We taken 47 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: out of Western New York, where Bill's owner Terry Pegoula 48 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: is the talk of the town in the NFL, as 49 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: he did the thing that not many people do at 50 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: the time. 51 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 4: They don't normally do it. So again, another. 52 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: Rich guy, aristocrat owns the Buffalo Bills, and he got 53 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: up on the podium with GM Brandon Bean and they 54 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: teamed up to deliver what can only be called a 55 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: hummed dinger of a news commerce to try to explain 56 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: why they fired head coach Sean McDermott. 57 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 4: And you'd say, pretty easy, pretty. 58 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: Easy to say, why you fired the guy because he 59 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: kept joking in the playoffs. But it was much deeper 60 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: than that. It was much deeper than that. They didn't 61 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: just explain the coaching change. They took a ride on 62 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: the wild side, and I love it so Pagola, I'll 63 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: give you some of the hits. It there was a lie, 64 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: but I'll give you some of this, Pagola said. The 65 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: owner of the Bill said he fired Sean McDermott because 66 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: he felt the team hit the proverbial playoff wall after 67 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: seven straight trips to the playoffs without appearing in the 68 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Here is just to prove I'm not lying. 69 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: Here is Pegoula commenting on what I just said. Just 70 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: to prove I'm not a liar. 71 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 4: Take a list. 72 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 6: My decision to bring in a new coach was based 73 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 6: on the results of our game in Denver. I know 74 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 6: we can do better, and I know we will get better. 75 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 6: I did not fire a coach based on a bad 76 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 6: officiating decision. If I can take you into that locker room, 77 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 6: I felt like we hit the proverbial playoff wall, year 78 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 6: after year, thirteen seconds, missfield goals, the catch I just 79 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 6: sensed in that locker room, like, where do we go 80 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 6: from here? 81 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: Wait, fire the coach. Come on, it's obvious fire the coach, 82 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: all right. So that was a big one, essentially said 83 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: the tone I got. 84 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 4: I watched this thing. 85 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: It happened while I was sleeping that I watched it 86 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: on the YouTube, and it sounded like he just walked 87 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: any cyberyone upset, and so it's like, I'll fire. 88 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 4: The coach, all right. So then we get to the 89 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 4: even better stuff. 90 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: So the owner of the Bills, this guy, Terry Pagola, 91 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 1: He also talked about Keon Coleman. Now, this is a 92 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: big local issue in Buffalo because Coleman's not only a 93 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: wide receiver. The guy sucks, right, he's terrible. I think 94 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: his second round pick. The guy can't play, so everyone 95 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: knows the guy. Guys are so Pagola. This was actually 96 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: Brandon being the GM who was asked about Keon Coleman 97 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,799 Speaker 1: the selection. What went into all of that? And Pogola 98 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: actually stepped in the owner of the Buffalo Bills to 99 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: answer the question, take a listen. 100 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 6: Yeah, can I interrupt, I'll address the Keon situation. The 101 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 6: coaching staff pushed to draft Kon. I'm not saying Brandon 102 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 6: wouldn't have drafted him, but he wasn't his next choice. 103 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 6: That was Brandon being a team player and taking advice 104 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 6: of his coaching staff who felt strongly about the player. 105 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 6: And he's taken, for some reason, heat over it and 106 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 6: not saying a word about it. But I'm here to 107 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 6: tell you the true story. 108 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm sure you are yes, all right, So there 109 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: you go. He said, Ah, it's the coaches. The owner 110 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: of the Bill said, it's the coaches. It's not my buddy, 111 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: My buddy Brandon Bean who got promoted. All right, so 112 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: that is a good jumping off point. Lot's unpacked. The 113 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: Bill's owner is getting absolutely cooked for this. It's been 114 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: called just one of the most embarrassing things. The guy 115 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: has lost it. Al Davis had some of these back 116 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: in the day when he was obviously dead. 117 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:31,799 Speaker 4: Now own the Raiders. 118 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question Terry Pegoula getting killed 119 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: for what's being called a disaster class news conference in Buffalo. 