1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: This is the business of sports where in the situation 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 1: that we haven't dealt with in modern times, pandemic here 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,479 Speaker 1: has really accelerated the investments that you've been advocating for 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: for years. From a macro standpoint, I think our sport 5 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: industry is really forced to look at the business a 6 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,639 Speaker 1: little bit differently. In depth conversations with the leaders in 7 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 1: the sports industry. Who wants to be the sacrificial lambs 8 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: that shows up at the first big major sporting events 9 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: were part of something much bigger than the sports right 10 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: now and the health and safety of our stakeholders that 11 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: looks much important every moment. I think we're all from 12 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 1: the business respective thinking about the impact that the virus 13 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: is having across the country. In Bloomberg Business of Sports 14 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: from Bloomberg Radio, Hello, Michael Barr, and this is the 15 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Business of Sports podcast.

And now we're Fantasy League? 26 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: I believe I had the most points this week if 27 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, and Damien it was up there also. 28 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: I know we both got wins. What about you, Michael? 29 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: What you do? Well, we'll just move right along anyway. Well, 30 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: you know what, let me bring this up before we 31 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: get into the other stuff. And this is something I 32 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: always talk about about fab money. How much to spend now? 33 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: You know, once you hit the waiver wires, how much 34 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 1: do you spend now? One hour league? We got a 35 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: budget of a hundred dollars, and how much do you 36 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: spend when you because you got a space all that 37 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: out in like fifteen weeks and uh, I put in 38 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: my bid for Mr Hynes with the Indianapolis Colts because 39 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: Marlon Bank went down and he's to be out for 40 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: the season. I put in a bid for fifteen somebody 41 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,559 Speaker 1: else I know who's on this trio put in thirty 42 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: one he want. So it brings me to this question, 43 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: how much do you spend on fab money when you 44 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: get into starting out with the season, because you're still 45 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: a lot of time to go. Yeah, no, I mean 46 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: so so of course, I have Nie behinds. I spent 47 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: nearly a third of my budget for the season. But 48 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: I don't think that's uncommon, especially in the first three 49 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: to four weeks of the season, when I mean that's 50 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: that's really when you're gonna see some of these running 51 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: backs bubble to the surface and you're gonna get more 52 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: color as to you know which teams are are using 53 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: them in which ways, and so you know, two touchdowns, 54 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: you know, receiving a lot of receiving targets for Nike, 55 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: Hines mac out for the season. I mean, he's a 56 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: no brainer, So I was more than happy to spend 57 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: something from my annual budget on him. I think Benny 58 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 1: Snell and Malcolm Brown are others that probably command that 59 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: type of attention as well. But you know, as the 60 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: season progresses, you'll quickly find that you know, um, you 61 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: know that that money spent on weaver a wire pickups 62 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: gonna go down and go down significantly. I mean, I 63 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: think towards the end of last season, people had reserved 64 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: their budget were able to pick up guys like Miles 65 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: Sanders and A. J. Brown on the cheap. So, you know, 66 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: I think you probably see that as the season progresses. 67 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: But look, hey, it's early going and nine he Mines 68 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 1: looks looks pretty good as an option out of the 69 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: back field in Indianapolis. Richard, value play that you have 70 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: David Johnson, You talented him last week. Who do you 71 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: like this week? Well, let's talk about David this week. 72 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: You know, before we get the value players, what I 73 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: look and I'm sure Damien's the same. When I evaluate 74 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: for the week, I look at the high scoring games 75 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: and Dallas and Atlanta hasn't over under a fifty two, 76 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,839 Speaker 1: So he's not a value play. But I really loved 77 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott this week because the Atlanta Falcons defense is 78 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: very poor in the road. I'm gonna give you some stats. 