35
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: I do want to tease that we have a guest

36
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: stopping by later in the podcast to talk MLB. He

37
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: was at the World Series over the weekend in Texas.

38
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: He's gonna preview tonight's Game six, and I will say

39
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a big night in Los Angeles. Um,

40
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: there's a lot of anticipation here Dodgers have not won

41
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: the World Series since. I don't know how the rest

42
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: of the country feels about that. Uh, they probably don't care,

43
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: because I know when the Red Sox were winning their

44
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: first World Series in one hundred years or whatever, I

45
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: didn't care. I was actually upset they were winning. I

46
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: felt a little better for the Cubs. But this is

47
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: a big one because I live in l a um,

48
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: so we'll touch on the World Series later. I do

49
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: want to remind you this week starts the hundred dollar giveaway.

Speaker 1: hundred We will pick them by I Guess Thursday and

57
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: reveal it Friday on the show. All right, let's get

58
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: started with the Chicago Bears. I mean, I just have

59
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: to start here. Um, they're five and two and they

60
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: have a negative point differential negative two. I don't know

61
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: if you guys realize how bad that is. Five wins,

62
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: two losses and you have a negative point differential. And

63
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: I went through the schedule and like you could see

64
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: that this team is fraudulent and I'm not crushing the Bears.

65
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: This is a fact, folks. Five and two. That's great.

66
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: The rest of the schedule has I think at least

67
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: three more wins so they could sneak into the playoffs.

68
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: I would put my money on the Lions. But when

69
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: you look at what happened against the Rams, they were

70
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: never in that game for a second. You could see it.

71
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: The Rams just moved the ball up and down the field.

72
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: The bears only touchdown came on a defensive fluke fumble

73
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: return for for a touchdown. Nick Foles is it's not

74
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: that he's a bad quarterback, is that the offense is unimaginative.

75
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: There's no run game to speak of. The only weapon

76
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: is Allen Robinson and Jalen Ramsey totally locked him down,

77
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: as predicted on this podcast, and the Bears could do nothing.

78
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: I mean, they could not move to football. And what

79
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: was so damning was in the fourth quarter, there was

80
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: like five minutes left and the announcers were just, uh,

81
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: you know, trying to make it interesting during a blowout

82
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: and they just stumble upon Yeah, Nick Foles. You know,

83
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: he told us when we were meeting with him that

84
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: some of these players come in from Aggie and Folds

85
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: knows that he doesn't have the time to execute these

86
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: plays and he knows they're not gonna work. He revealed that.

87
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: I mean, Nick Foles is an outstanding human being. You know,

88
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: if you read up his story, it's pretty great. He

89
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: was basically retired from football. Andy Reid called him, got

90
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: him back in, and Folds eventually ends up in Philadelphia

91
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: wins the Super Bowl. He's like a good guy. He's

92
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: an all around good story and he was probably a

93
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 1: little too honest. And I'm guarantee you this, this clip

94
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: of Nick Foles being honest is gonna reverberate around the

95
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: internet Tuesday today, and it's gonna get ugly. Um Naggi's

96
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: gonna have to answer some difficult questions. And then the

97
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: Bears are heading into a game against the Saints on Sunday,

98
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: and folks, I'm just telling you right now, this is

99
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: the first Saints outdoor game this season. Everybody just watched

100
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: the Bears on national television poop their pants and it

101
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: was ugly. This was like a one year old poopy

102
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: diaper blowout. And I don't know who's going to back

103
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: the Bears here. I don't want to hear all they'll

104
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: rebound all the defense Saints outdoors. Listen, man, I've lost

105
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: enough money the last couple of years fading the Saints outdoors.

106
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: Whether it was Breeze or Bridgewater, there's zero chance I'm

107
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: back in the Bears here. I'll just be straight up

108
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: honest with you. No shot of me coming in on them,

109
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: because I'll say right now, they can't run the football

110
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: and the Saints run defense is excellent. If you watch

111
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: that Panthers game Sunday, Panthers couldn't run the football and

112
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: Davis is a pretty good running back. The Panthers has

113
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: had success on the ground. Bears will not be able

114
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: to move it against the Saints run defense. So then

115
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: it's a question of ken Allen Robinson went on the

116
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: outside against Lattimore, We'll see. I don't have a lot

117
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: of faith now. The Samet defense ain't great. It definitely

118
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: got shredded by Bridgewater. But Bridgewater had the familiarity. He

119
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: was in the New Orleans system. He knew the players,

120
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: he knew the schemes. That was an advantage for Teddy

121
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: b We we gave that out. They covered seven fairly

122
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: easily within the number, second, third, fourth quarter. I don't

123
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: think Nick Foles is going to have that kind of

