1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,559 Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up? 2 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: Straight Fire? Fam, It's me Jason McIntyre Straight Fire for Tuesday, 3 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 1: January four two. I think I've fixed the audio problems. 4 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: Had a couple of complaints and Rob g the great 5 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: technical wizard that he is, told me to hit a 6 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: couple of buttons and pooh. I think we're good to go. Um, 7 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: but hopefully it'll be better than Baker Mayfield, who was 8 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: an abomination on Monday Night football. Unspeakably bad. He was 9 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: sacked nearly a dozen times. I mean through a bunch 10 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: of interceptions. I think it was one or two. Um, 11 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: it was just I know this was a celebration, a 12 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: coronation if you will have Ben Roethlisberger, who was equally bad. 13 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: I think he had a hundred and twenty three yards passing. 14 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: Yet the guy's doing a victory lap. I mean, like, 15 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: I get it's his last game whatever, but he reminded 16 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: me of how bad Peyton Manning was when they won 17 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl against the Panthers. Remember the Super Bowl, 18 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: Peyton goes out on top, but all anybody remembers his afterwards. 19 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,199 Speaker 1: Cam Newton was so ticked off. He's meeting with the media, 20 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: has his hood pulled over, He's like not wanting to 21 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: talk to him, and storms off in the middle. That 22 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 1: was all I remember from that Super Bowl. It was 23 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: so ugly, but Peyton was bad in that and the 24 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: defense carried him. This wasn't even the defense carrying Pittsburgh. 25 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's the They sacked Baker I think 26 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: nine times. But this was Baker being terrible. Um, you 27 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: can't come away from this game with anything other than 28 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: Holy hell. The Browns have a major situation at quarterback, Like, 29 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: I don't know how you could go into next season confidence. 30 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: So what does Baker do afterward when asked about how 31 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: bad he played, I'm getting surgery in the off season. Yeah, 32 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: that's gonna fix everything, dude, that's the solution, Baker. You 33 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: just got a surgery. If everything's gonna be fine, you 34 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: know it's gonna it's gonna fix your release. I mean, 35 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: how many balls he had backed down in the first quarter? 36 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: You know, I thought this was a Kyler Murray thing. 37 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's a short quarterback. His balls are not getting 38 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,919 Speaker 1: batted down. It was just a really poor performance from Baker. 39 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: And yes, I'm a tad extra salty because my son 40 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: did not get eleven points from Nick Chubb in the 41 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: Fantasy Championship. And I know you don't care about Fantasy. 42 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: I get it. Um it hurt though, you know, I 43 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: mean Nick chubbing like the third carry appeals off a 44 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,119 Speaker 1: thirty yard run. You're like, all right, we got this, 45 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: you know, And they gave him like five more car 46 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: resorce to the game. So I had to pick up 47 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: the fan from the airport. They fly back from the trip, 48 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: and um, you know, first question my son. He you know, 49 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: I got them Apple watches for Christmas. No, we're not 50 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: getting phones for the kids. And he texted me how 51 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: is Fantasy? I just like, don't reply. Um, you know, 52 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 1: and you meet him at the airpoint and that I'm 53 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: talking about everything other than Fantasy, and then finally I 54 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: have to cave and answer. He was in good spirits. 55 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: You know. It's disappointing, but he made the championship in 56 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: his first year in this league where he's in two leagues, 57 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: one that I kind of was a commissioner of. He 58 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: was off to an awesome start in that one, and 59 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: then we had a couple of injuries. The bottom fell 60 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: out and it was awful. Um that was for money, 61 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: and this other one is where the trophy and they 62 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: engrave your name. I don't know yet if um they 63 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: engraved the second play the runner up, Probably not, but 64 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: uh yeah, fantasy stunk. Now. I did gamble on this game, 65 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: which is a bit of a saving grace, but it 66 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: was one of those bets where you make it and 67 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: then a quarter and you're like, oh, I'm toast. So 68 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: I had Steelers in the contest, but when you saw 69 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: the Browns eliminated, the total started to go up because 70 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: you figured that neither side is gonna play much defense. 