00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Henzas, and I'm joined by a

4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, and Greg Rosatal.

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: What's up, boys, Oh oh boy? Guess what, Chris Westling.

6
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: This is a special show. It's up right right as

7
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: it hits, as the news comes out. This is our

8
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: second annual NFL two thousand fifteen schedule extravaganza. That'll get

9
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: west excited. We don't have a lot of annual shows.

10
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a tradition, kind of like carving

11
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: up that turkey on second second it drops. People don't

12
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: go to NFL dot com to check the schedule or

13
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: watch NFL Network. They just put on their old iPod

14
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: iPod um. Typically. Yeah, typically we'll have a show up

15
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: earlier on Tuesday or perhaps even Monday. But the show

16
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: is coming out a little later. I think it's one

17
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: am London time, if I'm if I'm not mistaken. When

18
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: the straps a you know, evening time here on the

19
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: West coast here, people are staying up to get it.

20
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: The United States, don't under don't underestimate the good job

21
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: by the way UK audience. I've been doing some research

22
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: on our listenership. I know we're gonna get to the schedule.

23
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: The UK audience keeps growing percentage wise, so thank you

24
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: and all the other countries out there. You know, step

25
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: up to the UK's game has about four countries in it.

26
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: So I'm just saying the percentage of the audience keeps

27
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: growing from the UK. I don't know anything about Angola.

28
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: So we got a big show today, big, big, big show.

29
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: I'm excited about it. I'm not quite as excited maybe

30
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: about Thursday show. I was really excited about this when

31
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: this one, I'm like, you know, seven out of ten excited.

32
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: It's good to be honest. Yeah. Um, and gonna break

33
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: down the schedule or the schedule West, uh in six parts. Basically,

34
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: we have we have a bunch of content if you

35
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: go to NFL dot com, slash around the NFL um

36
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: we have, uh, we break down the schedule. We've all

37
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: written pieces about the two thousand fifteen slate, so make

38
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: sure you check that out. And we're gonna talk about

39
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: you know, basically, UH, We're gonna break it down every

40
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: possible way West and I know you're excited about it.

41
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: I can't wait to analyze the schedule that we won't

42
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: even matter for another five months. One of the joys

43
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: I think for all of us, the three of us

44
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: watching West just as a like a kid in a

45
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: candy store. This is one of his favorite offseason you know,

46
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: ten pole moments when the schedule releases. That's West's sweet spot.

47
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: It's the most overhyped thing we do at NFL media.

48
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 1: It just comes in a quiet time of the year.

49
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right, it's total nonsense. We already know all

50
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: the opponents. It's tough, but they play in Week three.

51
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: Who cares? But it's fine. Tell me about it in

52
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: week two and I'll get ready. I'll get excited for

53
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: Sometimes silly things are fun. West. By the way, West,

54
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: you know, we could talk about the schedule, or we

55
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: could do a show on Tim Tebow signing with the Eagles.

56
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: Do you have any hot takes about that? Actual football

57
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: news and analysis? Yes, talking about Tim Tebow or Philip Rivers,

58
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: then well, Tibo is not gonna make the roster. But

59
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: it's interesting that Chip Kelly. He wound up with Chip Kelly,

60
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: who once said Wally was at Oregon that it wasn't

61
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: a Tim Tebow type of offense. So I found that

62
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,839
Speaker 1: a little interesting. But uh, the Philip Rivers. I think

63
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: Greg had this yesterday because we were watching Ladini and

64
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: Thomlinson kind of shocked us how frankly Ladinian was talking

65
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: that he thinks that Rivers will be gone from San Diego.

66
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: Rivers is sent in a message. I mean, that's something

67
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: to think about while we're looking at this Titan schedule.

68
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: Who's the quarterback there. Rivers is not talking to the

69
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: media this week or next, but through Tomlinson's words saying

70
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: that he's frustrated with the organization, went through a laundry

71
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: list of the players that have left there. He's basically talking.

72
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: He's talking through Tom Ti, he's talking through Kevin as

73
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: at the Union Tribune. He's not happy, he wants out,

74
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,839
Speaker 1: he's hoping for a trade. It's crazy. And as far

75
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: as uh to circle back to Tebow for one second,

76
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: it's a perfect way to cap Chip Kelly's offseason of me.

77
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, you know he now he's got Tebow on

78
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: the Wrostler and he could quietly cut uh Tebow in August.

79
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: But because it's already achieved its desire, desired effect. We

80
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: were once again trying to get inside the mind of

81
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: the mysterious Chip Kelly, the great genius, but we can't

82
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: because it's just too much going on in there. I

83
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: look at it differently. I see this as once again

84
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly's thinking outside the box. A player who definitely

85
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: should be in the NFL. He's better than a lot

86
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: of second Chip Kelly disciples to my left, you can

87
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 1: win games with Tim Tebow. You can't win games with

88
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: a lot like Thaddeus Lewis. I mean, yeah, good for you,

89
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly. Chim Kelly is smarter than the thirty one

90
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: other coaches for signing Tim Tebow. No, I think there's

91
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: a group think in the NFL, especially when it comes

92
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: to player evaluation, and once somebody says, I don't want

93
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: to circus in town, he's not worth it, then the

94
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: rest of the teams agree with that. I hear you,

95
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: but you're I've never thought i'd hear Westling defend a

96
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: quarterback that can't throw. Wouldn't you take him over Matt Barkley?

97
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: I was. John Fox has no had no interest really

98
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: in Tim Tebow. Bill Belichick had this Josh McDaniels, who

99
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: drafted Tim Tebow, didn't really have interest in keeping Tebow

100
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: on the team. He couldn't do anything in New York.

101
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: And I'm just saying a lot of people have given up.

102
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: They've they've seen what. I'm not saying that Tim Tebow

103
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: is some secret weapon. I'm saying he's better than a

104
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: lot of these guys. He's better than Ryan Linley and

105
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: one and one thing with Chip Kelly doesn't have to

106
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: because he doesn't have an empowered general manager anyone to say, hey, guys,

107
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 1: not a good idea for the organization. He runs the

108
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: show and he can make this move for other coaches

109
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: if they wanted him. Have a lot of hoops to

110
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: jump through to even to bring the beauty of the NFL.