124
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: success against the Samet defense. And I'm expecting at some

125
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: point Michael Thomas will return right. Um. I don't know

126
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: if Emmanuel Sandras will be back off the COVID list,

127
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: But um, I think this is a Bear spot Sunday

128
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: to to really look ugly and be like, oh wait

129
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: a second, we got problems in Chicago. And then let

130
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: me just double check the schedule after the Saints. If

131
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: they don't win that game, then they have a huge

132
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: game against the Titans, which is gonna be difficult. Um, listen,

133
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: it does not get any easier for these guys. Oh

134
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: my goodness. Yeah, it's the Chicago Bears are gonna have

135
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: an uphill climbed to the playoffs. Remember that they do

136
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: have to play the Lions again. They got super lucky,

137
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: and let's look at their wins. I know they have

138
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: five wins. Well, Jason, they're not that bad. The Lions

139
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: led twenty six in the fourth quarter and then their

140
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: three starting cornerbacks left the game due to injury. Trubisky

141
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: gets hot bing bang boom um, Bears win the game.

142
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: Then the Bears have uh the Giants say Kwon Barkley

143
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: gets hurt halfway through that and they squeaked by the Giants.

144
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: The Giants I think Daniel Danny Dimes got stuck inside

145
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: the red zone at the end of the game. He

146
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: couldn't convert um. Then they play the Falcons. I think

147
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: Julio Jones missed that game, and the Falcons still led

148
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: with seven minutes left. Nick Foles comes in for an

149
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: ineffective Drabinsky and in the final seven minutes the Bears

150
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: storm back to get a lucky victory. Then they played

151
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Bucks, who Tom Brady went into that

152
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: game with a hand tied behind his back. Okay, I

153
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: mean no, God would they were missing everybody and Tampa's

154
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: winning thirteen nothing like in the first half. Cruising to victory.

155
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: Bears get a touchdown and then Tampa has a fluke

156
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: fumble inside their own thirty and the Bears score and

157
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: then it's you know, a slug fest the rest of

158
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: the way. The Bears had one drive over sixty yards

159
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: against that Tampa defense. That's it this This team can't

160
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: move the football and this is just not a good

161
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears team. I am a big seller in Chicago.

162
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: Now a word about the Rams. Everybody thinks they're awesome,

163
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: and I like, there's a lot to like about McVeigh.

164
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: He is a very sharp guy. They're wins, Okay. The

165
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: Rams have beaten so far this season, the windless Cowboys,

166
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: they beat the downtrodden Eagles, they beat the Terrible Giants,

167
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: they whooped the terrible Redskins, and now they've beaten the

168
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: fraudulent Bears. They're going to Miami for their fourth trip

169
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: across the country on a short week. They're facing a

170
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: quarterback who has two NFL throws under his belt. To

171
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: a tongue, MALOA I like to I do like saying

172
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: that name. Miami cannot stop the run. They came into

173
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,479
Speaker 1: this week thirty second in the league and rushing efficiency

174
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: defense the Rams are first. So on paper, ah, Rams

175
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: are gonna steamroll these guys, just be careful. Miami has

176
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: gotten healthy in the secondary and they have lockdown corners

177
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: in Howard and Byron Own who they stole from the Cowboys.

178
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: This is a Miami team that can probably put those

179
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: two guys on an island cram the box and bum

180
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: rush Jared Goff. They're gonna have to blitz because God

181
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: will pick them apart. They you know, the linebackers aren't

182
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: great in coverage and the defensive line is a joke.

183
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm gonna be at the right number.

184
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: I think I would lean into the Dolphins. I like

185
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: this Rams team, but man, that schedule. Could they be

186
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: overlooking the Dolphins on this trip east? Because guess what

187
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: after that Seahawks, big time rivals after that, Tampa Bay

188
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: and Brady after that, Forty Niners after that, Cardinals. If anything,

189
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: this Dolphins is a game that they could overlook. I'm

190
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: not saying it will, but early and I'm not giving

191
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: out a pick here, It's way too early in the week,

192
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: But I'm looking at the Dolphins. Uh coming out of

193
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: the by so overall that was a pretty ugly Monday

194
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: night football game. And uh yeah, I just can't get

195
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: behind this Bears team. I can't there. They are a

196
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: tough watch. I don't know, rob G, did you see

197
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: anything from the Bears that you liked. Nick Foles is

198
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: just a guy to root for, but he's not a

199
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: guy to watch. Yeah, I mean, I've never really been

200
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: a big believer in Nick Foles, even when he was

201
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: winning Super Bowls with the Eagles. You know, he got

202
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: hot at the right time, and we've seen a lot

203
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: of guys do that. My question though, for you is

204
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: and we didn't prep this, so this is really out

205
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: of nowhere for anyone listening. You know, there was no

206
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: show prep going into this question. Now. You brought up

207
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: during our meeting earlier that the Bears are five and

208
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: two despite having a negative point differential. There are two

209
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: other teams who are both five and two that also

210
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: have negative point differentials. Whoa the bit? Well, the Bears

211
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: first and minus two, so they're not so close too

212
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: far away. The Bills which are minus four, WHOA, I

213
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: did not realize. And the Cleveland Browns, who are a

214
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: minus twenty one and they just lost Odell Beckham Jr.