71 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: Steelers are gonna run it. Weren't away with it, but 72 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: the Browns should score easily on this terrible Steelers d 73 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: So I and I broke major rules here. I'm just 74 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: like grasping at straws because I didn't really want to 75 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: bet the Steelers because I stink, and I didn't want 76 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: to bet them lose and lose in the contest. So 77 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: I teased the Steelers to like plus three, and I 78 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: teased the total from forty three down to thirty seven. 79 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: But of course there's like no points, no offense. I'm like, oh, 80 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: this is terrible and nausea. Harris breaks off the touchdown 81 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: run and I thought he was gonna go down and 82 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: they were gonna take a knee and ended and you 83 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: know they're chasing him and he dives in. I was like, yes, 84 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: find a victory. Now. If you bet the total for 85 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: the game and everybody bet the over, you lost because 86 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: it was forty. It started like forty one and then 87 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: went to forty three, landing on forty. You know, gambling 88 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 1: is tough, man, So I got a little lucky with 89 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: a teaser and anybody, everybody who bet the game doesn't 90 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: get the dub U. I will say, there's really only 91 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: two games that matter. Rob. I don't know if you've 92 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: checked the week eighteen schedule, but I have to do 93 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: the Monday gambling show with Coward, and there's a bunch 94 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: of games that are totally irrelevant and there's really to 95 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: the matter. Rams forty nine is just massive. Forty Niners 96 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: need to win. It sounds like it's gonna be treye 97 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: Lands the Rams. They want to win so they can 98 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 1: win the division and host a playoff game. If Arizona 99 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: gets the division, they then host a playoff game. Okay, 100 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: that's the game number one and obviously Rob G's Chargers 101 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: versus the Raiders is an enormous game. It's basically a 102 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: play in game. You can call out a playoff game 103 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: if you want. Winner gets in. By the way, I 104 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: need to give Rob GI's guy, uh Rob. I don't 105 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 1: know if you saw this tweet. Somebody, one of the 106 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: ProFootball Focus dude put out a a video of the 107 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: past that Derek Carr made two Hunter renfro a k 108 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: a third in Renfro that basically won the game for them, 109 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: And it was the view from behind the play which 110 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: makes it even look better than the normal TV view 111 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: because you have Derek Carr dropping back and you see 112 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: Darius Leonard on the stunt blitz. He acts like he's 113 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: gonna come up the middle and then bounces around the 114 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: center and has a free rush on Derek Cark. Darius 115 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: Leonards and all pro Derek Carr sidesteps him so definitely 116 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: like a James Hardened Prime Euro step just boom and 117 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: then steps up in the pocket and his feet ares 118 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: to a movie. He's not balanced and Car just floats 119 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: it under durest over the outstretched defender into Hunter rent 120 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: Froze bread basket Rob. I don't know if you saw 121 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: the video. That's gotta be a top ten pass of 122 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: the season. That was incredible. Oh, it was fantastic, you 123 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: know I saw. I saw it live, so watching the 124 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: replay on social media, you got even more excited. Um, 125 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: I don't you want him as your quarterback next year? 126 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: It depends. Here's the setup you like. Like always said 127 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: to you up there. I really like Derek Carr and 128 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 1: I think I made that clear on this podcast. However, 129 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: the weapons that they have around him, the offensive line 130 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: is very young and inexperienced. I think that all you'd 131 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: be doing is setting him up to be disappointing you 132 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: again if you bring back the same roster, like unless 133 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna go Waller, I mean they're nine and seven. Yeah, 134 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: I haven't had Waller for like five games. Karen Waller's 135 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: great hunter. Renfro is a very good slot receiver. They 136 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: have absolutely nothing on the outside. Josh Jacobs is good, 137 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: but they don't run block to save their lives on 138 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: that Isn't it easy? Like I don't know what's going 139 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: to happen with fighting actually with the rug situation, like 140 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to get out of that contract. 141 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a morality short of some kind, right, 142 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: So replacing a burner on the outside, that ain't hard. Uh, 143 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: they have draft picks, I'm sure they'll have money in 144 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: free agency, like then they'll be able to get players. 