Bears 74 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 2: got the ball, Rams did not do anything with it 75 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 2: on their first possession. Bears get it, go down, kick 76 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 2: a field goal, win the game. Caleb Williams had other ideas. 77 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 2: He said, you know what, I went to SC. I 78 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 2: want to see an LA team do well because I 79 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 2: couldn't do well for an LA team, So. 80 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: I'll help an LA team. And he did. And I'd 81 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: like to thank Caleb Williams. 82 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, you didn't do squad at USC in terms of 83 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 2: helping the Trojans win anything, but I'm very impressive of 84 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 2: helping the Rams win. So game ball go to Caleb Williams. 85 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: There. 86 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 2: The Bears quarterback Matthew Stafford, who didn't have a touchdown 87 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 2: but was captain Clutch, completed three passes for first downs. 88 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:11,679 Speaker 1: On that final drive. 89 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 2: A sixteen yard of to Puka Nakula to set the 90 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 2: Rams up in field goal range and give them the 91 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 2: chance to win the game. So the Rams are off 92 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 2: to Seattle now and they can send Sam Darnold in 93 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 2: the Seahawks home. That'll be coming up on Sunday. But 94 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 2: the better story is in the losing locker room. The 95 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 2: better story losing the lockings of the Bears are back 96 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 2: in hybernation mode. As the play that it was all 97 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 2: horny about the pants down was Kayleb Williams throwing a 98 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 2: fourteen yard game tying chuck it and duck throw in 99 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 2: the final seconds to Cole Clement the tight end. It 100 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 2: traveled over fifty yards because he kept running backwards. 101 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: What are you doing? Why are you going? 102 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 2: You're going the wrong way, You're going the wrong way, and. 103 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: Anyway, he just chucked it up. 104 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 2: The longest completed pass by air distance in the red 105 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 2: zone since they started tracking, since the Nerds took over 106 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: football statistics, and that was back in twenty sixteen, so 107 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 2: it's been a decade that had a completion probavariability. The 108 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams game tying touchdown pass of less than twenty percent. 109 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 2: That is a good jumping off point. So let us 110 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 2: discuss the question for the esteem panel. What happened to 111 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 2: all of the bears momentum? Where did it go? Where 112 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 2: did it go? After that late touchdown by Caleb Williams. 113 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 2: Collinsworth had his knee pats out. He was so excited 114 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 2: for Caleb Williams, and Tarika sounded like he had grew 115 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 2: up a Bears fan the way he was describing the body, 116 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 2: the greatest they've never seen. So clearly the Bears couldn't 117 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 2: lose that game. It was a fade accompany. How did 118 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 2: they do it? How did they not win that game? 119 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 2: What happened to the momentum? 120 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: So I've got fajitas, freestyle jazz. 121 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 2: And spit on your hands, and we will combine all 122 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 2: of these things together and we're gonna make some delicious 123 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 2: deep dish pizza which is still outstanding, and the Bears 124 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 2: can drown their sorrows in big slices of deep dish pizza. 125 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: Absolutely all right. 126 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 2: So first of all, all right, the Bears momentum. 127 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: I'll tell you where the momentum is. 128 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 2: It's the same place you can find Bigfoot, the tooth Fairy, 129 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 2: and the Easter Bunny. They all hang out together, their roommates. 130 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 2: Momentum Uncle Mo, which I thought lives in Jersey. But 131 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 2: Mo and the Tooth Fairy, best friends, Bigfoot and of 132 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 2: course better known as Sasquatch and the Easter Money. It 133 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 2: just never existed. It's like it never existed. Momentum is 134 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 2: sports talk, MSG is what is you sprinkling on anything? 135 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: Sprinkle sprinkle, sprinkle sprinkles. 136 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, and suddenly dumb people think it enhanced the flavor. 137 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 2: It doesn't. Oh my god. The Bears didn't lose momentum. 138 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 2: They confirmed the diagnosis is what they did in this game. 139 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 2: The touchdown that was like the firework finale, that late 140 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 2: touchdown by Caleb Williams where we just threw it up 141 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 2: in the air and define intervention took over there. And 142 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 2: then the overtime happened for Chicago and the Bears needed 143 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 2: some oxygen and permission to use said oxygen at that point. 144 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: So the cardiac kids they. 145 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 2: Were until the unfortunately the heart monitor flat line and 146 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 2: now they're. 147 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: Just see you later, bye bye, You're gone out of here. Yeah. 148 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 2: So there they were set up in overtime rams fetched 149 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 2: around on their first possession. So the Bears got it 150 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 2: and did nothing with it other than give it back, 151 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 2: other than give it back to the Rams and set 152 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 2: them up there. 153 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 1: So momentum just one of. 154 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 2: Those words that sportscasters liked to use when they just 155 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 2: wanted to explain use for anything. 156 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 1: Momentum. And I walked into the street, I had momentum. 157 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I walked down to the toilet, I took a 158 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 2: one that I had a lot of momentum and flushed 159 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 2: the toilet a lot of mo, lot of mo. Absolutely, yes, clearly, 160 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 2: it's just mumbo jump. It's like word fahitas.