111
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: He'll have to answer to it. If it doesn't work. Yeah,

112
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: I'll enjoy this because it won't last beyond August. Team

113
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: kept way. I think the only way that he would

114
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: make the team is if they do what the Jets

115
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: want to do and figure out some way where you

116
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: could use him a few plays a game or here

117
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: and there. And it's not like he's gonna be started.

118
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: They were gonna do and it was a huge distraction.

119
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: I don't know why Chip Kelly would ever invite that

120
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: into his building. And it's not just to me group think.

121
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: It's the truth the guy. He's a lightning rod for debate.

122
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: The second Sam Bradford struggles in September, it becomes this

123
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: whole whole deal about Tebow in there. That's past, I

124
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: really do. I think most of the country knows that

125
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: Tebow can't throw the ball, so there's not Eagles fans

126
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: are not gonna be clamoring for Tim Tebow, and there

127
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: is less interest in him now. I mean, we're talking

128
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: about it. It's the middle of April. This story would

129
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: have gotten a little more buried if it happened right

130
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: in the middle of free agency. But you know, I

131
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: want to applaud the audience once again not really clicking

132
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: on the Tim Tebow stories as much anymore, which I

133
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: like nicely done. They were. It's all relative. It's still

134
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: very popular, but it's not the crazy you could you

135
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: could sell. The executive type people in our building when

136
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: they were forced in meetings this morning to acknowledge that

137
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: the Tebow stories weren't doing well, Oh that hurt them.

138
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: Had a hard time with the Shadowy League. Shadowy League

139
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: figures a dark day when Tebow is not moving the needle. Uh,

140
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: let's now look behind the glass. It's been a while,

141
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: and maybe it hasn't. Maybe it hasn't been as quite

142
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: as long as it feels to me. But I feel

143
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: like it's been a while since the great t D. St.

144
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: Dane has been behind the glass. What's up, buddy boy?

145
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: What is going on? It's St Matthew Daniel, But I

146
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: always get that wrong. It's only been no disrespect and

147
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: it's only been five minutes. And t TD walked in

148
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: and took a shot at Mark Sessler. Well, that was

149
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: unprofessional in toft the air and it was unprofessional. No, no,

150
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: I was providing facts. And you just come with some

151
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: heat of the great antagonistic relationships and all of podcasts

152
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: radio right now, maybe perhaps the premier antagonistic relationships. It

153
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: was the way last week, but back and it was

154
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: good standers here doing a stay in, big fan of

155
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: ghostanding you know the world? Are you though to say

156
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: when he's going at the dark Star trying to turn

157
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: him against you? It's impossible. Just put it this way.

158
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: Put it this way. If gold Standard wasn't moving on

159
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: to bigger and better things at the end of the month.

160
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: You wouldn't have been so cool about him doing four

161
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: shows and five. I mean, I know I missed the show,

162
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: but you know, ghost in it is my guy. Did

163
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: you notice when West was drunk on the phone a

164
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: couple weeks ago and he said how much he missed

165
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: you and how great you are. That's true. You didn't

166
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: listen to that shows a bit, but not the whole thing.

167
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: Listen to West sung your praises in an alleviated state.

168
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: I was not drunk. Listened to quite a bit. What

169
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: does that mean five minutes? Maybe Direct didn't produce that

170
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: Goldman show. I listened to you know last episode where

171
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: Zach did a news drop. You know all right? He

172
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: talking about the gold standard reminds me of Bella checks

173
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: flowery statements after he cuts a guy. You know what

174
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: I mean, It's like, you're he's the greatest patriot of

175
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: all time. That I that I just fired um And

176
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: well the last show you did mention right before we

177
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: started you might have had an issue with something that

178
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: we talked about in the last show. Yeah, I just

179
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: said it, you know, like you know, I remember when

180
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 1: I first started producing the show Go to News, and

181
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: the very first time I said let's do it, and

182
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: everyone went up and I was like, oh, that's the

183
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,599
Speaker 1: ghost standard thing. You can't say let's do it. So

184
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: I had to come up with a new every show.

185
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: And that's what it became. You know, that was your thing.

186
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: And then this is the last episode and then you

187
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: know you asked for a news dropping Well we wanted

188
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: one once. You know, that was tied to Britta McHenry,

189
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: the suspended ESPN reporter team Britt over here by the way,

190
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: and that was you know, that was nothing against you.

191
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: That was more like I wanted to get that into

192
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 1: the show and it was my idea. So don't put

193
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: it on Zach. Like I said, I don't want you

194
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 1: to be you and Zach become the way it's called

195
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 1: a production element, go standard. You know, he's the best

196
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: of us. I'm gonna go standing fan. But quick question

197
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: for you guys, though, really quick question on the schedule.

198
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: Who's worse it is the guy that says schedule or

199
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: the guy that says image, I mean audience immaturity? What's

200
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: the maturity? Yeah, so rather than going immature, I never

201
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: heard that, So that sounds worse to me. I like,

202
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: I like schedule. I mean I don't really look like

203
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: Bury people about how they pronounced things. So that's that's right.

204
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: A lot of effort into it, right, Yeah, so someone

205
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: easy to say schedule and immature. Schedule is not bad

206
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: though it's kind of sneaky. Under the radar is a

207
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: good altered alternate pronunciation. Um alright, So questionable comment by

208
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: t D. Yeah, I mean that was weird, but t D,

209
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: it is good to have you back, buddy. So let's

210
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: talk about it now. Let's get into the schedule or

211
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: the schedule or however you want to say it, because

212
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: it is out and I guess we'll start. Let's just

213
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: start right off the top because I want to get

214
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: into a little bit. Uh. My colleague and my boss,

215
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: the boss to the right, we talked about a couple

216
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: of weeks ago and Levy on Bell got suspended, and

217
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: we said, oh, you know what, this is all setting

218
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: up for the Patriots to pull the Steelers in week

219
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: one in their building without Levy on Bell. And when

220
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 1: did you know if they all get together in their

221
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: little office in Park Avenue and they closed the door

222
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: and they have so many options to choose them. What

223
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,479
Speaker 1: do they do? They give Bill Belichick and the Patriots

224
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: the Steelers without their best player, the best running back. Uh.