79 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: Fifty three thirty four. There are two good games in 80 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: the middle of nine and three, then twenty two and 81 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: twenty two. That's an average of twenty five points a 82 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: game on the road. The Falcons defense and that's you know, 83 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: that includes games where they only give up nine and 84 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: three to the Saints and the Pathers. So I love 85 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, who's not a value play, but I really 86 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: love him this week. But I will go at Michael 87 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: Gallup Maria Cooper. I think that ten catches us week. 88 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: There have there's a lot of offensive targets on that team, 89 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: so it's kind of hard to pick one. But for 90 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: a value play, I think Michael Gallup might have a 91 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: chance to score a long one against the falcon So 92 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: that would be my one of my value plays this week. 93 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: If you mentioned Dak Prescott, which brings you to the 94 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: point about what about cd uh, Because he's a rookie 95 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: wide out, you always gotta love the hook up. I 96 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: mean you do. I mean you just don't know who 97 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: he's you know, could be Cooper one week, could be 98 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: Lamb the next week, could be at Gallup. And obviously 99 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: you have Zeke in the backfield, so there is there 100 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: are a lot of options. But I would be very 101 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: surprised if Dallas does not score at least thirty points 102 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: in this game. I would think even more than that, 103 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: So you know, I think again Prescott, I think is 104 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: a great option this week, as is Matt Ryan. Because 105 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: last week playing from behind, he threw for four to 106 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: fifty yards. He's probably gonna be playing from behind again. 107 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 1: Damien your thoughts, So, you know, I have to say, 108 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: I mean, that was the first time I've seen Peede 109 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: Lamb in action. You know, obviously he's a rookie, and 110 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: he looked very polished to be and his body language 111 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: and his attitude on the field was really really impressive 112 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: to me. And you know, I think as the season progresses, 113 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: he's going to take on a much, much bigger role 114 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: in that offense in my opinion. But you know, I 115 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: have to take a pause here. I mean, can we 116 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: just talk about Josh Jacobs. I mean, in a world 117 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: where past catching running backs are all outrage to see 118 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs just you know, rolling out of the batfield 119 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: on the ground three touchdowns. I mean, very impressive considering 120 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: the performances of people like you know, Mixing and Chub 121 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: and a lot of others at Cliff for example Connor, 122 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: who are all drafted around the same time and all 123 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: of whom underperformed. So you know, that's a standout performance 124 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: by Josh Jacobs and the Las Vegas Raiders, Yes, with 125 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: mixing and chubs. Like a person I know was sitting here, 126 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: I was like, not happy about the underperformance of of 127 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: those two guys. But moving along, one thing I want 128 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: to talk about two just very quick about you know, 129 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: all the pools that's going on, the survivor pools. And 130 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 1: a lot of people were on the Indianapolis Colts. I 131 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: was I, now, yeah, yeah, it's we have a pool. 132 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 1: Think but two people about a hundred thirty people got 133 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: burned in that because they had for the most part, 134 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. And I was surprised about that. I mean, 135 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: they're playing the Jacksonville Jaguars. I'm not sure now is 136 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: it because Jacksonville is that good? Or is it because 137 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: the Colts are that poor? Well, I mean I think 138 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: if you have to look at the games coming into 139 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: this week, right, I mean, and you're looking at the 140 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: spreads alone, you've got Tennessee, you know, a nine point 141 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: favorite over Jacksonville. You know, I can see a lot 142 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: of the remaining Survivor pools, you know, going back to 143 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: the well there potentially, but it may scare a lot 144 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: of people off, right, But look, I think the Colts. 145 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: They're getting used to a new quarterback in new offense. 146 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: Their defense did not look very good. Clearly Um and 147 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: Jackson played out of their short So you know, I 148 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: I think these things happen in football. This is this 149 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: is the beauty of the NFL. Other teams You've got 150 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: to be looking at if your Survivor guys, Casey versus 151 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: the Charges this week in Tampa Bay versus Carolina, the 152 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: ladder of which really kind of scares me, just given 153 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: the fact that you never want to be getting betting 154 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: against bridge Water in SMAX. So you know, I think 155 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: Casey is probably going to be a favorite pick in 156 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: most Survivor pools going into a Week two. Rich, do 157 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: you think that teams that maybe underperformed in Week one, 158 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: or maybe other teams that are performed will come back 159 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: to reality this weekend. You really can't take so much 160 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: stock in in the first week of the season. As 161 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: we mentioned many times on this podcast, there was no preseason, 162 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: so you look, I mentioned this the Giants and Jets 163 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: offensive I would struggle because they had a lot of 164 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: new players on their offensive lines and didn't have the 165 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: preseason to gel and look at what sake one who 166 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: caldn't run the ball at all against the Steelers. Obviously, 167 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: Steals have a good defense. You really can't panic too 168 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: much in Week one, and actually that's the gist of 169 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: my article this week. I'm like, dope panic Nahem Heinz 170 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: and Malcolm Brown grossly I performed Sae Kwon Barkley and 171 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb. Is that going to happen the rest of 172 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: the season. I doubt it. I mean, Russell Gauge of 173 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: the Falcons outperformed Michael Thomas, owned by Damien and I believe, 174 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: who was out for a couple of weeks. You really 175 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: can't pay. You really need a couple of weeks to 176 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: see what the seasons out the season is going to develop. 