games, fifteen different teams.

688
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 5: And now at Seattle. Oh my gosh, that's crazy.

689
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 3: Well that'll be the first one they've played twice twenty

690
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 3: twenty playoffs.

691
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 7: They went there to Seattle, that's right, and that was

692
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 7: with no fans because that was the COVID year.

693
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 5: So see it's even still special.

694
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, go oh yeah, that got brought up because Seattle

695
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 7: won in front of those loud fans yesterday with fans

696
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 7: in attendance. The Seahawks have won their last eleven playoff.

697
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 3: Games in a row of there, so was that their

698
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 3: last loss then, yes, rams with no fans.

699
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 5: That's crazy. Good stuff to sagre.

700
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 3: Steve will be back in about twenty minutes or so,

701
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 3: and he's got the we're still trying to find the

702
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 3: name after eleven years. That a segment coming up in

703
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 3: about an hour from now. All right, good stuff on Twitter.

704
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 3: But let's real quick, let's start, let's start paying off

705
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 3: some of the teasers off this Roman numeral rundown. Yeah,

706
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 3: anything really to take Obviously, Caleb Williams, that throw you

707
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 3: heard the Sager bring it up was amazing.

708
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 5: We've got fall numbers from it.

709
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 3: I still never saw if Camet pushed off, but I

710
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 3: think this was along the lines of the numbers the

711
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 3: next gen stats twenty six and a half yards behind

712
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage. No quarterback since twenty sixteen had

713
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 3: it completed a pass from a depth of more than

714
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 3: twenty two yards. He kept backtracking and backtracking. I'm like, oh,

715
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 3: my gosh, what's he doing. I'm like, oh, he knows

716
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 3: exactly what he's doing. But you know, Big Johnson talks

717
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 3: a lot of gas, aren't he. I Mean, the dude

718
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 3: talks a lot of trash. But it seems like for

719
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 3: two teams that got eliminated this week, and I think

720
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 3: the future is really bright.

721
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

722
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 3: One of those is obviously the Bears. I think the

723
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 3: other ones the Texans. But I think you're starting to

724
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 3: sell me a little bit on CJ.

725
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 5: Stroud.

726
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 3: We had two legend, big time quarterbacks, really struggling their

727
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 3: big moments this weekend in obviously brock Purty and everyone's

728
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 3: beat up around him, so that's tough.

729
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 5: And then c J Stroud today.

730
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 2: C J Stroud very disappointing. I mean it was like

731
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 2: every time he was touching the ball, he was fumbling.

732
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 2: I know Drake may made some major gafs also, it

733
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 2: was it was just a turnover fest.

734
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 4: I know that was bad weather, but I didn't expect that.

735
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 2: Many turnovers, to be honest with you, especially with Drake Babers.

736
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 2: They were just slapping the ball out of his hand

737
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 2: when he was going back to the past.

738
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 4: But just a horrible game for CJ.

739
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 2: Stroud, noah fans or buds about it, and I certainly

740
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 2: wish he had a chance to go ahead and do

741
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 2: that one again. He's gonna feel that one for a while.

742
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 2: I didn't want to ask you this though. I put

743
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 2: in Roman numeral number sixteen. When a team looses a

744
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 2: tough one, like like the Bills, os who's a tough

745
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:11,239
Speaker 2: ro on something like Josh Allen, the players, the fans, or

746
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 2: like the city in general, the city of Buffalo.

747
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 4: Do you think it's tough for on?

748
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,479
Speaker 5: Oh, that's that's a good question.

749
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 3: Like the part of me wants to say the fans

750
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 3: just because there's been so much heartache and heartbreak, and

751
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 3: if it's not the player's last game, then they have

752
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 3: an opportunity to go back to work, take a little

753
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 3: time to get away, you know, get a little vacation

754
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 3: and recharge the batteries and go back to work. But

755
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, the way that Josh Allen seemed

756
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 3: after that game and McDermott even picking up the phone.

757
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 5: And call on a beat right from the price right right,

758
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 5: you know.

759
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 4: It hurts the city though, it really does.

760
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 2: I know that, But I mean just the I mean

761
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 2: when when when it happens, Like when I was living

762
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 2: in Buffalo, people like, oh, you live in Buffalo, and

763
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 2: immediately they go you know, it's like the City of

764
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 2: Losers and the Bills, the four time Losers.

765
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 4: It used to be like, what if you said you

766
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 4: were from Cleveland. It just gives the.

767
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 2: City, gives the city a bad name, gives the city

768
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 2: a bad knock.

769
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 4: I don't know why, but it just does.

770
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 2: That's what people think about when you say you're from

771
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 2: Buffalo or Cleveland or something like that.

772
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 5: Well, I think that's a fair question.

773
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 3: I guess if markets are different too, Like nobody seems

774
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 3: to care in New York.

775
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 2: You know, it's like the Jets, but they well, but

776
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 2: they do exactly. They say, just giants, you know, major

777
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 2: market and New York has no football and blah blah

778
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 2: blah and stuff like that. But well, I would say

779
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,720
Speaker 2: it's probably a little bit harder on the fans unless

780
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 2: it again, unless it's a final game and it's I

781
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 2: think the fans in the city are one and the same.

782
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 4: Though, Yeah, you're kind of right about that.

783
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 3: But the Rams beat the Bears today, and I'll tell

784
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 3: you what, I feel somewhat good because the Rams were

785
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 3: my preseason pick to make the Super Bowl. But after

786
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 3: watching Seattle on Saturday night and being a fan of

787
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 3: Mike McDonald and what he's done defensively, and you know,

788
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 3: there's just this incredible mix of guys that like weren't

789
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 3: like has beens and never were gonna bes and then

790
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 3: stars and their defense reminds me a lot of like

791
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 3: the old Raiders offenses, where it's.

792
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 5: Like, hey, that guy, whn't he around?

793
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 3: Before you know, Leonard Williams is out there making plays

794
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 3: and he got a couple of young guys that are

795
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 3: doing things for him.

796
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,320
Speaker 5: I don't know, I just I think I'm kind of

797
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 5: falling for Seattle. Damn. I think they might win the

798
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 5: Super Bowls.

799
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a little scary, how about that? You

800
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 2: know what I really love about is Sam Darnold. You know,

801
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 2: talk about a guy that got his revenge. He was like,

802
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 2: oh what a bust he is, and with the Jets

803
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 2: and talk about saving a career. That's why I always

804
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 2: wonder these guys that end up with the Jets or

805
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 2: some bad team, you know how good they could really

806
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 2: be if they were on another team.

807
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 4: And then like a Patrick Mahomes, is.

808
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 2: He really that great with Patrick Mahomes gone fifteen to

809
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 2: two if he.

810
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 4: Was on the New York Jets l though.

811
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 2: So you know, you just have to be drafted by

812
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 2: the right te right place of the right tide, and you.

813
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,439
Speaker 3: Know, find someone that gets you in that right fit.

814
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 3: I mean it wasn't just the Jets. Darnold also went

815
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 3: to the Panthers and kind of had a disaster there

816
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 3: but had a chance to kind of reboot the system

817
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 3: with the court. You always make fun of the quarterback whisper,

818
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 3: but the year he had in San Francisco might have

819
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 3: been the most transformative year, goes to Minnesota, tears it up,

820
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 3: and now he might be on his way to the

821
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 3: super Bowl.

822
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 2: By the way, I think you kind of owe me

823
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 2: an apology because the one thing I've been screaming at

824
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 2: you about is gonna come true next week. You need

825
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 2: a pretty good backup, don't how about that?

826
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 4: Big boy?

827
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 5: Never okay this.

828
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 3: No one has ever misconstrued an argument and tried to

829
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 3: move the goalpost more than you on this. You think

830
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 3: that there's gonna be load management in the NFL and

831
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 3: that I'm like, yeah, No, there's not gonna be load

832
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,240
Speaker 3: management in the NFL the quarterback position, and then somehow

833
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 3: that's become Oh so, I guess you don't need a

834
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 3: backup quarterback. No, every team needs a good backup quarterback.

835
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 3: And we'll talk about why it's important in the AFC

836
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 3: next with Arnine Plank right here on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 5: Okay.

857
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 3: The very first tweet that we got hits on a

858
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 3: very interesting topic because the chemistry professor seems to be

859
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 3: a candidate for every single job that's out there right now.

860

864
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,120

865
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 2: head coach of Las Vegas Raiders.

866
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 4: He interviewed and I was just laughing. Oh, poor Chris.

867
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 5: Blank, its start up about it?

868
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 4: Oh you were not fired up about him?

869
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 5: What did I say? What did I say?

870
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 3: I'm like, finally he'll get some pieces around him that

871
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 3: know what they're doing. Yeah, that's that quarter back in

872
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 3: the league who's coming in after winning a championship.

873
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 5: Don't.

874
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's a good coach. You're the one

875
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 3: that can't stand him.

876
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 2: Well, I mean when we were starting one and six,

877
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 2: what part of you thought that was a great coach?

878
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 5: Oh, what's happening again?

879
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 3: When Arnie has a take that everyone disagrees with, it started,

880
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 3: Quinton starts cutting out on him.

881
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 2: You just dropped for like a millisecond. What were you

882
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 2: saying when they was one and six? What part of

883
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 2: it did you think he was a great coach? Then?

884
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 4: I didn't hear that part.

885
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 5: I didn't think it was his fault.

886
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 4: Well, not all his fault, that's for sure.

887
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 5: You were the one.

888
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 3: You were the one, by the way that was that

889
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 3: was saying, well, you were standing behind him.

890
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 2: Look, I don't think he's awful or anything like that.

891
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 2: I do think he's a better coordinator, but who knows.

892
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 2: Maybe do you think he'll get ahead coaching job or

893
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 2: do you think he'll end up as a coordinator.

894
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 3: This cycle has me so screwed up. I don't know

895
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 3: who's going to get what job. The first two hires

896
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 3: right are retreads. And that's not a knock on John

897
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 3: Harball or Kevin Stefanski, But it's two guys, aren't he

898
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 3: that just got fired? Stefanski got fired in Cleveland and

899
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 3: Harbaugh got fired in Baltimore.

900
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 4: I was crying about Harbob. I'm so disappointed.

901
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 3: Well, you had guaranteed him to Miami last week, and

902
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:52,959
Speaker 3: we tried to tell you, but you just you don't

903
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 3: listen to us.

904
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 4: So it's I don't Yeah, but I would say.

905
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,919
Speaker 3: I'm a firm believer that he's going to get another job,

906
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 3: a head coaches job, and I think it'll be somewhere

907
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 3: like Arizona that that you know, a few guys get

908
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 3: hired out from underneath him. You know what, Brady's really, really,

909
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 3: really involved with the Raiders a lot more than I

910
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 3: thought he was going to be in this search.

911
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 5: And I haven't counted out Brian Flores.

912
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there's a chance Flores is the next

913
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 3: head coach at Pittsburgh. But Salah is also a retread.

914
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 3: You know, he's a guy that's had a job before.

915
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 3: But everyone kind of looks at.

916
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 5: It like they Yeah, I like it too. I think

917
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 5: it's gonna do good. Round two. All right, listen, that's

918
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 5: a quick hour one.

919
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 3: We're just getting started in the NFC and AFC Championship

920

Speaker 3: game previews. Todd Furman is coming up next hour, and

Speaker 3: Arnie's picks right around the corner, So keep the tweets coming.

00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 3: with Arnie Plank on Fox Sports Radio.

00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:38,800
Speaker 5: Okay.

942
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 2: I insulted, like, there Michael Jordan out there, some famous star.

943
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 4: He's a cricket player. I don't even know his name.

944
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 2: Now, well hey, he's like yah, yeah, he's like, we

945
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 2: have a big star studio and they gave me his name.

946
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 4: I go, oh, let your name again.

947
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 2: He's like, he's a big cricket star out here. I go, oh, yeah,

948
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 2: score a touchdown?

949
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 3: Why would they Why would they even well, you know what,

950
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 3: they probably just assumed that you would know that, because

951
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 3: I would assume that if we went on there, everyone

952
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 3: would know who all our star football players are. So

953
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 3: I mean, why would they even assume you would know that?

954
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:19,280
Speaker 2: Oh well, he's like the Michael Jordan of cricket or something.

955
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 5: I guess. Okay, but you don't remember his name?

956
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 4: Hold on, I'm not sure.

957
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:27,760
Speaker 2: I'm not, but I but I think he got insulted

958
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 2: on like, hey, how many touchdowns and home runs do

959
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 2: you have?

960
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 6: There?

961
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 3: Is the Michael Jordan of cricket? Is actually someone called

962
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 3: shit shin kindoker?

963
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:43,240
Speaker 4: Does that sound right, No, no, no, well some other.

964
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 5: Guy, well that's it, wasn't him.

965
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 4: Do you know anything about cricket?

966
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 5: Do you know that? Not a thing?

967
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, to say, I was in a bad situation there, so.

968
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,800
Speaker 5: We were you know, I don't even have a story

969
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 5: for it.

970
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, we're watching the Lions, the Witch

971
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 3: and the Wardrobe, and they were playing it for a

972
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 3: little bit, but like that, literally, I have no story.

973
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 4: They love American football. There's all that.

974
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 2: Everybody has their favorite team out there, weird teams, but

975
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 2: they love American football.

976
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:08,720
Speaker 5: Yeah.

977
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 3: And the NFC Championship game is the Rams at Seattle,

978
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 3: and the AFC Championship Game is the Patriots at the Broncos.

979
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 3: So we got a lot to preview Todd Ferman's coming

980
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 3: up in fifteen minutes. I will admit some some stupidity

981
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 3: and not realizing this. Do you know who has the

982
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 3: longest NFC drought for being in the championship game?

983
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:32,800
Speaker 2: The longest NFC drought for not being in the NFC

984
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 2: Championship game.

985
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 3: That's right, the Bears, the cowenty ten. It's Dallas Cowboys.

986
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 3: The last time the Dallas Cowboys were in the NFC

987
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 3: Championship game nineteen ninety five. Wow, now some of you

988
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,760
Speaker 3: might be yelling, what about the Panthers. Jake Deelowe twenty

989
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,240
Speaker 3: fifteen made a run. Giants made around in twenty eleven,

990
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 3: Hell won the Super Bowl. Since then, so Washington, what

991
00:43:56,280 --> 00:44:00,399
Speaker 3: the Commanders people forget? They played the Eagles the NFC

992
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 3: Championship Game in twenty twenty four. That was last year whatever.

993
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 3: Everyone was over the moon talking about Jade Daniels should

994
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 3: have been picked over Caleb.

995
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 2: Williams, and now a year later it's like, who would

996
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 2: what Daniels? Caleb Williams is the man a year later,

997
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 2: So just kind of crazy to think about it. Since

998
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety five.

999
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 4: Even in Arizona, like you said, went to a Super Bowl?

1000
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 5: Well, I mean Arizona, what was that? Twenty fifteen?

1001
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, they played the Carolina Panthers in the right Well

1002
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 3: they played they I was saying. They played Carolina in

1003
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 3: the NFC Championship Game and then they played Pittsburgh in

1004
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. Early numbers, what have you seen out there?

1005
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 3: Numbers wise on the spreads, that's a ignorance got a claim.

1006
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 2: New England opened up as a four and a half

1007
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 2: point favorite, and right before.

1008
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 4: We went on the show.

1009
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 2: I checked it again and it went up to five

1010
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 2: and a half, so immediately all the money came in.

1011
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 4: It is still currently at five and a half.

1012
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 2: The Patriots are the favorite and forty and a half

1013
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 2: is the over unders. So not a lot of love

1014
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 2: out there for Jared' Stidham, no doubt about that.

1015
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 3: Here's what FanDuel has for the Seahawks Rams two and

1016
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:15,800
Speaker 3: a half in favor of Seattle.

1017
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 5: Does that surprise you at all?

1018
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 2: That's what I see, two and a half over forty

1019
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 2: seven and a half. Yep, I'm surprised it's actually that low.

1020
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 2: I thought maybe Seattle would be like about a five

1021
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 2: point favorite. You get what three for home and especially

1022
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 2: if the leg yeah, you can get four for home.

1023
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 2: So there's four points right there. If you consider them equals,

1024
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 2: it should be at least a four point spread. But

1025
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 2: I think Seattle's a point or two better. You can

1026
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 2: really make a case for it.

1027
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:45,879
Speaker 4: It should have been.

1028
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 2: A five or six point spread. But you know, Vegas

1029
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 2: makes these lines, so you get equal money on both teams.

1030
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 2: If you would have put it that much, I think

1031
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:55,240
Speaker 2: a lot of people would have run to the window

1032
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 2: to bet the Rams.

1033
00:45:56,239 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 3: Rams and Seahawks split their season series. Points in the

1034
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 3: two games for the Rams fifty seven for the Seahawks,

1035
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 3: including that Rams Thursday Night Special Team's meltdown. Total yards

1036
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 3: in those two games Rams eight hundred and thirty yards Seahawks.

1037
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:12,439
Speaker 5: Eight twenty nine.

1038
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 3: Wow Field Yates, thanks for doing the research on that

1039
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 3: one on Twitter, and I like this. I saw this

1040
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 3: on the FanDuel Sports Twitter feed. This is quite the

1041
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 3: story of the final four quarterbacks, right. You got Sam Darnold,

1042
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 3: one of the great comeback stories that we've had in

1043
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 3: the league. Kind of similar to like a Rich Gannon.

1044
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 3: Not the amount of time in the league that Gannon had,

1045
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 3: but still incredible. Gandon also won a Super Bowl. Are

1046
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,800
Speaker 3: using an MVP, did not win the Super Bowl? Darnald

1047
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 3: trying to do that. Matt Stafford looking for his second

1048
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 3: and could he walk away? Could it be Sayonara? You know,

1049
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 3: I think you've tried to retire him about five years

1050
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 3: in a row now. Also, I think he's in the

1051
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame FanDuel said, Matt Stafford stamps his Hall

1052
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 3: of Fame ballot.

1053
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 5: I feel like he's already in.

1054
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:02,240
Speaker 3: But if you need that, Drake may completes the Patriot

1055
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 3: rebuilt with a trip to the Super.

1056
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:07,320
Speaker 4: Bowl and winning it, right, that's unbelievable, quick turnaround.

1057
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 3: And then there's Jared Stidham, who has the least amount

1058
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 3: of starts for anyone ever to make a start in

1059
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 3: a championship.

1060
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:18,479
Speaker 2: Who is the backup to him if something should happen

1061
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 2: to him, or maybe it's just not getting the job

1062
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 2: done and you want to make a.

1063
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 3: Move, Well they I think my personal favorite thing that

1064
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,839
Speaker 3: I saw today was the U the pictures that had

1065
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 3: Philip Rivers photo shots.

1066
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,839
Speaker 2: Sam Mellinger is on their roster, the old Sexterick.