215
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: For the season. Of those three, which one are you

216
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: most and least confident in moving forward? Well, I would

217
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 1: say the Buffalo bill simply because the a f C.

218
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: East is garbage. Um, listen, that the New England Patriots

219
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: are are a terrible football team, right now, Um, the

220
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: season does not look good for the Patriots. I mean,

221
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: I feel bad for Robert Kraft. I know he was

222
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: looking forward to a happy ending this season. Um, now

223
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: that Tom Brady has gone, and um we know his

224
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: legal issues down there in Florida. UM, I just don't

225
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: see how there's a path to victory for this Patriots team.

226
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a kitchen sink Sunday for Belichick against

227
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: the Bill will probably be able to run the football.

228
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: But I looked this up, Rob G, and this is

229
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: pretty staggering. Okay, Um, the Patriots got torn apart by

230
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: play action and Jimmy Garoppolo on Sunday. I read the

231
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: stat The d Niners ran fifty one of sixty three

232
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: plays with play action, the highest they've run ever under

233
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan. Jimmy Garoppolo on play action fourteen hundred forty

234
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: six yards. So they found a weakness play action and

235
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: exploited it. Rob G. Do you want to take a

236
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: guess who has completed and attempted the most play action

237
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: passes in the NFL this season? Josh Allen Bengo. Josh

238
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: Allen is number one in completions in play action eight

239
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: t d passes zero picks. This is shaping up as

240
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo statement game. They didn't care about the Jets. We

241
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: gave that on the podcast. You we said they're gonna

242
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: overlook the Jets. They have the Patriots looming. That is there.

243
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: We have arrived. This is our freaking division Audios, Bill Belichick,

244
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: this is the game they want to put it on them.

245
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if they'll be fans in the stadium,

246
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you right now, buff Below hasn't been

247
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 1: anticipating this game. I don't know if two decades is fair,

248
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: but it's probably been two decades. I mean, everybody's been

249
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: waiting dig Dong, which is dead. If there's ever a

250
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: game that Buffalo runs up the score. I don't know

251
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: if they're capable of like at t blowout, but I'm

252
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: sure they're gonna want to beat that ass and win

253
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: this game big time. I would trust Buffalo the most

254
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: going forward, and I can't say that I'm not surprised

255
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: at Cleveland given the blowout losses to the Rams and

256
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: the Sorry Ravens and the Steelers, um. But I will

257
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: say this, things look good for the Browns, Rob G.

258
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: People can doubt them but they have your Raiders this week.

259
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: If they get by them, they play the Texans, they

260
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: should be favored in that game. They play the Eagles

261
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: at home, they go to Jacksonville for the pathetic Jags,

262
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: and then they have Titans Ravens, which is tough. But

263
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: then they have Giants and Jets after that. So I

264
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: think the Browns are looking at nine wins in the playoffs.

265
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: I will take the Bills in the playoffs, the Browns

266
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and the Bears will miss the playoffs.

267
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with my Lions. So that's a good

268
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: fine by you. This clip is brought to you by

269
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,440

Speaker 1: quote today if you could talk to me a little

277
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: bit about the process you went through. And I think

278
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: it's good to not pat yourself on the back, but

279
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: to put it out there so other people can kind

280
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: of hear what it takes like I don't know. I

281
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: always look at like this, like what do I want?

282
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: I wanted to be at w w WE superstar, all right,

283
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,680

Speaker 1: are the tools I will need to give me every

285

Speaker 1: possible opportunity I can get? And so I took the

286
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: tools of acting classes, improv classes, wrestling school, everything I

287
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: possibly can to knock on the door of WW. The

288
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: people of the everyone on that Real World show would

289
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: wear my T shirts would always ask me is like

290
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,680

333
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: is why you're great. Hey, you mentioned Odell Beckham. I

334
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: hadn't planned on talking about him. Um, we touched on

335
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: it a little bit on Monday's show. We didn't know

336
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: that he was officially out. We kind of anticipated it. Um.

