Yeah, I think 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:32.080 garlic bread grossly underappreciate it. Okay, I love garlic bread. 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:35.440 You love it. You don't think about having pasta on 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:38.679 the tregger. But you can make anything on the trigger. 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.520 You can have cocktails on the trigger. You can do 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:47.160 pause on the trigger, and you can do pasta as well. 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:49.800 But make sure you take care of biggest sale of 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:54.120 the ear for the trigger grills, trigger woodpellet grills. There's 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.880 nothing that tastes like food that's been cooked on a 0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:00.880 trigger grill. All right. Poll question four to Seetan O'Connor is, well, 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.960 we can. I'll update you on our very anti American 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.840 uh our one Poll question. I don't know how much 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:09.960 we want to continue to damage our brand as a show. 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:13.000 But you can only watch one this weekend, the World 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:17.400 Cup or college football. Right now, we're at thirty seven 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:21.560 percent of good Americans would have watched the World Cup. Okay, 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.639 I think that's a pretty good numbers. I think it's 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:29.400 a pretty good number. It's it's against the Netherlands. Maybe 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:34.440 that's the problem. It's not us, it's them, like the Netherlands. 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.560 What do you think of What do you think of 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.720 when I say Netherlands, what do you think of Amsterdam? 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:46.960 Of getting baked? I have not been to ams you haven't. No, 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:52.480 it's a little crazy meaning uh, you know what. It 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.400 is true. There are a lot of bikes there. There 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:58.360 is like a huge bike culture there, especially in Amsterdam 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.959 and the roadways they have their own separate bike lanes 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:06.919 that are like freeways. They're packed with it's crazy. Well, 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:09.960 I was wondering there are more bikes or people in 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:16.560 the Netherlands. Yeah, I think it's bikes. They're more bikes. Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah. 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.280 I've been to the Netherlands, believe or not, three times 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.160 once accidentally. It's a beautiful town. It's kind of like Venice, 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:24.800 but more open and they've got like that. The town 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.160 has like a train station at the center and then 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.000 these rings of circles and canals that go outward and 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:33.640 so there's houseboats all over like Brownstones. Looks almost like 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:38.440 Brooklyn in some areas. Beautiful restaurants and like but tons 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.640 and tons of bicycles and lots of and they're weed shops. 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:45.120 They look like coffee shops. They actually call them coffee shops. 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:46.840 And so when you go in, you get a menu 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.160 and you order a drink and whatever weed you want. 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.880 But it's it's like nice, Wait did you order? Someone 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.839 else put in the order on whitey half? I absolutely did. 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:59.640 Oh you did? Yeah, Whilston, Netherlands. Did you have edibles? No, 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:01.800 they don't have that. This was a long time ago. 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.680 This is probably fifteen years old. So it's just the 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:08.400 reefer that they're so refer Yeah. Yeah in the coffee shop. 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:12.480 Imagine if Starbucks everyone's bad. Yeah, well what do you mean? Yeah? 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:16.920 Good play lovely though, Okay, it's it's a great place. 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:19.799 There's really good food there. There's awesome museum in Amsterdam. 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.520 Canals are pretty cool. It's a it's a hell of 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:26.080 a place. Reich's Museum. Yeah, museum. Yeah. And that you 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.320 could take a tour of the Heineken Brewery and they 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:30.400 give you four beers over the course of a ninety 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:34.440 minute tour. You're hammered by the time you get done. Really, yeah, 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.720 four beers. I think in the ninety minutes. Is it 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:40.320 a different type of percentage of alcohol there with the 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.640 Heineken beers. I don't know. I think any four in 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:44.360 a half and ninety minutes, But it's kind of like, 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.560 you know, like you go to the Guinness in Dublin. 