Here's the deal. 4 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: We're going to react. We just watched the Chicago Bears 5 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: are nine and three. They have a better record than 6 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. Ben Johnson has just solidified as candidacy 7 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: for Coach of the Year right there with Mike Vrabel. 8 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that. What a game plan today, ran 9 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: it down to Fangio's throat, just physically dominated the Eagles. 10 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: Philly's just in a free fall. Lost two games now 11 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,480 Speaker 1: in the last five days. Obviously the epic meltdown last 12 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: week and just kind of got work today so that 13 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: they got problems.

I 44 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: didn't expect that, you know. I took the Bears reluctantly 45 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: as a touchdown underdog, and I said, coming into this game, 46 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: I was expecting weird. Now I didn't know what weird was, 47 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: but there weren't many outcomes that I couldn't envision. I 48 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: gave a somewhat tongue in cheek, but I was like, 49 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: I envision. I could see the Bears being up ten 50 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: to three in the first half and everyone at the 51 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 1: leak link booing, and that actually happened, right. And one 52 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: thing with the Eagles, consistently through this season, their offense 53 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: just sputters. And in the first half, you know, the 54 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,839 Speaker 1: Bears ran for almost one hundred and fifty yards. It's 55 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: ten to three, and it honestly felt like twenty five 56 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: to nothing. And I think two coaches this year. You know, 57 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: sometimes in a hiring cycle, you know, you just never know. 58 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: And everyone felt pretty confidence, like Ben Johnson and Mike Vrabel. Now, 59 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel had a resume. He turned the Tennessee Titans, who, 60 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: let's face it, are kind of a joke franchise. I mean, 61 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot more difficult than it should 62 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: be for them to get a credible coach. That they 63 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: are not a well run operation. They stink. Yet he 64 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: turned them into the number one seed with Ryan Tannehill. 65 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: Look at him now he has the Patriots in position 66 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: to compete for the number one seed. But with Ben Johnson, 67 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: we have seen so many guys and for every McVeigh, 68 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: for every Kyle, for every Matt Lafleur, you just never 69 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: know that there are a lot of Pat Schirmers and 70 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: Ben mack cads and guys that just like this is 71 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: not gonna work. And Ben Johnson immediately had taken a 72 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: franchise that hadn't just fallen on hard times, had become 73 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: kind of a joke and has them nine and three. 74 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: They just beat the Eagles on Black Friday. They ran 75 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: for two hundred and eighty yards. The craziest stat today 76 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: is that they had I clicked off the box score. 77 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: Here was the first downs. They had twenty eight first 78 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: downs to day. In contrast, the Philadelphia Eagles had fourteen. 79 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: They doubled the amount of first downs. They were ten 80 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: of seventeen on third down. They were running plays today. 81 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: On the touchdown pass that Caleb threw to Cole Comet 82 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: in the end zone, which was just an awesome pass. 83 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: I mean, that's why it's like, yeah, he's got number 84 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: one overall physical freak, elite traits that that's a trait 85 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: that you know sometimes you wish. The crazy part about 86 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: those two quarterbacks today is like, I don't give a 87 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: shit what his stats are. He has not played well 88 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: this year. The offensive coordinator clearly is not doing a 89 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: good job, the offensive line has not played well, and 90 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: Jalen has just been extremely erratic. But Jalen is actually 91 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: pretty calm in the pocket, you know, for a guy 92 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: who's when you watch him, feels all over the map 93 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: as a player, he's not a frenetic player. He's actually 94 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: I feel like he's very very He's just very calm. Meanwhile, 95 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: Caleb can be very frenetic, and I think it leads 96 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: to some of his poor passes on what should be 97 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: for NFL standards, and a guy with his talent lay 98 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: up throws. He could be pretty inaccurate, but he can 99 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: also make plays like that. But on that play, it 100 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: could have been a first down. Multiple spots. He could 101 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,679 Speaker 1: have dumped it to DeAndre Swift, who would have walked 102 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: for a first down. He could have screamed at DeAndre 103 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: turned round star blocking, and Caleb could have ran for 104 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: a first down. Or he had comet. Now only less 105 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: than half the league could physically make that pass running 106 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: full sprint to his left. But there were three different 107 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: options that were gonna work. And that's what happened all 108 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: day long, and we talked about this on this Monday 109 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: night game. Is when Dave Canalis gave his I don't 110 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: want to call him a star, but he was having 111 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 1: a high level season and he has had star moments 112 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: in games this year, Recal Dowdle, ric o'dowdell and he 113 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: was averaging in that game, like six yards of carry 114 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 1: and he had six carries. It's like that can't happen. 