Well, well, well, 54 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: where where do we start? I think we have to 55 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: begin with the game of the day, at least the 56 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: Fox National game of the day, and that was two 57 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: Super Bowl contenders. The greatest quarterback of all time, I 58 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: think it's fair to call Rogers the top. For me, 59 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: he's a top fringe, top five five quarterback of all time. 60 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: And I said it all week going into this game. 61 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: The only thing that mattered was the Packers finding a 62 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: way to win. Like last year, they got curb stomped 63 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: in their first game, same thing happened this year and 64 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: they turned around their season. Now, this team is built 65 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: a lot differently than last year, mainly because Davante Adams, 66 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: who's now on a team that is a full on 67 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: disaster we'll talk about a little bit later, and the 68 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: Packers are built differently. They are built. We talked about 69 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: it leading up to this game to get into let's 70 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: call it what it is, a street fight with teams 71 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: like the Bucks, the Rams, and because the last several 72 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: years they have not been able to do that when 73 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: it mattered, they weren't physically tough enough. Mentally toughness, we 74 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: can question. You'll never truly know that until the playoffs, 75 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: because I thought the last couple of years they were 76 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: mentally tough and then they failed in the playoffs. But 77 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: I do think it's easier to be mentally tougher when 78 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: you are just a physically tougher team. And the physical 79 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: toughness of the Packers today they hailed top Rady and 80 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: then listen, they got a ton of injuries on offense. 81 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: Tom's getting up there in age, even though he still 82 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: looks fantastic. They were kind of reliant on like playoff 83 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: Lenny and Russell Gauge. Regardless though, you gotta find a 84 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: way to win in twelve points when Rogers, you know 85 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: he had a bad pick. It's not like he was 86 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: lighting the world on fire after those first couple of 87 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: drives because the Packers came out swinging and they won. 88 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: That's Coward talks about this all the time, and it's 89 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: so true. I say it when it comes to basketball 90 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: and baseball, how meaningless most individual games are. That is 91 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: not the case of football. We see it on Saturdays, 92 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: and we definitely see it on Sundays. Every game matters, 93 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: and when you're playing other playoff teams, especially when you 94 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: factor in swing games. When it comes to seating, home 95 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: field advantage is so meaningful because it's only a one 96 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: off in the playoffs. Now. The Packers have lost multiple 97 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: home games the last couple of years. Right that they 98 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: lost to uh the Tampa Bay Buccaneers two years ago, 99 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: and they lost to the forty Niners last year. Two games. 100 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: Hosting playoff games. That is the goal of any season, 101 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: if I tell you right now, regardless who your team. 102 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: Is they have in the first or second round a 103 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: home playoff game, that means your regular season was a 104 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: wild success, right you won your division. The only way 105 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: to get a home playoff game in the first or 106 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: the second round means you are a divisional champion. And 107 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: the Packers have taken care of business. And I still 108 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: would bet on them. I said it last week when 109 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: we was our Cousins play on Sunday. Uh was a 110 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: Sunday or Monday night, Monday night football against the Birds. 111 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: That as long as Kirk Cousins is their quarterback and 112 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: Rogers is the Packers quarterback, I will take the Packers 113 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: to win the NFC North. I feel even better about 114 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: that today, though they are not going to be as 115 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: sexy as Minnesota as some games, throwing all these touchdowns 116 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: and feeling and throwing touchdowns to Jefferson like the Backers 117 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: a roll with Alan Loozard. Sammy Watkins is on injured 118 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: reserve shocker. You know, the guy only gets hurt every year. 119 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: But this team is so much more physical now on 120 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: defense and running the ball. We know they've been able 121 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: to do that last couple of years, but they're really 122 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: gonna rely on it. And at the end of the day, 123 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: they still have Aaron Rodgers. So when he's a little 124 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: off whatever, I'll still lean with Aaron Rodgers a little off. 125 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: More than ninety nine percent of quarterbacks. Even Tom Brady 126 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: today was somewhat of a struggle today, a lot of 127 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: Dincon and Duncan because that's what he had to do. 128 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: And that comes down to a two point play there 129 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: right there. And when you have a great quarterback and 130 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: you have a physical defense, you're always gonna have a chance. 131 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: Like do I love what I see out of the 132 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: Bucks through three games? Of course not. They're missing all 133 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: these players, they're relying on older players on the outside. 