120 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: People are saying he has damaged the Bill's brand? 121 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 4: Is that how you see it? 122 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: So I've got director's cut, Mazzarella, sticks, and anchorman, and 123 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together. And we 124 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: were going to make a trip over Niagara Falls, because 125 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: this felt like a trip over Niagara Phone. 126 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 4: It was pretty good. I gotta tell you. 127 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: I woke up to a bunch of text messages some people, 128 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: he did you see what the the Bill's owned to do? 129 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 5: What do you do? You know? 130 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 4: I didn't know what happened. 131 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: I was like, I was kind of half half sleeping still, 132 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: and I picked up my phone. Oh my god, what 133 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: I wanted? Something good must have happened. And then yep, yep, 134 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: pretty good, pretty good. All right, So my first thought 135 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: on this to answer the question. 136 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 4: You know, people are saying that the Bill's brand has 137 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 4: been damaged. Is that how you see it? So the 138 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 4: answer is no. 139 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: Everyone who's clutching their pearls here and letting out a 140 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: primal screen because Terry Pagoula went off script. 141 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 4: Oh my god, the older talked. He said the thing 142 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 4: that you're. 143 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: Not supposed I mean, come on, listen, please, This didn't 144 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: damage the buff of the Bill's brain. In fact, I'll 145 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: be the contrarian here behind the microphone, and I will 146 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: say that this made it more compelling, like this is 147 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: must see TV, must hear radio. We finally got the 148 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: director's cut, not the Disney edit, not filtered. This was 149 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: classic old guy philipbuster. We all hope to get old 150 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: enough so we just don't give an f anymore. You 151 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: get to a certain age, and you see this all 152 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: the time, you go out the restaurants or whatever, the 153 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: old guy that just doesn't give a crap, right and 154 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: just goes for it and says whatever the things that 155 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: polite society you're not supposed to say. You say when 156 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: you get to a certain age, because you figure, hey, 157 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: I got unlimited time left. I'm gonna enjoy myself. So 158 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: Terry Pegoula was passionately defending the general manager of the 159 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, this guy, Brandon Bean. 160 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 4: As you heard there like a. 161 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: Proud dad at a little league game. My boy did 162 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: not want that draft pick. He did not want that turd, 163 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: did not want it. Meanwhile, the kids standing out in 164 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: the outfield, that's Keon Coleman out there catching strays like 165 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: it's duck season. And Coleman in the middle seat on 166 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: a cross country flight. Elbows on both sides, no arm reds, 167 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: no leg room, nowhere to go. 168 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 4: You are trapped. You are trapped, and. 169 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: The owner is saying the owner of the Bills say yeah, 170 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: the coaches want the jam says nothing, of course, and 171 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: then the player's stuck holding the bag. Of course he 172 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: should hold his duffel bag because there's no way he 173 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 1: comes back to the Bills. 174 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 4: Right. 175 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: That's it, And it's not that he didn't earn it. 176 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: Keon Coleman was not good at his job. He was 177 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: a healthy scratch. There was some behind the scenes issues 178 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: there multiple games, as I remember. 179 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 4: So this is not a brand damage. 180 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: Though I wouldn't go that far. I think of it 181 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: like the old Mad TV back in the day. If 182 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: you remember that dysfunction junction, how do you function? It's 183 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 1: compelling dysfunction. That's the Bills, baby, and hey, it's good, 184 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: it's great people. Oh, the Bill's mafia. The fan base 185 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: is upset one. They sure they're upset because they keep 186 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: losing in the playoffs and they like McDermott. And they'll 187 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: get over it once September comes around. They'll pick somebody 188 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: new in the draft and they'll hire a coach. We'll 189 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: say all the right and bull crap, and then everyone 190 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: will be back on the band and we get back 191 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: to September. Now, page two. Staying with the Bills, though, 192 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: so the questionaire, the owner Terry Pagool has said that 193 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: he's not going to tell the next Bill's coach it's 194 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: super Bowl or bust, whoever that might be. They haven't 195 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: replaced Sean McDermott. But the owner is like, well, I'm 196 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: not gonna say it's super Bowl or bus. So the 197 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: question is why not? 198 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 4: Why not? All right? 