Yes, 6 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: it is the Friday morning after Thanksgiving and we have 7 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:30,479 Speaker 1: gathered here in the rented garage, usually the spot of 8 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: the throwback podcast that I do with my buddy bobcast 9 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: show and my bosom buddy. But once again on Thursday 10 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: night games, we keep the tradition of doing it here 11 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: in the garage. Little Chili. I got the space heater on. 12 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: If you hear a minor hum in the background, that's 13 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: because it it dipped into the thirties in l A 14 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: last night and it feels good. Actually, I like that 15 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: it was It reminded me being back in the Northeast. 16 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: Were East coast guys, and uh it's I love anything 17 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,040 Speaker 1: that veers toward autumnal winter seasons. And I know we 18 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: don't have a lot to complain about with the weather here, 19 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 1: but this was a chilly evening into morning. No quid 20 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: pro quo, no global warming, um Okay, let's go down 21 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 1: that red. Save it for the political podcast. All right, 22 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: So yes, three games that Thanksgiving and what we're gonna do. 23 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: It's essentially a UM. It's like a supersized mini pod. 24 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: So we're just gonna talk about the three games, um 25 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: that we're played. UM. The first game went basically the 26 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: way we expected, with little hiccups along the way for 27 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: the winning team. The second game kind of rearranged some 28 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: feelings about two different teams, and then the last game 29 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: a little bit of a blur. I I wasn't drinking. 30 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: I'd agree with you. I tied it on a little 31 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: bit at the NFL media Wednesday night gathering. Right, you're 32 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: in the Howard Hughes phase of your life now where 33 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: we can't get you to go out anywhere anywhere, so 34 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: you missed it. But it was a nice gathering and 35 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: I definitely hit the Tito's a little harder than I 36 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: should have and that affected you not for the first 37 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: two games the next day, but the but the final game. 38 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: That's I mean, what I was saying was that it 39 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: was a little, um, a little blurry the third game, 40 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: not because of drinking on Thanksgiving, but because just eate 41 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: too much food. It's it's also you know, it's it's 42 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: a long it's a long day of football if you're 43 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: tracking those games. And I wouldn't say it. I'm in 44 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: the Howard Hughes phase. Uh. Your fingernails right now, by 45 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: the way, for the listeners are each seventeen inches long. 46 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 1: I am. I'm not. I'm not going out as much 47 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 1: as I used to, which I miss. What I'm really 48 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: trying to do is get you just to feel my 49 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: absence and and and and have that effect your your 50 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: relationship with me. I don't know what I'm talking about. This, 51 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: this is what you got to be careful with though, 52 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: in this new phase of your life. Yeah, that people 53 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: get used to your absence and then you just drift away. Yep. 54 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: Then I'm gone and you're just wandering the streets. I 55 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: think what you need to do is make the surprise appearance, 56 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: which I will do. I didn't know I had you 57 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: gone to Cozy, I would have done what I normally do. 58 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: It from the house is play. You can actually manipulate 59 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: the Cozy jukebox from my house over an app and 60 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: I believe once played It's Raining Men times in a row. 61 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: I could have pulled that. Would that have been your 62 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: choice again had we been at the cozy? It's always 63 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: the choice we did. Uh, there was a listener that 64 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: spotted us. We had the whole gang there, Colleen Gonzo, 65 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: Brassy in the house, Ricky Hollywood, Cynthia Freeland. I believe 66 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: Cynthia Freeland. I guilted her into coming, Eddie Spaghetti and 67 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: his wonderful girlfriend. Uh, the whole gang was there. Uh. 68 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: Who else was there? Thomas Warren, our buddy, Lakisha of course, 69 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: and West and Lukisha did get her hamburger at Hanano's 70 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: at the end of the night, as she will she deserves. 71 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: So it was a great, a great gathering and then 72 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: a lot of football and a lot of Thanksgiving. Ten 73 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: people in the house. I fried a turkey, Uh in 74 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: this garage. I believe you didn't. I don't. And I 75 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: was concerned that I would be smelling um fried meat products, 76 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: and I don't. There's no trace of that. Yeah, we 77 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: kept the garage door cracked open yesterday while that was 78 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: going on. But there's also a little burn mark in 79 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: my rug that will forever memorial analyize um yesterday's activities. 80 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: But anyway, enough about that great holiday. But now we 81 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: spin forward. The season doesn't begin until after Thanksgiving. So 82 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: these games I guess in account. But let's get into 83 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: them anyway, and let's let's not go in order. Let's 84 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: start with the game that most people are talking about. 85 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: It is the middle game, uh in Big d The 86 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills looking to make a statement, and I think 87 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: they did. Five wide empty at the Dallas fifteen four 88 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: man fru shotgun staff, Alan lock left side, checks down, 89 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: he rubs, sprints, pumps, fifteen ten five till the ends 90 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: of nine, he's in touchdown Josh Allen his eighth rushing 91 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: score of a year, and with three thirty seven ago 92 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: in the third quarter, the Bills a domino twenty two 93 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: to seven edge. I'm the Cowboys Josh Allen, Wow, buddy. 