134 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, they have a 135 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 1: top notch defense and they have Tom Brady. And if 136 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: the Packers can basically copy that, which I think they 137 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: have been trying to do, you will go into a 138 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: playoff game with Aaron Rodgers and a really good defense. 139 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: If you have that, I like my chances in the playoffs. 140 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: What has been their problem in the last several years 141 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: in playoff games? Defense let them down. Now last year, 142 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: ironically the offense let them down. But if you bring that, 143 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: and especially if you're gonna play a game in Lambeau 144 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: because one thing, there is no avoiding that when they 145 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: get a home playoff game in Lamba, whether that's in 146 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: the first round or whether I guess now only the 147 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: one seed gets to buy that, you know it's gonna 148 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: be freezing cold. It is going to be cold, and 149 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: more than likely the game is gonna be ugly. Think 150 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: back to when Tom Coughlin's face fr froze off, Think 151 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: back to last year against the forty nine. The simple 152 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: reality is that you gotta find a way to win 153 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,239 Speaker 1: in ugly games. And I do think they're built much 154 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: more toward that this season. And listen, you can say 155 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: whatever you want, ugly wins. This is this is the NFL, 156 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: this is the sport of football. Winning is the only 157 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: thing that matters, as the only thing will judge you on. 158 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: And I got a lot of coaches who can't win, 159 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: and we're gonna dive into right now that they would 160 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: give anything to have a win and not a loss. 161 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: Doesn't matter. If it's pretty, it doesn't matter. Lincoln Riley, 162 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: I stayed up late last night watching USC Oregon State. 163 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: You know when the dust settled the USC ugly game, 164 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: they won. That's all that matters. And I gotta give 165 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: the packers credit. I said, you just gotta win. They 166 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: figured it out. Let's get into some teams that are 167 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: in shambles. And I've been thinking a lot about this 168 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: because I get the media a lot of ship because 169 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: they just you know, in this sport of football, agents 170 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: and currying favor with future head coaches and head coach 171 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: is a big part of their job. I don't necessarily 172 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: blame them, right, you need their access for the stories 173 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: you're writing, even though you know, I don't really know 174 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,719 Speaker 1: who's reading all these stories in two thousand twenty two 175 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: as much as we used to maybe ten, fifteen, twenty 176 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: years ago with the with the newspapers. But I'm still 177 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: a sucker for the athletic. I understand and and I 178 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: respect the job of needing access to do your job. 179 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 1: Like ultimately, I don't need any access. My job is 180 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: predicated on me just giving opinions on what I see. 181 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: I don't need to be able to text the guy 182 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: in the front office. Now. I'm lucky enough to know 183 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: some of these people, and sometimes I piss them off 184 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: with things I say because I feel obligated to you guys, 185 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: the consumer The only fucking thing I care about is 186 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: just trying to represent the guy sitting on his couch 187 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: who watches something and sees it being a disaster. And 188 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: people often think I have a motion towards certain takes. No, 189 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: I I do believe in what I say. So when 190 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: I give a take and I believe it, I'm not 191 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: gonna pivot off it until I'm proven to be wrong, 192 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,839 Speaker 1: and then I have no choice. C C. Jalen Hurts. 193 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: I thought he was a running back coming out of college. 194 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: Right now, he's been one of the better quarterbacks in 195 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: the league so far this season. I have no problem 196 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 1: saying I'm wrong, but when I am right, and I'm 197 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: right on several things right now, let's start. And here's 198 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: the thing. On the media. I think football and politics 199 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: have some similarities. Media narrow atives can really grow and 200 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 1: they can influence the way we think. Now in politics 201 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: it's a little differently different because ultimately politicians they all 202 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: kind of fail and none of it ever matters. It's 203 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: all just a bunch of fluff bs. Where for those 204 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: of us in the private sector, we either like if 205 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 1: we fail, if we stopped making money, we go under. 206 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: If we don't produce at our job. We get fired. 