So then Howard Dean was like, no, we're 26 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 6: gonna press on, and that's when he goes yeah. 27 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 7: No. 28 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 2: Well first he said like, well, we're gonna got a 29 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 2: new habs right, whatever happened to him. 30 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 3: Hey he's around. 31 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 2: They're always around. 32 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 6: Yeah, they're always practicing medicine. 33 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 3: Still, I don't know. 34 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 2: Was he a doctor? 35 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, mum, let's just start. 36 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 2: I was wrong. I'm not smart. I didn't know. 37 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: The Cowboys were actually looked yesterday like a really pretty 38 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: good football team. 39 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 2: Now. 40 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: Was it helped out by one of the most dynamic 41 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: defensive linemen in the league thrown out before the game 42 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: really began. 43 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 2: Sure, but I think we can all sit there and 44 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 2: go like yeah. 45 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: It was also helped out in the fact that Ceedee 46 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: Lamb suddenly forgot how to catch a football for the Cowboys. 47 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: There's a lot to get to it last night's game. 48 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: But I didn't think it would be terribly competitive, and 49 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: it was, and it had everything that was a fun game. 50 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: It had everything. It had just enough like Michael Jordan 51 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: was there, some of the some comedians were there, some 52 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: actors had just enough of the pomp and circumstance. It 53 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: had a weather delay, which I feel was more commonplace 54 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: in college football this time of year. Usually the first 55 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, there's always a thunderstorm, lightning. Games are 56 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: postponed or or delayed or whatever. That happened last night. 57 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: It had an ejection, it had a big fumble or two, 58 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 1: it had it had a little. 59 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 2: Bit of everything. 60 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 8: But I mean. 61 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 2: I was wrong. 62 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: That was a winnable game by the Cowboys and a 63 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: well played game by Dak Prescott. Here's Nick Sirianni, head 64 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,399 Speaker 1: coach of the Eagles, defending Super Bowl champions, on the 65 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: errors his team made throughout the game. 66 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 4: I want these guys to play with great energy, great 67 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 4: tenacity while doing it within the rules of the game. 68 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 4: So we'll address that. We talked about that obviously at 69 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,839 Speaker 4: halftime because I felt like, you know, that's a really 70 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 4: good offense, and every one of their drives in that 71 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 4: first half that resulted in points were all penalties, you know, 72 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 4: And now you know a p I, which that's that's different. 73 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 4: That's in the heat of the game. Those those are 74 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 4: going to happen. But you know, I know we had 75 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 4: one with Nolan and one with JC and that creates 76 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 4: short fields for for an offense. 77 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 2: What do you do buyer. 78 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: I mean to me with the Jaalen Carter thing, I mean, 79 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: he had a pre existing reputation was one of the 80 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: reasons he sort of slipped a couple picks in the draft. 81 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: He's crazy, crazy talented. It does appear if you watch 82 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: the video. Like I don't know if he was goaded 83 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: into it. I mean, if we're honest with ourselves, he 84 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: shouldn't have been close to the Cowboys huddle right like 85 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: the ball was five yards away. He was supposed to 86 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: be on the other side of the football, but he 87 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: wasn't because he was talking ish to the Cowboys before 88 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: they get ready for their first snap. Dak Prescott could 89 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: have just done his deal and let one of his 90 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: linemen take care of it instead. Now he kind of 91 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: walks over, does little John Wayne walk spits on the ground, 92 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: and then gets spit in his chest. I don't know 93 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: whether or not it cleared the chest into that neck area, 94 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 1: but I do like the fact that we now know 95 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: there was a second spitter. Like Seinfeld, you know what 96 00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 1: I'm talking about, back and to left, back and to left. 97 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: But I don't know what else you'd do, Like you 98 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: pointed out, but he missed a game because of it. 99 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: So I kind of think we're good, Like, if you 100 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: have another issue, all right, we're gonna have to sit 101 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: you for another game or have to the only thing 102 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: that he lacked, and I'll probably he'll probably get it 103 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: here in the mail is a fine, and he'll probably 104 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: get it from the league. But I don't know what 105 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: you do with Jalen Carter when he was in fact 106 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: suspended for a game for hawking a quick little loogie 107 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: on Dak Prescott's chest. 108 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 9: Well, I look at it differently. I mean, I think 109 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 9: he got kicked out of a game. I don't think 110 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 9: that the penalty is. It's different if the Eagles are like, 111 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 9: you know what, you did this in practice, You're not 112 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 9: gonna play on Sunday or you're not gonna play on 113 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 9: Thursday night. It's completely different than this, which, by the way, 114 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 9: I thought that completely took the juice and any of 115 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 9: the wind out of the Eagles sales for what could 116 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 9: have been an exciting first quarter or ramped up first 117 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 9: quarter because of you defending your Super Bowl crown in 118 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 9: the opener on Thursday night. I think it took everything 119 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,559 Speaker 9: away from Philadelphia. And I do think that it could 120 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 9: be a sign of things to come because of what 121 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 9: you laid out with Jalen Carter. There was a reason 122 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 9: he fell in the draft and the great play that 123 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 9: he's had. Doug has made Howie Roseman look like a 124 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 9: genius up until this point. But now you have a 125 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 9: Super Bowl ring, and if it's not Jalen Carter, are 126 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 9: other players also falling victim to this sort of thing 127 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 9: of Hey, maybe we don't have to maybe now it's 128 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 9: more about me since we got that ring. I tweeted 129 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 9: last night, I took five seconds for us to hate 130 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 9: the Eagles again, Like that was really quick. 131 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 2: I saw. I saw that tweet. 132 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: And my problem was I was at I was at 133 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: a gathering and I'm like, saw your tweet and I 134 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: look up and I'm like, I don't even know what 135 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: he's talking about. And then people are like elbowing and needling, 136 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: and I go look up, like when did that happen? 137 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 2: Like before the first snap? 138 00:06:59,240 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 10: What? 139 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a weird one. 140 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 9: So it just it just tells me like there was 141 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,239 Speaker 9: nothing that Nick Sirianni or Vic Fangio or Howie Roseman 142 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 9: or Jeffrey LORII or anybody did to have Jalen Carter 143 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 9: say grow up in the offseason from the Super Bowl. 144 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 9: Him getting kicked out isn't the one game penalty and 145 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 9: move on. I think it's more of it could be 146 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 9: representative of maybe what this is all about with the 147 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 9: Philadelphia Eagles. I think that there are pitfalls like this, 148 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 9: After you win, does everybody want to get fat and 149 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 9: get their own We shall see seventeen more weeks to 150 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 9: play sixteen more games. 