199 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: And my response would be because some things in life 200 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: don't need to be said. 201 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 4: It's kind of like when you get. 202 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: On an airplane, you know, you don't tell the pilot, hey, 203 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: try not to crash the plane. 204 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 4: I mean, you don't need to say that, right, if. 205 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: You're going into the operating room, you don't tell the 206 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: search and try to get the right kidney. 207 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 6: Please. 208 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 4: You know, you don't know it's implied. This isn't a 209 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 4: starter job. 210 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: That we're not talking about going to Ikea and buying 211 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,559 Speaker 1: a bookshelf and you're missing half the screws and the 212 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: Allen ranches bent and you're like, ah, crap, this thing 213 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: is already built. It's already built that The bills are 214 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: a frozen food delicacy. 215 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 4: Think about it like you're to Walmart and you got every. 216 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: Possible frozen food you could want, right, and so you 217 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: go through there. You look, they got the frozen vegetables. 218 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: You don't want to get a part of that. I 219 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: got some ice cream, but you know about that. So 220 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: then they've got some fries, some potatoes, some onion rings, 221 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 1: things like that. But then you see the mazzarella sticks. 222 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,599 Speaker 1: You grab the mozzarella sticks, and that's buffalo buffaloes. The 223 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: mozzarella sticks. You don't cook them from scratch, they're already 224 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: pre made. You just toss them in the air fryer 225 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,959 Speaker 1: for five minutes. You don't screw that up. Boom, you 226 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: got mozzarella sticks. The Bills have an MVP quarterback. Granted 227 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: it was kind of a flimsy MVP, but they have 228 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 1: an MVP quarterback. Check that box. The roster that's been 229 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: nibbling among the top teams in the NFL for many. 230 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 4: Years now, so check that. And the clock, though, is ticking. 231 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: You got about two to four years, depending on how 232 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: this thing goes with Josh Allen, before the Bills start 233 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: coming due. 234 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 4: After that, well after that it gets ugly, ugly with 235 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 4: a capitol you. So you're talking about roster. 236 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: Rot and bad vibes and all that stuff. So Pagola, 237 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: the owner here, he doesn't have to formally announce Super 238 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: Bowl or boss doesn't have to say that because it's 239 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: already tattooed on the job description. If you read the minutia, 240 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: the fine print there, you will see that that is 241 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: the way it is now. The last word here. So 242 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: following the Buffalo Bluster, reports came out of Western New 243 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: York claiming that a I love this. A source close 244 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: to Josh Allen said that the Bills quarterback had faith 245 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: in the leadership of the team under the owner Terry 246 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: Pagoula and Brandon Bean and will take an active role, 247 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: an active role in participating in the upcoming head coaching 248 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 1: interview process. So that was the way it was reported there, 249 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: and more likely than not, is Josh Allen calling one 250 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: of his buddies, a beat writer, texting him saying, I 251 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 1: gotta get some message out right now. 252 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 4: Can you help me out? Sure, I'll help you out. 253 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 4: Why not? 254 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 7: All right? 255 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 4: Question? 256 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: So, Josh Allen, if this report what is accurate? Josh 257 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: Allen is said to have quote faith in the Bills leadership. 258 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: Is this solid or shaky? 259 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 4: Right? So this is the word I will use. 260 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: On This is diplomacy. This isn't necessarily believe. It's like 261 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: a hostage note written with a nice smiley face. You 262 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: wrote a little smiley face there on your hostage note. 263 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: You're talking about a guy that is the former MVP 264 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: who's playing the role in this chapter of the book 265 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: as a statesman. 