337
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 1: Is it weird of me to say it's not that

338
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: big of a loss. No, it's not weird it all

339
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: to say, because if you do a deep dive into

340
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 1: the numbers, you'll see that Baker Mayfield, for whatever reason,

341
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: plays better without Odell Beckham Jr. Now, you could say

342
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: it's probably because, and I think Colin brought this up

343
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: yesterday in his show, when you have a young quarterback

344
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: and a star receiver, most young quarterbacks don't have the

345
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: testicular fortitude to, you know, just say no, I'm not

346
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: gonna throw you the ball every time. I'm not gonna

347
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: target you even when you're covered. I'm gonna look for

348
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: the open guy. I'm just gonna take what the defense

349
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: gives me. A lot of wide receiver, especially with young quarterbacks,

350
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: will demand they get the ball or they're kind of

351
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: intimidate the quarterback into making them feel like they have

352
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: to get them the ball to keep them happy. And

353
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: just there you'll appreciate this. That here in the last

354
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: two seasons with Odell on the field, Baker Mayfield's quarterback

355
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: rating is seventy nine point six. So that is either,

356
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: depending how you want to read it, extremely mediocre or

357
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 1: slightly mediocre. So somewhere wherever you want to do when

358
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: oh b J Is off the field, once sixteen point six,

359
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: so almost forty points better. When he's on off the

360
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: f and then uh, you know, and then the last

361
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: game he played, he played with the Bengals. Now again

362
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: he started over five and got really hot. But it

363
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 1: wasn't just that one game against the Bengals that that

364
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 1: Baker has done well without oh b J. Without O'Dell

365
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: on the field against the Bengals in the last six games,

366
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: completion nine yards, twelve touchdown, zero picks. When O'Dell is

367
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: on the field with him, fifty percent completions six hundred yards,

368
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: five touchdowns, seven interceptions. Listen to man, this bad look

369
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 1: for Baker. I'll keep it real though, you know, we

370
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: don't have um Are they getting blown out? Are they

371
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: facing the Ravens? Did he miss games against bad teams?

372
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: Like obviously that stuff matters in the context, but yeah,

373
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: none of that stuff surprises me. I mean, listen, the

374
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals made the smart move, rob g. They went

375
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: and got new co Hopkins. They got him from the Texans.

376
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: He's an awesome wide receiver and he's not a diva

377
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: like Odell Beckham or Antonio Brown or um Michael Thomas

378
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: who's apparently becoming a diva in New Orleans. Like give

379
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: give me the good dude who's an awesome receiver, who's

380
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: not gonna cry about the football, And like, you know,

381
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: you look at NFL like this is it's almost somebody

382
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 1: had an analogy to me. I forget who said it.

383
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: But if you have a like a social media company

384
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 1: or a tech company, now it helps you to be

385
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: a carnival barker, like an Elon Musk. You're always keeping

386
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: Tesla in the news. Mark Zuckerberg always in his own

387
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 1: carnival barker way, keeping Facebook in the news. Um, it's

388
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: like Pinterest doesn't have one of these guys who's always

389
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,479
Speaker 1: ruffling feathers and saying stuff. So Pinterest has kind of

390
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: fallen down. But um, if you are able to just

391
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: say stuff and stir up news and keep your name

392
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 1: in the headlines, it's like you have some value. And

393
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: I think the receivers see it that way too, if

394
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: they're always saying something, Hey, that's gonna help me get

395
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: that Nike contract. Hey, that's gonna help me get that commercial.

396
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: And you know, you look at some of the receivers

397
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: at the top of the league. Remember Stefon Diggs last

398
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: year was whining and bitching and crying about not getting

399
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: the ball from Kirk Cousins and tantrumming on the sideline.

400
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: They ship his ass out of town. And like, I mean,

401
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: Stefan Digs good receiver. Now he's like blowing up in Buffalo.

402
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: I got what I wanted. But guess what, rob things

403
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: are going well in Buffalo. How's it gonna go with

404
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: the three game losing street for Stefan Diggs. How's he

405
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: gonna handle that? And I don't know, you just you

406
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: gotta be careful with these wide receivers like Terry McLaurin.

407
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 1: Seems like an awesome kid out of Ohio State. I

408
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: don't hear anything I would be looking to pick him off.

409
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm sure Whyhington is that giving him up?

410
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: But I want the guy who's silent and he's gonna

411
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: go about his business. Larry Fitzgerald Class Act forever. You know,

412
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: that's the kind of receiver I went. Davante Adams doesn't

413
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 1: cause any any buccus. He's not Raisin Hell. I'm sorry,

414
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: just miss me with Odell Beckham, I'm not that interested.