225
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: To me, it all smells like the Throne of ease

226
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: is cooking again in another season. Or maybe they looked

227
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: at two of the best teams in the a f

228
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: C over the last ten years since Ben Roethlisberger was

229
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: drafted this I can't hear him, he's too high up

230
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 1: on it. And the number three team they're there the too,

231
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: two of the favorites for this year. Of course they're

232
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: gonna be there in Week one. I think dance theory

233
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: is probably more solid and correct. This is good news

234
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: for the Patriots that they get to misspell. But I

235
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: promise you it's good news for the Steelers too, because

236
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: they get the Patriots in Week one in September. That's

237
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: when they're at their worst. Their winning percentage way lower

238
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: in September than any other month. It's but it's it's

239
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: the truth. If you play the Patriots, you want to

240
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: play him early. How about take a month or so

241
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: to figure out how they're going to run their team?

242
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: As But okay, fair enough, But as damage Chuck said downstairs,

243
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: Damna Check very upset that the Steelers got one. He

244
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: he referred to the week one road opponent in the

245
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: Thursday night game as a sacrificial lamb. And with the

246
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 1: exception of one year, which is an outlier the Giants

247
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: uh falling to the Cowboys a few years back. It

248
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: is always that home team defending champion wins. The Patriots

249
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: are gonna be a heavy favorite to win that game,

250
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: and the Steelers are without their most dynamic player. It's

251
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 1: it's you know, it just gets me mad. Why did

252
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: the Patriots get someone they're less of a favorite than

253
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: they would be against the Jets or the Bills or

254
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: the Eagles for that matter. So what those were the options?

255
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: They picked the best team? Well, we wanted we wanted Steelers,

256
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: and I still think that would have been more interesting.

257
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: But this is a good game. I don't want a

258
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: problem with Steelers Patriots. I was only a little surprised

259
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: because it's the all I got caught smoking pot and

260
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 1: got suspended for a bowl. I mean, but Aaron Blunt's out,

261
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: Laby and bells out. It's just a little weird because

262
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a big focus of this game, shouldn't

263
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: it be? I don't. I don't know why you needed

264
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: to throw the word bowl in there. I think already

265
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: had made your point at that point. You keep hammering

266
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: her home. So yeah, I don't know. I guess it

267
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: will still be a good game. I'm sure it'll be.

268
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: I just thought it just seems so obvious to me

269
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: that that's how it was going to play out. I

270
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: don't know, Well, what would you have wanted, Eagles? I

271
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: think that would have been fun. We should celebrate that

272
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: matchup by reading the Drugs Delaney letter from outside Providence.

273
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: No idea what you're talking about right now? Yeah? Drugs Delaney? Yeah,

274
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: rest in peace, Mr Delaney. Um alright, So yeah, that

275
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: was the thing that jumped out to me. Is anybody

276
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: want to how do we want to do? Is we

277
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: want to kind of go through some of our content

278
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: here to anybody else have something that shots out to

279
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: them immediately? Let's start with Week one. Okay, that's fun

280
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: that I wrote a little just about that Week one week.

281
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: But one of the games that's under the radar, not

282
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: a primetime game or anything, Titans Bucks Week one. Maybe

283
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna have the top two picks of the draft.

284
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: Possibly it's not gonna be a sexy game. But if

285
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: it's Jamis Winston is Marcus Mariota in Week one, that's

286
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: pretty crazy. Shoved that back down under the radar. I'm

287
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: just saying it's stuck out. I mean, has that ever happened?

288
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: I kind of doubt it. Speaking of predictable, and I'm

289
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: a fan of these, this matchup but also hyper predictable

290
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: is the first Sunday night game of the year, Giants

291
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: at Cowboys, which I feel like it's all in either

292
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: the Week one or Week seventeen matchup on NBC for

293
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: the past thirteen straight years. You can already hear Chris

294
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: collins Worth calling this game. What a great game that

295
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: would be. They should just call this that the Giants

296
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: at Cowboys Sunday night game, because that's all. That's all

297
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: it is. You're right, but it guarantees the ratings and

298
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: for all the Cowboys you know talk we give every

299
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: single top rated game ever is a Cowboys. I like

300
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: this one, and they play entertaining primetime games. Also, good quarterback,

301
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: come on, Ravens at Broncos. You got Kubiak in Denver

302
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: taking on his old offense in Baltimore, and you know

303
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: you you know, that's a tough one. Whoever wins that,

304
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: it's got to feel very good about Week one. Surprised

305
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: I didn't think to put that on my list of

306
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: revenge games Kubi out. And one thing I'm not surprised

307
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: about is that Mark was given one takeaway from week

308
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: one and he went straight to the coordinators. The friend

309
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: of the coordinator, Mark Sessler. Why is it that you

310
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: connect with coordinators in such a way. What is the

311
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: the what is the mentality behind it? I'm curious what

312
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: it is, I think, because you know they're in the

313
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: shadows a little bit. But I think if I were

314
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: ever to be a football coach, I would want to

315
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: be not the head coach necessarily, but the offensive coordinate.

316
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: You on some levels, see yourself as a coordinator on

317
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: some level, whether it be in the office or at home,

318
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: and you think you deserve more pub and that's why

319
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: you bring it. That feels that feels accurate to me. Interesting,

320
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: you're the Mark Tressman of the group, speaking of coordinator

321
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: just was fired. So speaking of Mark, the Jets and

322
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: the Brownies and week one, how exciting is that Greg

323
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: obviously will be sending us to that game, so to

324
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: all our listeners in the York, New Jersey area. Well,

325
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: we could have a tweet up, Greg, thank you for that.

326
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: That's not true, just made that up. But Greg, how

327
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: about it. If we're sending anyone anywhere, it's too Foxbro

328
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: for that kickoff like he went to last year. You know,

329
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: a couple of teams hoping to get to eight wins

330
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: are roving Week one reporter Dan Hans, I can do both.