If momentum were real, the Bears 164 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 2: right now would be getting ready to head to Seattle 165 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 2: for the NFC title Game. Alias they're not, so Ben Johnson. 166 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 2: It's all about the magic, the magical season for the 167 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 2: Chicago Bears. 168 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: So the Bears ought. 169 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 2: To go on Amazon Prime, Ben Johnson, and I think 170 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 2: they still have some old amazing Crescin magic kits, and 171 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 2: they can get one of those magic kits. Amazon Prime 172 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 2: have it delivered there because they clearly need some more abracadabra, 173 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 2: hocus pocus and presto at Hallas Hall because they ran 174 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 2: out of tricks. 175 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 1: Now. 176 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 2: Secondly, as for Caleb Williams, the man with the nicest 177 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 2: fingernails in the NFL, So the circus throw, who oh 178 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 2: that everyone was goga for, or he just ran back, 179 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 2: did everything you're not supposed to do, Everything you're not 180 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 2: supposed to do he did, and for that particular play 181 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 2: it worked, and so he runs back and they were 182 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 2: all excited about that. However, Williams ended this game with 183 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 2: three interceptions. Three interceptions in this game, backbreaking for the Chicago. 184 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: Bears opportunity to win this game. 185 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 2: So the question, as the Bears do inventory their season 186 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 2: is now Dune skis is the glass half full or 187 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 2: is the glass half empty? On quarterback Caleb Williams at 188 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 2: this particular point, So I would be I'm not gonna 189 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 2: be totally, Benny Bright said, but I'll be fair here. Listen, 190 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 2: the glass for Caleb Williams is half full. However, it's 191 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 2: got these little microscopic hairline cracks. He can't even see 192 00:10:58,440 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 2: them to the naked eye, but you put them under 193 00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 2: the malor microscope, and there's some hairline cracks there, and 194 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 2: so the glass is starting to sweat a little bit 195 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 2: and sitting on the on the table. But the tables 196 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 2: built by a guy who just kind of eyeballed it 197 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 2: and then shrugged and blamed the floor because it's not 198 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 2: quite stable. 199 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: So I just eyeballed it. I didn't Why didn't you 200 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: follow the instruction? Well, I didn't need to follow the instruction. 201 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 2: Caleb williamsn't following the instructions. There is no coach on 202 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 2: godscreen Earth that tells you on a fourth down you've 203 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,839 Speaker 2: got to have it play, to run as far back 204 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 2: as you possibly can and then just chuck the thing 205 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 2: up in the air. 206 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: All right. 207 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 2: Nobody tells you to do that. He did it, and 208 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 2: it worked that time. Caleb Williams is a fun zone 209 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 2: type of quarterback. 210 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: He's a one man band. 211 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 2: He's got the drums to the right, he's got the 212 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 2: guitar to the left. Little smoke machine got that over 213 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 2: there as well. Occasionally that smoke machine sets off the 214 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 2: fire alarm, and so Caleb also has it appears to 215 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 2: be an underlying condition. It's the old double edged sword 216 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 2: here for the Bears he is the unslinger quarterback. And 217 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 2: if it was music, think of it like freestyle jazz. 218 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 2: You know, sometimes freestyle jazz is just a masterpiece, it's genius, 219 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 2: and then there's other times it's the solo nobody wanted, 220 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 2: nobody asked for. 221 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: What are you doing? 222 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 2: I've got a headache. I've got a migraine headache from 223 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 2: what you called freestyle jazz. It was terrible, And so listen, 224 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 2: big plays, big thrills, all that for Caleb Williams in 225 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 2: this game, and the turnovers that make your fan base 226 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 2: age like dog in Dog Gears watching this happen. There 227 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 2: so no ifs ands or butts about it. It was 228 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 2: reckless and in this game it ended up costing these 229 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 2: Chicago Bears. The Rams do not win this game without 230 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 2: the assist of Caleb will He does get a game 231 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,199 Speaker 2: bo from the Rams. Caleb Williams tremendous job finally helping 232 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 2: an LA team win. 233 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: A big game. He couldn't do that at sc again, 234 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: so good job by him and. 235 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 2: The Chicago If Caleb just kind of held on to 236 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 2: it a little bit, look close to the best, you know, 237 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 2: and they're getting ready to go to the Pacific Northwest 238 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 2: but the holster, he couldn't holster the cape. 239 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: He had to use the cape, and he used the 240 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: cape and all that. That's the deal. It's the old 241 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: line for better or worse. 