1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up,

2
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: straight Fire fan, It's me Jason McIntyre. This is Straight

3
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: Fire for Tuesday, October. And I apologize for not having

4
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: an extra bounce in my step this morning. I went

5
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: to bed early last night. I had a large glass

6
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: of milk to calm the nerves. Ah. My Survivor season

7
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: is over, ladies and gentlemen. It was a good run,

8
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: not a great run. Last year. It stung. I'm in

9
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: this big pool. Two dollars I believe was on the line.

10
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 1: I got bounced in week seventeen. I'll never forget it.

11
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: Texans destroy the Chargers as big underdogs and I was

12
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: knocked out. I was I think I was one of

13
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: the like then there was like ten maybe there was

14
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: like twelve people left, and like seven of us had

15
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: the Charge or some insane number like that. But it hurts.

16
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: And I'll say this one hurt even more because I

17
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: had the Patriots in both my Survivor leagues and one

18
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: of them, there's only five people left in it now

19
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: because almost everyone had the Patriots, and in the other

20
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: one half the people had the Patriots, the big money one.

21
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: It's really hurts folks, it's just it's weird. You know,

22
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: survivor you don't win money on a weekly basis. You

23
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,919
Speaker 1: it's just survive in advance. And you think, like, oh,

24
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: I got Bill Belichick against a rookie coach, a young

25
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: quarterback in primetime in New England. The spread opened at

26
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: six and a half, It got bet up to eight

27
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: and a half. That is not just normal people and

28
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: buddy betting money. That is professional, big money moving it

29
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: through seven, through the seven and a half, through the

30
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: eight to eight and a half, and I saw but

31
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: freezing cold takes. That Twitter account had a u They

32
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: just had a lot of fun making fun of every

33
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: analyst in the world. Everyone, like all of them pick

34
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots to win this game. One of them, some

35
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: guy at NBC Sports does gambling, said there's a chance

36
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: the Bear, there's a good chance the Bears gets shut out,

37
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: or something along those lines. Nobody had the Bears winning,

38
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: much less winning the game, but killing the Patriots straight

39
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 1: up embarrassing Bill Belichick at home in a game. And

40
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: it this this was kind of a crazy game. And yeah,

41
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: we'll talk about a couple other subjects in a minute,

42
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: but I just this hurt man this hurt, guys, This

43
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: one stunk. I am reeling. I'm out of survivor both

44
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: of my leagues. And what hurt was they start mac

45
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,119
Speaker 1: Jones okay, they instantly fall down. Three nothing. Mac Jones

46
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: shows an interception. It is tend nothing and it's like,

47
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: all right, we gotta get Bailey Zappy in there, and

48
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: of course, you know, Belichick does the right thing, goes

49
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: to Bailey Zappy and in what felt like a storybook moment,

50
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: Billy Zappie comes in, bing bang boom, touchdown. Oh my gosh,

51
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: Fox bor erupts and then there's a tipball interception for

52
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: Bailey Zappy and the Patriots. Bailly Zappy didn't actually intercept

53
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: the past, but you know what I mean. Three plays later,

54
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: Bailey Zappy bomb touchdown and it's like bedlam, Oh my gosh,

55
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: what a story Mac Jones is getting traded. Blah blah

56
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. It was crazy. At that point, it's

57
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: fourteen Patriots. I'm feeling good about the bat. I'm like,

58
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: all right, Bailey's Appy cool, I'm onto next week. Jets

59
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: can the Jets saw Bailey Zappy. Honestly, that is the

60
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: state of mind when Bailey Zappy had what was essentially

61
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: a Jeremy Lynn moment, bringing the Patriots back. He's got

62
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: the crowd with him, folks. After that, the Bears reeled

63
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: off the next twenty three points to get their first

64
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: win over the Patriots since two thousand. I mean, listen,

65
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: it was one of those surreal moments. I know, it's

66
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: week seven and people get lost in the sauce. In

67
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: the second quarter, folks, the Bears had a season high

68
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: in first downs. They ran through this Patriots defense in

69
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: a manner you don't normally see, folks. Patriots run defense

70
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: is good. I'll give you the numbers in a minute. Okay,

71
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: the Patriots run defense did wonders? Go ask Nick Chubb

72
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: about the Patriots run defense. The Browns ran for seventy yards.

