00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: the NBA, the Association. I feel like you know, listen,

10
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: you guys know I was gambling nightly with a couple

11
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 1: of guys that I used to work for with at

12
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: the Big Lead, Vick and Ryan. We post our NBA

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: gambling bets and I lay the money and then I

14
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: tell them what I bet, and you know, we were competing.

15
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: We just stop like three weeks ago because so many

16
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: is so much COVID in the NBA, Like you never

17
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: know who's playing. I mean I would, I would bet

18
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: the Clippers and then you find out like ten minutes

19
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: before tip of oh yeah, Paul George is an Health

20
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: and Safety port. What come I'm not betting the Clippers

21
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: of Paul George Ing there. Um so yeah, so we

22
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: backed off the NBA, but tonight and the league, the

23
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: timing could not be better for the league, right. NBA's

24
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: really kind of I mean, it's just it's just existed.

25
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 1: That's all it's been doing. There's no juice there right now.

26
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: But Kyrie Irving is coming back tonight for the Nets.

27
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 1: At least that's what they're expecting. Um, we'll see what happens.

28
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving expected to play, uh, make his debut with

29
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: the Nets. They are on the road in Indiana. Pacers

30
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: have fallen on hard times by the way, the Nets

31
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: got passed in the East by the Bulls. Kyrie Irving

32
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: making his debut tonight. You guys know I had to

33
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: before we get to the NFL. You guys know, I

34
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: had to love hate affair with uh Kyrie Irving. I

35
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: was I mean, who could not be enamored by the

36
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: Uncle Drew stuff and his game, his dribbling, his attacking

37
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: the basket's finn. I mean, the guy's just incredible. I

38
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: got a Kyrie jersey jersey in Cleveland, the burnt orange one.

39
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: It looked awesome. I have a picture way gets to

40
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: scroll way back on my I g of me on

41
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: the beach with the Kyrie jersey. It's just awesome. Um.

42
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: And then he went off the rails and he's like,

43
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: get me out of here. I don't want to play

44
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: with Lebron. He goes to Boston. I don't want to

45
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: play with Jason Datum. I don't like Brad Stevens and

46
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: goes to Brooklyn and then he's just kind of tried

47
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: to prevent the bubble from happening, and now he opting

48
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: out of the vaccine so he's not playing. It's just

49
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: a mess. And you know, Kyrie, his brand is clearly damaged,

50
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: although he has a large following. Still, I'm sure the

51
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: ratings will be good for this one. So we'll see

52
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: how we play tonight. Um. I do not have any

53
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: action on that game. But again, we're recording this early

54
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: Wednesday morning, so come on alright. So the biggest story

55
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: in sports is unfortunately from the NFL, and it's not

56
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: a good one. I wish we would be here to

57
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: talk about like the real playoffs and who's gonna do

58
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: damage and had had a bet week's um eighteen uh

59
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: rams Niners by the way, I know I touched on

60
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: it with Rob on Monday. I'm not gonna be going

61
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: to UH RAM signers just this my daughter's basketball league

62
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: did mean another dad or trying to make happen. There's

63
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: a lot of hurdles. I thought we'd be able to

64
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: pull it off. We're not. So my wife will get

65
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: to celebrate by going to the game uh and enjoy ramsigners,

66
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 1: which should be a barn burner and so far as beautiful.

67
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: Of course I mentioned this to my kids. They're like, oh, man,

68
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 1: me and Mom, we're gonna go to the game. And

69
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: they're like, what about us, Come on, we're not gonna

70
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, guys, settled down. They're like, well, we'll go

71
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl, right it's here. And I just

72
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: look at them, like you just think I could snap

73
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: my fingers and we're going to the super Bowl. These

74
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: kids these days, aren't they crazy? Um? They're not as

75
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: crazy though. As a gentleman named hub Our Cush, you

76
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: probably never heard of him. He's an Associated Press NBA writer,

77
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: but he made big waves yesterday. He went on a

78
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: radio station in Chicago. Um, the hosts, I guess found

79
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: out that he's an m v P voter, and he

80
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: said he will absolutely not vote for Aaron Rodgers because

81
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: he's a jerk and a bad guy. This is a

82
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: real quote from a grown ass man who's probably fifty

83
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: years old, maybe fifty, who covers the NFL for the

84
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: Associated Press, like a pretty big institution in the media.