115 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: And I've had some people DM me, do you think 116 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: some of these young coaches are inclined to throw it 117 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: because they grew up playing Madden? And this guy used 118 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: an example with Kevin O'Connell and I say no, a 119 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: lot of Kevin O'Connell played quarterback in the NFL. Like 120 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: he was drafted into the NFL it's just in your 121 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: wiring who you are as a coach. And I think 122 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: a lot of times it's at some point in time 123 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: in your playing career or in your young coaching career, 124 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: you have a mentor that you kind of look up to, 125 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: and that's what you gravitate that you want to play like. 126 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: And if you look at Ben Johnson, I've been calling 127 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: him the Midwest Kyle Shanahan today is a great example. Two. 128 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: They ran it forty seven times now, a couple of 129 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: those of probably Caleb Scrambles, but his two running backs, Manunjai, 130 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: who's I didn't know much about. This guy, had twenty 131 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: two carries for one hundred and thirty yards. DeAndre Swift 132 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: had eighteen carries for one hundred and twenty five yards. 133 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: His two backs had forty carries for basically two hundred 134 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: and fifty yards and two touchdowns. Most of these coaches 135 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: will not do that because they won't keep calling the run. 136 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: And you're like, John, well, it was working. It works 137 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: all the time in these other games, and the coach 138 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: were like, well, we're gonna call pass now, and it's 139 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: just over and over and over. Ben Johnson dials up 140 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: another run play and he's one of the best run 141 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: schemers in the league. And I don't know if it's 142 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: the influence of being around Dan Campbell, if it was 143 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: in him before he ever got his opportunity to be 144 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator. But he's elite at his job, like 145 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: just as an offensive coordinator, let alone what he's doing 146 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: as a head coach and just instilling some I don't 147 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: know if it's confidence, belief, energy into this franchise, into 148 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: the city, but as an offensive coordinator, he was so 149 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: good in Detroit. You just never know. When a guy 150 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: goes from being the offensive coordinator to now the head 151 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: coach slash offensive coordinator, you're just dealing with so much more. 152 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: He hasn't skipped a fucking beat. And if you would 153 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: have told me this morning when I meeting my mash 154 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: potatoes stuffing multiple servings of turkey, it was just I 155 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: was stuffing my face. I mean, I did a pretty 156 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: good job on Thanksgiving. I melted today that Caleb Williams 157 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: would go seventeen to thirty six for four point three 158 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: yards a target and throw one touchdown and have a 159 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: bad pick that would help the Eagles get into the 160 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: red zone. I would have been like Eagles are gonna 161 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: win by ten. Meanwhile the Bears cruised to a victory. 162 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: And listen, Caleb had his moments where he was solid 163 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: and he does a good job getting him on the move, 164 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: like Ben Johnson is doing a good job with Caleb, 165 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 1: and Caleb has proven it's even an accurate passer and 166 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: it just doesn't matter. And obviously you're going into Philadelphia, 167 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: they're coming off this devastating loss a little bit like 168 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: it's not like the Cowboys are right behind him, but 169 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: they have enough momentum where it's like, we need to 170 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,719 Speaker 1: stop the bleeding here a little bit. You know, we 171 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: got the Packers just one. Obviously the Rams are rolling 172 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: like we're still in position here to get the number 173 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: one seed. Like we got to take care of business. 174 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: And it's like, we're gonna come into Philadelphia on a 175 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: day that looked freezing cold, the wind is pumping, and 176 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna run it down your throat. We are gonna 177 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: physically a team that I would say most people just 178 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: on their roster, you go. They have a very physical team. 179 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: Aj Brown, very physical player. They have a bunch of 180 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: guys on defense that you would consider very physical players. 181 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: Vic Fangio is an old school, tough guy defensive coordinator, 182 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: and Ben Johnson worked him up and down the field. 183 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: And I listen, every once in a while, you get 184 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: to a position where it's like with the MVP. I 185 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: remember when I was a kid, Barry Sanders and Brett 186 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: Favre split the MVP. I think Peyton Manning might have 187 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: done it one year with was it Steve McNair they 188 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: split the MVP. I have no problem because what these 189 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: two coaches are doing is just remarkable. I mean, the 190 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 1: Patriots have had become an embarrassment before Vrabel showed up, 191 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: and the Bears had been really, really bad for a 192 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: really long time, and they were in a position last 193 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: year right around this time they were I don't know 194 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: the butt of everyone's joke. And immediately a year later 195 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: he has them nine to three and they're in a 196 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: position that I mean, today was a great moment where listen. 197 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: Their defense has had moments where it hasn't looked good, 198 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: but they have created a lot of turnovers and the 199 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: Eagles are down ten three. Aj Brown, it was kind 200 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: of a crazy drive. You get a late hit which 201 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 1: was a clear late hit on Jalen, so they get 202 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 1: fifteen yards, they get to midfield. A couple of plays later, 203 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: they hit a J. Brown on just a fantastic play. 204 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: They're like, Okay, tight game, this thing's we got a 205 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: game here. They missed the extra point, wasn't even close. 