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:51.040 Heineken's very popular tourist attraction and in Amsterdam, and Van 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.920 Gok is, uh sure, yeah, poor guy, you should Van 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:59.400 go sometimes. I would love to. I'd love to, all right, 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:02.679 Just when you thought he couldn't get any bigger, Dwayne 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.320 Johnson his back the all new episodes of Young Rock 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:09.200 Fridays on NBC streaming next day on Peacock, and don't 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.960 forget to catch up on seasons one and two streaming now. 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:16.000 We got sort of a hint or a heads up 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.240 that something had happened on a commercial shoot for Drew 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:23.680 Brees and I believe he's in South America, Venezuela. And 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.120 I said to Paulli, you know what do we have 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:27.920 on this? He said nothing. I don't want to go 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.920 with anything right now. We have since followed up with 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.840 Drew Brees with his agent. Also, we know some of 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.920 the people who are on the commercial shoot or at 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:40.640 least involved in that and Paully give us an update 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:43.960 on what happened to Drew Brees. So, Drew Brees does 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:46.880 a brand ambassadorship for a company called points Bet sports Book. 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.440 They're like a gambling content company. Yeah, he tweeted out 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.240 on November twenty ninth, excited to be flying to a 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:53.680 top secret location to shoot the new promo video for 0:05:53.720 --> 0:06:00.320 points Bet. And then a journalist in Katumbo Venezuela tweeted 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.400 out a video of the Drew Brees shoot. I guess 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:04.599 he was there to cover it. And since this area 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.560 called Cotumbo Venezuela, that's known for lightning strikes and that's 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:09.920 maybe the reason they went to shoot there, that there 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:12.120 was a lightning strike that hit the set. It does 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.480 not necessarily hit Drew Brees. The video is all out 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.840 there on Twitter and other social media, but a lightning 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:20.520 strike hits their set. Everyone is blown backwards and the 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:24.000 video goes dark. Points Bet sports Book said, we are 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.440 aware of the media coverage regarding Points Bet brand ambassador 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.240 Drew Brees. We're in communication with Breeze team will continue 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:31.640 to monitor events throughout the coming hours. At this stage, 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:33.400 we will not be making any further comment. They did 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.839 that about thirty five minutes ago. Again, the video shows 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:39.520 a lightning strike near the set or on the set, 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.560 with the blue of the set apart quite a bit. 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.320 But we don't know if Drew Brees necessarily got hit 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.440 by lightning, and there's been no update on his situation, 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:52.960 if there is any, Okay, because the information that they 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:56.039 gave is not very revealing, not at all. You don't 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.320 know whether he or the people on the set, we're 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:00.560 hit by lightning or was just very close by. But 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.480 you can find the video in about ten seconds and 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:08.440 it's it's it's like an explosion on the set. And 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:11.680 again this is in Venezuenezuela. Yeah, okay, overnight it was 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.160 being shot. Okay, we'll keep an eye on that. If 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:17.680 we have any any other information on Drew Brees on 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.920 that commercial shoot, we'll let you know. College football tonight 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:26.520 Utah USC and case State TCUs tomorrow, both of those 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:28.960 point spreads. Case State is getting two and a half, 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:32.400 Utah is getting two and a half. Yeah, and these 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.640 you know you've got neutral sits here for this. I 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.040 give you an idea of how close they think these 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:40.720 games are going to be. If this game was at 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:48.239 Utah would Utah be favored against USC? Is that fair 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:52.320 to the line? There a neutral site at USC favored 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.720 by two and a half? Yeah, po Yeah. Traditionally they 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:56.920 say you get three points two or three points for 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.880 being home. Yeah, so this is I guess a true 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:01.880 line where USC is favored by two and a half. 