73
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: Go ask the Miami Dolphins and the opener they ran

74
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: for sixty five yards, the Steelers nine yards. The Bears

75
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: rushes two hundred and forty three yards, Like, wow, who

76
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: saw that coming? Two forty three yards? Uh? This is

77
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: one of them. So this week alone in the NFL

78
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: was crazy, and this season has been bonkers, and we're

79
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: only approaching weekend. But this past weekend, Aaron Rodgers loses

80
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: on the road in Washington, third straight loss. That's the

81
00:04:55,480 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: first time that's happened. Under the floor. Tom Brady loses

82
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: back to back weeks as a huge favorite against the

83
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: tanking Carolina Panthers starting a four string quarterback. Those two

84
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,239
Speaker 1: alone are just like what the hell? And the capper

85
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: is Belichick at home as a big favorite gets his

86
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: teeth kicked in by Justin Fields in the Chicago Bears.

87
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: And I know what you're gonna say, Jason. The running

88
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: quarterbacks they give they give Belichick a lot of problems. Yes,

89
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: that's true. Lamar Jackson and the Ravens rushed for a

90
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: buck eight eight. But how do you explain the Packers

91
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: rushing for yards? I don't I don't have an answer.

92
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: I have no answers. But the Patriots run defense has

93
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: been feaster fam and they give up add eight to

94
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: the Ravens the Packers to forty three to the Bears,

95
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: and in the other four games they didn't really give

96
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: up much. I have no idea what happened in that game,

97
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: Absolutely no clue. I mean it is some of these

98
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: numbers are just crazy. So I took notes during the

99
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: game because I'm thinking like, Oh, it's gonna be good, Like, yeah,

100
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: Patriots are gonna win. Oh they're gonna cover. I bet

101
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: on them, had them in both the survivor leagues. I oh,

102
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: my gosh, you know, it's so crazy. I didn't even

103
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: look at Fantasy last night because both my games are done,

104
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: and I'm like, it's fine, there's I've got these locked up.

105
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: I did end up getting a win, but it's like

106
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: I started Patriots defense, I started Nick Folk. It was like, dude,

107
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: what this game was one of the more bizarre results

108
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: to me of the NFL season. I saw this. There

109
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: were six fumbles in Patriots Bears. The Chicago Bears are

110
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: covered all of them. Every fumble went to the Bears.

111
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: How does that happen? This is just stop my night, guys.

112
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: It was not the Bears. The Chicago Bears who could

113
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: do nothing in the red zone against Washington. You remember

114
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: that game last Thursday or was it two thursdays to go,

115
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: whatever it was. They did nothing in the red zone

116
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: against Washington. Total implosion. Against the Patriots, the Bears scored

117
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: on at one point five straight possessions. Justin fields all

118
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: just talking about well is justin fields? The guy? What

119
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: is Justin Fields. Justin Fields just carved up a Belichick defense.

120
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: I mean there were dudes running wide open who I've

121
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: never heard of. Let me let me just call up

122
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: real quick humor me, guys, let me call up the

123
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: box score. I'll read off some of the names of

124
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: guys that caught passes. Are you ready? Darnell Moon, you

125
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: know him? Three for fifty three, Equanimius st Brown, four,

126
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: Cole commit Kale Cole whatever, two for thirty two, nikkil

127
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: Harry remember him? One for fourteen yards? Are Griffin Ryan?

128
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: Griffin tight end? I'm not familiar with his work. He

129
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: had a catch, they emptied the kitchen, said Dante Pettis.

130
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: I didn't even know who was still in the league.