331
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: I could swing yeah, I could swing by New York

332
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: and then pop up or pop into New York after

333
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: New England. That's cool. I mean they do always try

334
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: to have the teams that struggled last year face off

335
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: against each other early in the year so you get

336
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: some early wins. I mean, that's been a fortune smart

337
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: for fifty years. That's why the Titans and the in

338
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: the Bucks are playing each other. The thing that stuck

339
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: out to me is that finally, the doubleheader nightcap on

340
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: Monday night in Week one is not including the Raiders,

341
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: is not an a f C West game. I think

342
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: that's the first time ever Vikings forty Niners Teddy Bridgewater

343
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: on National TV against the new look forty Niners. I

344
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: know their teams kind of in transition. But I like

345
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: that as as two teams kind of. I just want

346
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: to watch by My new look is generous. I mean

347
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: it's more like what was in the picture. It's been

348
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: like six it's been removed. How about Eagles Falcons the

349
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: same night, first time we get to see Shannon hands offense,

350
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: but at a snoozer though in Atlanta. I don't like

351
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: that one that much. I mean, like crowd noise going

352
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: and that thing is gonna be hopping. Do you think

353
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow will watch that Eagles game from his couch

354
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 1: or we think he'll go to a sports bar. I

355
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: think he'll be watching it from the sideline. Well, Matt

356
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: Barkley is somewhere else watching it from someone else. I

357
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: always thought they, I'm not on board with this. Tebow

358
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: doesn't make the Eagles thing. We'll see. I always thought

359
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: they should do this Monday night doublehead or a different

360
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: time of year, because by that point in the first Monday,

361
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: it's like we haven't had any football for months. It'd

362
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: be like keeping Chris Westling away from Tybee Island for

363
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: a year. That first night or two he's back. I

364
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: mean he's getting after it. There's a lot to go

365
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: for and it's like, when't we enjoy that nice Monday

366
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: night doublehead or a a little later in the season, spread

367
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: out the love. You see what I'm saying, OK, I

368
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: respect that. Hey one other tent pole uh portion of

369
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: the season Thanksgiving's talk about Thanksgiving? Uh. And we'll start

370
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: with Eagles at Lions. That's the early game. Solid game.

371
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: I like that game. I'll miss and Dominican sue he

372
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: always seemed to bring adventures to that game. Uh. Then

373
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: you have the Panthers at Cowboys. That's the middle game.

374
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: That's a little weird that the Panthers snuck in there.

375
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: Your thoughts about that? You know, they're a fun team

376
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: to watch. Why do you have a problem with that?

377
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: They are much more fun team to watch than the

378
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: Cowboys are. I mean, they were literally one of the

379
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: final eight teams in the NFL playoffs two straight years.

380
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 1: How many teams can say you gonna count the Panthers

381
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: as a true playoff team last year? Though they won

382
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: a game well at the end of the year and

383
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: they played team with no quarterback, but they were good

384
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: down the stretch. Does anyone forget that game against the Seahawks?

385
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: Was that wrong? But it was tied to start the

386
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Every you know, they were a competitive team.

387
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: They have Cam Newton. That makes the Lions to me,

388
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: are a little more boring. I think they messed up

389
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: this Thanksgiving slate. And then like Thanksgiving Night, Chicago Bears

390
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: at Green Bay Packers. You know, talk about sacrificial lambs

391
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 1: as will be lucky to be out of the first

392
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: half not down twenty points. Uh. And then at halftime, finally, thankfully,

393
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: Brett Farve is going to get his freaking number retired.

394
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how much, how long we've had to

395
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: talk about that, how many stories you've had to write

396
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: about that. I mean, like as if it's such a

397
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: big deal. But he will get his number retired at halftime.

398
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: But that game, to me smells like a potential steak. Well,

399
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: it's a nightmare, I think, like last year. And then

400
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: you know West pointed this out and something that he's

401
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: written that two years in a row, no a FC

402
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,479
Speaker 1: teams on Thanksgiving and this is the perfect set up

403
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: for a classic Steelers Ravens type brawl. Instead you're putting

404
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: Jake Cutler in there against Aaron Rodgers well right, or

405
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: or someone even less. It's just it's it smells to

406
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: me like an absolute bomb. Drop is a half? Weren't

407
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: they have forty five to nothing at halftime last time

408
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 1: they play? Think it's with Packers have have gone eleven

409
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: and two against the Bears since Jake Cutler landed in Chicago.

410
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: The Bears were a fun team to watch At this point.

411
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: I feel like they need to It's up to them

412
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: to change our minds. But what's the thinking? Why like

413
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: the people's thinking. Bred Farve is getting his number retired

414
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving. It's his return, that's the star, That's it's

415
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: all about far of That night the NFL's oldest rivalry,

416
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: right and and Farv had his best or one of

417
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: his best records against the Bears against them, a lot

418
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: of games against them. It all sense. It's Green Bay

419
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 1: Lambeau on a Thursday night Thanksgiving. I mean, that's never

420
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: happened before. There's something cool. I'm on board. Maybe the

421
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: Bears want to I mean Green play Green Bay plays Seattle.

422
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: How about you put that Thanksgiving night ratings fire bomb? Instead?

423
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: You got Jake Cutler and late November, Hi, Mark, I

424
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: have a question for you. Okay, I want to know.

425
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: I want you to tell me if you can some

426
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: teams in your estimation got lucky. Who got lucky? When

427
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: it comes to the release of the schedule, when you

428
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: look at obviously you can't really tell. We don't know

429
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: who's gonna be good, who's gonna who's gonna suck. But

430
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: maybe your first glance and you looked at these schedules,

431
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: who maybe jumped out to his teams that will have

432
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,239
Speaker 1: the advantage uh this season because of the way it

433
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: was put scheduled. I don't know about advantage because I

434
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: think it's for me. It's some who bounce back from

435
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 1: having crappy schedules last year and have a better situation

436
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 1: this time. The Jets are one team for me. Like

437
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: they had a Murders row of quarterbacks last season. They

438
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: did play Aaron Rodgers, Philip Rivers, Peyton Manning. None of

439
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: those guys are on the schedule this time around. And

440
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: they get the a f C, they get the Titans, Jaguars,

441
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: and Texans, and they open with Cleveland and they don't

442
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: have that first place schedule, so they're getting the Cleveland's

443
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: and the Titans that type of fair and so you know,

444
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: they four wins last season. I think they could double that.

445
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: They got the NFC, Yes, you got they got the

446
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 1: NFC East. They got the a f C South. That's

447
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 1: not too crazy at all. And their division stop. I mean,

448
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna the Patriots are there, but then the rest

449
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: of the teams are all kind of at their level.

450
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: So I think they're in pretty good position. Who else

451
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: you got here? Well, I went NFC South because I mean,

452
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, what do we know today? But they they

453
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: play the a f C South, so that's gonna help

454
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: them get out of the city. You know, it's seven

455
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: eight and one won the division last year. It's not

456
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: going to be that way this I think the Saints

457
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: at an improved team, you know, the Falcons be a

458
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: better offense this year around, better team, and like, well

459
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: they get they get the crappy a f C division.