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:04.160 That if so, if you if you tre at home, 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:09.720 they may be favored by half a point. Yeah. LSU 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.960 is getting seventeen and a half, Clemson is giving seven 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:16.800 and a half to North Carolina, Central Florida is getting 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.560 three and a half against Tulane, and Purdue is getting 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:23.760 seventeen against Michigan. Some of the big games for this 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:27.400 weekend with the NFL, the Dolphins and the Niners. The 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.960 Dolphins are getting four, Titans getting four and a half 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:34.960 against the Eagles, Jets getting three against the Vikings. The Browns, 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:38.400 with the return of Deshaun Watson, are favored by seven 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:42.480 against the Texans. They have over unders for Deshaun Watson, 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:51.839 over under passing touchdowns for Deshaun Watson one and a half. 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.559 That feels like, well, of course you'll go over. He 0:08:56.720 --> 0:09:00.920 should have two touchdowns at least against the Texans. Over 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:06.960 under passing yards two hundred and forty seven and over 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.480 under passing and rushing yards combined two seventy four and 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.959 a half. So Deshaun Watson is coming back and he's 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:17.320 facing his old team, the Texans. Yes, Paul. The weird 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.640 thing about this game there's zero motivation. I mean, the 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:21.839 players obviously want to win, but there's zero motivation for 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:23.800 the franchise to win. You know, you want to beat 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.000 the guy who who left your team, left your team 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:28.959 hanging or whatever you benched. But they're they're trying to 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.520 secure the number one pick right now. The Texans, I think, 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.360 have the first pick. In the fourth pick, they could 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:35.360 redo their whole franchise. You don't, That's not a game 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.520 you want to win. Sunday Night, Jonathan Taylor and Nikolsko 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.640 to Dallas take on Dak Prescott and the Cowboys Sunday 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:48.600 seven Eastern on NBC and Peacock. Kenny Maine reached out 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.599 to me. He's got a podcast called Hey Maine, and 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:55.160 he had Steve Kurr on the Golden State Warriors head coach, 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.280 and he shared a story about the name of one 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.240 of the players that they run the Golden State Warriors, 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:06.440 Phil In Chicago, we had an out of bounds play 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:11.360 called what the And you know, you get to Chicago 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:13.319 and Phil says, all right, let's run what the And 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.319 you know, we're all like, why did you know? Why 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.160 would they call a play? What the? So one day, 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.840 you know, after once I felt comfortable enough, I said, 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:24.400 I said, Phil, why do you call a play what? 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:27.640 He says, well, because Red Holtzman was my coach in 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:30.200 New York and one game, the end of the game, 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:33.120 he pulled us aside and he goes, all right, guys, 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.199 what let's just wrot this and he drew up this 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.280 play and it worked. And so for the rest of 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:45.120 that year, the Knicks called that play what Okay? So 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:49.400 that was like seventy two. We call that play what 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:52.719 right now with the Warriors in twenty twenty four. So 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:56.520 put that thread all the way back to nineteen seventy two. 0:10:57.679 --> 0:10:59.880 That's how the game is connected. You know, it's like 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:05.560 through people, through phrases, through plays, and it's just amazing 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:11.160 to think about. That is Steve Kerr talking to Kenny 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:17.640 Maine on the podcast. Hey Maine, wtf hight, We'll change 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:19.960 the poll question. We're gonna stay, We're gonna gonna see 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:23.199 who's truly American seating. Well, I might reword it to 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.240 try and make it more World Cup friendly and say 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.720 you can only watch sports one of these two days, 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.920 Saturday or Sunday, and I'm gonna see which one wins 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:34.319 there this is or you're desperate Portugal already up on 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:39.079 South Korea by the way. One Walker in Virginia, Hi Walker, 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:43.520 what's on your mind? How did you dan Um first 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:51.040 time caller six foot three, two twenty five. I'm unfortunately 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.120 I was born into it. I'm a Washington commander's fan. 