1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 2: What is up? Straight Fire? Fam, It's me Jason McIntyre,

3
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: Straight Fire for Monday, December sixteenth. Your boy is running

4
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 2: on fumes, folks. It was an exhausting weekend. I won't

5
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 2: bore you with too many of the details, but it

6
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: was just it was a tough one on the On

7
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 2: the gambling front, it was actually a profitable NFL Sunday.

8
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: I didn't bet on the Heisman Trophy, but I'm upset

9
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 2: that Ashton Jenty did not win. I don't think we'll

10
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: be able to get to that today because there's so

11
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 2: much good stuff happening. There's the college football world is

12
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 2: getting flipped upside down, and I think we're gonna spend

13
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: some more time on it this week. At the Penn

14
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 2: State backup quarterback is transferring in, all these people are

15
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: up in arms. I don't usually get texts from let's

16
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: just say executives in the sport world. And because Cowhard

17
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 2: and I have been going back and forth on on

18
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: this college football stuff in the transfer portal and the NIL,

19
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: I started getting stuff Sunday when this Penn State backup

20
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 2: quarterback transferred, I'm like, oh my God, this is a

21
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: real story, like people are worked up. It's fascinating. We'll

22
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: dive into it. I actually had to fly to Vegas

23
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 2: this past weekend. No, not a ton of gambling, actually none,

24
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: which you'd be proud of. My wife shirt was for

25
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: my son's volleyball tournament. Yes, young kids going to volley

26
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 2: play Vegas volleyball in Vegas. It was fun. I had

27
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 2: a couple.

28
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 3: Random people just come up to be jam Mac, what

29
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 3: are you doing here? You know, like the guys who

30
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 3: listened to the pot or see the herd, which is fun.

31
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 3: And my son's team performed great, then they got knocked

32
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 3: out of the championship bracket.

33
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: And then my daughter's team in soccer in the local league,

34
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: we made the championship game Sunday, so we had to

35
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: fly back early. And then, of course, you know, we

36
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: played this juggernaut in the championship game. They hadn't lost,

37
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: and we tied them earlier this year when we were

38
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: both at full strength, but they were missing some players,

39
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: shall we say, and no we had our full deck

40
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: and it was tough, but they beat us. And so

41
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 2: now we advance to like the area and then after

42
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 2: that could be regional so now we're gonna be playing

43
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: soccer into twenty twenty five. Not thrilled about that given

44
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 2: the basketball seasons on the horizon, but right now it's

45
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 2: football season, and I don't know where else you start

46
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: on a Monday other than Josh Allen. Folks, The Buffalo

47
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 2: Bills came to Sofar last week and dropped forty two

48
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 2: on the Rams and lost, and you're like, oh, well, well,

49
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: maybe the Bills aren't great. Anybody who said that just

50
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: look at them and be like, you need a reality check.

51
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: Because Buffalo then had to go on the road to Detroit,

52
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 2: Mighty Detroit, everybody's number one team in the power rankings,

53
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: and Buffalo put a herding on them. Now, I know

54
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: the final score is only forty eight forty two, but

55
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: this was an ass kicking. Buffalo decimated Detroit, and you

56
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 2: know the local meatballs are gonna get all up. So

57
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: why would Dan Campbell do on side kick? Were you

58
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: guys watching the game? I'm just curidding people calling out

59
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell for doing an on side kick only down

60
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: ten in the fourth quarter. No, no, no, no, that's

61
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: not the context you need. The context you need is

62
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: Buffalo moved the football at will had five hundred and

63
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: fifty nine yards of offense. They punted once. They're not

64
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: stopping Josh Allen. Josh Allen was on another mission. Two

65
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: more touchdown passes, two more rushing touchdowns. He has locked

66
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: up the MVP. There's not even a discussion, which I

67
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 2: love and the rest of the office. This is where

68
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: it starts to get scary about the Buffalo Bills. If

69
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: I asked you who was their leading receiver in a

70
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: forty eight to forty two win over the Bills, you

71
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: would probably start with, oh, h was it I don't know.

72
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: Maybe Khalil Shakher. No, he had a good game, but

73
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: it wasn't him. Was it Dalton kin Kaid who got back? No, no, no,

74
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: it wasn't him. Was it Keon Coleman, the young kid? Nope?

75
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: One catch sixty four yards? Was it James Cook? No, No,

76
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: it wasn't him. It was someone named Tay Johnson. Five catches,

77
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: one hundred and fourteen yards. Ty Johnson let the Bills

78
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: in receiving in a forty eight point Buffalo offensive effort. Folks,

79
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: this team is scary good Now. Part of me feels

80
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: like an idiot for last year saying the Buffalo Bills

81
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,679
Speaker 2: super Bowl window, it's closed. They can't make it happen.

82
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: And you know what I said that when Ken Dorsey

83
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: was the offensive coordinator of the Bills before they ran

84
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: him out. Now, Ken Dorsey kind of sort of had

85
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: this Ferrari if you will. He just didn't really know

86
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: how to drive stick shift. And if you look at

87
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: what they were doing last year with pretty much the

88
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 2: same pieces, Okay, Ken Kaid was a rookie and Kean

89
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: Coleman wasn't a here obviously, but they had cooked, they

90
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: had Shakir, they actually had Stefan Diggs. They had basically

91
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 2: the same offense, and Joe Brady has made them make

92
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 2: the jump to light speed, folks, eight straight games with

93
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: thirty or more points remembered, This is what's scary about

94
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 2: Joe Brady. So he was with the LSU Tigers when

95
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow was there, and then Joe Brady was the

96
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: bell of the ball because that was the greatest offensive

97
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 2: season in college football history. Joe Burrow put up historic numbers.

98
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: So then Joe Brady's in high demand, right, everybody wants it.

99
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 2: So he goes to the Carolina Panthers as the OC

100
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: and folks, it was a disaster. I mean they they

101
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: could do nothing right. Matt Ruhle hired him. You thought

102
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: it was a great move. I mean he was fired.

103
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 2: I think it was within like maybe less than two

104
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 2: I don't think he made it to two years. They

105
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 2: were like, what this guy, This guy's supposed to know offense.

106
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 2: So he had Burrow in college and he was a genius.

107
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: So then he goes to Buffalo, is the QB coach.

108
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 2: They fire Ken Dorsey in the middle of the last year,

109
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 2: and oh wait, wait, wait, wait a minute, wait a minute,

110
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 2: wait a minute. All of a sudden, Josh Allen is

111
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 2: the MVP, and they go away from a heavy passing

112
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 2: attack with Diggs and say, you know what, We're gonna

113
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 2: feature running backs and tight ends. And now, all of

114
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 2: a sudden, Brady looks like a genius again. And Joe Brady, Oh,

115
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 2: we gotta bring him in for an interview. Folks, let

116
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: me just remind you, no quarterback in Carolina couldn't do

117
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 2: a damn thing. Fired Joe Burrow in college, superstar, Josh

118
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: Allen in the NFL Supers. If you have a quarterback,

119
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: you're gonna do some damage. And right now, I don't

120
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 2: think anyone could argue the Buffalo Bills are the best

121
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 2: team in the league.