151 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 2: That was as classic an Eagles win early in the 152 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 2: season as you're gonna find. Was it two years ago? 153 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: They were like ten and one to start the season, 154 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: and we're like, and it seemed like every game was 155 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: an escape? Yeah, you know, and then yeah, that's what 156 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: that felt like. Cowboys felt like the better team last night. 157 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: If he didn't know that that the Eagles won the 158 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, if he did know they had Saquon, if 159 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: he didn't know that that the Giants had trade away 160 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: their best defensive player, you'd be like, I've just watching 161 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: these two teams. The one with the star in their 162 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: helmet's probably better. They just made some mistakes and weren't able. 163 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 2: To capitalize as much. But that's how the Eagles win. 164 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: And I think the one thing you do caution yourself 165 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: against and this sounds like the opposite of coach peak. 166 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: Am I do I like to implore more discipline on 167 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: my team? 168 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 2: Sure? 169 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: Sure, but you do in football you do have to 170 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: have that edge. Right, It's like they want you to 171 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: block not just to the whistle, but to the end 172 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: of the whistle, right before they let off the whistle. Right, 173 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: there's just that little there's a level of aggression, there's 174 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: a level of energy. There's that magical level, if you will, 175 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: that you're trying to get to. And you don't want 176 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: to take it away from Jalen Carter, but this, as 177 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: you point out, that tracks like anything you've read about 178 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: Jalen Carter leading up into the NFL and some once 179 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 1: he's been in the NFL. Is why he is again, 180 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: why Howie Roseman took a risk that others weren't willing 181 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: to take. Here's Brian Schottenheimer after coaching his first game 182 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: as a head coach with the Dallas Cowboys. 183 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 11: I don't worry about see lamb. See He's gonna be fine. 184 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 11: What a great player. Again, you know, this was a 185 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 11: this was a team defeat, and we own that. You know, 186 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 11: we understand where we can go as a football team. 187 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 11: We understand. I love the competition. I thought guys competed 188 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 11: their butts off. I thought that was great. But we're 189 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 11: all about winning, and we didn't win tonight, and so 190 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 11: therefore it's not good enough. 191 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: Here's the other thing we probably missed on Brian Schottenheimer. Now, 192 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: the first thing is Dak Prescott looked really good and 193 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: really mobile. And I would also point out that again 194 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 1: we've we've never held Dak in the regards of the 195 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: elite quarterbacks, and I think rightfully so, because he's never 196 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: performed well enough in the playoffs to earn that distinction. 197 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 2: But Jerry is not an idiot. 198 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: He did put a bunch of money in him, and 199 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: after last night, like you know what, the old man 200 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: still may know a thing or two about a football player. 201 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: But the thing that the Cowboys made sure they did 202 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: with their head coach is have continuity. The reason they 203 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: held on to Schottenheimer was Dak really liked him. They 204 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: worked together well. He felt like his offense, his style, 205 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: his play calling. 206 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 2: That works for him. So while we're. 207 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: Concern ourselves with Pickens, who still has He's talented but 208 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: still got a lot of turn in him. He doesn't 209 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: block things, he doesn't murders routes all out of stacking 210 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: the ball. But while we're so concerned with their wide 211 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 1: receiving core, their offensive line, their ability to run the football, 212 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: or whatever, what I thought last night was it was 213 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: a win for continuity. Now that will start to even 214 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: out the later we get into the season, because the 215 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: Eagles have a new offensive courdon or a new play caller, 216 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: so it's always going to be a little bit new, 217 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: a little bit different, and take a little bit of 218 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: an adjustment period. 219 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 2: And they didn't play in the preseason. But last night 220 00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 2: was a little bit of a win. 221 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: Was a win for the boys, even though they lost, 222 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: because we all thought they were gonna get blown out 223 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: and they didn't, and they looked like the better team. 224 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: They just didn't make a couple plays here or there 225 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: that should have solidified them as the better team, or 226 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: at least make the Eagles play a little bit better, 227 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: make the Eagles throw the ball down the field, something 228 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: they didn't have to do last night or couldn't do. 229 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 8: This is the best of the Done Dot Leap Show 230 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 8: on Fox Sports Radio. 231 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: Hey what up, but you Doug gott Leap Show Fox 232 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: Sports Radio, iHeartRadio app. I hope you're having a great day. 233 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: It's a Friday. 234 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 2: You should be having a good day.

God do right? 240 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 2: Really interesting? Everybody will care? Week one? Week two? Nobody cares? 241 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 2: Hey can I? 242 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: I This is is unscripted and not that our show 243 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: has written, but we do kind of plan out we're 244 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: going to talk about and Dan, I want to get 245 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: to your your topic in a second. Something we discussed 246 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: because tonight you got Chargers taking on the Chiefs in Brazil. 247 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: We are all fans of the man Rob Parker. 248 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 2: Is that fair right? We're fans of the man Robs 249 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 2: a great guy, great guy. 250 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 10: Yep. 251 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:32,719 Speaker 1: Okay, his of his signature takes, right of his signature 252 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: takes are the ones you're like, Rob Parker, like any 253 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: the guy who said, okay, that's your signature, take. 254 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 2: His signature takes. 255 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: I believe probably number one definitely on his Mount Rushmore 256 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: is that Tom Brady was not the greatest quarterback of 257 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: all time, but the luckiest quarterback of all time? Doesn't he 258 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: call him the lope, the luckiest of all time? Am 259 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: I correct in saying that? 260 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:55,839 Speaker 9: Guys? 261 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 2: Yes? 262 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: Okay, So he is openly rooting for Bill Belichick to fail. 263 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: He's made it a point in his radio show. That's 264 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 1: what his show essentially at times see and Kevin Washington, 265 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: where he's like, Hey, I just wander I'm so happy 266 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: he lost. 267 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,199 Speaker 2: I want him to lose. 268 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: Because he wants to prove right that he's not. He's arrogant, 269 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: not really that good at coach. Without Tom Brady, he'd 270 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: be nothing. That goes completely counter to his signature. Take 271 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: if Tom Brady's just lucky, well, then Bill Belichick has 272 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 1: to be good. But if Bill Belichick was just lucky 273 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: to have Brady, then how does that actually work? 274 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 2: Am I making sense? 275 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 3: Yep? 276 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 9: Yep? 277 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: Okay, I mean obviously part of this is we know 278 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: too much. North Carolina takes on Charlotte, which used to 279 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: be North Carolina Charlotte. Now it's just Charlotte and their 280 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: thirteen a half point favorites against the forty nine ers, 281 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: which didn't we have a discussion about how why they're 282 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: forty nine ers? 283 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 2: That last week? Was that us? 284 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: I thought we did. I had that discussion with somebody. 