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:59.080 And you know, despite front office gaffs and just terrible 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:03.200 disgraceful statues if you can even call it that, we've 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:07.040 had a pretty respectable season so far. You know, this 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:10.480 is a weekend for us. We've played the Giants on Sunday, 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:15.360 and I know that usually our fan base we kind 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:20.559 of looked towards the coaches and coordinators. So I was wondering, 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.040 or wanted your opinion, rather, what do you think would 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:29.080 happen after this game? Do you think that Steve, I mean, 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:33.880 Jack del Rio, Scott Turner and coach Rivera are gonna 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:37.000 be on the hot seat and high piece to be finished. No. 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.959 I look, I like what Rivera has done, but I 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:44.000 don't know the inner workings of the Commander's coaching staff, 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:46.839 who's going to keep a job, who's on the hot seat. 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:52.679 But I they're competitive, and I think it's easy to 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:57.480 dismiss the Commanders because of the ownership in the front office, 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.680 but you know the product on the feel they've played well. 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:06.160 They're competitive and I said before that I would have 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:10.280 made the switch to Taylor Heineken. He may not be 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:13.319 as talented as Carson Wins, but I know what I'm 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.559 going to get out of him every single game, and 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:21.640 I appreciate that. I like that they played well. Oh yeah, Paul, 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:23.840 it is kind of not I don't know if sad's 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.680 the right word, but the players and coaches who seem 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:28.680 to be nice people over there with the washing Commanders 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:31.720 don't get as many fans, probably rooting from the nationwide 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.120 because of the ownership. Yeah and yeah, they're doing the work, 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:35.760 They're doing all the right stuff, but you never see 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.240 people say what I feel good story the Commanders are, 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:40.959 and Ron Rivera is a feel good story. His health 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:44.160 issues and he always has to do the talking. He 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:46.120 always comes on with us when we ask, no matter 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:47.920 what's going on, he has to answer for his owners. Well, 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:51.000 the owner doesn't talk to anybody and he doesn't have to. 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:52.920 And it feels like whenever he's in trouble he gets 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:54.680 on his yacht and goes to the south of France. 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.360 It's like, let me know when it's okay for me 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.079 to come back. We'll take a break. We'll check in 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:03.160 with the Patriots. Our good buddy Tom Kerran covers the Patriots. 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:06.360 He had a little sideline incident there with Mac Jones. 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.840 Wasn't happy and I'm going to guess he was yelling 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:13.160 at maybe his offensive coordinator. So we'll talk to him 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:19.480 about that. Also, you know, sometimes a speculation turns into 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:24.200 a report and it's not fair to the speculation that 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.040 it becomes a headline about Tom Brady going back to 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:32.360 New England. We will discuss that. We will disassemble that. 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:36.440 Coming up right after this this message brought to you 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:38.480 by Discover.

Be sure 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:11.520 to catch us live every weekday morning nine until noon 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.640 eastern six to nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, and 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:18.200 you can find us on the iHeartRadio app at FSR 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:21.840 or stream us live on the Peacock app. We've had 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:25.200 this discussion too much of a discussion that has to 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:29.520 do with a Christian Polisics injury, but he will play tomorrow. 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:33.400 In fact, at the press conference, Christian Polisic had to 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:38.040 acknowledge what kind of injury, where exactly he suffered the injury. 