415
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: So that those are kind of the top line stories

416
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: in sports today for Tuesday, October. Coming up next, we

417
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,000

418

419
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: previews Game six. That's now. These days, it can be

420

00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: What's up? Jack? How are you? I'm awesome, dude. A

462
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: great weekend in sports, UM and the World Series Game

463
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: six tonight Tuesday night. Very excited Rob. First of all,

464
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: I want I'm curious, how was the experience of being

465
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: in the ballpark for the World Series down there in Texas?

466
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: You know what? First of all, Global Life Field is

467
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,239
Speaker 1: a show place. Beautiful. Uh, they had to do it.

468
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: They needed the dome. I'm surprised they couldn't put a

469
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: dome on the old ballpark, you know, which was it

470
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: is less than twenty years old. I think it's only

471
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: ten years old. But they needed a dome because it's

472
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: too hot in Texas to sit out. And you know

473
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: what I mean. A parents aren't gonna take young kids

474
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: to the ballpark and that heat outside, and older people

475
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: can't go either, you know what I mean, So you

476
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: you eliminate a lot of people. So they had to

477
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: build a new ballpark. It's beautiful and it was great

478
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: to be out, you know, at a game, and even

479
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: though it's only twenty capacity, there was still passionate fans

480
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: chance of let's go Dodgers. Obviously a lot of Dodger

481
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: fans because l A so close compared at the Tampa.

482
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: So there were a lot of Dodger people in the

483
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: house and people were into it. And obviously Game four

484
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: with the crazy ending was incredible as well. You know,

485
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: you don't see a game end like that. Uh So,

486
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: so it was a great experience. Like I got to

487
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: see games three, four, and five out in uh in Allington.

488
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, how how did you feel

489
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: from from the COVID perspective of going to a game

490
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: in a park? You said, what capacity? It was like

491
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: thou people? Okay, so twelve thousand people obviously spaced out.

492
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: Uh it looked like people were wearing masks. What was

493
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: it like in the press box for you? Did you

494
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: have to wear a mask in the press box? Did

495
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: they do temperature checks? Temperature checks to get in the building,

496
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: and then you did have to wear a mask. Everybody

497
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: had to wear a mask at all times unless you're

498
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: eating or drinking other than that, And you know what,

499
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, I thought Okay, I'm going to Texas.

500
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: Their rogue. They don't believe in the bod, know what

501
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: I mean? Like that was my thought going in right,

502
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 1: most people had our mask. I didn't see people like

503
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: trying to buck the system, you know what I mean?

504
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: Or or or or act as if anything wasn't going on.

505
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 1: Uh you know. I went out to eat. The restaurants

506
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: to open at a minimum capacity, so I ate with

507
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: a couple of friends. Tables were spaced out, everybody was

508
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: acting accordingly, so it was cool. It was I really

509
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 1: felt comfortable, not like this is kind of risky and

510
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: I don't want to catch something before we get to

511
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: the games. One last question. I haven't flown during the pandemic.

512
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: We are considering flying for the holidays or family flying

513
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: to US. I'm just curious what you thought the flighting

514
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: experience was like. Uh, here, same thing. I've flown a

515
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: few times. Um during this I went to New York,

516
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: I went to Detroit, and uh, this trip to Texas.

517
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna play like three or four times during

518
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: the pandemic and it's spaced out normally, you're not on

519
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: top of each other. Most airlines and people have their

520
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: masks on if you have your mask on and you're

521
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: no one's reason and off and on top of you

522
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: knock on wood. You know, I've gone and been back

523
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: and everything has been cool, So I'm not that afraid.

524
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,959
Speaker 1: I think it's more of if I was around an

525
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: environment where people weren't wearing masks and just a free

526
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: for all, and you're in a massive crowd. The airport's

527
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: just don't like that anymore, you know what I mean,

528
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: Because most people are like you, they're just haven't flown. Yeah,

529
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: all right, so let's get to the World Series Dodgers

530
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: lead three too, and I want to start with a

531
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: guy who's much maligned, Clayton Kershaw. I read your column

532
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: in dead Spin on Monday. Great stuff, and it feels

533
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: good for Kershall. The Monkeys kind of office back. Obviously, listen,

534
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: they gotta win the series. But he's too and oh,

535
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna win the m V people.

536
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: He's certainly in the discussion with a couple other guys.

537
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: I'm just curious, like, let's and I know you're not

538
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: supposed to pick a site as a journalist, but you

539
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: gotta admit it is a great story that Clayton Kershaw

540
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: came through twice in the World Series for the Dodgers,

541
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: no doubt, and especially Game five because Jason, I know,

542
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: Game one he pitched well, but Game five, coming off

543
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: that heartbreaking loss, if Kerkshaw goes out and and and

544
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: pitches a Doug right, the Dodgers behind, and they're really

545
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: in trouble and his legacy is really in the balance.