285 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: Where are they forty nine ers? But North Carolina goes 286 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: to Charlotte, and I think they play where the Panthers 287 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: play in Bank of America and then they take on Charlotte, 288 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: So they'll win this week, and if they win this week, 289 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: people'll not mention it at all. But I just I 290 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: thought that was a contradictory to his signature take take, 291 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: and I call him out on such. 292 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 6: I'm sure he'll be challenged with that at some point 293 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 6: and then we'll get some kind of explanation. So I 294 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 6: don't know how you can have it both ways. How 295 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 6: Brady can be when it's your show. You can't, But 296 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 6: how can you explain it? 297 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 2: I don't know. 298 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: That'd be great. I would love to I would love 299 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: to know that. Okay, tonight we have Chargers Chiefs. Before 300 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: we get to your take on it, Dan Byer, you 301 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: got a couple of Charger fans here, right, but you 302 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: also had a guy who picked the. 303 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 2: Chiefs win to go to the super Bowl. 304 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: Okay, So before again, before we get to that, let 305 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: me just state I don't think the Chiefs are that good. 306 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: I would love to see the Chiefs not get to 307 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I would love to see somebody new 308 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: get there, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, or me, even our 309 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: guy Herbie or Joe Burrow get back to the super Bowl. 310 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: I would love to see that happen. But every year 311 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: that Pat Mahomes has been a starting quarterback, he's been 312 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: at minimum the AFC Championship Game. So it stands the 313 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: reason it's really really dumb to pick against Pat Mahomes 314 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: and Andy Reid when we have like a decade of 315 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: data that tells us if he's playing quarterback, they're going 316 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: to be in the AFC Championship Game. 317 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 2: So when I say. 318 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: That, that is my take emotion out of it, take 319 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: any analysis out of it, and just go with historical 320 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: data and do the best you can with it. That's 321 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: where I am on the Chiefs. Okay, Jay Stu. I 322 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: think we both know that the Chargers are in a 323 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: much better place with Jim Harbaugh as their head coach, 324 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: right Like, we both like, yeah, he'll figure it out eventually. 325 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: But they lost their starting left tackle, the best in 326 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: the league, or one of the best in Rashwan's Slater. 327 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: It's still it's year two, so it's still a work 328 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: in progress in terms of them changing the roster around 329 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: Wide Receiving Corps. Lad mcconkey's the best. You know you 330 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: you know you bring back kind of a legend as well. 331 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: I don't know where are you on the charge, Like, 332 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: what are your reasonable expectations as a Charger fan. 333 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 3: I think that the Slater thing is is devastating. To 334 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 3: be honest, I hate it. I actually told Dan Bayer, 335 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 3: who's an Ohio state guy who hates that Jim Harbaugh 336 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 3: got away with what he did at Michigan, I said, 337 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 3: take solace in this. Karma has ways of coming back around. 338 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 3: And I think maybe the Slater injury is karma for 339 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 3: what Jim Harbaugh did at Michigan. Just my theory. I 340 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 3: can't prove it, but I'm thinking. 341 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: I'm Rashaan Slater getting hurt is karma for a for 342 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 1: a no name coordinator going out and stealing signs. 343 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 3: And not getting punished for it. 344 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: They get punished for it, barely, barely. They have suspended 345 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: for games. They got punished for it. 346 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, Buyer disagrees, and I said, Dan, if. 347 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: You can say, you can say the punishment wasn't severe 348 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: enough in your opinion, but please don't say they haven't 349 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: been punished for it. But everyone involved that we're aware 350 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: of has been punished somewhat severely. 351 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 2: Anyway. 352 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 3: Point of contention between the buyer and. 353 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: Gottwad buyers just, I mean, buyer completely ignores all of 354 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: Ohio states misgiving. 355 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 9: I just I just don't want Doug to get into 356 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 9: shouting fest twenty. 357 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's okay, Okay, here's Dog's talking loud. 358 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 9: Dogs talk, I'm talking loud. 359 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 2: Let's get to this is Dan Patrick on tonight's Chiefs 360 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 2: Chargers game. 361 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 7: You have the Chiefs and the Chargers in Brazil. Now 362 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 7: here's the problem I have with this. I know we're 363 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 7: getting to you know, global expansion here, but the fact 364 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 7: that the Chargers in Chiefs, a divisional rivalry game is 365 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 7: going to be played in Brazil is malpractice. I mean, 366 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 7: that's terrible because that should be played in Los Angeles, 367 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 7: or if it was going to be played in Kansas City. 368 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 7: This is a divisional game, and I don't think the 369 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 7: fans in Brazil were going to go, hey, we better 370 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 7: get an opening game, we better get a week one game. 371 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 7: I'm not anti international. What I am anti is a 372 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 7: divisional game we're going to export and it's week one. 373 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 7: You can't do that to the Chiefs and the Charger 374 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 7: fans this week seven and then you have a bye week. 375 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 7: If you want to do it that way, then I 376 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 7: think it's fair to all involved. You can still have 377 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 7: games there, but let's not have opening day or their 378 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 7: first week, their first game, a divisional game, and you're 379 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 7: going to play it in Brazil. 380 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 1: Last year was Packers, I mean Packers Eagles. It was 381 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 1: in Brazil on a Friday night, so same bat time, 382 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: same bat channel, same conference, different division, but it ended 383 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: up being a rematch in the playoffs, right, So I 384 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: do think that there are some very specific parts of 385 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: this matchup which makes it okay. And this is as 386 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: a Charger fan, what do we think the ratio is 387 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: in Sofi? 388 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 2: Game was supposed to be played in Sofi? 389 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 10: Just see? 390 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 2: How do you know? Because they're still playing Chargers Chiefs 391 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 2: in Kansas City? Okay? So this was a Chargers home game. 392 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: And the first thing is, if we're honest with ourselves, 393 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 1: the Chargers have to kind of do everything they can 394 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,199 Speaker 1: to acquiesce to the League, because without the league, they 395 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't have the sweetheart deal of no rent being in 396 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: Los Angeles, tripling the value of the franchise. Right, they 397 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: have a lot. There's some benefits to it. But you're 398 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: gonna lose a game, Okay, it sucks that you're losing 399 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: a Chief's home game. On the other hand, a Chief's 400 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 1: home game is full of Chiefs fans. I've been to 401 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: this game. It's three quarters red and maybe a quarter 402 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: of powder blue. You go to Brazil and there's not 403 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 1: a ton of local fans. It's a neutral side game. 404 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 2: I actually think there's a world where you go you 405 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:38,439 Speaker 2: really think. 