122
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 4: Now.

123
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 2: You could actually if you've watched dejoit the last couple

124
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: weeks and you see these injuries mounting. I mean, the

125
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 2: defensive line is just dick God, this is dreamed. They

126
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 2: could not stop anything. They couldn't and the secondary's bad. Okay,

127
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: you could make the case that Philly's better, but Philly

128
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 2: has an issue too it. I'll get to the NFC

129
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 2: at large shortly. But when Jared Goff becomes the first

130
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 2: quarterback in the modern era to throw for four hundred

131
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 2: and more yards, five or more touchdowns and zero interceptions

132
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 2: and lose, yeah, you got defensive problems. So I don't

133
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 2: want to hear this. Bring Let's bring an Aaron Glunnen

134
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 2: to be our new head coach. Like. I like Aaron Glenn.

135
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: He's a former Jet quot, He's done some great things

136
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 2: in Detroit. Just ain't a great defensive unit. Okay, smoking

137
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 2: mirrors most of the way. We saw the Packers expose them,

138
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 2: and now the Bills ran up and down the field

139
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: that you could say, Jay, are some of the best

140
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: teams in the league. Yeah, I want to see what

141
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: you're doing against the best teams in the league. So

142
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: goff quarterbacks that had gone for four hundred yards, five touchdowns,

143
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: zero picks, had been sixteen to o golf takes the

144
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: l and you know, Rob, I don't want to go overboard. Obviously,

145
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: we're saying great things against about the Bills, and I

146
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 2: know I got some Lions fans who listened to this

147
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 2: pod and are all excited. Let's be real here. If

148
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: you look around the NFC and you see this sideline dow,

149
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys saw the sideline beef.

150
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: I mean again, I haven't read fully what the hell

151
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: went down, but it looked like Nick Sirianni was jawjacking

152
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 2: with one of his assistant coaches and a big dob

153
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 2: steps in. The Eagles got I know, they look great

154
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: and they dominated the second half against Steelers. Eagles got

155
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 2: some coaching issues. If they're gonna screw this up, it's

156
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: gonna be on the coach. Now, some people would are

157
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts. It's fine, you could discuss that later. But

158
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 2: if you look at Detroit leaking oil defensively, you look

159
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: at Philadelphia coaching issue, all of a sudden, Rob, I

160
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 2: think you could make an argue meant a credible one

161
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,679
Speaker 2: than man Green Bay Packers what they did on Sunday

162
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: Night football. She's that's a dangerous offensive team. And oh,

163
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: by the way, Baker Mayfield went into Sofi against what

164
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 2: was one of the better defenses in the league. I

165
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 2: know some metrics had them top five, but Baker Mayfield

166
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: went into so Fi and just crushed them. Did you

167
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,119
Speaker 2: see the second half? I mean, Rob, he was carving

168
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 2: up the Chargers badly, like I think Sanchez. Yeah, it

169
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 2: was Mark Sanchez on the call, and I don't know

170
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 2: if people were listening this late into it, but he

171
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 2: took a big shot at Derwin James. I mean he's like,

172
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 2: you know, you're making ten twenty million dollars and you

173
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: got to read the play there. And Derwin James he's

174
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 2: just not a great safety. He's a hitting machine. Some

175
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: would say cheap shot artists. But like, Chargers got some

176
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: problems and the way Baker moved the football, I'm just

177
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 2: I can see some chaos unfolding in the NFC. You

178
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 2: want to buy. Obviously, Detroit and Philly are tied. We'll

179
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 2: see what happens with that. But Rob, I could make

180
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: an argument, keep an eye on Green Bay, keep an

181
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 2: eye on Tampa. Rams are kind of charging hard on

182
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 2: the outside. They look dangerous. So the NFC, you don't

183
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 2: want to call it wide open, but I will just

184
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 2: I'll give it the interesting label if you will.

185
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 4: Sure, and I mean you said a lot there is.

186
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 4: I'm trying to break it down as best I can.

187
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 4: First off with Detroit the Dan Campbell think, to your point,

188
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 4: I had no issue with him kicking the outside kick because,

189
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 4: as you alluded to, not only was their defense getting shredded,

190
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 4: but they entered week fifteen with twelve defensive players on IR.

191
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 4: They lost three more on Sunday during the game, so

192
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 4: fifteen defensive players were hurt for Detroit. We talked about

193
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 4: it last week on the podcast. When it comes to

194
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 4: aggressive play calling and going for when he shouldn't. This

195
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 4: k is kicking an on side kick, it's not always analytics.

196
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 4: It's not always hey, the numbers say we should do this,

197
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 4: let's be over the aggress, let's go for it. Most

198
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 4: of it is situational, and Dan Campbell determined, look, man,

199
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 4: if we can hold these guys to ten more points,

200
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 4: the rest of the way like I'd give my left

201
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 4: arm to do that, because that's how unrealistic it is

202
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 4: right now with the way my defense is not only performing,

203
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 4: but the way we're just the walking wounded at this point.

204
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna go all in right here with ten

205
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 4: minutes left. Kick the onside kick didn't work out. It

206
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 4: is what it is, and think I think to me,

207
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 4: that is why this NFC is as wide open is

208
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 4: you as we we agree it is because I believe

209
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 4: Detroit is the best team in the NFC. I believe

210
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 4: Detroit at their best the best team in football. The

211
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 4: problem is, you can only scotch tape your way so

212
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 4: long before it starts ripping apart that offense, as we

213
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 4: saw with Jared Goff and that running game, they can

214
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 4: score with anybody. They came into Week five teen number

215
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 4: one in the NFL in offense. The problem is with

216
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 4: their patchwork defense. They had to face the number two

217
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 4: offense in football. So that went exactly how you expect

218
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 4: it to go, which brings it back to Josh Allen.

219
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 4: Josh Allen for the longest time on this podcast, on

220
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 4: the radio, on television, I'm sure you guessing on the herd.

221
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 4: It's never been about his talent. No, He's always been

222
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 4: one of, if not the most physically gifted quarterbacks I've

223
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 4: ever seen. The problem was he could never quite stop

224
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 4: himself from going yolo. He didn't have to, but he's like,

225
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 4: you know what, I'm gonna hurdle this defensive back on

226
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 4: fourth and five when I'm seven yards away from the

227
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 4: first down, like you know what, time and place, But like,

228
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 4: I don't think that's the one for you, Josh. Maybe,

229
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 4: like you know what, I see my wide receiver Stefon

230
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 4: Diggs streaking across the middle of the field, I'm gonna

231
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 4: gun this one through four defenders and hit him so

232
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,719
Speaker 4: hard in the check you have no choice for the

233
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 4: catch in and that turns on an interception. So he

234
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 4: would always get to these segments in the game. Not

235
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 4: all the time, but it'd be at least one or

236
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 4: two times a game in a critical moment where he

237
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 4: would make the oh no, what are you doing play?

238
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 4: And earlier this season, credit to Joe Brady, he said,

239
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 4: we're gonna go full on governor on Josh Allen. We're

240
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 4: gonna limit so he can't even get to fifty five,

241
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 4: Like he's gonna be hamstrung. He's gonna be handing the

242
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 4: ball more than ever. He's gonna be checking the ball

243
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 4: down more than ever. And that's how we're gonna play football.