206 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: A couple of plays later, Caleb throws the interception. You're thinking, God, 207 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: the Eagles are gonna drive, take the lead here and 208 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: maybe they'll never look back. And what happens. They fumble 209 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: a toush push and then the Bears drive the field 210 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: score and it's the ballgame. And there's something I don't 211 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: want to say magical, but when you've been this bad 212 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 1: and you start winning games like this, you kind of 213 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 1: start feeling that. If you would ask me a couple 214 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: of weeks ago, when I looked at the schedule Eagles, Packers, Brown, Packers, 215 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: what do you think the Bears would do during that stretch, 216 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: I'd be like, one in three. Now I'm in the 217 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: position to go. I think they could split with the Packers, 218 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: and I definitely like him against the Browns. So could 219 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears win this division? Hell yeah, they could do. 220 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: I think the Packers are better. Yeah, in theory, because 221 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: of the history, because of the resume because they have 222 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 1: guys who have been there and done that. But I'm 223 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: watching this Bears team, how well coached they are. I'm 224 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 1: blown away, Like you know where I stood at the 225 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: beginning of the year on Caleb Williams and still he's 226 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,599 Speaker 1: a roller coaster ride. But Ben Johnson's done an incredible 227 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: job with him. His impact when you just watch them 228 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: on a series in series out basis the ease in 229 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: which they get first downs on like third and four, 230 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: third and five. Herbstreet said something I was like, wait, 231 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: did I hear that right? He said, the average third 232 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: down for the Eagles this year had been thirty eight. 233 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: Rich third down has been third and eight. No wonder 234 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: they lead the league in third three and outs, Like 235 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,719 Speaker 1: they're always in third and long and they don't have 236 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: a good offense. Meanwhile, I'm watching the Bears like be 237 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: the most efficient offense in the league. It's like every 238 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 1: time they need something, boom, and they have a quarterback 239 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: who's like under sixty percent as a passer. So I 240 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: just have the utmost respect for what Ben Johnson has done. 241 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: If I'm a Bears fan, we had fallen on hard times, 242 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: our ownership had taken a lot of shit, but they 243 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: opened up the check book. They paid this guy a 244 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: lot of money. And listen, anytime you pay a coordinator 245 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: a lot of money to be your head coach. I 246 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: will continue to say this year and year out, you 247 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: never know. It's very risky. And this thing the ROI 248 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: on this He's been worth every penny and more. It 249 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: looks like one of the greatest hires in like the 250 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: history of the franchise. If they were to win this division, 251 00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: they are clearly in position to do so, that would 252 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: be it would honestly be more impressive than what Vrabel 253 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: has done in New England, just because he only has 254 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: to deal with one team. I mean, they have to 255 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: deal with the Lions, and even the Vikings have a 256 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: ton of good players. You get the Jets of the Dolphins. 257 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: It's today was really really impressive. That was There was 258 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: a moment too that Greg Olsen he tweeted during the 259 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: game because on the last couple drives the Eagles are 260 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: throwing into the wind and Greg Olsen, the former tight 261 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: end who calls games for Fox, tweeted Phillys throwing into 262 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: the wind because Chicago won the toss and took the ball, 263 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: it's not random. Ben Johnson planned for the fourth quarter 264 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: hours ago. And whenever you hear about assistant coaches who 265 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: go on and they talk about their former boss or 266 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: guys that work for Nick Saban or just high level coaches, 267 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: you know, former guys that work for Belichick. They always 268 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: talk about the details and how you have meetings days 269 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: leading up to the game, about wind direction, about if 270 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: you're in college, the home, the student sections, where you 271 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: want to go into it or away from it, and 272 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: details really matter. And when I see Ben Johnson, I 273 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: see a detailed tough guy. And toughness isn't about like 274 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: you don't have to look like Mike Vrabel or Dan 275 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: Campbell to be a tough guy. It's a mentality in 276 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: which you play. The reason you know the Dan Lanning 277 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: video that went viral that I would imagine most people 278 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: watching or are listening to this have seen you don't 279 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: fake toughness. And in football, like toughness is created in 280 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: practice by the mentality and the plays in which you run. 281 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: In practice, it's hard to be to develop a tough 282 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: team when you're running four and five wide receiver sets 283 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: because the physicality in the trenches is not required. But 284 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: when I worked for coach Hill at Fresno State, who 285 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: had come from Belichick in Cleveland and had worked side 286 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: by side with Kirk Farendz as his assistant offensive line coach, 287 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: it was an old school mentality. Tight end or multiple 288 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: tight ends, a full back running nine on seven drills, 289 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: which is a running drill where everyone's chin strap has buckled. 