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:44.280 I mean, it's a pelvic infusion. You know. It's not 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:46.720 a euphemism, Henry, it's what it sounds like. No. But 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.600 at the same time, it's not like I didn't get 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.880 like hitting the balls. But it's not like I'm all right, 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:55.120 I'm all right. It was very painful and it's just 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:57.920 you know, that bone is there for a reason to 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:00.400 protect you, I think, and I hit it well, and 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:03.800 uh it was so. But like I said, I'm getting better. Okay, 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.960 he's good better. Uh. And then there was the controversy 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:11.320 on the pronunciation of khonez, and of course Ross Tucker 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:18.040 called him Jones Jones Jones Israel in California on that topic, 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:23.040 Hi Israel, good morning, Daniel Patricio. When when is the 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:27.920 su So? Yeah, So I'm forty seven now, and I've 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.680 heard this since I was a kid, and I've always 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:33.560 wondered as a kid, like why are they not saying 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:35.920 it correct me? And I mean again, as a kid, 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.480 you don't correct anybody who's saying you know somebody and 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:41.880 somebody bother than you. But the correct way of saying 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:48.440 it is go wholeness ceo jo goholeness, c A j 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:53.080 A is drawers. But like I told your screener, for 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:57.040 some reason, you know other people than Mexicans and Hispanics 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:04.240 always say cahoon, which is not the correct pronunciation. I 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:07.800 wonder that, like, why why have nobody ever ever correated anybody? 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:12.000 All right, we have you just helped America Israel? Thank you? 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:17.040 Cons Is that right? Yes? Spelled c j o n 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:20.840 yes Cohones got that out of the way. That means 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:23.800 we can bring in our good buddy. Tom Curran was 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:27.240 handling pre and post game with the Patriots and he 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:32.280 joins us, the Patriot Insider for NBC Sports Boston. Hey, Tom, Hey, 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:35.520 how are you doing, Dan? I'm good. Hey, it's definitely 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:43.200 not good Jones. Are there any words that New Englanders 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:46.080 say that, you know, slang that we would go? I 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:51.600 don't what you just said? Yeah, um, hey, is there 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:54.720 a bubbler over there? And that means is there a 0:17:54.840 --> 0:18:04.360 water fountain nearby? Oh? Okay a bubbler? Bubbla, okay, bubbla. Yeah. 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:06.399 He was running down the Holly slip and he hit 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:11.080 his face on the bubbla. All right, well, thanks for 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:15.200 coming on, Tom. That was really already have a great December, 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:20.320 so handicapped the Patriots here the next five games and 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:23.280 the possibility of making the playoffs. Then we'll work our 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:25.800 way back to what happened last night. Yeah. I like 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:29.120 that approach. You know. Right now, on paper, they're gonna 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:33.000 play games against Las Vegas and Arizona in the next 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:35.760 two weeks little road trip, and they could very well 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:38.720 win both of those on paper if they play to 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:41.919 the level of their six and six record, and then 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:45.919 they have on Christmas Eve the Cincinnati Bengals, who are 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:48.920 playing really well but have been a little bit checko 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:50.640 and hide themselves this year. So you have a team 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:53.040 who could be nine and six and then close the 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:58.040 season at home with Miami and then on the road 0:18:58.040 --> 0:18:59.880 at Buffalo, and maybe they don't have anything to play, 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:03.960 so conceivably they could be eleven and six. But that 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:08.520 is an ex dreamly rosy outlook for a Patriots team 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:11.520 that just doesn't seem to have the urgency or attention 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.800 to detail or boldness that it used to have and 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:18.680 normally had. But what is missing here? Who's to blame 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:25.480 for the offense? Bill? Because Bill Belichick decided that Josh 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:29.520 McDaniel's leaving was his queue to revamp the offense, to 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:34.199 move away from the very sophisticated and evolved option based 0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:38.720 offense where so much happens after the snap to something 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:42.600 that's more user friendly, which took away a lot of 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:47.399 what mac Jones was good at processing quickly moving the 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:50.800 ball precisely. They also went away from a lot of 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:53.159 the wide zone excuse me, the gap runs that they 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:56.080 had success with, and additionally, in moving away from that, 0:19:56.160 --> 0:20:00.680 they installed somebody to install it who basically does h 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:03.920 VAC and you're asking them to fix your car. It 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:07.080 was a bad idea. And that's where the that's where 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:08.720 the buck stops is with Bill and he said at 0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:10.199 the beginning of the year, well, if it doesn't work 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:13.399 with Matt Patricia, Joe, Judge, blame me. So here we are. 