244
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 2: Oh, hold on, Rob, that's a really good I just

245
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 2: do you want to guess how many interceptions Josh Allen

246
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 2: had last year? No cheating, ooh, fourteen eighteen. A year

247
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 2: before that was fourteen. So we had eighteen last year.

248
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 2: He has five this year. And his pass the numbers

249
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: are way down. His attempts exactly, are about two hundred fewer.

250
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: Now.

251
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 2: There's still three games left, but they'll still be at

252
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: least one hundred fewer.

253
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 4: Yeah. And so what they did with Joe Brady did,

254
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 4: which was smart, and even though I questioned it to

255
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 4: myself in the beginning, is he decided I'm gonna put

256
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 4: the shackles on him. We're gonna play a very restrictive

257
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 4: offensive game plan, lean on the running game, lean on

258
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 4: the defense, and that's how we're gonna play. And that

259
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 4: worked for them because they were winning at a high clip.

260
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 4: Then they ran into Baltimore got their doors blown off,

261
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 4: kind of showed that they can't always do that against everybody.

262
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 4: What we've seen now in the last month. In the

263
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 4: last two weeks especially is they have successfully married the

264
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 4: yolo Josh Allen with the conservative Josh Allen, and you

265
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 4: are seeing for the last two weeks is probably like

266
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 4: the greatest football player we've ever seen. I mean, just

267
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 4: look at the numbers, all right. I know this sounds

268
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 4: like hyperbole, but I promise you if you hear it,

269
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 4: you're gonna understand what I'm talking about. The last two weeks,

270
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 4: Josh Allen is averaging three hundred and fifty two passing

271
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 4: yards per game to go along with seventy five rushing

272
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 4: yards per game. He has ten total touchdowns, zero turnal

273
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 4: first Like, are you You couldn't do that in Madden

274
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 4: on easy mode if you tried. What Josh Allen is

275
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 4: doing is otherworldly and it's a marvel to be quite honest,

276
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 4: it's a treat to watch him play football right now

277
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 4: in the NFL.

278
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the rushing numbers that you cited. So

279
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: it's funny. And this was part of the handicap right

280
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: late in the season. What do they do, Josh, win

281
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 2: the damn game with your legs? So rob He had

282
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 2: zero double digit carry games before the Kansas City game.

283
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 2: Three of the last four games, twelve carries ten and eleven.

284
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 2: He's running way more rushing touchdowns. In the first let's see,

285
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: like nine weeks he had three. In the last five games,

286
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 2: he has eight. They have adapted. This is a really

287
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 2: smart football team. He's running more the accuracy. I mean,

288
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 2: I don't know what. Like, I'm just wondering, like who

289
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,479
Speaker 2: stops this team? Like if you look at the AFC,

290
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 2: Baltimore's defense is garbage. And I know Baltimore beat them

291
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 2: and body bagged him earlier. That was that was in September,

292
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 2: right that we tossed that out the window. Yep, Houston's

293
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 2: defense is not very good, although it showed okay, and

294
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 2: they did beat I know they beat him and Josh

295
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 2: Allen's nine for thirty. Again, he was concussed that game.

296
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 2: That's oh, that's right, he was.

297
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 4: That was the game he was concussed.

298
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 2: And then you look around, like what are the good

299
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 2: defenses are in the AFC? The Chiefs defense, I know

300
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 2: they had like a billion sacks against fucking sorry against

301
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 2: James Winston, you know, but like that that game, so

302
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 2: it was like five turnovers, Come on, I don't put

303
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 2: much stock in that. I just I don't know who's

304
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 2: beating Buffalo in the playoffs right now. If Josh Allen

305
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 2: continues playing like this, I don't think anyone is right.

306
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 4: I think, if you're gonna be Buffalo in the playoff again,

307
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 4: this is unsustainable to be going. What he's doing is ungodly,

308
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 4: But I think he can do a reasonable facsimbly of

309
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 4: it the rest of the way and into the postseason.

310
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 4: If you're gonna be Buffalo, left outscore him because they've

311
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 4: scored at least thirty points. And I believe EHTRA games. Yeah,

312
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 4: and and as far as I can tell, I got

313
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 4: to look it up again, but I believe that's an

314
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 4: NFL record.

315
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 2: So I think a couple other teams have covered.

316
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 4: But like, what they're doing is, hey, you heard of

317
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 4: the greatest show on turf, Like, we're them with a

318
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 4: bigger quarterback, and.

319
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 2: We can do it in outdoors exactly, we do it

320
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: in the snow.

321
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 4: So if you're going to beat them, it's gonna take

322
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 4: your offense to be able to match their offense. So

323
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 4: that to me, if it comes down to just matchups,

324
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 4: that eliminates Kansas City, that eliminates Houston, Pittsburgh.

325
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 2: Did you see the TJ. Watt injury.

326
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 4: I did. I it's not great, it's terrible, and so

327
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 4: to me, if it's just matchups, the only team I

328
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 4: think that can beat Buffalo in a playoff game would

329
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 4: be Baltimore.

330
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 2: Keep play, keep away with Lamar and Derek.

331
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. That doesn't mean that I think that they're

332
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 4: the best team. I could see the Chiefs beating Baltimore

333
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 4: and throwing home Munkys whole thing. But it's just if

334
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 4: it comes down to matchups, the only team I think

335
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 4: that can score with them in the AFC would be Baltimore.

340
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,239
Speaker 2: I do have to give a quick shout out to

341
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 2: bo Nix and the Denver Broncos. They didn't lock up

342
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 2: a playoff spot, but it appears that they have locked.

343
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 2: I mean, they're as close as possible. Rob. I don't

344
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 2: know how much you watch this game. Obviously, the Fantasy

345
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 2: football playoffs were happening. You know, my son's very excited.

346
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 2: He's going to his first championship. There's like real money

347
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 2: on the line, so he's all geeked. And I'm paying

348
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 2: attention to Fantasy a lot. And I had the Colts

349
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 2: in the contest this week and they're up thirteen to seven,

350
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 2: and Jonathan Taylor breaks off like a forty yard touchdown

351
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 2: and scores, and I look and I'm facing Taylor in

352
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 2: Fantasy and I'm like, damn it, and I have the

353
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: Fantasy app open, and then it takes the points off

354
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 2: and I'm like, wait what. So then I go back

355
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 2: to the game on red zone and they're reviewing Jonathan Taylor,

356
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 2: like a few idiots before him, has a walk in

357
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 2: touchdown and celebrates too early and drops the football the

358
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 2: one half yard line and they reviewed it and took

359
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 2: the touchdown off the board.

360
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: Rob.

361
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 2: It was thirteen to seven. That touchdown would have made

362
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 2: it twenty seven. Twenty to seven, Colts in the lead,

363
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: still early, I think second quarter, but the Cults were

364
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 2: in control of that game.

365
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 4: Rob.