406 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 9: That the Chargers are just as popular in Brazil than 407 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 9: than the Chiefs are. 408 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: No, But again, it doesn't it's not like that fans 409 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: they don't like they it's not not the same. Do 410 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 1: you think it's the same level of passion. They're just 411 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 1: they wear the Mahomes jerseys because they've seen him win, 412 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: and they sing songs, likely because that's what you you 413 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 1: in other countries. But it's not the raucous Chief Kingdom atmosphere, 414 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 1: if you will, and like, look, we we have exported, 415 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: specially to England and Germany. Some dog poop games, right, 416 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: like how many times? Like did we get the did 417 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: we get the Jaguars again? Bloody hell, we got to 418 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: Jaguars again. We're sending two good button teams down there, 419 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 1: good colors. Okay, dann Byer you taking. 420 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 9: Away, it's a much bigger story than just the Chargers 421 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 9: don't draw well at home Because to what you're saying, 422 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 9: I think that travel is involved as well. Instead of 423 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 9: sleeping at home in your beds, not having a travel weekend. 424 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 9: The Chargers now have eight of those this year. Every 425 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 9: team in the AFC outside of the Chargers have nine 426 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 9: of those. So there, so they're they're at a disadvantage there, 427 00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 9: maybe not every team, but I'll get to that in 428 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 9: a second. The NFL prides itself on this balanced schedule 429 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 9: so much so that we basically know fourteen of seventeen 430 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 9: opponents for every team for next year and guess what 431 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 9: the year after that and the year after that, because 432 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 9: they have a scheduling motto, a model where this division 433 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 9: plays that division, that division plays that division, and it 434 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 9: just goes on and on and on. So players make 435 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 9: sure that they're in a stadium like Patrick Mahomes is 436 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 9: at least going to play in a game at Soldier 437 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 9: Field in Chicago at one point during what an eight 438 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 9: year cycle. That's kind of the goal of the NFL. 439 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 9: The problem is with the international series that you talk of, Doug, 440 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 9: is because there are five international games. Excuse me, there 441 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 9: are seven international games this year. Six of those will 442 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,239 Speaker 9: take place in Germany in Europe, one in Germany, one 443 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,479 Speaker 9: in Ireland. Then you've got the London games, and then 444 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 9: we have one in Madrid, and then we have the 445 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 9: game in Brazil. Of the six other games, five of 446 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 9: those are cross conference AFC against NFC. It's Vikings and Steelers, 447 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 9: Vikings and Browns, Rams and Jaguars, Falcons and Colts, Commanders 448 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 9: and Dolphins. Those don't hurt you as much in the 449 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 9: standings when it comes to tiebreakers and other deals. The 450 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 9: other game is a battle of AFC teams in London 451 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 9: between the Broncos and Jets. But the last time that 452 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 9: we've had a divisional matchup be played in an international 453 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 9: game was in twenty twenty two with the Cardinals and 454 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 9: forty nine Ers, and the last time it happened in 455 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 9: an international game in Europe was twenty nineteen when the 456 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 9: Panthers and Buccaneers ended up playing a game. So the 457 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 9: NFL has made an effort to try not to have 458 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,360 Speaker 9: divisional games. And the reason why I think it's such 459 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 9: a problem, Doug, is because the NFL, and this goes 460 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,479 Speaker 9: back to the schedule rotation, wants to tell us that 461 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 9: their schedule is fair. They also want to tell us, Doug, 462 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 9: that the division is so important. Winning your division says 463 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 9: so much. Winning your division gives you a playoff berth 464 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 9: and a home game for the first round of the playoffs, 465 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 9: so much so that they can never get that changed, 466 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 9: even this past offseason with the Rules Committee on the 467 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 9: competition committee. The owners want that valuable home game for 468 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 9: winning your division, Then why are you putting this game 469 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 9: when it's so valuable thousands and thousands of miles away, 470 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 9: When it's a clear benefit to Kansas City and it's 471 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 9: not a benefit to the Chargers. Just because Kansas City 472 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 9: gets to keep their nine home games, they don't have 473 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 9: to play eight true road games. Now they get to 474 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 9: play seven road games. And that's the problem with it 475 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 9: is it's not whether the Chargers draw the Chiefs draw. 476 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 9: It's the NFL and what they're trying to tell us, 477 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 9: they're telling us that the winning the division matters, and 478 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 9: it matters so much that you're going to get a 479 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 9: home game in the first round of the playoffs. And 480 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 9: we think it matters so much that we're going to 481 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 9: make Week eighteen all division games. And Mike Carmen and 482 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 9: I on our I Want Your Flex podcast, little plug there. 483 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 9: I've talked about this for years. I mentioned earlier half 484 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 9: the games of Week eight team don't even matter because 485 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 9: teams are out of it. So it's more of the 486 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 9: messaging with the NFL. And it's not that your points 487 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 9: aren't valid, because I think that they are in reasons 488 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 9: in sticking up you know, on why the NFL would 489 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 9: do this, But the NFL tells us one thing and 490 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 9: then does another. And that's my problem with it is 491 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 9: this game does mean something to the to the Chargers. 492 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 9: Just to be able to make Kansas City make a 493 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,880 Speaker 9: road trip and have the Chargers be able to sleep 494 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 9: in their own beds, I think is a decent advantage 495 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 9: and the Chargers don't have that advantage. And so there 496 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 9: are other teams that are giving up home games this 497 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 9: year in the AFC, but those opponents are against NFC folks, 498 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 9: except the Jets who have that game against the Broncos. 499 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 9: That's why I think it's it's tough and also truly, 500 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 9: the Chargers are one of the few teams in the 501 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 9: NFL Rams Seahawks, forty nine Ers who actually have the 502 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 9: toughest time because of their location period in travel when 503 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 9: they have to go to the East Coast, much more 504 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 9: difficult for them to travel. So now you're tape making 505 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 9: them travel even more on a weekend that they weren't 506 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 9: supposed to. That's where I think that the NFL is 507 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 9: in a complete double standard and talking out of both 508 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 9: sides of their mouths. 509 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 2: Jay Stude, does it matter to you as a Charger fan? 510 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, it matters, It matters. I would take a hybrid 511 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 3: of everything that Mark Dominic said, Dan Patrick said, and 512 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 3: Dan Bayer just said it. Each of you all made 513 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 3: very compelling points that I think speak for the Charger 514 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 3: fan because there are like twelve of us, I think 515 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 3: maybe fifteen now because of Jim Harbaugh. So Doug's right 516 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 3: in that most Charger home games are neutral games. But 517 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 3: for everything Dan just said, I'm not even gonna do 518 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 3: it the disustice of reiterating it. I want to add 519 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 3: this point. I am the guy on this network who's 520 00:26:55,440 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 3: been saying I have no idea who the international game serves. 