290 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: Everyone knows you're running and you're just running between the tackles. 291 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: The d line knows that, the linebackers know what the 292 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: fullback and the running back knows it, and it sets 293 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: a tone for the team. And Dan Lanning, essentially, i'll 294 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: translate it called USC and Lincoln Riley's program a bunch 295 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: of pussies because in there in his mind, the way 296 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: they play and what they show on tape is soft. 297 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: He never would have said that about the Pete Carroll 298 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: teams because Pete Carroll up until this year, his mentality 299 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: was always defense and run game because that creates toughness. 300 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: Like obviously the Bearers have had some injuries up front, 301 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: but what do you think they practice against every single day? 302 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: Why do you think they weren't that scared of the 303 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: tush push? What do you think Ben Johnson's calling in 304 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: practice run place, so it creates a physicality and a 305 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: mentality in a mindset that when you're playing on the 306 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: road in Philly, in a cold game and in a wind, 307 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: pumping left to right like whatever. We have tough practice 308 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 1: with this guy, and I just think you can't fake that. 309 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: And Dan Lanning didn't have to fake what he said 310 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: to his team because he knew they were tougher. Why 311 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: he's a defensive guy. He comes from Kirby Smart, Lincoln 312 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: Riley's a Mike Leach guy, rip, and I respect the 313 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: shit out of Mike Leach, but Mike Leach wasn't a 314 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: tough guy. You want to score a lot of points, 315 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: you never want to run the ball. And I just 316 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: think when you watch the Bears that there's a toughness 317 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: to their team because of the way the coach calls plays. 318 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: Why call him the Midwest Kyle Shanahan. Like Kyle Shanahan 319 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: is not winning a fight against most people in a bar, 320 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: but his teams historically have been really, really tough because 321 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: of the way they practice. He's not calling five wide 322 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: receiver sets in practice, they don't have those plays. He's 323 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: putting a tight end in a full back and getting 324 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: downhill and running the ball, and that toughens up the defense. 325 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: No different than preparing for a UFC or a boxing 326 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: match when you spar and sometimes sparring against an individual 327 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 1: is probably a lot tougher than another individual. No different 328 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: than practicing against certain teams is harder to practice against 329 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: than others. I think it was the Lions this training 330 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: camp that practice against the Dolphins, and dude on the 331 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: Lions was like, Yeah, I'm just not quite sure what 332 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 1: they're doing over there, because what do you think the Lions. 333 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: If you've played for the Lions last couple years, what 334 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: do you used to in practice? You're going up against 335 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: Ben Campbell, You're going dan Campbell's mindset, physicality upfront, running 336 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: the ball. And the Bears just out tough the Eagles. 337 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: And what's the Eagles issue this year? They can't run 338 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: the ball now. Part of that is offensive line injuries, 339 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: and I think in theory it's not like they want 340 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: to do anything different than last year. But you lose Beckton, 341 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: that's a big blow. They've had other injuries up front. 342 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: Obviously Lane Johnson is out, and you just have a 343 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: drop off in physicality and there were a couple of 344 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 1: plays today. It's like they tried to run on one. 345 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if it was like an outside zone 346 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: to the left. They give it to Saquon and there 347 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: were two dudes like literally standing right in front of 348 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 1: him when he got the ball, so he didn't even 349 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 1: have a shot. So it's hard to even judge, like 350 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 1: a Saquon lost his step every time they give him 351 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: the ball, there's someone in the backfield. And here's the thing, 352 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: a great offensive coordinator. Even if he had a worse 353 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 1: quarterback than Caleb, I think they would have a winning record. 354 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: He's doing that good of a job now they do have. 355 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 1: You know, Rome is a top ten pick. How good 356 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: he is. I mean we could debate. Lovelin is a 357 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: very talented player. Comet got a second contract. He's a 358 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: good tight end. DJ Moore is a guy that would 359 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: start on every team in the NFL. I mean, they 360 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: got they are good skill guys. They have obviously a 361 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: couple good running backs, Like they got good players. But 362 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: you know, you watch the Eagles and Monogai is good obviously. 363 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: Zakias is actually kind of an interesting player. I mean, 364 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: they got, they got, they got guys so do the Eagles. 365 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: And I think if you flip the offensive coordinator and 366 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: I'm not blaming on the offensive coordinator, I like something's 367 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 1: off with Jalen. And I've been saying this for a while. 368 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: If you work with someone in a close capacity, I 369 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 1: don't care what industry you're in, if you don't like them, 370 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: and that like it's like, hey, we're having success, we'll 371 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: just deal with it eventually. That I don't really like 372 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: this guy can go from I can't stand looking at 373 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: this guy. I don't respect this guy. It's hard to function. 