94 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: Two touchdowns on Thanksgiving Day, including that rushing touchdown where 95 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: he's just you know, that was a man as you 96 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: put it on Twitter. I believe Mark So he scores twice, 97 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: doesn't throw an interception, plays clean football more than it 98 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: can be said for the Dallas Cowboys, who lay an 99 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: egg at home in a really important game for them. 100 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: Final score, Bills get the win, and it's an important 101 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: game for the Cowboys, and we're going to get to 102 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. But I think it's almost it's it's unfair 103 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,679 Speaker 1: because even when the Bills have this quote unquote statement 104 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: win that everyone's been saying, Oh, the Bills need to 105 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: be the team that matters after the game, and today, 106 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure everyone's just talking about the meltdown of the 107 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: Cowboys anyway. So let's start with the Bills and give 108 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,559 Speaker 1: them the respect they deserve. Because Mark, they fall behind 109 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: seven nothing in this game. Dallas makes it look easy, 110 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: and you know it was playing right into you and 111 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: I's locked selection. In fact, if I could pull up 112 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,679 Speaker 1: the tweet that you sent me, Mark, because we locked 113 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: up the Cowboys woolishly, um going into this game. Your 114 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: tweet after the first score was our lock is gonna 115 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: fly today, and I replied, when Jason witnessed scoring, it's 116 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 1: looking good. Wow, little Poppus asses Uh. And then what 117 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: happens The Bills score what unanswered points? Uh? And they 118 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: just cruise. So what was your thought, Mark, watching this 119 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: game unfold and seeing its spin away and the Bills 120 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: pull away, which nobody predicted. I thought that the defense 121 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: for Buffalo made a big difference they forced a couple 122 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: turnovers in Dallas Turner in Dallas territory of dak Prescott 123 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: and that you know, they the Bills have had a 124 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: tough time I thought all year closing drives with touchdowns, 125 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: and they got it done this time. And they just 126 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: simply seemed too And we talked about it, josh Alan 127 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: operating as a total raging man, that that that's how 128 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: it was in this game that he used his brute 129 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: power on the ground uh ten rushes for forty three 130 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: yards and in an awesome touchdown run too, and they 131 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: just kind of squeezed the life out of Dallas. And 132 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: you know, and I understand that the Cowboys are a 133 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: talent team both on offense and defense where you want 134 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: to look at these metrics, uh, they kind of rise 135 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: up to the top of the crop in both categories. 136 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: But by the end of the game, it was West 137 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: texting us saying, you know what, I'm kind of done 138 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: with the Cowboys because they they don't close games. And 139 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: that's why we're talking about them afterwards. Because of the 140 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: way that Joe's Jason Garrett and we talked about this 141 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: on our preview pod. I thought was totally out coached 142 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: by Sean McDermott and the Bills. This is a signature 143 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: win in their nine and three and I feel like 144 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: they are hidden away, couched away in Western New York 145 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: and no one talks about them. They played every single 146 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: game in a row at ten am Western West Coast time, 147 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: over and over. You don't see them on Prime time. 148 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: This was the kind of win where suddenly they are 149 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: on the radar because they dropped a massive death bomb 150 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: on the Cowboys. It was it's closed to a death 151 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: bond for Dallas. But somehow they're still in first place 152 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: at six and six and the NFC East. Yeah, if 153 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: you this was the story around the Bills that they had. 154 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: Um they had all these wins against teams that weren't 155 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: any good and uh, seven of their eight wins entering 156 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: Thursday were against teams with losing records. But we talked 157 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: about it on Thursday. The this was it. This was 158 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: the stage for the Bills after years and years of 159 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: one pm games that no one was paying attention to. 160 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: Everyone was gonna be watching this game and now they're 161 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: nine in three and not only are they now a 162 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: near lock for the postseason barring a complete clar lock Um. 163 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: You also don't forget about the AFC East because they 164 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: keep winning and they keep the pressure on the Pats 165 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: who have a lot of issues. And this is a 166 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: big thing to watch. I don't think anybody really is. 167 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: But they have the Texans this week New England. Uh, 168 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: they look like a team with their issues on offense 169 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: that would potentially go into a slump. And then that 170 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: leaves the door wide open. Uh for the Bills. Do 171 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: they have They play each other, and they played each 172 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 1: other in week sixteen, and after that Texans game for 173 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: New England, New England has to play the Chiefs the 174 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: week after. Now then you get the Bengals and the 175 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: Dolphins in there. So it's a tall order to suggest 176 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 1: that the Bills could win the division. But it's not absurd. 177 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: It's not absurd, it's it's it's the fact that it's possible. 178 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: Here in December, is in early December. Is is fantastic. 