1067
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:38,399
Speaker 3: Wow, he's been their emergency third string guy all year long.

1068
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 3: And then they just they just signed somebody and I'm

1069
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 3: I'm de Seger probably knows it before the no, no, no,

1070
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 3: they just signed somebody today. Oh okay, I like Donardo

1071
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 3: or the guy Janucci.

1072
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 5: Thank you?

1073
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, they just signed Nucci today. So I mean, you're

1074
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 3: gonna ride or die with Jared Stidham. You know, John Elway,

1075
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 3: he's now walking through that door to save you. I

1076
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 3: got a few snaps, send me, Sean Payton. I love

1077
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 3: when people theorize that Drew Brees can just throw on

1078
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 3: a helmet and go out there and play and be fine.

1079
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 3: It's like, why don't they sign Drew Brees because he

1080
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 3: hasn't played football in like six years. I mean, that

1081
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 3: might be a little bit of an issue out there

1082
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:21,319
Speaker 3: for him. But hey, I gotta give Den for some

1083
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 3: credit though. I mean I've been one of their biggest

1084
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 3: detractors all season long. I keep waiting for the bottom

1085
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 3: to fall out. Kind Of felt the same way with Chicago,

1086
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 3: but they found a way and they've got the AFC

1087
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 3: Championship game at home and with that defense instead Nick

1088
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:38,839
Speaker 3: Benito doing what he's doing, and I know Sirtan got

1089
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,319
Speaker 3: a little bit deemed up on what was that Saturday night,

1090
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,320
Speaker 3: But I mean that's a team that's won eight of

1091
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 3: their nine home games this year, that plays is rocking,

1092
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:48,879
Speaker 3: Marvin Mims is making plays left and right.

1093
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 5: I don't know, I feel like they still got a chance.

1094
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 4: Do you have to put in a whole different game plan, no.

1095
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 5: Game plan? Yeah? Maybe maybe you?

1096
00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 2: Or do you just say, look, he's a professional quarterback.

1097
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 2: He was our second stringer. Maybe he doesn't do everything

1098
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 2: as good as bo Nicks has done, but you know,

1099
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 2: the offense stays the same. We're not changing around a

1100
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 2: whole offense in three days or whatever it is, or

1101
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 2: how many days you have to practice during the week.

1102
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 2: You're just gonna have to do the best you can

1103
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 2: with the system we've have and or do you say,

1104
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 2: we're gonna run the ball ninety percent of the.

1105
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 4: Time, So he didn't have to put it in there.

1106
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 2: That's only gonna last so long until they started stacking

1107
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:27,399
Speaker 2: everybody there in the box.

1108
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 5: There.

1109
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 3: Chris Stidham had one of the most impressive quarterback performances

1110
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 3: that I've seen in one of his starts. He started

1111
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 3: the it was either the final or next to last

1112
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,800
Speaker 3: game of the season when the Raiders had benched Derek

1113
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 3: Carr because they didn't want to They didn't want to risk,

1114
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 3: you know, getting him hurt and having him I guess

1115
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:52,399
Speaker 3: the term would be guaranteeing his contract. So Josh McDaniels

1116
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 3: benched him and then the next thing, you know, it's like, well,

1117
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:57,840
Speaker 3: you know what we got to we gotta go with

1118
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 3: Jared Stidham and he made the starting to forty nine

1119
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 3: ers and he was freaking awesome, dude, he was amazing.

1120
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 3: That was back in I want to say this twenty

1121
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 3: twenty three maybe, and he came on and he here

1122
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 3: were his numbers from that game. He was twenty of

1123
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 3: thirty four for two hundred and seventy two yards. He

1124
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 3: threw a touchdown and it was sacked five times. Things

1125
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 3: in the Raiders offensive line, but they damn near won

1126
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 3: the game against a really, really good San Francisco forty

1127
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 3: nine er teams. So chalk me up as one of

1128
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 3: those guys who believe or not kind of kind of

1129
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 3: believes in Jared Stidham. I think he's got a chance

1130
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 3: to go out and play really well. Not ideal, like,

1131
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:43,799
Speaker 3: don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you want him

1132
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 3: over bow Knicks. And how about the picture that made

1133
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 3: the rounds that Jared Stidham was at Auburn when bow

1134
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 3: Nicks was being recruited. And you want to feel old,

1135
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 3: but I mean he's he's shown the ability to get

1136
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 3: some things done. So I still think Jared Stenham can

1137
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 3: win games for him.

1138
00:50:57,719 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 2: Those statue just gave me is what he needs to

1139
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:01,800
Speaker 2: do that week in and there'll be fans say, twenty

1140
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 2: at thirty four two fifty one touchdown, was there an interest?

1141
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 4: I don't think there was in their.

1142
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:07,919
Speaker 5: That was one pick.

1143
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 3: He started two games and was really really good in

1144
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 3: both of the games that he started for the Raiders.

1145
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 4: He puts up those numbers and they'll be fine. You know,

1146
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 4: he doesn't have to put up three hundred yards. He doesn't.

1147
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 4: He doesn't have to go crazy or anything like.

1148
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 2: Though. He's not gonna throw the ball thirty four time.

1149
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:23,959
Speaker 2: Least I don't think he's gonna throw the ball thirty

1150
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 2: four times.

1151
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 3: So your plan for a Bronco win would be established

1152
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,760
Speaker 3: the ground game, right well, your quarterbacks best friend, and you're.

1153
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 2: Also gonna get the ball out of his hands. You're

1154
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 2: gonna throw those short outs. And then if they start

1155
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:40,240
Speaker 2: playing up and they're you know, daring you to throw deep,

1156
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 2: you gotta take a couple of chances. You can't just

1157
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 2: keep it all, you know, that close. You gotta throw

1158
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 2: the ball downfield, and you gotta take take a few

1159
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 2: chance to you know, expand that defense a little bit.

1160
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 3: Let's hit some of these sweets, shall we, because I'd

1161
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 3: be curious to hear from some Bronco fans tonight. I

1162
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:58,240
Speaker 3: know we got a great affiliate in Denver.

1163
00:51:58,680 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 6: Uh.

1164
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 3: The best way to get in touch is that stinking

1167
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 3: a great listener base in Denver. How are you guys

1168
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 3: feeling about Stidham stepping up? Stepping up here? Are you

1169
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:14,800
Speaker 3: panicking a bit? Or you should? Right because he's your backup?

1170
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 3: But he's also a guy that because of the stability

1171
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 3: of bo Nicks, you really haven't had to turn to

1172
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:22,399
Speaker 3: him in a couple of years, so you really haven't

1173
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 3: even even seen him on the field.

1174
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 5: How we feeling Bronco fans?

1175
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:28,359
Speaker 2: Forget the fans for a second, Okay, and forget.

1176
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 5: That after I just spent five minutes talking about on board, I.

1177
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 2: Just wondering what city would you like to see you

1178
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:36,800
Speaker 2: get the Super Bowl? I mean, we don't want to

1179
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,879
Speaker 2: see Boston get anymore. They're they're done though, We're.

1180
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 4: Guys, fine, Yeah, I wouldn't mind Denver. I'm getting their

1181
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 4: super Bowl. It has been quite a while. For some reason.

1182
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 2: I'm kind of anti Seattle, and of course, you know,

1183
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 2: my my hometown, LA, So I wouldn't mind Los Angeles

1184
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 2: getting them and driving everybody crazy when the Dodgers win

1185
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 2: and the Rams win and everything's out there in La

1186
00:52:58,320 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 2: that'd be funny.

1187
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 5: I'm kind of rude for Seattle.

1188
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't have a rooting interest at all,

1189
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 3: but I mean, if you're listen, Denver is in our travel.

1190
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 5: Here's the problem with the Broncos.

1191
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 2: Aren't I want a team in the United States to win?

1192
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 2: You want to jo that's the jokes you try. What's

1193
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 2: the whole take that Seattle's not in the United States

1194
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 2: or something?

1195
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 4: I just didn't you know, it's far away.

1196
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 3: But it's far away. It's up that Pacific Northwest. It's

1197
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 3: almost like it's in Canada. There's a lot of Sooners

1198
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 3: on that Bronco roster though. There's a lot of Sooners man,

1199
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:35,440
Speaker 3: Nick Benito, Marvin Mims, de Larry Turner, de Larry Turner yell.

1200
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 3: I mean, there's some Sooner dudes on that roster. So

1201
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 3: it's so hard man. As a Raiders fan, it's just hard.

1202
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 3: If I was.

1203
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 2: If I was rooting for a certain player, there's no

1204
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 2: doubt to be Stafford really him the absolutely I.

1205
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,399
Speaker 5: Thought you didn't like Stafford? Why are you always trying

1206
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 5: to retire him?

1207
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 2: Then no, I just yeah, I wouldn't have been surprised,

1208
00:53:57,920 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 2: But look at the numbers he put up this year

1209
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 2: just absolutely phenomenal. But I'm a big fan of his,

1210
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:05,799
Speaker 2: so I would have been rooting for him or Josh

1211
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 2: Allen to go ahead and win it.

1212
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 3: Let's get a couple of tweets in here. It's thinking

1213
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,319
Speaker 3: genius Swanam at Plank Show. Everyone go follow us at

1214
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio. Here we go, JV, Jimmy V. Great question,

1215
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 3: great point. Seven years ago we witnessed robbery on national

1216
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,840
Speaker 3: TV no pass interference in the Rams Saints game. To

1217
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 3: right the wrong, the NFL made offensive pass interference pass

1218
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 3: interference period a challengeable penalty. That following year, the result

1219
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 3: the NFL reversed course, knowing that all penalties are subjectable. Now,

1220
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 3: do you feel like there'll be some sort of clarification

1221
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:45,439
Speaker 3: in the rule after last night, or do you feel

1222
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 3: like there.

1223
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:46,919
Speaker 5: Doesn't need to be No.

1224
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what surprises me, just real quick, Carney, Yeah,

1225
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 2: and I think you hit this earlier. I'm surprised at

1226
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 2: how quickly they just moved on from it, Like that

1227
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 2: was one of those plays where I think you kind

1228
00:54:57,719 --> 00:54:58,479
Speaker 2: of stopped the game.

1229
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 5: You take your time watch it.

1230
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 3: It just seemed as if it just seemed as if

1231
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 3: it's like, oh yeah, interception, We'll be right back after this.

1232
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 5: Say they didn't stop for a review or anything.

1233
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 2: That's the one time you take five minutes to go

1234
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 2: ahead and make sure that you got everything right.

1235
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 4: I agree with you one hundred percent.

1236
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 2: Notice how we still remember something a bad call from

1237
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 2: seven years ago that still resonates with us today. Because

1238
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 2: that's what I'm talking about when I say that the

1239
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 2: officiating is just absolutely horrendous and it's so bad that

1240
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:33,359
Speaker 2: it still resonates with us today from mistakes they've made

1241
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 2: seven years ago. We don't have to go back that

1242
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 2: far to find horrendous mistake. We still talk about mistakes

1243
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 2: they've made the World Series and stuff like that. It's

1244
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 2: just it's just atrocious that these guys can't get their

1245
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 2: job better. And I know the NFL likes to say

1246
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 2: we get like ninety nine percent of the calls, right, Bolona,

1247
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 2: you get ninety nine percent of the calls right, you're

1248
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 2: more like seventy five percent.

1249
00:55:56,040 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 3: I think I'm a writer, Rob Jay Right, the Patriots

1250
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 3: were allowed to hit Texans receivers early all game. The

1251
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:08,719
Speaker 3: NFL is so predictable. What does Robert Kraft have on

1252
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 3: Roger Goodell, Paul. I told you we'd have several from

1253
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 3: Paul tonight. He's a Bills fan who's going through it

1254
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 3: with us. The reason Bill's fan blame Bill's fans blame McDermott, Arnie,

1255
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 3: is if you took Josh Allen off this team, they

1256
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 3: would be lucky to win five games. If you took

1257
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 3: Sean McDermott off this team, would anyone notice.

1258
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 5: That? That's a fair question.

1259
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 2: Yea Wolves Sean McDermott. They were losing Super Bowls way

1260
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:37,839
Speaker 2: before Sean mcderbott, that's for sure.

1261
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:39,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, they were leeve.

1262
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 4: He's not walking to do that, Dar, He's still.

1263
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,919
Speaker 5: Around, he's still with us. Yeah, mister nobody. Arnie is right.

1264
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 3: Yes, the NFL does have an officiating problem because the

1265
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 3: league looks less credible when the Cooks play is called

1266
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 3: to catch and an interception and the DeVante Adams catch

1267
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 3: and the same situation is called to catch.

1268
00:56:57,680 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 5: My wife got stripped away.

1269
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wanted to know the actual difference between the two,

1270
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 2: and us said there is There isn't right, right, right,

1271
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 2: There is no difference, And that's that's why I get mad.

1272
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 2: We still talk about Calvin Johnson was a catch or not,

1273
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:15,880
Speaker 2: and it's just it's getting out of hand.

1274
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 4: Really, It's just maybe it.

1275
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 2: Just seems like it's more out of hand because we

1276
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 2: have so many different angles, so many camrangles, and we

1277
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 2: have social media that I can slow it down one

1278
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 2: hundred times and it will run on my Twitter feed

1279
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 2: two million times before come on the air, so I

1280
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 2: can look at it every agle back in the day.

1281
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:36,919
Speaker 4: You can only see it once. If you could see

1282
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 4: it once.

1283
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 5: All right, quick break.

1284
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 3: When we come back, Todd Furman joins us to go

1285
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 3: through all the numbers and angles from the weekend that

1286
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 3: was and will be in the game tomorrow night.

1287
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:47,439
Speaker 5: It's next right here on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 3: All right, is that time we say hello to the man,

1293
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 3: the myth, the legend. Todd Furman is in the house.

1294
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 3: What's going on, Todd? How are you?

1295
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 8: I'm doing well today, gentlemen. Hopefully you guys are as well.

1296
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 8: Some interesting football games unfolding, and we get one step

1297
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 8: closer to handing out that Lombardi Trophy. In just three

1298
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 8: short weeks.

1299
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 5: I can't wait, Man, can't wait.

1300
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:20,600
Speaker 3: Hey, give me your perspective before we get into the

1301
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 3: games today. On the call last night, the interception the

1302
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 3: Bills Broncos game has been the big topic here through

1303
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 3: our first hour and a half.

1304
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 5: What'd you take away from it?

1305
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 8: Look, I think it's always bang bang, and un till

1306
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 8: the NFL has clearly defined rules in terms of catch,

1307
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 8: possessions and all of that, we're always going to be

1308
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 8: at the mercy things that happen in a split second.

1309
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 8: Do I think that the call on the field should

1310
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 8: have stood instead of having expedited a review having it

1311
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 8: overturned probably should be the case. We have to trust

1312
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 8: our officials. But for anybody who thinks it's part of

1313
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 8: something bigger and more nefarious, they're just eluding themselves. And

1314
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 8: you know, unfortunately, Bill fans have lived through this level

1315
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 8: of heartbreak more than a few times. And just when

1316
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 8: you think that they're going to have things clear up

1317
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 8: for them and they'll have an opportunity to finally win

1318
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 8: that elusive Super Bowl and bring it back to Worchard Park,

1319
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 8: something like that happens, and then of course we get

1320
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 8: the news that Bo Nicks actually breaks his ankle in

1321
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 8: overtime and the Broncos are going to have to forge

1322
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 8: ahead with Jared Stitta, who hasn't taken a snap as

1323
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 8: an NFL quarterback in meaningful action since twenty twenty three.

1324
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:21,160
Speaker 2: Todd, I don't think there's a conspiracy theory. I just

1325
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 2: think that officials are horrible at their job. I just

1326
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 2: think they don't do a very good job, and that

1327
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 2: the NFL has an officiating problem.

1328
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 4: We still remember all the bad calls. Somebody just tweeted

1329
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 4: from the one that.

1330
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 2: Happened seven years ago with the Rams in the Saints

1331
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 2: where there was no pass interference call. You remember that,

1332
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 2: all kinds of calls that we're going to remember, and

1333
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 2: they just do a horrible job in officiating.

1334
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 4: I really believe that.

1335
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 8: I think you know, to a certain extent, you're right.

1336
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 8: Until we can make this a perfect science, that we're

1337
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 8: always going to have calls that feel like AO against

1338
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 8: one team or the wrong way or another. And I'm

1339
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 8: not sure what the perfect solution is for it. I mean,

1340
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 8: you look at the average age of NFL officials, and

1341
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:04,640
Speaker 8: the reality of it is tough for guys like that

1342
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 8: to be able to keep up with players that are

1343
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 8: twenty one and twenty two operating at their feet at

1344
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 8: their peak physical primes, running four to four speed. So

1345
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 8: you want the eye in the sky. You don't want

1346
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 8: to over officiate the games. But at the same time,

1347
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:18,440
Speaker 8: there's so much at stake, not just from the fans

1348
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 8: but the dollars and cents and everything else that you

1349
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 8: want these calls to be right. And I wish there

1350
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 8: was a perfect solution, one that we could find collaboratively

1351
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 8: so nobody had a gripe about how a game transpired

1352
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 8: in key junctures of the contest. But unfortunately we're not

1353
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 8: there yet, And you hope that the league probably takes

1354
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 8: us into consideration and tries to figure out ways to

1355
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 8: just get better and better in terms of what they're doing.

1356
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 8: My biggest gripe with the NFL is that we don't

1357
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 8: have full time officials. I mean, there's no reason that

1358
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 8: a billion dollar business shouldn't be able to pay their

1359
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 8: officials year round, give them proper healthcare benefits, and make

1360
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 8: sure we have the brightest and the sharpest out there

1361
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 8: officiating the game the same way we do with the players,

1362
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 8: and make it ultimately a meritocracy.

1363
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 3: Can not agree more. You could not agree more. You

1364
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 3: can just have a full time officiating job. And I

1365
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 3: know the whole idea as well. You know, these guys

1366
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 3: have very lucrative jobs, some of them do. Okay, great,

1367
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 3: if it matters Todd, Let's make this a fairly lucrative position, right,

1368
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:18,479
Speaker 3: I mean, let's make this where it's not a side job.

1369
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 3: Let's make it your number one responsibility. And I've never

1370
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 3: heard a good explanation as to why you wouldn't do that.

1371
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 8: And I'm right there with you. I haven't heard one either.

1372
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 8: I mean, this is a billion dollar business right now.

1373
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 8: We see what these NFL franchise valuations are, and look,

1374
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 8: the thirty two owners across the league don't get rich

1375
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 8: because they are squandering money on what they feel aren't

1376
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 8: exactly the right investments. But at the same time, there's

1377
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 8: absolutely no reason and somebody can pitch me on why

1378
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 8: officials shouldn't be full time by all means. I'm more

1379
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 8: than open to listening to the series and the strategies

1380
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 8: out there, but I think you can make these lucrative positions.