374 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 1: And I do think the Eagles got to a point 375 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: with this situation with Adra. It just got weird. You know, 376 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 1: Johnny had two touchdowns today. I don't know. It's like 377 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: how many times can weird things be said during the week. 378 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, everything's fine on game day, Like that 379 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: just has to carry over. That just has to impact 380 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: somewhat of the practice. Even though I defend aj Brown 381 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: because I'm watching the today like that's an elite talent. 382 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: So if I'm playing with the guy who I think 383 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 1: should be playing better, and I don't think he's playing 384 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 1: well enough, and I'm sure I'm telling the coaches They 385 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: tell me just be quiet because he's the guy making 386 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: fifty and I'm only making twenty five. Just keep your 387 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 1: mouth shut, be a team guy. Eventually I crack like 388 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: I actually support aj in this situation because I'm watching Jalen. 389 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,959 Speaker 1: It's like his offensive coordinator is clearly a downgrade from 390 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: last year, but his quarterback's also not playing that well. 391 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: It's hard to call offensive plays when you have a 392 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: poor offensive line, so it's like a combination of it 393 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: all and it clearly is not working. And the defense tried. 394 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: It's ten three a half time. They had like two 395 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: first downs in the first half. You get to the 396 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,640 Speaker 1: point like it's why there are bad teams in college 397 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: in the NFL all the time they have, like through 398 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: the first let's say sixty percent of the season, have 399 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 1: a high end defense. Eventually they just tap out if 400 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 1: they're playing with a bad offense because it goes, well, 401 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: what's the point is? This is not gonna happen even 402 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,719 Speaker 1: if your offense is playing bad, but you're winning, like 403 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 1: the Broncos right throughout the last couple of years. It's like, listen, 404 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: it's worth it for us to we're going to the playoffs. 405 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: But you get to a point where we start looking 406 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: around like is this gonna work? And then eventually you 407 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,360 Speaker 1: just let your guard down for a minute, you lose focus. 408 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: All of a sudden you're down multiple scores because the 409 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: margin forera for your offense is just so small. And 410 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: I don't know exactly who to blame, Like Siriani clearly 411 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: is not as dynamic as some of these other coaches 412 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 1: because he can't call offensive plays. But do I just 413 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: think he knows nothing? No? Do I think that he's 414 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: had a front row seat when Shane Sichin was there 415 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 1: and Kellen Moore was there, same with Kevin Patula. Wouldn't 416 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: they just call plays that work last year to work 417 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: again this year? You would think. But obviously, as personnel changes, 418 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 1: you have to adapt. And as Jalen not adapting, are 419 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 1: they not capable of adapting as coaches? Whatever it is, 420 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 1: it's not working, And I don't want to sound the 421 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 1: alarm yet, but there are It's like a higher level 422 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 1: version of a couple of years ago when they started 423 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: whatever was ten and one or eleven in one and 424 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: they lost every game, and then they played the Bucks 425 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 1: in the first round and got their ass kicked, and 426 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: then everyone got fired, like all their offensive staff and 427 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: then that was then they brought in Kellen Moore and 428 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl, and you go, they've lost two 429 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: straight games. They've lost you know, the Cowboy game where 430 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: they're up to twenty one nothing. They got their ass kicked today. 431 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: They could have a couple of weeks ago lost to 432 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: the Lions. They beat the Packers ten to seven and 433 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: one of the ugliest games you'll ever see. I mean, 434 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: they have not been playing well if we just look 435 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: at the offense. Ten points against the Packers, sixteen points 436 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: against the Lions, twenty one points against the Cowboys, but 437 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: they didn't score in the second half, and they had 438 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: fifteen points today, so it's safe to say something's way off. 439 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm no math major, but they're averaging what 440 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 1: thirteen fourteen points over the last month. They're trending in 441 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: the wrong direction. And the defense, like when you're in 442 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 1: this in twenty twenty five, if you're scoring ten to 443 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 1: fifteen points a game, it's going to be very difficult. 