266 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 4: Because what else on God's green Earth is he gonna do? 267 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: Is he gonna act like Bill's mafia and flip a 268 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: table and light it on fire in Orchard Park and 269 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: jump on it? Is that what he's gonna do place 270 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: Josh Allen's camp. Everyone's dealing with this organizational whiplash and 271 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: I love it. 272 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 4: It's great. I have no skin in the game. 273 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: Not in Finally on Bill's Monster, Derek and Felexus and 274 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: the other people, we have their Bills fans in that part. 275 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 4: We love. People in Buffalo love the show. It's great. 276 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: But in about five minutes, I'm using Mallard time. But 277 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: in about five minutes Bill's Mafia went from chest thumping 278 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: a playoff victory over you know, just feeling good, good 279 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: playoff vibes. They watched the whole thing tip over like 280 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: a drunk guy going out to get the mail on 281 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: a walking on his driveway to go down to get 282 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: the mail and slips and. 283 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 4: Falls and all that. 284 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: They go from beating Jacksonville late on a wild wild 285 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: Card weekend, everyone's feeling all warm and fuzzy. 286 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 4: Oh, it's great. 287 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: Then overtime roadkill in Denver late against the Broncos, splat 288 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: windshield wipers can't keep up with the mess, and Josh 289 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: Allen turns into Anchorman's Ron Burgundy, a glass case of emotion. 290 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: The owner walks into the locker room sees tears, panics, 291 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: hits the big bed, the big red button hat, a 292 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: giant red button hits that and and wax the coach. 293 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 4: And then you're like, wow, that has any quickly, right. 294 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: So if Josh Allen hadn't cried, would you have kept 295 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: Sean mcderhatt. I think that that part of it is 296 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: it smells like manure to me. And I'll tell you why, 297 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: because the issue was they kept losing. It wasn't that 298 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: they got emotional. If anything, getting emotional would indicate that 299 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: they care about the coach, you would want to keep 300 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: the coach, wouldn't that be the case, Like these guys 301 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: really love this guy and they felt bad. The other 302 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: thought I had was the players knew that if they 303 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: didn't win that game that Sean mcdertt was going to 304 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: be fired, and they were bummed out about that. And 305 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: it's kind of how I relate. I've worked here at 306 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio pretty much my entire adult life. We've 307 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: had many people run the company, and every time the 308 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: boss changes, you always get kind. 309 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 4: Of this weird feeling in your stomach. 310 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: You're like, oh, crap, I might have to go work 311 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: somewhere else, you know, And and you just keep doing it. 312 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: But because every boss has their favorites, right, every boss, 313 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: no matter what the job is, whether it's I work 314 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: in radio, whatever your job is, well it was got 315 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: favorites like parents have favorite kids, you know, just the 316 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: way it is. And so you're always like, oh no, 317 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: you got a new boss is gonna come in. You're 318 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: not gonna like me, Oh crap, what am. 319 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 4: I gonna do? And all that stuff. But it is fascinating, 320 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 4: you know. 321 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: And then Josh Allen right now, you know the cartoon 322 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: bubble in my head. He's saying all the right things 323 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: right now, he's the Statesman. He's sweeping up the glass, 324 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: he's taping the bumper back on, and really, what choice 325 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: does he have? Josh Allen is the Buffalo bills. He 326 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: can't demo the building because he's still that's where he works. 327 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: You can't demo the building you work in. You're still inside. 328 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: And in terms of the word faith, yeah, sure, it 329 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: feels less less like belief though, it's more like survival mode. 330 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: And it's not really solid. 331 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 4: Ground right now. It's gonna thin ice and we'll see 332 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 4: if the bill's higher.