1381
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 8: You can make sure that you have the best officiating

1382
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 8: crews that are out there, and there's no reason in

1383
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 8: this day and age with a TV content extra what

1384
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 8: they are and what's at stake that these guys can't

1385
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 8: be doing a year round. You can put them through

1386
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 8: fitness tests, you can hold them accountable from visual acuity

1387
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 8: to a variety of other things, and constantly making sure

1388
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 8: that we have a revolving door of some of the

1389
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 8: best officials out there that are officiating on the biggest stages.

1390
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:18,080
Speaker 2: All right, Todd, The Patriots opened up as a four

1391
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 2: point favorite and immediately shot up to five and a half.

1392
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 2: People all over that couple questions Stidham, is it how

1393
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 2: many points is it worth that he's playing? What would

1394
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 2: have been the spread if it was bo Nix into

1395
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 2: the game, And did you make a bet on this

1396
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:37,000
Speaker 2: one already or are you waiting off on this one?

1397
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 8: So I don't make the market a seven point downgrade

1398
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 8: like it's suggesting right now. Denver projected to be about

1399
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 8: a one to one and a half point favorite, all

1400
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,240
Speaker 8: things being equal, even if you factor in the results

1401
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 8: that we saw over the weekend, if it was a

1402
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 8: healthy bon Nix. To your point, Arnie, you saw a

1403
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 8: lot of prominent books open this number in that four

1404
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 8: to four and a half range immediately get bet up.

1405
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:57,920
Speaker 8: I think that was people thinking that might be the

1406
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 8: best number that they could find available New England that

1407
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 8: was going to be largely one way traffic, and from

1408
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 8: the book's perspective, they're going to need Denver not only

1409
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 8: to cover, but in my opinion, to win this football

1410
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 8: game outright, to blow up some of the exotics that

1411
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 8: we always talk about, moneyline parlay teasers, what have you me? Personally,

1412
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:16,439
Speaker 8: I think this number has gone too far. I don't

1413
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 8: have anything that I would call a substantial position, but

1414
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 8: I did take a little bit at the plus six

1415
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 8: at the top of the market when it was available. Well,

1416
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 8: Sean Payton is a guy and the guy that has

1417
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 8: a massive ego, and for better or worse, he's going

1418
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 8: to relish this opportunity to go out there with a

1419
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 8: backup quarterback and prove that he is the smartest man

1420
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:35,280
Speaker 8: in the room and that he can get things done

1421
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:38,080
Speaker 8: against this New England team that quite frankly, has been

1422
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:40,200
Speaker 8: a lot better defensively through the first two games than

1423
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:42,640
Speaker 8: anything we've seen on the offensive side. And so if

1424
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 8: the Broncos defense is worth assault, and I think it's

1425
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 8: an overrated unit and one that hasn't performed with high

1426
01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 8: standards over the last six to eight weeks. This is

1427
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 8: where they have to raise their level of play, force

1428
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 8: a shortfield or two. And when you see that Drake

1429
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:55,480
Speaker 8: May's pocket presence has been waning a little bit so

1430
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 8: far this postseason, Denver has to force a short field

1431
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 8: and be able to help their offense out. We've seen

1432
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 8: Denver do it before with a quarterback that wasn't quite

1433
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:07,480
Speaker 8: up to snuff with an elite defensive performance, and maybe

1434
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:09,680
Speaker 8: history will be able to repeat itself in this particular

1435
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 8: spot with Denver as a five and a half point

1436
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 8: home under dogs comes Sunday afternoon.

1437
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 3: A year ago, we all loved Washington in their future

1438
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 3: and it was so bright, and we see what happened

1439
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 3: this year. Could it be different for the Bears? I

1440
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:24,960
Speaker 3: mean it depends on stant healthy right, Let's face it.

1441
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 3: Jane Daniels got hurt this year. That hurt them. But

1442
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 3: is Chicago a little bit better position, maybe even than

1443
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 3: Washington was last year to sustain the success and continue

1444
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 3: to build.

1445
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 8: I do think the Bears are in a good spot.

1446
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 8: And the reason I say that is because, in my opinion,

1447
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 8: Tayler Williams is just now starting to scratch the surface,

1448
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 8: oh of what he can do. Immensely talented. You'd like

1449
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:46,479
Speaker 8: to see him be a little more accurate in terms

1450
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 8: of taking the layups instead of just coming up with

1451
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 8: heroic plays, being more jig judicious when it comes time

1452
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 8: to use his legs and kind of evade some of

1453
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 8: the pressure that's there. But you look at the Bears

1454
01:04:57,600 --> 01:04:59,200
Speaker 8: from top to bottom, and we can start on the

1455
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 8: offensive side where the O line made major strides this

1456
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 8: year and it was a top five unit for a

1457
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 8: group that was bottom five last year. Added some veterans,

1458
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 8: Darnell Wright has clearly turned the corner.

1459
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 1: And while I'm not.

1460
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:12,439
Speaker 8: Sure they'll get Ozzie Trapio back on the left side

1461
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 8: of the line, I think that's a group in much

1462
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 8: better position than we would have anticipated. Skill position wise.

1463
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 8: Colston Lovelin is going to be an absolute star and

1464
01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 8: for fantasy players out there, look, I think he should

1465
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 8: be the first Fantasy tight end off the board, even

1466
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 8: ahead of Trey McBride, who's going to have some aggression,

1467
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:28,680
Speaker 8: but more on that discussion later. You look at the

1468
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:31,480
Speaker 8: receiving room, Luther Burden roma Dunes that I don't think

1469
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:33,520
Speaker 8: DJ Moore will factor into what they want to do

1470
01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:35,960
Speaker 8: going forward. In the backfield, Kyle Manungai is going to

1471
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 8: come on as a true number one the Bears. You

1472
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:40,840
Speaker 8: saw glimpses defensively of what this team could be as

1473
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 8: well when they were healthy. Kyler Gordon, Jakwan Brisker and

1474
01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 8: Jalen Johnson a extremely talented trio. They do need to

1475
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 8: try and figure out where they can get a defensive

1476
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 8: end or defensive tackle. We happen to have one out

1477
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 8: here in the desert that would be a perfect fit

1478
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 8: for what the Bears they're looking to do if they

1479
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:58,640
Speaker 8: could make that trade, but if they're able to generate

1480
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 8: a little bit of a pass rush. They feel to

1481
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:03,440
Speaker 8: me right now like they're on the Detroit Lions trajectory,

1482
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 8: where the offense is close the defense is a little

1483
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 8: bit further away. What the Bears are going to have

1484
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 8: to fight through next year to be able to replicate

1485
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 8: this level of success is the regression that's lurking right

1486
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 8: around the corner. Because you can't find yourself down at

1487
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:17,800
Speaker 8: two minute warning and win seventy eight football games in

1488
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 8: this league. It's just too difficult. So they better make sure,

1489
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:22,920
Speaker 8: they're building themselves a comfortable margin and they're not going

1490
01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 8: to find them in one score games late. But I

1491
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 8: think the Bears are formidable, They're here to stay, and

1492
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 8: they don't have the same kind of salary captain Straets

1493
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 8: that I think can plague the Commanders going forward. I

1494
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:33,800
Speaker 8: don't think it's as simple as waving the magic wand

1495
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:35,680
Speaker 8: and getting Gaden and Daniels back to believe that the

1496
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:37,240
Speaker 8: Commanders will pick up where they left off in his

1497
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:38,480
Speaker 8: rookie season, Tod.

1498
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 4: Explain to me the line in the Seattle Rams game.

1499
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 2: If you get three for home Field, and I usually

1500
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 2: give four for Seattle even if you thought they were

1501
01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 2: dead even teams that should be a four point spread,

1502
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 2: Seattle publy a point or two favorite, that line should

1503
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:51,720
Speaker 2: be about five or six.

1504
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:52,240
Speaker 4: Should it not?

1505
01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 2: Or what?

1506
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 8: Well, the baseline right now for home Field has come

1507
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:56,840
Speaker 8: down a little bit, aren't from where it used to be.

1508
01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 8: You're looking at home Field kind of more one one

1509
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:01,720
Speaker 8: and a half Seattle is this point of the season

1510
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 8: in a conference championship game is going to be one

1511
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 8: of the bigger ones that you're going to find in

1512
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:08,400
Speaker 8: the NFL. So I have no issues with you saying

1513
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:09,760
Speaker 8: that you want to make it three three and a

1514
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 8: half points. Keep in mind, though we did see the Rams,

1515
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 8: you know, kind of hover right around to pick them

1516
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:16,920
Speaker 8: when these two teams met on that faithful Thursday night.

1517
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:19,440
Speaker 8: The Rams had a sixteen point lead in that game,

1518
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 8: and it was a unique circum situation or circumstance of

1519
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:26,400
Speaker 8: events that allowed Seattle to ultimately go on and win

1520
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 8: that game and secure that number one spot. Now, what

1521
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:31,439
Speaker 8: I do think works against the Rams is playing two

1522
01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:34,200
Speaker 8: very emotional games, having criss crossed the country not once

1523
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 8: but twice against a rested Seahawks team who had a

1524
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 8: glorified dress rehearsal against the San Francisco forty nine ers

1525
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 8: who were just ravaged by injuries. So I can understand

1526
01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 8: why you're making a case, but a little bit of

1527
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:47,880
Speaker 8: buyer beware. I think the Rams are slightly more battle tested,

1528
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:50,440
Speaker 8: and I don't want to ignore the Sam Darnald oblique

1529
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:52,440
Speaker 8: injury that didn't appear to be a big deal against

1530
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:54,520
Speaker 8: the Niners because he wasn't asked to go out there

1531
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 8: and do a whole heck of a lot. We can

1532
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 8: say we want about pain killers and anti inflammatories. The

1533
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:00,479
Speaker 8: Rams are going to get after him a little bit more,

1534
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 8: and I think the rubber match, so to speak, between

1535
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:05,880
Speaker 8: these two teams going to be phenomenal, as this will

1536
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 8: be I think the eighth time in the last fourteen

1537
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:10,120
Speaker 8: years a team from the AFC West will represent the

1538
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 8: NFC in the Super Bowl.

1539
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:13,320
Speaker 3: How you field tomorrow night? I think we're going to

1540
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:15,280
Speaker 3: get a hell of the game between Miami and Indiana.

1541
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 3: What are you thinking?

1542
01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:18,280
Speaker 8: I agree with you. I agree with you. I think

1543
01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:21,479
Speaker 8: this number is a little bit overblown, given that Indiana

1544
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:24,599
Speaker 8: closed a seven point favorite against Alabama and the Rose Bowl,

1545
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 8: and here we are laying seven and a half against

1546
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:29,120
Speaker 8: the Miami team that I think is significantly better at

1547
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 8: this point in the season than Alabama was in that spot.

1548
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:34,240
Speaker 8: Indiana has been phenomenal. It's tough to try and try

1549
01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 8: and find flaws in their game through what we saw

1550
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:39,040
Speaker 8: in the quarterfinals or the Semis. But if Miami protects

1551
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 8: the football and doesn't now allow Indiana to rack up

1552
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 8: thirty five points one hundred and seventy five yards, I

1553
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:45,719
Speaker 8: think this is going to be a four quarter fight.

1554
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:47,280
Speaker 8: It was only a few weeks ago in the Big

1555
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 8: Ten Championship we saw Indiana matchup against the team that

1556
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:52,799
Speaker 8: could hold their own on the offensive a defensive line.

1557
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:54,320
Speaker 8: They were a three and a half point dog in

1558
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:56,400
Speaker 8: that game, but needed a couple of timely stops to

1559
01:08:56,439 --> 01:08:58,600
Speaker 8: beat the Buckeyes thirteen to ten. I don't think this

1560
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:00,800
Speaker 8: game will be that low scoring and concerns about the

1561
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:03,800
Speaker 8: Miami defensive backfield, knowing that a couple dbs are banged up,

1562
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:05,600
Speaker 8: you're gonna have one of your top cover corners or

1563
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 8: number two suspended for the first half of what I

1564
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 8: think was an erroneous targeting call. But Carson Beck is

1565
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 8: a veteran and look, he's had two years since he

1566
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:15,360
Speaker 8: graduated from school to just be a pro football player

1567
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 8: walking around all the campusis so I fully expect Miami

1568
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:21,640
Speaker 8: will embrace the atmosphere. They'll play with us against the

1569
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:24,040
Speaker 8: world mentality, and treat this as a game that has

1570
01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 8: been twenty plus years in the making to exact and

1571
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:29,479
Speaker 8: measure revenge against a Big ten program on the national

1572
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 8: stage in their own building. I think Miami's extremely live

1573
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:33,639
Speaker 8: as an underdog, and I think you can make a lot

1574
01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:35,479
Speaker 8: worse bets than backing the Canes on the money line

1575
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 8: at plus two seventy love it.

1576
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:37,599
Speaker 5: Love doing that.

1577
01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 4: Thanks Todd.

1578
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 5: Have a great week, buddy. We'll talk to you next Sunday.

1579
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 8: Always a pleasure, gentlemen. You guys as well.

1580
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:45,240
Speaker 5: There he goes. Here come Steve de Seger with everything

1581
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:45,799
Speaker 5: that's trending.

1582
01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:48,280
Speaker 7: What's going on, Steve, I'm glad you guys mentioned that

1583
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 7: NFL officials do have other jobs. Maybe other people don't

1584
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 7: realize this. This isn't like baseball where they're full time

1585
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 7: union and they're humping in some cases the six, seven

1586
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 7: days a week. The guy who worked the Bears game tonight,

1587
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:06,880
Speaker 7: Sean Hocules from southern California. He's a financial advisor yesterday's

1588
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 7: Seahawks game. Another Southern California native, John Hussey, runs his

1589
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:15,160
Speaker 7: own nonprofit. Yesterday's ref at the Denver playoff game from

1590
01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:19,040
Speaker 7: southern California. Carl Sheffers is a sales manager. There's one

1591
01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 7: NFL ref who's from Albuquerque. He is the chief building

1592
01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:26,599
Speaker 7: officer for that city. You can't build in that town

1593
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:27,959
Speaker 7: without going through.

1594
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 2: The former players, like and this guy used to play

1595
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:32,559
Speaker 2: for the Kansas City Chiefs or something.

1596
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:35,160
Speaker 7: I know of the former players. There was a former

1597
01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:37,479
Speaker 7: player who actually made the Super Bowl in the last

1598
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:40,479
Speaker 7: crew in the last year or two, which was a first.

1599
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:43,599
Speaker 3: And there's a lot of guys that played college ball, yes,

1600
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:46,559
Speaker 3: refs now, yeah, Lynda Nixon, Clay Martin.

1601
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:48,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're good guys out there.

1602
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:51,280
Speaker 7: But keep in mind that the referees this weekend they're

1603
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:54,760
Speaker 7: working with all star crews, so they're likely on the

1604
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 7: field with guys they've literally not worked with before the

1605
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:03,439
Speaker 7: entire season. And yes, all of those other guys have

1606
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:07,000
Speaker 7: other jobs. So like the Bears playoff game tonight, the

1607
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:09,120
Speaker 7: back judge is a computer guy. During the week the

1608
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:14,440
Speaker 7: side judge Stigal said, an line judge and mutual funds. Yeah,

1609
01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:16,880
Speaker 7: now that sounds like too young to be at NFL.

1610
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:21,480
Speaker 7: The LA Rams wound up winners at Chicago in overtime

1611
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:25,200
Speaker 7: twenty to seventeen. Kyra and Williams two touchdown runs, and

1612
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:28,720
Speaker 7: Cam Curl, LA safety not only had thirteen tackles but

1613
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:31,600
Speaker 7: an overtime interception. In fact, when that happened, one of

1614
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:35,040
Speaker 7: the NFL network guys tweeted said, now that's a curl round.

1615
01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:38,880
Speaker 7: Defensive back Kobe Durant had two interceptions for LA, but

1616
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:42,680
Speaker 7: according to the Next Gen Stats, Cam Curl of the

1617
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:47,080
Speaker 7: Rams was targeted only four times all night in coverage,

1618
01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:50,280
Speaker 7: allowed just two catches, and had two passes defense. His

1619
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:53,240
Speaker 7: thirteen tackles were the team high in this one, and

1620
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:56,280
Speaker 7: he missed just one tackle in what was essentially a

1621
01:11:56,320 --> 01:12:00,400
Speaker 7: five quarter game. New England at home eliminated Houston twenty

1622
01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:04,360
Speaker 7: eight to sixteen. Drake May and company are seeing a

1623
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:07,320
Speaker 7: bit tougher schedule in the postseason. If you're thinking that,

1624
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:11,040
Speaker 7: you are correct. They only faced one top five defense

1625
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:14,120
Speaker 7: the entire regular season. That was Miles Garrett and the Browns.

1626
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:18,040
Speaker 7: What they faced in the playoffs Drake May. Last week

1627
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:22,519
Speaker 7: in against the Chargers, which were top five in total defense, well,

1628
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:25,439
Speaker 7: it didn't go well. Remember how low scoring that game was.

1629
01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:29,640
Speaker 7: Last Sunday Nights against the Chargers, Drake May had two turnovers.

1630
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 7: He was sacked five times. Today against Houston sacked five times,

1631
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:36,839
Speaker 7: three touchdown passes, but three turnovers as well. The Texans

1632
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 7: were number one in total defense this season. Next up

1633
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 7: at Denver, the team that was number two in total

1634
01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:46,639
Speaker 7: defense this season. No quarterback has ever beaten three top

1635
01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:49,760
Speaker 7: five defenses in a single postseason. Drake May is going

1636
01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:52,120
Speaker 7: to have to do that three in a row to

1637
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:55,000
Speaker 7: get to the Super Bowl. Now, the Patriots defense was

1638
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:59,520
Speaker 7: pretty good itself today. They forced four first half interceptions

1639
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:03,840
Speaker 7: from c J. Stroud, including a pick six. Tight windows

1640
01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:06,680
Speaker 7: was the phrase of the day if you're unfamiliar with

1641
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:08,800
Speaker 7: that in footballs when the quarterback doesn't have a lot

1642
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:11,040
Speaker 7: of space to fit the ball into the receiver. In fact,

1643
01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:13,919
Speaker 7: it was tight windows on thirty percent of the passes

1644
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 7: from c. J. Stroud, which would be the highest rate

1645
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:20,479
Speaker 7: by any playoff defense over the last six postseasons. That

1646
01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:23,320
Speaker 7: was what he was facing with the Pats, who win

1647
01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:26,280
Speaker 7: again at home. Their home playoff record now twenty four

1648
01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:30,040
Speaker 7: and five, che best all time for any team who's

1649
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:33,080
Speaker 7: played at least ten home playoff games. Now the forty

1650
01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:35,719
Speaker 7: nine ers have more total playoff wins, but that winning

1651
01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:40,200
Speaker 7: percentage well over eight hundred in home playoff games, incredible

1652
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:42,719
Speaker 7: for New England. So if you're gonna say, wait, it matter.