444 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 1: Like no one has the eighty five Bears anymore. You 445 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: gotta score some points. And if I'm Howie and Jeffery, 446 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: it's like, well, paying aj or paying Devonte Smith or 447 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 1: paying god Her, paying Saquad a ton of money, Like, 448 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: we got to figure something out, and it doesn't feel 449 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: like they're able to right now. Now. The rest of 450 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: their season they got. Next week, they're playing the Chargers 451 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: on what looks like to be Monday night football, so 452 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 1: in LA it's just a long trip. Then they get 453 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: the Raiders at home, which to me has got weird 454 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: game written all over it. Then they play the Commanders, 455 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 1: who we think sucks, but you never know. Divisional games 456 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 1: at Buffalo after Christmas, which is gonna be an ugly 457 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,479 Speaker 1: weather game, and then against the Commanders. So I do 458 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: think it'd be pretty difficult. Even if Dallas were to 459 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: run the table, they would be eleven five and one. 460 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: So the Eagles at eight and four could only win 461 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: three more games. I mean, they got three wins on 462 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: the schedule in theory, but something just feels off. I 463 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: don't really know what to say beside something's off, and 464 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: you can band aid it when you're winning. They did, 465 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: and now you get into a position the last couple 466 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: of weeks you're like, you can't hide it anymore. Meanwhile, 467 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: the Bears have kind of played a similar game most 468 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: of the year. Honestly, today was a much more dominant 469 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 1: start to finish game than they usually play. Usually they 470 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 1: have moments a little like the Eagles, where they look 471 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: a little weird and then come storming back in the 472 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: second half. Yet today it's like they put pedal to 473 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: the medal. They had their foot on their throat. They're 474 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: running five six seven yards to carry, dominating every third 475 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: and three third and four first down. Keep the chains moving. 476 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: Jalen over there in a jacket, just looking forward, not 477 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 1: talking to a soul.

I also think that we 503 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:11,360 Speaker 1: got a pretty clear outlook when it comes to the 504 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: NFC playoffs because a couple of weeks ago, I'm like 505 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: that seven seed more than likely is gonna be the 506 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: Bears of the forty nine ers. If the forty nine 507 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: Ers beat the Browns this weekend, I think there's a 508 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,679 Speaker 1: pretty good chance the forty nine Ers and Bears are 509 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: both going to the playoffs. I mean, the Bears a 510 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: like a win or two away they are in the 511 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: playoffs if the Cowboys take out the Lions next week, like, 512 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 1: Detroit's kind of done though, because if the forty nine 513 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: Ers win, they got nine. The Bears just won, they 514 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: got nine. If Detroit loses next week, they'd be seven 515 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: and six, So the Niners and the Bears worst case scenario. 516 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: To me, it feels like they're both eleven win teams now. 517 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: The forty nine Ers gotta beat the Browns to be 518 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: an eleven win team for sure. But if they're eleven 519 00:28:56,080 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: win teams, Detroit's done and the seven playoff teams are 520 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: the Rams or Seattle, whoever wins the division. Obviously, the 521 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: Rams are in first place right now, the Bears and 522 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: the Packers would both be in and it would just 523 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: be determined how these next I think they play each 524 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: other twice in the next like I think the next 525 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: they play each other twice in three weeks, and the 526 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: Eagles more than it would take an epic collapse for 527 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: them not to win the division, but they're kind of 528 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: in a free fall. And yeah, that's your playoffs. And 529 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: then the NFC South winner, which right now is Tampa, 530 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: probably will be Tampa, but who knows, they're in a 531 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: free fall as well. But it's basically the AFC South, 532 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: the Packers, the Bears, the Rams, Seattle, the Eagles more 533 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: than likely, and the forty nine ers. That's your NFC playoffs, 534 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: and more than likely the Niners would be the seventh seed. 535 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: But if the Bears, like I said, I thought they 536 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: had no shot against the Packers, I will not be 537 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: shocked at all if they win one of those two games. 538 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: It's gonna be tough, and I think there's gonna be 539 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: a lot of pressure actually on the Packers. They're the 540 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: one that people like me have a ticket on to 541 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: go to the Super Bowl. They're the team that traded 542 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: two first round picks for Micah Parsons because they literally 543 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: thought and rightfully so, they were a player away. They're 544 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: the team when you watch yesterday like they're ceiling. To 545 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 1: me is higher than the Chicago Bears. Their quarterback is 546 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: just a better passer than Caleb, more consistent player. I 547 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: feel like when they let them slinging around, but like, 548 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean, I just the Bears feel 549 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: like one of those teams, like I'm done counting now, 550 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: I really am. I have a lot of respect for them. 551 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: I have a ton of Honestly, the teams I have 552 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: the most respect for this year. You know, the Rams, 553 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: if Stafford's healthy, they've been awesome. Seattle's been awesome. You know, 554 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: green Bay should be good. But like the Bears had 555 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: no business being that. It gets crazy. They're ninety three, Honestly, 556 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers have no business being eight and 557 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: four have their teams on injured reserve, you know. And 558 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: I think there's so much pressure on some of these teams, 559 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: and you kind of see it with Philadelphia. It's just 560 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: natural in that organization. That's their mental But it feels 561 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: like they're cracking a little bit. And this happened a 562 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: couple of years ago. It kind of feels like a 563 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: carbon copy of what we witnessed the year when Brian 564 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: Johnson was the offensive coordinator, So that was I knew 565 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: it was going to be weird. I expected something out 566 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,479 Speaker 1: of left field, and we kind of got it. I 567 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: did not have on my bingo car. The Chicago Bears 568 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: rushing for two hundred and eighty yards against the Philadelphia Eagles. Last, 569 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: but not least, We'll just get out of here on 570 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: this I saw, you know, Lane Kiffin went after one 571 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: of the local podcasters for essentially calling him a hoe 572 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: when he said you can't turn a hoe into a housewife. 