So Anthony Richardson, 12 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 4: Colts quarterback, he dislocated his right pinky finger in preseason 13 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 4: action against the Ravens on Thursday night. So this is 14 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 4: the Colts second possession. Richardson drops back, he gets sacked 15 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 4: and he gets driven into the ground unblocked linebacker David Ojabo. 16 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 4: He got to him and this is how it sounded 17 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 4: on the Colts radio No network. 18 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 3: Here you go. 19 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson goes out of the gunballman here Hash backs 20 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: to throw and he is deck from the left and 21 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: he has sacked and buried. 22 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 3: He took a big time hit, but more importantly hangs. 23 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,839 Speaker 1: On to the football and the Ravens with a sack 24 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: off the left edge and. 25 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 5: He's going off the field, Matt he got hit unobated. 26 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 6: There was no one blocking the The protection was totally 27 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 6: not there. 28 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 3: Uh, the protection was not there. He's right about that. 29 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 4: But what also wasn't there was the awareness, zero awareness 30 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 4: from Anthony Richardson. Didn't feel the heat, didn't even know 31 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 4: there was heat. You got to do a better job 32 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 4: recognizing the pressure. That's not just on your protection, that's 33 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 4: also on the quarterback. And it's the same old song 34 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 4: and dance with Anthony Richardson. He was the fourth overall 35 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 4: pick just two years ago and it's been a disaster. 36 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 4: And this is the thing. If we zoom out for 37 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 4: a second, you ever have a friend who's just in 38 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 4: a bad relationship. We've all had that right where it's 39 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 4: just your buddy is just arguing with his girl constantly, 40 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 4: and you either think or say, like, man, they're just 41 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 4: not good together, like they need to be away from 42 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 4: each other. That's how I feel about Anthony Richardson and 43 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 4: the Colts. Not that they're arguing all the time, but 44 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 4: they're just bad for each other. If you look at 45 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 4: the Colts, how are the Colts bad for Anthony Richardson. Well, 46 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,959 Speaker 4: they rushed him on the field as a Week one 47 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 4: starter his rookie season. He was nowhere near ready to 48 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 4: start in the NFL. This guy had fewer than four 49 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 4: hundred passing attempts in college at Florida. Under four hundred attempts. 50 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,839 Speaker 4: That's a guy who needs seasoning. That's a guy who 51 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 4: needs to be brought along slowly, Get a ton of reps, 52 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 4: digest the playbook folly. He needs the red shirt his 53 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 4: first year in the NFL. His rookie year should have 54 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 4: been a red shirt year. He would have been way 55 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 4: better off not seeing the field. But the Colts not 56 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 4: only got him on the field, they rushed him out 57 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 4: there in Week one. What blows my mind is if 58 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 4: you compare Anthony Richardson to a couple of quarterbacks. One, 59 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 4: let's start with who I think is the best quarterback 60 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 4: in the game right now, it's still Patrick Mahomes. If 61 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 4: you look at Mahomes in college, Mahomes through thirteen hundred 62 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 4: and forty nine passes in college, Anthony Richardson through three 63 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 4: ninety three. Mahomes attempted almost a thousand more passes in 64 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 4: college than Anthony Richardson does it's a lot of reps, 65 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 4: that's a lot of learning on the job, that's a 66 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 4: lot of seasoning. You just didn't have that with Anthony Richardson. 67 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 4: And then if you take the comparison further, what happened 68 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 4: with both of those quarterbacks their rookie year. 69 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 3: Mahomes sat almost the entire year. 70 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 4: He had one start at the very end of the 71 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 4: regular season against Coops Bronca. That was it one start. 72 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 4: So Mahomes started one game as a rookie. Anthony Richardson 73 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 4: started week one as a rookie with a portion of 74 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 4: the experience that Mahomes had in college made no sense. 75 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 4: The Colts had no patience whatsoever. Put them in a 76 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 4: terrible spot. The colts that you ever have, like you 77 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 4: ever have a dog and you put a treat like 78 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 4: at the end of his nose, and the dogs sitting 79 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 4: there for a few seconds just kind of like looking 80 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 4: at it, crosssied like, oh man, I can only do 81 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 4: this for a few seconds. You realize that, right, And 82 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 4: those evil owners are like wait, wait, wait, fight, oh 83 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 4: not yet, not wait, and the dog's. 84 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 3: Like, oh man, I can't take it anywhere. That's the Colts. 