242 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 2: You take the good with the bad, and that's what 243 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 2: the Bears are gonna have to deal with with Kayle Winnings. 244 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 2: The problem with the Bears, I see is you've got 245 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 2: Ben Johnson who does things unorthodox, and you combine that 246 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 2: with kayleb Williams. That does not seem like that's going 247 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 2: to have a lot of success in the playoffs. One 248 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 2: of those two guys is gonna have to change all right, 249 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 2: going forward on fourth down as often as the Bears did, 250 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 2: and short yardage situations not being able to get that done. 251 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 2: And so you buy the fireworks, and the Bears bought 252 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 2: the fireworks. You're gonna you can't complain when things start exploding. 253 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 2: So the Bears like the fireworks of Ben Johnson and 254 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 2: they like Kyla win Did I get it? But they 255 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 2: had a big time year by Bears standards, You get 256 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 2: a week some things. The thing of a jig needs 257 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 2: to be moved around a little bit to the right 258 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 2: in order for this to work. So and again, the 259 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 2: glass is half full, glasses half full. I just don't 260 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 2: lean on that table because the guy eyeballed it and 261 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 2: put that thing together. 262 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: I don't know that that's gonna work all right now. 263 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 2: Final thought on the Rams side of things, the Rams 264 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 2: side of things. So La wins a game at Soldier 265 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 2: Field in a game played in ice box conditions without 266 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford having a touchdown pass. The MVP this year 267 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 2: did not have a touchdown pass against the Bears in 268 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 2: that game. So the question is this, what message did 269 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 2: the Sean McVay Rams send by winning at Soldier Field 270 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 2: in Chicago. So it was a reminder, It was a 271 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 2: refresher course, rather simple here. These are not your daddy's Rams. 272 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 2: These are not your granddaddy's Rams. No, no, no, no, 273 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 2: this is not the old Ram tropes of years ago. 274 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 2: That these guys they're just doing pilates on the beach 275 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 2: and soy lattes in soft serve West Coast Football. 276 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: No, no, new, new, new new. 277 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 2: That was a knuckle sandwich. They gave the Chicago Bears 278 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 2: your lunch pail spin on your hand. Kind of a 279 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 2: win for the Rams in Chicago and the only road 280 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 2: team to win this weekend was the La Rams. All 281 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 2: the other home teams were able to win their games, 282 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 2: the Rams the only road team to get it done. 283 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 2: And so the Rams find themselves in a situation where 284 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 2: they are in position, the Rams to go back to 285 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 2: a super Bowl, and all that's standing in their way 286 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 2: is the Seattle Seahawks, who, without the officials helping them, 287 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 2: they would have swept the season series. 288 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: This game would be in LA, doesn't matter. 289 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 2: The officials had to send Pookinakou a message in that 290 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 2: game in Seattle, where, if you remember, they just handed 291 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 2: the Seahawks the. 292 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: Two points. 293 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 2: Unbelievable, still one of the most egregious calls in NFL history. 294 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 2: It just kind of forgets about that. It's like, well, 295 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 2: we'll just give it to them. Well we didn't get it, 296 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 2: but we'll just do We'll just well that's fine, all 297 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 2: right anyway. So, uh, I went back and I checked 298 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 2: my my inboxes. I wanted to make sure that I 299 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 2: thought maybe I was having a dream. So I went 300 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 2: back and I looked at my inbox and I was like, okay, 301 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 2: so what were all those messages my friends in Chicago 302 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 2: and the Bears fans were sending me? So's uh, I saw, 303 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 2: I got a lot of these. The Rams are soft. 304 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 2: That came up a lot on the inbox. They they 305 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 2: play in a dome, Well, it's kind of a faux dome. 306 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 2: It's not a real dome. The NFL says, it's not 307 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 2: a dome. There's a roof on it, but it's open 308 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 2: on the ends, so it's like everything else in LA, 309 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 2: it's fake. 310 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: It's a fake dome. They play. 311 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 2: Also at Stafford is going to turn into a human popsicle. 