179 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: And the Bills are one of the least reported on 180 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: teams in the NFL. And this has to be the 181 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: feel good operation in the entire league right now. And 182 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: they now get basically a half by ten days off 183 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: and they have the Ravens in Week fourteen. So I 184 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: I imagine there are people that will be out there 185 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: and be like, well, yes, they did win and this 186 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: was a nice win, but the Cowboys, it turns out, 187 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 1: aren't very good. Well that no one will be questioning 188 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: anything about the Bills if they go and play the 189 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: Ravens and somehow win that game. But we'll we'll get 190 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: to that down the road. As far as far as 191 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: the Cowboys go, the reason I locked them up, and 192 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: the reason I'm sure you did too, is just this 193 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: felt like the game where because they are or this 194 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,839 Speaker 1: is I'm going through my mind entering Thursday. They are 195 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: a good team. Maybe they're not a great team, but 196 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: they're a good team. And at home, after the owner 197 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: sounds off and kind of puts everybody on blast with 198 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 1: the talent that they have on offense, uh that they 199 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: would find a way to get this a win that 200 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: they needed and move forward and move past, because that's 201 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: kind of been a part of the story of the 202 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: Jason Garrett era, that just when it feels like the 203 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: walls are falling in, they get that big win to 204 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: get back on their feet, and in this case, they 205 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: did not, and after the game it's telling so you. 206 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: Of course, one of the best parts of Cowboys games 207 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: is the jerebox UH sweet shots. And it was getting 208 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: darker and darker and darker. And then by the end 209 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: of the game, when reporters catch up with him outside 210 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: the Cowboys locker room, he has tears in his eyes 211 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: talking about what's going on with the Cowboys. Let's listen 212 00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: to that. This is not the time for me. I'm 213 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: looking ahead at another ball game, and I'm looking ahead 214 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: it went in full or five straight, five straight and 215 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: helping write a story that they'll talk about that looks 216 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 1: like you were down and at and got it that 217 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: I made that. I mean that that's the way that 218 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 1: I'm operating every decision that I make over the next month, 219 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: well being with an and man to get us in 220 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: the Simple Bowl. Now, well, I think it's very clear 221 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: that the coaching change is coming. And you predicted that 222 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: as one of your post Thanksgiving Now that the league 223 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: now that the season matters um predictions, and and and 224 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: I suggested even after that that I thought it could 225 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: happen before week seventeen because of the way this team 226 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: UH operates and the fact that you're going to get 227 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: comments from Jerry Jones after every single game and in 228 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: all week long, and I honestly kind of felt for 229 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: for for Jason Garrett watching him on the sideline and 230 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: just the you know, he's one of these guys where 231 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: you can you can kind of read what's happening inside 232 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: on his face and I just seemed to be like 233 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: a man in pain. And they are lucky Dallas in 234 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: you know, I'm tweeted this out that the NFC East 235 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: is doubling right now, is like a youth hostel for 236 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 1: small clowns, and it's it's a mess. So you could 237 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: still win that division. You want have about the Bills 238 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: winning the East In the a f C, the Cowboys 239 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,479 Speaker 1: could still win that division because the Eagles are punchless 240 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: and have their own issues too. But the overall direction 241 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: and the inability to play up to the roster's talent 242 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: is ominous. And I think we're looking at the final 243 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 1: few games of Jason Garrett, who's been there for so long. 244 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: And the problem is the b line with Jason Garrett, 245 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: the in game coaching decisions, uh, the late game crumblings 246 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: that's been consistent with him throughout, and there was you know, 247 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: they were they were I think what they were trying 248 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: to do, if you're Jason Gerett, was be more aggressive 249 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: and show I'm not going to be this hyper conservative coach. 250 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: They went forward on fourth down inside the ten yard 251 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: line against Buffalo and it was an incomplete passed by 252 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: Deak Prescott. Was a killer play for them, and they 253 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: you know, they tried to do certain things that you 254 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: would expect, maybe like a John Harbor of John Harbor, 255 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: and it didn't work out because and that's on the players, 256 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: that's not all on Jason Garrett. But the Cowboys to 257 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: me are a one and done if they get into 258 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: the playoffs, they're just they're not They're not living up 259 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: to their talent. And I thought they did a better 260 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: job of that last year than this year. Yeah, that 261 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: it won't be good enough just to make the playoffs 262 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: and go one and done it. And now that we're 263 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: getting down to the nitty gritty as it were, Um, 264 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: I don't know what that means really, but I use 265 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: the expression. I think that's from a time when men 266 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: were doing a little bit more man work than we 267 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,719 Speaker 1: do work, you mean podcasting and a girl. I don't 268 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: think that nitty gritty is something that we deal with 269 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: on a day to day basis. Yes, now that we 270 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: have it's a smaller picture. We're not above the tree 271 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 1: tops anymore. To use some corporo jargon, they need to 272 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: essentially their six and six. They gotta go three and 273 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 1: one down the stretch. They gotta win the division and 274 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: then I think for Jason gard to keep his job, 275 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: they have to then win a wild card game. And 276 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 1: all of that. By the way, all that still feels 277 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 1: plausible because this team, when it's in its top gear, 278 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: can hang with a lot of teams. But also just 279 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: maybe it's just not gonna happen with this team and 280 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: maybe with this coach, and it's just time. We'll see. 281 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: They get the Bears, who are now six and six 282 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: at Soldier Field. Uh. I think it's a Sunday night 283 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: game that could go either way too, And I mean, 284 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: I'm with you. I just also, you win, so you 285 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: win a wild card game and get waxed in the 286 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: next playoff operation. Is that really a pro Jason Garrett moment. 