207 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: In football, you can have the greatest hype train, and 208 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: let's face it, Josh McDaniels have that hype train. And 209 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: I'm guilty. I believed what I was reading. I believe 210 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,319 Speaker 1: like Josh McDaniels is gonna figure it out, even though 211 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: he has a long history going back twelve fifteen or 212 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: however many years ago, was with the Denver Broncos. Right 213 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: was oh a No. Nine, maybe oh nine and ten. 214 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: That's a long time ago. And I've given him a 215 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: benefit of doubt. Like listen, I was, you can't compare 216 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: ten years ago to any of us to us now. 217 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: If you've progressed, if you've learned, if you've gotten better 218 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: at whatever you do. But then just not that long ago. Right, 219 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: five years ago he pulled out of the colt's job, 220 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: another pretty big red flag, and he started thinking, like, 221 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: you know, something a little off. But then he started 222 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: doing all this like introspection. Look in the mirror. He 223 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: had Dan POMPEII and all these guys writing these articles 224 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: on him, and I was like, this guy, Belichick, he's 225 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: gonna come and crush it and he takes over a team. 226 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: Think about this the Raiders last year won ten games. 227 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: Their coach was fired early in the season because of 228 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: the text Messes scandal, and then a wide receiver two 229 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: weeks later killed an innocent girl and her dog and 230 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: is in jail currently. So and he was a good player. 231 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: So they lost their coach, John Gruze is a hunter 232 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: million dollar man. Their star first round pick who was 233 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: becoming a stud went to jail because of murder. And 234 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: still their team rallied together with an interim coach who 235 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: was the Special Team's coach. The core of the team 236 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: Derek Carr, Max Crosby, Colton Miller, Hunter, Renfro, Darren Waller, 237 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 1: and they won ten games and they made to the playoffs. 238 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 1: It's one of the most remarkable things I've ever seen. 239 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: They had no business winning like seven. Once those things happened, 240 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: most teams would have unraveled, but the core of their team, 241 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: good players, high character guys, held it together. Rich gets fired, 242 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: they get Josh McDaniels. Then all of a sudden, Davante 243 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: Adams is like, you know what, Green Bay, I'm tired 244 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: of this place. I'm a West Coast guy. Send me 245 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: back West. Somehow, Davante Adams is able to force his 246 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: way out goes the Raiders and Davantae Adams the last 247 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: three years has been one of the best players in 248 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: football and better part of a team that won thirty 249 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: nine games thirteen games a season. That's what the Packers 250 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: are doing. So their core group of guys that Josh 251 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: McDaniels inherited literally just made the playoffs. DeVante has been 252 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: part of one of the best teams in the sport 253 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: and their second best player kicking everyone's ass. So he 254 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: inherits the group playoff players for the Raiders, adds a 255 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: winning star player. Yet somehow I'm watching the Raiders today 256 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 1: and there oh and three and today was an embarrassment. 257 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: And listen, Hackett has gotten a ton of ship. But 258 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 1: know this that I'm recording this part before this Sunday 259 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,599 Speaker 1: night game. Hackett took over the Denver Broncos who have 260 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: been losing the last several years. And I say it 261 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: all the time. Russell Wilson is a great player. Every 262 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator has ever had has been fired. Yet Josh 263 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: McDaniels like somehow turned the media on his side when 264 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 1: usually the Patriot guys are all hated. Yet he is 265 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: a disaster they had a delay a game, and then 266 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: coming out of the delay a game, they had to 267 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: call a time out. Stuff that if he was coaching 268 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: for the Dallas Cowboys like hackett On, that's what we 269 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: would be shipping on him. But somehow Josh mcgaiel has 270 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: been flying under the radar. And I saw this quote 271 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: again today. He keeps talking about we need to learn 272 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: how to win. No, Josh, you need to learn how 273 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: to win. The Raiders last year won ten games playoff 274 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: team Davante Adams. All the guy can do in the 275 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: playoffs is win, or all the guy can do in 276 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 1: the NFL is win. It's always been a part of 277 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: I had someone texted me today involved in football that 278 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: was like, only the Raiders could get Davante Adams and 279 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: become worse than the red zone. I don't know how 280 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: it's possible, but it's taking shape and taking place in 281 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,959 Speaker 1: front of our eyes. Josh McDaniels utter disaster, and I'll 282 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: be the first to say I didn't see that coming. 283 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: I picked the Raiders to make the playoffs. I thought 284 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: he would be good. I bought into the media hype. 285 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: Football season is underway, so now is the perfect time 286 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: to download FanDuel, America's number one sports book because right now, 287 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: new customers get a no sweat first bet up to 288 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: one thousand dollars.