85 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 4: The Colts are the dog with a treat at the 86 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 4: end of its nose and they're like, hey. 87 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 7: I get that. 88 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 4: We just got to start Anthony Richardson that and they 89 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 4: threw him out there and it was a disaster. Now, 90 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 4: where Anthony Richardson is bad for the Colts, you can't 91 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 4: put this just on the Colts. Anthony Richrichardson has been 92 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 4: freaking brutal and even though he got thrown out there 93 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 4: before I think he was ready and the Colts did 94 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 4: a disservice to him, He's done a disservice to the 95 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 4: Colts as well. He's been atrocious. And not only are 96 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,799 Speaker 4: his numbers, I mean like a carbon copy of Tim 97 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 4: Tebow's quarterback numbers in the NFL. By the way, that 98 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 4: is someone you do not want to have carbon copy 99 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 4: numbers with. That would be Tim Tebow. You want numbers 100 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 4: that are way better than that. 101 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 3: I'm telling you. 102 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 4: It's the Spider Man meme where the two guys are 103 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 4: pointing at each other. 104 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 3: That's the stat. 105 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 4: Lines in the NFL of Anthony Richardson and Tim Tebow. 106 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 4: They are so similar it's staggering, and so like, Anthony 107 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 4: Richardson has been that bad as a quarterback and not 108 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 4: only has it been unproductive, he's been banged up all 109 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 4: the time. He's bess seventeen games in his first two seasons. 110 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 4: Think about that, they play seventeen games a season. That's 111 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 4: thirty four games in two years. He's missed seventeen of them. 112 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 4: He's missed half the games due to injury. So he's 113 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 4: banged up, he's unproductive, and he tapped out. He tapped 114 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 4: out last season because he was tired. What have you 115 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 4: heard that in the NFL A quarterback was tired and 116 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 4: was like, yeah, I need out of the game. Everyone's like, 117 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 4: what what do you mean you? 118 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 3: Uh? Okay? He tapped out of the game because he 119 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 3: was tired. 120 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 4: So he's done a disservice to the Colts as well. 121 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 4: He's been bad, he's been banged up, he's tapped out, 122 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 4: and the Colts threw him out there way before he 123 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 4: was ready. They are just horrible for each other, and 124 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 4: unfortunately he got banged up, dislocated right pinky finger. Obviously 125 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 4: he is throwing hand and he's gonna be out for 126 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 4: a little bit of time. He wanted to get back 127 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 4: out there. He tried to regrip the football on the sidelines, 128 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 4: wasn't working. They showed it on the on the replay, 129 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 4: it's like, you know, his hand is facing north and 130 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 4: his pinky is going a sharp east. 131 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 3: You know that's never a good sign, not good at all. 132 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 4: But it's another, you know, huge speed bump, another huge 133 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 4: hurdle in the on the path of Anthony Richardson being 134 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 4: a serviceable NFL quarterback. Like even before what happened on 135 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 4: Thursday with the injury, he there were reports out of 136 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 4: Colts camp. You know, James Boyd covers the Colts for 137 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 4: the Athletic and he's like, hey, this guy, Daniel Jones, 138 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 4: he's got a good shot to start Week one. He's 139 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 4: been the more consistent quarterback thus far. Again, you don't 140 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 4: want to be neck and neck with Daniel Jones, who's 141 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 4: been a complete disappointment in his NFL career, who has 142 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 4: much more experience than Anthony Richardson. But you want to 143 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 4: be further along than that guy. You want to flash 144 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 4: more in training camp. The Colts put it this way, 145 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 4: they want their number four overall pick to flash more 146 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 4: than Daniel Jones, who's been a total disappointment and who 147 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 4: they signed on the cheap in. 148 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 3: A one year deal. 149 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 4: They want Anthony Richardson to be the guy. They've done 150 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 4: everything they can for him to be the guy, and 151 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 4: it's it's just not working out. Man, it's not happening. 152 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 4: The stats I mentioned between Anthony Richardson and Tebow, I'm 153 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 4: not going to bombard you with stats galore, but it's crazy. 154 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 4: So Anthony Richardson his record eight and seven in the NFL. 155 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 4: Tebow was eight and six in the NFL. Anthony Richardson, 156 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson has completed three more passes. Tibo had thirteen 157 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 4: more attempts. That's about as close as you can get 158 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 4: completion percentage very similar. Tebow threw for thirty one more yards. 