287 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: I just I think it's just more of the same. 288 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: It's a Thursday night game. Actually, I should clarify that, 289 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: so that's say we'll be covering that game next week 290 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: and maybe that will game when we'll be tolling the 291 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: funeral bells for the Jason Garrett Art because they lose 292 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: that game, well, they'll still probably win the division. I 293 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: don't trust the Eagles to do anything. The Redskins and 294 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: Giants are already dead and buried. It's a messy division. 295 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: Um all right, let us now move to the first 296 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: game we watched. Uh so take it away, fourth down 297 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: play while surveys the defense play clock running down to 298 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: seven Now would Fox Law gets the snap, he's back 299 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: to throw. Blow is looking. Heats it up off his 300 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: back foot down the west side for Godaday, intercepted by 301 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: Eddie Jackson, will go down at the fourteen yard load 302 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: and Matt should ceiling. Eddie Jackson, who had to pick 303 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: six off Thanksgiving a year ago, pick that one off. 304 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: It should end the game. Bears will take over with 305 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: twenty nine seconds left on top by four. Eddie Jackson 306 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: seals the deal with an interception of David Blow. Did 307 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: we get it's Blow? David Blow? Not only do I 308 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: know his last name at this point, I would say 309 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: that I'm one of the biggest David Blow fans out there. 310 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: After whatever, I'm Actually there is a Kendall Freer from 311 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: a Yahoo our friend who used to work at the NFL. 312 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: She and I have anointed ourselves as co presidents of 313 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: the Blowhards, a fan club that will be releasing newsletters 314 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: monthly until no matter what happens to David Blouse's career. 315 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: Would this be happening if you didn't still have a 316 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: gardener Minshew root? Well, she was. She was a huge 317 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: Minshoovian and as as was I. And with him out 318 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: of the picture, we've quickly moved on to David Black. 319 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: Gotta wonder what the mins Humaniacs think about all this. 320 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: I think they would there's a similar energy with David 321 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: blow I would have loved had he, you know, sealed 322 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: the deal versus throwing that interception. All right, so Mark 323 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: has another subpart quarterback to pump up and we have 324 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: a bear win over the Lions. Um for all the 325 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: blow Hards out there, a very nice job. The first 326 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: pass in the NFL is a seventy five yard touchdown. Uh, 327 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: he got them. He had another throw scoring pass, so 328 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: he he played a really nice game all things considered. 329 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: He is a third string quarterback, though, and that started 330 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: to show as the game progressed and the Lions a 331 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: team that just has never found a found a way 332 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: to win this this year. Oh, I guess you could. 333 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: You weren't saying that when they were three one in 334 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: one or whatever. But it's just been kind of a 335 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: nightmare since they've lost eight of nine. And we'll see 336 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: what that means from Matt Patricia. Uh, Mitch Trobinsky was 337 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: the better quarterback on Thursday at Ford Field. He had 338 00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: his best game of the season. In fact, this was 339 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: the type of game, although imperfect, that the Bears kind 340 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: of thought they would get on a semi regular basis. 341 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: He threw for over three yards, He threw a top, 342 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: he threw three touchdowns. UM. He made some mistakes UM 343 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: an interception. He also had that puzzling third down scramble 344 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: at the end of the first half where he veered 345 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: left instead of going to for the first down. But 346 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: maybe his hip and his shoulder and all those injuries 347 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: playing into effect. I don't think we should be judging 348 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: the toughness of any man running towards two seventy five 349 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 1: linebackers trying to end his life. UM. But anyway, nice 350 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: job by Travisky. Really in general, I'll say this for Travisky, 351 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 1: and I think maybe the toothpaste is out of the 352 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 1: uh the old tube. Mark. You know I've been using 353 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: that one late. I just like it that work. I 354 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: don't know if the Bears can talk themselves into Trabinsky 355 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: after this year, but he is doing himself a favor 356 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: regardless with by trending upward in the last few weeks, 357 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: and maybe he could end in December hot as well, 358 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 1: because twenty nine thirty eight three thirty eight almost nine 359 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: yards and ten three touchdowns. The Lions are a bad, 360 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 1: bad defense and a quarterback, and even an average quarterback 361 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,239 Speaker 1: should be able to have his way. So this is 362 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 1: progress and the Bears. I'll have to check out where 363 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: we're at with the playoff picture, and I'll do that 364 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: when I throw it to you, Mark. But there's six 365 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: and six and at least they If you're a bearrass fan, 366 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: you're not gonna go into December with a dream. Well, 367 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: you mentioned they played the Cowboys and they also have 368 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: the Packers, Chiefs, and Vikings. So the road is, the 369 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: road is rough, The road is I hope you enjoyed. Yeah, 370 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: I mean it's just like that. That's that's The thing 371 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: for me is the overall arc of some of these teams. 