The forty nine ers gave the state 377 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 1: of the team address Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch. The 378 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 1: star of the show would be John Lynch, The GM 379 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: there who confirmed that the Niners are about to decommission 380 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: wide receiver Brandon Iuck this offseason. So if you didn't 381 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: see this or hear it, maybe not Lynch. He announced 382 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: that it's it's time, not quite yet, but in due time, 383 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: the winds of change will be blowing. 384 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 4: Let's go to the audio tape. Here's John Lynch. Take 385 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 4: a listen. 386 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 8: You know the plan in terms of the transaction that 387 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 8: will come in due time. I think it's safe to 388 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 8: say that he that, you know, he's played his last 389 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 8: snap with the Niners. It's unfortunate situation that just went awry, 390 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 8: and I will look long and hard at you know, 391 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 8: what could have been done differently, but sometimes just doesn't 392 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 8: work out. 393 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 4: I think that this was this was a case where 394 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 4: that happened. 395 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: All right, so played his last snap with the Niners. 396 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: Will come and du time didn't work out. Blah blah 397 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. Now keep in mind, this is 398 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: not just your run of the mill roster move like 399 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: this is like a lot of what this guy held 400 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: in during training camp in twenty twenty four and then 401 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: signed a four year contract for one hundred and twenty 402 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: million dollars Now you would think with that kind of 403 00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 1: extension you'd be putting on a happy face. This guy, no, no, 404 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: this is next level hutzba. He appeared in just seven 405 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: games before he had a big bowl of rice crispy 406 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: snap crackle pop, and then the injury. And so the 407 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: Niners now, finally they could have moved him even though 408 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 1: he didn't play this past season. They if he got 409 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: to another team, he likely would have been able to play. 410 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: But they held on to him, and so now they're 411 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: gonna trade him or. 412 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 4: Who knows, release him. It's all a good jumping off points. 413 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 1: So let us discuss as you heard the Niners GM 414 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 1: there John Lynch saying that Brandon Ayuck has played his 415 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: last snap with the. 416 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 4: Forty nine ers. So where does he end up? Let's 417 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 4: play the speculation game. 418 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: So I've got jim Nance, Mystery Machine, and Philly Pops, 419 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: and we'll combine all of these things together and we're 420 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: gonna make birthday cake with great frosting and milk is 421 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: what we're gonna make. That's what we're doing. Put those 422 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: things together. Yum yum to your tomb tumb So a 423 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: Brandon Auck is more than just damaged. 424 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 4: Goods. He is completely covered from head to toe with 425 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 4: moles and warts. 426 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: He's got more warning labels on him than a bottle 427 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: of draino at this particular point. Now, he did the 428 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 1: Niners dirty. He did the Niners dirty, the whole a 429 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: wall thing and all that. And John Lynch, and some 430 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: of this is on the Niners. You got to know 431 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: your employees, right. They clearly misread the room. They thought 432 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk had the fighting spirit, They thought he was 433 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: a competitor. They thought he wanted to win, wanted to 434 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: play hard, wanted to do his job. Clearly he wasn't 435 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: all of those things. Otherwise you wouldn't be in this 436 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: particular situation. And so John Lynch got the Jim Nance 437 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: Breakfast special burnt toast is what he got. He got burned, burn, 438 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 1: baby burn. And does he even does the player even 439 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: want to play football? Or the question must be asked, 440 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: is Brandon Ayuk looking for a team to go to 441 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: to bankroll his sabbatical so he can continue to make 442 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: a lot of money and do nothing. Now Brandon Iok 443 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: becomes the ultimate high end reclamation project. A lot of 444 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: people in the NFL that believe in the Father Flannagan mantra, 445 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 1: but he's got flashing warning labels that are that they're 446 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: popping up everywhere. However, again I go back to the 447 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,719 Speaker 1: NFL mantra, talent trumps all. It's the never give up 448 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: on talent thesis that the NFL runs by, and so 449 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: spinning the malor wheel of speculation for Brandon ayuk round 450 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: and round and round and round, big money, big money, 451 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: No Whomy's stop. All right, So you've got the Steelers, 452 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 1: the Bills, and the Chiefs all lined up. It's like 453 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: speed dating at a dive bar, is what it is 454 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: at two in the morning before the bar closed. There's 455 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: no risk it, no biscuit. That was Bruce Arian's line 456 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: from back of the day. All of those teams, the Steelers, Bills, 457 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: and Chiefs obviously pop up on the malar wheel of speculation. 