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:18.960 Who is Mac Jones yelling at on the sidelines the world? 0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:24.399 The world is a vampire. He is yelling at the 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:27.680 notion of this timidity that the Patriots have adopted. You know, 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:29.200 there was a period at the beginning of the year 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:31.800 where they wanted Mac Jones to push it down the field. 0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:33.640 We're gonna be more aggressive. We're gonna get chunk plays. 0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:35.720 That's why we have DeVante Parker. We can't be standing 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:38.159 around in a division with Tyreek Hill and Josh Allen 0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:41.679 and scoring seventeen points. We're gonna get chunk plays. They 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:44.879 play the Ravens. He tries for a bunch of chunk plays, 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:47.959 he gets three picks and injured. And since then they 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.800 have just turned into an armadillo. And you saw it 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:53.520 last night. They're afraid of their own shadow in so 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:55.240 many different ways. You see it at the end of 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:57.480 the game, and I think that's Mac just saying, look, 0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:02.119 I'm a pretty good player. We get this. Then they 0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:05.480 have the highest paid in terms of cap space tight 0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:08.600 ends in the league, number one in cap space allocated, 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:14.240 third third in wide receiver cap space allocated in the league. 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:17.200 And then you see that product and you're like, it 0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:24.160 can't necessarily be all on the players. That surprises me. No, yeah, yeah, 0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:27.720 because I could see the frustration with Mac Jones. It's like, 0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:29.959 I want to throw it down field, but who am 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:32.760 I throwing it down field too? It didn't feel like 0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:36.080 there's separation there where you go, Okay, we have like 0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:41.440 who is your playmaker? Jacobe Myers, He said with a 0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:46.840 level of disbelief. Yeah, And that's the thing is they 0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:49.720 don't have a Hill or Tyreek Hill or stuff in 0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:53.080 Stefan Diggs or Justin Jefferson. So what you need to 0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:56.440 do is beat teams with scheme, which is what Josh 0:21:56.520 --> 0:21:59.520 McDaniels is always really really good at doing. You'd see 0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:02.879 guys naked and alone because they had schemed something and 0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:05.560 set something up. Now, they did have Kronk and they 0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:09.960 did have Edelman, who were individually electric players and could separate. 0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:12.800 They don't really have any separators right now, so they 0:22:12.880 --> 0:22:15.320 need to be more on top of things with scheme, 0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:18.600 and Matt is over his head in trying to do that. 0:22:20.119 --> 0:22:23.760 We're talking to Tom Kerran, the Patriots Insider, NBC Sports, Boston. 0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:26.360 I don't know how these stories get started. I don't 0:22:26.359 --> 0:22:31.040 know if it's a speculation, rumor, but Tom Brady, hey, 0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:33.679 maybe we could see him going back to New England. 0:22:33.720 --> 0:22:36.240 Then all of a sudden it became a story. Yeah, 0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:40.720 it became a headline, It became a report. What did 0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:44.280 more more? Very quickly into a report. When I see it, 0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:46.639 seemed to me as if Jeff Howe from the Athletic was, 0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:52.080 you know, dot connecting Brady's contracts up Patriots. He used 0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:54.800 to play there, Why well, hey he could go back, 0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:58.479 well to go back. Bill was already kind of greasing 0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:01.640 the skids to move on from Tom thirty six, at 0:23:01.720 --> 0:23:04.760 forty six, He's gonna bring him back, admit a mistake, 0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:08.520 tell mac Jones to sit down and watch for a year, 0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:11.760 and then Brady's gonna say, well, it was great that 0:23:11.840 --> 0:23:13.639 you wouldn't give me the money that I asked for 0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:15.560 a couple of years ago and made me move it 0:23:15.680 --> 0:23:17.640 up with my family after I begged you to stay. 0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:20.600 Worked out great for me, but I'm gonna say, bygones, 0:23:20.680 --> 0:23:24.200 be bygones, come back, be under your thumb again, even 0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:27.800 though I respect you highly, and play with a team 0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:31.880 with an offensive coordinator who used to be the defensive 0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:36.800