1653
01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:46,200
Speaker 7: But the Patriots didn't play that hardest schedule. Well, we

1654
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:49,880
Speaker 7: just mentioned they're beating good defenses now and if you said, well,

1655
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:51,920
Speaker 7: now they got to go on the road, they got

1656
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:54,800
Speaker 7: to do. The Patriots were undefeated on the road this year.

1657
01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 7: They were eight to.

1658
01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:56,639
Speaker 4: Zero on the road.

1659
01:13:56,640 --> 01:13:57,120
Speaker 5: This season.

1660
01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:59,799
Speaker 7: The late NBA game went to the Lakers over Toronto

1661
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:03,040
Speaker 7: one ten to ninety three. Luka Doncic did play. He

1662
01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:06,360
Speaker 7: had been questionable after sitting out Saturday night with groin injury.

1663
01:14:06,439 --> 01:14:09,719
Speaker 7: Twenty five points for him. College hoops number seven Houston

1664
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:13,559
Speaker 7: ripped Arizona State one O three, seventy three NHL wins

1665
01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:16,919
Speaker 7: for Tampa Bay, Edmonton, and Detroit in overtime beat Ottawa.

1666
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:17,479
Speaker 5: Yes.

1667
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:21,679
Speaker 7: College Football's National title game is Monday night, Indiana at Miami.

1668
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:24,759
Speaker 7: The NBA All Star Game starters will be announced on Monday,

1669
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:28,360
Speaker 7: a holiday, and baseball news is brave short stuff. Hassan

1670
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:31,599
Speaker 7: Kim will miss four to five months after finger surgery.

1671
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:36,120
Speaker 7: Former White Sox knuckleballer Wilbur Wood has passed away. This

1672
01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:38,680
Speaker 7: guy had over six hundred and fifty games on the

1673
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:41,280
Speaker 7: mound in his long career, about half of them starts.

1674
01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 7: Career era was three point twenty four. He was in

1675
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 7: his eighties. Baseball's Hall of Fame announcement comes Tuesday. On

1676
01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:51,439
Speaker 7: the ballot Carlos Beltro and Andrew Jones and others already.

1677
01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 7: Former second baseman Jeff Kent was elected to the Hall

1678
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 7: by a committee. He got fourteen of those sixteen votes,

1679
01:14:57,520 --> 01:14:59,120
Speaker 7: needing twelve to get in back to you.

1680
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:00,439
Speaker 5: Hey, thanks a lot, Steve.

1681
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:02,880
Speaker 3: All Right, we got hit a break, running a little

1682
01:15:02,920 --> 01:15:04,840
Speaker 3: bit behind, but that's what happens when you get going

1683
01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:05,960
Speaker 3: with Arnie's hot takes.

1684
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:09,200
Speaker 5: When we come back to the segment, more numbers too.

1685
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:14,559
Speaker 3: And I saw this Josh Allen Sinners, not the Josh

1686
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:17,920
Speaker 3: Allen football player, but Josh Allen in Indy. Did you

1687
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:22,360
Speaker 3: see that already that eighty eight percent of the bets

1688
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:25,360
Speaker 3: in the Patriots Broncos game are on the Patriots for

1689
01:15:25,479 --> 01:15:25,880
Speaker 3: the number.

1690
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:27,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, it doesn't surprise me at.

1691
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:30,960
Speaker 2: Seventy percent on the money line a little bit more balanced,

1692
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:35,200
Speaker 2: but ninety percent of the bets in the NFC is

1693
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:38,120
Speaker 2: on Seattle minus two and a half when you look

1694
01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:40,120
Speaker 2: at the spread bats, that kind of surprised me a bit.

1695
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:42,080
Speaker 2: But you can you can get rich if you were

1696
01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:44,280
Speaker 2: if you want to take Denver on the money line

1697
01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:45,120
Speaker 2: and they win that game.

1698
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:47,160
Speaker 5: Oh, you've got great numbers right now.

1699
01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:49,080
Speaker 3: We'll talk about more in depth as the night rolls

1700
01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 3: on with Ardy and Plank on Fox Sports Radio.

1701
01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:56,000
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio, all.

1702
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:59,160
Speaker 3: Right, we're hustling on a Sunday night into a Monday morning.

1703
01:16:00,200 --> 01:16:03,360
Speaker 3: Here's Steve Desager with the segment, what's going on, Steve,

1704
01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:06,120
Speaker 3: the matchup we've got for the NFC title game next Sunday.

1705
01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:09,040
Speaker 3: And again that's the later game six thirty pm Eastern

1706
01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:12,320
Speaker 3: Fox TV Rams at top seeded Seattle.

1707
01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:14,880
Speaker 5: It's also the Seahawks.

1708
01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:17,519
Speaker 7: Number one in the league in scoring defense against the Rams,

1709
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:20,720
Speaker 7: who were the top scoring offense. First time in over

1710
01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:23,160
Speaker 7: a decade we've had such a meeting in a conference

1711
01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:27,679
Speaker 7: title game since the Seahawks legion of Boom defense beat

1712
01:16:27,880 --> 01:16:31,439
Speaker 7: Aaron Rodgers in the Great Packers Offense twenty fourteen seasons.

1713
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:34,960
Speaker 7: So that's the matchup next Sunday, And if the Rams

1714
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:37,639
Speaker 7: win next week, that'll be for Sean McVay another trip

1715
01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:40,799
Speaker 7: to the Super Bowl three times by the age of forty.

1716
01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:41,719
Speaker 4: Wow.

1717
01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:45,799
Speaker 7: The four starting quarterbacks for the conference title games next weekend.

1718
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:48,479
Speaker 7: Let's see, we've got Jared Stidham with one career victory

1719
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:51,680
Speaker 7: as a pro only four starts. He never attempted a

1720
01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:55,040
Speaker 7: pass this entire season for Denver. By the way, Drake

1721
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:57,639
Speaker 7: May had only thirty starts as a pro until today.

1722
01:16:57,720 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 7: Sam Darlds had about ninety starts. Matthew Stafford had two

1723
01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:04,479
Speaker 7: hundred and fifty starts in the NFL going into today,

1724
01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:06,639
Speaker 7: and he wins a close game.

1725
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:07,880
Speaker 5: We'll get to that in a moment.

1726
01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:11,240
Speaker 7: But Sean McVay yet another close win in the postseason.

1727
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:15,320
Speaker 7: The record is seven playoff wins by three points or

1728
01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:18,519
Speaker 7: less by a coach, Bill Belichick and Andy Reid each

1729
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:21,599
Speaker 7: with seven in their long careers. This is already number

1730
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:26,080
Speaker 7: six for Sean McVay playoff wins by three points or less,

1731
01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:28,799
Speaker 7: and of course they played the closest of close games

1732
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:32,839
Speaker 7: at Seattle that last matchup a few weeks ago. Matthew Stafford,

1733
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:35,759
Speaker 7: in his Rams playoff career, has a record of seven

1734
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:39,200
Speaker 7: and two after tonight's overtime win at Chicago. He has

1735
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:42,679
Speaker 7: five game winning drives in the playoffs in his career.

1736
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 7: Rams win on a forty two yard field goal by

1737
01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 7: Harrison Meavis, who also kicked a key thirty two yarder

1738
01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:50,800
Speaker 7: at the end of the first half. That was a

1739
01:17:50,840 --> 01:17:53,240
Speaker 7: line drive knuckler, but it made it through. But it

1740
01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:56,919
Speaker 7: didn't give you any confidence about the Rams special teams,

1741
01:17:57,320 --> 01:18:01,439
Speaker 7: which we have not had covetence in the entire season.

1742
01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:04,439
Speaker 7: The Rams are fourteen and five right now. Their their

1743
01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:06,320
Speaker 7: record could be so much better than that.

1744
01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:09,000
Speaker 4: I think except for special way, it looked like it

1745
01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:09,800
Speaker 4: was left.

1746
01:18:09,920 --> 01:18:12,519
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was not one of those beauties and over

1747
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:15,320
Speaker 7: round that NFL films would show in low.

1748
01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 4: Motion Beavis and butt head. That should be the headline.

1749
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 7: I do like his college nickname, A bit, a bit

1750
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:23,639
Speaker 7: bit thicker kicker. Yeah, he is a big kick. Let's

1751
01:18:23,760 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 7: not forget that. The Bears not only losing overtime because

1752
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:31,280
Speaker 7: Caleb Williams had three interceptions, including one in overtime. Remember,

1753
01:18:31,320 --> 01:18:34,280
Speaker 7: with about three minutes left in regulation, the Bears got

1754
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:37,759
Speaker 7: no points on a goal to go situation, the Rams

1755
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:40,479
Speaker 7: stopped him for no gain on a third down, and

1756
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:43,320
Speaker 7: then the incompletion over the middle on fourth down at

1757
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:46,280
Speaker 7: the two, and the Rams wind up winning winning in

1758
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 7: ot That was key. The Patriots got to win, eliminating

1759
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:52,559
Speaker 7: a Houston team that had won ten games in a

1760
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:54,720
Speaker 7: row until today. It just didn't look like it. Well,

1761
01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:57,200
Speaker 7: the defense looked like it. Twenty eight to sixteen New

1762
01:18:57,240 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 7: England the final. The Patriots defense the first half not

1763
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:05,560
Speaker 7: only four interceptions, including a defensive TD off one of them,

1764
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:10,559
Speaker 7: but they forced twenty two different plays of zero yards

1765
01:19:10,640 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 7: or negative yards just in the first half, most for

1766
01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:16,519
Speaker 7: any team in a first half of a playoff game

1767
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:19,439
Speaker 7: in this century. And they were blitzing on over fifty

1768
01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:22,400
Speaker 7: percent of the dropbacks in the first set. So Shroud

1769
01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:25,200
Speaker 7: who did not have a good first game. Remember that

1770
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:28,120
Speaker 7: game at Pittsburgh was a thirty to sixth final last weekend,

1771
01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 7: but it was only seven to six early in the

1772
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:32,880
Speaker 7: fourth quarter. And that was the game where wide receiver

1773
01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:36,559
Speaker 7: Nico Collins left with a concussion. Christian Kirk stepped up

1774
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 7: in that game, but today it was just too much.

1775
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:42,880
Speaker 7: Collins was out with the concussion. Tight End Dalton Schultz

1776
01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 7: left early with a calf injury. The Texans last game

1777
01:19:46,040 --> 01:19:48,160
Speaker 7: got one hundred yards on the ground from Woody Marx

1778
01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:51,360
Speaker 7: from USC but the team today on the ground twenty

1779
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:55,320
Speaker 7: two carries just forty eight yards rushing and Mark specifically

1780
01:19:55,360 --> 01:20:00,439
Speaker 7: for Houston fourteen carries seventeen yards. One fumble Houston on

1781
01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:04,120
Speaker 7: red zone tds, which just one for four. Now each

1782
01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:06,959
Speaker 7: team was under two hundred fifty yards of total offense.

1783
01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:09,519
Speaker 7: And I mentioned the great defense is that New England

1784
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 7: and may have had to face, and he's going to

1785
01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:12,439
Speaker 7: face another one at Denver.

1786
01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:13,040
Speaker 5: Next week.

1787
01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:16,160
Speaker 7: But something's got to give because I can't see them

1788
01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:18,880
Speaker 7: magically winning three of these in a row. Because Drake

1789
01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:22,479
Speaker 7: May with the two turnovers and sacked five times last week,

1790
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:25,840
Speaker 7: still won a low scoring game, three turnovers and sacked

1791
01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:28,639
Speaker 7: five times. In this home game, the pick six certainly

1792
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:31,360
Speaker 7: helped in the first half. But it's New England at

1793
01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:34,519
Speaker 7: Denver next week for the AFC crown. By the way,

1794
01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:36,800
Speaker 7: this is the twentieth straight NFL season wherehere you have

1795
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:39,200
Speaker 7: at least one team with a new head coach makes

1796
01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:42,639
Speaker 7: the postseason. New England for example, first year with that team,

1797
01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:44,479
Speaker 7: he might be getting to the Super Bowl.

1798
01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:47,320
Speaker 3: Damn Rabel's a hell of a hell of high tennis

1799
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:50,680
Speaker 3: and kicking themselves on that, all right, We got to

1800
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:53,640
Speaker 3: get out. De Saiger has gotten more in depth analysis

1801
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:56,559
Speaker 3: from the two games today, the Rams beating the Bears

1802
01:20:56,560 --> 01:20:59,040
Speaker 3: and the Patriots taking out of the Texans, and we've

1803
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:01,400
Speaker 3: got an hour to figure out what we learned from

1804
01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:03,639
Speaker 3: the divisional games next with Arnie and Plank.

1805
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:06,040
Speaker 5: Hang with us in the Power Hour on Fox Sports Radio.

1806
01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:11,839

Speaker 2: I'm ready? I may go to the Knicks game tomorrow.

1810
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:18,040
Speaker 2: What do you think, I say, go for it. That's

1811
01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:19,080
Speaker 2: your big claim to fame.

1812
01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 3: You know you're gonna be going to more games now

1813
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:22,640
Speaker 3: that you live in Connecticut.

1814
01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:24,599
Speaker 4: The game at five o'clock Eastern.

1815
01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:28,040
Speaker 5: Well, I take that back, I take that back. You

1816
01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:29,519
Speaker 5: did go to a Yukon game.

1817
01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:32,559
Speaker 4: Yes, so, Arizona Yukon saw that.

1818
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:34,320
Speaker 5: Hey you're a wildcat still undefeated.

1819
01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:38,160
Speaker 2: In my arms, I tried to tell you eighteen and oh,

1820
01:21:38,240 --> 01:21:41,360
Speaker 2: only thirteen more games to go to. We're undefeated, and

1821
01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:42,639
Speaker 2: you and I are going to do a play by

1822
01:21:42,680 --> 01:21:43,400
Speaker 2: play game together.

1823
01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:45,360
Speaker 5: No, you had you said the whole season.

1824
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:48,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah, then they'll have to win six games

1825
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:49,559
Speaker 2: in the championship and.

1826
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:50,639
Speaker 5: The Big twelve tournament.

1827
01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:52,920
Speaker 4: Oh, I forgot about that, You're right, I forgot about that.

1828
01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:53,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1829
01:21:53,280 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 3: I mean, you're not going to go undefeated. It's cool

1830
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:59,000
Speaker 3: story right now, but it's just it's not going to happen. Which,

1831
01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:01,280
Speaker 3: by the way, I've been on a pretty hot streak

1832
01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:03,400
Speaker 3: of saying things aren't going to happen, and they happen.

1833
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:05,760
Speaker 5: So, and are you excited that.

1834
01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:07,920
Speaker 4: Might play by play? I've been practicing.

1835
01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:12,479
Speaker 3: Well, good luck, are you excited at all about the

1836
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:13,559
Speaker 3: championship game tonight.

1837
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:18,000
Speaker 2: Not as much as I should be if that's a

1838
01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:20,759
Speaker 2: good thing, because one you think I would be, because

1839
01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:23,519
Speaker 2: one Miami's the other dog. There's a good chance they

1840
01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:25,080
Speaker 2: are not a good chance, but there's a chance they

1841
01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:28,639
Speaker 2: could actually win outright. I do want Indiana to win,

1842
01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:32,080
Speaker 2: just don't find the matchup so intriguing. I don't find

1843
01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:36,519
Speaker 2: Miami likable. I found Indiana likable. So I want to

1844
01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:38,200
Speaker 2: see Indiana win. That they're an eight and a half

1845
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:41,320
Speaker 2: point favorite. I think they will win, but I'm curious

1846
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:43,719
Speaker 2: to see if Miami really does have enough to go ahead.

1847
01:22:44,040 --> 01:22:46,960
Speaker 2: One more game left to put up enough points. Memory

1848
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 2: this Indiana team can score. Sure, if Miami can keep it,

1849
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:52,640
Speaker 2: keep it, uh, it can win the game. But I

1850
01:22:52,640 --> 01:22:54,120
Speaker 2: think they keep it with it a touchdown.

1851
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:57,360
Speaker 5: Can I tell you the only thing that makes Miami

1852
01:22:57,479 --> 01:23:00,400
Speaker 5: unlikable to me is Michael Irvin?

1853
01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:04,439
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, did you see the Saturday Night gat Yeah?

1854
01:23:04,439 --> 01:23:07,080
Speaker 5: And I love Michael Irvin like I really do. But

1855
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:07,639
Speaker 5: it's just.

1856
01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:12,519
Speaker 2: When you're wearing a microphone and you're over there trying

1857
01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:14,599
Speaker 2: to make it about yourself, just stop.

1858
01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:16,080
Speaker 5: I mean, it is either root.

1859
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:18,880
Speaker 3: The guys on and be the biggest supporter or you know,

1860
01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:21,240
Speaker 3: go do your show or whatever you're trying to do,

1861
01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:23,479
Speaker 3: do it somewhere where you're not taking away from the game.

1862
01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:27,599
Speaker 3: But you know, college football's been crushing it in the ratings.

1863
01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:29,720
Speaker 3: For everyone that complains about we don't know what the

1864
01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:31,640
Speaker 3: future of the playoffs are gonna be, ARENI.

1865
01:23:31,439 --> 01:23:33,559
Speaker 5: It's it's it's doing well in the ratings, so we'll

1866
01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:35,200
Speaker 5: see well that pans.

1867
01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:38,800
Speaker 2: Out as well as you say it's doing. It still

1868
01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:41,320
Speaker 2: does have a lot of problems, I hell you have.

1869
01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:44,800
Speaker 2: For every five people that are excited about it, we'll

1870
01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:47,240
Speaker 2: read about two or three say, oh, is that championship

1871
01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:51,560
Speaker 2: game tonight? And you know, no games on a Saturday.

1872
01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:56,160
Speaker 2: Through the play well through what the semifinals in the finals,

1873
01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:58,240
Speaker 2: and now we're gonna have a championship but a Monday.

1874
01:23:58,280 --> 01:24:01,519
Speaker 2: And the games are like what like four months apart

1875
01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:02,320
Speaker 2: or something like that.

1876
01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:05,120
Speaker 5: Not quite that much, but I give it.

1877
01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:06,759
Speaker 2: To It's just crazy. So they do have to do something.

1878
01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:09,120
Speaker 2: I'm just not sure how they're going to work it out,

1879
01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:11,880
Speaker 2: you know, kind of make the games at least one

1880
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:14,960
Speaker 2: week and uh, and don't do it on a Monday.

1881
01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:17,519
Speaker 2: I think it kind of loses Monday, you know.