521 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 3: It doesn't serve the players, It doesn't serve the traditional 522 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 3: rights holders to have this game on YouTube. It's gott 523 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,199 Speaker 3: to piss NBCCBS or whoever off that they don't have 524 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 3: a Chargers Chiefs game to play. And it certainly doesn't 525 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 3: serve us the fan. We have to go out of 526 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 3: our way to watch it on some streaming network. It 527 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 3: puts a little bit more money into rich people's pockets, 528 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 3: that's all it does. That's what kind of pisses me off. 529 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 2: How much did they get for the YouTube game? Do 530 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 2: we know? 531 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 3: I don't know a billion? 532 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 2: Does anybody know? 533 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 9: I don't have it offhand. I'm gonna look it up, 534 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 9: and I know Sam probably will too. 535 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: I would say, who does it serve? I mean, first 536 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: thing is that it serves all the teams in the NFL, 537 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: because this is another network. It's in terms of business, 538 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: it's genius. I'm not disagreeing with you, but you missed 539 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:58,400 Speaker 1: you missed the big element. 540 00:27:58,560 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 2: Okay. 541 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: The first thing is that anytime this is where Goodell 542 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 1: is going to go down, as historically the greatest commissioner 543 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: in the history of sports, and Adam Silver's trying to 544 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 1: copy it. 545 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 2: If we really get down to it, it's how many 546 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 2: networks can you get on? 547 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: They're on every network, They're on Amazon, they're on Netflix, 548 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 1: and now they're on YouTube. Like that's incredible. And so 549 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: when you get when you explore different networks and different opportunities, 550 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 1: that's new money, that's not found new money, and it 551 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 1: goes into all the teams. And then yeah, I mean, 552 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: like I think they the game is popular and they're 553 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: trying to but bit by bit kind of educate the 554 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: world on what this game looks like, to build it 555 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: into a more of a global game, as baseball has tried, 556 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: but they're kind of limited to Japan and Korea. Doesn't 557 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: really seem to work elsewhere, right, Basketball wants to do 558 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: it as well, Like we're kind of tapped out here 559 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: and they're tapping into new markets. So I think from 560 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: a business standpoint, it's brilliant who it serves. It does 561 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: serve Mahomes, It does serve Herbert, because it does they 562 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: are national names that slowly become international names. But for 563 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: the most part, yeah, all these players at the end 564 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: of it just like we tell them, like, hey, you 565 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: don't like playing was it you like playing Thursday games? 566 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 2: Great? 567 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: Give back that money that's made because Amazon wants to 568 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: buy Thursday night games. 569 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 2: So everybody gets rich because of it. 570 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 9: So one other point to this, and I'm curious to 571 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 9: see what the NFL does, Like this game has been 572 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 9: played in Week one. I think because of the significant 573 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 9: travel and what it takes to hold the game in Brazil. 574 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 9: It feels like they have a better path with Europe 575 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 9: and that travel. So this was brought up this week 576 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 9: that the NFL will not be playing a Friday game 577 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 9: next season because of the Sports Broadcasting Act of nineteen 578 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 9: sixty one saying that they can only hold Friday night 579 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 9: games if Labor Day is early enough on the calendar. 580 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 9: Next year, that will not be the case this year. 581 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 9: At it the earliest that it can be with Labor 582 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 9: Day being September one. So these past two years the 583 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 9: NFL has been able to get away with it. It's 584 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 9: also because of that travel, Doug, I think they have 585 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 9: a difficult time putting it into the schedule where everything 586 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 9: else is. So that's why they've allowed this extended weekend 587 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 9: for the Packers and Eagles last year. Remember the Eagles 588 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 9: played a Monday night game then against the Falcons in 589 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 9: Week two, so they had an extra day to prepare 590 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 9: for that. I'm curious to see what they do next 591 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 9: year with this game, because they're not going to have 592 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 9: the ability to put it in Week one no matter 593 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 9: who ends up playing in that game. 594 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 8: Fox Sports Radio had the best sports talk lineup in 595 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 8: the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio 596 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 8: dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. 597 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: One Sports Start one sport Ends. This is the Doug 598 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:53,239 Speaker 1: Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio. So last night we had 599 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: the first NFL game of the season. The WNBA season 600 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: ended last night. Wait no, no, they're sam. They still plan. 601 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 6: They're just wrapping up the regular season in the next 602 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 6: probably either they have or they will be. 603 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 3: It's the end of the season, pretty much. 604 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 2: What mean they have or they will be. 605 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 3: They might have one game left. 606 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 9: You got about a week to go, okay week in 607 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 9: the regular season, two games left? 608 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, but Caitlyn Clark announced on social media that 609 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: she's going to miss the remainder of the season. 610 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 2: Right, so nobody cares now it's over. Correct, Well, they 611 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 2: canceled the playoffs. 612 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 9: They're just going to right the kidding. 613 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 2: I like that. 614 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: That's a that's a good play right there, Like tonight 615 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: was isn't tonight Chicago and Angel Reese against Indiana the 616 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: fever and supposed to be Kaitlyn Clark right, but there's 617 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: no Sophie cunning In. 618 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 2: There's no Caitlin Clark so. 619 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 9: And there's no Angel Reese because she got suspended for 620 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 9: her eighth technical of the season. 621 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 2: Did she Yes, I had no idea. 622 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: All I knew about Angel Reese was she said that 623 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 1: they need to get better players around her in Chicago, 624 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: and then she said she said it was taken out 625 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: of context. How so, how is that possibly taken out 626 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: of context? We need we need to have great players, 627 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 1: you know, we need just to have better players around me. 628 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: That was taken out of context? Like huh, you know 629 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,479 Speaker 1: what we need? We need to do a segment and 630 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: then maybe expand it. We've done this before. We we 631 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: clean up misused popular phrases, misused propaly and and my 632 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 1: favorite or least favorite one is I couldn't care less, 633 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: which is misused as I could care less, right, because 634 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: if you could care less, that means you care there's 635 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: an amount you could care less. The actual term is 636 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: I couldn't care less. I care so little. There's no 637 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: amount less than how I care. So that's the proper 638 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 1: usage of the phrase I could not care less. It's 639 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: just like people will say that's a tough road to hoe. No, 640 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: it's a tough row to hoe, right. The hoe is 641 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: the garden tool variety. And if again it's an impossible 642 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 1: road to hope. No one can hoe a road but row. 643 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: It's a tough road hough. Anyway, I say that because 644 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: people misuse expressions, and in this case, she's misusing a word. 645 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: This is Angel Reese. 