159 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 4: Think about over the course of like fifteen versus fourteen 160 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 4: starts plus thirty one for Tebou. Tibou had six more 161 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 4: touchdown passes four fewer interceptions. So advantage Tebou there, Tim Tebow. 162 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 4: Remember Teba as a quarterback? Yeah, that guy plus seven 163 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 4: point five in passer rating. Teebo's passer rating career wise 164 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 4: in the NFL seven point five points better than Richardson, 165 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 4: and Tebow ran the ball more. He rushed for over 166 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 4: three hundred and fifty more yards than Anthony Richardson and 167 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 4: about the same number of starts. So it's like Tim 168 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 4: Tebow has outplayed Anthony Richardson in the NFL. 169 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 3: That's astoundingly bad. 170 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 4: I wish I had better news for you Colts fans, 171 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 4: but that's where you are. Man, Like, one preseason game 172 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 4: in and this is the reality is Richardson is hurt 173 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 4: again and now we're looking at Danny Dimes as the 174 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 4: more probable Week one starter. How are you supposed to 175 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 4: be fired up for that? Now, one other thing I 176 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 4: will mention here, and this doesn't just apply to the Colts, 177 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 4: but this applies to a lot of NFL teams in 178 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 4: the preseason. Something else that the Colts did. They were 179 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 4: playing with fire in this game. So they put Anthony 180 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 4: Richardson out there, they gave him the start. They didn't 181 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 4: start the offensive line Anthony Richardson before this injury. 182 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 3: He at least had a shot to be the Week 183 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 3: one starter. 184 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 4: And the Colts are like, yeah, let's rest the veteran 185 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 4: offensive lineman. You didn't have the left tackle in there, 186 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 4: Bernard Ryman. You didn't have the right tackle in there, 187 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 4: Braden Smith, you didn't have the left guarden there. 188 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 3: Quintin Nelson. You're playing with fire. 189 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 4: If you're gonna put a quarterback behind center who might 190 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 4: be your Week one starter and you don't have starting 191 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 4: offensive linemen out there, that is absolutely playing with fire. 192 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 3: And hey man, it cost the Colts. 193 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 4: And I wouldn't just say the injury occurred because you 194 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 4: had the backup right tackle in there. 195 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 3: If anything, the running back was supposed to pick the 196 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 3: guy up. 197 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 4: You like, the tight end just ran a pattern, and 198 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 4: you had the Ravens linebacker just scraped on that side 199 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 4: of the ball and no one blocked him at all. 200 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 4: So it is a complete mix up by the protection. 201 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 4: But also Anthony Richardson, you gotta be more aware. You've 202 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 4: got to recognize what's going on. I understand there are 203 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 4: gonna be some breakdowns and protection and those sorts of 204 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 4: things will happen, But Anthony Richardson hasn't earned the benefit 205 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 4: of the doubt. You know, if Mahomes just doesn't see 206 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 4: a blitz coming, it's like, okay, that doesn't happen all 207 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 4: the time. But when you've seen a steady diet of 208 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson holding onto the ball too long, you know, 209 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 4: miscues galore, not recognizing the pressure or the blitz. He 210 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 4: hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt. Got to be 211 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 4: way more aware than he is. But it's just a 212 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 4: matter of time. The Colts are going to move on 213 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 4: from him. It's a complete waste. They spent a top 214 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:54,719 Speaker 4: ten pick, top five pick on Richardson and they were morons. Yeah. 215 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 4: I can't put this only on Anthony Richardson. To trot 216 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 4: him out there in week one is just like you 217 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 4: guys got to have a better long term approach than that. 218 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 4: I just think they set them up for failure. Now, 219 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 4: there are some quarterbacks that honestly are set up for failure. 220 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 4: They're thrown out there before they're ready. And some quarterbacks 221 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 4: are good enough to overcome that, and Anthony Richardson just isn't. 222 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 4: He hasn't had enough experience, didn't get enough reps in college, 223 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 4: so he couldn't be thrown out there before he was ready. 224 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 4: The Colts did it, and now they're in this spot. Man, 225 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 4: they don't have a quarterback for the now or the future. 226 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 4: That's where they're at. 227 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meler 228 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on 229 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 230 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 3: Hey, this is Jason McIntyre. 231 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 6: Join me every weekday morning on my podcast Straight Fire 232 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 6: with Jason McIntyre.