1882
01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:20,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, so dumb. I've never and they've always done it

1883
01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:24,439
Speaker 3: that way. And speaking of non NFL playoff conversations, here

1884
01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:27,880
Speaker 3: real quick before we get back to the championship game matchups,

1885
01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:32,599
Speaker 3: you got a favorite for your Dolphins? I mean, we've

1886
01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:36,880
Speaker 3: seen two retreads hired after John Harball basically got fired

1887
01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:39,360
Speaker 3: by Baltimore. He's a new head coach of the Giants.

1888
01:24:39,840 --> 01:24:43,200
Speaker 3: Yesterday Kevin Stefanski got inked by the Falcons. And I

1889
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:45,959
Speaker 3: think this is gonna be a busy week for hirings.

1890
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:50,040
Speaker 3: I really do, because the NFL, well, either this week

1891
01:24:50,160 --> 01:24:52,320
Speaker 3: or next week, right the bye week, because the NFL

1892
01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:56,120
Speaker 3: doesn't want super Bowl week having anything other than super

1893
01:24:56,120 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 3: Bowl conversation.

1894
01:24:57,160 --> 01:24:59,360
Speaker 5: So we'll see. But what do you think? What do

1895
01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:01,360
Speaker 5: you think? You you got a favorite for your Dolphins?

1896
01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:02,439
Speaker 5: Now that Marball's not to.

1897
01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:04,559
Speaker 2: Do well, the one I want, we're not going to get.

1898
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:06,080
Speaker 2: He's not going to get a job. I think he's

1899
01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:08,840
Speaker 2: gonna take the years off. I would like to have Tomlin. Tomlin, yeah,

1900
01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:12,040
Speaker 2: I think that would certainly bring something to the table.

1901
01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:14,160
Speaker 2: I would like to go ahead and get him in there.

1902
01:25:14,400 --> 01:25:16,200
Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to coach this year. So

1903
01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:19,760
Speaker 2: unfortunately there then they say the defensive coordinator for what

1904
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:24,160
Speaker 2: the Packers is down to, he's like the favorite for

1905
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:27,639
Speaker 2: two positions or three positions. All of a sudden, he's

1906
01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:28,720
Speaker 2: the hot name out there.

1907
01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:31,400
Speaker 5: Jeff Hapley, former head coach at Boston College.

1908
01:25:31,640 --> 01:25:33,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I think about this, unless you're

1909
01:25:33,680 --> 01:25:36,840
Speaker 2: getting a big name Michael Harbaugh or Tomlin. You know

1910
01:25:36,880 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 2: what any think about coordinators, And it's getting to the

1911
01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:40,720
Speaker 2: point where it's almost kind of.

1912
01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:42,200
Speaker 4: The same thing for coaches too.

1913
01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:45,599
Speaker 2: I mean, look, Mike McDaniel gets fired and people are

1914
01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:47,519
Speaker 2: lined up around the block to go ahead and get him.

1915
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:50,640
Speaker 2: I don't understand. So I would like Tom, but I

1916
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:51,840
Speaker 2: just don't think it's going to happen.

1917
01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:54,200
Speaker 5: I don't think it's gonna happen, but I will.

1918
01:25:55,520 --> 01:25:57,759
Speaker 3: I was a big I want Mike Tomlin guy until

1919
01:25:57,800 --> 01:26:01,920
Speaker 3: someone asked me a very very good question. Yeah, name

1920
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:05,160
Speaker 3: the assistant coach coaches from his tree that have gone

1921
01:26:05,160 --> 01:26:06,040
Speaker 3: out of half success.

1922
01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:08,439
Speaker 4: Does that make a difference to me?

1923
01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:08,840
Speaker 5: It does?

1924
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:12,240
Speaker 4: Coaches he doesn't have a great tree.

1925
01:26:12,400 --> 01:26:12,759
Speaker 5: Rabel.

1926
01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:15,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, but there's old Josh McDaniels.

1927
01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:18,280
Speaker 3: Now the offensive coordinator there that's doing great things for

1928
01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:21,040
Speaker 3: the Patriots. I mean, I think that they're in the

1929
01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:23,439
Speaker 3: front office tree. It's not too bad. I mean you

1930
01:26:23,479 --> 01:26:25,679
Speaker 3: can say that they haven't performed well, but they got jobs.

1931
01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:28,120
Speaker 3: Find me the Mike Tomlin assistant then went out and

1932
01:26:28,160 --> 01:26:30,160
Speaker 3: got a job, or the coordinator that became a head coach.

1933
01:26:30,160 --> 01:26:32,800
Speaker 2: He just doesn't that make Tom Tomlin a better coach

1934
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:35,599
Speaker 2: because of that, as his assistants are maybe not good

1935
01:26:35,680 --> 01:26:37,400
Speaker 2: enough to get head coaching jobs, so we have to

1936
01:26:37,400 --> 01:26:38,200
Speaker 2: do it all himself.

1937
01:26:38,640 --> 01:26:40,880
Speaker 4: Man, you can say that bad way of looking at that.

1938
01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:43,280
Speaker 3: No, No, I mean, listen, I'm open for anything here.

1939
01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:45,960
Speaker 3: It's just it's the one thing that kind of turned

1940
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:47,559
Speaker 3: me off a little bit on that front.

1941
01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:51,920
Speaker 5: But I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what we're getting.

1942
01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:55,799
Speaker 3: We're in a cycle of retreads, and I think everyone's

1943
01:26:55,880 --> 01:26:58,240
Speaker 3: kind of looking for their varabel. I think that's what

1944
01:26:58,280 --> 01:27:02,479
Speaker 3: they're looking for now, ude, because there's not really a

1945
01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:06,000
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson out there unless you're gonna hire Davis Webb

1946
01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:08,280
Speaker 3: at like thirty two to be your head coach. The

1947
01:27:08,280 --> 01:27:12,439
Speaker 3: Broncos offensive coordinator are I guess he's not truly the OC,

1948
01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:15,160
Speaker 3: But you know, because Sean Payton calls plays. But I

1949
01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:17,000
Speaker 3: just I feel like you're gonna be I think McDaniel's

1950
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:20,920
Speaker 3: gonna get another job, vance Joseph's gonna get another job,

1951
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:23,719
Speaker 3: and he got fired at Denver. Is the Broncos DC now,

1952
01:27:24,040 --> 01:27:26,920
Speaker 3: But I don't know, man, It's just it seems like

1953
01:27:27,960 --> 01:27:31,160
Speaker 3: there should be and I'm I'm maybe getting a little

1954
01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:33,120
Speaker 3: cart before the horse here, Arnie. But I wish there

1955
01:27:33,479 --> 01:27:36,000
Speaker 3: these jobs were going to the Chris Shula's of the world,

1956
01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:39,639
Speaker 3: and that Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator whose name I can't pronounce.

1957
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:42,320
Speaker 3: I'd love to see those guys get jobs. I don't

1958
01:27:42,439 --> 01:27:43,320
Speaker 3: like the retruds.

1959
01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:45,559
Speaker 4: I you know, I don't care about so much.

1960
01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:47,240
Speaker 2: You want to see the young people get at the

1961
01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:50,800
Speaker 2: coordinators get it and get and get promoted. You know,

1962
01:27:50,960 --> 01:27:53,000
Speaker 2: I'm not sure which ones are gonna be good ones

1963
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:56,479
Speaker 2: and which ones are in certain criteria I look for.

1964
01:27:56,680 --> 01:27:59,080
Speaker 2: And you know, like I said, I like Tomlin, I

1965
01:27:59,160 --> 01:28:02,040
Speaker 2: like his demeanor. I'm curious to see which way Miami

1966
01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:03,879
Speaker 2: is gonna go. I really wanted them to get Harbaugh.

1967
01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:06,240
Speaker 2: When they didn't get him, I was very disappointed in that.

1968
01:28:06,479 --> 01:28:07,760
Speaker 5: Does it surprise you at all?

1969
01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:11,160
Speaker 3: Just real quick, because I was a little bit shocked

1970
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:15,479
Speaker 3: at Robert Sala's name is being promise. But is that

1971
01:28:15,560 --> 01:28:18,000
Speaker 3: just a magnification of how people kind of view the

1972
01:28:18,080 --> 01:28:20,280
Speaker 3: Jets because.

1973
01:28:19,960 --> 01:28:22,760
Speaker 5: It did not end well for him, and I mean

1974
01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:23,680
Speaker 5: it was a disaster.

1975
01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:25,040
Speaker 4: He got back some of his.

1976
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:30,360
Speaker 2: You know, creed or whatever when he went and did

1977
01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:32,400
Speaker 2: a good job up in San Francisco, right, So I

1978
01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:34,120
Speaker 2: think he got a lot of that back, though.

1979
01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:35,519
Speaker 5: I'm watching him.

1980
01:28:35,520 --> 01:28:37,640
Speaker 3: By the way, if you want to get triggered as

1981
01:28:37,680 --> 01:28:40,400
Speaker 3: a Buffalo Bills fan, you watch a couple of those

1982
01:28:40,439 --> 01:28:46,200
Speaker 3: catches in that Rams Bears game today. All right, let's

1983
01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:49,559
Speaker 3: shift to a couple of your thoughts here already, because

1984
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:52,840
Speaker 3: even though we are winding down the weeks in the

1985
01:28:52,920 --> 01:28:55,280
Speaker 3: NFL season, we still have our game we like to play,

1986
01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:57,519
Speaker 3: which is after we go ahead.

1987
01:28:57,920 --> 01:28:59,519
Speaker 2: Just one more thing I wanted you to comment on

1988
01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:01,600
Speaker 2: when you were doing the college I guess from now on,

1989
01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:03,760
Speaker 2: you don't have to go to school to be.

1990
01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:04,840
Speaker 4: A college football player.

1991
01:29:04,880 --> 01:29:08,440
Speaker 2: If we find out from Carson Beck, you can graduate

1992
01:29:08,479 --> 01:29:10,360
Speaker 2: in three years and still go to school out there.

1993
01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:13,160
Speaker 2: So it's wide open. So who you guys can recruit.

1994
01:29:13,200 --> 01:29:14,479
Speaker 2: They don't have to go to school anymore.

1995
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:17,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's kind of been one of the most misreported things. Ever.

1996
01:29:17,520 --> 01:29:19,920
Speaker 3: He's still going to classes, I mean, but he's done.

1997
01:29:20,080 --> 01:29:22,519
Speaker 3: I mean didn't he didn't roll in the spring semester

1998
01:29:22,680 --> 01:29:25,640
Speaker 3: because he's done with college. I mean he got i

1999
01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:27,920
Speaker 3: think two graduate degrees. So when he's like, I'm going

2000
01:29:27,960 --> 01:29:30,400
Speaker 3: to squad, he hasn't been an undergrad in two years.

2001
01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 3: He's been taking grad school. So it was a little

2002
01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:36,840
Speaker 3: bit I don't know if it was like over the top,

2003
01:29:37,280 --> 01:29:40,439
Speaker 3: but this idea that kids still put their backpacks around

2004
01:29:40,439 --> 01:29:42,799
Speaker 3: their shoulders and go to class every single day.

2005
01:29:42,720 --> 01:29:46,519
Speaker 5: Is it's just not reality. It's out there. It's out there.

2006
01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:48,760
Speaker 5: I mean, my son does it. My son does it.

2007
01:29:48,760 --> 01:29:51,320
Speaker 3: It was point and there's certain but most of your

2008
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:53,679
Speaker 3: classes are online and you barely go to a class

2009
01:29:53,720 --> 01:29:55,000
Speaker 3: anymore if you don't.

2010
01:29:54,880 --> 01:29:57,519
Speaker 2: Want to, even so you don't meet at the student

2011
01:29:57,640 --> 01:29:59,000
Speaker 2: union and meet.

2012
01:29:58,920 --> 01:30:02,840
Speaker 4: Up with friends and all that the reality anymore. And wait, wait,

2013
01:30:02,880 --> 01:30:05,080
Speaker 4: you don't play hockey sack on the main quad.

2014
01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:07,439
Speaker 3: I think you still see that now, but probably not

2015
01:30:07,439 --> 01:30:09,479
Speaker 3: from Carson because he's like twenty eight years old.

2016
01:30:09,520 --> 01:30:11,840
Speaker 5: It's time for him to go get a job, all right.

2017
01:30:12,040 --> 01:30:12,280
Speaker 5: Let me.

2018
01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:15,280
Speaker 3: Let me get your thoughts all right after the divisional

2019
01:30:15,400 --> 01:30:18,120
Speaker 3: round of the playoffs, Arnie, I know this. You want

2020
01:30:18,120 --> 01:30:19,600
Speaker 3: to start somewhere on this. You want to throw a

2021
01:30:19,640 --> 01:30:21,160
Speaker 3: couple of hot takes out there.

2022
01:30:21,160 --> 01:30:23,599
Speaker 2: Where's your feelers, I'll give you after the division round

2023
01:30:23,640 --> 01:30:24,200
Speaker 2: of the playoffs.

2024
01:30:24,240 --> 01:30:24,800
Speaker 5: I know this.

2025
01:30:25,040 --> 01:30:29,080
Speaker 2: I don't find the AFC and the NFC Championship intriguing

2026
01:30:29,200 --> 01:30:29,679
Speaker 2: at all.

2027
01:30:29,960 --> 01:30:30,640
Speaker 4: I mean, first of.

2028
01:30:30,640 --> 01:30:33,800
Speaker 2: All, yes, you have a backup quarterback with the Denver Broncos.

2029
01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:37,439
Speaker 2: Now you have a Patriots team who, my goodness, the

2030
01:30:37,479 --> 01:30:39,559
Speaker 2: most famous guy on the team as the head coach,

2031
01:30:40,320 --> 01:30:43,000
Speaker 2: and the other one you got the Rams in Seattle

2032
01:30:43,080 --> 01:30:45,840
Speaker 2: meeting for the eighth time this year. I just I

2033
01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:48,640
Speaker 2: just got feeling the love and the you know, the

2034
01:30:48,680 --> 01:30:52,920
Speaker 2: good you know banter into the AFC and the NFC Championship.

2035
01:30:53,160 --> 01:30:56,000
Speaker 2: I mean, the lines are closed, so they're both expected

2036
01:30:56,040 --> 01:30:58,439
Speaker 2: to be close games. But I just felt this whole

2037
01:30:58,560 --> 01:31:01,879
Speaker 2: year was just a bad year, like a C minus

2038
01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:04,679
Speaker 2: for the whole entire year in the NFL, And I'm

2039
01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:07,520
Speaker 2: not feeling it for the AFC and NFC Championship games.

2040
01:31:07,479 --> 01:31:11,160
Speaker 3: Seize to a degree, I understand, I get it. There's

2041
01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:14,679
Speaker 3: not a splash matchup here. But we're also a year

2042
01:31:14,680 --> 01:31:17,479
Speaker 3: removed from people being tired of the Chiefs and Patrick

2043
01:31:17,479 --> 01:31:20,880
Speaker 3: Mahomes and it's like, oh my god, and now all

2044
01:31:20,920 --> 01:31:23,600
Speaker 3: of a sudden you get two completely different teams and

2045
01:31:23,600 --> 01:31:24,719
Speaker 3: it's like, wow, this sucks.

2046
01:31:25,200 --> 01:31:25,360
Speaker 4: You know.

2047
01:31:25,360 --> 01:31:27,439
Speaker 3: It's like and again, I'm not like trying to pick

2048
01:31:27,479 --> 01:31:30,280
Speaker 3: a fight, but you were, you were amongst the group

2049
01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:33,599
Speaker 3: of people, well, not necessarily you you're a blue blood believer.

2050
01:31:33,800 --> 01:31:38,080
Speaker 3: You're you're happy if it's Michigan, Ohio, State, USC, Oklahoma,

2051
01:31:38,240 --> 01:31:40,479
Speaker 3: all the blue bloods every single year. You're happy with that.

2052
01:31:41,080 --> 01:31:43,600
Speaker 3: But you'll also fight. It's like, well, everyone's got to

2053
01:31:43,640 --> 01:31:45,920
Speaker 3: have a seat at the table. Well, when those teams

2054
01:31:45,960 --> 01:31:48,360
Speaker 3: make a run like Cincinnati did a couple of years ago,

2055
01:31:48,560 --> 01:31:51,479
Speaker 3: and you know, like you've seen it. I guess Indiana

2056
01:31:51,479 --> 01:31:53,320
Speaker 3: here this year, then you're grinch and moan about well,

2057
01:31:53,400 --> 01:31:55,080
Speaker 3: I don't know these teams, so I don't care about

2058
01:31:55,120 --> 01:31:55,839
Speaker 3: college football.

2059
01:31:55,840 --> 01:31:57,240
Speaker 5: The players are moving around too much.

2060
01:31:57,360 --> 01:31:58,880
Speaker 2: You have to give me at least a team, like

2061
01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:00,760
Speaker 2: you have to give me the photoph Eagles say, I

2062
01:32:00,760 --> 01:32:03,439
Speaker 2: could hate them and and their fans out there. You

2063
01:32:03,479 --> 01:32:06,040
Speaker 2: gotta gotta give me somebody like that, so I could,

2064
01:32:06,200 --> 01:32:10,120
Speaker 2: you know, even San Francisco, you know, somebody was like, oh,

2065
01:32:10,160 --> 01:32:12,439
Speaker 2: you know, they're not gonna do it. Give me somebody

2066
01:32:12,479 --> 01:32:15,479
Speaker 2: that we could all rally against. It wasn't a lot

2067
01:32:15,520 --> 01:32:18,240
Speaker 2: of teams like that. I really wish Buffalo would have

2068
01:32:18,280 --> 01:32:19,800
Speaker 2: won base that. I think everybody would have jumped on

2069
01:32:19,840 --> 01:32:20,640
Speaker 2: their bandwagon.

2070
01:32:20,840 --> 01:32:23,360
Speaker 3: I think I think Buffalo would have been that great

2071
01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:26,400
Speaker 3: root for. But then at the same time, can't stand right.

2072
01:32:26,400 --> 01:32:30,280
Speaker 3: There'd be that faction that would be totally against them.

2073
01:32:30,560 --> 01:32:33,720
Speaker 3: I'll add something a little bit different here. After the

2074
01:32:33,800 --> 01:32:37,320
Speaker 3: divisional round of the playoffs. I know this now. My

2075
01:32:37,439 --> 01:32:41,720
Speaker 3: man only caught six balls today, make it four. I'm

2076
01:32:41,720 --> 01:32:44,000
Speaker 3: sorry he was targeted six times for forty yards, but

2077
01:32:44,040 --> 01:32:44,960
Speaker 3: he did have a touchdown.

2078
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:45,920
Speaker 5: It was a hell of a catch.

2079
01:32:46,439 --> 01:32:49,679
Speaker 3: Now, we spend so much time talking about quarterbacks, but Arnie,

2080
01:32:49,720 --> 01:32:52,880
Speaker 3: is it fair to say one of the true cool

2081
01:32:52,960 --> 01:32:55,719
Speaker 3: stories of these playoffs is a guy like Stefan Diggs.

