This is not one of those days. 35 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: This is great. This is a finger licking good is 36 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: what it is. So the owner of the NFL team 37 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: in New York that somehow, being in New York still 38 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: can't win. This is so good. I help you. Maybe 39 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: you heard about maybe not so. Woody Johnson speaking at 40 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: some NFL like owners get together there, he showed support 41 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: for the embattled head coach who's drowning every week. Aaron 42 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: Glenn doesn't appear to know what the hell he's doing 43 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: as coach in the NFL. The Jets are all in seven. 44 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: But there was a vote of confidence for Aaron Glenn 45 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: from Woody Johnson. However, however, in doing so, what do 46 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: you think happened? That's right, dan Na nay name Woody 47 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: Johnson decided to throw his starting quarterback under the team 48 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: bus of the Jets. And it was magical. It was glorious, 49 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: and we've got the audio tape. Listen to Woody Johnson. 50 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: This is an owner of a multi billion dollar NFL 51 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: franchise unloading while defending his coach, unloading on his starting quarterback. 52 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: Tagle is it looks like he's turning around parts of it. 53 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 1: You know, it's hard when you have a quarterback with 54 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: you know, with a rating that we've got, you know, 55 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: I mean, he has the ability, but something just is 56 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: not jiving. But if you any any head coach of 57 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: a quarterback like that, you're going to see similar results 58 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: if you will across the league. You have to play 59 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: consistently at that position, and that's what we're going to 60 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: try to do. Hope we can just complete a pass. 61 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: It would look good. You got to complete some patty. 62 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: You got to convince him that you can do something. Oh, 63 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: it's so great. Something is not jiping. So great? All right, 64 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: Let us discuss where are the Justin Fields truthers out there? 65 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: Then he justin Fooh yeah, we talk about this guy 66 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: a lot because he's a quarterback. We talked football, and 67 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: for years I would do monologues unloading on Justin Fields, 68 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: and I would have some Dingleberry who you just don't 69 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: know what you're talking about? Yeah, that whole thing. So 70 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 1: that's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the 71 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: question did Jets owner Woody Johnson cross the line? Did 72 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: he cross over the rubicon with his criticism of quarterback 73 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: Justin Fields. So on this one, I've got Kowala, Lion King, 74 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: and cool Mint, and we will combine all of these 75 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: things together and we are going to have a pajama party, 76 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: is what we're going to have. So a Woody Johnson. 77 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: I love the fact that he didn't pull any punches. 78 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,799 Speaker 1: Of course, he happens to be the owner that signed 79 00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: off on paying Justin Fields. Hello, you were a mirror 80 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: on the wall. Who's the dumbest of them all? Uh? Yeah? 81 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: So I love that in defending the coach who doesn't 82 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: appear to know what he's doing, he used Justin Fields 83 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: as a punching bag. Buddy, blow, body blow, body blow, 84 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: if he can just complete a pass. One of the 85 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: great lines ever said in my time and talk radio 86 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: by an owner about his quarterback. Imagine it's we're heading 87 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: into week eight in the NFL and the owners like, 88 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: if our quarterback could just complete a pass? Where you 89 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: at Justin Fields? Truthers, who are you gonna blame now? 90 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 2: Right? 91 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: You blame the Bears, bad coaching in Chicago, went to Pittsburgh, 92 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: good coaching didn't work out. Now you're in New York. 93 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: What are you gonna blame the coach again? What's the 94 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: move here? Let me go to the bag of excuses 95 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: for Justin Fields. That is so great. If that is 96 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: not a billboard from Woody Johnson saying I hate my quarterback. 97 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: Quarterback blows. I don't know what is. I do not 98 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: know what else that is. It's shocking because it's so abnormal. 99 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: And I've complained about this in ninety nine percent of 100 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: the time. We come in here and we all see 101 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: something that's rather obvious and we get gas you know, 102 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: people gaslight us and they're like, oh, let me tell 103 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: you something. You're you're wrong, what you're it's ridiculous, And 104 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: so it's unusual which stands out. It's man bites dog. 105 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: It's that kind of thing, and it's not wrong though, 106 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: it's not wrong at all. Justin Fields has been a 107 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: sixteen car pile up on the interstate. And when you 108 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: watch the Jets play and not a Jets fan, I 109 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: know there's a guy in here earlier is a Jets fan, Jason. 