573 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: Lane took offense to that, even though it's like, well, Lane, 574 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: it's like your history kind of speaks for yourself and 575 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: the way you've played this. Listen, it's a bizarre situation. 576 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: It's become it's kind of become real housewives. If he 577 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: does end up staying, was all this drama necessary? Does 578 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: he actually lose any equity if he ends up staying, 579 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 1: especially if he wins a couple of playoff games? Probably not. 580 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: I do think Lane kind of enjoys the hooplah and 581 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: the spectacle that is this situation. I watched a lot 582 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 1: of that game this morning. I'll miss if. I mean, 583 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: if quarterback overthrew a couple of plays, it could have 584 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: been fifty to twenty. I mean, that was ole miss 585 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: in a different universe in Mississippi State. But I do 586 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: think the Lane saga, it's pretty clear that the old 587 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: ultibatum or however you know the actual description what he 588 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: was told in that meeting a couple of weeks ago 589 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: was like, listen, Lane, you're not going to be able 590 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: to coach the playoffs if you're leaving. So we need 591 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: a decision. You either have to sign our extension come 592 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: Saturday or Sunday, or you have to go because we're 593 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: not going to be in a position where you're going 594 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 1: to coach the playoffs and also leave us. So they 595 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 1: clearly put him in a position where I think originally 596 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: he probably thought it could have his cake and eat 597 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 1: it too. And I don't blame him because I saw 598 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: a lot of people on the internet like ole Miss 599 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: deserves better than this. They do. They've literal I saw 600 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 1: Lan Kiffin say today, it's the best season the history 601 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: of the state. Missippi or Missippi State have never won 602 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: eleven games in the regular season. So I'd argue that 603 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,239 Speaker 1: ole Miss didn't deserve this because they've never had it. 604 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: This is as good as it has ever been. Now, 605 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: I get it. Even if you OutKick your coverage and 606 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: you're dating a ten and you're a five. Once she 607 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 1: starts acting a little weird, it enterts your feelings, even 608 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 1: if you get accustomed to that lifestyle. So I totally 609 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: understand the mentality of like this this sucks. Can you 610 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: just you know, shit or get off the pot here? 611 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: And it's pretty clear that he knows he has to 612 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: make a decision by tomorrow. And I also thought, like, 613 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: clearly Florida is you know, realize that he's not coming there. 614 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 1: It shows you what a different world we're in in 615 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: college football, Like the NFL is a great example. You 616 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: can you can win anywhere, like the Jags decent chance. 617 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 1: Liam Cohen is going to be in the playoffs this 618 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: year and Andy Reid will not say that out loud 619 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: three times. Or Ben Johnson and the Bears are going 620 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 1: to be a playoff team and Andy Reid is not. 621 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:29,320 Speaker 1: Like in the NFL, it's much more unpredictable. College typically 622 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: has been historically right, and now with nil and the 623 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 1: way it's funded, it's completely a little out of whack. 624 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: You saw today, dude staying at Missouri, Guys, you know, 625 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: staying at Vanderbilt. I would imagine Brent Key is going 626 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 1: to stay at Georgia Tech. Like coaches that would have 627 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 1: been lined up to try to get the Florida or 628 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: Penn State are like, yeah, let's say a Vanderbilt, but yeah, 629 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: they can pay me seven eight million dollars. We've got 630 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 1: a big nil budget. We'll win here. So if you 631 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 1: would have told someone ten years ago that loved college football, 632 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,240 Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, the old Miss coach, he's deciding between 633 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: Old Miss and LSU, and he's not interested in Florida 634 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: at all. You'd be like, what are you on drugs? 635 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: So we're just in a different time. We have to 636 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:14,800 Speaker 1: recalibrate a little bit how this operates, and it just listen, 637 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 1: there are things that I understand fan base is getting uncomfortable, 638 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,280 Speaker 1: getting mad, but it's just kind of a bizarre situation. 639 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 1: You know, he didn't fire these guys at Florida or LSU. 640 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 1: Could he have handled it better? I guess if you're 641 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:29,839 Speaker 1: an Old Miss fan, the only way he can handle 642 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: it well or handle it well would be like, yeah, 643 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 1: I'm not leaving. And if he leaves to LSU, could 644 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,320 Speaker 1: you really be like he's that crazy? It's like, truly, 645 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 1: most people would say a top two or three job 646 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,720 Speaker 1: in the country. But I do always think it's funny. 