145 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: But the thing is, like if they're not smart about 146 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: because that was one issue that the Grooten Mayock pairing 147 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: had is that they spent big on free agency and 148 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: and almost none of them worked out. So they have 149 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: to be able to to build around him. And if 150 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: you're gonna keep Derek Carr, get yourself a Alan Robinson, 151 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. You know Davante Addams as a pipe dream, 152 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: but like one of those kind of guys to to 153 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: to open things up, because then if you have at 154 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: least one legitimate number one receiver, then Darren Waller becomes 155 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: like Travis Kelsey, and you know, Hunter Renfro becomes one of, 156 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: if not the best slot receivers in football. But if 157 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: you have Hunter Renfro as your number one receiver, you're 158 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: not a very good receiving corps. So if they're not 159 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: gonna do that and and invest in the in the 160 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: outside receivers and invest in some veteran offensive lineman. Then 161 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: I don't want him back because all you're gonna do 162 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: is you're gonna be eight and eight nine and seent 163 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: I was gonna be was it No? Nine and eight 164 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: or you know whatever the new? So if they're not 165 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: going to do that, then let him go and rebuild 166 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: and and and go all in with this youth movement, 167 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: because they they pretty much have done that so far. 168 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: They're like young guys. And if you're not gonna go 169 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: all in, they don't bring it back. You just know, though, 170 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: once you get a quarterback, it's like you get a barber. 171 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: You don't lose that guy. You gotta keep that barber 172 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: because he's got the good haircuts. And Derek Carr gets 173 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: you guys at least good quarterback play. Like, would you 174 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: move on from a quarterback who's really good? You think 175 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: the grass is greener? Dude? Uh, Jets fans want to 176 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: kill me for this, Mark Sanchez, when the going was good, 177 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: when you had a d in a run game and 178 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: an offensive line, those are the two best years that 179 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: Jets have had in over a decade. It's been very 180 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: feutile since now I will point out for you, for 181 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: you guys at Hope. The craziest stat is the Philadelphia 182 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: Eagles this season do not have a win over a 183 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: team over five. They have zero. Rob do you wanna 184 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: you want to guess how many of the Raiders have 185 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: heading into week eighteen four? So they beat the Steelers 186 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: who are over they're gonna finish over five. I gotta 187 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,719 Speaker 1: give Mike Tomlins some shine. We'll do that in a minute. Uh, 188 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: Dolphins are five hundred. We'll see how they end up. 189 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: They beat the Eagles who are over five d that's two. 190 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: They beat Dallas, that's three. They beat Indie, which is four. 191 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: Four wins over Teamtimore of the Eagles have none. Well, 192 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: Baltimore is now under five. No, I'm sorry, they're eight 193 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: and eights, so they could finish over that's a good 194 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: win though, I mean Baltimore who bottoms fallen out? Just 195 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: the injuries caught up with them. But Traiders have good wins. 196 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: The problem is that you can't be losing to Washington. Uh. 197 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: And they played a tough schedule. They had to play 198 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: the Chiefs well in the division obviously, but the Bengals, um, 199 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: you know that loss to the Bears sticks out. You 200 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: know the Raiders have been impressive. Fox Sports Radio has 201 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

I'll just say this, Um, 206 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: I'd rather be the Jets right now. The Miami Dolphins 207 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: the biggest. I know all the Dolphins fans are yelling 208 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: at me after the podcast yesterday, but like, you're just 209 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: such a tease. Honestly, It's like, I don't want to 210 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: win seven in a row, come on the cusp of 211 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: making the playoffs, then get my teeth kicked in by 212 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: the Titans, and now have every question swirling about my quarterback. 