110 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: You watch the Jets play and you're not a fan, 111 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: you're a rubbernecker. It's like and even like the we're 112 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 1: all lookie loser, like, well that's man, that's a really 113 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: bad accident. Oh my god, Oh my goodness. I mean, 114 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: how many ambulances is gonna get a helicopter out here 115 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: and pick the people back to the hospital? How bad 116 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: is it? Justin Fields is the thirtieth ranked passer in 117 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: the NFL. There are thirty two teams that again I 118 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: didn't play in the NFL. I don't think that's particularly good. 119 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: Oh you're being too mean. What else? A tied for 120 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: second most sacks in the league. Because he moves. Here's 121 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: the problem with Justin Fields, and we figured this out 122 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: right away with the Bears. He moves like a koala 123 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: bear who's clinging to a eucalyptus tree and just eating 124 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: a nice meal. And that's justin fields. Unfortunately, when you 125 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: watch the NFL game in particular, it's read and react. 126 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: It's hot potato. It's get the ball, get rid of 127 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: the ball quickly, right you find the open player, get 128 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: rid of the ball. Boom. He's like, all right, I'm 129 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: gonna read the defense and then I'm gonna take a 130 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: nice nap. I'm gonna have a nice nap, is what 131 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: I'm going to do. He's got four passing touchdowns. We're 132 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: almost into week eight in the NFL. He's got four 133 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: passing touchdoes. That's not just bad, this is unwatchable. And 134 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: I loved again, Woody Johnson, Woody Woodpecker loved his honesty there. 135 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: That's the naked truth. It just is. And most people 136 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: that are like, oh, every time the Jets get it. Course, 137 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: I was just talking to something in the hallway about 138 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: the way every time the Jets changed quarterbacks, it's like, oh, 139 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: this is the guy. Oh we got the guy, We 140 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: got the guy. Uh yeah. If you want a guy 141 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: to be in the cockpit of the vomit comet, you've 142 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: got the guy. And if it looks like trash, smells 143 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: like trash, plays like trash, probably trash, probably trash. So 144 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: the Jets have been running a dumb down, caveman offense 145 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: to try to prop up Justin Fields, and it's still 146 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: not working. So you run a rudimentary offense, it's still 147 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: not working. And so yeah, wood he basically said what 148 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,719 Speaker 1: everyone who's watched Justin Fields play quarterback already know. He 149 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: did have like one good game against Pittsburgh. They still lost. 150 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: You've got the rookie head coach, Aaron Glenn who's winless. 151 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: You've got Woody praising him like he's Vince Lombardi. Lombardi 152 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: would have lost, Bill Walsh, Belichick, all these guys would 153 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: have lost. And first Glenn. Again, Glenn hasn't been an 154 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn has not been any better than Justin Fields. 155 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: It's just that Woody Johnson likes him because Aaron Glenn 156 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: played so long ago that he actually was on some 157 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: Jets teams that were halfway decent. Now, as for the 158 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: future free agents that are gonna come to the Jets, 159 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 1: this idea, Wow, no one's gonna want to play for 160 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: the Jets now because Woody Johnson threw his quarterback under 161 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: the team bus. Please please, it's come on. Are you 162 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: really that naive? Are you that gullible? Don't don't do that. 163 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: You offer the most money, you get the player. It's 164 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: not that hard. You offer the money, you get the player. 165 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 1: And Woody Johnson got a little spicy at a presser. 166 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: Oh my god, Oh my god. Money always talks. And 167 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: the guys that do want to play in New York, 168 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: it's great. You don't have to worry about having to 169 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: work extra and going to the playoffs and all that. 170 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: You play for the Jets of the Giants, and you 171 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: don't just don't worry about it. You're good. You don't 172 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: have to play football after the season ends in January. 173 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: You have to worry about playing football in the late 174 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: January and February. And that's it. And the Jets. I 175 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: figured it out when I was driving in here. I 176 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: figured out that the Jets might as well be part 177 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: of the Marvel cinematic universe. It's very simple. Like they 178 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: make these Marvel movies now, they don't even care about 179 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: the quality. They all suck, right. It's the same storylines 180 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: we've all seen, just repackaged here. It's just different actors. 181 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: The Jets. It's the same suck. But it's just they 182 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: changed the players and that's it. And the costumes are 183 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: still the same. That they play the Yeah, the cosplay 184 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: on the field and all that's still the same. Different 185 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: actors now outside of Justin Fields. Turning the page though, 186 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: another spicy hot comment from Woody Johnson. He was on 187 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: fight this guy, get a sports talk radio show at 188 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: the Fan in New York. Get Woody Johnson a job 189 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 1: there in here. So the Jets owner also was asked 190 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: whether or not he had any second thoughts the fact 191 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: that the Jets had Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers wanted to stay there, 192 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: was treated rather rudely by Aaron Glenn, who thought he 193 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: was better than everyone else and handpicked Justin Fields as 194 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: his quarterback. And now Aaron Rodgers is a top ten 195 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 1: quarterback in Pittsburgh and the Steelers have a good record, 196 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: and so Woody Johnson was asked about that. He's had 197 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 1: to quote, I have no regrets, he said, he said, 198 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: I never look back. You have to look forward in football, 199 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: and even when you cut players, they could be a 200 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: Hall of famer. You just never know, he said. But 201 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: Aaron's playing great now He's in a situation that's working 202 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: for him. Close quote. All right, So question on this one. 203 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: What does this say about Woody Johnson's ownership of the Jets. 204 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 1: He's like, not even a little, like, maybe we should 205 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: have kept that guy. He's better than the guy we picked. 