I refused, 315 00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: let's start, let's move down the list. Brandon Staley one 316 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: of the media's favorites. And I said it all along. 317 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: I'm born and raised in California. I can sniff and 318 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: smell out a fraud from a mile away, lived around 319 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: him my entire life. People that say one thing and 320 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: do another. It's part of the ethos of where I'm from. 321 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: I know these people better than anyone. And Brandon Staley, 322 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: I sniffed him out early. I said, something is off 323 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: because I know when a guy actively tries to play 324 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: the media like politicians, the media is their mark and 325 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: they know how to use them and manipulate them. And 326 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: I saw Brandon Staley using all these words, playing some 327 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: of the media favorites with analytics and calling them by 328 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: their first name. It was just he was putting on 329 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: a clinic. But for me, I'm not impressed by any 330 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: of that. Mainly, I don't really give a ship, but 331 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: I know when it's like he's doing that on purpose, 332 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: because deep down he's a fraud and a lot of 333 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: people like Middlecoff, you're just a hater. I didn't hate. 334 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: I don't even care about the guy. But my point 335 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: is something's off. Last year he had a top five 336 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: quarterback and they missed the playoffs, like I said, losing 337 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: to the Raiders in a must win game. Then this 338 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: year lose a game last week on the road that 339 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 1: they should have won against the Chiefs. It's like, okay, listen, 340 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: playing the Chiefs, one of the best teams in the league, 341 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: even if you should win the game, quarterback gets a 342 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: little banged up, whatever. Then you play the Jacks, who 343 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 1: the Jacks have been the They've had the number one 344 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: overall pick the last two seasons, so literally they have 345 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: been the worst NFL team for two years running. Last 346 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: year is one of the all time great debacles. We 347 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: hope some people were even like Trevor Lawrence sucks hell. 348 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: Even I started to think, like, it is the guy 349 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 1: that good. Well, it turns out fraud Meyer, who you know, 350 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 1: who's actually pretty good on TV. He's a college guy, 351 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: even though I don't know if he'd be quite as 352 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: good of a college guy anymore because now everyone can 353 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: pay the players. That was a huge point of difference 354 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: from him at Florida in the House state. He could 355 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: cheat that everyone could cheat now that days are gone. 356 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: But fred Meyer, let's not spend any time talking about him, 357 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 1: because they get Doug Peterson, who's won a Super Bowl. 358 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: High level guy, know him, super high character guy, obviously 359 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: knows offense, had a lot of success in the NFL, 360 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl, the backup quarterback, and I watched 361 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: him today play Brandon Staling, and you go, oh, Brandon Stale. 362 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: He had a bunch of injuries. Joey Bosa got hurt, 363 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: Slater got hurt. I get it. They had some injuries. 364 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: Here's what I know. Like I said, the Jags were 365 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: literally the worst fucking team in the league for twenty 366 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 1: four straight months, and most people coming into this league, 367 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: maybe some football nerds, thought they were gonna suck again. 368 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: They just beat the Chargers. Last time I checked the 369 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 1: score thirty eight to ten. Was that the final thirty 370 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: eight to ten. You can't convince me that Brandon Staley 371 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: is not a fraud. And then today late in the game, 372 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: they are getting curb stopped, absolutely killed, and Justin Herbert, 373 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: who's battling a tough SLB battling through some rib injuries, 374 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: is still in the game. What are we doing? Like 375 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: your defense is getting worked by Doug Peterson. Of course 376 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: it is. He is an infinitely better coach than you. 377 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: But then the only hope your franchise has with Joey 378 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 1: Bose on the sideline, with Slater on this island, two 379 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: great players, is this quarterback who was banged up and 380 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: you leave him in the game. Do you get what's 381 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: going on? Or did somehow you just work your way 382 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: to this job. And part of it is Dean Spanos 383 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 1: loves a good cheap coach. Staley not making that much 384 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: and I said it over and over again. People thought 385 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 1: I was crazy because I have an agenda. I have 386 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: no agendas. If Staley was good, I'd be the first 387 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 1: to tell you. If if Josh McDaniels and the Raiders 388 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: were high level organization, I'd be the first to tell you. 389 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: If Steve sarkisia knew what he was doing, I'd be 390 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: the first to tell you. But you watch these teams, 391 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: I know you do, I do, and they suck and 392 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: you go, how is this possible? And the only reason 393 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: it's possible is because guys are over their head. The 394 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: reality at the sport of football, there have been a 395 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: ton of good coordinators well before I was born in 396 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: nine and a ton since a small percentage of them 397 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: are meant to be good head coaches. Just like a 398 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: small there there's been a million quarterbacks play all over 399 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 1: the country, Division one, Division two play college football. A 400 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: small percentage of those guys make it to the NFL. 401 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: Then a small percentage of the group that makes the 402 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: NFL is actually good at playing quarterback. It is very, 403 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: very hard to be a good head coach and a 404 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: good quarterback. We see it every single year. We see 405 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: it every single decade. We see it in all sports. 