312 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 2: A lot of you told me that at Soldier Field, 313 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 2: and the Rams can't win unless Stafford plays, well, well 314 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 2: that's a lie. 315 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: Uh So who goofed? I've got to know who goofed? 316 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: I've got to know. Listen. 317 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 2: Was this a sizzle real game for Matthew Stafford. No, 318 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 2: it was not a sizzle real game. There's no pirouette 319 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 2: on the catwalk. You're not going to be doing that, 320 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 2: No glamour shots, no posting on social media. It wasn't 321 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 2: that kind of a day. It was not for Matthew Stafford. 322 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 2: This was the Rams defense. Even though the Bears had 323 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 2: a bunch of yards, they scored bunch points like the 324 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 2: Bears moved the ball between the twenties pretty well, the 325 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 2: Rams defense and the running game, physicality, punching the time card, 326 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 2: getting her done, clocking out with a win, and now 327 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 2: again one step away from the football version of the 328 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 2: Promised Land here and so as far as toughness, short 329 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 2: yardage football, and there are old Chicago Bears players rolling 330 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 2: over in graveyards because the Chicago Bears on short yard 331 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 2: which oftentimes got pushed back by the La Rams. How 332 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 2: embarrassing is that for Ben Johnson and the Chicago Bears. 333 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 2: The Bears needed a crowbar and still couldn't move the 334 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 2: pile most of the time on short yards third and one, 335 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 2: fourth down, one and one. The Rams were able to 336 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 2: bottle them up like expired hot sauce. It was machiese 337 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 2: mo intestinal fortitude, all that stuff, making plays in key 338 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,239 Speaker 2: moments there, whatever it takes, whatever it takes. And so 339 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 2: the Rams win with grease under their fingernails. That's a 340 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 2: grease under the fingernails type of win there in Chicago, 341 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 2: rather embarrassing.

If you missed the Fifth Hour Podcast 400 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 2: over the weekend, if we have a problem extra spicy, 401 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 2: you can go back and hear that. Don't do it 402 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 2: now we're doing the live show, or if you're listening 403 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 2: on the podcast, the podcast show. But either way, at 404 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 2: some point today go back and hear that content the 405 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 2: Fifth Hour Podcast all weekend long. Stuck behind an old 406 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 2: guy and whatnot? The Victorious, the Patriots victorious. So we 407 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 2: are down to the final four of the NFL, just 408 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 2: four teams left. Pretty good chance we get a Super 409 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 2: Bowl rematch, at least based on the obviously the franchise 410 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 2: is involved. In fact, if you look at the final 411 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 2: four and say, who's what matchups are we conceivably going 412 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 2: to get in the Super Bowl, we can get the 413 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 2: all West Coast matchup in the Super Bowl, well not 414 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 2: West Coast, Denver's not the West Coast, but the all 415 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 2: Western matchup Rams or Seahawks. If the Broncos win, could 416 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 2: look on that and then it could get the Patriots 417 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 2: and Rams so they played in the Super Bowl back 418 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 2: in the day. And then also the other possibility Seattle 419 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 2: and New England, which also happened in the Super Bowl, 420 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 2: and Denver. So if Seattle wins, it doesn't matter'm gonna 421 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 2: get a rematch of a previous Super Bowl. So pretty 422 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 2: good chance. 423 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: Do you think it's going to be your Rams, don't you, Ben? Well, 424 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: they should win. 425 00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 2: They have the better quarterback, they have the better coach. 