458 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 1: They are devoid of elite level playmakers at the wide 459 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: receiver position. All of them are in the American Football Conference, 460 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: and all of them are at the point now where 461 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 1: they'd be willing to take a player who's tarnished and 462 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: he's got cooties like Brandon Aya because they're desperate, right, 463 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 1: They're desperate, and so they need the player, they need 464 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: a talent upgrade. You're willing to overlook things like people 465 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 1: that don't want to do their job. 466 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 4: Now. 467 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, we stay in the Bay Area where forty nine 468 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 1: Ers GM. John Lynch also confirmed during the end of 469 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: season news conference that the team is going to investigate 470 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 1: the viral TikTok theory linking electromagnetic fields from a nearby 471 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: electrical substation to the persistent injury problems. You might remember 472 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,360 Speaker 1: in a previous episode we discussed this very topic. 473 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 4: And we pointed out that the science. 474 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: On this has been done over the years because there's 475 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: people that just live near these substations and they think 476 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,959 Speaker 1: that something's happening, and so they studied it and they 477 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 1: determined that they're and who knows whether you believe this 478 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: or not, but they determined that there was nothing there 479 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: there anyway, here's Lynch talking about the forty nine ers 480 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: investigating take a list. 481 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 8: You have to look into everything, and so our guys 482 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 8: have been We've been reaching out to anyone and everyone 483 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 8: to see does a study exist rather than a guy 484 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 8: sticking an apparatus underneath the fence and by coming up 485 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 8: with a number that I have no idea what that means. 486 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 8: That's what we know exists. We've heard that debunked, you know, 487 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 8: So yes, we will look into it. We have and 488 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 8: we'll always be cognizant of things. I know that a 489 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 8: lot of games have been won at this facility, you know, 490 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 8: since it opened. But yeah, we aren't going to turn 491 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,719 Speaker 8: a blind eye. We'll look into everything. 492 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: Okay, So the question how likely, just between us, how 493 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: likely are the forty nine ers to find in a 494 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 1: smoking gun an injury smoking gun with the electromagnetic field conspiracy. 495 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 4: It popped up on social media. 496 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: So in the cartoon bubble above my head, on the 497 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: right side of my head, right you can't see because 498 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: it's radio, but above my head, John Lynch is out 499 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: there driving the mystery machine. He's sniffing around and right 500 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: around the electromagnetic field conspiracy like Scooby Dooby doo retrow. 501 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: Somebody get that man some Scooby snacks right now. Next, 502 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna blame what. They're gonna blame our friend Andrea 503 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: the astrology insider. They're gonna say the reason the forty 504 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: nine ers keep getting hurt is because mercury is in retrograde. 505 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,120 Speaker 1: They're gonna investigate that and then maybe after that the 506 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,360 Speaker 1: moon phase pulled a hamstring. 507 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,479 Speaker 4: Or something like that. This is a. 508 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 1: First class ticket to Bakersville, is what this is. You've 509 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: got the low frequency EMF turning ligaments into what pulled pork? 510 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 4: Is that what's going on here? 511 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: And so okay, delicious, put some barbecue sauce on. It 512 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 1: showed me the science. Of course, there is no science 513 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: to back this up. Zero zilch, not a bupkus, whatever. 