85
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: I don't think you can be the biggest jerk in

86
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: the league and punish your team and your organization and

87
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: your fan base the way he did and be the

88
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: most valuable player. We need to have a full stop

89
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: right there for this guy named hub Art Cush. I

90
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: know what you're saying, Jay, you gotta get him on.

91
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,119
Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys have heard this clip. The host

92
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: did not push back at all. I think they knew

93
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: they had a viral gold mine and they were just

94
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: gonna let this guy hang himself. There is a saying

95
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: where you get somebody enough rope. They hanged themselves. That's

96
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: what That's what the host did. They didn't come after,

97
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,679
Speaker 1: they didn't challenge anything. I thought it was a little soft,

98
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: but it gets better. For Mr r Cush, who if

99
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: you're in the Chicago area you've probably read his work.

100
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: Tell you why this is a big problem. It's not

101
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: just idiotic, stupid simpleton behavior and commentary, but this is

102
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: like really a real issue. So I'm gonna after that

103
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: about him. You know, Aaron Rodgers the biggest jerk in

104
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: the league. Has he been the most valuable on the field. Yeah,

105
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: you could make that argument, but I don't think he

106
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: is clearly much more valuable than Jonathan Taylor or Cooper

107
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: Cup or maybe even Tom Brady. Maybe even Tom Brady.

108
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: How could I let that go? If I'm a host,

109
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: Cooper Cupp or Jonathan Taylor are more valuable than Aaron Rodgers.

110
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it's almost like you can't even really laugh

111
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: at that. It's so asinine. It's like if one of you,

112
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: if you were hanging out with some dudes and they

113
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: rolled up with a couple of buddies and you meet

114
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: them and one of the guys says some assinine ship

115
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: like that Cooper Cup or Jonathan Taylor, Well they might

116
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: be as valuable as Aaron Rodgers. You're just like instantly

117
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: you just write this guy off, like, bro, this guy

118
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 1: has no idea. I can't I can't associate with this guy.

119
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: Like I could challenge but pushed back, but like, is

120
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: this guy so dumb and dense and clueless like Cooper

121
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: cup is having arguably the greatest receiver receiver has ever had,

122
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: greatest season of receivers ever had in NFL history, and

123
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: he's not even close to his valuable as Aaron Rodgers.

124
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor is having a tremendous season. No, he's not

125
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, but again, it continues to get better. This

126
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: is hub or cush. So from where I sit, the

127
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: rest of it is wise. He not gonna be my choice.

128
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: Do I think he's gonna win it? Probably? A lot

129
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: of voters don't approach it the way I do, but

130
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: others do who I've spoken to. But one of the

131
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: ways we keep getting one of the ways to keep

132
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: being voters is we're not allowed to say who we're

133
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: voting for until after the award has announced. I'm probably

134
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: pushing the envelope. And you know, he starts to try

135
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: to laugh and make a joke of it, and then

136
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: he continues, And this is where I would have drawn

137
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: the line. If I'm interviewing this guy, and I don't

138
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: think it says that he were strictly on the field,

139
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: although I do think he heard his team on the field,

140
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: by the way he acted off the field, They're gonna

141
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: get the number one seed anyway. But what if the

142
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: difference had come down to the Chief's game where he

143
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: lied about being vaccinated and they ended up getting beaten. Okay,

144
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna quibble over if you want to say

145
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: he lied. Fine. You know, my wife heard about this

146
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: and she was like, why did he lie? And I

147
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: was like, well, I didn't totally lie. He was. This

148
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: is who he is. He's kind of a dick. But

149
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: this dude is saying, what if the difference had come

150
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: down to the Chief's game, it didn't like, why are

151
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: you dealing in? What if? Let's deal an actual reality,

152
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: like what happened on the field. Well, I mean, and

153
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: this is the problem. Like this is a mainstream opinion

154
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: from a guy who covers the NFL. His job is

155
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: to know as much about the NFL as possible. He eats, sleeps,

156
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: and breathes the NFL for probably nine months a year,

157
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: and maybe takes a couple of months off here and there.