Now, this is the fourth sex toy that 242 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 4: has reached the court of a WNBA game. Now, there 243 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 4: are a couple of layers here. I didn't realize what 244 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 4: was going on. I'm like, wait a minute. So over 245 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 4: the last week and a half, there have been four 246 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 4: sex toys that have been thrown onto a WNBA court 247 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 4: during the game. Okay, what I didn't realize was all 248 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 4: of the sex toys that were thrown at WNBA games 249 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 4: that didn't reach the court. 250 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 3: Because I'm looking at this. 251 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 4: And I'm like, okay, I'm looking at all this information, 252 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 4: it's just all kinds of stuff. I'm not going to 253 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 4: bombard you with all of these things, but a couple 254 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 4: of them are kind of interesting, as best I can tell. 255 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 4: And I tried to research this as best I can. 256 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 4: It's it's tough. It's like you ever see a beautiful 257 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 4: mind where Russell Crow is kind of losing his mind 258 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 4: and he's like. 259 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 3: Oh, this connects to that and this means this, and. 260 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,479 Speaker 4: That's how I was trying to figure out the timeline 261 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 4: of the sex. 262 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 3: Toys being thrown on WNBA courts. 263 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 4: This is the best I can tell, So I believe 264 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 4: this started back on July twenty ninth, so a little 265 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 4: more than a week ago. It was Tuesday to twenty ninth. 266 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 4: It was the Valkyries and the Dream. There was a 267 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 4: man that was arrested, Delbert Carver, twenty three years old, 268 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 4: threw a sex toy on the court. Now he was 269 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 4: arrested and charged with get this listen, all these charges 270 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 4: disorderly conduct, public indecency, slash, indecent exposure, and criminal trespass. 271 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 4: Sounds like a lot of stuff, Like I'm no lawyer, 272 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 4: I don't know if you know. He's found guilty all 273 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 4: across the board what that means. But that's a lot 274 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 4: of stuff to be charged with. 275 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 3: I know that much. And so I'm piecing this together. Okay. 276 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 4: It happened a couple of nights later, Friday, August first, 277 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 4: Valkyri's Chicago Sky Game. 278 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: All right. 279 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 4: Then I'm like, wait a minute, something's weird with August fifth. 280 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 4: So this is Tuesday, August fifth, one week after the 281 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 4: first sex toy was thrown on the court. 282 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 3: Okay, and so I'm. 283 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 4: Reading this story about an eighteen year old who was arrested. 284 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 4: He tried to throw a dildo on the court.

I didn't know that. 354 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 4: I didn't know on Tuesday, just a couple of nights ago, 355 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 4: three different games sex toys are just being thrown around 356 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 4: from the crowd trying to make it. 357 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 3: Onto the court. They might just hit someone upside the 358 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 3: head and not make it to the court. 359 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller 360 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. 361 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 4: Well, I gotta bet that Coop should be making, but 362 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 4: he will not be making. 363 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 3: And I understand why. 364 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 4: So I told Coop off the air I'm like, bro, 365 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 4: we were talking Super Bowl odds. I'm not going to 366 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 4: talk about that right here. That was a conversation we 367 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 4: had off the air, but it leads into the same 368 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 4: team I was telling him about if you look at 369 00:19:54,400 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 4: the divisional odds in the NFL, it actually the money 370 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 4: dropped a little bit. So it was the Chiefs that 371 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 4: minus won twenty to win the AFC West, and it 372 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 4: didn't drop a lot, but it dropped to minus one 373 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 4: eighteen on BETMGM. So if you're betting the Chiefs, if 374 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 4: you risk one hundred and eighteen dollars, you would win 375 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,360 Speaker 4: one hundred dollars. This is a Chiefs team that's won 376 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 4: the division nine years in a row. They won it 377 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 4: the first two years without Mahomes, with just Andy Reid 378 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 4: there right, they were winning it with Alex Smith, and 379 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 4: then Mahomes takes over and he's won at seven straight years. 380 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 4: They're going for a decade straight winning the AFC West. 381 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 4: And there was listen some bad news on on Thursday. 382 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 4: So the Chargers left tackle Rashaan Slater. He was carted 383 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 4: off the practice field. Turns out he had season ending surgery. 