372 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 1: It's nice when you get this win on the big 373 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: stage and everyone sees it. And Robinsky, you know, I 374 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: tweeted out like mid third quarter that Mitchell Robinsky is 375 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 1: a thing of the past, and I was proven wrong yesterday. 376 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 1: Now I don't know what that means overall, because getting 377 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: choked up because he thought he had Strabisky dead and buried, 378 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: and now he's talking about and playing a good game. 379 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 1: He he, he showed up a lot of yesterday, and 380 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: there was there were moments where I thought Matt Nigi 381 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: looked very steamed at Mitchell Robinsky at the end of 382 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: the first half, and that that was a talking point 383 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: in the broadcast to this is a team with the 384 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: highest percentage of three and ounce in the NFL, and 385 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: they've looked that way. But you got a big game 386 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: from Anthony Miller at wide receiver Allen Robinson. They haven't 387 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: really had their wide receiver show up consistently week after week. 388 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 1: That has a lot to do with the guy throwing 389 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 1: the passes. But they took care of Detroit, who tested 390 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 1: them more than you would want. And and if if 391 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,719 Speaker 1: I'm a Bears fan like I, I don't necessarily know 392 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: if this changes, uh the environment and what I think 393 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: about Mitchell Robinsky. Do you really go into next do 394 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: you want confirm it? Do you want to be confirmed 395 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 1: that this is your guy? And you go into next 396 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: season with the same problems? Is he growing? Is he changing? 397 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: It was a nice game against what has been a 398 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: pretty bad defense. He also had a terrible interception. Darius 399 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 1: Slay picked him off on a what I thought was 400 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: one of the one just a typical Mitchell Robinsky turnover 401 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: type scenario. Yeah, it wasn't a perfect game, but it 402 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: was progress. Yeah, that that's kind of what I'm getting at. 403 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 1: I wonder if there's if Trabinsky, no matter what happens, 404 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: if the Bears decide they have to bring somebody in 405 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,679 Speaker 1: at the very east, at the very least, you imagine 406 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: they'll look to upgrade over at Chase Daniel because one 407 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: of the big mistakes of this Bear season has been 408 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: they put themselves in a position where if Trabinsky didn't 409 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 1: work out, Chase Daniel is never really an option because 410 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: Chase Daniel is a sub standard backup quarterback with limited upside, 411 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 1: if any upside at all. So they kind of had 412 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: no choice but to ride with Trabinsky. Um but yeah, so, 413 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: I mean Traubinsky is gonna be the main storyline. You 414 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: give credit to the Bears defense for the first three 415 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: yard passing game all year, and that that's an outlier. 416 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: Like these quarterbacks are throwing yards, you know, in mediocre games, 417 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 1: and so I like, you're just not getting I just don't. 418 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: I don't really care sometimes about like you need the 419 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 1: game game to game production, and he's not. He's not 420 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 1: reliably doing that for the Bears. And that's a nice 421 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 1: performance yesterday, But come on, let's look at the overall 422 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: body of work. It's very concerning for a number two 423 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: overall pick. I would be stunned if he's there starting quarterback. 424 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: Couldn't you see maybe could you see Cam Newton in 425 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: a Bears uniform? I I just can And I feel 426 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: like he'd fit that team. I just someone that comes 427 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 1: in and gives them is a veteran that can give 428 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 1: you a little bit of a different operation than remember 429 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: the Carnival atmosphere about finding a kicker. Imagine what it's 430 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: gonna be like with the Bears and Ryan Pace and 431 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: Matt Naggie finding a quarterback that's gonna be a major storyline. Well, 432 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,199 Speaker 1: and I think because Ryan Pace picked Mitch Robinsky and 433 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 1: probably wants to see this to the very bitter end, 434 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 1: like you may not get a different quarterback, and he's 435 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: under a contract, he's under that rookie contract, and his 436 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: trade value probably isn't high. Maybe maybe he's a guy 437 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,880 Speaker 1: that gets floated and trade talks and and you can 438 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: get a mid to late round pick. I don't know, 439 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with the future of him. But 440 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: the Bears defense, which has shown signs of life the 441 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: last two weeks. They not that they were ever bad 442 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: this season, but they needed to be dominant like they 443 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: were at their best last year to help float this 444 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: bad offense. And they haven't been up to the task. 445 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: But they held the lines to just two field goals 446 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: in the last three quarters of this game. I did 447 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: have to ask you about what happened at halftime of 448 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: this game because that early Detroit Chicago or Detroit matchups 449 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: in general and Thanksgiving give you that halftime performance that 450 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 1: gets floated out. There is a big deal with typically 451 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 1: UH performers that you've never heard of or you're not 452 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 1: you wouldn't uh, you know, go out of your way 453 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: to watch. This was the Brothers Osborne. I felt for 454 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 1: them because, yeah, I'm not sure exactly what happened, but 455 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: there was like an electricity uh shortage or a blackout 456 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: right before they started to play. And the brothers Osborne, 457 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: one of them a typical lead singer looking guy, the 458 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: other a bearded fellow who plays guitar and sings. Also 459 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: yeah that I mean like they were stuck on stage 460 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: and the cameras did not veer away from them, They 461 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: just stuck on them and they had to stand there 462 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 1: and like deal with this a minute plus of energy shortage. 