426 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 2: There's no home field advantage in Seattle. The Seahawks are 427 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 2: highly overrated and the Rams would have swept them had 428 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 2: it not been for the officials with one of the 429 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 2: worst calls ever. The NFL media is afraid to talk 430 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 2: about that because obviously they all work. 431 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: For the NFL. 432 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 2: I don't I am allowed to talk about that, but 433 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 2: they you're not supposed to go there. There was just 434 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 2: gave Seattle and it was ridiculous. Anyway, we don't need 435 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 2: to readjudicate that. But we'll see what happens whether it 436 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 2: will not be that big a deal. It's not gonna 437 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 2: be like Chicago in Seattle, so we look for that 438 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 2: this weekend. Let's see here, see page down here. Fergduck says, 439 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,199 Speaker 2: congrats on your Rams remaining in the final four. Between 440 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 2: the Rams, Dodgers, and Clippers. It seems like all your 441 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 2: team's practice practically live in the final four. Yeah, there 442 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 2: has been a lot of net cutting. 443 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: Down that has taken place. Yeah. 444 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,719 Speaker 2: Fat Daddy, who's an Angel fan, says, as always, Big Ben, 445 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 2: the monologue is on par to the weekend great games, 446 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 2: except for the forty nine er game where they got hammered. 447 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: He's the daddy. There you go, he says. PS. I 448 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: wonder if Coop. 449 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 2: Meant I think he meant did any air high fives 450 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 2: with the missus updates? But I don't know. Coop's not here, 451 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 2: so I guess did you drive back from Denver? I 452 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 2: guess they can't get flights on a Sunday. 453 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: Back the game was on Saturday, book his staff. 454 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 5: The date hadn't been decided yet whether it was going 455 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 5: to be Saturday or Sunday. 456 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: But I love your attitude about that. Ben come in 457 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: with good positive. 458 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 2: Vibes, positivity, very positivity, and I absolutely it's very important 459 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:37,120 Speaker 2: to get back. 460 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 1: And be part of the show. And that's why we 461 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: have Patrick. How about Patrick. You look at that. There's 462 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 1: a guy that wants to be here, our buddy Patrick. 463 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 2: All Right, Robbie, the Mariner fan writes in he says, 464 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 2: after losing all of my bets and watching Josh Allen 465 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 2: lose this weekend, I contemplated quitting sports. Five minutes later, 466 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 2: I saw the Falcons hired Kevin Stefanski, and I ended 467 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 2: my boycott. Robbie, wouldn't Stefanski that the Falcons are embarrassed 468 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 2: by Stefanski. 469 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 1: They announced it on. 470 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 2: Saturday during the playoffs, Like that's like, we're embarrassed we 471 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 2: hired this coach, don't. 472 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: I hope nobody hears about it. We're gonna hire Kevin Stefanski. 473 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 2: Well, you guys are watching the playoffs, we are hiring 474 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:22,360 Speaker 2: the old Cleveland Browns coach. My god, oh wait, it's 475 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 2: like a Southern version of the Browns, the Atlanta Falcons 476 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 2: and Robbie you should you should consider quitning sports. 477 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: I used to have. 478 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 2: My biggest fan of all was this guy named the 479 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 2: Jahattis John from Michigan and John he supported everything. Was 480 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,479 Speaker 2: a big super fan of mine and just love the guy, right, 481 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 2: huge fan of what I did. And then he got 482 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 2: to his late thirties and he said, if the Cubs 483 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 2: don't win, oh no, no, it wasn't the Cubs. 484 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: He's he's a Detroit or Mission guy. 485 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 2: So if the Lions don't win, he said, that's it, 486 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 2: I'm done with sports, and he quit. And I've never 487 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 2: heard from him since. He literally just quit. 488 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: Everything, and he's gave up on everything and moved on 489 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 1: and said that's it. I'm out. See you later. Let's 490 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: see here. 491 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 2: King Rory writes in I would like to thank you 492 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 2: and McVeigh for avenging his friend Matt Lafleur, who somehow 493 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 2: got a contract extension after the loss to the Bears. Now, 494 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,199 Speaker 2: hopefully the NFL scriptwriters or the refs don't get in 495 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 2: the rams way this time, I know, right, And that's 496 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 2: the only thing I worrying was, like, listen, Donald blows. 497 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 2: We all know that the guy sucks. Seattle's not as 498 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 2: good as the Rams, and the only thing they can 499 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 2: interfere is the officials. That's it.