384 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 4: He had a ruptured PTEL. Attendant done for the year. 385 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 4: He's gonna undergo surgery. He's placed on ir sit. The 386 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 4: dream is over at least for twenty twenty five. And 387 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 4: it's such a bummer for the Chargers for numerous reasons. 388 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 4: So he just signed a huge contract extension a week 389 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 4: and a half ago. So he signed a four year, 390 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 4: one hundred and thirteen million dollar extension, ninety two million 391 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 4: dollars guaranteed. That deal made him the highest paid offensive 392 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 4: lineman in terms of money per year in NFL history, 393 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 4: highest paid guy. And then a week and a half later, 394 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 4: boom knee injury, gone, done, done for the season. Just 395 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 4: practice was blocking a teammate and apparently is his leg 396 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 4: buckled a little bit before he made impact. It's just 397 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 4: one of those, you know, non impact injuries and he's gone. 398 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 4: So what they're gonna have to do. They're probably gonna 399 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,479 Speaker 4: have to shift Joe Alt from the right side to 400 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 4: the left side. He did play left tackle the whole 401 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,640 Speaker 4: time at Notre Dame. At least he has experience. They're 402 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 4: probably gonna have to shift around. They probably have to 403 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 4: move Trey Pipkins, who was a guard the last couple 404 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 4: of years ago, got to move him back out to 405 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 4: right tackles, shift things around. Losing Rashaun Slater is a big, 406 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 4: big loss for the Chargers. 407 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 3: Again. 408 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 4: They want to pound the rock. We're talking you know 409 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 4: Jim Harbaugh over here. He loves to run the ball. 410 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 4: And when you have you know, Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman, 411 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 4: they're like, oh, you know what game plan, Let's run it. 412 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 4: Let's run it. Let's run it some more. All right, 413 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 4: we gotta pass it, all right, we get to run 414 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 4: it some more. Like that. They love running the football. 415 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,439 Speaker 4: I love this quote. This is when they drafted Joe Alt. 416 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 4: This is what the twenty four draft, so just last year, 417 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 4: and instead of drafting Malik Neighbors, who was fantastic for 418 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 4: the Giants last season, they didn't draft a wide receiver 419 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 4: in the first round. They went for Joe Alt, the 420 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 4: tackle out of Notre Dame. And this is what Jim 421 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 4: Harbaugh said at the time. 422 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 5: I know the question's gonna come up and you're to say, like, 423 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 5: you know, what about what about a weapon? What about 424 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 5: a uh offensive lineman? We look at his weapons. That 425 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 5: group when we talk about attacking, and we talk about 426 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 5: attacking on offense, offensive line is the tip of the spear. 427 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 3: What a quote right there. Huh. 428 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 5: At the end, offensive line is the tip of the spear. 429 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 3: Offensive line is the tip of the spear. 430 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 2: Let's go. 431 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 4: I want to just throw on some shoulder pads right now. 432 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 4: I might get knocked around. 433 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 3: I don't care. I'm fired up. Jim Harbaugh, I love 434 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 3: that quote right there. 435 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 4: So yeah, they look at offensive offensive lineman and as weapons, 436 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 4: one of their best their best offensive weapon. If that's 437 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 4: the way they view it is down right like they 438 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 4: look at that and it begins with the offensive line. 439 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 4: Herbert does this thing. Lad McConkey is really good. They 440 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 4: have big hopes for Amar and Hampton, really good running 441 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 4: back out of North Carolina. But with Rashaun Slater going down, 442 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 4: that's a big, big deal. So let's go back to 443 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 4: the division odds. 444 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 7: You've got. 445 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 4: The Chargers are at plus three ten, the Broncos are 446 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 4: at plus three ten. The Raiders are seventeen to one 447 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 4: to win the division. 448 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 3: Look, they've made some upgrades. 449 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 4: They might be feisty enough to win a couple of 450 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 4: division games, they're they're not gonna really challenge to win 451 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 4: the division. So it's really like the Broncos and the Chargers, 452 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 4: they're both basically at three to one. Whatever you bet 453 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 4: times that by three, that's your payout. 