366
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 2: After that screw up by Jonathan Taylor, the Denver Broncos

367
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 2: went on a twenty four to zero run. It totally

368
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 2: rarely does a play in the second quarter completely flip

369
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 2: a game. I can't recall a team unable to get

370
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 2: out of a funk like what happened with the Colts.

371
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 2: I mean that Jonathan Taylors grew up and he was

372
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 2: on the sideline his teammates for consoling him, and I'm like, dude.

373
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 4: You're a veteran.

374
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 2: You're not like a young rookie, second year guy who

375
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 2: just screwed up. You've been in the league for many years.

376
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 2: You're making a ton of money. That is so embarrassing.

377
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 2: And then the cults were so desperate they try to

378
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 2: trick play rob. The Richardson passed to a guy, a

379
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 2: wide receiver who pretended like he was gonna throw it downfield,

380
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 2: but then threw back to Richardson. And Nick Benito, the

381
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 2: awesome linebacker who had to pick six last week on

382
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 2: Monday Night Football, was just sitting on it and I've

383
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 2: never seen this before. He intercepted the pass back and

384
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 2: ran in untouched and then celebrated with the Marshawn Lynch

385
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 2: flipping in the air and grabbing his junk, which was

386
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 2: listen kind of spectacular. That would hurt man. And I

387
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 2: got to I don't know what to make of the

388
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,719
Speaker 2: Broncos because bon Nicks threw three interceptions. He had like

389
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: seventy five yards passing close to halftime. I don't think

390
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 2: I honestly think Drake may right now is better. Is

391
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 2: showing better than Bonicks. But boon Nicks has a great

392
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 2: head coach. Bonnicks has Courtland Sutton. I mean Drake may

393
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 2: has nobody. He's got nothing to work with, and you

394
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 2: watch him. And I was watching with my daughter and

395
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 2: she's like, whoa, oh, Patriots have a good quarterback. I

396
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 2: was like, this guy came. Honestly, he's not played that much,

397
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 2: but I think Drake may Loo looked pretty good. I

398
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 2: just don't know what to do with the Broncos, Like,

399
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 2: are they gonna get into a playoff game and shock

400
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 2: people because they have Peyton? Or is it just like,

401
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 2: let's let's be real these guys think no.

402
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 4: I think that we talked about them maybe two or

403
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 4: three weeks ago, and I think what we agreed at

404
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 4: the time was they beat the teams they are supposed

405
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 4: to beat. And say what you want about the Colts,

406
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 4: you know, I know that they were plucky in the

407
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 4: playoff race, but nobody viewsed the Colts as a good

408
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 4: football team right now. Nobody views Anthony Richardson as a

409
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 4: good NFL quarterback. I mean, he might be the worst

410
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 4: starting quarterback in the NFL. The problem is you invest

411
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 4: that kind of draft equity, you kind of have no

412
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 4: choice put to roll him out there. And what the

413
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 4: Broncos do and what the Chargers do for that matter,

414
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 4: is they beat the teams that they are supposed to beat.

415
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 4: And if you just do that in the NFL, you

416
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 4: can get to the playoffs. You can win eight, nine,

417
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 4: ten games, as long as you don't have a situation

418
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 4: like Baltimore does. You know repeatedly this season where you

419
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 4: inexplicably lose to the Raiders or you lose to the

420
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 4: Browns and you have one of these terrible losses on

421
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 4: your resume that kind of throws everything off. You're gonna

422
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 4: be just fine. And so what Denver does is they

423
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 4: play very good defense and you saw that on Sunday,

424
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 4: and the offense does normally does just enough for them

425
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 4: to win these games. And you know kind of played

426
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 4: it out that way on Sunday where that play by Benito.

427
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 4: I was confused because I was watching it as it happened,

428
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 4: like on the red zone. I was like, is that

429
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 4: an interception or is that a fumble return?

430
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:14,719
Speaker 2: I think they called it a fumble.

431
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 4: I think they did too, But at the time I

432
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 4: was like, I'm so confis like that was worse than

433
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 4: in that part because there was such a bad.

434
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 2: Play, absolutely bizarre, real quick. I just I gotta talk

435
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 2: about Chiefs fans who are insufferable. Apologies to the normal

436
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 2: Chiefs fans that you know, the four of you out there.

437
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 2: Kansas City goes to the dog Pound and wins handily.

438
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 2: Like I said, Jameis Winston and the Browns had six turnovers.

439
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 2: Come on, they didn't get to the red zone, ones whatever.

440
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 2: Spagnolo just blitzed the hell out of Jamis and he

441
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: vomited all over himself and then got benched. But it's

442
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 2: not really about that. Patrick Mahomes turns an ankle doesn't

443
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 2: seem that bad. However, this is what Chiefs fans don't

444
00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 2: blame anybody except the NFL. So because the playoff game

445
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 2: that they put the NFL put on, Peacock got so

446
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 2: so many downloads for Peacock. It was a massive win.

447
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 2: They've been championing the numbers forever. The NFL was like,

448
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 2: oh we got something here.

449
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 4: Taylor.

450
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 2: So we have Patrick Mahomes. So okay, let's do a

451
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 2: Christmas Day game with the Chiefs. And then you look

452
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 2: at the calendar and Christmas is on Wednesday. And if

453
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 2: you guys remember way back as soon as the schedule

454
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 2: came out, one of the biggest things that jumped out

455
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 2: was Holy cal The Chiefs play on every day of

456
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 2: the week except for Tuesday. They got Monday at Football, Wednesday,

457
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 2: Christmas they played on Thursday. There was a Black Friday game.

458
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 2: Also another hey, we need to put that on streaming.

459
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 2: They had a Saturday, and then all of a Sunday

460
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 2: they're on every day or the Saturday's coming up, and

461
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 2: they've got a Sunday. Obviously the Sunday's late. So now

462
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes turns an ankle. The Chiefs have, wait for it,

463
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 2: three games and eleven days trying to hold onto the

464
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 2: number one seed.

465
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 4: They should be.

466
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 2: Fine because that Bill's lost the Rams and now it's like, oh, well,

467
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 2: wait a minute, they have a huge game against the

468
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 2: Texans on Saturday. Now, I don't think the Texans are

469
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: very good. We're not gonna waste time on them. Right now.

470
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 2: They got to win over Miami Houston has to go outdoors.

471
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 2: I'm sure it'll be frigid. I think Casey will be okay.

472
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 2: But what's interesting is should they slip up against Houston,

473
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 2: then yeah, I don't even know Mahomes is gonna play.

474
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: We'll see.

475
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 2: Maybe it's two weeks, Maybe it's a high ankles play.

476
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 2: Who knows, Maybe it's nothing. He's a bionic man, he'll

477
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 2: be fine. But then they got the quick turnaround against

478
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh on the road. So if they lose to Houston

479
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 2: and then the window, oh well, could they lose to

480
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh too? And again, this is not a great Chiefs team.