131
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: Had a catch. Callil Herbert had a touchdown catch on

132
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: what was fields best throw? I mean it was a

133
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: really nice sidestep moved by fields and bottom line, the

134
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: Bears were in there now three and four, the Icago Bears,

135
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: of the same record as the Green Bay Packers, stunning

136
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: Patriots back to the cellar in the a f C

137
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: East at three and four, and truth be told, the

138
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: Jets can go for the kill shot on Belichick. Sunday

139
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: at home Okay, yes, that is a real thing. The

140
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: Patriots season, it'll be over. I mean, that's not exaggeration,

141
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: that's not hyperbole. I actually spent the time last night

142
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: looking at the Patriots. Colt you ready. So they play

143
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 1: the Jets. If they lose that, there'll be three and five.

144
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: There's no chance to catch the Bills, and getting the

145
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: wild card will be near impossible to have to pass

146
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: Miami and the Jets. They have games remaining against Minnesota.

147
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: We'll call that a loss Buffalo twice. We'll give that

148
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: two losses at Arizona, who knows, Vegas no telling Joe Burrow.

149
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and say Joe Burrow wins that game.

150
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: And then Miami, which has owned the Patriots in recent years.

151
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: So if you're giving them the two losses to Buffalo,

152
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: one to Miami, one to Borrow, one in Minnesota, and

153
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: this one to the Jets, that puts them in ten losses,

154
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: seven and ten. No freaking shot, no shot none. What

155
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: are the odds that? I mean, you could not have

156
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: placed the bet. But before the season, if I told

157
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 1: you Aaron Rodgers will miss the playoffs, Tom Brady and

158
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: the Bucks will miss the playoffs, Bill Belichick will miss

159
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs and oh, by the way, Matt Jones might

160
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: be supplanted. Might I have to say might? I'll tell

161
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: you why a second by Bailey Zappy in a quarterback

162
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: controversy on a team with a losing record. I mean no,

163
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: you would have said, what planic did you come here from? Jason,

164
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: because like, what are you dreaming? Are you doing aahuasco

165
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers? And I say there could be a

166
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: quarterback controversy for one simple reason. So after the game,

167
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: remember Matt Jones was pulled after I believe it was

168
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: two possessions. They went three and out and then they

169
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,479
Speaker 1: got a couple of first downs and then the interception. Okay,

170
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: after the game, Troy Aikman when asked, so, what do

171
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: you think the move is? And Troy Aikman says, well,

172
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: there's no question Bill Belichick is gonna go back to

173
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: his guy, Mac Jones. And I'm sitting here like, wait,

174
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: come again, what Mac Jones really the guy who it

175
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: was pulled for inactivity and a bad interception early? What?

176
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: So now they go into Jets week, Remember Mac Jones said, oh,

177
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: I'm sorry it was punt punt interception? For mac Jones

178
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: punt punt interception, so we got three drives. Bailey Zappy

179
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: played the rest of the game, and oh, by the way,

180
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: through two interceptions late in the game and Matt Jones.

181
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: Belichick said at halftime, we're gonna see both quarterbacks in

182
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: the second half? Did mac Jones said he didn't want

183
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,359
Speaker 1: to go in what's going on here? Belichick has some problems.

189
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: it's Belichick. He's a genius. I don't know, Guys, starting

190
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: to get a little worried about the Patriots here. And

191
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, I don't like the Patriots, but they cost

192
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: me a survivor, so I will roote against them for

193
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. But I was already gonna

194
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: do that anyway. So it's you know, it is what

195
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: it is. But it's just a stunning, stunning Monday night football.

196
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: And listen, it was a big Monday in the NFL.

197
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: All told. We'll get to the other stories. First one

198
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: final note, I don't totally know what Belichick's game plan was,

199
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 1: but based on mac jones body language and I'm not

200
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: body language guy, but I am being body language guy

201
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: for a sec when you just looked at him, Matt Jones,

202
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: it felt like it's over. But now he can go

203
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,599
Speaker 1: into practice and try to make the case return of

204
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: the Mac baby. Mac Jones comes back to quarterback. Now.