454 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 3: The Chiefs are close to even money. 455 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 4: The Kansas City Chiefs are at minus one eighteen. 456 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 3: That just seems too good to be true. 457 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 4: How do you not bet the Chiefs to win the 458 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 4: AFC West for a tenth year in a row. How 459 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 4: have they fallen off? You've got ver Mahomes to throw to. 460 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 4: You got Rashi Rice, He's gonna be suspended a few games. 461 00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 4: You got him, Hollywood Brown, Xavier Worthy, Travis Kelce, top 462 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 4: five scoring defense from last season. 463 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 3: They're not winning the division? 464 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 4: What would it take for that to be the case? 465 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 4: I think it would take significant injury woes for the 466 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 4: Chiefs not to win the division. And I don't want 467 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 4: to make it sound like, you know, all these other 468 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 4: teams have no chance. 469 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 3: It's the NFL. 470 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 4: I don't want to make it sound like that, but man, 471 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 4: the Broncos taking that big of a step forward to 472 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 4: win the division. I know that, we like have PTSD 473 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 4: from the Chiefs getting blown out by the Eagles in 474 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 4: the Super Bowl. 475 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 3: And there are a lot of people are like, yeah, no, 476 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 3: no about the Chiefs. 477 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 4: They were a fifteen and two team last season, and 478 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 4: you can talk about, Hey, a favorable bounce here, a 479 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 4: lucky win there. Okay, you take away a couple of 480 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 4: wins like they're thirteen and four, there's still a thirteen 481 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 4: win team. If you take away a couple of favorable wins, 482 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 4: there's still a edibly good at what they do. I 483 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 4: love the Chiefs to win their division again. Have I 484 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 4: convinced you to put some money on the Chiefs in 485 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 4: the AFC West coop? 486 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 3: I'm guessing I probably haven't. Hell No, is that more 487 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 3: based on principle or logic? 488 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 7: Both both? 489 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 3: I think it's more based on principle. I get it. 490 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 4: You're Broncos guy. You want to run to the betting 491 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 4: window and bet the Chiefs. No problem with that, But 492 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 4: that's based on principle. That's not based on logic.

Let me go 517 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 8: before I get the picked out. AFC West is a 518 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 8: tough division, but look you're saying the Chiefs are gonna 519 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 8: win it ten times in a row. Like sooner or later, 520 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 8: someone's got a betle Man. The odds with the Chargers 521 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 8: and the Broncles is looking pretty good. You know, John 522 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 8: Harveall saying the ship under load, Hey, next man off 523 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 8: for the offensive line. So you got justin Herbert and 524 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,400 Speaker 8: they looked pretty good. And the Broncles, they looked amazing, 525 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 8: Like three of the AFC West made the playoffs and 526 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 8: coops teams the Broncos at Boecks, he looked amazing. But 527 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 8: this rookie year good Kennedy top five quarterback in my 528 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 8: opinion on the rookies, that he should be able to 529 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 8: strive and do good. So, like someone's telling me money, 530 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 8: what am I gonna bet? Look, I think Sean Payne 531 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 8: is a great coach with the Broncos, So I think 532 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 8: the Broncos are really going to give trouble for the Chiefs. 533 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 8: And I would have been surprised if the Broncos coops 534 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 8: team actually wins that division. 535 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 3: I'd be freaking Yeah, I'd be shocked. 536 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 7: As your all time best call, Poppy. 537 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 4: It's a word good job, terrible argument from you, Poppy, 538 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 4: like you you're giving me, Hey, it could happen. 539 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 3: I wouldn't be shocked.

Well, guess what it's gonna 546 00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 8: be too good to be true, and the Chiefs are 547 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 8: not going to I went ten years in the row. 548 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 8: You don't make the playoffs, but they're not gonna win 549 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 8: the division AFC WES so red flag for everyone. Do 550 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 8: not bet on the Chiefs. 551 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 4: Okay, So I got I got a proposal.

Let's just put one hundred 590 00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 4: dollars on it. That was the bet I had with 591 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 4: Koop and he won because his Broncos weaseled their way 592 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 4: into the top five scoring defense. I don't know how 593 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 4: they did it, but they had a great year, and 594 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 4: I paid up.