647 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 1: Coaches always downplay like it. Even Lady's been saying this. 648 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,359 Speaker 1: I've been consuming a lot of content for just kind 649 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: of this coaching cycle is, you know, we isolate the noise, 650 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 1: We keep out the distractions, We don't let that get 651 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 1: into our building. And then he goes up to a 652 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,280 Speaker 1: dude on like a local podcast, starts talking shit. It's like, Lane, 653 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,399 Speaker 1: You're listening to everything, all these guys, and I don't 654 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: blame you, Like it's we're all human beings if someone's 655 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:16,279 Speaker 1: talking about us, especially negatively. Honestly, it's easy for me 656 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 1: when someone's like, hey man, you know, like, do you 657 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 1: look at your comments? I don't, because the negative stuff 658 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 1: does impact you. Not that I at this point in time, 659 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 1: I'm going to responder or whatever, but I don't even 660 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 1: want to let these negative thoughts into my mind. But 661 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 1: in positions like Lane, where you got like ten handlers 662 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: constantly showing you what people are saying about you, and 663 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:39,279 Speaker 1: I'm sure your children are also showing you, how would 664 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 1: it not push you off even if it's true. So 665 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: I just think part of college football your ability to 666 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 1: steal coaches adds a reality show element that the NFL 667 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 1: just doesn't have, because, like, if the NFL was college, 668 00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 1: if I was the New York Giants, I'd be like, hey, 669 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,399 Speaker 1: can we make a hundred million dollar offer to Ben Johnson? Like, well, 670 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 1: he just got the Bear's job, Like I don't give 671 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 1: a shit. I want him to be my coach. And 672 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 1: if we can't, can we try to get Kyle shanahan 673 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,840 Speaker 1: Sean McVay because that's what happens in college football. Me 674 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:12,719 Speaker 1: just saying, think how crazy that is that I just 675 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,720 Speaker 1: said that out loud. It's like, who are the giants 676 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,879 Speaker 1: top three targets? Sean McVay, Kyle Shanahan, Ben Johnson. She'd 677 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,799 Speaker 1: be like, bro, what are you talking about? Well, that's 678 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 1: how college works. It's like who's Penn State's number one target, 679 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 1: Kaylin du Boor it's like, well he's the Alabama head coach, Like, yeah, 680 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,319 Speaker 1: I want Kalen, I want Kayleen. I wanted a bor 681 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,359 Speaker 1: to be my head coach, but he's coaching Bama. Well 682 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 1: yeah if I can't. If I can't get him, I'll 683 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,239 Speaker 1: steal someone else's coach. It's just how it works, and 684 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,839 Speaker 1: that creates the chaos. Of this whole situation. It's just 685 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: it's pretty nuts just to begin with, just on the 686 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:50,839 Speaker 1: premise of you can literally steal someone else's coach who 687 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,279 Speaker 1: is in your conference. So it's one thing to like, 688 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 1: if you're Washington and you steal Fresno State's coach, it's like, well, 689 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 1: I'm they're in a lower division. Welcome to the big leagues, right. 690 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 1: There's a reason that Amazon and Target and Walmart put 691 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:06,760 Speaker 1: the little guy out of business every once in a while. 692 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: But it's like, we're in the conference, we both play 693 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,960 Speaker 1: our games on ESPN, we both are part of the 694 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 1: same media deal. It's again, we don't care. We think 695 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 1: we're better than you, and we're going to steal your coach. 696 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 1: So it's just it's just it's it's a setup for 697 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:27,279 Speaker 1: animosity and anger and bitterness and these weird situations. So 698 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 1: uh yeah, man, I uh, I'm excited to see what 699 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,400 Speaker 1: happens because clearly when he says I kind of believe 700 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,799 Speaker 1: him that maybe he truly doesn't know yet, and if 701 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:43,319 Speaker 1: he does come back, that would be that would be 702 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,919 Speaker 1: pretty nuts. My guess. Would be here at at five 703 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 1: o'clock mountain time here in Arizona, that it will be 704 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 1: announced at sometime tomorrow that Lane Kiffin is going to 705 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:59,280 Speaker 1: Louisiana State University. But my heart, that's what my brain says. 706 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 1: My heart is rooting for him to stay. I think 707 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 1: that would be just kind of a cool, pure just 708 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: kind of backing up what he's actually saying. Di Misissippi 709 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,759 Speaker 1: changed his life everything, you know, kicked alcohol, he got 710 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 1: his family back together, and yeah, it'd be a feel 711 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,399 Speaker 1: good story for the little guy. Even though Ole miss 712 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,920 Speaker 1: Is has a twenty five million dollar roster and is 713 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,880 Speaker 1: currently paying their head coach ten million dollars, so I 714 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: actually don't know how little they are in twenty twenty five. 715 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: But have a great day, enjoy all the college football tomorrow. 716 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,719 Speaker 1: Would love to see Michigan beat Ohio State again, though 717 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna happen, and I just want 718 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,719 Speaker 1: some chaos tomorrow. Wouldn't mind. I like Klin, but I 719 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,600 Speaker 1: do think it would be kind of funny if if 720 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,880 Speaker 1: he lost, then he left to Penn State, and then 721 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Lane Kiffen would would start being like, 722 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: would he take the LSU job or commit to Ole 723 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 1: miss and then back out and go to Alabama? That 724 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 1: would truly make him the most hated man of all time, 725 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 1: but I'm kind of rooting for that. Have a great night, 726 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 1: see everybody later. Audios. The volume