460
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: That's what more cans. That's huge. And that's how I

461
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: a lot of times they picked my wild card teams

462
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: just okay, what divisions could get multiple playoff teams. The

463
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,959
Speaker 1: af C North at a very advantageous schedule last year

464
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: and and it worked out that way. The only thing

465
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: is the FC South might be looking at that NFC

466
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: South and thinking we've got They probably aren't. I look

467
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: at the Saints, so that the only team of every

468
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: NFL team that doesn't play consecutive road games. They don't

469
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: have to go on any nasty three games, you know,

470
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: I mean the bat the teams that are in trouble,

471
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 1: the ones they have three or four road games in

472
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: a road. It's a couple of those three teams. Mark.

473
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: I'm looking at your your post, which on this who

474
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: Got Lucky listed a bunch of teams and divisions. And

475
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: I wanted to say, if anybody wants to read mark

476
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: stuff NFL dot Com slash Mark's latest think piece, well

477
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: this one was thrust upon me, going out of his

478
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: eight to have people not read marks content. Uh no,

479
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: make sure you read it's good. But I also noticed

480
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: that use autumn. You're the only, uh around the NFL

481
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 1: writer that uses autumn repeatedly in your content. Well, I'm

482
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: tired of having to write last year, last season, blah

483
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: blah blah. I'm not taking shots. I'm just no, no,

484
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: it's you know. I know it's also incorrect because half

485
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: the season doesn't take place in the autumn, So I

486
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: get that. All I noticed the Colts continue to have

487
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: the softest schedule in the NFL. Yeah, well they do.

488
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: They're eight and skate. Well they again, they play the

489
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: division we were just talking about, and they can eat up.

490
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: They can eat them up. And then they're tough games

491
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: New England. You know, I think the Saints is a

492
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: tough game in Denver. They play all those teams at home.

493
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: They get eight, eight free wins every year. Eight When

494
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: I was, when I was in the post office, just six.

495
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 1: We used to have a phrase, eight and skate. What

496
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: is that? What was it? So if you're part of

497
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: the union, and you you like a veteran guy, you're

498
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: you have so many days a week where you're not

499
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: allowed to have overtime. So if you're guaranteed only eight

500
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 1: hours that day, you got eight and skate you you

501
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: got eight hours, get eight free wins every year. So

502
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 1: glad you escaped that work six three wins. Now they

503
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: get they get another two easy games for fun. Yeah,

504
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: they get plenty of easy game. They gotta start in Buffalo.

505
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: That's a fun week one game. They got the Buccaneers

506
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: this year. Oh I guess yeah. You like uh, you

507
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 1: like the Saints as a team that's been set up

508
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: for a bounce back here Hummer. I think so. It

509
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 1: seems like everything kind of went wrong last year and

510
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: they've set They were my Super Bowl pick last year.

511
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: I gotta they gotta do something right. Wait, do you

512
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: put them on this list just because you picked them to?

513
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: I like the fact that they don't have a nasty

514
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: road schedule? Do you want to give any details? No,

515
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: I'm reading your content. Only NFL team without back to

516
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: back road games. That seems I mentioned that earlier in

517
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: the in the broadcast, I wasn't listening. They're only consecutive

518
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: away dates come on either side of the week eleven by.

519
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: Did you know that? Yeah, well, this is the research

520
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: I did about an hour ago. They got to start

521
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: in Arizona. I always kind of look at that September start,

522
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: I mean, because after that, who knows, But start in Arizona.

523
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: That's a tough place. You gotta go to Carolina. Week three,

524
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: You guys want to know who got We're not allowed

525
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,719
Speaker 1: to use that terminology on the website or probably even

526
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: the podcast, but uh on the on NFL dot com. Okay,

527
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: who got host? That's another thing we couldn't say online,

528
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: but we can't say that in the podcast here. Every

529
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: time bang of Gong comes on the radio, TV bleeps

530
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 1: it out. We can't say host and prints. We can't

531
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,719
Speaker 1: say I can't say host. Last year it was it

532
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: was asked who got hosed? Was up for? I think

533
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: it was the third year we did who got host?

534
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: I was the writer, I remember. But last year in

535
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: the morning, I remember there was some shadowy league figure

536
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: that had us change. I feel like I feel like

537
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: this my post, which is had to be retitled two

538
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: thousand fifteen scheduled colon Who's facing an uphill climb? This

539
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: is what's gonna cost me the pulitzer. It would have

540
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: been hosed. I think I was gonna get the polits.

541
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 1: It's like eight colin's and four subtitles in that story anyway.

542
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, here's the other, the flip side of the

543
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: team's or divisions where I think they're kind of in

544
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: a tough spot. And I'll I'll start with um the

545
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: teams that have three straight road games at one point

546
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: in their schedule. Again, there's not too much. You don't

547
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: want to get too crazy about who's what's an easy game,

548
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: what's not an easy game, because we don't really know

549
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: who's good. But you know that going on the road

550
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: three games a row is tough, tough, and the Falcons, Bills, Dolphins,

551
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: and Jaguars all have to do that. And just just

552
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: a reminder how hard it is to win on the road.

553
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: Only six teams had a winning record on the road

554
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 1: last year. Um, and no team had less than three losses.

555
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: So I mean that's it's not easy to win on

556
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: the road. It's not. And it just reminded me of something.

557
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: You know, who should be on this list every year?

558
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,719
Speaker 1: The Jaguars because they give away a home game. I

559
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: love the International Series, but it's a competitive disadvantage that

560
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: the same team has volunteers. That's about keeping the Jaguars.