177 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: So let me just clear things up here for you. 178 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,959 Speaker 1: I don't own Michael Thomas, although I love him in 179 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: Fat Day own Davante Adams the best performing fantasy football 180 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: player in Week one. Fourteen receptions tied Don Hudson for 181 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,319 Speaker 1: the most in Green Bay history. He now has seven 182 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty six yards on six touchdowns in the 183 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: past six games. That's a ridiculous two thousand yard receiving 184 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: pace over sixteen game season. Guys, I mean he's averaging 185 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: fourteen targets per game over that span. Davante Adams my 186 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: player of the week in Week one. Team that really 187 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: underperformed the Cleveland Browns, and I don't understand what the 188 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: heck is happening. I don't understand. Have we put too 189 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: much stock in Baker Mayfield? Guys? Well, I think you're 190 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb. That's who you have right right. I think 191 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: he's a great pick this week. Let's take a Week one. 192 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: They fell behind the Ravens right away. Ravens have a 193 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,599 Speaker 1: very good defense. Cream Hunt actually outpointed Nick Chubb in 194 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: Week one because it was on the field a lot 195 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 1: with there behind. I think Nick Chubb is gonna be 196 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: a very very good pick this week against the Bengal. 197 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: So that's one of those things I wouldn't panic. That's 198 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: the Thursday night game. By the way, in case anybody 199 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: is following, Uh, Damien, uh, you know right now you 200 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: got well, both of you guys are like, you know, 201 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: the stallions here in this league. I'm just trying to 202 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: hang with you, guys. What could you tell somebody who 203 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: is just starting out now? I remember back in the 204 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: day when you you know, when you would call into 205 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: a show and say I'm with a ten team league. 206 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: They'd laugh you right off the year, But now there 207 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: are many ten team leagues and as a teams and 208 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: at work team, you know, the family whatever. A ten 209 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: teamer has a different strategy obviously than a twelve teamer, 210 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: and a twelve teamer has a different strategy than sixteen teams. 211 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 1: What strategy could you provide? And to whoever wants to 212 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: start off first? The best strategy involved with those type 213 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: of leagues. Well, I like to be a buyer on weakness, right, 214 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 1: So I agree with rich in the sense that d 215 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,359 Speaker 1: J Sharp, Chub, Eckler, and Mixon are unlikely to underperform 216 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: each and every week the way they did in week 217 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: one and vice. Firstly, you probably want to be looking 218 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: at I know, he's your value played David Johnson and 219 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: he looked awesome, I mean just awesome. But DJ Girly 220 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: Felan Watkins, I mean, I mean you may want to 221 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 1: be selling them at you know, a current levels p 222 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: cut their values so high, right, But if you want 223 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: to if you're a new bee starting out, you know, 224 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,599 Speaker 1: the one theme that I'm kind of seeing here in 225 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: early going is Russian quarterbacks Alan Lamar Jackson, Cam Newton, 226 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater. These guys are putting up more points than 227 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: the ark. I mean, we're not Aaron Rodgers, but you 228 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: know the Drew Brees is the Arn Rodgers, the classic 229 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: pocket passers, and I think that's a trend that we're 230 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: seeing more and more in fantasy football. And look, you know, 231 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: if you if you just look at Billichick and what 232 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 1: he's been doing in New England, if you think for 233 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: one second he's not going to run Cam Newton into 234 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: the ground, I think we're all sorely mistaken. I mean, 235 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: they're they're HARKing back to the nineties style of football 236 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: in New England. And look at Kyler merle Mry had 237 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: a great game. I think I know somebody that have 238 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: that has Kyler Murrays. By the way, I'm just saying, 239 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: by the way, Detroit at green Bay this Sunday, let's 240 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: see what cold wind will blow at lambeau Field For 241 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: the Lions. It seems like every time they go to 242 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 1: lambeau Field, some freak of nature happens and they'll lose 243 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: the game, like they lost the game against Chicago. By 244 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: the way, I don't care if anybody thinks that was 245 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: a ticky tack call. You don't head butt the ref 246 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: for the Detroit Lions. I don't care if you're trying 247 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: to reenact play. I'm sorry, I'm and then you lost 248 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: the game. I just had to get that off my chest. 249 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: Now I feel better. Uh.