514 00:25:59,359 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 4: Word you want to eat. 515 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: It's kind of like blaming the popcorn burning because of 516 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 1: the Wi Fi football has been a demolition derby. It's 517 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: car crashes with shoulder pads, and there's also this thing 518 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: called randomness and variance involved in it. And say, well 519 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: this wasn't great and we've had some injuries. That's the 520 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: way the cookie crumbles. And people are looking desperately for 521 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 1: both engagement and to try to find a fall guy, 522 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 1: because you got to have a fall guy. 523 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 4: Very important to have a fall guy. So, like, I 524 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 4: know what it is. 525 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: It's not that these guys just are injury prone or 526 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: it's just bad luck. It's the substation man. Yeah, that's 527 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: the ticket, it's the substantion. Well, good luck here's the 528 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: other problem with this. Now I've pointed out that there's 529 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 1: some things that have been done over the year, peer 530 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: reviewed studies that have said that this. 531 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 4: Is not true. 532 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: However, even if you think there is something there, Even 533 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: if there is something, don't you believe that the Niners 534 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: would be better off bearing it? Like Jimmy hoff if 535 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: you know who that is back in the day, this 536 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: would be Pandora's box by the bay Let's workshop. 537 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 4: This right, what's in the box? What do you think 538 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 4: this means? 539 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: So if the Niners came out and said, you know what, 540 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: the players were right. The players were absolutely right. And 541 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: these gamma rays, that the what you might call it's 542 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: coming from the do hickey and it's causing these injuries. 543 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: So you open that box up and you have billboard 544 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: lawyers circling like seagulls when you drop a French fry 545 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 1: at the beach, right, they will be everywhere there is 546 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: There is no there there, And if there is a 547 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: there there, you can't admit it because then then you've 548 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: got some issues like that. Not the gamma ray thing, 549 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: not the Tampa Bay ray thing. It's just it's bad luck. 550 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: It's a violent sport. And then but you can put 551 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: the X Files music on if you want. If you're 552 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: into the X files, you know that'll show back in 553 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: the day you put that. 554 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 4: On, all right? 555 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: Now, last word to fill out Alfia, we go where 556 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 1: the Eagles are having no luck getting an offensive coordinator 557 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 1: despite winning a Super Bowl a couple of years ago 558 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: and being a consistent playoff team. We are told the 559 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: Eagles have interviewed now former Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Naggi, 560 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: who was let go by Andy Reid for the offensive 561 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 1: coordinator vacancy in Philadelphia. Now Naggy exploring any kind of 562 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: a job he can get, as Andy Reid's replaced him 563 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: with Eric b Enemy and the job that he was 564 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: in line to get. The assumption was he was going 565 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: to get the Tennessee Titans job. And then they talked 566 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: to Robert Salah, talked the socks off the front office, 567 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: and so Sala's now the coach, and so Naggi's scrambling 568 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: to find a job. This comes amid reports recently claiming 569 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: that Philadelphia has a problem that coach Nick Siriani is 570 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: having legitimate issues. When Howie Roseman filling the Eagles offensive 571 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: coordinator vacancy. Now, the reporting claimed it's an unappealing job 572 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: to candidate due to the intense pressure of coaching in Philadelphia. 573 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: So I'd like to address that the question do you 574 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: buy or sell? Do you buy or sell the Eagles 575 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator job being unattractive? Right, is not attractive at all, unappealing, 576 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: whatever word you want to use. So this is to me, 577 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: it's not a coaching search. It's a game of who's 578 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: left at this particular point. So I am buying the 579 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: fact that the job is unattractive. Think of it like 580 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: Quasimodo from the Hunchback of Notre Dame. That being said, 581 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: I do not buy the pressure part of it. I 582 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: think that is a load of hot poo poo is 583 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: what I think. Don't give me the Philadelphia is a 584 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: hard place to coach garbage. If you're a coach, it 585 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Like the Mallard diagnoses, I believe the reason 586 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: the Eagles are having problems getting that job filled it's 587 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: the JH factor. What is the JH factor? It's Jalen Hurts. Yes, 588 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: he's a two hundred and fifty five million dollar quarterback. 589 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: He's also the platypuss in the room. 590 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 4: Is what he is. 591 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts for all the good things that he does, 592 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: like the tushy push, the leadership, the quotes. It's like 593 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: back in the day you used to have these calendars 594 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: with motivational quotes. 