481
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 2: I mean, and Rob, this is the toughest part. Like

482
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 2: I know the NFL really wants to showcase his team, Bro,

483
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 2: They're boring as hell. Like how many Kareem Hunt dives

484
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 2: into the line can you watch? It's just I mean, honestly,

485
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 2: it's unwatchable. So there's Noah gree for six, there's a

486
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,479
Speaker 2: My Home Scramble for twelve, and all the scrambles get

487
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 2: the first down. Fine, whatever, They're just not fun. They're

488
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 2: not a fun, exciting team. You want to put somebody

489
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 2: on a streaming service that I'll watch. Put Josh Allen

490
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 2: on the Bills offense, I guess you put Detroit. They're fun. Honestly,

491
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 2: Green Bay has bet way better weapons than Casey. I

492
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 2: don't think Casey's like a top ten watch in the

493
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 2: NFL right now.

494
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 4: Do you? No, of course not.

495
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 2: They're just not peop want to think I'm being a hater,

496
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 2: but I know you're You could Rob and I disagree

497
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 2: on a ton But if you are an objective fan,

498
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 2: like I don't think Kansas City's fun to watch, They're

499
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 2: just not fun. I know they win, but I'm out

500
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 2: on them. I and I cheese fans are gonna be

501
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 2: upset about this. But you only have the NFL to blame.

502
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 2: All this talk about old ratings and great wonderful, Well,

503
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 2: you know what, You're gonna get screwed because the NFL

504
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 2: wants to showcase you and now you gotta play three

505
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 2: games and eleven days. And oh, by the way, Patrick

506
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 2: Mahomes is hurt Pop quoiz Rob And I don't know

507
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 2: the answer. Who is the backup quarterback to Patrick Mahomes?

508
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 4: Oh I do know the answer to this question.

509
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 2: Carson Wentz, Carson Woods, Oh, no, you gotta be I'm

510
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 2: gonna get Carson Wentz on Saturday in an Island game

511
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 2: against the Texans.

512
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, Holy hell, don't call it a comeback Carson Wentz.

513
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 2: Maybe on Christmas. There's no way I'll watch the NBA,

514
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 2: which I don't know. Rob aside, real quick, what happened?

515
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 2: Why ares people like taking all these jabs at the

516
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 2: NBA this week? What am I missing?

517
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 3: Oh?

518
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 4: I mean I'm sure. I mean you and Colin talked

519
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 4: about it. And the ratings have fallen off the proverbial

520
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 4: cliff in the NBA.

521
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 2: But they're never good in November December.

522
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I mean they're way down, way way way down.

523
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, even that fraudulent NBA Cup is down.

524
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, hey, Lakers got an NBA Cup?

525
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 4: What do you rain as the As a fan of

526
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 4: the reigning and defending NBA Cup champions, I feel like

527
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 4: I can say this that the NBA Cup is just

528
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,479
Speaker 4: a terrible idea. There's no reason. There is no did

529
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 4: last year, there is no reason why you should have

530
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 4: to pay these guys additional money when they're already making

531
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 4: twenty thirty forty fifty million dollars. So it's a money

532
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 4: thing that's all.

533
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 2: That's all.

534
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 4: The NBA has gotten to a point where the regular

535
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 4: season becomes so irrelevant that Adam Silver's trying to find

536
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 4: new any ways to make them care about it.

537
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,479
Speaker 2: Isn't that what baseball did with the pitch clock. Baseball

538
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 2: doing the same thing. There's too many games.

539
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, what the NBA needs to do it's way down

540
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 4: to the tagent right now is it's become pretty clear

541
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 4: that Number one, the way that the regular season is

542
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,959
Speaker 4: no longer important. Load management taught us that, you know,

543
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 4: guys like me and you and Colin and steven A

544
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 4: and Skip and all, you know, saying hey, wake me

545
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 4: up in the playoffs, I don't care about what James

546
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 4: Harden's doing. I don't care about what Joel mb is

547
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 4: doing because until the win's in the playoffs, ye idea

548
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 4: like that. That's kind of hurt Number one. Number two

549
00:26:54,760 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 4: the three point shot. Oh, where it's become basically, whoever

550
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 4: makes the most threes is going to win the game.

551
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 2: Oh well, hold on, Warriors made I think twenty seven

552
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 2: threes last night and lost.

553
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 4: So how many? How many did Dallas make?

554
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 2: Dallas made twenty one to forty one?

555
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 4: Okay, so you know what I mean, like, I.

556
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 2: Love as a three point gutter, you know, I love it,

557
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 2: but I shouldn't have taken us down.

558
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 4: It's got to be something, you know, where they eliminate

559
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 4: the corner three. Like, They've got to make some fundamental

560
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 4: changes to the to the sport to get people back

561
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 4: because it's it's a tough watch.

562
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 2: Wait do you be back? We're I shouldn't have gone here.

563
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 2: I don't know where they're going. It's not like they're

564
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 2: they're starting to watch like college basketball or.

565
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 4: I don't raise for that. Are fine?

566
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 2: Right?

567
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: So what are they saying?

568
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 2: People just aren't tuning in for TNT anymore. I mean,

569
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 2: oh well, I'm sorry people are spending time with their families.

570
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 4: We could do a whole podcast on I'm one of

571
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 4: the people who says that Inside the NBA is actually

572
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 4: part of the problem. I could.

573
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 2: I don't really watch it until the playoffs.

574
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 4: I just just real, quick ten seconds. You cannot have

575
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 4: the most famous forward facing television show of your league,

576
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 4: which is Inside the NBA is and all they do

577
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 4: is ship on the current players over like and how

578
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 4: bad that's.

579
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 2: A good point, you know what I mean? Oh, I

580
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 2: might steal that rup. I loved it because I just

581
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 2: thought of it. And if you watch any NFL show,

582
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 2: it's all cheerleader pompos Yeah of course, nobody's yeah yeah.

583
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 2: And yet on the number one show for the NBA,

584
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 2: all they do is take shots of players.

585
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 4: Let's tell you how bad it is and how soft

586
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 4: it is.

587
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I love that. I'm gonna just go after

588
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 2: Barkley in those clients. Oh, I love it. I love it. Anyways,

589
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 2: all right, let me get back to the NFL. You know,

590
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 2: it was kind of a weird that we had five

591
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 2: games in the afternoon window rob and then none of

592
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 2: them turned out to be good, Like, none of them

593
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,479
Speaker 2: were interesting. I did think the other interesting thing that

594
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 2: sucks and cost me a little bit of money was

595
00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,239
Speaker 2: this is why you tease. And if you go back

596
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 2: to Friday's podcast, actually, the NFL bets were pretty damn

597
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:06,959
Speaker 2: good that Washington Commanders got. They should have won by

598
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 2: seven and should have been a push home. Homer clock

599
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 2: operator just decides, well, I'm gonna stop that. Maybe nobody's

600
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 2: paying attention. I'll just stop the clock even though he's

601
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 2: tackled at the one and and they don't have any timeouts,

602
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 2: and gave them an extra five seconds, which allowed UH

603
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 2: New Orleans to actually score a touchdown and then go

604
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 2: for the two. Imagine Rob if New Orleans had gotten

605
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 2: the two pointer and won the game, that could have

606
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if it would have cost

607
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 2: Washington a playoff spot, but I mean that would have

608
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 2: been really a black eye for the league. And it's

609
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 2: so weird that the how did the refs not see

610
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 2: it when every single person in a stadium and watching

611
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 2: knew what the hell was going on?