463 00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: And this the fake crowd that they put out around 464 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: the bands when they do these things, started just taking 465 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: They're real people, but they're very much a fake credit. 466 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: It's a very fake orchestrated crowd. But just the the 467 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: awkwardness level of that was I want to initially enjoyable 468 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 1: and then to me, Damna Jing. Yeah, the power outage 469 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: at halftime. I put that in terms of NFL Lord 470 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: just a bit of a bit ahead of Super I 471 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: just thought in terms of yes, in terms of the reach, 472 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 1: how people will remember it, um, how it will just 473 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: stick in people's minds. Is like one of those unforgettable 474 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: NFL moments. The Brothers Osborne power outage at the two 475 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions three eight and one versus Chicago Barys six 476 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: and sixty. I'll never forget it. They battled through, and 477 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: I'll give them that they because they did perform the song. Eventually. 478 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: Where was the power outage during the nickelback performance of 479 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 1: That's when we needed less electricity? All right? Anything else 480 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 1: on this game? No I I I come out of 481 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: here just very excited about the whole concept of David 482 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: Blow and I hope that he gets more starts than 483 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,919 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. Look out. Uh. And I did mention the 484 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: Bears defense Roquan Smith, he was the absolute star. Fifteen tackles, 485 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: ten solo, two sacks, two tackles for lost, two QB hits. 486 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, that's one of the best defensive games. Uh. 487 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: We'll see the season all right. Finally, UH, Thursday night 488 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: Football Thanksgiving Night. Uh in Atlanta, Pree receivers left one 489 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 1: of the right, Brian dropped Saints bring it five, pressure 490 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 1: and down goes Matt Ryan. The ninth second the game 491 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: for New Orleans and on a way for them to 492 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: clench this victory. Cameron Jordan gets yet another his fourth 493 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: of the game, his eight five of his career, and 494 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: the Saints are thirty eight seconds away from it winning 495 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: the NFC South Well, he's working against the rookie Cantall 496 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: Gary and it's a hand swipe. He knocks the hands away, 497 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: but Gary has no shot. Cam Jordan gets on his 498 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: edge and Matt Ryan is a sitting duck in the pocket. 499 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 1: Either have either have any time to find anyone down 500 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 1: the field. And the offensive line of the Falcons another 501 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: tough week. Cameron Jordan's have a day. The Pro Bowl 502 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: defensive end finished with four sacks one if I believe 503 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: nine in the game for the New Orleans Saints, who 504 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: had some issues with special teams down the stretch, they're 505 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: not recover an outside gig. My goodness, someone's gonna get fired. 506 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: But because of that incredible pass rush or that horrible 507 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: Atlanta offensive line or both, the Saints do hold on 508 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,360 Speaker 1: eighteen the final score and with the win. And this 509 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: is one of those things that a benchmark you with 510 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: any team would set when you could clinch it a 511 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: vision on Thanksgiving, you are doing a nice job. And 512 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,360 Speaker 1: that's what the Saints did there. The NFC the South 513 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: champions at ten and two in Atlanta, playing without Julio 514 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,479 Speaker 1: Jones who has a bum shoulder, who knows they might 515 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: shut him down, go to a j green route at 516 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: this point, Uh, they're three and nine. Mark, there's a 517 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: nice moment. Uh, nice night for your boy Taysom Hill 518 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: as well. Two touchdowns and you know that lock I 519 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: had where I said he'd get to seven is very 520 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: much in play. I believe it's five and uh it's 521 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 1: he Absolutely there's a shot because I think we're seeing 522 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: that Sean Payton loves his versatility and he also had 523 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,880 Speaker 1: a blocked punt. I mean, this guy kind of does 524 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: it all. He's sort of a Bill bella check in 525 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: dream like someone. Alright, you'll see what you're doing here, 526 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 1: Taysom Hill. That's America is gonna fall for you when 527 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: you when you want to, you know, drop a big 528 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 1: sandwich proposition on someone. You do it on a handsome 529 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: guy like Taysom Hill, who's a bit of a wild card, 530 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: does it all. Very nice performance by him. Do you 531 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: know there's also a fan group. I'm surprised because your 532 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,439 Speaker 1: your wager that that you wouldn't already be there, but 533 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,199 Speaker 1: I founded it with a handful of other women in 534 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: the New Orleans. Okay, on Taysom Hill, I like that. 535 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 1: I like that. I like last night what I tweeted 536 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: out was tasty Hill, because that's how I feel about 537 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,239 Speaker 1: this player. At this point, you're tweeting a lot last night. Well, 538 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,360 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, like there's no I had no 539 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,719 Speaker 1: no family families up there. So I'm home and like 540 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: I'm watching three straight games. Finger nails are extremely long. 541 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: My only way to communicate with humanity is filled with 542 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: a yellow liquid that's not game. You know, I'm really 543 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: wishing I I