561
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's given up the Jaguars. Jaguars fans

562
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 1: pack Wembley Stadium. I'm not saying it. Look, there's only

563
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: sixteen games in the season. You want every advantage you

564
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: can possibly. Those four teams have three road games on

565
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,239
Speaker 1: the row, so that's that's not fun. The Steelers, I'll

566
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: throw out there, I think, Um, you know, of course

567
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: they mentioned Check was upset about that Week one that

568
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: they got stuck with the Patriots without Levian Bell. But

569
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: here's the other thing. If you look after their their

570
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: posts by schedule after Week eleven is rough. They're at

571
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: Seattle home to Colts, at Cincinnati, home to Denver, at Baltimore,

572
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: and then at Cleveland. Uh, there's no gimmes there. Often

573
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 1: do you see a team that they know is going

574
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: to be in the thick of the division race in

575
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 1: the final month of four games, three are on the

576
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: road against division opponents, all road games. That is just

577
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: even though damnit check is a right to be annoying,

578
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: what I'm seeing here is games at a. J. McCarron

579
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: home to brock Oswild and at Janne Manzel best case

580
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: scenari That's what happens when you look at the schedule

581
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: in April. Yeah, I mean, that's that's fair. West Springs

582
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: a good perspective, that is, that is tough though the Steelers,

583
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: especially that first place schedule in the a f C

584
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: is so much harder than the third or fourth. The

585
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: fact that they get the Broncos and the Patriots and

586
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: that NFC West that's disastrous. Um let's see nine and

587
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: seven winner of that. It does seem like the Steelers

588
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: get the hardest schedule this year. Uh so, yeah, sorry

589
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: about that. Steelers and I it's almost like they they

590
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: got to be like seven and three hitting that by

591
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: or I think they're in deep Troit. And by the way,

592
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: the Ravens are at home three of four of their

593
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: final four games. So it's like, come on, and it

594
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: just seems tilted bizarrely. And also throughout the NFC West

595
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: as a whole. Uh you know, listen, it's not maybe

596
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: as stacked the division as it was when the Niners

597
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: were a powerhouse. But even factoring that in, that's a

598
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: competitive division. Those teams beat each other up and then

599
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: all the West teams they got to play the a

600
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: f C North, which is maybe if maybe they're one

601
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: two in terms of most competitive divisions. A f C

602
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: North fielded three playoff teams last year. Um. This also

603
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: does in a somewhat related uh point, this does mark

604
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: present the possibility of Johnny Manziel playing at Century Link Field. Uh,

605
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: you know, an presents this, you know, the possibility of

606
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: Cleveland winning three or four games next season. When I

607
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: look at the schedule, I could have easily put Cleveland

608
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,640

609
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,680

613
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: a bunch of great games there. I love football here

614
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: around the NFL podcast would not be toyed around with.

624
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: of us. I don't know if I said on the

625
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: last podcast or not. But here's the only thing I

626
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: worry about when it comes to any type of um,

627
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: you know, situation in a parking lot or in a

628
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: bar where there's a disagreement. Patrack's go to his fisticuffs

629
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: every time he uses those two big meat hooks. He's

630
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: got a piecemaker like me around. I don't know, I mean,

631
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: I feel like you might. You guys can turn into

632
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: like the tag team champions of the Midwest. I'm my

633
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: my uh content ross uh. Fisticuffs days are over. You

634
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: don't think Patro will bring it out of you potentially? Nah?

635
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: What about you and Patrick getting into a fight that

636
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: I can see that a lot more. Patrick is a

637
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: good man. This one I don't vision. I'm looking forward

638
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,719
Speaker 1: to hearing about this, this trip together. You guys are

639
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: an interesting pairing. It could be like the perfect mix,

640
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: or it could be oil and vinegar. It could go

641
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: either direction. We've hung out before, just the two of us,

642
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: Patrick and I, and we had a We had a

643
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: good time. Maybe too much fun, that's what we're saying. Well,

644
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: I think I found the only person I know who

645
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: complains more than I do. Alright, Thursday Night preview, let's

646
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: talk about the Thursday night games real quick. Kevin wrote

647
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: this piece. Um, I'm just gonna go through it here.

648
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: Broncos at k C, all right, give me a letter grade, Greg,

649
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: all right for each of these, but you gotta be quick, rapid,

650
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: fire ready. Broncos at Casey, Redskins at Giants, see Ravens

651
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: at Steelers, Colts of Texans, B minus. All right, we're

652
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: switching over to Mark now Falcons at Saints BP solid

653
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: B B B B, Seahawks at Niners A minus doc

654
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: and the Patriots B plus, Browns at Bengals, switching over

655
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: to West Bills at Jets, to two teams without quarterbacks. No,

656
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: thank you, Titans, your stupid Titans and Taguars. He got

657
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: the terrible part of the sleep This is great. Vikings

658
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: at Cardinals B B plus. Come on, Bucks and Rams

659
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: d rams. That's automatically less than to see if you're

660
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: playing in that mausoleum we get. I don't. I don't

661
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: even have to guess what this one is. Week fifteen

662
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: Jets at Cowboys C plus wows the night previous schedule

663
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: more a terrible idea. What I can't wait to hear

664
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: from the shadowy league figures in that one? What are

665
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: the grades? I didn't exact. I didn't think we're getting

666
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: f bombs all over the place. Anyways, they find it funny.

667
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: I like. One of the things I like about the

668
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: Thursday night schedule are the Saturday game back once again.

669
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: If you remember last year, we had a double header

670
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: late in the season. This year, no double header, but

671
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: two Saturday games, including Jets at Cowboys. That's a Saturday game,

672
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: and you love left off Chargers Raiders. That's a Christmas

673
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: Eve game, so you know, you bring the family around

674
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: and settle in for a little Philip Rivers and Derek

675
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: carr at which means, uh, the final game there Redskins Eagle.

676
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: I guess that's actually a Thursday game. Redskins Eagles is

677
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: on a Saturday. So Christmas on a Friday, Chris, there's

678
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: NFL games Christmas Eve and NFL game the day after

679
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: Christmas and then the full slatest Sunday games. This is

680
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: your message to tell us, basically, well, war in your families.

681
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: It's gonna be that that kind of year. It's going

682
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: to be that kind It's only one game, you know,

683
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: War in your Families. Actually you have to talk to

684
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: my wife about this. Well we have Christmas off. I'll

685
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,479
Speaker 1: take you off Chargers Raiders like one day couch between

686
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: like five days of madness. All right, finally, um, revenge,

687
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,479
Speaker 1: best serve call, best serve called Mark. You of course

688
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: wrote the revenge piece last year, opened with who's the

689
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:25,879
Speaker 1: quote from Frederick NICI. I'm looking at that piece today

690
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: and I had no memory. I thought to myself when

691
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: I checked out Mark's post him last year, what if

692
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: I just put the nice quote up there again and

693
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,919
Speaker 1: just rolled with the same intro, and you know, see

694
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: if anyone noticed, including Mark. But as I might as

695
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: well write my own. But alright, so here's some revenge games,

696
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: and revenge is, as West previously stated, best served ditch.