205
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what politics gonna do. Is probably gonna

206
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: try to keep the Jets guessing that that's a smart

207
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: move and not show his hand. But the Jets, the

208
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 1: Jets know what the deal is with Zappy. He had

209
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: a couple of passes batted down near the line of scrimmage,

210
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: and let's be realistic, on the bomb to Jacoby Myers,

211
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: it was a terribly thrown past. Jacoby Myers was super

212
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: wide open. Um. I don't want to say Bailey's happy.

213
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: Is a great quarterback. I thought in the moment, oh,

214
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: he gives him a good chance to win. But after

215
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: those two drives, he did not look particularly good. And

216
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: special teams was a disaster for the Patriots. The punts

217
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: were I mean, I don't even know, I don't even

218
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: know who their punter is, but he he was not

219
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: good at all. Um, yeah it Jay Bailey is his name. Um,

220
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: that could be a huge edge. Jacob Bailey kid out

221
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: of Stanford could be a huge edge for the Jets

222
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: in Sunday's meeting. All right, two A couple other notes

223
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: for I get to um a quarterback situation in the NFL.

224
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 1: Number one. So it was announced on Monday that the

225
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: Jets star rookie running back Breeze Hall done for the season.

226
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: A c L kind of stinks, find doesn't kind of stink.

227
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: It's awful news. I didn't cry, but I was very sad. Um.

228
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: It was disappointing. It felt for a moment like, well,

229
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 1: I don't know what the Jets can do? And then

230
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: I started spit bawling on social media. What what can

231
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: the Jets do? Who who's out there today? Make a

232
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: trade for speculation, Kareem Hunt? You know, uh, maybe they

233
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: make a move for James Robinson of the Jaguars who

234
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: had kind of been benched there for Travis E t N.

235
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: And there were you know, there were legitimate names that

236
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: we were tossing out on Twitter. What the Jets could do?

237
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake who's kind of buried behind the gust bus

238
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: now and cree Hunt was because you know, he's an

239
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: understricted free agent after this season, and the Browns desperate

240
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: for draft picks after giving up all of them for

241
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. So it's like work at the Jets go

242
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: and literally two hours later, the Jets traded for James

243
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: Robinson of the Jaguars. If you remember, Robinson was the

244
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: offensive rookie of the year, he was phenomenal a few

245
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: years back. He had an achilles injury last year, and

246
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: then you know, Urban Meyer drafted Travis e t N

247
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: and e t Ns looked really good and explosive, although

248
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: near the goal line he's a disaster. He had a

249
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: drop against Washington the cost me money in Week one,

250
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: yes I remember it, and then he had a fumble

251
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: at the goal line against the Giants on Sunday. That

252
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: being said, James Robinson's gone and all they got was

253
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: a six that could bump up to a fifth based

254
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: on playing time. That to me is a definite signal

255
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: that the Jets are not just because Hall's done and oh,

256
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: by the way, Elijah Vera Tucker their best remaining offensive lineman.

257
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: He's done with a torn tricep. The Jets are walking wounded,

258
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: but I like that they're not link, you know, They're

259
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: not like, you know what. We're just gonna play it

260
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: out and see what happens. They have, according to football Outsiders,

261
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: the toughest remaining schedule in the NFL. Not ideal, but

262
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: they still trade for Robinson. They'll rotate Robinson. Ty Johnson

263
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: will be the number three guy, obviously, Michael Carter the

264
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: number two. Listen, Robinson has looked good when I've seen

265
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: him with the Jags. Had a big touchdown run that

266
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: helped me win some money. Um a few weeks back.

267
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: I like the kid I was against the Chargers. I

268
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: believe UM. I would expect Robinson to get in the

269
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: building this week and be I don't know about heavily involved,

270
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: but I would guarantee he's gonna have more staffs than

271
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, who was I think traded Thursday night and

272
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: play still was able to play Sunday. So that's a

273
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: big move for the Jets. Now. The other question is

274
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: what do you do with the offensive line again. Elijah

275
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: Vera Tucker played college tackle college guard in the NFL.

276
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: He started guard, played tackle this year. He's been tremendous.