213 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: I mean, if you talk to my MA fan Rob, 214 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: they're like, I don't know if I don't want to me. 215 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: While two weeks ago I was like, how seven in 216 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,439 Speaker 1: a row? We got this? Yo? They're all geeked, like 217 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: welcome to reality, Dolphins like it's ugly. Uh, quickly a 218 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: word on Mike Tomlin. Um, I think that the Steelers 219 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: are now eighteen straight seasons finishing better. Listen, Mike Tomlin 220 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: gets people get on his case all the time. That's 221 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: pretty impressive. And I know if he's had big ben 222 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: for I believe all those years. Um, let's see what 223 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: happens going forward. You know, I'll tell you right now, 224 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: they can't go with one of those backups with Mason 225 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 1: Rudolph or um. I don't even know who the other 226 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: dude is. But they're week at quarterback. I'm not a 227 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: huge fan, um of what they've got to coming off 228 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: the bench, but they're gonna It's a decent quarterback market, right, 229 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it sounds like Rob Jimmy G's not gonna play. 230 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't play again this season. Uh, 231 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 1: this hand injury to you? Try out Tray Lance and 232 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: if you lose and the Saints win, Niners your toast. 233 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: Uh Now if you win, if you if Trey Lance 234 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: somehow wins, and remember uh Shanahan does own McVeigh he's 235 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: won five straight. Um, you know, are they gonna be 236 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 1: able to start Jimmy g Off to Trey Lance wins 237 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: to end the season. The Jimmy g thing to me 238 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: is fascinating. I know you're not a huge fan of 239 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: his work. I'm kind of sort of obsessed with this. 240 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 1: I would be into the Deshaun Watson. And by the way, 241 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: somebody sent me on Deshaun Watson. Rob g Uh, I 242 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: don't know why somebody follows this girl.

I don't remember her name. Uh, 246 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: but I guess his girl stuck with him or he 247 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: broke up with the girl and like still got a girl. 248 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: I mean that to me has to be extremely I 249 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: don't know, twenty two civil lawsuits swirling around, still still 250 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: want to hang with you?

UM, 318 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: the Dallas. Dallas is all of the offensive questions that 319 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: we thought were answered against lowly Washington suddenly become a 320 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: problem against Arizona. I think there's something to the Rams. 321 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: I know everybody's gonna take the Packers, and that's fine. 322 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: I get that.

Are you taking 325 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: bad goals? By the way, No, I'm not taking the Bengals, 326 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: even though I know I said on yesterday's pot that 327 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: I think that they are them and the Chargers only 328 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: two teams in the a f C. I think it 329 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: could beat the Kansas City Chiefs. That does not mean, though, 330 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 1: that I expect them to get to a point where 331 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: they can face the Kansas City Chiefs. What about Buffalo? 332 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: I don't trust Josh Allen and and the fact that 333 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: they have zero running game to speak of, which is 334 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: baffling when you're a cold weather team in the Northeast 335 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: and you cannot run the football to save your life, 336 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: makes me a little bit hesitant to pick them. And 337 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: I just think that if it comes down to Josh 338 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: Allen versus Pat Mahomes. I'm going to take Pat my 339 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: homes every day the week, so yes, yes, that's that's fair. Um, 340 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: I just the Chiefs. Well, we'll dive into it much 341 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: more next week will be well. We had a bunch 342 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: of guests leading up to the playoffs. Um, and the 343 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: playoffs schedule, by the way, looks ridiculously good. Yes, and 344 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 1: I am on board with your rams pick because I 345 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: picked a round before the season, so I want to 346 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: be right, So I'm gonna ride your contails prior. As 347 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 1: matter of guys, you can't just be suede because I 348 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: know it's a getting hot at the end matters. But 349 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: remember when Tom Brady goes to the Bucks. Everybody said, oh, 350 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: they they got this, They're gonna go, They're gonna go 351 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: from the NFC. I love them. And then they are 352 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 1: like seven and five and everybody bails. And then they 353 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,239 Speaker 1: figure it out and they don't lose again and they 354 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. The Ramps have sputtered. Matt Stafford 355 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: is buttered. This happens almost every year to somebody, and 356 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: then they figure it out. You just hope that the 357 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: team you bet on can figure it out. All right, 358 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: we need to close with the college football portal situation, 359 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: I was unaware of it. Um, let's just say Monday 360 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 1: was a bit of a busy day for me. Also 361 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: got back in the gym, played some hoops for the 362 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: first time in a while. Me and a dude I 363 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: play with regularly. We we went up there and we 364 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: played these guys two on two and, um, you know 365 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: there's this guy, one of the guys who were playing. 