Apropos of the problems with the referee in the NFL, 580 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 6: I just want to really briefly that Buffalo game at 581 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 6: the end, in the overtime, that was just shameful what 582 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 6: the reference did on those two pass interference calls that 583 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 6: entire game. They'd been letting those guys play rough play, 584 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 6: physical grab and all that stuff. 585 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 2: Okay, but you're you, you you do admit that it 586 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 2: was they were penalties, right, you admit that that they did. 587 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 6: But but there were there were calls at least as 588 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 6: egregious as them earlier against against Denver that they didn't make. 589 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 2: But if they had, if they hadn't, if they hadn't 590 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 2: called that, though, that would have you know, either way, 591 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 2: that would have been the end of them, right, if 592 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 2: they hadn't called it, it would have been like, oh 593 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,080 Speaker 2: my god, I can't believe you didn't call that like that. 594 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 2: You got to make that call. So no, And then 595 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 2: then there would be Denver fans saying, I can't. I mean, 596 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 2: what are you doing. You're helping the Bills out, You're 597 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 2: helping Josh Allen out. 598 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 6: But they let but they let Denver get away with 599 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 6: that a couple of times. There was one play where 600 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 6: a Buffalo receiver was going to catch a ball in 601 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 6: the end zone and on the replay they showed the 602 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 6: guy grabbing his left arm and. 603 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 7: Pulling it down. 604 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 2: Well, I think it worked. I think it worked out well. Listen, 605 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 2: Josh Allen choked, and nobody wants to talk about that. 606 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 2: They want to talk about the calls by the referee. 607 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: And I would do. 608 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 2: It's a great it's a great way to turn the 609 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 2: attention away from the issue that Josh Allen is your 610 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 2: franchise quarterback. 611 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: He's the greatest thing of all time. The guy choked. 612 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 2: In a year with no great quarterbacks left in the 613 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 2: playoffs other than Matthew Stafford, Josh Allen had it. He 614 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 2: they came back to Bills in the second half, they 615 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 2: had the game, and they blew it so and he blew. 616 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 2: He kept turn the ball over the thing before halftime. 617 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 2: I know you're not gonna like this, but it was 618 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 2: just embarrassing for Josh Allen. But anyway, yeah, I'm not 619 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 2: I'm not. 620 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 6: A Buffalo fan. 621 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 2: I'm a Bengal fan because because you sound you sound 622 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 2: like a Buffalo fan. 623 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: You sound like a Buffalo fan. 624 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 6: I've got no investment in Buffalo, but I'm a football fan. Yeah, 625 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 6: And I you know, the overtime of a second round 626 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 6: playoff game, you just don't make those calls. 627 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 2: Okay, so you're allowed the hold, you're allowed to hold 628 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 2: and all that, and you don't know. 629 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 6: I gotta tell you. I got to tell you. Both 630 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 6: of those calls were very borderline. 631 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't think the second one was at all. 632 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 2: I guess this classic textbook pass interference, Like, that's that's 633 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 2: what pass interference is. Like you put it before the 634 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 2: ball got there. You you made contact, that's it. 635 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 6: I agree with you. But if that first one hadn't 636 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 6: been called, they wouldn't have been down there to throw 637 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 6: that pass. 638 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: How much money do you lose in the game. 639 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 6: Not a dime. 640 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,239 Speaker 1: I'm not a game, you're not a gamer. I can't. No. 641 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 6: I just watched that game and saw it. You know, 642 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 6: they stole that from John Challenge. That was my opinion. 643 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: All right. 644 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 2: I think Josh Allen stole it from Josh Allen. That's 645 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 2: what happened. I mean, he just didn't make he didn't 646 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 2: get done. 647 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: But all right, we'll let you go. But there you go. 648 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: It's all thank I don't like the referees. 649 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 2: I think the referees it's inconsistent, the officiating in the NFL. 650 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 2: I know, I didn't have as many issues as you did, Keith. 651 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 2: I mean I saw the complaining from the Buffalo side 652 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 2: and all that. I was like, my god, you look 653 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 2: at that setup and the way the game ended, like 654 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 2: Buffalo had plenty of opportunities to get it done and 655 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 2: did not did not get it done. 656 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: So anyway, it is The Ben Mahlor Show. 657 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 2: If you would like to be part eight seven seven 658 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 2: ninety nine on Fox is the number.