206 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,719 Speaker 1: Maybe he should have kept him. So this is the 207 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: never admit you're wrong strategy by Woody Johnson, very popular, 208 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: and the never look back mantra is exactly why the 209 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: Jets continue continue to step on the same rake like 210 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: a vaudevillian comedy. And they've been doing that every decade 211 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 1: of my life. It's fascinating. It's a complete encompetence. And 212 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 1: I would recommend that the Jets study the Lion King. 213 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,599 Speaker 1: I learned as a as a young lad watching The 214 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: Lion King Rafiki taught me that the past can hurt, 215 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: but you can either run from it or learn from it. 216 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: The Jets have chosen that they never want to look back, 217 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: and they have chosen to keep flying and go full 218 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: throttle the other direction right into the tornado, right into 219 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: the tornado, which they don't recommend, and thus is the problem. 220 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: So you're supposed to learn from your mistakes. I'm supposed 221 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: to learn from your mistakes and not just powerwash over 222 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: them and just scrub a dub dub and use some 223 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: kind of word salad, some corporate word salad thing, and 224 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,319 Speaker 1: it's just living in the Bermuda triangle. For quarterbacks. The 225 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: coaches change, the general managers change, the players change, and 226 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: the results are the same. It's where you go if 227 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: your quarterback, you go to die here at the radio station. 228 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: There's a piece of metal that goes into the old 229 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: studio and that is the killing fields for the cockroaches. 230 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: That is where they choose to die. They go there 231 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: and they crawl, the little critters and they just die. 232 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: That's where they die. If you're a quarterback to the Jets, 233 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: you go play quarterback for the Jets and you die 234 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: right there. Florham Park is the name of the facility there, 235 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: and that's it. Every quarterback they get, we've turned the corner. 236 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: Now this guy will be different. We know the talking 237 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: points because they happen every couple of years when the 238 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: Jets change quarterbacks and the same old fungus grows there. 239 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: Of course, technically nothing grows at the Jets facility other 240 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: than mold, regret and a lot of losing a lot 241 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: of losing. By the way, just for the record, Aaron 242 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: Rodgers and Sam even Sam Darnold are technically top ten 243 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the NFL, So even when they get a 244 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: guaranteed Hall of Famer, they suck with the Jets. It's 245 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: wo He's really operating a graveyard where you go there 246 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: and that's it. It's perfect for Halloween. It's a haunted 247 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: house with turf, and they share it with the Giants, 248 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: who also have their own misery, their own misery index 249 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: over there. And so you want to turn a star 250 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: into dust, put a Jets logo on their helmet. All 251 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: of a sudden they turn to dust. All right, anyway, 252 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: the last word, speaking of Tony to dust, we go 253 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: to Houston. We go to Houston now where Texans coach 254 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: Demico Ryans being called out another pathetic performance by the 255 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: Houston football team. And wonder where all those people that 256 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: were kissing CJ. Stroud's ass are. They're in hiding typical cowards. 257 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: So Demiko Ryans was asked whether or not there will 258 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: be any changes because they suck on offense. He said 259 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: he has no plans, no plans to change offensive coordinators 260 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: despite the horrific performance under Nick Kyley, the offensive coordinator 261 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: there in houstonquestion is how do you decode? How do 262 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: you decode? Demiko Ryan's the head coach. They're standing by, 263 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: standing by the Texans offensive coordinator. So this is obviously 264 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: it's coach speak. One oh one from Demiko Rans you 265 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: can go to sports clichede dot com. Now what I 266 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: did is I used my cracker Jack Dakoder ring that 267 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: I got as a child, and it means from Dimico 268 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: that we were stuck with the same crappy quarterback that 269 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: we've had. So please stop asking me about this. I 270 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: feel uncomfortable. It's the corporate corporate mission statement, the corporate 271 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: mission statement, which is not really an answer. It's an 272 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: answer non answer situation that you know, we're all in 273 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: this together. We win as a team and we lose 274 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: as a team and all that stuff. And it's like 275 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: something that you would put on some kind of motivational 276 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: sign with an eagle, like a bald eagle, and you 277 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: hang it in the lobby of your building and say, 278 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: all right, this is our motivational message. Meanwhile, the offense 279 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: is flatlining like it's an EKG machine. At this is 280 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: so bad. It is and let's talk about the hippopotamus 281 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: in the room. The hippopotamus in the room. The problem 282 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 1: is the quarterback. This is an Okham's razor situation. The 283 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: simplest answer is the proper answer. You don't have to 284 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: dig that deep. They've already changed coordinators in Houston. They've 285 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 1: already done that. Last year, they did that, and they 286 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: can change again. They can make another change. They can 287 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: change the font that they use in the playbook. They 288 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: can burn sage. That'll make Andrea in Berkeley very happy. 289 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: They can burn sage in the locker room. And it's 290 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: not going to matter. It's not gonna matter if CJ. 291 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 1: Stroud is going to play like this. I everyone was 292 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: sold on the sizzle, the razzle, dazzle from that rookie season. 293 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: Well we're pretty far removed now from the rookie season. 294 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: And c J. Stroud who was billed and they said, hey, 295 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: listen to this guy's the savior. He is a fire 296 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 1: breathing dragon. We heard all that, and you know what 297 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: he's got right now. He is a dragon, but he's 298 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,360 Speaker 1: a drag. He's got dragon breath is what he has, 299 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: and he needs that. He needs that cool mint listering 300 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: because he's got halatosis is what he's got here. And 301 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: Stroud has got the same quarterback rating as Justin Fields. 302 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: Keep in mind the owner we just did. I did 303 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 1: ten minutes on the Jets owner, Woody Johnson ripping Justin 304 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: Fields for sucking c J. Stroud has the exact same 305 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: quarterback rating as Justin Fields. Hello, the Texans like, okay, 306 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 1: we can't bench this guy. We got to continue to 307 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: play him and all this stuff and fields of force 308 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 1: was taken out of the last Jets game there and 309 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: has just been called out by his owner. That deserves 310 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 1: a gadzooks with a capital G. And last year, remember 311 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: Bobby Slowick slowk the offensive coordinator last year was tossed 312 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 1: under the team bus there he was running the show. Now, 313 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: last season, the Texans were bad offensive. They averaged twenty 314 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: one point nine points per game, three hundred and twenty 315 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 1: yards per game. So they said that's not good enough. 316 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: We've got to get rid of the offensive coordinat they 317 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: canned his ass. So they brought in this guy, Nick Kaylee, 318 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,959 Speaker 1: who's got a good reputation. I think he's had stops 319 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: with the Patriots. He's bounced around on the NFL a 320 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: little bit, and how did that go well this year? 321 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: What if I told you the Texans are worse in 322 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: both points per game and yards per game. They're averaging 323 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: fewer points per game and they're averaging sixteen yards less 324 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: per game as the crow flies? So is that progress? 325 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: Out of what do I know? Just do an overnight show. 326 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: I don't think that's progress. But my god, that is 327 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: stagnation and and a side of regression. He's what that 328 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: is there.

Lately, it's gotten a little bit better. 374 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: At DeVante Adams traded last year. That was kind of cool. 375 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: Didn't work out for the Jets team making a move 376 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: with a name brand player. We've had some other name 377 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: brand players traded in recent years. So with that being said, 378 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: the news out of Lost Wages, Nevada, and that is 379 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: where we will begin. If you have not heard yet, 380 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 1: there were rumors bubbling up, bubbling up about the Dallas 381 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: Cowboys being on the prowl and they wanted Max Crosby. 382 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: They wanted Max Crosby, and they were pursuing Max Crosby 383 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: in a trade. Well, now we have learned that the 384 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: Raiders met with Max Crosby, star edge rusher, and they 385 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: let him know, we are not shopping you, Max, and 386 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: we are not going to trade you. This comes from 387 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: the prob the news service of the NFL state sponsored 388 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: NFL network. They report that the Raiders are not interested, 389 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: we are not interested in moving Max Crosby. He's the 390 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: top player on the Raiders, and Crosby wants to stay 391 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 1: as a loser apparently likes losing, wants to stay with 392 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: the Raiders, enjoys not having to worry about playing in 393 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: the playoffs and things like that. So that is a 394 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. Does 395 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: this Raiders seal of approval and it's the rubber stamped 396 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: it the seal of approval? Does this mean that Max 397 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: Crosby is absolutely one thousand percent staying with the Raiders. 