595 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 4: He's liked that. 596 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is the conductor of the Eagles offense, but 597 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: he's the conductor who cannot read the music sheet. He 598 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: only knows a few notes. He's really good at those notes, 599 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: but he only knows a few notes. He's the star 600 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: of the Philly Pops. However, he cannot hit the high notes. 601 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: That's a problem. You want a deep ball, it's a 602 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: It's a total eclipse, lunar eclipse, rare dark and leaves 603 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: everyone staring at the sky wondering where the light went. 604 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 4: And then you've got Nick Sirianni, the. 605 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: Rock paper scissors guy who's presiding over the three ring 606 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: circus in Philadelphia, and the tents on fire. 607 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 4: There's no water. It's organizational instability. 608 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: It's not because of the pressure though, it's this is 609 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: a Sirianni special where you change coordinators. You got to 610 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: have someone to blame. You always blame the offensive coordinator. 611 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: They changed coordinators in Philadelphia, as we talked about when 612 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,239 Speaker 1: Jalen hurts at the end of the Eagles season, they 613 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: got rid. 614 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 4: Of the offensive winners. 615 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: Like they change coordinators more than a lot of us 616 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: change socks. And you're not an offensive coordinator in Philadelphia. 617 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: You're a human shield. So the coach can blame someone 618 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: and the quarterback can blame someone when they fail at 619 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: their job. 620 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 4: And it's like, do you really want to pilot. 621 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: A plane when the engines are sputtering and there's no 622 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: mechanic to fix it and the pilot is busy there 623 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 1: arguing with the flight attendant and you're the assistant pilot 624 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: and you're like, what's going on? 625 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 4: You're the co pilot And so. 626 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, the other thing, you're gonna get good money, so 627 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: you take the job. It's attempt job, so you don't 628 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: want to really lock in. You gotta rent, maybe do 629 00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: a Verbo or something like that Airbnb it buy a 630 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: place because you're not going to be there that long. 631 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: And then you take the bag of money and you 632 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: move on down the yellow brick road somewhere else and 633 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: get another coaching job down the line. 634 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller 635 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. 636 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 3: Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, Here 637 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 3: we degree. 638 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 2: This is one big bent gets grilled. 639 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 7: Cooelo, a Steelers insider, gave his thoughts on Aaron Rodgers 640 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 7: future Tuesday, saying he believes there's a forty percent chance 641 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 7: he retires, thirty five percent chance he plays for the Vikings, 642 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 7: and a twenty five percent shot that he's back with 643 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 7: the Steelers. 644 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 5: Ben, what do you think about those odds? 645 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: Uh? 646 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 4: No, he's not going back to the Steelers. I think 647 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 4: that door has closed with Tomlin being out there. 648 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: I think there's a forty percent chance he does podcast 649 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: with Joe Rogan. There's a thirty percent chance he plays. 650 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: I don't know the Colts they need a quarterback that 651 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: it seems like Daniel Jones gonna be out for a while. 652 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 4: What about Kansas City? 653 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: If Mahomes isn't ready to go at the beginning of 654 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: the year, there's options. 655 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 4: If he wants to play, someone will give him a job. 656 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 4: I don't think he's gonna retire though, he just wants 657 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 4: to keep playing. Next. 658 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 7: With Miami losing to Indiana, Carson Beck now turns his 659 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 7: attention to preparing for the NFL Draft, Ben, what do 660 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 7: you think Beck's NFL future will be? 661 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 4: He has a chance to be on a practice squad 662 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 4: in the NFL. I don't think. It didn't look like 663 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 4: a great NFL player to me. I wasn't impressed. 664 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 7: Next, it was supported earlier this week that the Knicks 665 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 7: have discussed a Karl Anthony Towns trade with the Grizzlies, 666 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 7: Magic and Hornets, among others.