646 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 2: By the way. Are you frustrated with the organization or 647 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:29,479 Speaker 2: frustrated in general? 648 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 5: I don't think I'm frustrated. I probably am frustrated in 649 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 5: myself right now. I think the language is taken out 650 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 5: of context. And I really didn't intentionally mean to put 651 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 5: down my teammates because they've been through this with me 652 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 5: throughout the whole year. They've busted their eyes just how 653 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 5: I busted my eyes. They showed up for me through 654 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 5: thick and thin, and in the locker room when nobody 655 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 5: could see anything. So I would apologize to my teammates, 656 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 5: which I already have about the article and how it 657 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 5: was misconstrued, about what was said. And I just have 658 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 5: to be better with my language because I know it's 659 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,719 Speaker 5: not the message, it's the messenger and understanding what I 660 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 5: what I say can be taken any kind of way. 661 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:09,839 Speaker 5: So I just have to really be better and grow 662 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 5: from this. 663 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 2: Okay, So it's not she goes into cliches it's not 664 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 2: the messengers the messenger, which means it is on her, 665 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:22,479 Speaker 2: which I do agree with, but it's not being taken 666 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 2: out of context. She has to be She has to 667 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 2: understand the words she says and how any they land 668 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 2: with anybody that's not taken out of context. 669 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 9: Yes, Stan Byron, you know it's funny because I actually 670 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 9: thought that she was passing the buck when she was 671 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 9: saying that by saying, it's not the message, it's the 672 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 9: messenger soever, whoever took her message is the one that's 673 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,719 Speaker 9: and this is this is I think part of the 674 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 9: problem is I thought that so because I don't give 675 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,399 Speaker 9: her the benefit of the doubt because of everything else 676 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 9: that has happened prior to this, even if she was 677 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,760 Speaker 9: being legit in that case in taking responsibility it didn't 678 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 9: necessarily sound like that, so I automatically defaulted to thinking like, oh, 679 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 9: she's mad at whatever article or whatever writer or podcaster 680 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,319 Speaker 9: or whoever took her comments and made them sound like 681 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 9: the way that they did. 682 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,399 Speaker 3: It was a writer for Front Office Sports, and by 683 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 3: all accounts, this writer is very reputable. I've seen journalists 684 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 3: in the last two days come out and defend her professionalism. 685 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 3: Remember it was Angel Reis who said that it's not 686 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 3: just one person that is responsible for the rise in popularity, 687 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,839 Speaker 3: it's two. I did it too, And then she told 688 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 3: us that we took her out of context. 689 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: Remember, yeah, she doesn't know what out of context of 690 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 1: us it. She doesn't know what out of context means 691 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:51,320 Speaker 1: she is using out of context out of context. You 692 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,800 Speaker 1: sure he did there. I'm pretty proud of myself, actually 693 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 1: really proud of myself. My point was, there's no Kate 694 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 1: and Clark, no Sophie Cunningham. They can play a million 695 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 1: more games. Are we even going to care? And this 696 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,800 Speaker 1: is this will be fascinating. Let's see what the playoff 697 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 1: numbers look like. Now, I just you can tell us 698 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 1: the league is taking this massive jump. They're doing a 699 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,439 Speaker 1: better job of protecting it putting it on network TV, 700 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,760 Speaker 1: but proves in the pudding. You get to the playoffs, 701 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 1: which again mistake to play them against the NFL in 702 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: college football. But no, Ain't no, no Caitlin Clark, no 703 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: Sophie Cunningham. 704 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 2: Good luck. 705 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,839 Speaker 1: That was part of the Eagles twenty four to twenty win. 706 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,399 Speaker 1: Let's welcome in Mark Dominic, he spent over twenty years 707 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: in NFL front offices, scouting and of course worked his 708 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,759 Speaker 1: way up to being the general manager of the Tampay Buccaneers, 709 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 1: joins us for his weekly Friday visit here on the show, Mark, 710 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 1: wis just your reaction to the game last night? 711 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 10: Well, it's see right, twenty one to twenty halftime in 712 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 10: only three more points to the rest of the game. 713 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 10: You know, felt like it was going to be a 714 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 10: shootout the whole way. But it turns out like the 715 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 10: legs of the quarterbacks proved to be just a valuable 716 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,320 Speaker 10: sometimes of their arms and for Jail and Hurts, I 717 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 10: think that showed obviously last night. 718 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,800 Speaker 1: I was surprised at how competitive the Cowboys were, were you. 719 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 10: Yes? And the fact you know that they had opportunities, uh, 720 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 10: you know with the fumble Sanders and obviously the drop 721 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 10: balls by Ceedee Lamb. They started, had a chance to 722 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 10: win the game, you know, losing jailing Carter. You know 723 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,840 Speaker 10: in the pre with with Dak Fretschcott and the spitting, 724 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 10: you could see that that was an impact on this 725 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 10: team and that defense. But yeah, I mean I was 726 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 10: impressed by the Cowboys and you know new News you 727 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 10: know situation there with coach Schottenheimer, and yeah, they were 728 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 10: absolutely in this game, had a chance to win it, 729 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,879 Speaker 10: which was incredible when you're when you think about playing 730 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 10: the filled up the Eagles. 731 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 2: Week one, what do you do with Jaalen Carter? If 732 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:43,440 Speaker 2: you're the. 733 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:47,240 Speaker 10: Eagles, Well, I think you you've already dealt with it internally, 734 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,879 Speaker 10: but you understood. I mean it's the whole adage, right Doug. 735 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 10: It's you depends how good the players. It depends on 736 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 10: how you're going to handle it. You know, him missing 737 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 10: the game is a lot of punishment. Uh, you know 738 00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 10: they got away with the win. A saint. That's all 739 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,879 Speaker 10: you'll see. I think you'll you'll hear the We've talked 740 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:03,399 Speaker 10: to him about it. He's going to grow and learn 741 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 10: from this speeches and it's not going to happen again 742 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 10: kind of stuff, and I don't expect it to happen again. 743 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 10: It's a big, big mistake, a huge lesson. It feels 744 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 10: like the couple about every decade, right, Albert Hainsworth was 745 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 10: the last one. 746 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 1: Like this, Yeah, Miles Garrett swung his helmet it. Yeah 747 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 1: at Mason Rudolph, you know he Actually the fact that 748 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,319 Speaker 1: it happened before the game started and he got kicked 749 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 1: out actually probably helped him because happens at the end 750 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,239 Speaker 1: of the game or in the third quarter. And I'm like, now, 751 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:33,839 Speaker 1: we got to set him for a game, right, So 752 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,839 Speaker 1: now you're like, ah, he sat for a game and 753 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,279 Speaker 1: we go. The only thing they didn't get was a fine, 754 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,839 Speaker 1: But the NFL can still find him. Mark Dominic's our 755 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 1: guest here on the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. 756 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 2: How do the Eagles do this? 757 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 1: And I bring it up because this kind of reminds 758 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 1: me of two years ago, right where they started out 759 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,879 Speaker 1: ten and one to start the season. They're like, eh, 760 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,799 Speaker 1: I don't look that great, and last night they were 761 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 1: kind of outplayed. Jalen Herd, which is not able to 762 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: complete anything like more than ten yards down the field. 