406 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: And Brandon Staley is clearly good coordinator. We think he 407 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: only had one good year, but he is a terrible 408 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: head coach, Like he just gotta beat thirty eight to 409 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,479 Speaker 1: ten at home to the Jacks, Like listen, Jack's good 410 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: little story, Dougs a super Bowl winning coach. Ten pretty 411 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: gutless effort by your guys. And then the Cardinals Like, 412 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: I'm not taking a victory lap on this one. I 413 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 1: don't believe in them. I don't believe in anything they represent. 414 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: Last year, I was thinking watching today the uh, the 415 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: Rams just kind of wolcome even though the score was 416 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: actually closer. Stafford was having a weird game. It's like 417 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 1: this team is just not good, you know. Ultimately, the Chargers, 418 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: even when they're missing some guys, like they should be 419 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: like that, they have no excuse to not make the playoffs. 420 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: To me, I think we're gonna look back and go 421 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: isn't it pretty nuts? Isn't it pretty wild that, uh, 422 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: the Cardinals made the playoffs in the two two season? 423 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: Isn't that pretty crazy? Because they're never gonna make the 424 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: playoffs again? Like they suck there, They're not good, They're 425 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: out a well run organization. They don't have a winning 426 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: football coach. Their quarterback is kind of just he can 427 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: pull things out of his butt, but for the most part, 428 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: like I'm watching him, he just seems like not that 429 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: good right now. He had those couple of moments against 430 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: the Raiders, but watching him to day, it's like, I 431 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: just don't see it. Now. You can say he's missing 432 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,719 Speaker 1: some players. Okay, a lot of people are missing some players. 433 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: You either find a way to get it done or 434 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: you don't. And I think the Cards are in major trouble. 435 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 1: To me, the Chargers, the Cards like this thinking fall 436 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: off the rails fast. And I think the question will 437 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 1: be for the Cards if they have a disastrous season, 438 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: would you fire everyone? You just gave him five year extensions? Hey, 439 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: Dean Spanos, you have this coach because everyone keeps telling me, 440 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 1: Sean Payton's going to the Dallas Cowboys. Sean Payton's going 441 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: to the Dallas Cowboys. Why would John Payton want to 442 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 1: go to Dallas Cowboys. He has an owner who's seventy 443 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: years old. Feels like he's losing a little bit even 444 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: though he entertains me. I think it's one thing to 445 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: be entertained by Jerry Jones, be another thing to work 446 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: for him. He has Dak Prescott, which good guy, high character, 447 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: had a pretty good story, made a lot of money. 448 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: But would you want to amage your quarterback if you 449 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: had to choose. If I'm Sean Payton, I called Dean 450 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: Spanouse and be like, can we were got a deal. 451 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: There's the thing, Dean, You're making money hand over fist 452 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: just because of the league making you money because of 453 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: the enormous contracts that the league is signed with CBS, NBC, ABC, ESPN. Like, 454 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,400 Speaker 1: we get it. You love putting money in your savings account, 455 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: but how about do this. You have a coach who's 456 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 1: a complete fraud and he's terrible. Fire the guy when 457 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,959 Speaker 1: this season ends, and go hire Sean Payton. If I'm 458 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: Sean Payton, Like, listen, the going rate for me is 459 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: fifteen plus million dollars a year. That's what it costs. 460 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: That's what Andy makes, That's what McVeigh makes. You know, 461 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: Kyle makes a little bit less like that. That's the 462 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: going rate. Right Hell, college coaches are making eleven or twelve. 463 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 1: So instead of paying a guy five six million dollars 464 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: to embarrass yourself every year, go get a real coach, 465 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: pay him a premium, get him with Justin Herbert, and 466 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: give your franchise a chance to not be one of 467 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: the great underachieving franchises we've ever seen. And last but 468 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: not least, I will take somewhat of a victory lap 469 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: on this because, like I said, the media anointed this guy, 470 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,679 Speaker 1: and I get it. People like other people. There are 471 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: certain people that I rooted for. Matt n Aggie is 472 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: a friend of mine. I rooted for him with with 473 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: the Bear even when it wasn't going well. I understand it. 474 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: But this guy, like Matt Nagge made the playoffs twice. 