612
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 4: Exactly. I saw that Hockey League gave some kind of explanation,

613
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 4: you know, to the best that he could without throwing

614
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 4: his guys under the bus. It was just an error

615
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 4: as a mistaken like it was no big deal.

616
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think.

617
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 4: I don't think people understand how big of a deal

618
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 4: that play was. Like I understand, you're like, hey, Washington

619
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 4: one in the game. Is what it is that I

620
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 4: didn't cover this bread Like the NFL is in cahoots

621
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 4: with every single major gambling outlet there is. Right, don't

622
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 4: forget fantasy either, fantasy and fantasy football.

623
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 2: Washington defense was started by people like.

624
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 4: Exactly, And so when you have a situation like that

625
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 4: where it is so clearly impacting the bottom line for

626
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna say millions, but hundreds of thousands of

627
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 4: people who have either bet or playing fantasy lays of

628
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 4: that game. If Roger Goodell and the league office don't

629
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 4: come down horror on that officiating crew, I'm not saying fire,

630
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 4: but suspend him. Fire something major, so you know, like, hey,

631
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 4: this was a complete one off. You have no reasona

632
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 4: believe that this might be some kind of shady backdoor

633
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 4: dealing to cover the spread. Like you cannot have that

634
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 4: on your watch right now if you're the NFL.

635
00:30:55,120 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's extremely disappointing that the refs. Just I you've

636
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 2: got to get this stuff right. It's there's how many

637
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 2: I mean, conservatively you could say that game was a

638
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 2: you know again with teasers, parlays all that crap. You

639
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 2: could conservatively, and I'm just pulling a number out of

640
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 2: my ass, but I'm guessing here at least five million

641
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,959
Speaker 2: dollars on swung on that garbagee and that just I mean,

642
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 2: that might be way way low, but I can tell

643
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 2: you it's not way It can't be much lower than that.

644
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 2: It's only going to be higher than that. And again

645
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 2: we're talking offshore legal, illegal. Like, there's just so much

646
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 2: crap at stake. It's just disappointing the league would screw

647
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 2: that up. All right, what was the I had one

648
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 2: other thing out? Yeah, okay, here we go, so I

649
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,719
Speaker 2: want to revisit we can wrap up. Well, I'll get

650
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 2: the best bets for Monday night football on a secon.

651
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 2: But let me quickly wrap up with this Eagles Steelers game.

652
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 2: So one of my favorite stats rob from Sunday was

653
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 2: the Eagles defense just totally locked down Pittsburgh in the

654
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 2: second half. I don't know if you saw this. Pittsburgh

655
00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 2: only ran eleven plays in the entire second half. Now

656
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 2: here's the problem that is going to be extrapolated to

657
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: next week's game, which is against the wait for it,

658
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens. Pickens still not back, and I just wonder,

659
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 2: is this a situation where man Pittsburgh gets screwed. But

660
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 2: the other side of the story is even better, and

661
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 2: that's the Philadelphia Eagles and Jalen Hurts. Jalen Hurts made

662
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 2: a very big point to force feed a j Brown

663
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 2: Eleven catches, oh sorry, eleven targets, eight catches, one hundred

664
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 2: and ten yards touchdown. Really good game for a j Brown.

665
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 2: But weirdly, you know, Hurts lost a fumble on a

666
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 2: scramble and I know the numbers, the counting numbers say

667
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 2: he was good, but when you watch him, I had

668
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 2: somebody try to make the argument in Philly to me

669
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 2: that he's holding them back more than Sirianni. I think

670
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 2: Sirian is a problem. But when sae Quon Barkley went

671
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 2: down rob in the second quarter, this offense went just

672
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 2: in the tank. They couldn't do anything, like, they couldn't

673
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 2: move the football. Pittsburgh was down seventeen to three, and

674
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 2: they creep back into the game second half. Parkley returned,

675
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 2: he was okay, and Hurts did some good things, but

676
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 2: I was I was a little troubled watching this offense

677
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 2: with Hurts at the hell Yeah.

678
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 4: And you know, I don't know who you spoke to

679
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 4: in Philadelphia, but I'm actually one of those people who

680
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 4: agrees that if Philadelphia ends up flaming out of the

681
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 4: playoffs and right now they should be the phibited favorite,

682
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 4: given what's going on with the Lion's defense, it's gonna

683
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 4: be because of Jalen Hurts. And he made this comment.

684
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 4: When he meant to meet to the almost the first

685
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 4: thing he said was, did you guys see what you want?

686
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 4: Like what you saw? Something like that, because you know,

687
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 4: it's been a big talking point the last week about

688
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 4: the offense and AJ Brown and the beef that's going

689
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 4: on was going on with him allegedly, and Jalen Hurts

690
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 4: played great. Like I'm not gonna say he didn't.

691
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 3: He he was.

692
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 4: The numbers look great, you know, the he looked like

693
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 4: he was in command. You don't have a was it

694
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 4: eleven minute drive to close the game unless you're doing

695
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 4: some things right at the quarterback position. The problem that

696
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 4: I have with that and what he said after the

697
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 4: game is there's a lot of guys who have won

698
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 4: good game and can come and puff their chest like

699
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 4: we saw Sam Howell on Sunday n that look like

700
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 4: maybe one of the worst quarterbacks we've ever seen in football.

701
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 4: But I've seen him play well in Washington, you know,

702
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 4: at times a year or two ago like That's it's

703
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 4: not unheard of.

704
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

705
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 4: The difference is is that if you look at the

706
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 4: other nine games in their ten game winning streak, the

707
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 4: reason your team was winning is because they took the

708
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 4: ball out of your hands, my guy, Like this, this

709
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 4: game is the outlier. This is the exception, This is

710
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 4: not the rule. If you can keep this up and

711
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 4: you finish the season like, hey, we're instead of going

712
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 4: back to throwing the ball twenty three twenty four times,

713
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 4: I'm back up to thirty thirty one, Like how most

714
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 4: franchise quarterback quarterbacks are doing it. Then sure, say whatever

715
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 4: you want, but like this this, I still have a

716
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 4: hard time fully trusting Jalen Hurts in the postseason when

717
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 4: he has to go through a litany of top flight

718
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 4: quarterback head coach combinations.

719
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't think he was great. The numbers that

720
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 2: he was pretty good. I just come back to Sirianni

721
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 2: because the guy just he just I don't want to

722
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 2: be mean, but I'll just say this. So all these

723
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 2: Eagles fans saying he's won seventy percent of his games,

724
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 2: you guys are dumb, Like, Okay, coaching records matter. Okay, sure,

725
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 2: all these guys must have forgot John Fox in Denver

726
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 2: thirteen and three, thirteen and three, twelve and four fired. Okay,

727
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 2: coach record is It's just like quarterback wins is not

728
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 2: a stat. Coaching records can be a little deceiving. I'll

729
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 2: never forget Marty Schottenheimer fourteen and two with the Chargers.

730
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 2: That was a team with Rivers and Ladani and they

731
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 2: were awesome. They were awesome, and they lose in the playoffs.