763 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 2: And yet end up. 764 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,759 Speaker 1: One to zero, and you know, and going into week 765 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 1: two with an extra couple of days to prep, why, 766 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,759 Speaker 1: in your mind are they able to win games in 767 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,240 Speaker 1: which at times they're outplayed. 768 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 10: Well, Barkley's a big piece of it, as we both know, right, 769 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 10: I mean, just his ability to make a play when 770 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 10: it needs to be made certainly feels like it. And 771 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 10: you're right on Jalen. I mean, besides the throw to 772 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 10: Jehan Dotson, I mean he threw from basically one hundred 773 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 10: yards on eighteen attempts both quarterbacks. You know, there are 774 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 10: yards per attempt or was pretty shockingly low. I think 775 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 10: the Eagles stay in this because they've been there, done this. 776 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 10: I think because they're kind of used to playing different 777 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 10: games and different levels. Do they play to the level 778 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,759 Speaker 10: of their opponent potentially, But at the same point, you know, 779 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 10: this is some of the I think some of the 780 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,719 Speaker 10: rust because we really rest players now in the National 781 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 10: Football League through the preseason. You know, they don't play 782 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:57,799 Speaker 10: as much preseason game as they used to play when 783 00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 10: we had four games, actually played more, they played less now, 784 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,439 Speaker 10: So I think part of that is just coming out 785 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 10: maybe not crisp. You know, we had the one fumble, 786 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 10: no interceptions last night, No, it really just the one sack. 787 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,000 Speaker 10: And so I think it's just more of everybody kind of, 788 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,719 Speaker 10: you know, getting their legs underneath them and getting ready 789 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 10: for real football. And then you know, that's what's going 790 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:16,319 Speaker 10: to be great about this weekend is watching every play 791 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,319 Speaker 10: and see which teams are even more prepared and which 792 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 10: teams you know, came out flat. I think for both teams, 793 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,799 Speaker 10: they seem to be prepared for the game. Even the 794 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,360 Speaker 10: Eagles certainly made this a lot closer than we all 795 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 10: thought it was going to be. 796 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 1: We're going to talk about this next hour. So Dan, 797 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 1: don't worry. You're going to get a chance, because I 798 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 1: know Dan hates this game. That the Chargers and the 799 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:40,640 Speaker 1: Chiefs are playing a divisional game in Brazil. What are 800 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 1: your feelings on it? 801 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,800 Speaker 10: So I love that we're playing in Brazil. I hate 802 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,840 Speaker 10: that we're playing a divisional game in Brazil. I just 803 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 10: don't think divisional games are so critical and so important 804 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,480 Speaker 10: in terms of playoff seeding and what happens. And I 805 00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,439 Speaker 10: think that that's so important to have your home games, 806 00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,240 Speaker 10: when you have your home games or your road games. 807 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,439 Speaker 10: But you know, ideally this is maybe the Chiefs versus 808 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,799 Speaker 10: some of the AFC, or maybe it's the Chargers versus 809 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 10: something in the AFC. But you know, I don't love 810 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 10: that it's a divisional game, but I'm very excited to 811 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 10: see this game tonight, that's for sure. 812 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,719 Speaker 1: Well as a Charger fan, and Jaycedu can attest to this, 813 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 1: the disparity in the road fans versus the home fans 814 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:21,920 Speaker 1: is not as great as it once was, but it's 815 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: still not great. I'd actually say Chargers probably have a 816 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 1: chance at a better fifty to fifty split in Brazil 817 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 1: than they do in Los Angeles. 818 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,319 Speaker 10: I would have I fully agree with that. I think 819 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,400 Speaker 10: it's going to be you know, much more, you know, 820 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,319 Speaker 10: having been an opportunity to you know, be the GM 821 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 10: of the Bucks and taking it a couple of trips 822 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 10: over to London and play there. You know, when you 823 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 10: take it out of the country, it's pretty chat. It 824 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 10: feels like a Super Bowl because it's you know, there's 825 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 10: going to be Tony Romo jerseys and there's going to 826 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:53,240 Speaker 10: be you know, Pittsburgh Steelers jersey there. But I still 827 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 10: think the Chargers will support and it'll look more fifty 828 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 10: to fifty than it would be lopside of like you 829 00:41:58,080 --> 00:41:59,040 Speaker 10: would expect the game to be. 830 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 1: Stull Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Okay, what 831 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,240 Speaker 1: are you most intrigued about. Let's start with the Chargers. 832 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 10: Well, I mean, I think it just goes down to 833 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,799 Speaker 10: justin Herbert, right, and just what he's going to be 834 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,360 Speaker 10: able to, you know, do this year basically all the 835 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 10: volume of work he's had, but also you know, being 836 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 10: in the system now longer, and what he's going to 837 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,000 Speaker 10: be able to I think accomplish. You're not a huge 838 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:24,320 Speaker 10: Chargers fan, you know, hated the injury that was brutal 839 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,440 Speaker 10: to them, and you know it's Slater and everything, But 840 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 10: I still like the Chargers offensively. I still like what 841 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:30,879 Speaker 10: they're going to be able to do and move the ball. 842 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,560 Speaker 10: I believe in that, So I'm excited about that. I'm 843 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:38,799 Speaker 10: excited to see, you know, Omar Hampton run the ball 844 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,920 Speaker 10: and see what he looks like in a Chargers uniform. 845 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,759 Speaker 10: And I think the main thing is it's it's the 846 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 10: loss of Joey Bosa. But you know, I think Tuley 847 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:50,799 Speaker 10: is going to be a guy that's going to step 848 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,080 Speaker 10: up on the outside and be a ten sack plus 849 00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,120 Speaker 10: guy this year that I think is going to erupt 850 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,600 Speaker 10: onto the National FOOTB League. Here's a guy that's been 851 00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,880 Speaker 10: a great passers, has been stuck and now he's going 852 00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:01,399 Speaker 10: to a chance to be the guy, and I think 853 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 10: he's going to own up to it. 854 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,839 Speaker 2: All right. What about the Chiefs? Same question? What most 855 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:06,120 Speaker 2: intrigues you? 856 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,640 Speaker 10: Your offensive line? Just what's it going to look like? 857 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,799 Speaker 10: How's it actually going to come together for the Kancity Chiefs? 858 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:12,759 Speaker 10: Are they going to be able to protect Mahomes this year? 859 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 10: I loved Josh Simmons pick. I've loved watching him on tape. 860 00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,640 Speaker 10: It's the right side in terms of Juwan Taylor. How 861 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 10: does he play? And you know, not having Joe there 862 00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,240 Speaker 10: at left guard is going to be something to watch too, obviously, 863 00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,440 Speaker 10: So left guard, right tackle. To me, it's the offensive 864 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,120 Speaker 10: line or what it looks like. But I'm very excited 865 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,120 Speaker 10: for Josh Simmons. I think the Chiefs, uh, you know, 866 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,120 Speaker 10: pulled a fast one on everybody with him sliding with 867 00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:35,879 Speaker 10: the injury. He looks fantastic. 868 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 1: When he played Doug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. 869 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 1: I don't think we've talked since mikeeh Parsons was traded. 