475 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: Steve Sarkisian once he gets so much credit for what 476 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: he did at the University of Washington, took over a program. 477 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it was one and eleven the year 478 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: that he got the job. Tyrone Willingham got fired and 479 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: he started winning like seven games a year, literally for 480 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: like six straight years. But here was the problem. He 481 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: took a terrible program, started winning like six seven games. 482 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 1: That program had NFL players everywhere, and then Stark, in 483 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: the middle of the night, goes to the USC and 484 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: Chris Peterson comes from Boise takes that same program to 485 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Why because Chris Peterson's a good coach, and 486 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: the only thing we judge you in coaching, like ultimately 487 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: how good you are at practice, how good you are 488 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 1: with the media, how good you are with your team. 489 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: We talked a lot about that, but ultimately you're judged 490 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 1: under you win or do you lose? And for whatever reason, 491 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 1: I can't put my finger on it. Beside, I don't know. 492 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: Maybe he's just not a good head coach. Steve Sarkisian 493 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: always loses. He's seven and nine at Texas, And listen, 494 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: you lose to Alabama, you losed Oklahoma, we get it. 495 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: Last year, loses the Kansas this year, loses the Texas. 496 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: Tech Like, are you ever gonna win a fucking game? 497 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: When people are like, just win the game? But he doesn't. 498 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,479 Speaker 1: And I don't know what else to say. And I 499 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: think people really want him to be good so badly 500 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: because he's really liked. And listen, I've had friends that 501 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: have had addiction. I lost a friend a couple of 502 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: years ago that had some serious issues. Most of us, 503 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: the older you get, are gonna be around it, whether 504 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: it be in family, whether it being friends. So I 505 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 1: try not to hold what happened at USC you know, 506 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: quote unquote off the field. The problem was is he 507 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: carried it onto the field, and I can never look 508 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 1: at him the same once players were saying he coached 509 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: the game drunk. He came to the team meeting wasted, 510 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: even though he resurrected his career. I guess as a coordinator, 511 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 1: well clearly as a head coach, whether it's getting his 512 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: life back on track, which everyone's rooting for the good 513 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: story and I get it, but he just can't figure 514 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,439 Speaker 1: it out and he looks lost on the sideline. His 515 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: teams are soft. Yesterday, Texas Tech, Texas literally paid more 516 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,199 Speaker 1: money for their team, their coordinators than any team in 517 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: the country. And all everyone told me watch out for Texas. 518 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: They're locked and loaded. They bought all these guys, they 519 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,919 Speaker 1: got the best running back in the country. He signed 520 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: all these players with all the money. And then I 521 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: watched him against Texas Tech. Texas freaking Tech who just 522 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: fired their coach, beats them, Like I just what else 523 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 1: needs to be said at this point? Uh, And last, 524 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: but not least, there was a Ken Dorsey video and 525 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 1: it really hit me. Ken Dorsey, the Bills lose this 526 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: crazy game. I didn't watch that much of it, even 527 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 1: though big story is to a guy concussion. Then they 528 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: claimed it was his back and now they're all running 529 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 1: and the media is gonna freak whatever. I can't even 530 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: keep up. Dolphins are three and oh, pretty impressive, and 531 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: then playing on Thursday night three and oh, I listen, 532 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: I bet against him. Didn't see that coming. Obviously. I 533 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: would have hammered the Bills this week and the Bills 534 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: lose the game. But so at the end of the game, 535 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: wide receiver he runs out of he instead of running 536 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: out of bounds, the Bills are not any tight ends 537 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,919 Speaker 1: or any time out's left, he kind of does these moves, 538 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 1: stays in bounds. There's ten seconds he's they're not able 539 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: to snap the ball. So the game basically ends on that. 540 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: I bet most people saw the end, but what they 541 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: definitely saw is the viral video of Ken Dorsey losing 542 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: the ship. And I thought to myself, a lot of 543 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: people it's funny, and it's it's just it's an easy 544 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: thing to share on social media veha clip, but it 545 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: resonated with me, like, that's why the nfls won, That's 546 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: why football is number one. Because every game, every snap, 547 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 1: every divisional game, it just couldn't mean anymore. And that 548 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: moment of that coach losing his ship, shattering the iPad, shattering, 549 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: his play sheet, pencils flowing everywhere, is no different than 550 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,959 Speaker 1: you sitting at home, having a hundred dollars on that 551 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 1: game and losing. You sitting at home that needed that 552 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: extra yard and fantasy football and your guy going out 553 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: of bound instead of getting it, losing your mind because 554 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: you lose to your buddy. You sitting at home watching 555 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 1: your favorite team. If you're a Raider fan, if you're 556 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: a Charger fan, if you're a Cardinal fan, if you're 557 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 1: whoever fan and your team, if you're a Pats fan, 558 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: you being furious with you losing. That to me represents football. 