732
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 2: I forget it. I don't think it was the Jets.

733
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 2: It might have been the Patriots. But they lose in

734
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 2: the playoffs and Marty Schottenheimer gets fired. It's not always Hey,

735
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 2: the coach won a bunch of games, he must be good.

736
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 2: There are relationships that matter in the building. There's hey,

737
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 2: how do you handle adversity? How are you coming from behind?

738
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 2: Are you only a good front runner? Do you never

739
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 2: score in the first quarter? But as your team's never prepared.

740
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 2: And there's just so many issues that I see with

741
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 2: this team. I'm not pointing all of mat Sirianni I

742
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 2: will maintain. If they lose in the first round of

743
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,240
Speaker 2: the playoffs, I think he will be fired. I don't

744
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 2: think he strikes me as a great in game manager.

745
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 2: You know, if it's like, you know, I'm trying to

746
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 2: think of a coach in the NFC who he'd go

747
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 2: up against. But you know, McVeigh or Sirianni. I know

748
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 2: the Eagles have a great defense and the Rams defense

749
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 2: ain't great, but I think there's a big edge in

750
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 2: coaching to McVeagh. I trust McVeagh way more. Now you know, unfortunately,

751
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 2: you know Dan Campbell's not oh La Floor in green Bay.

752
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 4: You tell us that I was the one I was

753
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 4: thinking about yet.

754
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 2: Lafloor in Green Bay. And now I know they met

755
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 2: in the opener and every Eagles won. The game was

756
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:43,760
Speaker 2: in Brazil.

757
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 4: It was Week one.

758
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 2: A lot has changed. I mean, you watch the Packers

759
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 2: on Sunday Night football, Rube Man, that team looks good.

760
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 2: There's a greed a Seattle defense playing at home that

761
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 2: kind of body bags some folks earlier this year and

762
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 2: Green Bay went up and down if you kind of

763
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 2: did whatever they want. And this wasn't even a big

764
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 2: Jacob's game. It was like, oh, there's Roby up Dobbs

765
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 2: doing things. There's Jaydon Reid. Oh, Christian Watson, yeah he's

766
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 2: still playing. They just got guys all over the place.

767
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 2: They're tight ends winning jump balls, like I'm wow. So

768
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 2: I don't I don't feel great. I have a couple

769
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,479
Speaker 2: of tickets on the Eagles to win the Super Bowl.

770
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 2: One of them is Eagles over is it Chiefs? I

771
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 2: think it's Eagles over Chiefs And Eagles over Bills were

772
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 2: two of my bets. We'll see if they come true.

773
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 2: But yeah, it would be nice to cash an Eagles

774
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 2: Super Bowl ticket. How'd you do in fantasy? By the way, Rob,

775
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 2: you know what?

776
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 4: This is a fun story. I got a combined one

777
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 4: point four points from my quarterback. My wide receiver too

778
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 4: in my defense.

779
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 2: Wait, who's your quarterback?

780
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:47,280
Speaker 4: Tua?

781
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 2: Oh god? He was that bad?

782
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 4: Is that bad?

783
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 2: I didn't know he was that.

784
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 4: Cooper Cup famously got the zero points zero? Did you

785
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 4: win if I get ten points from Will was it

786
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 4: Reiker Rashar, the kicker from Minnesota Vikings. Yes, if I

787
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,240
Speaker 4: get ten points from him tonight, which is the perfect

788
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 4: We did the best bet. I will survive in advance

789
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 4: and get to know my finals.

790
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 2: Who the hell who were you playing? Do you have

791
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 2: Davante Adams?

792
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: No?

793
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 4: I had Brian Thomas Junior who went off for me.

794
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 2: Oh he did?

795
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: Yeah?

796
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 4: I have aj Brown had a very good game and

797
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:19,919
Speaker 4: even though he can't get in the end zone, Trade

798
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 4: McBride is very solidly getting me like seventeen to eighteen

799
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 4: points again.

800
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 2: Oh what a beast, just.

801
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 4: Can't get it the hand zone.

802
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: He's good.

803
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 2: My son's team is going to be in the championship.

804
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 2: He is super geeked. I think I mentioned he did.

805
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if I told you this srub. So

806
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 2: he's been begging me to start trading crypto. He's thirteen,

807
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 2: and I guess it's like he's into it, thinks he

808
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,919
Speaker 2: can make a lot of money. So, like a good dad,

809
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 2: I opened an account for him on one of the

810
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 2: trading platforms and I said, listen, I will give you

811
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 2: one hundred bucks and this is all I'm giving you.

812
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 2: If you lose it in a day, it's gone. If

813
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 2: you lose it in a week, too bad. Okay, you

814
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,919
Speaker 2: need to learn some lessons in investing right, So by

815
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 2: and hold strategy work great. He don't want to do that.

816
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 2: Then he starts day trading and he's like, Dad, these

817
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 2: fees what is his fees? Ten cents twelve cents of trade?

818
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: What is this?

819
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 2: I've lost like eight dollars in trades. I was like, oh, yeah, interesting,

820
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 2: buy and hold, you know, trying to teach him that.

821
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 2: So he then starts realizing, like, how do I get

822
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 2: more money to put in there. Hundreds not enough. Now

823
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 2: he didn't lose it. He's I think even or up

824
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 2: or down a little, whatever the number is. And he said,

825
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 2: if I win this fantasy championship, I'm putting all.

826
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 4: Of them all.

827
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 2: I was like, no, no, no, no, We're not let

828
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 2: that happen. Dog, that's not happen. But he's in the championship.

829
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 2: One league I thought was the playoffs, but it was

830
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 2: the final game of the regular season. It's a twelve

831
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 2: team league and the dude has two weeks. Only four

832
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 2: teams make the playoffs. I was stunned, so I thought

833
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 2: I was loose. I thought I lost, But it was

834
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 2: just the last regular season game and I'm final advance

835
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 2: to the playoffs next week and then the other league.

836
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 2: I'm in the Fox team, the Fox League, running second

837
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 2: or third place all season long. Rob. It hurt. It

838
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 2: looks like I'm gonna lose unless I get some good

839
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 2: fortunes my way in Monday Night football. But I think

840
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 2: I ran into Yeah it was ceedee lamb. James James

841
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,760
Speaker 2: Connor is a machine dude. Yeah, he just fantasy Anyways,

842
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 2: you guys don't care. I don't care. Do you don't

843
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 2: care because I care and Rob here, and I care

844
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 2: about Rob's team. Everybody wants extra spending money on the holiday.

Speaker 1: Here's your best bet.

851
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Monday Night football.

852
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: Two games.

853
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 2: Actually, I don't I thought that was just an early

854
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:58,439
Speaker 2: season thing, Rob.

855
00:40:58,520 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 4: Is that a terrible idea?

856
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,399
Speaker 2: Is this a first time thing? Have they done this before?

857
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 4: I mean they've I can't remember them doing it this

858
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 4: late in the season.

859
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's that's why I'm thrown off. I have

860
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 2: in the account vikings minus seven plus one oh two.

861
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 2: You know, I don't feel like that's a great line.