158
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in

161
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: Search F s R to listen live. I want to

162
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: zoom out for a minute and just I don't want

163
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: to get political here, but in reality, this whole idea

164
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: of fake news, do you guys know that was not

165
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: a thing A decade ago, nobody said the words fake news.

166
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: It was not a thing. It became a deal around.

167
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: And again I'm not gonna wait into the political waters.

168
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: But a certain guy was running for office and he

169
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: wanted to do his best to discredit the media with

170
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: this whole fake news. Regardless of what the news was,

171
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: it was fake. Don't believe that they're fake. Their phone

172
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: either lying and let's be real. It worked, and from

173
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: my perspective, it then drove the media to dig in

174
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: their heels and go away. Historically, the media had been

175
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: had skewed left. I'm not gonna everybody knows that most

176
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 1: of the media had skewed left. I would argue center left.

177
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: Maybe if you want to go a little more than

178
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: center left. Fine, around seventeen, when this guy starts discrediting

179
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: the media to enhance his chances and try to brush

180
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: all all his extracurricular activity under the rug. It worked,

181
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: and it drove the media to go to the extreme,

182
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: and starting about seen, the media went so far left

183
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: that it was trying to counterbalance the other stuff about

184
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: fake news. So now what you've got is an ugly

185
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: situation where you either are on the far left or

186
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: you're on the far right. You're with us or you're

187
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: against us. And that's fine in politics whatever, But when

188
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: it starts to creep into the media, it gets a

189
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: little ugly because then the media has to decide which

190
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: side of my own am I gonna write for this

191
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: audience or that audience. And a lot of people have

192
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: made the decision I'm going all in. I don't care.

193
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: I'm going full board this way or that way. I'm

194
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: doing it. Others like me, I'm sorry. Uh, there is

195
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: a middle ground in life. And I know you guys

196
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: are gonna say, oh, Jason, you become so Californian, You've

197
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: gotten so yoga and what are you eating avocado toast?

198
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: Because honestly, guys, balance and in the center is where

199
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: you want to be. It is the most important thing

200
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: balance in life, in anything you do. You guys know

201
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: that you know balance and how important it is in

202
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: anything I'm telling you. Balancing your diet, you guys know

203
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: that in the news that you consume. If all you

204
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: consume is far right, or are you consume is far left,

205
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 1: it ain't gonna be good. It's just not it isn't.

206
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: You gotta balance your activities. You guys know, come on,

207
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: you're exercising, You're starting to go to the gym on

208
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: the New Year's resolution. You can't just do weights. You

209
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: mean one of those weird outlooking people who's just superjacked

210
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: and like like walks all funny. You don't want that.

211
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: You gotta get some cardio. I hate cardio myself. I

212
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: don't like it. So what do I do. I try

213
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: to play basketball, play some tennis. That's good cardio. You

214
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: need that balance. And if you just do cardio, I

215
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: only want to run. I don't want to live well,

216
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna you're gonna look whipped thin. So you need

217
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: that balance everything, diet, what you read, what you watch.

218
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: I I know it's tough during football season, I you know,

219
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL and grinding on the gambling like it

220
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: is intense for me and my sanity. I have to

221
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: pull back sometimes and dive into a book, dive into

222
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: deep magazine articles like I just can't only do football

223
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: for four months, you will go crazy. You have to

224
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: have an outlet and you need a little bit of

225
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: that balance. And I feel like this reporter hub are Cushed,

226
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: that's his real name. It doesn't understand balance because if

227
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: he were to look at the stats like he can.

228
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: I fine, you want to say Aaron Rodgers a bad guy.

229
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: That's fine, should not impact your m v P vote.