366 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: You know, there's a big dude, you look like he 367 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: probably played like linebacker in high school. Um, super athletic 368 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: black guy. Like he drives in and then he pulls 369 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: up and he's just like levitating, hanging in the air. 370 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,479 Speaker 1: And of course me and my buddy beat them. Uh. 371 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: And then we played three on three with a couple 372 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: of more guys that we want again. I hit the 373 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: game winner in both I'm not even lying. And then 374 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: Rob and I this is I know, Rob laughing the 375 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: reason I brought this up. So I'm like, dude, what 376 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: do you what do you like? He's like three. I'm like, 377 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: oh my gosh. I was like, you couldn't guess how 378 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: old I am? Within like five years? Is like, what 379 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: are you thirty five? I just started laughing. Um. I 380 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I got, I got, I got two kids. 381 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 1: I gotta put to bed tonight. He's like, what it 382 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: just it kind of feel good. I know, I know 383 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: flex there. Um, but I'll tell you I will be 384 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: staying in shape hardcore this year. Um. You know what, Rob, 385 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: we may have to do of Vegas excursion. Um, I 386 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: don't know, some something in the summer I need to 387 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: get in Vegas. The Vegas what gets me wants to 388 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: get me in shape, right, doesn't want to get you 389 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: in shape in August. So it used to be, you know, 390 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: I had a kid, kid when I was every year 391 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: I'm in Vegas for my birthday. So there was you know, 392 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 1: the place to be in August and you know it's degrees, 393 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: but it didn't matter because that's what you've got in shape. 394 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: Four was to be out in the pool and things 395 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 1: like that.

And I missed all this while 400 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: I'm playing hoops and stuff. Um, I guess that the 401 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 1: quarterback of Oklahoma. Spencerrella. We know he transferred, he's going 402 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: South Carolina. We talked about that a couple of weeks ago. 403 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: But his backup, the freshman who was lights out for 404 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 1: a while, Caleb Williams, even playing their bowl game, decided 405 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 1: he's entering the transfer portal, and as soon as he 406 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 1: put his name in, Dylan Gabriel, who went from USF 407 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: to a verbal at Rob's u c L A school, 408 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: decides I'm not going to u c L anymore. I'm 409 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 1: going to Oklahoma and I guess Rob. That was like 410 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: outcry on social media, how can this happen? This is 411 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 1: so bad and clutching of pearls over you know, twenty 412 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: year olds transferring, which is asinine. I don't Rob. The 413 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: instant takeaway from me is, well, coaches do this all 414 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: the time. Who cares if players do it? And then 415 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 1: the pushback is, well, you don't get it. The if 416 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: the players are doing this, it's just gonna be the 417 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: wild Wah West. It's the Wild wa West for coaching, 418 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 1: isn't it. What's the difference. The coaches are doing it 419 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: to level up and make more money. The players are 420 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: doing it too, start for a better program, to maybe 421 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: enanswer their pro prospects. What am I missing here? Rob? 422 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: This seems obvious. I agree with you. I don't understand 423 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: why there are certain guys in the media, some guys 424 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: that have on this podcast before that we know and 425 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: we like that that have this opinion, Like I don't 426 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: understand why it's a problem for a student athlete to 427 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: take their professional career into their hands. And Cayleb Willis 428 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 1: was honest. He's like, hey, look, I came to Oklahoma 429 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 1: with the goal of getting to the NFL. I had 430 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: a plan in place. Obviously those plans have changed. You know, 431 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: when Lincoln Riley dips out to USC that changes things 432 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: a lot. So I'm going to reevaluate my future. I 433 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: don't understand why it's a problem for someone to do 434 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: that because they're a college athlete. But if someone like 435 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 1: me or someone like you is not playing sports and 436 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: we decide we want to go somewhere because things and 437 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: do a better thing for our career, that's okay, Like, like, 438 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: what's the difference? You know, I don't understand why, um, 439 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley, we just stick in Oklahoma, can leave Oklahoma 440 