398 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: All right, So on this one, I've got Civil War 399 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: four seasons and gift basket, and we will combine all 400 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: of these things together and with the biscuit in the 401 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: basket is what we're going to do. So number one 402 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: got it, gott he So this does not change anything 403 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: unless you're naive. Well, the Raiders said they weren't going 404 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 1: to trade him, and if they said they're not going 405 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: to trade him, they're not going to trade him, and 406 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: all that's, oh my god, all the Raiders said, and 407 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: all the story was that they leaked. The story that 408 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: was leaked was we aren't shopping Max Crosby. It's not 409 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: that if somebody calls us up and is the Godfather offer, 410 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: make him an offer he can't refuse, then all of 411 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,360 Speaker 1: a sudden, Max Crosby is changing his laundry and going 412 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: somewhere else. So it's a nice little sentiment to send out. 413 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: The Raiders didn't say we're not trading Crosby. They're just 414 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: said we're not trading him unless somebody blows the doors 415 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: off the building and wants him traded. The price tags 416 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: pretty high. The price tag's pretty high, and that's just 417 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: a sales pitch. It's like, well, we don't want to 418 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: trade this person at all. And so Max Crosby. If 419 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: you keep it real, that's all we do is keep 420 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: it really. The guy is the ethos of the Raiders. 421 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 1: He just is right. He's got the look, he's got 422 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: the attitude, he's got the tats, the black hole energy, 423 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: all that stuff. When you think of the Raiders, the 424 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: old Raiders, back when they were good, you gotta be old. 425 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 1: And now think about that. You gotta be like an 426 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: old dude to know that the Raiders were good. How 427 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: pathetic is that? How much does that suck? That the 428 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: Raiders haven't been relevant in almost an entire generation. They 429 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: don't like the Dallas Cowboys. Cowboys are over a generation. 430 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 1: The Raiders aren't far behind that rich cannon Raider team. 431 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: And then, of course we know what happened in the 432 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: Super Bowl there didn't go so well. But back to 433 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: Max Crosby. So Crosby's got the look, he's right out 434 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: of Central Casting, and he's got that whole attitude. However, 435 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 1: if you think about this objectively, if the goal is 436 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: to win it, keep in mind that we like to 437 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: talk about everyone wants to win Super Bowls. It's an 438 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: ugly secret that not everyone really cares. They just want 439 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: to make a lot of money, and they want to 440 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: live in a city they like living in, and they 441 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: want to do their time, get in the pension plan 442 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 1: in the NFL, and just be done. So they're not 443 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: really that concerned about winning. But if let's just assume 444 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: Max Crosby is somebody that does want to win. I 445 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: need a win. I want to win. By the time 446 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 1: the Raiders are even remotely relevant, Max Crosby is going 447 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 1: to be like a Civil War relic, if you know 448 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: what I mean. He's twenty eight, I believe right now, Crosby, 449 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 1: He's a defensive end, not exactly a long shelf life. 450 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 1: It's just not This is not a canister of honey 451 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: that has an endless shelf life. There's no expiration date. Now, 452 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: this is bread. It's fresh bread, not slice bread. It's 453 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: fresh bread. And so that's it. And how many double 454 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: digit seasons will Max Crosby have four or five years 455 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: from now when the Raiders are actually possibly competitive. And 456 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, let's go back to Tom Brady. Tom Brady's 457 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: little silver and Black side hustle. How's that working out? Burn, Baby, Burn, 458 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: It's burning down right in front of our eyes. Thirty 459 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: one nothing lost the team quit on Pete Carroll. You 460 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: don't lose thirty one nothing if you're trying. And the 461 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: Chiefs called off the dogs earf they called them off. 462 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: Could have been worse, could have been worse. So that 463 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: is a gutlass football team. They've quit on their coach. 464 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 1: And that's under Tom Brady. That's under Tom Brady. Everything 465 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,360 Speaker 1: Tom Brady has touched since he got to Vegas has 466 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: turned to pooh. It just hands, not Pooh, Richardson, actual pooh. 467 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: From Pete Carroll the coach, the players quit on him, 468 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: Gino Smith, the quarterback who sucks. And they thought maybe 469 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: Brady thought this was twenty nineteen or something like that 470 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: or twenty twenty two. I don't know, but it's not. 471 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: And so you look at the Raiders right now from 472 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: thirty thousand feet in this guy, and you examine what's 473 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: going on there, and Brady has pulled off a masterclass. 474 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: He doesn't own the majority of the Raiders. He's been 475 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: given the de facto GM title where he's shadow running 476 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: the Raiders, which means if the Raiders are good, Brady 477 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: will get credit. If they're bad, he'll blame other people. 