546
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: So you're right, he pitched really well in Game five,

547
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: got them to where they're in position. They just gotta

548
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: win one of the final two games, and it's like

549
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: it's not on him anymore. I mean, you know what

550
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: I mean, unless somehow he pitches Game seven in relief

551
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: and gives up the game winning home run or something like.

552
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: I hope that's not the case. He's the best picture

553
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: about generation, and when you look at his numbers, he's

554
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: a shoeing Hall of Famer. This guy's e r ray

555
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: is two point four four. He has the lower e

556
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: r ray and the lowest whip of any picture starting picture,

557
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: thousands and things of more. You know in the live

558
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: ball era, nobody's pitch better, but his postseason Jason has

559
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: been so bad. His e r rays two runs higher

560
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: in the postseason and that that's that, you know, for

561
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: a great picture like that, that's incredible. It'll be that bad.

562
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: Let me ask you about the the m v P discussion.

563
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: So obviously Corey Seeger's in the mix. I mean, he's

564
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: on fire. Um. I think Max Munsey is in the

565
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: discussion with six RBI justin Turners hit. Well, Um, let's

566
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: see what happens with Walker Bueller next time out. But

567
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: I'm just curious your thoughts on the m v P

568
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: heading into Game six. I think it's wide open, and

569
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: it just depends on what the game, what Game six is.

570
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: If it's just kind of mundane and nobody's like Segre

571
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: doesn't have to home runs or do you know what

572
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: I mean, or something like that, could crush shall get

573
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: it two wins, you know, like a sentimental choice, could

574
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: you know, like a lifetime achievement. That could because he's

575
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: been through a lot um um. But it just depends

576
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: on how the game's playout. Obviously, if they lose Game

577
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: six and then there's a Game seven and somebody delivers

578
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: a big hit and they've been hitting the whole World Series,

579
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: the chances are it's gonna go to somebody like that,

580
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: because it'll be so removed from you know, the final

581
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: two games, even though he pitched well in Game five.

582
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: All right, So you know, I know there was a

583
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: lot of talk during the NBA bubble about, wow, there

584
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: maybe should be an asterix because it wasn't real, and

585
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: I strangely haven't heard a lot about asterix. For the

586
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: MLB season, it was shortened to sixty regular season games

587
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: and the playoffs there was no home field advantage. I'm

588
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: sure some people are gonna say, listen, Dodgers haven't once

589
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: and say eight this one does it really count? But

590
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: I haven't heard that chatter. What are your thoughts on

591
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: the asterisks and and this postseason. I don't believe in them.

592
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: I don't believe in it for the NBA, and I

593
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: don't believe in it for baseball, hockey or whatever. These

594
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: are uncharted warders, Jason. This is what we have in

595
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: front of us, right. Everybody's under the same circumstance. Everybody

596
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: did the same thing, so it counts. When we look back,

597
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: we'll realize. Okay, this was a sixty game season. The

598
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: Dodgers were forty three and seventeen. They had the best

599
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: record in baseball so if they won the World Series,

600
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: this is not like a fluke Like had Houston had

601
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: a record under five hundred, had they got in and

602
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: somehow won the World Series, you know, without Garrett Cole

603
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: or Justin Burletta, people might say, oh, that was just

604
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: flukey or something. The Dodgers are the best team on paper,

605
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: and they're in the spot that they're supposed to be.

606
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: It's funny because in baseball, both teams were the two

607
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: best teams as far as record wise raised in the

608
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: American League in the Dodgers in the Nationals. So where

609
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: where do you think baseball goes from here? Rob? I mean,

610
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: do they really want to keep up the one hundred

611
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: and sixty two games? I mean the sprint to sixty?

612
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: Obviously they're not gonna do sixty games because the money.

613
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 1: But do you think eventually they shortened the season a

614
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 1: little bit? Because I don't. I was way more into

615
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: the baseball regular season and postseason than I have been

616
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: in years. I get that, but I don't. I don't

617
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: see that happening only because Jason, the money you just mentioned,

618
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: the television money for local like like you, people make

619
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: a big thing about the national like you. You look

620
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: at the TV deals. Just for an example, the Yankees.

621
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: Do you do you know what they get for the

622
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: TV rights? All right, they get four hundred million dollars

623
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 1: from yes every year four you know what I'm yeah,

624
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: So two million goes to pay roll. Two hundred million

625
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: go on their pocket and that's before they sold a ticket,

626
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: a hot dog, a parking spot. Do you know what

627
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: money that is? I just can't see them. The one

628
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:05,280
Speaker 1: thing I'm hoping against is the six team team playoff.