697
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:51,439
Speaker 1: I'll start with the right off the top. This one's

698
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: more team Packers were Seahawks. I was bummed out. I

699
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: think we were talking about this, Greg and an NFL

700
00:34:56,080 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: Now hit we did this week. Uh we the Packers

701
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: and Seahawks are playing. We didn't know when they were playing.

702
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: We're kind of hoping maybe put it later in the

703
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: season where the Steaks are feeling their stakes are bigger,

704
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: not but they're stuck in a week two. So I

705
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,439
Speaker 1: hate that that was a little odd Sunday night game

706
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: that was your right there, and you sold it still

707
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: on national TV. It's fun game, and obviously it's gonna

708
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: get mega ratings and everything, so it's not like that

709
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: was an obvious Smith step, But it would have been

710
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:23,919
Speaker 1: cool to see it a little later. But then again,

711
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: we might end up seeing them in January again. So

712
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: selfishly though, I don't like the good games on Sunday,

713
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: the great games on Sunday night, because ultimately that's the

714
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: game we are too busy to really pay really close

715
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: attention to. That's selfish, But earlier the season, I hate that.

716
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: You know, these are going to be the two best teams,

717
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: but that's what the NFL wants to do. They want

718
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 1: to knock them down a little bit. Here's the here's

719
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: the difference. Obviously, the Packers lost their first and last

720
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: game in Seattle last year, the second on which probably

721
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 1: the worst lost in lost in franchise history. This time

722
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: in lambeau Field, so it's gonna be uh, the challenge

723
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: will be on the Seahawks more than anything. Packers want

724
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: to to know there last year, Uh you know the

725
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: sea how it's just just for a second to talk

726
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 1: the first two weeks in St. Louis and then in

727
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: Green Bay, just saying that's that's a tough drinking that

728
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: less sneed kool aid. I'm just saying, that's a tough

729
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: two game. That's a tough start to the season. Two road,

730
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: two tough road games with the almost the entire defensive

731
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: backfield coming off major injuries, right, I mean they've struggled

732
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: in St. Louis even at the best time. Just saying

733
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: that is a tough two game Nick Foles against the

734
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: Legion of Boom. I don't know advantage. Uh, Andre Johnson

735
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 1: did the did the badass move? Where you your team

736
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: that's scorned you, you go sign with another team in

737
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: the division so you get to you know, I was

738
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: going to use the B word TV, but because I

739
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: respect you, uh, you know, he wants to hose the

740
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: texts gonna toy around with the Texans. Twice he got

741
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: some in Week five and week fifteen, so that would

742
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: be interesting. Andre Johnson, who basically got cut after Bill

743
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: O'Brien said hey, you're gonna have a role about fifty

744
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: of what it once was and not. Johnson said, no, man,

745
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: I'm Andre Johnson. I'm still the man. That's basically when

746
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: that's the transcript from that comer I was listening in.

747
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 1: I was in the office. Man. He's taking a different

748
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: tax from Steve Smith. He has not predicted blood and

749
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: guts everywhere. He said he's not really upset with the Texans,

750
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,479
Speaker 1: but I have a feeling he's gonna have a pretty

751
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: big chip on his shoulder, especially if the owner came

752
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: out and publicly said that Andre Johnson wouldn't acknowledge losing

753
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: a step. I'm not even certain I've ever heard Andrew

754
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: Johnson speak. He's got a deep voice. He would be

755
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 1: a great guy to do those money interests. Got the

756
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: nice Barrett I mean swing, Oh, yes, of course. But

757
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: of course, don't you just think, Plus, he's playing with

758
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck Now, don't you just think he's playing with

759
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback for the first time and then celebrating all

760
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: offseason because of that. He's smart. He's going to crush

761
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: the Texas so smart. He's signed with a Super Bowl

762
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: contender and the best young quarterback in football. I bet

763
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: he has a big year. To Marco Murray versus the

764
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys against same situation, uh, he gets to face his

765
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 1: former team twice and we two in Week nine and again.

766
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 1: Uh in in my opinion, uh, the Cowboys made a mistake.

767
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,439
Speaker 1: They didn't They didn't give DeMarco Murray enough respect after

768
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: the one offensive player of the year and carried that team.

769
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: What was the big difference between all those eight and

770
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: eight finishes and twelve and four is that Marco Murray.

771
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I thought he was awesome and they

772
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: should have kept them around. They didn't, and now he

773
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 1: gets to stick it to him. Wasn't he on those

774
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: eight and eight teams though? Well he was banged, but

775
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: it was when they changed their philosophy a little bit

776
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: and built the offense around him. Just saying, what are

777
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:32,919
Speaker 1: you smirking at they did their offense? Their offense wasn't

778
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 1: changed at all last year. They were much better, were

779
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: mr smirk? Were they more run heavy? Like? I was

780
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: just laughing at their reaction. I'm just saying they were great,

781
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,919
Speaker 1: they were the best. When they depend more, they were better.

782
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: And now they get him out of town. Now I don't.

783
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 1: I don't think. I'm just saying he was on the

784
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: team then those other years that you said it was

785
00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 1: the difference. I'm glad that game is early fired. Great game.

786
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: If we fire the Boss National game on Fox, that's good.

787
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to that game. I love anything NFC

788
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: East as you know. For you to you, Dan, you

789
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: have been assigned that game, the earliest designing of a game.

790
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to it. Um, we'll stick with the

791
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: and an NFC East team. Shady McCoy, Lashawn McCoy. This one, well,

792
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: this one is like has a lot of heat on it.

793
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: He got traded to the Bills and a surprise move

794
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: and really a stunning move right at the dawn of

795
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,720
Speaker 1: free agency this year. So the Bills and the Eagles

796
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 1: square off in Week fourteen, and do you think there'll

797
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: be a lot of talk going into that game. No,

798
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll don't be a lot of attention

799
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: on Sean McCoy. He's the jilted lover of the NFL

800
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: this offseason. He doesn't doesn't shut up, and you know

801
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 1: you could in his defense, he was a great player

802
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: for the Eagles and they basically kicked them out of town,

803
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: said you don't make us better. So he's let him

804
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,439
Speaker 1: know that he thinks. He even said that he thought

805
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: that DeMarco and Ryan Matthews signings were a quote panic move.