478 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: That spy tech guy, his buddy blame him, but the 479 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: Raiders are a great content machine, and Brady's been able 480 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: to light the franchise on fire, said Burn, Baby, Burn, 481 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: Like he's got a zippo and a can of gasoline 482 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: and just going for it. And if I'm the Lions, 483 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: let me just workshop this. If I'm the Detroit Lions 484 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: and I'm Dan Campbell and I'm all about biting knee 485 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: caps off and all that stuff every game. You look 486 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 1: at Crosby, He's a Michigan guy. Didn't go to University 487 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: of Michigan in Michigan State. He went to Eastern Michigan, 488 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: which is the ugly redheaded stepchild of the Michigan colleges. 489 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: Bring him back to Michigan. Who says, no, could you 490 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: imagine pu Max Crosby and Aiden Hutchinson together and the Lions. 491 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: This is the window of opportunity. 492 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 4: This is it. 493 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: This is the time for the Detroit Lions. So who 494 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: cares about first round draft picks? I trade a first 495 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: round draft pick and a conditional draft pick whatever to 496 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: get Max Crosby. Who wouldn't. My god, you put those 497 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: guys together and it's a championship or bust, And it's 498 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: that way Anyway, if you're a team like the Patriots 499 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,959 Speaker 1: and you're like, can we do a combo deal? Can 500 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: we trade for Max Crosby and get your Kobe Myers 501 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: and we'll trade you a couple of draft picks and 502 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: that'll be that. And you know, for sure, let's do it. 503 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: Let's make that happen. And so, by no means, just 504 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: because the Patriots said we are not shopping Max Crosby 505 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: doesn't mean he won't be traded. And if you don't 506 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: agree with me, you might want to go back a 507 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: few years ago. There was a player named Odell Beckham 508 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: and the general manager of the Giants, guy named Dave Gettleman, 509 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: sounds like he should be doing commercials for air conditioning, 510 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: and he said, we're not trading Odell Beckham. And then 511 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: they traded Ode Beckham to the Cleveland Browns, and yeah, 512 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: that worked out well for everyone involved. Now, speaking of 513 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers, but turning the page, but we don't turn 514 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: it that far. We keep it close to what we 515 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: were talking about. So Jacoby Myers was asked if he 516 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: still wants to be traded. You might remember before the season, 517 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: Myers let the world know he was not happy with 518 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: the Raiders. He didn't want to play with Gino Smith, 519 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: although he didn't say that, the implication was that he 520 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: doesn't like playing with Gino Smith, so he wanted out, 521 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: and he was asked to follow up the trade deadlines 522 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: less than two weeks away. All right, you make the call, 523 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers, do you still want to be traded? He said? 524 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: Two words for sure? 525 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 4: For sure? 526 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: Two words? So question, how should the Raiders handle Jacoby 527 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: Myers and his disgust with playing in Vegas? So this 528 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: is not a ballplayer that you must have. Can we 529 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: establish that as like the opening state, Yeah, he's a 530 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: nice player. Once a player goes public like that, very 531 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: rarely does it end nicely. Very rarely does it end nicely. 532 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: We all know that. And it sounds like a guy 533 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: that's just not engaged. You can't put the toothpaste back 534 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: in the tube, as we like to say in these parts. 535 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: You cannot do it. And so if the Raiders, I 536 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: guess they can try to coddle him, I wouldn't recommend 537 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: that they can try that. And don't give me the 538 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 1: fake group, Hug. I do not need the fake group, 539 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 1: Hug I died. Don't you just ship him out. It's 540 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: that's it. It's the four seasons. Bye bye baby from 541 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: the four seasons. And Myers is not a cornerstone. He's not. 542 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: He's a good player, he's a good receiver, he's a 543 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: solid NFL receiver. He's on a bad team. It's not needed. 544 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 1: You don't. It's like, you know, having no money and 545 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: eating rob and noodles all the time and spending a 546 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: couple grand on golf clubs. You really don't need that. 547 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 1: You really don't need that. You know what I'm saying, 548 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: You just don't. So you're at a fork in the road. 549 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: You're at a turning point. And if you're the Raiders, 550 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: you know, it's like again if Jacobe Meyer's running drag 551 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: roots from from Geno Smith. Uh, just everything's toxic. You know, 552 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: a team like the Patriots would would give you something 553 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: which is not. I'm not the draft pick guy. I'm 554 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: the wrong talk show host. If you love draft picks 555 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: and you get your pants down because the draft picks, 556 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: I'm not that guy. I don't really care about Jeffies. 557 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: But if the guy's not happy, it's like who cares. 558 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 1: You can suck with him, you can suck without him. 559 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:37,479 Speaker 1: So it doesn't matter, all right, now final point? Quick right, quick, right, 560 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 1: all right, we go to the NBA. I am told 561 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: by sources close to the situation that the NBA season 562 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: is underway. The flag is up on the NBA season. 563 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: And I did watch some of these games. I didn't 564 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 1: think either one of the games rose to the level 565 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: of a Mallard monologue. So we will tell you the 566 00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: thunder squeezed by the rock it's your classic NBA game 567 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: where Houston played really well. Was in control, not in control. 