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: because he knows the SEC is gonna kick his ass 441 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: probably most of the year, you know, I mean, like 442 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: a good season, they're gonna be what nine wins, eight 443 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: wins probably, and that that's a tough conference. That you're 444 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: not gonna win eleven twelve games. Every year you go 445 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: to USC you make probably more money, an easier path 446 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: to the college football Playoff. I have no problem with that. 447 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: Do do what makes you happy, do what's gonna be 448 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: the best interest of you. But if a kid does it, 449 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: it's like, well, whether this is not what college sports 450 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: is supposed to be. This, this is, this is this 451 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: is you know, I'm not amateurism, this is free agency. 452 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 1: He's going to go or whoever gonna pay him the most, Okay, 453 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: And like, I don't understand why you're you're so upset 454 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: about it. And so I would like to get to 455 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 1: a point where we understand that college sports is what 456 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: it has been for the last however many years, It 457 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 1: is semi professional sports, and treated that this like rob this. 458 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: I know this is gonna sound wrong because listen, I'm 459 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: a Jets fan. I get into the Jets. My life 460 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: does not revolve around the New York Jets. Like my 461 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: rooting interests on Sundays dude. During the season, yeah, offseason 462 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: a I rooting for the Jet to make some places. Yeah, 463 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: of course, sure, Um again, I didn't. I started at 464 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: Virginia Tech when I went to college, and then I 465 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: ended up transferring to jam U um jam used moving 466 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 1: to the fun Belt. Virginia Tech obviously a SEC big, 467 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: big time college football. It's tough for me to wrap 468 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: my head around, like losing my mind over a teenager 469 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: picking my school or picking another one. And I know 470 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: a lot of people out there, Hey man, you have 471 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: a strong connection to your college and you're deep in 472 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: the weeds. And I have a buddy who is like 473 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 1: a Notre Dame booster and he played sports there, and 474 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: I know he's way into it, but I know for 475 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: a fact he's moved. He's not spending all this time 476 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: on message boards, and like his mood's not gonna change 477 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: if a player enters the portal or if they lose 478 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: a recruit or get it. It's like, Okay, we'll just 479 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: get another one, or we'll move on. Like, you can't 480 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: let whatever happens in college sports that much impact your life. 481 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: And I think it's those guys who are hardcore, like 482 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: life and death. If Joe Bob transfers or picks Clemson 483 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: over Aliaba. You know, like I think it's those guys 484 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: who don't want the players to get paid.

It's awesome. 519 00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 1: If I got a job to pay what I pays 520 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: out here, living there wouldn't be awful. Cost of living 521 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: is better than that southern California.

I'm just telling it's the 532 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: perception Rob of l A throughout the country is you 533 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: guys are the worst. Oh gosh, the COVID is killing 534 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: you guys, all these liberals and the granola losers all this. 535 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, come out here, it's pretty freaking awesome. Rob. 536 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 1: Here's my thing. You grew up out here, Like at 537 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 1: any point have you wanted to leave? Never? Never, and 538 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:00,880 Speaker 1: and and and to your point about like the high 539 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: school friends. I have high school friends on the graand 540 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 1: things like that, and some of them are always like, oh, 541 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: I I'm can't wait to leave California at gas prices 542 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: are too high, getting taxed too much, blah blah blah 543 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: blah blah. And my response all right, go ahead, but 544 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 1: go for it exactly, like and and and there, and 545 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 1: they're a great place to you know, I enjoy Seattle. 546 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 1: I love Vegas. Like we mentioned before. You know, there's 547 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: places in Arizona that are nice. But to me, you 548 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: can't beat the weather and the fact that you are 549 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: like an hour at most hour and a half away 550 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: from anything you could ever want to do. And if 551 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: you want to go skiing, you want to go to 552 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: San Diego. Like it's all exactly. But I will say, 553 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: these are these people who think, like I'm leaving California. 