862
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,919
Speaker 2: Currently it is at oh minus seven plus one hundred. Okay,

863
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 2: so it really hasn't moved. I know you had been

864
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 2: running hot on your what.

865
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 4: Are they called lead, the friendly fade?

866
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 2: Okay, how did that go?

867
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 4: No, it just totally fell apart there on Sunday. So

868
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 4: I was twelve and three over the last three weeks

869
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 4: coming into today.

870
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:35,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you ran.

871
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 4: Hot a little bit there, ran really hot.

872
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 2: Did you have any of these games in it?

873
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 4: No, And so I went one and four on Sunday.

874
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 2: It happens, man. I mean, Vikings minus seven sounds silly

875
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 2: Bears coming off a horrendous performance, though bounce back. It's

876
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 2: a divisional matchup. These guys have pride. I'm assuming I'm

877
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 2: on the wrong side here. I kind of like the

878
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 2: under but it looks like defense has been optional around

879
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 2: the league last weeks, so I'd be careful with that.

880
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 2: And plus fluky defensive touchdowns, Vikings will be blitzing the

881
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 2: hell out of Caleb. Expect Caleb to kind of sort

882
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 2: of screw up. But I wonder if guys like DJ

883
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 2: Moore are playing to stay in Chicago. My guess is

884
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 2: new regime, some guys are gonna be on the outs.

885
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 2: So I'm curious to see who gives an effort from

886
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 2: the Bears because there wasn't much last week. Meanwhile, this

887
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 2: Vikings offense, Hockinson, Addison, Jefferson, Aaron Jones, like they got

888
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 2: they got some dudes, and you wonder Detroit lost. I

889
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 2: wonder if Minnesota said, Hm, you know what, We're not

890
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 2: out of this thing yet. That Detroit defense, I didn't

891
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 2: know they had twelve guys on ir on the defense.

892
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 2: And if Minnesota wins, they gained ground and you know,

893
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 2: who the hell knows.

894
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 4: What could happen. Yeah, And to your point about what

895
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 4: was it six seven minutes ago talking about the Jalen

896
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 4: Hurts situation. The two teams that I thought off the

897
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 4: top of my head about the quarterback head coach combination

898
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 4: that would easily take in Philadelphia is Green Bay a try,

899
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 4: I said, And Minnesota and and that, And if you

900
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 4: would have said that a year ago, Oh, give me

901
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 4: Sam Donald over Jalen Hurts any day of the way,

902
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,399
Speaker 4: like you'd get laughed out of the gym. But Sam

903
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 4: Donald is quietly having an MVP caliber season. If Josh

904
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 4: Allen and Lamar Jackson didn't exist, he'd probably be a

905
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 4: top two guy, Like he's top five and everything and

906
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 4: his team's winning and I got them probably in the

907
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 4: right sure, But I believe Sam Donald's numbers across the

908
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 4: border just better than Jared Goff's, which is, you know,

909
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 4: crazy to say. But as far as this game are,

910
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 4: these games here tonight. You know, I'm thinking with my

911
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,359
Speaker 4: heart not my head, because I need the ten points

912
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 4: from the kicker. So I need Minnesota minus seven. I need,

913
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 4: you know, two fifty yard bombs and three passing toutch

914
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 4: out like I need a big number from Minnesota. So

915
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 4: I'm taking Minnesota minus seven, and then if you really

916
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 4: want to go, I guess the nightcap, even though it

917
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 4: starts thirty minutes later. This is a weird game because

918
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 4: how often would you say that my It really depends

919
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 4: on whether or not Aiden O'Connell.

920
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 2: Is healthy NoHo, So what's his status?

921
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 4: He's questionable and this is after he left last week's

922
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 4: game in an air cast.

923
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you gotta lay it with Atlanta. Now,

924
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 2: I'm sure this number was I think this was a

925
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 2: four or four and a half. I guess maybe five

926
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 2: and a half. Somebody's realizing that Aidan O'Connell's is gonna

927
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 2: play because otherwise with Desmond Ritter, this has to be

928
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 2: a touchdown, right Rittor is of course bad Sam Howell,

929
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 2: So I think you're probably in good shape. I will

930
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 2: say this, and it's Annet data. It's not really worth anything.

931
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 2: So Vegas this past weekend was insane. You had the

932
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 2: NBA NBA Cup that Rob was just sweating, so big time,

933
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 2: you know, because it's so good and watchable. You had

934
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 2: some kind of rodeo that was in Vegas, and then

935
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 2: you had my son's volleyball tournament, which was you.

936
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 4: Know, also big.

937
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean easily two thousand people, and so the

938
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 2: town was forming. And then a Sunday at the airport,

939
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 2: we're walking and we start seeing all this NFL stuff

940
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,879
Speaker 2: and you know a lot of people I guess going

941
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 2: down to LA for the Chargers game against the Bucks,

942
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 2: and there were a lot of Tampa Bay gear, like

943
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 2: the old school throwback. It's stuff that you would recognize,

944
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 2: and it sounded like so FI had a lot of

945
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 2: Tampa fans. And the other thing is I saw a

946
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 2: lot of people with Atlanta Falcons gear.

947
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:18,439
Speaker 3: Rop.

948
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 2: I don't know that they're taking over Vegas, but if

949
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 2: you're a fan and you're looking to get away for

950
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 2: December and you go to Vegas for three days and

951
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 2: you go to Monday night football game, that that's not

952
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 2: a terrible package deal, right, So I will go out

953
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 2: and predict that there's a lot of Atlanta Falcons. Maybe

954
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 2: not fifty to fifty, but I think it will be

955
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 2: a significant contingent for the Falcons, and I think Cousins

956
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 2: and companies shred here, and I'll go with the Falcons. Now,

957
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 2: you could consider it's not an advantage teaser. But if

958
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 2: you do a six point teaser, you take Minnesota down

959
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 2: to one and you say Atlanta just has to win

960
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 2: the damn game. I like that a lot, and teasers

961
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 2: have been ashing pretty well. Any props that you would

962
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 2: consider rob or not really.

963
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 4: I mean I haven't really dove into the props, but

964
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 4: if again, the contingent on Desmond Ritter starting, I believe

965
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 4: one shot by side his interception total at one and

966
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 4: a half, I would take the over on that, oh comfortably.

967
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 2: I'm looking at Kirk Cousins and I'm not really seeing

968
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 2: much here, but I'll tell you right now, it's primetime.

969
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins knows he's taken heat from everywhere, right, I

970
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 2: would not be shocked if this worry three hundred yard

971
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 2: game from Cousins, and I will be looking to bet

972
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 2: some Kirk Cousins overs only because once the guy hits

973
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 2: rock bottom, that's what I want to buy him. And

974
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 2: so I think it's time to buy Kirk Cousins. That

975
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 2: is a really long podcast. I just looked at the clock.

976
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 2: Holy hell. Listen, we're chopping stuff up. You know, this

977
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 2: is what happens a lot of good topics. We didn't

978
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 2: even really get to college football. I think we'll do

979
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 2: that this week. We got a good guest book for

980
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 2: this week as well. We'll be back to tomorrow.

981
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 4: Talk to you then.