806
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: So what a heat plus. You know, if they're playing

807
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: well at that time of year, Rex, Ryan's gonna be

808
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 1: honking about how the Eagles should be sad that they

809
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: let He's one of the only coaches that likes to

810
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 1: get into this into this mix to kind of boost

811
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: up his player and no point around with the Eagles. Well,

812
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 1: the Bills are a quick aside. Well, the Bills being

813
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: playoff contention at that point. Yes, week fourteen, definitely, I

814
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: think yeah, for a wild card, I think they'll be

815
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 1: the mixed okay, right there? Yeah? Me? How about this, Greg,

816
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: how about a little Patriots wants some revenge and Darrell Reevus?

817
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,479
Speaker 1: Do they really week seven and week sixteen, the higher

818
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: gun who helped him get a Lombardi Trophy? Well, I

819
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 1: don't think Revus should be looking for well, that's a

820
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 1: fair point, and I definitely don't think that Revas should

821
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: be looking for revenge on the Patriots. They paid them millions,

822
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: let him re establish his market value, and then got

823
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: him a ring. But the Patriots maybe like, oh, not

824
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 1: only did you not maybe give us a little discount

825
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,760
Speaker 1: to stay in town after all we did for you,

826
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: you went and signed back with the Jets and all

827
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: that stuff. I think everyone won here and this maybe

828
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: this deal and they're about to hang out at the

829
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: White House, right aren't they? He is going the White House,

830
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: that's true. Surprised they put this game at one one o'clock.

831
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: But maybe the revenge here is Bill Belichick versus everyone

832
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: that wrote their secondary was going to fall apart without

833
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: drrel Revus. He he tries to find motivation in anything.

834
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 1: And so you know, we didn't win, just won a

835
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 1: lot of games. About that's Mariota. What about the idea

836
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: of maybe Belichick getting a little frisky and going after Revus.

837
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: I like that some revenge and yeah, revenge watch Brandon

838
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: Lafeul torch him. I would literally kill myself. I wouldn't

839
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 1: bank on that. Uh. Speaking of the Jets, Rex Ryan

840
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: versus the Jets again, two matchups Week ten in week

841
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: seventeen in NFL definitely made short of leverage this one.

842
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 1: The first matchup is a Thursday night football matchup week

843
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: and and I can imagine Rex Ryan's press conferences that

844
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: week will be aired live on NFL network. That would

845
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: be my guests, I'm gonna thrown out already teasing it. Well,

846
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: and if the company man I like it. If we're

847
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: not buying Belichick Reeva's heat, you don't have to sell

848
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: Rex because what he said over the weekend, I mean,

849
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: he is clearly agitated with the Jets, and he's not

850
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 1: holding back and he has no edit button. Well, Jason Barrow,

851
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 1: at least he was really upset that this rookie came

852
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: out and UH said that guy's relax the days going

853
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 1: being late, he didn't think he thought he was out

854
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: of line. And then another player came out and said

855
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: tardiness wasn't probably Willie Cologne. I'm just saying. And and

856
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 1: then so after that Thursday night game week ten, then

857
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 1: they bring him back and Week seventeen the two teams play.

858
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: So for any optimistic Bills fans and Jets fans that

859
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: think that they're gonna be in the mix, could be

860
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: an elimination game in a best case scenario. So they

861
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: really lined that up very well. How about the Redskins

862
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,439
Speaker 1: in Week fourteen going against what will then be their

863
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: former coach, Jay Gruden has been hired as a consultant.

864
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: See that revenge game is not in a good position. UH.

865
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:10,760
Speaker 1: Final the last one I got here a little Johnny

866
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: Fox Johnny Fox UH coaching against the Broncos in week eleven.

867
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: Four years John Foxes and Denver four division titles, one

868
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,959
Speaker 1: Super Bowl trip. UH. And yet John Elway famously said

869
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: in his first UH news conference after that they split,

870
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 1: they parted ways, that the they disagreed how to get

871
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: to the next level, which is a little twist of

872
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 1: the knife. I thought by Elway unnecessarily Foxy wants to

873
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: show him. I'm gonna toy you with you and I'm

874
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: gonna hose you. Oh. Mike Cliffs, who I like really

875
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: like a lot, who writes for the Denver Post, said

876
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,760
Speaker 1: in the first day of the Kubiak era, when everyone

877
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,879
Speaker 1: was meeting with the media, what a what a necessary

878
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: change of culture it is around here? You can already

879
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 1: tell in in day one, and I thought, wait, where

880
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: where were you last year? I didn't hear anyone reporting

881
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:06,879
Speaker 1: or talking about that there needed to be some culture change.

882
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 1: What was that? Never spoken about that way? I think

883
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: the Fox was one of the ammy will coaches in

884
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:12,760
Speaker 1: the league. I want to know what the real story

885
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: is then there must be I don't know, they just

886
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: want what is this was? It was the culture fine

887
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 1: before Peyton Manning heard his you know, broke down physically

888
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: to the last year. It feels like that was the

889
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,800
Speaker 1: biggest issue, right. I feel like too many people, including

890
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: Chris Wesley, giving up on the Denver broncos. Wait, I

891
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: got sandwiches on the line against damask Oh, he predicts

892
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 1: he has Broncos did not make the playoffs. That Peyton

893
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: Manning starts for them, and I have they will make

894
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: the dan Where is Johnny Manzel coming back into Cincinnati

895
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,760
Speaker 1: and saying, listen, Marvin Lewis, you don't call me a mitchet.

896
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 1: I'm coming back around. Who's shot Manzel? All right? Primetime

897
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: game against Andy Dalton. There are worst places to be

898
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: for the Browns. That is an annual NFL Network game.

899
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: Brown's Bengals right in the middle of the season. They

900
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: do seem to do it every year. You know what

901
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: they should have done, West, They should have put they

902
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: should have taken it out to the wild card round

903
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 1: and just eliminated the Bangles there too. West of this,

904
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,399
Speaker 1: just skip the whole season ten and six. You're gonna

905
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: be the five seed. Everyone in the a f C

906
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: is angling for that four seeds so they get the

907
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,879
Speaker 1: free by West of this is coming every day takes

908
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: us close. I fell doesn't have to schedule that. The

909
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: Bengals take care of themselves. West. I'll give you the

910
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: final word on the schedule release two thousand fifteen. I