870 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:44,799 Speaker 1: What'd you think of the deal? 871 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,400 Speaker 10: So I thought it was a little short sighted in 872 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:53,839 Speaker 10: my opinion, from whose perspective, from the Cowboys perspective, like, look, 873 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,920 Speaker 10: I love Kenny Clark, you know, and that's you know, 874 00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:00,360 Speaker 10: that's he's a very, very very good player, and he 875 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,480 Speaker 10: will help the Cowboys in the run game all season long. 876 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,239 Speaker 10: But two first round picks, to me, is just not 877 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,960 Speaker 10: enough value for what he can bring and what you're 878 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 10: what you're losing. I mean, you think about the Chargers, 879 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:13,640 Speaker 10: and you know the draft of Lucas Mannez a couple 880 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,200 Speaker 10: of years ago in the first round, and that hasn't 881 00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,640 Speaker 10: panned out. So it's easiest to then go, well, he's 882 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 10: twenty six. You know, I'm gonna have to draft a 883 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,360 Speaker 10: pass rusher next year anyway, So now I'm really just 884 00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 10: giving up one for the sure thing. The only thing, 885 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:25,759 Speaker 10: you know, I don't know about this back being a 886 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:27,879 Speaker 10: real issue. I don't believe it is at all. You 887 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:29,640 Speaker 10: I don't think you get this bar down the road 888 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,399 Speaker 10: on the trade, and certainly with that kind of money, 889 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:32,920 Speaker 10: would you ever sign the player if you felt the 890 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:34,960 Speaker 10: back was some type of an issue. I just I 891 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,759 Speaker 10: feel like if the Cowboys ended up doing this, it 892 00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 10: would have been ideally done before the draft, if you're 893 00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,480 Speaker 10: going to move him. But I don't think that anybody 894 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,680 Speaker 10: really understood where the market was or where it was going. 895 00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 10: And I think for the Packers, you know, I'd like 896 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:51,120 Speaker 10: to trade hate the contract if i'm you know, I'm 897 00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,319 Speaker 10: never matter the player get as much money as you can. 898 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,839 Speaker 10: But they just obliterated, you know, the contracts of defensive ends. 899 00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,920 Speaker 10: I mean, you look around the National Football Aga you 900 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:02,480 Speaker 10: start to think about the guys that you know, just 901 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,600 Speaker 10: redid their deals because they're you know, worried about you know, 902 00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,839 Speaker 10: they feel like they're under I mean, it made Max 903 00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:12,080 Speaker 10: Crosby's deals, which tried to be right wrong again. I mean, 904 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 10: it's it was such an anomaly contract. It's almost Deshaun 905 00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,800 Speaker 10: Watson like. I know, it's not fully guaranteed, but it 906 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,960 Speaker 10: jumped so dramatically when there was already you know, pieces 907 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,960 Speaker 10: there that said, hey, you could blueprint off that. But 908 00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,360 Speaker 10: kudos to the player in the agent. You know, if 909 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,279 Speaker 10: you can get that kind of money, it was fantastic. 910 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:29,600 Speaker 2: It's gonna be fascinating. 911 00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:33,000 Speaker 1: Okay, So what does it do for the Packers this year. 912 00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 1: For your personal expectations of the Packers. 913 00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,120 Speaker 10: Yeah, so, as you know, and as we've talked, and 914 00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,319 Speaker 10: I'm very thankful that we had a game last night. 915 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:42,840 Speaker 10: We get to watch games tonight and all through the 916 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:46,320 Speaker 10: weekend finally again. But I've been on the Packers bandlegon 917 00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 10: and i've been before the trade, and you know, I 918 00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,400 Speaker 10: still believe in Jordan Love and and then what I 919 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,360 Speaker 10: think they're going to do with Golden and at the 920 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,960 Speaker 10: wide receiver position, and just you know, I've talked about 921 00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:56,799 Speaker 10: Luke Musgrave being there. I think that's a piece that 922 00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:58,840 Speaker 10: the people haven't paid attention to that I think is 923 00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,400 Speaker 10: going to give them that you know, duel with Tucker 924 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,719 Speaker 10: Craft and then Jordan Love and the run game. So 925 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:06,560 Speaker 10: I like where the Packers were already. I thought they 926 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,359 Speaker 10: were right on the heels. It's not right in front 927 00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,640 Speaker 10: of the Detroit Lions at this point. I still Detroit 928 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,320 Speaker 10: a little bit ahead. But I think with this Micah 929 00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:16,760 Speaker 10: Parsons trade, I'm going to put the Packers now over Detroit. 930 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:21,160 Speaker 10: But I think they're both you know, twelve win teams, and. 931 00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,240 Speaker 1: Of course they play Sunday a Lambo that's gonna be fast. 932 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,719 Speaker 1: A lot of those early season matchups of divisional with 933 00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:31,960 Speaker 1: divisional implications are fascinating because you know, so often, especially 934 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,560 Speaker 1: with teams limited reps in preseason, it's not really the 935 00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,120 Speaker 1: true look at who a team's. 936 00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:37,200 Speaker 2: Going to be. 937 00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,240 Speaker 10: Yeah, and it's your point. I mean, they obviously wanted 938 00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,000 Speaker 10: to do that. For the most part, you think about 939 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,440 Speaker 10: the Bucks and the Falcons, or the Browns and the Bengals. 940 00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:47,920 Speaker 10: So we've certainly got the Giants Commanders. We've got a 941 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:49,839 Speaker 10: lot of those games where it's divisional games right off 942 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 10: the bat, and we get to kind of see what 943 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,759 Speaker 10: everybody looks like. You know what's Pete Carroll's team's going 944 00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,200 Speaker 10: to look like, you know what are the Raiders look like? 945 00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,759 Speaker 10: With Gino Smith's it's just you know, against the Patriots team, 946 00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,040 Speaker 10: and everybody's darling that they feel like there's going to 947 00:46:59,960 --> 00:47:01,640 Speaker 10: be the big team that makes the big move this year. 948 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:03,400 Speaker 10: So we'll see what Brave One Company have done in 949 00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,960 Speaker 10: New England. But uh yeah, it's gonna be fascinated this 950 00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:07,759 Speaker 10: week to see Cam Wore be able to be the 951 00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,640 Speaker 10: starting quarterback for an entire game and what does that 952 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,920 Speaker 10: look like compared to what did Caylen Williams and how 953 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,000 Speaker 10: much did he grow from your year one d year two? 954 00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,400 Speaker 2: Arch Manning? What'd you think of his his debut as 955 00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:18,600 Speaker 2: Texas full time starter. 956 00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,719 Speaker 10: Yeah, you know it's a hard place to play. You can, 957 00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:24,319 Speaker 10: you can put that out there that you know it's 958 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,040 Speaker 10: a tough place to play, and you know it wasn't. 959 00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:28,839 Speaker 10: But you you know, part of me is like, I 960 00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:32,560 Speaker 10: know the name is phenomenal, right, the Manning name, the Manning, 961 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,480 Speaker 10: But and I liked Queen Ewers. I thought he was 962 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:37,200 Speaker 10: I never thought he was gonna go all the way 963 00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,680 Speaker 10: in the seventh round to the Dolphins. But you know, 964 00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,319 Speaker 10: Arch didn't beat out Quen yours. And so when you 965 00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,920 Speaker 10: sit there and watch that, yes it's one game, and 966 00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:49,279 Speaker 10: yes there's so much expectation on and it's probably the 967 00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,680 Speaker 10: toughest way to start your college career. But it was 968 00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:53,799 Speaker 10: concerning for me. And you know, I know that he's 969 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:55,040 Speaker 10: gonna have some games where it's going to be a 970 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:57,680 Speaker 10: lot more productive, but you know, to be the best, 971 00:47:58,000 --> 00:47:59,880 Speaker 10: you've got to be on top of your game. And 972 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,120 Speaker 10: I know that some great quarterbacks don't start great. We'll 973 00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:05,600 Speaker 10: see what arch Metia does, but it would be hard 974 00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,840 Speaker 10: to say that wasn't disappointing just from a statistical perspective, 975 00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:09,480 Speaker 10: all right. 976 00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:11,759 Speaker 1: That is the one and only Mark Dominic twenty years 977 00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,279 Speaker 1: in NFL front offices, most notably the gentle manager of 978 00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 979 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:16,040 Speaker 2: He joins us weekly. 980 00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:20,840 Speaker 1: Mark, enjoy the football Tonight Sunday and into Monday.