629
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: That's what I don't want to see in baseball is

630
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: what you don't want to do is you don't want

631
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: to minimalize, uh, the regular season, and you know you

632
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: see that in the NBA where you just kind of

633
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: wait for the playoffs and with a hundred and sixty

634
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: two games, you don't want people to be like, I'll

635
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 1: check in come playoff time. I mean, there's a lot

636
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: of games that have to be that's gonna be played.

637
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: And we saw a couple of teams get in the

638
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: playoffs who are under five hundred. I don't think teams

639
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: that that don't play well enough during the regular season

640
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: should make the playoffs. Well, wait, do you believe that

641
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: in all sports? I mean in the NFL, listen, we

642
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: love the regular season, but you know your your favorite

643
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: line is, you know sports has a short menu, wins

644
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 1: and losses. What matters in in the playoffs count. Nobody

645
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: really cares about the regular season. But too short. No,

646
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,240
Speaker 1: but the difference is a hundred and sixty two games.

647
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: You can't make the meaningless, is what I'm saying. If if, if,

648
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: if we know the Yankees, Dodgers, you know, sixteen teams,

649
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: and we could easily pick sixteen teams, and we know

650
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: they're going to be in the World Series. I could

651
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: check in come September. Seriously, I don't know that going in.

652
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: I just think I don't want it to be ridiculous.

653
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: We're more than half the league makes the playoffs. I

654
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: think you have that problem in the NBA. You've seen

655
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 1: the TV numbers. I know there's a lot of different reasons,

656
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,760
Speaker 1: but a lot of times people wait and check income

657
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: playoff time because the playoffs are so long, it's a

658
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: second season. Well, the NFL just expanded, they added a

659
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: playoff team. They're up to that. There was nothing wrong

660
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: with the NFL playoffs. That's just greed for more money.

661
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: I just but who's but but but Rob, that's the thing, Like,

662
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: is it really great because the fans love more games?

663
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: Like think about it, we were complaining there were no

664
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: sports for like three months, and now like the NFL,

665
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: we love this. I don't want it to end. I

666
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: love the season. Oh we get an extra playoff game? Yes? Great,

667
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: you know, like, let's go there, Laning. I'm just saying,

668
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: I just it just depends. Everybody's saying that until some

669
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 1: bad teams get in the team's under five hundred. I

670
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: just don't think there was anything wrong. You don't have

671
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: to just overdo it. If that's the case to make it.

672
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: Let everybody go to the playoffs. You can't let everybody, okay, right,

673
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: I mean the league for right, what is the NBA

674
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: sixteen out of thirty, NFL NFLS fourteen out of thirty two,

675
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: and what what's baseball? Uh? Normally ten? Right? I mean

676
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: that's a big difference. Six extra teams. All I'm saying

677
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: is with ten, you gotta fight for that during the

678
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 1: regular season. The games are worths more, that's all. But

679
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: don't you think on some level it was much cooler

680
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: to have the Miami Marlins in there this year? And

681
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: who do we get We got white Sox, a lot

682
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: of new teams, new blood as opposed to the same

683
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 1: old Yankees astros. Don't you know? No, there was something different.

684
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: I'm not totally but but I just don't want it

685
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 1: to get where the regular season is minimalized. That's all

686
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: I think. That's les. Let me quickly get in a

687
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: couple of NFL questions for you before you got to

688
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: go here. So, Um, Tom Brady has eighteen touchdowns and

689
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 1: four interceptions. The Patriots quarterbacks have combined for three touchdowns

690
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: and picks. Um, Why is New England so bad? Is

691
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: this Bill Belichick's ego? Or was Tom Brady so good

692
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 1: that he carried him last year to twelve wins? No?

693
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: I don't think there was that. It's a lot of

694
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,879
Speaker 1: different issues. They had six players from COVID. How many

695
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: starters who opted out? Let's just be fair. Um, if

696
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 1: you asked, If you asked and look at the receiving corps,

697
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: who's really there. Uh, that's a that's an All Pro receiver.

698
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: There's nobody there. Cam was doing it with strings and

699
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: tape early on, but I think teams have figured it

700
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: out now that there's really nobody else from to to

701
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 1: go to and and struggle. I mean, and he can't

702
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: throw three picks. He threw three picks. When you throw

703
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: three picks, it's gonna be hard. Hey, you put your

704
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: defense in a in a bad spot, right, and then offensively,

705
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: just stop and drive. So we'll see, we'll see how

706
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: this thing pans out. And if they get more players.

707
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 1: I'm surprised, well you know that that they needed to

708
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: look the two guys who were available, right, Josh Gordon

709
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: and Antonio Brown receivers have already played there and already

710
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: kind of gone and went, so there's no room for

711
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:34,359
Speaker 1: them to kind of go back there. I mean last

712
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: year Brady was basically throwing the Edelman and those jokers.