568 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 1: They had the lead for the first like two and 569 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: a half quarters of the game, and the Rockets worked 570 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: their way back. They went to overtime, and then they 571 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 1: went to another overtime and Shay Jogis Alexander scored twenty 572 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 1: four points in the fourth quarter and in overtime. We 573 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: are told that is the most points by any NBA 574 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 1: player in the fourth quarter and overtime in a season 575 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: opener this century. So it's been a minute, it's been 576 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:38,800 Speaker 1: a minute. How did Kevin Durantu pretty quiet twenty three points? 577 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,840 Speaker 1: He only scored nine points in the second half and 578 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: in the overtimes combined, that's it nine. So nine of 579 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 1: his twenty three points game in the second half and 580 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: overtime at fourteen and a half time finished with twenty 581 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,760 Speaker 1: three points. I'm told that's not good. And the Golden 582 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 1: State Warriors beating the bad guys. Good job by the 583 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 1: Warriors that beat the Lakers. Always love when the Lakers lose. 584 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: Good day for basketball fans there when the Lakers lose. 585 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 1: Lebron didn't play. He's probably read reading that Malcolm X 586 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,240 Speaker 1: book or watching The Godfather, so he didn't play. Jimmy Butler? 587 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: Is there anything more entertaining the watching a man stoot 588 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 1: foul shots sixteen of sixteen from the charity stripe for 589 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler and he got it done from the charity 590 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,880 Speaker 1: strip Now Luca had forty three points the Lakers lose. 591 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: How did DeAndre Ayton do? Mid season form? For DeAndre? 592 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,399 Speaker 1: Eighton your classic stat line for DeAndre eaton the guy 593 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:34,320 Speaker 1: that's incompetent at basketball, ten point six rebounds, four turnovers, 594 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: no assis and a big LOL for DeAndre Ayton. How 595 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 1: do you know now? The story that did get my 596 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: attention If you're watching the NBA, it was on NBC 597 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 1: and also on Peacock the debut of the NBA agreement. Now, 598 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 1: we were told by the Wall Street Journal, that is 599 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: a very bougie business newspaper based in Manhattan. The Wall 600 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: Street Journal tell us that some NBC executives are sounding 601 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: alarm bells, very dramatically, very concerned that the networks deal 602 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 1: with the NBA. They're just not even make money. They 603 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 1: give this huge card too incise check to the NBA 604 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,320 Speaker 1: and they're not going to get good ROI return on investment. 605 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question. NBA executives said to 606 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 1: be unhappy. This was before they even started the games, 607 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 1: said to be unhappy with the NBA deal. Why is 608 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 1: this being reported as news? That's my question? Why is 609 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: this being reported as news? This is spam, is what 610 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,400 Speaker 1: it is. It's obviously a huge overpay. Even if you 611 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 1: know nothing about finances, you can't balance your own personal finances. 612 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 1: We all know, every man, woman and child knows that 613 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: this is the way it works. I remember getting educated 614 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 1: a person that I was friends with in the you know, 615 00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: many years ago. I won't I'll date myself if I say. 616 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 1: When he's an executive at ABC and they had just 617 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 1: won the bidding for this massive NFL contract, and I said, 618 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 1: it's going He said, well, we're going to lose money 619 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 1: on it. We know that, but we're going to get 620 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 1: people to watch our crappy sitcoms and that's what we're 621 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: doing it for. And okay, so you know going in 622 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 1: you're going to lose money. He says. It's called the 623 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 1: Lost Leader. I said, what's a lost Leader? I said, well, 624 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 1: you lose money on this, but you think you make 625 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:27,320 Speaker 1: it on the other side. So NBC is paying twenty 626 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 1: seven billion with a capital B twenty seven billion for 627 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:35,880 Speaker 1: the privilege of losing up to one point four billion 628 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 1: in the early years for their new shiny toy, the NBA. 629 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,240 Speaker 1: This is clearly why Benny versus the pending got canceled 630 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 1: by NBC. They had to pay for the NBA. I'm bitter, 631 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: How dare you? I'm bitter, Benny. Spoiler alert. These things 632 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,360 Speaker 1: always work out this way where you lose money on 633 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 1: it always and again, they're not buying basketball. It's being 634 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,759 Speaker 1: sold as basketball. They're not buying basketball. They're buying subscriptions 635 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:04,320 Speaker 1: to Peacock and it's a gift basket of hope. They know, 636 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:10,200 Speaker 1: like all of these businesses, the key is a subscription 637 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,799 Speaker 1: based business because a certain percentage of people will pay 638 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 1: for a service that is a monthly fee, and they're 639 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: so bad about their finances they will pay it until 640 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 1: they put them in the grave. They just forget about it. 641 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 1: And these businesses know a lot of the whole gym model. 