277
00:15:55,720 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: It's a huge loss. And you listen, the Jets are

278
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: gonna I know it's gonna sound crazy. They're gonna need

279
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: Elijah More to get his ass on the field. They're

280
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: gonna even suck it up, stop being a baby, stop pounding.

281
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: And I've told the story to a lot of people.

282
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've told it on the on

283
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: the podcast, but you know, we're all in positions where

284
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: things are going great, and you know, it's easy to

285
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: be on top when things are going great, and then

286
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: you get hit with adversity and life can go two ways.

287
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: You can go in the tank and be sour and

288
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: it can ruin you and send you into a downward spiral,

289
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: or you can just take it and just be like,

290
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: you know what, not like I'm not gonna let this

291
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: freaking stop me. I got a lot left to prove

292
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: and you can try to kick some mass. And that's

293
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: happened to all of us. It's happened to me. It

294
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: happened to me at Fox. You know, I was on

295
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: a daily TV show. I kind of got sort of

296
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: rubbed out by an egomaniac and I could have pouted,

297
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: and I decided, you know what, I'm valuable here. I

298
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: could do tons of stuff. I went on every show,

299
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: I did digital stuff, started to do more gambling, and

300
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: next thing, you know, three years later, I find myself

301
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: back on our show two contracts later, and the guy

302
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: that rubbed me out is long gone from sports. And

303
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: you know, it just shows like if you want to

304
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: give up and throw in the towel, you can, and

305
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: that's Elijah Moore is well within his rights to do that.

306
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: But dude, if you suck it up, I guarantee you

307
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: there are gonna be opportunities for Elijah More to make

308
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: a lot happen with the Jets here in the coming weeks.

309
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: If you watch that Bears Patriots game, the Patriots front

310
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,719
Speaker 1: seven is slow as molasses. Their linebackers do not move quickly,

311
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: and the Bears were able to get some end arounds.

312
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: Herbert on the outside. I'm just listen, There's gonna be

313
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: opportunities for Elijah Moore, Braxton Barrios. I would expect a

314
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: couple of gimmick plays from the flour. This is is

315
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: a Patriots defense. We don't you don't know what you're

316
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: gonna get First of all, this they're not playing the Lions.

317
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that this Jet, this Jets defense will

318
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: come to play. The Jets offense will be creative. I'm

319
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: not ready to calling out right Jets victory, not yet

320
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: at least, but I think it'll be It'll be spicy.

321
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: And now onto the bigger NFL news, which was absolutely stunning.

322
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: It actually hit while we were on the herd on Monday.

323
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in

324

Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox sports

325

Speaker 1: Radio dot com and within the I Heart Radio app

326
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 1: search f s R to listen live. Indianapolis Colts, who

327
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: spent a lot of money on Matt Ryan and who

328
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: guaranteed him twelve million dollars next season, Yes, twelve million guaranteed.

329
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: They announced he had his shoulder injury and he was

330
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: getting benched. Now is he benched for the injury or

331
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: is he bench bench? And then Frank Greig followed up

332
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: and said, we anticipate sam Linger being our quarterback for

333
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: the rest of the season, and that was, oh, you

334
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: know that head exploding emoji. They just bypassed Nick Foles

335
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: right past him, and I think the reasons are obvious.

336
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: Nick Foles is a statue like Matt Ryan. The Colts

337
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: offensive line has been a disaster. They I think it

338
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: was two or three years ago they had a good

339
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: offensive line and then the left tackle I think his

340
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: name was Costanzo got injured and they never were able

341
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: to find a replacement for him, and the Colt's offensive

342
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: line has been dreadful ever since. Matt Ryan most sacks

343
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 1: in the league, I think he's tied for the league

344
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: guy as a result, under pressure all the time. Lad

345
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: the league in in turnovers, and you really gotta wonder

346
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: if that game against Jacksonville where he threw I think

347
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: it was thirty seven times in the first half and

348
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: ended up with like fifty eight pass attempts, it was

349
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: just like that, that was it, that was his last stand,

350
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: and he basically threw his arms shot. He looked totally

351
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: like a shot fighter against the Titans. Terrible turnovers. So

352
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: what do you do with Sam Ellinger? Well, any college

353
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: football fans, No, Ellinger was a Tim Tebow like machine

354
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: at the University of Texas. One of these guys who

355
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: was a gamer, who's a winner. He's clutched all these

356
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 1: unquantifiable metrics and folks I don't actually think this is

357
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: that bunch of a downgrade from Matt Ryan because he's

358
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: been that bad and the offensive line has been that bad.