2082
01:32:56,200 --> 01:32:59,240
Speaker 3: I know he is very unlikable. I know he is.

2083
01:32:59,520 --> 01:33:01,800
Speaker 3: He is a that not a lot of people cared

2084
01:33:01,800 --> 01:33:04,479
Speaker 3: too terribly much for. But here's a dude who's on

2085
01:33:04,560 --> 01:33:07,479
Speaker 3: his third team in the last three years and had

2086
01:33:07,520 --> 01:33:10,200
Speaker 3: just four hundred and ninety six yards receiving last year,

2087
01:33:10,720 --> 01:33:13,679
Speaker 3: but in his first season with the New England Patriots,

2088
01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:19,600
Speaker 3: he finishes with his seventh thousand yard receiving season. He

2089
01:33:19,680 --> 01:33:23,679
Speaker 3: averaged twelve yards per catch on the season and really

2090
01:33:23,760 --> 01:33:25,960
Speaker 3: became I mean, I know he had a couple of

2091
01:33:25,960 --> 01:33:29,759
Speaker 3: illegal issues, but became like a leader for this team.

2092
01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:32,479
Speaker 3: I mean, I I don't know, man. I know we

2093
01:33:32,520 --> 01:33:35,160
Speaker 3: get caught up only in the quarterbacks, but I kind

2094
01:33:35,160 --> 01:33:37,280
Speaker 3: of feel like what you're seeing in Stefan Diggs is

2095
01:33:37,280 --> 01:33:39,680
Speaker 3: a pretty damn good story for a guy that was

2096
01:33:39,760 --> 01:33:42,240
Speaker 3: supposed to be the savior in Buffalo, right and be

2097
01:33:42,360 --> 01:33:45,679
Speaker 3: that primetime target. Then it kind of turned after twenty

2098
01:33:45,760 --> 01:33:47,800
Speaker 3: twenty three, he went to Houston and it was just

2099
01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:52,000
Speaker 3: it didn't work. I mean, I think he got dinged up, right,

2100
01:33:52,040 --> 01:33:54,120
Speaker 3: he wasn't healthy, and he just didn't mesh. Now, all

2101
01:33:54,160 --> 01:33:56,360
Speaker 3: of a sudden, he goes to New England and he's

2102
01:33:56,360 --> 01:34:00,120
Speaker 3: out there making the plays to eliminate the Texans in

2103
01:34:00,160 --> 01:34:02,479
Speaker 3: the playoffs. I know it might be a little bit

2104
01:34:02,600 --> 01:34:04,240
Speaker 3: too deep of a cut, but I kind of feel

2105
01:34:04,240 --> 01:34:05,840
Speaker 3: like the Stefan Diggs story is a hell of a

2106
01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:07,080
Speaker 3: story this year for New England.

2107
01:34:07,160 --> 01:34:08,280
Speaker 4: No, you're one hundred percent right.

2108
01:34:08,320 --> 01:34:10,600
Speaker 2: Think about this though, I mean, other than Rob Gronkowski

2109
01:34:10,640 --> 01:34:13,360
Speaker 2: dise he's a tight end. Who were the best receivers

2110
01:34:13,360 --> 01:34:15,400
Speaker 2: that Tom Brady threw too? I don't think it was

2111
01:34:15,400 --> 01:34:18,240
Speaker 2: as good as stuff on Diggs. I can't really remember

2112
01:34:18,280 --> 01:34:22,280
Speaker 2: too many great wide receivers that Brady would have on

2113
01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:22,800
Speaker 2: his team.

2114
01:34:22,880 --> 01:34:23,400
Speaker 5: You know, well, he.

2115
01:34:23,680 --> 01:34:26,719
Speaker 3: Had the what they always say is the washed version

2116
01:34:26,800 --> 01:34:29,240
Speaker 3: of Randy Moss, which ended up being the best version

2117
01:34:29,280 --> 01:34:32,080
Speaker 3: of him. Yeah, yeah, you know, you had all the

2118
01:34:32,160 --> 01:34:34,400
Speaker 3: dudes that have gotten into media now right that were

2119
01:34:34,400 --> 01:34:38,000
Speaker 3: his wide receivers. Hey, Tom Brady, we can make fun

2120
01:34:38,040 --> 01:34:42,160
Speaker 3: of coaches not getting like good head coaches off their

2121
01:34:42,200 --> 01:34:45,720
Speaker 3: coaching tree. The Tom Brady receiving tree has set up

2122
01:34:45,720 --> 01:34:47,720
Speaker 3: one hell of a media empire right now.

2123
01:34:47,800 --> 01:34:48,000
Speaker 5: Dude.

2124
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:51,120
Speaker 3: These guys are doing podcasts and commercials everywhere. So I

2125
01:34:51,160 --> 01:34:53,000
Speaker 3: hear what you're saying. But I think Stefan Diggs is

2126
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:54,600
Speaker 3: a hell of a story. And I'll tell you what

2127
01:34:55,760 --> 01:34:58,120
Speaker 3: I mean. I'm not trying to hog attorney here, Arnie,

2128
01:34:58,400 --> 01:35:00,960
Speaker 3: but I do think after the divisional round, I do

2129
01:35:01,040 --> 01:35:03,080
Speaker 3: know this, I do think the Bears are set up

2130
01:35:03,120 --> 01:35:05,800
Speaker 3: for more sustainable success than maybe any team that got

2131
01:35:05,880 --> 01:35:06,960
Speaker 3: knocked out this weekend.

2132
01:35:07,200 --> 01:35:10,360
Speaker 4: Oh. I just love their future. There's no diety too.

2133
01:35:11,720 --> 01:35:14,160
Speaker 2: But they're not gonna be so lovable next year. People

2134
01:35:14,200 --> 01:35:17,679
Speaker 2: are gonna be rooting for them. So for Caleb Williams

2135
01:35:17,680 --> 01:35:18,519
Speaker 2: like they were this year.

2136
01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:19,240
Speaker 4: You know that, right?

2137
01:35:19,520 --> 01:35:23,760
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, dude, they're gonna they're gonna turn on him

2138
01:35:23,800 --> 01:35:25,400
Speaker 3: like crazy, all right, anything else you want to add,

2139
01:35:25,880 --> 01:35:26,439
Speaker 3: they're gonna be.

2140
01:35:26,560 --> 01:35:30,320
Speaker 2: They'll be public enemy number one is what they're gonna be,

2141
01:35:31,240 --> 01:35:33,719
Speaker 2: other than my Dolphins making the super Bowl next years

2142
01:35:33,720 --> 01:35:35,400
Speaker 2: that we're not doing that next job.

2143
01:35:35,360 --> 01:35:37,160
Speaker 3: Now yet, Now, you got you plenty of time to

2144
01:35:37,160 --> 01:35:38,800
Speaker 3: get to this. Can I can I throw one more

2145
01:35:38,800 --> 01:35:40,120
Speaker 3: out there? Yeah, go ahead ahead.

2146
01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:41,719
Speaker 5: I'm a little bit.

2147
01:35:41,640 --> 01:35:45,080
Speaker 3: Concerned about the long term future of the Niners, and

2148
01:35:45,200 --> 01:35:48,240
Speaker 3: I get it. Listen, Niner fans. I'm just Fred Warner

2149
01:35:48,360 --> 01:35:51,400
Speaker 3: was hurt. You guys were deemed up. I'm a big rock,

2150
01:35:51,520 --> 01:35:54,720
Speaker 3: pretty believer. George Kittle got hurt, so we'll see what

2151
01:35:54,760 --> 01:35:58,160
Speaker 3: his recovery's gonna be like. But yeah, kind of worried

2152
01:35:58,160 --> 01:36:00,920
Speaker 3: a little bit, Arnie about the future of the Niners,

2153
01:36:00,920 --> 01:36:03,479
Speaker 3: and I wish my team was getting knocked out in

2154
01:36:03,560 --> 01:36:06,639
Speaker 3: the divisional round, and a Fox Sports radio host was saying,

2155
01:36:06,760 --> 01:36:08,479
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I'm worried about the future.

2156
01:36:08,520 --> 01:36:09,800
Speaker 5: I mean, at least I made it that far in

2157
01:36:09,840 --> 01:36:11,600
Speaker 5: the playoffs. But I don't know.

2158
01:36:11,680 --> 01:36:14,599
Speaker 3: I just something. They had a bad year last year.

2159
01:36:15,200 --> 01:36:18,280
Speaker 3: You got pretty healthy to a certain degree later in

2160
01:36:18,320 --> 01:36:20,719
Speaker 3: the year, and then just the injuries caught up with you.

2161
01:36:20,720 --> 01:36:23,320
Speaker 3: You're gonna lose Robert Sala, You're probably gonna lose some

2162
01:36:23,360 --> 01:36:26,080
Speaker 3: of your staff again. So Kyle Shanahan's even though you

2163
01:36:26,080 --> 01:36:29,040
Speaker 3: don't care about coordinators, I don't know. I just as

2164
01:36:29,360 --> 01:36:31,400
Speaker 3: bullish as I am on the future of the Bears.

2165
01:36:31,880 --> 01:36:33,839
Speaker 3: I'm kind of the opposite and a little bit concerned

2166
01:36:33,880 --> 01:36:34,960
Speaker 3: about the future of the Niners.

2167
01:36:35,040 --> 01:36:37,559
Speaker 2: Right. Is there ever a look on McCaffrey's race where

2168
01:36:37,800 --> 01:36:40,400
Speaker 2: he doesn't look like he's in pain, he doesn't look

2169
01:36:40,479 --> 01:36:43,880
Speaker 2: like he's been hurt. I mean, from week one to now,

2170
01:36:44,680 --> 01:36:48,599
Speaker 2: the guy comes into training camp looking like he's going

2171
01:36:48,600 --> 01:36:50,960
Speaker 2: through paid that guy gets hurt and bag that more

2172
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:52,240

2203
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:27,360

01:38:27,400 --> 01:38:28,080
Speaker 5: Back to School?

2205
01:38:28,320 --> 01:38:30,160

Speaker 5: Lead a lap. Probably even knows people.

2208
01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:36,960
Speaker 4: I'm thinking that I'm too young to remember these movies.

2209
01:38:37,640 --> 01:38:37,720
Speaker 1: Wa.

2210
01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:40,439
Speaker 2: I would have talked to you tonight. What's up man? Hey, Chris?

2211
01:38:40,760 --> 01:38:41,479
Speaker 2: Doing good, buddy?

2212
01:38:42,280 --> 01:38:44,080
Speaker 5: Yeah? So you remember Back to School?

2213
01:38:44,360 --> 01:38:44,599
Speaker 7: Yeah?

2214
01:38:44,680 --> 01:38:45,320
Speaker 5: I mean I wasn't.

2215
01:38:45,760 --> 01:38:46,320
Speaker 4: I've seen it.

2216
01:38:46,360 --> 01:38:46,560
Speaker 6: I was.

2217
01:38:46,680 --> 01:38:49,920
Speaker 5: Do you remember the dive? Yeah, of course, since it's

2218
01:38:50,080 --> 01:38:51,240
Speaker 5: Arnie's dive yet right there?

2219
01:38:51,320 --> 01:38:51,920
Speaker 4: Yeah?

2220
01:38:52,120 --> 01:38:56,120
Speaker 3: The Triple Indy that's right, okay, Mike Rights not sure

2221
01:38:56,160 --> 01:38:58,920
Speaker 3: if this has ever happened. Since the NFL extended their

2222
01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:03,800
Speaker 3: season recently, they're now bumping up against the Winter Olympics.

2223
01:39:04,120 --> 01:39:05,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, but funny.

2224
01:39:05,320 --> 01:39:08,040
Speaker 3: And weird that NBC will be stepping on their own

2225
01:39:08,120 --> 01:39:11,160
Speaker 3: toes February eighth, when the Super Bowl is on.

2226
01:39:11,280 --> 01:39:12,439
Speaker 5: But the Olympics are.

2227
01:39:12,400 --> 01:39:15,519
Speaker 4: Too does the Olympics. The opening ceremony is February eighth, Am,

2228
01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:16,200
Speaker 4: I right about that?

2229
01:39:16,360 --> 01:39:20,080
Speaker 2: So you're not really I think, don't hold me to that,

2230
01:39:20,120 --> 01:39:22,400
Speaker 2: but I think that's what it is. So you're really

2231
01:39:22,439 --> 01:39:27,080
Speaker 2: just going up against the opening ceremonies. So I wouldn't

2232
01:39:27,080 --> 01:39:28,479
Speaker 2: feel there's a lot going on.

2233
01:39:28,720 --> 01:39:32,080
Speaker 3: You know, it's com Friday, February sixth is the opening ceremonies.

2234
01:39:32,200 --> 01:39:34,719
Speaker 2: Okay, so there are games going on, so there's events

2235
01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:35,080
Speaker 2: going on.

2236
01:39:35,200 --> 01:39:37,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not gonna lie.

2237
01:39:38,400 --> 01:39:41,000
Speaker 3: I could not care less about the Winter Olympics now, Oh,

2238
01:39:41,160 --> 01:39:44,800
Speaker 3: I say, I will say this whenever we get around

2239
01:39:44,840 --> 01:39:47,200
Speaker 3: to it. I'm gonna act like an expert on things

2240
01:39:47,280 --> 01:39:50,000
Speaker 3: like Olympic hockey and I'm gonna really care about it

2241
01:39:50,080 --> 01:39:54,439
Speaker 3: downhill skiing and all those things. But Arnie, I grew

2242
01:39:54,520 --> 01:39:57,960
Speaker 3: up in the Midwest. Man, I winter Olympic events. If

2243
01:39:57,960 --> 01:40:01,200
Speaker 3: you I skated or did anything like that. Whenever I

2244
01:40:01,280 --> 01:40:02,880
Speaker 3: was a kid, it was like, dude, what are you doing?

2245
01:40:02,920 --> 01:40:04,760
Speaker 3: Why are you going to ice skating? I saw the

2246
01:40:04,800 --> 01:40:07,480
Speaker 3: ice skating trials.

2247
01:40:07,960 --> 01:40:09,920
Speaker 2: It was out a couple of weeks ago or sure,

2248
01:40:10,800 --> 01:40:13,880
Speaker 2: and the guy's favorite who they pretty much gave a

2249
01:40:13,920 --> 01:40:18,200
Speaker 2: pass to the Olympics, because he's just better than everybody else, Right,

2250
01:40:18,439 --> 01:40:22,679
Speaker 2: I forget the guys, the kid's name. When he started,

2251
01:40:22,720 --> 01:40:26,759
Speaker 2: he fell down. He just fell right down on the ice.

2252
01:40:27,120 --> 01:40:30,360
Speaker 2: Happened in the prelums. But he got a pass to

2253
01:40:30,439 --> 01:40:32,559
Speaker 2: the team anyway. But he got up and had a

2254
01:40:32,640 --> 01:40:35,960
Speaker 2: phenomenal run. He would have finished second even after falling down.

2255
01:40:36,040 --> 01:40:38,120
Speaker 2: That's how great he is. It's great, Paul.

2256
01:40:38,400 --> 01:40:42,040
Speaker 3: Right, here's how awful being a Bills fan is. The

2257
01:40:42,120 --> 01:40:45,400
Speaker 3: game yesterday isn't even in the top five of their

2258
01:40:45,439 --> 01:40:48,559
Speaker 3: most painful losses ever, might not be in the top ten.

2259
01:40:49,160 --> 01:40:52,719
Speaker 3: It's just another piece of wood to throw on the fire.

2260
01:40:52,960 --> 01:40:55,680
Speaker 2: It's true, he's right about that. There's certainly a lot

2261
01:40:55,720 --> 01:40:58,639
Speaker 2: to think about with those losses. I can't say nothing

2262
01:40:58,680 --> 01:41:00,240
Speaker 2: about that. That's for well.

2263
01:41:00,280 --> 01:41:02,240
Speaker 4: You have got the four super Bowl losses.

2264
01:41:02,360 --> 01:41:05,680
Speaker 5: You got Norwood's missed kick in the Super Bowl.

2265
01:41:07,160 --> 01:41:13,040
Speaker 2: You had gosh the fourth downs last year, music City miracle, Music.

2266
01:41:12,760 --> 01:41:17,200
Speaker 3: City miracles another one. Yeah, it's that's a good point, Paul.

2267
01:41:17,360 --> 01:41:20,080
Speaker 3: Next week, come up with the top five, because I

2268
01:41:20,080 --> 01:41:22,360
Speaker 3: think you're right, it's not even in it. And this

2269
01:41:22,600 --> 01:41:24,160
Speaker 3: was on the road too. Even though you were a

2270
01:41:24,200 --> 01:41:28,400
Speaker 3: favorite our man, the late night drug tester. The reason

2271
01:41:28,439 --> 01:41:30,880
Speaker 3: Buffalo and Houston are done guys and done for the

2272
01:41:30,960 --> 01:41:33,960
Speaker 3: year is all the turnovers by their quarterbacks.

2273
01:41:34,080 --> 01:41:34,920
Speaker 5: It's that simple.

2274
01:41:35,120 --> 01:41:35,679
Speaker 4: It is true.

2275
01:41:35,720 --> 01:41:37,519
Speaker 5: That is true protective football.

2276
01:41:38,240 --> 01:41:38,720
Speaker 4: You know, they have.

2277
01:41:38,680 --> 01:41:41,679
Speaker 2: Nobody to blame but yourself, c J. Stroud, every time

2278
01:41:41,680 --> 01:41:45,120
Speaker 2: he touched the ball. You know, even Drake may fumbled

2279
01:41:45,160 --> 01:41:48,120
Speaker 2: so much, but the Patriots got back on three.

2280
01:41:47,880 --> 01:41:52,200
Speaker 4: Of his fumbles or three of their fumbles. They got lucky,

2281
01:41:52,240 --> 01:41:52,479
Speaker 4: you know.

2282
01:41:52,680 --> 01:41:56,680
Speaker 5: The real lucky Mustang Mania rights.

2283
01:41:57,200 --> 01:41:59,800
Speaker 3: They did have a replay that showed the tight end

2284
01:41:59,880 --> 01:42:03,120
Speaker 3: in the Bears game pushing off on that poor defensive back.

2285
01:42:03,520 --> 01:42:06,639
Speaker 3: And Caleb Williams even said in his post game comments

2286
01:42:06,960 --> 01:42:09,120
Speaker 3: that he knew the dB was tiny and the the

2287
01:42:09,240 --> 01:42:13,080
Speaker 3: Titan could get him off of him. Offensive pass interference

2288
01:42:13,160 --> 01:42:13,880
Speaker 3: by a mile.

2289
01:42:14,000 --> 01:42:16,439
Speaker 2: How many calls do you think if I was to say,

2290
01:42:17,320 --> 01:42:20,080
Speaker 2: let's say the last decade, but our twenty years, twenty

2291
01:42:20,120 --> 01:42:23,320
Speaker 2: five years, how many off side calls are there? Pass

2292
01:42:23,400 --> 01:42:28,120
Speaker 2: interference holding? I bet you the least about a cause

2293
01:42:28,160 --> 01:42:29,960
Speaker 2: have been offensive pass interference.