popped into that dot that Wednesday night 544 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: get together because this narrative is unfavorable for me. Should 545 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: have done it. But you were tweeting a lot and 546 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 1: Tasty Hills yet another gem from the Sessler account, tasty 547 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: Hill because he does it all and this I thought 548 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 1: the game kind of just sort of played. You said 549 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: it was a bit formless. I think you mentioned or well, no, 550 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: at the top of the show you mentioned that there 551 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: wasn't a lot to take out of it. I just 552 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: was like in a in a haze by the end 553 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: of a long holiday by. It was the perfect late 554 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: game because you know, outside of the Greg Rosenthal Um 555 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 1: Falcons fetish group, like there's just it kind of played 556 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 1: the script, I thought, the way that you'd expect in 557 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 1: The Saints are very much alive still for not just 558 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: a by but potentially the first overall seat in the 559 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: NFC if a couple of things go wrong for the 560 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: forty nine. New Orleans is right there. Can I just 561 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: say this though, I and I like the Saints a lot, 562 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: but I'm not like in love with how they're playing 563 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: the last three or four weeks. Now. They they're a 564 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 1: little bit, i don't know, a little messy, a little 565 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: not as sharp as you'd like their winning. They obviously 566 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: had that hiccup the last time they played the Falcons, uh, 567 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: and they've won every game since. But I'm not seeing 568 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: a team when you look at a team like the 569 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: Ravens or they're not doing that type of damage, And 570 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: I guess it makes you think it plants the seed 571 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: is of all right, Well, we got the San Francisco 572 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: forty Niners next week. Let's see if they can hang 573 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: in that game. I mean, I think the Saints can 574 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: hang with anybody. Yeah, but I think they just need 575 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: to be a lot sharper than they've been in recent weeks. 576 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: I think what I give them is and it kind 577 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: of reminds me a little bit of the Patriots, who 578 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: are not dominating people with blowouts and dropping forty burgers 579 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: on people. Is They've got Sean Payton, who is a 580 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: top two, top three coach in the league. And you know, 581 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: quarter whether Drew Brees has been in the lineup or not, 582 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: they've been in every game. But you're right, they're not. 583 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: They don't strike you as some sort of ruffian absolute 584 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: juggernaut that's gonna just take out anyone they can. The 585 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: Falcons hung around in this game, and the the onside 586 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: kick stuff was bizarre. I mean, for the win, but 587 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: he also he killed them with with miss p e t. 588 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: I'm not in this era where they change the rules 589 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: to make an onside kick impossible to recover, and I 590 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: think was the first onside kick that got called back 591 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: on penalty? Was that a bad call to the but 592 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: he and credit to the rest of the Special Teams group. 593 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: I don't want of just highlight one guy, but who 594 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: put it in the exact spot it was like a 595 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 1: pinball wizard, like shooting it right in between, like the 596 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: up back that's supposed to be the blocker, but putting 597 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: in a place where it was before Alvin Kamara or 598 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 1: that anybody else from the hands team could get to it. 599 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: That's a real skill. I feel like that should earn 600 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: you a roster spot for the rest of your life. 601 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: I I'm with you, and I am sad to feel 602 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: that this game that was not as much on your 603 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: radar as you would think because you had the glorious 604 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: Mike Arrico announcing along with Tony Dungee and Rodney Harrison 605 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: and Tariko One thing. I these there are these are 606 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,479 Speaker 1: these are These guys are not all created equal. I mean, 607 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: Terrico is just a creative guy. Where the way he 608 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: was describing some of that action late in the game 609 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: in general, what a pleasure. And it's I feel like 610 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: we've been robbed to not have him in our life 611 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: as a after week, there's a lot of We've talked 612 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: about it off off Mike, a lot maybe on Mike, 613 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: but there's definitely a Joe Montana Steve Young vibe with 614 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: al Michael's in the Monte on a Roll and you 615 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: have this guy Tariko, who's an absolute all pro, maybe 616 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: even a Hall of Famer, waiting for his opportunity. And 617 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 1: and he's he's twenty five years and he's twenty six, 618 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: he's twenty seven, he's twenty eight, he's twenty nine. When 619 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: is he going to get his chance to get behind 620 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: the mic or get on the field to extend that 621 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: uh analogy. I believe that Tariko will be able to 622 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 1: make his mark, But he's waiting for Alice's Hill. He's 623 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: Taysom Hill, you know, right. Well that's and I'm on 624 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: Taysom Hill Areas Hill, You're right? I I I think 625 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: that maybe there's a little difference there. But you know, 626 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: nice game, uh for the Saints. And and I have 627 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: to say on the falcon side, Matt Ryan shouldn't be 628 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: playing if you can't protect him. That was an atrocity 629 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: what was happening at the end of that game. Even 630 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: as you're trying to get if you're in if you're 631 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: in favor of the chaos theory, and you're just like, oh, 632 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: this is gonna be crazy. Let them go down the 633 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: field after these onside kicks and get the two like conversion. 