359
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: So basically, you now have, instead of a statue in

360
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: the pocket who you can tee off on, you've got

361
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: a mobile quarterback so you can come after him. But

362
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: Ellenor is gonna escape some blitzes and make you think

363
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: twice about blitzing biggest folks. He can move, and he's

364
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: a tough kid. I think he's a good I listen.

365
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't say it's an upgrade because

366
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 1: we haven't seen Ellinger. Although you know some of these stats.

367
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: Guys were like, oh, Ellengor was great in the preseason, Like,

368
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: let's settle down. Okay, it's a preseason. Nobody plays in

369
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: the preseason anymore. I do I do. I do believe

370
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: the culture gonna be an interesting team to bet kind

371
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: of on. Like are they going to run some read option?

372
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: That was just something that was out of out of

373
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: play with Matt Ryan, he couldn't run no read option?

374
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 1: Do they do some of that? Do they do some

375
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: wildcat with Ellinger and Jonathan Taylor? I don't know, We'll

376
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: see they become kind of more interesting without Matt Ryan,

377
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: who looked like he frankly against the Titans. I mean

378
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: he kind of at at points it looked like he

379
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: was shaving points and I'm not. I'm not saying he was,

380
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: but it was he was that bad that you're like,

381
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, this is the hell's going on here.

382
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: So he's done. Ellinger's now in a quarterback and you

383
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 1: have to wonder Tennessee Tennessee Titans lead the division. Excuse me,

384
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans lead the division. Jacksonville can't get out of

385
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: their own way that Texans are a disaster? You know.

386
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: Can Ellinger put something together a Tebow like run member

387
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: Tebow with the Broncos and they make I don't know,

388
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: but Tennessee nobody likes him. None of the numbers like them.

389
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: Football outsiders don't like them. Yet they just keep winning

390
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 1: games in this rancid division. So you know, ultimately, I

391
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: think this is good for good for my Jets to

392
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: have a shot to make the playoffs. I know it's

393
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: a long shot, but roll with me. Remember, and I've

394
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: talked to Mark Sanchez about this at Fox. The Jets

395
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: with Sanchez and Rex Ryan are basically a carbon copy

396
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: with Robert Sala and Zach Wilson. You've got a quarterback

397
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: that you drafted in the top ten. You've got a

398
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 1: defensive minded coach who wants to win with defense, special teams,

399
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: and we run the football. That's what the Jets have

400
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: been doing. That's how they're five and two, and that's

401
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: what marks interested. Now. The interesting thing was they end

402
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: up getting to the playoffs, and all of a sudden

403
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: they were even more dangerous in the playoffs. I remember

404
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: the first year they went to Cincinnati and stunned the

405
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 1: Bengals and oh, I can't believe, I forgot who they've

406
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: beaten around two, but I do know they ended up

407
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: losing the a f C title game. Uh. That year

408
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: they got destroyed by the Colts in the a f

409
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: C title game. Um, but I remember that San Diego

410
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: game like it was yesterday. The Chargers were in San

411
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: Diego and they ran all over them and the defense

412
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: just suffocated. Yeah, there it is the Jets. Uh. Their

413
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: first playoff when I'm sorry, it was against the Bengals.