230
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: Look at the numbers. So I've got the numbers in

231
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: front of me, right, um, you can will We'll start

232
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 1: with the counting stats because a lot of guys, hey,

233
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: they like their counting stats. Right. So, Aaron Rodgers has

234
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: the fewest interceptions in the league among starting quarterbacks. He's

235
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: been awesome. Best touchdown of interception radio in the league

236
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: is not close. Now, he doesn't have the most yards passing.

237
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 1: That would be Tom Brady for the counting stats, folks,

238
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: because guess what the bucks are. In a lot of games,

239
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is usually blowing out opponents. Now, I know

240
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: the point deferential differentials not great, but come fourth quarter

241
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: they're up two or three scores, they're running the football.

242
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, uh is what ninth in yards passing. He's

243
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: also got almost two or fewer attempts than Brady okay

244
00:12:53,920 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: Um quarterback rating number one, Aaron Rodgers number two, Joe Burrow,

245
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: by the way, qb R, which favors running that's why

246
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: uh Lamar Jackson's always high up, and Kyler Murray Aaron

247
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: Rodgers number one QBR. So let's go over to football outsiders.

248
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: Let's just see what they say. So they have a

249
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 1: stack called d y A R. We'll try to get

250
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: Aaron chats back on here. Football outsiders. I think I've

251
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: told you guys this instrumental to helping me in the

252
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: NFL gambling last few years. D Y A R. Tom

253
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: Brady one, Aaron Rodgers two, d v O A Aaron

254
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: Rodgers one, Tom Brady two v O A Rogers one,

255
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: Brady two. So football outsiders counting stats almost universally favoring

256
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Now the interesting one is passing grades from

257
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus. This surprised me. Number one Joe Burrow, Yeah, mom,

258
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a little surprised to But they it seems

259
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: like they favored big plays, and Joe Burrow has more

260
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: uh deep past touchdowns than anybody in the league. I

261
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: think it's not even close. Tom Brady's two, Kyler Murray third,

262
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: highest quarterback grade, Aaron Rodgers four, and then Kirk Cousins

263
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: okay five. Um. But bottom line is there's really no

264
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: argument against Aaron Rodgers except for I don't like that guy.

265
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: He's kind of a smug prick. That's fine if you

266
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: think that, but using it in your voting for the

267
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: m v P, that's just willful ignorance. And it's the

268
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: kind of thing that hurts the media when you do this.

269
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: It really does. Do you know the damn it it

270
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: like if he unless you say fifty voters and it's

271
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, it won't be. But if it is, it's

272
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: gonna come down a nonsense like this to prevent Rogers

273
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: from getting the m v P. And it's willful ignorance.

274
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: You know there's evidence that's gonna prove you wrong. You

275
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: just refuse to accept it because he's a jerk and

276
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: he kind of sort of maybe lied about the vaccine.

277
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: Like it's just it's embarrassing for the media. It really,

278
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: it's just an awful look. And in the NBA you've

279
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: had a lot of guys and wind Horse comes on here,

280
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: and I know wind Horse a little bit who just

281
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: refused to vote for NBA awards and all NBA. You

282
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: know why because all n b A results in guys

283
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: getting the supermax offers and guys not getting the Supermax offers.

284
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: So if you're not voted all NBA by the media,

285
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: guess what you could have cost yourself, like a hundred

286
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: million dollars. It's crazy. And and in the NFL, I

287
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: don't know why. Now, I know what you're gonna say, Well,

288
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: Jason got good, you ship on the process all you want.

289
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: What's your solution, what's the better way to handle MVP voting?

290
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: And um, I'm happy to report that they should just

291
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: hand it all to me. And I am very impartial. Um,

292
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,479
Speaker 1: I have no no dog in this eight none whatsoever.

293
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: I will just call it like I see it now.

294
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: I don't think. I think Cooper comes out a great year,

295
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: No doubt, He's not in the top three. I think

296
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: the m v P race without question number one Aaron Rodgers.

297
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: I think there's a decent question between two and three.