642 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:31,880 Speaker 1: For examples, you pay a monthly fee to go to 643 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 1: the gym, and many people don't go to the gym, 644 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 1: but they keep paying for the gym because they like 645 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 1: the idea of going to the gym, Like, well, I 646 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 1: don't want to cancel the gym because maybe I'll get 647 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,920 Speaker 1: my fat ass to the gym, And so you keep 648 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,359 Speaker 1: paying for the gym just on the off chance you're 649 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: gonna go work out when you never work out because 650 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,480 Speaker 1: you're a fat pig and you don't want to work out. 651 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: And I get it. I'm the same way, but that's 652 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 1: how they get you. And so they know a certain 653 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,400 Speaker 1: percentage of people are gonna sign up for Peacock and 654 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 1: they're not gonna ever watch it doesn't matter. They're gonna 655 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,799 Speaker 1: get a monthly fee. Drip drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, 656 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,840 Speaker 1: money mine made. That's what they're gonna get, so I 657 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 1: do enjoy the very dramatic reporting. Considering these executives at NBC, 658 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,919 Speaker 1: we the same ones that agreed to the giant deal 659 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 1: in the first place. It's kind of like Woody Johnson 660 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 1: we talked about last night. Woody Johnson is like ripping 661 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 1: Justin Fields, which is correct. Woody Johnson's absolutely right. Justin 662 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: Fhilds is incompetent, but he also agreed. He signed up 663 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:27,880 Speaker 1: to say yeah, but okay with that ass My quarterback, 664 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 1: as I'll get by the NBC is like, we'll give 665 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 1: the nbal's money. Now they're like, well, I don't like 666 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 1: of course. The other argument is you can always find 667 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,719 Speaker 1: people that don't like something. I'm sure you could if 668 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,239 Speaker 1: you wanted to write this story, if you're the Wall 669 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 1: Street Journal, you could find a group of NBA executives 670 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 1: or NBC executives that love the NBA deal, think it's 671 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 1: it's great, it's a slam dunk, but that that's not 672 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,560 Speaker 1: as good a story. It's better to find the people 673 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 1: that are upset, which likely are news people because they 674 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,359 Speaker 1: cut the news budget. From what I read in one 675 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,320 Speaker 1: of the trade papers, so they're likely upset about that. 676 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,800 Speaker 1: So don't we pretend to be shocked. Oh I'm so shocked. 677 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 1: Oh my god. That is a sport, the NBA. And 678 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:05,839 Speaker 1: we'll get into it when the playoffs come around. We'll 679 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 1: talk about if there's a good story. I'm not against that. 680 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: It's not my favorite thing. I'm not really excited about it. 681 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 1: But they've had sagging regular season television ratings for years. 682 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,759 Speaker 1: That's been consistent, and so they're not gonna be able 683 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,399 Speaker 1: to cover the tab on this. And NBC will pay 684 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,239 Speaker 1: more for the NBA. This is amazing to me. They're 685 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 1: paying more for NBA games on a per game basis 686 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 1: than the NFL. And NBC's got the Sunday Night, the 687 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,000 Speaker 1: most important game of the weekends on Sunday Night, and 688 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:44,400 Speaker 1: they're paying more to broadcast Oklahoma City. It's like, okay, bonkers, bonkers, bonkers, 689 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 1: all right? Yeah, the NBA is where your stars rest 690 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 1: during the regular season. They're unengaged. They use load management 691 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:53,840 Speaker 1: to rest during the regular season. The ratings do the 692 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 1: dipsy do, and the postseason stretches longer and longer and 693 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 1: longer and longer than a bad dinner. Part of your 694 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 1: wife took you to it. You didn't want to go 695 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,440 Speaker 1: to and you hate the people you're with, that kind 696 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: of thing. Right in the end, In the end, the 697 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,919 Speaker 1: league cashes the check no matter what, whether you watch 698 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,000 Speaker 1: or not. NBC's got to deal with the headaches and 699 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,360 Speaker 1: all that. But again, they're trying to get you to subscribe, 700 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 1: and they know a certain percentage of people are just 701 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 1: going to subscribe, set it and forget it and pay 702 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 1: that every month even though they don't use the service. 703 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,400 Speaker 1: And I got to figure out how to get on 704 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 1: that hustle, Like, what can I do to get in 705 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 1: in that hustle? Will you just blindly cut money every month? 706 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:31,400 Speaker 1: That's the way to do it. 707 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,839 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor 708 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. 709 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: It's maller.

Now before the season, owner Stephen 715 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,239 Speaker 4: Ross intended to give Mike McDaniel the full year before 716 00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:57,160 Speaker 4: deciding on the future. 717 00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,160 Speaker 1: Then do you think McDaniel will get that whole year? 718 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:00,520 Speaker 4: No? 719 00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,879 Speaker 1: And no changes, are expected to coop until they make changes. 720 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 1: They always say, well, no, it's like trades. No, we 721 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,280 Speaker 1: don't expect to make a trade until you make a trade. 722 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 1: Trades are always unexpected. Firings are ut expected. The Dolphins 723 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,279 Speaker 1: sucked to if the only reason McDaniel's there is to 724 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 1: make two a great Tuas had six interceptions the last 725 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 1: two games.