414
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: They beat the Bengals member Andy Dalton and um, what's

415
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: his name? Uh? Uh Marvin Lewis so Jets smacked them

416
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: around in the first game. Second game they rushed for

417
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: a hundred sixty nine yards and and beat the Charger

418
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: seventeen fourteen. Then they got smacked around by the Colts

419
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: thirties seventeen. Now they briefly I think led that game

420
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: in the first half. Um, but it kind of fell

421
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: apart after that. Manning picked him apart and the Jets

422
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: road deep opponent turnovers to get to the a C

423
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: title game. The following year, the Jets go and this

424
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: was the best run. I haven't talked to Sanchez in

425
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: depth about this, but maybe I'll have him on the

426
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 1: podcast and we'll relive that. Um, how about this next week,

427
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: I'll try to make that happen. So the Jets in

428
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: go to the Colts and Peyton Manning. This was a

429
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: year after they went to the n f C title

430
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: game win seventeen sixteen. Ground in Pound rushed for a

431
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty nine yards and the touchdown, and they

432
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: stunned Peyton Manning late field goal. Sanchez made a couple

433
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: of throwers on the final drive. I think Braylon Edwards

434
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: caught a key pass on that final drive for the

435
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: game winning field goal, and the Jets advanced to go

436
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: to the Patriots, where they won one defense was incredible.

437
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: Sean Green had a memorable run where he slid into

438
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: the end zone and then laid down with his hand

439
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: on his shoulder. Uh, it was I was young Jason,

440
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: who I think my son was close to. Yeah, my

441
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: son was born a couple of months after that, and

442
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,479
Speaker 1: it was just total bedlambon chaos in my house. I

443
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 1: was just freaking out. Uh. We were in Pennsylvania at

444
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: the time. I'll never forget because it's like January in Pennsylvania.

445
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: Got the fireplace lit and it was just joyous. So

446
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 1: then my buddy had a Super Bowl party for Jets Steelers,

447
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: and unfortunately, I remember there was a lot of um

448
00:24:55,400 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: uh pharmaceuticals being smoked at that event. And the gets

449
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: fell into a deep, deep hole. I think it was

450
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: might have been twenty four nothing And they come back,

451
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: Sanchez and Santonio Holmes epic come back. I'm like biting

452
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: my nails. I'm like I might have to I might

453
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: be going to the Super Bowl. We can pull this off.

454
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: And then Ben Roethlisberger has the ball. All they need

455
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: is one stop and they cannot get it he got

456
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: like three or four first downs is devastating. Jets lose

457
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: and um and that was it. They never recovered after that,

458
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: and they haven't been back to the playoffs since two

459
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: thousand eleven. Um, it's pretty wild, folks, um how long

460
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: it has been since the Jets have been to the playoffs.

461
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 1: But I spent way too much time on the Jets. Quickly,

462
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: I just want to crowbar in some NBA here because

463
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: I have some notes. So the Nets lose again. I know,

464
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 1: we don't really care about the Nets. They are They're

465
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: gonna be a subplot soon enough, when the implosion officially happens,

466
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 1: Like everybody, all we're waiting for with the Nets now

467
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: is Kyrie irving to lose his stuff and and freak

468
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: out and and go off, go off the chain and

469
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: be like I'm going ham, I need some time off.

470
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: They lose two John Morant and the grizz and you know,

471
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: Kyrie and Katie has good games. Ben Duran Ben Simmons

472
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: fouled out again. Ben Simmons has played three games with

473
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: the Nets. He has seventeen points, fourteen fouls and two

474
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: foul outs. The Nets are one and two and do

475
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: not look good in other news, just quickly through the association.

476
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,719
Speaker 1: I won't do this on every pod, but I kind

477
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: of feel like I had to. So the Rockets get

478
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: their first win beat the previously undefeated Jazz, and there

479
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: was a there's a video clip on social going around

480
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: last night. The number one pick of the Rockets, Jabari Smith,

481
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: is on the bench getting in some heated discussion with

482
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: Jalen Green and at one point Jabari Smith like steps

483
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: up like he's ready to swing on him. It was like,

484
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: what is going on? And this is when they're winning

485
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 1: late in the game. It's like, what the hell the Rockets?