2294
01:42:30,240 --> 01:42:32,439
Speaker 4: You think, oh, by far.

2295
01:42:32,800 --> 01:42:36,599
Speaker 3: M'd be right, might be right? Our man Joe Judges Berner,

2296
01:42:37,040 --> 01:42:40,000
Speaker 3: whom I like so much he earned to follow from

2297
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:40,639
Speaker 3: me this week.

2298
01:42:40,680 --> 01:42:42,280
Speaker 5: Look at you, he writes, you.

2299
01:42:42,200 --> 01:42:45,280
Speaker 3: Can't run gab you can't run gambling ads every TV

2300
01:42:45,400 --> 01:42:49,240
Speaker 3: timeout during a game that a head referee fixed. Carl

2301
01:42:49,320 --> 01:42:53,800
Speaker 3: Sheffer's has been involved in more controversial calls than any

2302
01:42:53,880 --> 01:42:57,920
Speaker 3: other referee in the last ten years. Just to sheer coincidence,

2303
01:42:58,120 --> 01:43:01,080
Speaker 3: his is always at the center of something. The NFL

2304
01:43:01,200 --> 01:43:05,080
Speaker 3: has zero integrity. Now, Joe Judges Burner, you name names.

2305
01:43:05,160 --> 01:43:05,600
Speaker 5: I did not.

2306
01:43:05,840 --> 01:43:09,000
Speaker 3: I just was reading your tweet, but it kind of

2307
01:43:09,080 --> 01:43:11,840
Speaker 3: hits on what you said Ernie earlier. Arnie, you're not

2308
01:43:11,880 --> 01:43:14,959
Speaker 3: a real big fan of the way things are being called.

2309
01:43:14,800 --> 01:43:17,599
Speaker 2: Right now, right right, And you know you do wonder,

2310
01:43:17,880 --> 01:43:22,080
Speaker 2: oh not. Fans certainly do wonder if there's something higher

2311
01:43:22,160 --> 01:43:24,760
Speaker 2: or bigger going on. I don't believe that. I just

2312
01:43:24,800 --> 01:43:26,680
Speaker 2: think they're bad at their job, and that's why you

2313
01:43:26,680 --> 01:43:28,240
Speaker 2: have so many bad calls out there.

2314
01:43:28,400 --> 01:43:30,160
Speaker 5: Two more and then we'll get to segerin here for

2315
01:43:30,240 --> 01:43:31,080
Speaker 5: his final update.

2316
01:43:31,360 --> 01:43:33,799
Speaker 2: By the way, buddy, he did say this a tweet earlier.

2317
01:43:33,840 --> 01:43:36,160
Speaker 2: You might have missed it, saying the reason we don't

2318
01:43:36,160 --> 01:43:40,679
Speaker 2: have good referees' is because it's so difficult to become

2319
01:43:40,680 --> 01:43:43,120
Speaker 2: a referee. You really have to go through what like

2320
01:43:43,240 --> 01:43:46,679
Speaker 2: ten fifteen years before you can get into the NFL.

2321
01:43:47,520 --> 01:43:49,880
Speaker 2: And that's just not you know, nobody wants to go

2322
01:43:49,880 --> 01:43:50,840
Speaker 2: ahead and do something like that.

2323
01:43:50,880 --> 01:43:52,160
Speaker 4: They just don't want to work that hard.

2324
01:43:52,200 --> 01:43:55,120
Speaker 3: You don't want to what's the best way to put it,

2325
01:43:55,880 --> 01:43:59,799
Speaker 3: You don't want to diminish the field of potential officials

2326
01:43:59,800 --> 01:44:02,599
Speaker 3: by just rushing guys through because they look the part,

2327
01:44:02,720 --> 01:44:05,000
Speaker 3: or they might be in good shape. But then you

2328
01:44:05,040 --> 01:44:07,960
Speaker 3: also don't want to drag it out because you're like, well,

2329
01:44:08,040 --> 01:44:10,320
Speaker 3: he's not experienced enough, right, It's like, well he's got

2330
01:44:10,320 --> 01:44:12,040
Speaker 3: to work fifty more college games.

2331
01:44:12,240 --> 01:44:12,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

2332
01:44:12,439 --> 01:44:13,920
Speaker 3: I DoD of feel like if you know, you know,

2333
01:44:14,160 --> 01:44:18,080
Speaker 3: but you know, they're making a lot of money. NFL

2334
01:44:18,120 --> 01:44:20,920
Speaker 3: doesn't seem too concerned about it. I think there should

2335
01:44:20,920 --> 01:44:23,559
Speaker 3: be full time officials. That's always been my big gripe.

2336
01:44:23,720 --> 01:44:27,000
Speaker 3: All right, John there might be there might be below

2337
01:44:27,120 --> 01:44:29,679
Speaker 3: zero wind chills outside here in the Land of Cheese,

2338
01:44:30,080 --> 01:44:32,639
Speaker 3: but I am warm and fuzzy knowing the long national

2339
01:44:32,720 --> 01:44:35,599
Speaker 3: nightmare called the Bears season is finally over. So much

2340
01:44:35,640 --> 01:44:40,040
Speaker 3: should also remind Ben Johnson Karma is a thickle mistress.

2341
01:44:40,160 --> 01:44:43,920
Speaker 2: Oh, people are really upset with him with the blank

2342
01:44:43,960 --> 01:44:46,640
Speaker 2: Green Bay or black the blank the Packers after that.

2343
01:44:46,720 --> 01:44:49,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that was a little too much.

2344
01:44:49,320 --> 01:44:50,679
Speaker 4: To be honest with you, that was too much.

2345
01:44:50,800 --> 01:44:52,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, a little bit carried away, But you know, I

2346
01:44:52,800 --> 01:44:57,880
Speaker 5: like it. I'm not complaining about it. Vincent. Just to

2347
01:44:57,920 --> 01:44:59,800
Speaker 5: think of the Bears, Oh, go ahead.

2348
01:44:59,640 --> 01:45:02,479
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Sorry, Vincent Arnady just has to get his

2349
01:45:02,520 --> 01:45:04,120
Speaker 2: takeout before I actually read your tweet.

2350
01:45:04,160 --> 01:45:08,840
Speaker 4: He's the one that did the handshake with after the win.

2351
01:45:09,040 --> 01:45:11,879
Speaker 4: I forget with who you know that half ass handshake?

2352
01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:13,960
Speaker 2: You know what I'm talking about with the Packers coach

2353
01:45:14,000 --> 01:45:17,639
Speaker 2: mattlin Clair. I, I'm sorry. If he would have done

2354
01:45:17,640 --> 01:45:20,439
Speaker 2: that with me, there might have been a problem, all right,

2355
01:45:20,479 --> 01:45:23,800
Speaker 2: if you've disrespected me like that. I couldn't tell you that.

2356
01:45:23,800 --> 01:45:25,680
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have thrown a punch or two if I

2357
01:45:25,680 --> 01:45:27,280
Speaker 2: had a chance. If he wasn't running away with me,

2358
01:45:27,320 --> 01:45:29,200
Speaker 2: I might have to track him down if you pulled

2359
01:45:29,200 --> 01:45:29,880
Speaker 2: that crap with me.

2360
01:45:31,160 --> 01:45:34,240
Speaker 3: Vincent, Just think if the Bears take the field goal

2361
01:45:34,240 --> 01:45:36,880
Speaker 3: instead of going forward on fourth down on the first drive,

2362
01:45:37,240 --> 01:45:39,519
Speaker 3: then Caleb Williams throw in the fourth quarter would have

2363
01:45:39,560 --> 01:45:41,360
Speaker 3: been the game winner and it would have gone down

2364
01:45:41,400 --> 01:45:43,759
Speaker 3: as one of the greatest plays in history. But instead

2365
01:45:44,560 --> 01:45:49,960
Speaker 3: DJ board quits in overtime and gives the interception to

2366
01:45:51,240 --> 01:45:52,799
Speaker 3: the to the Rams.

2367
01:45:53,000 --> 01:45:55,720
Speaker 2: I saw t o Terrell Owens tweet out after that

2368
01:45:56,240 --> 01:45:58,960
Speaker 2: that it wasn't his fault, that was the receiver's fault.

2369
01:45:59,439 --> 01:46:02,200
Speaker 4: That wasn't the Williams fault. The receiver's faulted. He's like,

2370
01:46:02,240 --> 01:46:04,000
Speaker 4: what was that guy thinking and what was he doing?

2371
01:46:04,240 --> 01:46:07,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly that's it. And and by the way,

2372
01:46:07,640 --> 01:46:10,000
Speaker 3: who was who was on the call? I've got all

2373
01:46:10,080 --> 01:46:11,520
Speaker 3: my games confused?

2374
01:46:11,880 --> 01:46:15,679
Speaker 5: Who was it? Who was it? No?

2375
01:46:15,680 --> 01:46:17,920
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no. The broadcaster that was on the call?

2376
01:46:19,160 --> 01:46:21,560
Speaker 3: Which which which network was that for that game? Was

2377
01:46:21,600 --> 01:46:24,160
Speaker 3: that Brady on the Bears game?

2378
01:46:26,200 --> 01:46:26,519
Speaker 5: NBC?

2379
01:46:26,560 --> 01:46:29,360
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yo, So it was collins was Collinsworth was

2380
01:46:29,400 --> 01:46:33,040
Speaker 3: all over it immediately, Treco and Collinsworth, Yeah, Collinsworth was

2381
01:46:33,080 --> 01:46:35,160
Speaker 3: whoever was the analyst on that game was all over

2382
01:46:35,200 --> 01:46:38,240
Speaker 3: it immediately. And it was like, dude, DJ Moore, he's

2383
01:46:38,280 --> 01:46:39,960
Speaker 3: got to run that route. He gave up on the

2384
01:46:40,040 --> 01:46:42,840
Speaker 3: route and I didn't. And in fact, I was kind

2385
01:46:42,840 --> 01:46:45,839
Speaker 3: of surprised because sometimes they're a little bit tougher on Caleb.

2386
01:46:46,360 --> 01:46:48,479
Speaker 5: But yeah, that that seemed to be on DJ Moore

2387
01:46:48,479 --> 01:46:48,800
Speaker 5: big time.

2388
01:46:48,800 --> 01:46:51,920
Speaker 2: How many interceptions you think are actually the quarterback's fault?

2389
01:46:52,240 --> 01:46:54,720
Speaker 2: You know that doesn't go off for receivers hands or

2390
01:46:55,080 --> 01:46:58,400
Speaker 2: you know, it doesn't get deflected of somebody that gets

2391
01:46:58,439 --> 01:47:02,160
Speaker 2: picked off easily, you know, something like that. What the

2392
01:47:02,479 --> 01:47:06,960
Speaker 2: interceptions or what I would I would guess, I would

2393
01:47:06,960 --> 01:47:09,200
Speaker 2: guess it's it's a lot higher than fans realized.

2394
01:47:09,240 --> 01:47:12,880
Speaker 3: And quarterbacks the most part, Yeah, yeah, sorry, The quarterbacks

2395
01:47:12,880 --> 01:47:14,879
Speaker 3: for the most part aren't going to throw the receivers

2396
01:47:14,920 --> 01:47:16,600
Speaker 3: under the bus. You know, they're going to try to

2397
01:47:16,600 --> 01:47:19,439
Speaker 3: defend them, all right, Steve de Sagers here one final time,

2398
01:47:19,479 --> 01:47:20,280
Speaker 3: got more of your tweets.

2399
01:47:20,320 --> 01:47:22,000
Speaker 5: Got Arnie's picks coming up here in just a bit.

2400
01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:24,120
Speaker 7: But Steve, what you got, Well, the best example of

2401
01:47:24,160 --> 01:47:27,439
Speaker 7: a quarterback not throwing the receiver under the bus Neil

2402
01:47:27,439 --> 01:47:29,960
Speaker 7: O'Donnell losing the Super Bowl to the Cowboys in the

2403
01:47:29,960 --> 01:47:33,519
Speaker 7: mid nineties. Larry Brown was Super Bowl MVP because there

2404
01:47:33,520 --> 01:47:36,519
Speaker 7: were some miscommunication with the receiver and he got the

2405
01:47:36,520 --> 01:47:40,320
Speaker 7: picks you mentioned. The Olympic opening ceremonies is a Friday,

2406
01:47:40,520 --> 01:47:44,759
Speaker 7: February sixth, NBC says Mike Tarico is going to quote

2407
01:47:44,920 --> 01:47:49,439
Speaker 7: contribute to the opening ceremony coverage from northern California because

2408
01:47:49,479 --> 01:47:51,759
Speaker 7: two days later is the Super Bowl at the forty

2409
01:47:51,840 --> 01:47:54,559
Speaker 7: nine Ers Stadium, and then he's flying to Italy. Four

2410
01:47:54,640 --> 01:47:57,120
Speaker 7: years ago, of course, the network had both Super Bowl

2411
01:47:57,479 --> 01:47:59,679
Speaker 7: on This is on purpose, by the way, super Bowl

2412
01:47:59,720 --> 01:48:03,280
Speaker 7: and Winter Olympics at the same time, and Tariko.

2413
01:48:03,040 --> 01:48:05,799
Speaker 5: Was in both Beijing and in La when the Rams.

2414
01:48:06,000 --> 01:48:07,840
Speaker 4: I don't think the hockey is ready yet.

2415
01:48:07,880 --> 01:48:11,400
Speaker 7: I don't think they have had a test and apparently

2416
01:48:11,520 --> 01:48:14,439
Speaker 7: the last time they had a test, the pros felt

2417
01:48:14,479 --> 01:48:17,120
Speaker 7: a little better about it than they did prior. But

2418
01:48:17,160 --> 01:48:19,439
Speaker 7: of course NHL guys had not played in the last

2419
01:48:19,439 --> 01:48:23,040
Speaker 7: couple of Olympics, and this is you know, Milan and

2420
01:48:23,360 --> 01:48:24,480
Speaker 7: well Cortina.

2421
01:48:24,120 --> 01:48:26,880
Speaker 5: Up in the mountains. But this is not like some

2422
01:48:26,920 --> 01:48:27,280
Speaker 5: of the.

2423
01:48:27,280 --> 01:48:31,920
Speaker 7: Traditional European hockey places that would be hosting such a thing.

2424
01:48:32,000 --> 01:48:35,280
Speaker 7: So you're right it was briefly a concern. I'm not

2425
01:48:35,320 --> 01:48:37,760
Speaker 7: saying the concern is completely over, but they had had

2426
01:48:37,880 --> 01:48:40,800
Speaker 7: had a test run on the Olympic ice, so we're

2427
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:43,920
Speaker 7: not that far from February and the actual NHL players

2428
01:48:43,920 --> 01:48:46,720
Speaker 7: playing for their respective countries. We're not that far from

2429
01:48:46,760 --> 01:48:50,400
Speaker 7: college football's national title game. It's Monday night, Indiana at Miami.

2430
01:48:51,160 --> 01:48:54,280
Speaker 7: Do you remember long long ago the day Ohio State

2431
01:48:54,360 --> 01:48:58,679
Speaker 7: killed Michigan. Yes, that was just ending the regular season.

2432
01:48:58,720 --> 01:49:01,439
Speaker 7: We're finally going to end the Sea season tomorrow night.

2433
01:49:01,479 --> 01:49:04,840
Speaker 7: By the way, that same day, twelfth ranked Miami was

2434
01:49:04,880 --> 01:49:07,960
Speaker 7: playing at a ranked pit team. Hurricanes were up ten

2435
01:49:08,000 --> 01:49:10,400
Speaker 7: to seven late first half, beat him thirty eight seven.

2436
01:49:10,479 --> 01:49:13,040
Speaker 7: But did Miami play the next weekend? No, Sir, Duke

2437
01:49:13,160 --> 01:49:16,760
Speaker 7: won the ACC title in overtime against Virginia. That was

2438
01:49:16,800 --> 01:49:20,400
Speaker 7: the same night that Indiana won its battle of twelve

2439
01:49:20,400 --> 01:49:23,840
Speaker 7: and zero teams, beating Ohio State thirteen to ten. And

2440
01:49:23,880 --> 01:49:26,320
Speaker 7: I have to say this again out loud. Indiana had

2441
01:49:26,360 --> 01:49:30,400
Speaker 7: lost head to head to Ohio State thirty straight times. Wow,

2442
01:49:30,439 --> 01:49:34,799
Speaker 7: since a tie in nineteen ninety. The Hoosiers had never

2443
01:49:34,920 --> 01:49:39,799
Speaker 7: been ranked number one in football until here late this season.

2444
01:49:40,400 --> 01:49:42,960
Speaker 7: And then they wind up beating a top five Oregon

2445
01:49:43,040 --> 01:49:47,000
Speaker 7: team twice, once at Oregon and then fifty six twenty

2446
01:49:47,040 --> 01:49:50,479
Speaker 7: two in the semifinal. When the Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza

2447
01:49:50,520 --> 01:49:53,680
Speaker 7: had five touchdown passes, Hoosiers were up forty two to

2448
01:49:53,680 --> 01:49:55,600
Speaker 7: seven in the third quarter, of that game. So the

2449
01:49:55,680 --> 01:50:01,200
Speaker 7: season does end tomorrow night. NFL's conference final. Our next Sunday,

2450
01:50:01,560 --> 01:50:04,160
Speaker 7: New England at Denver next week for the AFC Crown.

2451
01:50:04,240 --> 01:50:08,040
Speaker 7: New England eliminated Houston today twenty eight sixteen. Drake May

2452
01:50:08,120 --> 01:50:12,160
Speaker 7: three touchdown passes, three turnovers, sacked five times by the

2453
01:50:12,160 --> 01:50:15,840
Speaker 7: best defense in the AFC, the Rams. Tonight in overtime

2454
01:50:15,880 --> 01:50:18,519
Speaker 7: one at Chicago with snow on the ground, twenty to

2455
01:50:18,600 --> 01:50:21,799
Speaker 7: seventeen on a forty two yard field goal. Kyron Williams

2456
01:50:21,840 --> 01:50:25,599
Speaker 7: of LA two touchdown runs one hundred and seventeen total yards.

2457
01:50:25,960 --> 01:50:30,800
Speaker 7: Caleb Williams from USC two touchdown passes, three interceptions against.

2458
01:50:30,680 --> 01:50:32,320
Speaker 5: LA one in the overtime.

2459
01:50:32,640 --> 01:50:35,519
Speaker 7: Now, he did have five carries forty yards rushing and

2460
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:39,160
Speaker 7: that incredible tying touchdown pass on a fourth down late,

2461
01:50:39,520 --> 01:50:42,280
Speaker 7: but we can't forget that with about three minutes left

2462
01:50:42,280 --> 01:50:43,880
Speaker 7: in regulation, the Bear's.