298
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: Brady has been very good. But I think Joe Burrow

299
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: has done enough to warrant serious discussion. I mean, Joe

300
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: Burrow is in a second year quarterback in this league,

301
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: and he is doing ridiculous things and I don't want

302
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: to hear. Oh. Well, he's got great weapons, he's got

303
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: a rookie receiver in Jamaar Chase, he's got a mediocre

304
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: at best offensive line, and he's averaging eight point nine

305
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: yards per tempt. That's by a mile the best in

306
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: the league. He's not dinking and dunking. Is a dude

307
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: running for his life and just making ship happen. I mean,

308
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: j Burrow has impressed me big time, and I think

309
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: he's got to be number three in m VP voting.

310
00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: I like, I just there's no way on earth Jonathan

311
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: Taylor's an m v P. Guys, it's just not as

312
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,239
Speaker 1: not just doesn't work like that. And and again we

313
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: can do it with the NBA and the NFL and

314
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: even the Heisman Trophy. It's not really the best player

315
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: in the NFL, right That's you can't quantify best, but

316
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: what is it. It's basically the best player on the

317
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: best team. That's who usually wins like the Heisman Trophy,

318
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: and that's who usually wins the NFL MVP Award. If

319
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: you're not the number one seed, probably the two. And

320
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: again I know you'll say, well, look Daddy and Tom

321
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: wints and watered, that's fine. It was like fifteen years ago.

322
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: Uh did the internet work like fifteen years ago? Um?

323
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: But it was. It's one of those things like yeah, okay,

324
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: La Danny Thomlinson wanted. We're getting smarter now as like

325
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: a collective and NFL fan base, whether it's media analysts,

326
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: what have you. We just have so much more knowledge

327
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: that we know we're not going off the counting stats.

328
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: Like Derrick Kenedy has been incredible. Sure he's a candidate,

329
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: but is he the m v P. I mean, well,

330
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: he couldn't keep it up because you know who could

331
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: um the miles on the tread on those tires. But

332
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 1: interesting is that Henry maybe back at practice this week.

333
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: It sounds like, um, which would be nice. I don't

334
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: know why he's forcing the issue to come back so quickly. Um,

335
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: and they will get the bye week with a win

336
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: this weekend, and that becomes interesting. I do think there

337
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 1: is I don't know, am I done with Hubbar Cost?

338
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: I guess so, yeah. I think that's about all I

339
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: got on Hubbar Cost. I'm sure some of you would

340
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: like bring him on the pot. I just why we'll

341
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: end up getting an argument, and it's not gonna because

342
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let somebody come on and just say

343
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: asinine stuff like this. It's terrible. Yeah, those hosts listen.

344
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: It was smart for them. Well done, guys. You let

345
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,959
Speaker 1: it slide, either two minute clips out there, like if

346
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: you get in a back and forth and start arguing

347
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: and like presenting points like sure you could score some

348
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 1: points with the internet mob or whatever, but you don't

349
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: need that, do you. I mean some people, that's for them. Uh,

350
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: it's not for me. I just and that's part of

351
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: the reason I get in like good sports debates with

352
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: dudes who are like kind of friends, um, and usually

353
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: we just talk about sports, but we can disagree, and

354
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: it's okay. I'm not infallible. Neither nobody's infallible. Fox Sports

359
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: is subjective anyway, But when you look at something like

360
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: an m VP award, there's a body of work, there's

361
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: an avalanche of stats, there is ample evidence that Aaron

362
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: Rodgers is the m v P. You saying, what if

363
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: he had cost them the number one? Well he didn't. Okay,

364
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: what else he got? Well he's a jerk. What what Anyways? Um,

365
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 1: I guess I want to wrap up with you know

366
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: I mentioned Derrick Henry coming back Football Outsiders pumping them

367
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: up again. They had an article called the Tennessee Titans

368
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,479
Speaker 1: are the worst number one seed ever. I guess potential

369
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 1: number one because I suppose they could lose to the

370
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: Texans as double digit favorites, and they did lose to