554 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: I'm out of here, somewhere else better, just so you know, uh, 555 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: And I don't want to put my dad's business out there, 556 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: but every probably month he talks to me and my 557 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: brother and he's like, man, I gotta get out of Florida. 558 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: It's just this area. You know. It's like I'm listening. 559 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: It's not a political thing, but a lot of trumpers 560 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: out where he is, so the anti mask thing is 561 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: real there. Um And like you know, he's older, so 562 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: he wants to go to the gym, workout, stay in shape, 563 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: and he goes in there there's all these guys like 564 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: no mask at all, and he's old, you know, he's 565 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: eighty and um, he just doesn't feel comfortable. And then 566 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: he complains about this, that and the other. And every 567 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: single time, my brother and I say the same thing, 568 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: what are you gonna go? Do you think anywhere is perfect? 569 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: You know, when an earthquake hits in California and they've 570 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: all been small since we've been out here, but you know, 571 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: he'll instantly text me, oh my gosh, I saw earthquakecause 572 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: everything okay. I'm like, you know, house shook for like 573 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: four seconds, you know, oil refinery on fire, what's going on? Fires? 574 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: And it's like, yeah, it's happening, but it's like, but yes, 575 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: I know, it's it's weird. Like, but you know you 576 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: want to move north that you want to go up 577 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: back in the cold weather in northern Virginia where there's 578 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: like five six months of winter? What do you go? Texas? Wyoming? 579 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: You know, I'm like, where do you want to go? 580 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: And there's nowhere that's perfect. You just gotta go somewhere 581 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: and make the most of it, right, which probably should 582 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: lead Rob to a deep discussion about quarterbacks and who 583 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 1: the hell wants to go to Cleveland and make the 584 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: most of it. Um. But I'm just telling you guys, 585 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: we probably will do the quarterback story all offseason. I 586 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: know people are getting sucked into the Aaron Rodgers. I 587 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: think that's what he wants, right. A lot of I 588 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: mean a lot of the reporters uh covering the NFL boy, 589 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers sounds like he loves it in Green Bay. 590 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: He's like pumping up the floor. Okay, just how many 591 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: times you guys gonna fall for the okie doke? Wouldn't 592 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: it be totally on brand for Aaron Rodgers to just 593 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: gas everyone up, to say all these great things and 594 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: then get the hell out of Dodge. Now. I don't 595 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: know where he's going, but these guys love attention and 596 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: rob You you gotta admit, I can't recall Aaron Rodgers 597 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: ever doing this much media before. He loves this spotlight. 598 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 1: You know, he's soaking it up. He's holding his toe 599 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: up on zoom videos like that's not normal behavior. And 600 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: I guarantee you he saw the adoration and the praise 601 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: on Lebron and Tom Brady when they left for l 602 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: A and Tampa, and he's like, be nice to get 603 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: some of that will come on these guys. Would you 604 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: be shocked if these guys loved attention? I mean no. 605 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: And you know what's funny is, you know I didn't 606 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: when I watched the game last night. I don't watch 607 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: the Manning Gats Like, full disclosure, I do not watch it. 608 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 1: We've never seen one um. But apparently Aaron Rodgers was 609 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: on there and on Twitter. I guess it was going 610 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: crazy for a few minutes because he said at one point, 611 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: asked about Baker Mayfield and he said give him some help. 612 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: And that kind of made me laugh because I thought, 613 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: you know, a few quarterbacks, in my opinion, have more 614 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: help than what Baker Mayfield has had the last few years. 615 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 1: And in Cleveland, you know, the best running game, a 616 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: great offensive line, a good defense, you got good receivers, 617 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: and it didn't really work out for him. So do 618 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: you think that I was like, it was kind of 619 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: funny because I think if Aaron Rodgers were there, they'd 620 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: be like, while Aaron Rodgers went to a stack roster, 621 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 1: and you know, of course that's what happened, you know, 622 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: so it's kind of funny to me. Yeah, the Manning 623 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: cast thing, I I you know, I just I mean, 624 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure it's fun and interesting, but I don't know. 625 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: I haven't checked it. Maybe maybe I'll check it out 626 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: next week. Rob, There is no next week, alright.