2463
01:50:43,520 --> 01:50:46,280
Speaker 5: Got no points on a goal to go situation.

2464
01:50:46,479 --> 01:50:48,720
Speaker 2: I cut that defensive back before they even kicked the

2465
01:50:48,760 --> 01:50:49,439
Speaker 2: extra point.

2466
01:50:49,800 --> 01:50:52,680
Speaker 4: I go, you're OUDI here, get OUDI here, the.

2467
01:50:52,680 --> 01:50:55,000
Speaker 2: One that let the touchdown in that got caught for

2468
01:50:55,040 --> 01:50:55,599
Speaker 2: the touchdown.

2469
01:50:55,920 --> 01:50:57,639
Speaker 5: Are we talking about the push off again?

2470
01:50:58,160 --> 01:50:59,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, the one was late in regulation.

2471
01:51:00,080 --> 01:51:02,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, we haven't seen it. Sorry, I don't mean

2472
01:51:02,880 --> 01:51:05,200
Speaker 7: to say it was a pushow. Sorry, I apologize. The

2473
01:51:05,200 --> 01:51:07,960
Speaker 7: reps are great. Tight End Colston Loveland of the Bears

2474
01:51:08,040 --> 01:51:11,240
Speaker 7: was targeted ten times in this game, four catches fifty

2475
01:51:11,240 --> 01:51:15,200
Speaker 7: six yards. Previous game he was targeted fifteen times. He

2476
01:51:15,280 --> 01:51:17,719
Speaker 7: had been the first rookie tight end since the merger

2477
01:51:17,840 --> 01:51:21,719
Speaker 7: nineteen seventy to have in three straight games ninety plus yards,

2478
01:51:21,760 --> 01:51:24,720
Speaker 7: receiving fifty six tonight. Apparently at one point he was

2479
01:51:24,760 --> 01:51:27,680
Speaker 7: evaluated for a concussion. Roma Dunze did play. He'd been

2480
01:51:27,760 --> 01:51:31,240
Speaker 7: questionable with a foot injury for Chicago. Targeted six times,

2481
01:51:31,680 --> 01:51:34,719
Speaker 7: two catches, but those turnovers from Williams, and the previous

2482
01:51:34,760 --> 01:51:37,320
Speaker 7: game he had two touchdowns but two turnovers as well.

2483
01:51:37,520 --> 01:51:40,040
Speaker 7: I mentioned last hour the turnovers from Drake May the

2484
01:51:40,080 --> 01:51:43,479
Speaker 7: first two rounds, but they kept advancing. They'll face a

2485
01:51:43,520 --> 01:51:47,559
Speaker 7: normally very good Denver defense next weekend. Interesting matchup. The

2486
01:51:47,600 --> 01:51:50,679
Speaker 7: All Star Game starters for the NBA will be announced Monday.

2487
01:51:50,800 --> 01:51:54,120
Speaker 7: Fan voting just ended last Wednesday. Lakers took the late

01:51:54,160 --> 01:51:57,760
Speaker 7: game over Toronto Tonight. College hoops number seven Houston ripped

2489
01:51:57,800 --> 01:52:02,200

Speaker 7: five months after finger surgery. And if you didn't hear

2496
01:52:22,600 --> 01:52:25,439
Speaker 7: this week, newly retired pitcher Clayton Kershaw will be on

2497
01:52:25,520 --> 01:52:29,120
Speaker 7: Team USA in March the World Baseball Classic. I guess

2498
01:52:29,120 --> 01:52:30,800
Speaker 7: if they need an out or two out of the pen,

2499
01:52:30,920 --> 01:52:32,719
Speaker 7: let what he did in the playoffs.

2500
01:52:33,200 --> 01:52:34,519
Speaker 5: But what did he say to Sagar.

2501
01:52:34,600 --> 01:52:36,479
Speaker 3: He's like, now, you guys know, if I'm out there pitching,

2502
01:52:36,560 --> 01:52:38,559
Speaker 3: we're in big trouble or something along those lines.

2503
01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:40,800
Speaker 5: If it comes to that. Yeah, yeah, he had a

2504
01:52:40,800 --> 01:52:42,599
Speaker 5: smarmy response. But I love that, dude.

2505
01:52:42,800 --> 01:52:45,800
Speaker 7: Remember the World Baseball Classic just a few years ago

2506
01:52:46,080 --> 01:52:49,519
Speaker 7: was phenomenal. The fans and the atmosphere and all of that,

2507
01:52:49,640 --> 01:52:52,320
Speaker 7: and the actual games were superb all the way through

2508
01:52:52,360 --> 01:52:55,519
Speaker 7: the final when Japan edged the US and Otani came

2509
01:52:55,560 --> 01:52:57,720
Speaker 7: out of the pen to strike out Mike Trout for

2510
01:52:57,760 --> 01:53:01,120

Speaker 7: Trek scoobl are due to be on the team, and

2513
01:53:08,400 --> 01:53:11,799
Speaker 7: the team captain is Aaron Judge and likely the catchers

2514
01:53:11,840 --> 01:53:15,160
Speaker 7: on the American roster Will Smith and Cal Rawley from

2515

Speaker 7: with the Cubs. Bobby Witt Junior still to be on

2517
01:53:21,040 --> 01:53:24,479
Speaker 7: the team. The entire roster not finalized, but looking forward

2518
01:53:24,479 --> 01:53:25,120
Speaker 7: to it in March.

2519
01:53:25,160 --> 01:53:26,680
Speaker 3: Back to you Did I tell you I got to

2520
01:53:27,240 --> 01:53:29,439
Speaker 3: talk to and hang out with Bobby Witt Junr. This

2521
01:53:29,640 --> 01:53:33,479
Speaker 3: is look like best friends. He was at the Ou

2522
01:53:33,560 --> 01:53:37,040
Speaker 3: Temple game. He's an Oklahoma kid. He was originally committed

2523
01:53:37,080 --> 01:53:40,840
Speaker 3: here here, here, God's Country, and then I guess he

2524
01:53:40,920 --> 01:53:42,560
Speaker 3: thought being the number one pick in the draft was

2525
01:53:42,560 --> 01:53:43,599
Speaker 3: a bigger deal or something.

2526
01:53:44,040 --> 01:53:45,080
Speaker 4: Royals foolish.

2527
01:53:45,760 --> 01:53:47,880
Speaker 3: But yeah, I hung out with him for a little

2528
01:53:47,880 --> 01:53:50,599
Speaker 3: bit at the Ou Temple games. So we're like best friends.

2529
01:53:50,880 --> 01:53:53,760
Speaker 3: So well, let's get him on the show. This is

2530
01:53:53,800 --> 01:53:56,679
Speaker 3: what Arnie does. I talked of like five minutes. We're like, buddies,

2531
01:53:56,680 --> 01:53:58,120
Speaker 3: why don't you Lee, Why don't you get him on

2532
01:53:58,160 --> 01:53:59,639
Speaker 3: the show called Bobby wit Junior?

2533
01:53:59,640 --> 01:54:01,400
Speaker 5: Get him on the show. That's what Parney does.

2534
01:54:01,680 --> 01:54:04,200
Speaker 3: Hey, there is one note since I'm all nerded out

2535
01:54:04,320 --> 01:54:08,680
Speaker 3: now inching towards draft stuff, but also all over the

2536
01:54:08,720 --> 01:54:12,599
Speaker 3: coaching search news. Uh, Klay Kubiak, who is a big

2537
01:54:12,640 --> 01:54:16,840
Speaker 3: candidate everywhere, is also a candidate to potentially be in

2538
01:54:16,920 --> 01:54:20,759
Speaker 3: OC but Kyle Shanahan said that he would not allow

2539
01:54:21,400 --> 01:54:23,800
Speaker 3: Kubiak to take that same job with another team because

2540
01:54:23,800 --> 01:54:26,519
Speaker 3: you know, you got all the NFL rules with and

2541
01:54:26,520 --> 01:54:28,800
Speaker 3: and team rules. Whenever it comes to being able to

2542
01:54:28,880 --> 01:54:31,960
Speaker 3: make lateral moves and he's trying to block that. We'll

2543
01:54:31,960 --> 01:54:35,400
Speaker 3: see if that play, how that pans out. But we're uh,

2544
01:54:35,520 --> 01:54:38,000
Speaker 3: we're watching the coaching search. By the way, did you

2545
01:54:38,000 --> 01:54:40,520
Speaker 3: ever say who you were rooting for that offense to get?

2546
01:54:40,520 --> 01:54:43,480
Speaker 2: Because you don't care about any I wanted to, well,

2547
01:54:43,480 --> 01:54:45,720
Speaker 2: you're not getting Tomlin, so go which other way do

2548
01:54:45,760 --> 01:54:46,160
Speaker 2: you want to get?

2549
01:54:46,160 --> 01:54:49,920
Speaker 4: I'd rather get Salo. I like him. Other than that,

2550
01:54:49,960 --> 01:54:51,320
Speaker 4: it really doesn't make a difference who we.

2551
01:54:51,320 --> 01:54:53,600
Speaker 2: Get at Robert sal I thought you like said like

2552
01:54:53,760 --> 01:54:59,080
Speaker 2: sal who's sal sal AANESSI ri I p sal govern Alli,

2553
01:54:59,240 --> 01:55:00,880
Speaker 2: Like who do you want a right? So Robert Sala

2554
01:55:00,920 --> 01:55:04,120
Speaker 2: would be a good fit there. I think I've gone

2555
01:55:04,160 --> 01:55:06,440
Speaker 2: back and forth on the Titans. I kind of think

2556
01:55:06,480 --> 01:55:09,040
Speaker 2: Salam might be the next guy at Tennessee because he's

2557
01:55:09,040 --> 01:55:12,160
Speaker 2: the closest thing to Rabel maybe in this coaching cycle.

2558
01:55:12,840 --> 01:55:15,440
Speaker 2: But then, if you're Tennessee, don't you want an offensive

2559
01:55:15,480 --> 01:55:19,360
Speaker 2: minded coach? Or does that even matter anymore? I do

2560
01:55:19,440 --> 01:55:21,600
Speaker 2: want one, but I don't think it really matters. I'm

2561
01:55:21,600 --> 01:55:24,160
Speaker 2: just surprised that there's only how many have been filled?

2562
01:55:24,200 --> 01:55:25,480
Speaker 2: Two have been filled?

2563
01:55:25,560 --> 01:55:30,000
Speaker 5: Two? That's it, and that Kins in the in the Giants, right, and.

2564
01:55:29,960 --> 01:55:31,160
Speaker 4: Then Lafour staying.

2565
01:55:31,640 --> 01:55:34,840
Speaker 2: But otherwise I'm really surprised it's taking this song in

2566
01:55:34,920 --> 01:55:37,600
Speaker 2: the process. I thought we'd have at least half the

2567
01:55:37,760 --> 01:55:38,680
Speaker 2: alf the jobs filled.

2568
01:55:38,680 --> 01:55:41,640
Speaker 3: Though everyone's waiting. They were waiting on the first few dominoes.

2569
01:55:42,800 --> 01:55:45,000
Speaker 4: Next week, you gotta do like three interviews.

2570
01:55:45,440 --> 01:55:48,120
Speaker 2: A preliminary interview, then you got to do a skype

2571
01:55:48,120 --> 01:55:49,160
Speaker 2: interview or whatever, then.

2572
01:55:49,280 --> 01:55:52,640
Speaker 4: In person interview, in person interview, right right, all right.

2573
01:55:52,600 --> 01:55:53,320
Speaker 5: We gotta get out.

2574
01:55:53,360 --> 01:55:56,080
Speaker 3: But before we do and before Big Ben Mallord takes over,

2575
01:55:56,240 --> 01:55:58,280
Speaker 3: Arnie's picks are coming up next right here on Fox

Speaker 3: All right, take it away, stinking genius. Let's hear your picks,

2620
01:58:05,040 --> 01:58:07,839
Speaker 3: including you gotta call him. This championship game coming.

2621
01:58:07,680 --> 01:58:10,760
Speaker 4: Up, play to I am actually changing the score.

2622
01:58:11,560 --> 01:58:16,560
Speaker 2: I had it thirty four twenty seven in favor of

2623
01:58:17,040 --> 01:58:17,880
Speaker 2: where's the music?

2624
01:58:17,880 --> 01:58:19,400
Speaker 4: Put me in the mood? Let's go beat.

2625
01:58:19,400 --> 01:58:22,160
Speaker 5: You didn't thank Mary, she's up sttitude, she's mad.

2626
01:58:22,040 --> 01:58:26,360
Speaker 2: Right, Please please Indiana. I had thirty four twenty seven

2627
01:58:26,440 --> 01:58:29,800
Speaker 2: over Miami. I'm gonna that's a little too high. The

2628
01:58:29,880 --> 01:58:32,480
Speaker 2: score still gonna have Indiana win, but I'm gonna make

2629
01:58:32,520 --> 01:58:36,600
Speaker 2: it thirty one twenty four, so that means take well,

2630
01:58:37,160 --> 01:58:38,960
Speaker 2: I was gonna say that means take Miami.

2631
01:58:39,040 --> 01:58:40,960
Speaker 4: The line's back down the seven and a half.

2632
01:58:41,200 --> 01:58:45,680
Speaker 2: Earlier today it was plus nine for Miami, but it's

2633
01:58:45,720 --> 01:58:47,600
Speaker 2: gonna be right at the number. I would take Miami

2634
01:58:47,640 --> 01:58:51,480
Speaker 2: plus the points. Go with the over right, the AFC

2635
01:58:51,520 --> 01:58:56,080
Speaker 2: and the NFC Championship. I'm gonna go with the Broncos.

2636
01:58:56,120 --> 01:58:58,160
Speaker 2: Too many points. Give me the five and a half.

2637
01:58:58,280 --> 01:59:01,000
Speaker 2: By the time the game starts, Chris, I expect that

2638
01:59:01,080 --> 01:59:03,879
Speaker 2: to be up to six, maybe even six and a half,

2639
01:59:04,280 --> 01:59:06,280
Speaker 2: and I gotta go the over forty and a half.

2640
01:59:06,320 --> 01:59:09,320
Speaker 4: That's just way too low for this game. And in

2641
01:59:09,440 --> 01:59:10,080
Speaker 4: the other game.

2642
01:59:11,240 --> 01:59:14,640
Speaker 2: I'm sticking with my Rams, even though Seattle's probably got

2643
01:59:14,640 --> 01:59:17,040
Speaker 2: a bargain there on the number. Give me the Rams

2644
01:59:17,080 --> 01:59:19,839
Speaker 2: plus the two and a half, and I would probably

2645
01:59:19,840 --> 01:59:23,680
Speaker 2: go under forty seven and a half. I'd never go

2646
01:59:23,760 --> 01:59:27,000
Speaker 2: under under forty seven and a half in that one.

2647
01:59:27,280 --> 01:59:31,960
Speaker 2: Remember my Arizona Wildcats now eighteen and oh in basketball.

2648
01:59:32,360 --> 01:59:33,080
Speaker 4: Bear down.

2649
01:59:33,720 --> 01:59:35,480
Speaker 2: As I told you, I think I'm the only person

2650
01:59:35,880 --> 01:59:39,240
Speaker 2: on this planet who thought they would be undefeated. Even

2651
01:59:39,280 --> 01:59:41,840
Speaker 2: the coach said, well, you know, we know we can't

2652
01:59:41,840 --> 01:59:42,720
Speaker 2: go undefeated.

2653
01:59:43,280 --> 01:59:46,200
Speaker 4: I think I'm the only person that knows it. Eighteen

2654
01:59:46,240 --> 01:59:46,480
Speaker 4: and oh.

2655
01:59:46,640 --> 01:59:50,760
Speaker 2: Now they're gonna win Wednesday against Cincinnati, and they're gonna

2656
01:59:50,800 --> 01:59:54,240
Speaker 2: win Saturday against West Virginia to go in even twenty

2657
01:59:54,280 --> 01:59:57,440
Speaker 2: and zero until they go undefeated. And me and you

2658
01:59:57,480 --> 02:00:00,520
Speaker 2: get to call a softball game at oklahom So.

2659
02:00:00,640 --> 02:00:03,000
Speaker 5: I don't really know how that ended up being part

2660
02:00:03,040 --> 02:00:03,960
Speaker 5: of the bet, but go ahead.

2661
02:00:04,040 --> 02:00:05,520
Speaker 4: I want to see if you could pull it off.

2662
02:00:05,720 --> 02:00:06,680
Speaker 4: So there you have my picks.

2663
02:00:06,720 --> 02:00:07,000
Speaker 5: Do it is?

2664
02:00:07,120 --> 02:00:11,000
Speaker 2: You police no longer strictly for entertainment purposes only, so

2665
02:00:11,080 --> 02:00:13,040
Speaker 2: I have no desire to pull it off, and you're

2666
02:00:13,040 --> 02:00:16,200
Speaker 2: not going to be in the room. I'm happy. And

2667
02:00:16,240 --> 02:00:17,640
Speaker 2: there's the pitch. It's a strike.

2668
02:00:18,520 --> 02:00:21,320
Speaker 5: It's great. Do you sound good to me? Thank you

2669
02:00:21,440 --> 02:00:27,160
Speaker 5: from home. You think it's gonna be a good game tonight, Yes.

2670
02:00:27,000 --> 02:00:29,440
Speaker 4: I do. I think it'll be with it a touchdown,

2671
02:00:29,480 --> 02:00:29,880
Speaker 4: Yes I do.

2672
02:00:30,640 --> 02:00:35,760
Speaker 3: And Indiana caught a couple teams good teams, I mean listen.

2673
02:00:35,840 --> 02:00:38,880
Speaker 3: They beat ohiose staying the Big Ten Championship game. They

2674
02:00:39,000 --> 02:00:41,920
Speaker 3: rolled in Alabama, team that I thought was going to

2675
02:00:41,960 --> 02:00:43,800
Speaker 3: give them more of a game. I thought Indiana. I

2676
02:00:43,800 --> 02:00:46,720
Speaker 3: thought Alabama might even beat them. But Indiana has been

2677
02:00:46,960 --> 02:00:50,880
Speaker 3: infinitely better than I ever could have imagined. But I'm

2678
02:00:50,880 --> 02:00:54,480
Speaker 3: starting my draft prep Arnie. A lot of Miami dudes,

2679
02:00:54,920 --> 02:00:58,879
Speaker 3: a lot of Miami dudes on the NFL draft boards,

2680
02:00:58,920 --> 02:01:01,480
Speaker 3: if you will, and I just think they're kind of

2681
02:01:01,520 --> 02:01:04,560
Speaker 3: being slept on a little bit, the being slapt. You're

2682

Speaker 5: There's no way you're going to the Knixt game tomorrow night.