371
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: them once this season. Don't see it happening again. Um

372
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: it's harsh. Titan fans are angry, but I'm I can

373
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: guarantee you this ain't nobody afraid to go into Tennessee

374
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: and face the Tennessee Titans. That's a fact. Nobody is

375
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: quivering about the Titans. Yes, they beat the Bills at

376
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: home this season. Correct it was. It was a nice

377
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: win for them. Josh Allen slipped at like the three

378
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: yard line or the Titans lose that game. They confounded

379
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes in the game. I had bet on I

380
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: was on the Chiefs in that game. I will not

381
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: soon forget it. I think it was at the half

382
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: and there were no points in the second half. That

383
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: was That second half was when the Chiefs defense started

384
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: to turn it around. Mahomes had maybe as worse half

385
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: as a pro. I mean, just sloppy, sloppy turnovers. But

386
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: I I just look at this Tennessee Titans seemed nobody

387
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: is scared to play them. I remember last year I

388
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: bet against them. Lamar Jackson went into Tennessee. I think

389
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: he threw an early interception. They were down ten nothing,

390
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: and I remember Rob had been needling Lamar always never

391
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 1: how to come back down more than down double digits,

392
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: and Lamar pulled off the comeback. He had like a

393
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: scintillating forty eight year touchdown run or something that was

394
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: just like, jump out of your seat, Holy cow, there

395
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: goes Lamar. Now, I will say the Titans defensive front

396
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: is nasty, and I did notice that in that Kansas

397
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: City game, and I'm like, these guys are kind of

398
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: overpowering the Chiefs, and I noticed it again against the Rams.

399
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: And it's weird because if you look at the Titans wins,

400
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: you're like, wait a minute, why are they such a

401
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: disrespected Number one seed, Like, look at who they beat.

402
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: They took down the Bills, they took down the Rams

403
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: on the road, they beat the Chiefs. By the way,

404
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have lost to every division leader, Titans, Bengals,

405
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: and Bills. And meanwhile, Tennessee. This is the same Titans

406
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: team that lost to my Jets. They got blown out

407
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: at home by Kyler Murray and the Opener, and they

408
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: lost to the Texans. They got smoked by the Patriots,

409
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: although they really didn't have a lot of guys in

410
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: that game. Um, they lost to the Steelers. I mean really,

411
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: that was another game where they didn't have they were

412
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 1: down a bunch of dudes. Um. So I don't know

413
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: what to make of this team. I mean it's crazy.

414
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: So if you look at the win over the Niners, um,

415
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: they win over the Rams. Uh, they swept the Colts, Chiefs, Bills.

416
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: She's six wins against playoff teams assuming the Colts get in.

417
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 1: I did also see a stat that five losses is

418
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: the most for a number one seed in something like

419
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: forties or something like that. A f C just no

420
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: dominant team that that Chiefs start really killed him. The

421
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 1: Bengals have been you know, Johnny come lately the last

422
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: two weeks. Um it a f C S wild It's

423
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: I want to say, Bills, I don't. I don't know.

424
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: I actually think Josh Allen having to go on the

425
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: road helps because he hasn't looked good to me in

426
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: that in that crappy weather, the New England game. He

427
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: was terrible in Buffalo, and he was terrible against the Falcons.

428
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: I know he's he's a guy who went to where

429
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: do you go go? Wyoming? Somewhere somewhere in like the damnit. Now,

430
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: I gotta lick look it up because this stuff just

431
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: eats at me. I should know it because I, you know,

432
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: to do the mock drafts, and I remember it's probably

433
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: not Wyoming, Josh, I know, it's just really fascinating podcast fodder.

434
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: USh Allen went to Wow, he went to Wyoming. Yes,

435
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: it feels good to know irrelevant ship like that. Um,

436
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: I don't know, guys, I'm leaning towards Bill's rams, but

437
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 1: we'll see still some stuff TBD, as they say in

438
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: the industry. All Right, guys, that's it for today. We'll

439
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: talk to you tomorrow.