486
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: They are young, um young, dumb, full of you know,

487
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: you guys have seen that movie. Um Celtics gets smacked

488
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: by the Bulls. And I think the other game I

489
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about, and this only applies to Lakers fans,

490
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Timberwolves somehow get trucked by the Spurs. The Spurs,

491
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: the tanking Spurs lost their opener to Charlotte. Remember I

492
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: made fun of them on this podcast. Since then, they've

493
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: won three straight. So the tanking Spurs, who want Victor

494
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 1: oneban Yama the same way they tank to get Tim

495
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: Duncan suddenly find themselves three and one and you're like, oh,

496
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: what do we want this? And don't even tell me

497
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: for a second they want this. I am a thousand

498
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: percent sure, not sourced, just a thousand percent sure based on, like,

499
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: you know, obviousness that the Spurs do not want to

500
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: try to get to the play in. The Spurs do

501
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: not care about the eighth seed. They want Victor one

502
00:27:55,800 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: Banyama and to do that maybe because they if they

503
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: don't have like a great player, they've got a bunch

504
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 1: of good players. Do the Spurs consider trading away Keldon

505
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: Johnson take them off our hands. I don't know about

506
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: Devin Vassell. He he has feast for famine. This guy

507
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: will hit five threes or over nine from dep Josh

508
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: Primo was a young, energetic guy. I really like a lot.

509
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: He's super young. Though. I don't think the Lakers would

510
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: have to give up both picks for a deal with

511
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 1: the Spurs, for a deal with the Pacers for Turner

512
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: and Heeled. I think they would, But then again, do

513
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: you even want the Spurs guys? Is that even worth it?

514
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: I mean, if they said, hey, you know, we'll give

515
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: you I don't I think the salaries have to match.

516
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: So Doug McDermott Lakers, I don't. I don't know what

517
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: if he would even play. He's like, you know, a

518
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: slower Austin Reeves. Um, you know Kelton Johnson, Josh Primo, Like,

519
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: there is probably some Spurs package to be had where

520
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: the Lakers are interested, but you really only have one

521
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: shot with the draft picks. Is there a way they

522
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: split the baby and do one pick to the Spurs

523
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: and then another pick to another team. I don't see

524
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: that as as feasible. I don't even know which one

525
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: is more desirable, considering the Lakers in are gonna be

526
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: garbage anyway with Lebron retired unless somebody shows up there.

527
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: So I would keep an eye on teams like the Spurs,

528
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: teams like the Pacers. Now, the Pacers did lose to

529
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: the Sixers, but honestly, the way the Lakers have started

530
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: oh and three for me and Buddy Hill has not

531
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: played great. Um Miles Turner has an ankle, sprain did

532
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: not play. Ben Matherin looks awesome the rookie out of Arizona.

533
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: But I digressed Pacers are one in three. They want

534
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: to be aggressively bad to enhance their chances at that

535
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: at Victor wm Binyama. Now I will point out tonight

536
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: Warriors Phoenix kind of a good game. That's a seven

537
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: Pacific on t nt UM and the Lakers don't play

538
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: again until August. I'm sorry, October, and listen. If the

539
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: Lakers dropped to Owen four, I I don't see how

540
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: this is not deaf Con three or a def Con

541
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: two maybe for the Lakers, because if you lose this

542
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: game to Denver, and Denver did not look good last

543
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: night against Portland, you're now owing four in what is

544
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: perceived to be a deep West. After Denver, you gotta

545
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: go to Minnesota. Yeah, it could be oh in five.

546
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: Like at some point the Lakers are gonna have to

547
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: stack some wins here, folks. It ain't looking good. They're

548
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: gonna need Turner and Heeled sooner than later. I think

549
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,959
Speaker 1: you pull the trigger on that Pacers deal. I saw

550
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: something about Terry Rogier. I don't know what that's all about.

551
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: Rogier and um Gordon Hayward. I don't see how that's

552
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: more attractive then Healed and Turner. But I guess you've

553
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: gotta gotta weigh all of the aspects, and yes, Charlotte

554
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: would love to pell pair LaMelo Ball and Victor Wee

555
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: Banyama Holy Call, or even Scoot Henderson and LaMelo Ball.

556
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: That's all for today. We'll be back tomorrow. Talk to

557
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: you then,