634 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: All of a sudden there in overtime and everybody's like 635 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: freaking out in the state silence. But it was never 636 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: felt even in danger because they could not protect Ryan, 637 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: who maybe held the ball a little longer than he 638 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: should on some of those sacks too, So it's not 639 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: all on the line, but they just had no chance 640 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: that Cam Jordan was just running free. Uh it was 641 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: a turnstile down the stretch. It was wild and that 642 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: shy Tuttle interception was insane. I mean, Ryan, you know 643 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: heat when you look at some of the mistakes, stiff 644 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 1: arm Matt Ryan protect this man. And it's a holiday. 645 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: I mean we should be treating people better on a holiday. 646 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: So h C J. Gardner Johnson had an interception as well. 647 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 1: So sloppy game by the Falcons, and at three and nine, 648 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: it's quite It's funny in the NFL when, like when 649 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: the Dolphins won those two straight and we're showering them 650 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: with praise and then they get killed twice that the 651 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: Falcons are the same situation. Now that all that talk 652 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: about dan Quinn's gonna get his job job saved, I 653 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: don't know. Three and nine, you just imagine that there's 654 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: going to be a change there, and the Saints played 655 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: without left tackle Toron Armstead, who's inactive suffered an ankle injury, 656 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 1: so they're gonna need him back to be at full 657 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 1: strength when these games matter the most. But just keep 658 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: stacking wins. That's what the Sins are doing it maybe 659 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 1: they hit their stride. I think so. And like, you 660 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: know again Jared Cook, who just looks like a like 661 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: he's a tight end, but it's like a big bodied 662 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 1: wide receiver that is fast and making plays week after week. 663 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: That's a big deal to have suddenly back in Drew 664 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: in the world of Drew Brees, a tight end that 665 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: can make plays. Yes, And that was something we kind 666 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: of expected to happen in August, and it wasn't happening. Uh. 667 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 1: And Michael Thomas, good job, buddy. Held to six forty eight. 668 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: He still had a pace for the all time catch record, 669 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 1: but now it's becoming possible he finishes just a tick below, 670 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: which would be good for him. I mean, just in 671 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: terms of the right thing to do right, there's things 672 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: that are bigger than football, and so it is all right. 673 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: And I have one other note unrelated to these three games. 674 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: The Patriots released Nick Folk tough business in the kicker game. 675 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 1: We're a kicker corner right now. He killed them last week. 676 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 1: I mean they want they got an append appendectomy and 677 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 1: instead of just saying all right, get well buddy, maybe 678 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 1: they're gonna bring him back. Who knows in that situation. 679 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:19,280 Speaker 1: I always wonder is there a team doctor housed inside 680 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,879 Speaker 1: of the New England complex that somehow had some sort 681 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: of you know, formula to create an append appendectomy situation? 682 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,399 Speaker 1: Because that's that then you don't look like the bad 683 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: guys when you release them. So do you know who 684 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 1: they signed to replace? I believe it was a former 685 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: Brown's kicker. It is a gentleman who like him or 686 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 1: hate him. The guy's a pro and he's finally back 687 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: in the It's Kai. So now it's this is what 688 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 1: you've been asking, you've been asking for. It's a little 689 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,800 Speaker 1: bit of sweet because I don't want any New England 690 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,839 Speaker 1: Patriots kicker to excel. So I'm kind of in an 691 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 1: impossible situation here. Um, but I'm just happy that this 692 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,800 Speaker 1: era of Kai bawling is over and he deserved to 693 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: be back in the league. Yes, Nick Folk was like, 694 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 1: you know, on a retirement cruise ship somewhere and they 695 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 1: brought him out of two years of retirement. Kai should 696 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: have been on this team already, so I wish him 697 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: well again. I'm I'm definitely torn because I hate the Patriots. 698 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,759 Speaker 1: Puts you in a very strange place, no doubt, but 699 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: I do want to see Kai do well. So you know, 700 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 1: it's just with the Patriots, it's never it's never simple. Well, 701 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 1: it's you know, you have to ask about the Kai 702 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: locker room dynamic there, because that's something that's sort of 703 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 1: been tripped. You know, wherever he's gone, that's been an issue. 704 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: So we'll find out in fairness the Kai that's actually 705 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 1: not true. That's what I've been hearing. Had my reporting 706 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: years ago that Kai's Kai. Yeah, but we've never actually 707 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 1: heard it reported in NFL circles that I mean, if 708 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 1: you're reporting it to me, it is rock solid information. 709 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 1: My report is like in life, Okay, Well, in a 710 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 1: locker room maybe because he's a kicker, he keeps his 711 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: head down and he's not quite Kai's Kai. If you 712 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 1: get what I'm saying. Well, I mean, thirty two teams 713 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,320 Speaker 1: have decided that not until you know, deep into the season, 714 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: is he worth employing until now you know so well, 715 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,759 Speaker 1: maybe it all changes now four kickers for the Pats. 716 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 1: All right, that's it for the Thanksgiving recap. We will 717 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 1: be back as a foursome on Sunday night recapping the 718 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 1: rest of the week thirteen games, So make sure you 719 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,800 Speaker 1: return for that. And uh everyone uh.

And I hope that it's a nice tree. 727 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: And how about you just go back into the cave 728 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 1: picking up the family from the airport in in a 729 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,320 Speaker 1: few hours.