559 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: The fans, the coaches, the players. It all means so much, 560 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: you know it. Just when something happens, it just feels 561 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: so devastating. It's no different when something good happens, it 562 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: feels incredible. Like if you're a Dolphins fan right now, 563 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: you're on top of the world. We'll see the Giants 564 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 1: Cowboy game. But if you're a Giants fan right now, 565 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 1: you're two and oh, you're thinking, if we get the Cowboys, 566 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 1: we're three and oh right there with the Eagles. We 567 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: haven't even played him yet. And there is nothing like 568 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: the urgency in the sport of football. You see it 569 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: on Saturdays. I'm watched so many games yesterday where it's 570 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 1: like everything's on the line right here, even though it 571 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: might not technically be. But Clemson wake Forest, it felt 572 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: like Clemson's chance to make the playoffs. They lose this, 573 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: they're in trouble. Usc like Lincoln Riley's got them back. 574 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: He's on the ropes on the road Florida, Tennessee, like 575 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: it's Tennessee, gonna be Florida. This is really gonna happen. 576 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: How much it meant to those hundred thousand people watching. 577 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: I think Michigan's gonna kick Maryland's ass. Turns out to 578 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: his brother's pretty good. Maryland gives him a game all 579 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,719 Speaker 1: of a sudden, It's like Michigan season could be derailed 580 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: right here. Obviously in the NFL, how much everything means. 581 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 1: And I love those moments, and I think that I 582 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: say it all the time. One reason football is really 583 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 1: pulled apart is the is the power and the urgency 584 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: and the importance and everything we watch Now, maybe I'm 585 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: hyping it up a little bit, but the other sports 586 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: don't hold the this is week three, this is week three. 587 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 1: I say it all the time, like I love baseball. 588 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: I like baseball as a thirty seven year old guy 589 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: about to be thirty eight. Most of my demo does 590 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: not They do not consume. And I want to say 591 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: I like it. I don't watch it that much anymore, 592 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: though I used to a lot more. And Aaron Judge, 593 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: who is from the Valley Fresno State guy, I couldn't 594 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: be a bigger fan of Aaron Judge. I don't know 595 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: how you could not root for him. Elite player, having 596 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: an elite season, high character guy, He's just the total package. 597 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: He is every thing you want in a superstar in 598 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: any sport. Well yesterday, ESPN. Of course they would. They're 599 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: run by a bunch of Northeast academic elites who probably 600 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: love the Yankees. But the simple reality is Texas Texas 601 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: Tech is on and if I'm a UTI grad or 602 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: Texas Tech guy, or I have money on the game, 603 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: I don't give a shit about Aaron Jush. I couldn't 604 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: care any less. And part of that is just the 605 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: sport is not as important. And what's the record? He's 606 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: really going for sixty one? What does that mean? Maybe 607 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: call me a Giants fan, Barry Bonds holds the record. 608 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: I mean, what are we talking about here? And they 609 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: kept going to his a BS like, no one watching 610 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: that game cares about the A B s Why because 611 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: Texas Texas Tech means a lot in a weird way. 612 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: It's crazy to say, but the Yankees star out fielder 613 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: who's having one of the greatest seasons in the history 614 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: of the franchise, and the Yankees are easily you put 615 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: every team on the open market, they would get more 616 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: than like NFL teams. Yet the A B for this 617 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: moment is completely irrelevant to everyone watching Texas in Texas Tech. 618 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: If we wanted to watch that, we would stream it 619 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: somewhere else. But if we're watching that game, which a 620 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: lot of people were, we do not care about Aaron 621 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: Judge And like, listen, I think about it all the time. 622 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: This is the sport that I'm most known for. I'm 623 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: very lucky to have to talk about football. That just 624 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: means the most two people in this country. And it 625 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: feels every week all this stuff happening the game even 626 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: separates from the packet. It's wild Insane Day. Have a 627 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: lot more stuff coming up on on Tuesday's show, but 628 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: what a day for football volume