My point is when 671 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 7: they score that touchdown, go for two in the win. 672 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,879 Speaker 7: Like what they bet on was that when they went 673 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 7: to overtime, they said, we have the better chance of 674 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 7: making the pat and then bringing up every possible outcoming 675 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 7: overtime and winning that game is better than the chances 676 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 7: of us making one play from the two yard line 677 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 7: the two points in the version to win the game. 678 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't have I didn't have a problem with 679 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 2: them going for the extra point. 680 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 1: They were at home. Usually on the road, you go 681 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 1: for the win. 682 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 2: At home, you play for overtime because you have home 683 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,839 Speaker 2: field advantage and all that stuff. And they were at 684 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 2: home and they had the ball, so it actually, if 685 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams is going to screw up, the Bears win 686 00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 2: the game. 687 00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 1: But he screwed it up. So, I mean, that was 688 00:34:59,480 --> 00:34:59,879 Speaker 1: their shot. 689 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 2: And obviously Ben Johnson didn't have confidence in Caleb Williams. 690 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:03,800 Speaker 1: Otherwise he would have gone. 691 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 2: For it, right, I mean, you go for it if 692 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 2: you think your guy's going to be able to get 693 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 2: it done. 694 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: He didn't think he would be able to get it done. 695 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:10,839 Speaker 1: Otherwise he would have gone for it. 696 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 7: But like listen, so the math is the math that 697 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 7: I need help with, is they played for overtime, and 698 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,280 Speaker 7: the overtime went exactly how they wanted. The defense forced 699 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 7: a three and out. Yeah, And when they got that 700 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 7: three and out and they got the punt on the 701 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 7: sixteen yard line, they had to go eighty four yards 702 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,439 Speaker 7: of a score or if they go for two during 703 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 7: the two yard line, how would you go, Well, they. 704 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 2: Didn't have to go eighty four all they had to 705 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 2: do was get to like the thirty five yard line 706 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 2: to kick a field goal. 707 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,399 Speaker 1: They didn't have to get a touchdown to win the game. 708 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:36,399 Speaker 1: The Rams already had the ball. 709 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 2: The Rams got the ball first, and then they ended 710 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,800 Speaker 2: up not doing anything and punted it to the Bears, 711 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 2: and so the Bears got it, and then all they 712 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 2: had to do was getting field goal range. Field goal 713 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 2: range now in the NFL, is like the forty yard 714 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 2: line the other team's forty yard line, or even field 715 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 2: goal range exactly. 716 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 7: Then to get in field goal range, you still to 717 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 7: your point, he still had to deal with thirty forty 718 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 7: yards to. 719 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: Get to That's nothing. That's nothing for a professional football team. 720 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,240 Speaker 1: What are they? Is it not a Pop Warner team? 721 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,839 Speaker 7: Or you have one player to go two yards? Why 722 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 7: would you like you can go two yards and win 723 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,320 Speaker 7: the game, or you can go forty yards. 724 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 1: And hope to kick a. 725 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 2: I disagree. I mean you said you thought you should 726 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 2: have gone for it. I would if I was the Bears, 727 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 2: I would have done what they did. But because he 728 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,879 Speaker 2: obviously Caleb didn't trust him. But thanks for I gotta 729 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,839 Speaker 2: leave it there, but thank you Paul who says bad 730 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 2: job by Ben Johnson not going for. 731 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,359 Speaker 1: Years, suck well. 732 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:27,439 Speaker 2: Jared Stidham is going to start in the Final four 733 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 2: this weekend.

It sounded like that. 809 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:51,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, So anyway, I guess I thought you were allowed 810 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:56,040 Speaker 2: in sports. After David Ortiz cursed after the Boston Marathon bombing, 811 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:57,840 Speaker 2: I thought the FCC is like, Okay, you're. 812 00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 1: Allowed to curse, and it's lives and all that stuff. 813 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,880 Speaker 1: So but apparently know what they say happens. 814 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,800 Speaker 2: Can we agree as adults that the S word should 815 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:09,320 Speaker 2: be allowed? 816 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,800 Speaker 1: Can we agree like that?