713
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: I know he had Josh Gordon for a couple of

714
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: games in Antonio Brown for a couple of games, but

715
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,919
Speaker 1: by and large, like Belichick, remember he never replaced Gronkowski.

716
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, grunk left, Okay, we don't need to

717
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: replace him. And he didn't go out and spend money

718
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: on receivers. I don't know, man. Listen, remember Belichick was

719
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: ready to roll with Stidham as his starter, and then

720
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,439
Speaker 1: he's like, okay, we'll take on camp. Like Rob, we've

721
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: seen these guys. They don't look good seven weeks in.

722
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: I gotta keep it real. This is feeling like the

723
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: whole discussion we talked about for years. Who meant more

724
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: Brady or Belichick. I'm starting to lean toward Brady. Rob. No,

725
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 1: I'm not. I still think that when you look at it,

726
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: and you gotta wait and see, let the Brady thing

727
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: play out before you make that. But Brady went to

728
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: a way better situation and just that there were a

729
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: lot of pieces already in place. He's trying to stack

730
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: the deck. Brady is like he's doing a Lebron Like

731
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 1: it's all about like he he understands where he is

732
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,399
Speaker 1: and he wants to make sure that he has every

733
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: lending for net. Let's go grab him, Antonio Brown, Let's go.

734
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: But he could have grabbed those guys. No, I know,

735
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: but but this is a Brady thing. Brady is really

736
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: trying to uh convince people that it's all about him.

737
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: But look at the team that he's that wait a

738
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: sacon No, let let's not go. Let's not go too

739
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: hard on Brady. That the team is pretty damn good.

740
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: The Bucks haven't made the playoffs in third and it

741
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: was twelve years's talking about the player, the personnel, you

742
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: could you can I agree with that. The players haven't

743
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: they haven't made the playoffs because they were discipline and

744
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: was garbage. Right, There's other stuff going on, but um,

745
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 1: I do believe that the roster of potential. All they

746
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: talk about his weapons and he added a couple other

747
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: guys who if they, you know, fly right and just

748
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: play football, can be big time pieces. That's all. Yeah,

749
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 1: I mean, listen right now, there's no better team in

750
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 1: the NFC. You would agree with that, right, m hmm.

751
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: They're better than the Saints, They're better than the Seahawks. Packers.

752
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: They're not better than the Packers. They just beat the package.

753
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: Had a bad day at the office, and you know

754
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 1: that it was tend nothing and then all of a sudden,

755
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers had two picks, which he never does, and

756
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: all of a sudden everything came undone. I'm not buying that.

757
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: The Packers came right back after that. People were trying

758
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: to say, oh, this is a trend, Aaron. It was

759
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: just they went straight to Houston twenty one nothing. They

760
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: picked up where they left off. All I'm saying, isn't

761
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: they got they gotta They run the football and they

762
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: throw the football. Aaron Rodgers has uh what does he

763
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: have of uh, seventeen touchdowns two picks. They're playing well,

764
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: they're averaging other than that, other than that one done

765
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: in in in Tampa. And remember even when they lost that, Jason,

766
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,320
Speaker 1: just to be fair, they have won eleven straight regular

767
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: season games. They were due for a bad day at

768
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 1: the office and they had it. Wow, I gotta be honest,

769
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,800
Speaker 1: I'm surprised. This is the Packers team who's beating nobody,

770
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: who did and who? What's it called beating? Well, Tampa

771
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: just smoked green Bay for sure. They lost team game

772
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,760
Speaker 1: that that's the only game that they won. And even

773
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,919
Speaker 1: when green Bay in the early early games you didn't

774
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: know Minnesota was bad, they beat Minnesota in Minnesota. You

775
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: at that point you can't say that that was an

776
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 1: easy win. Minnesota at Minnesota to start the season is

777
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: not a layout. And what was the other game that

778
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: they won? Um, there was another one where the team

779
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: later on turn I mean to beat the Falcons. You know,

780
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm surprised you're all up on this

781
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 1: Packers team who's the best team in the a f

782
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:25,240
Speaker 1: C right now, Steelers, Ravens, Chiefs probably Steelers. Yeah, okay,

783
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:29,399
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. I mean, She's are good

784
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,760
Speaker 1: and the Ravens are good. They're gonna be there. But

785
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 1: but I think I think where where the Steelers are

786
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,399
Speaker 1: right now, what they were able to do even though

787
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: they gave up up they didn't give up the lead,

788
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: but they almost choked down that game yesterday. But they're

789
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: undefeated and they're putting up points and they got a

790
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: good defense. Yeah alright, So, uh, Rob Parker, I'm glad
